One of the tricks played upon the American people since the middle of the last century has been to take unreasonable ideas and cloak them in reasonableness so that reasonable people will embrace them. The main tool for doing this has been the people we call conservatives. One of their main tasks is to take the radical ideas of the people they claim to oppose, make these ideas sound reasonable and then offer up a plan to implement these ideas in a reasonable way.
A great example of this is civil rights. Conservatives eventually came to defend and promote the cause on the grounds that it was always a conservative value, as equality before the law is a first principle of conservatism. You see, civil rights were about applying the existing law to all people. Specifically, it was about granting equality before the law to black people in the South, where those bad whites have been willfully excluding black people from the constitutional order.
Of course, the civil right agenda was vastly more radical and utopian. That is made clear in the Brown decision, which declares all discrimination is assumed to be immoral and unconstitutional by default. Therefore, anyone seeking to exercise their freedom of association must first get permission from the court. Further, it says that diversity is the highest goal, so all public policy must bend towards it. Three generations of social destruction have been the result of this new moral order.
We are now seeing the same trick being played with regards to DEI. At its core, what DEI does is take the open society claims in Brown and formalize them as a set of rules and measures that apply everywhere. It is not enough for you, a white person, to not discriminate against nonwhites. You must commit your life to rooting out those who continue to discriminate and you must seek to remove anything that can cause something other than the ideal open society.
This is, of course, complete madness, which is why reasonable people have concluded that the people behind it are crazy. As these pogroms were unleashed on the public, the public found ways to revolt, even when questioning the goals and policies of DEI was said to be worse that slavery. The general disgust with these programs and the people promoting them is what made it possible for the President of the United States to go on the offensive against the federal civil rights regime.
Luckily for the crazies, the conservatives have a solution. Their task now is to take these repugnant ideas and make them seem reasonable. You see it in this Heather MacDonald column that seems to support Trump’s efforts to remove antiwhite policies from the government. She repeats the familiar critiques of the diversity agenda, which is refreshing, coming from a conservative. Then she slips in the poison pill that goes unnoticed under all the reasonableness.
Down near the bottom, she writes, “The White House needs to persuade Congress to clarify that civil rights mean freedom from discrimination.” Most reasonable people would not think much of that line, but it is the most important sentence in the whole piece and the most racial thing you could read anywhere. It is the core claim of the race communists since all of this started almost century ago. It is the upending of the core idea of the liberal society in favor of utopianism.
Rights, as normal people understand them, are things you have as a feature of you being a human being. No one must do anything for you to exercise your right to speech or your freedom of religion. Rights are negative rights because they prohibit others, mostly the government, from preventing you from exercising your rights. It is the reason the First Amendment starts with the words, “Congress shall make no law.” You have your rights unless someone tries to deny them to you.
Now, consider the claim that you have freedom from discrimination. The only way you can be free of discrimination is if everyone else does something and that something is associate with you. In other words, everyone must do something for you to have this right, which is the opposite of our notion of rights. Of course, the only way this can happen is by force. People will naturally wish to associate with who they like for any reason they like, so they must be prevented from doing this.
What MacDonald is doing is the old conservative trick of affirming the moral claims of the people they claim to oppose, while pretending to oppose them. Every time one of the anti-DEI conservatives cries racism over these programs, they are affirming the central moral claim of the race communists, which is that any discrimination for any reason is immoral. Therefore, any means necessary is justified in preventing people from associating as they see fit.
Civil rights rely on the ethics of the penitentiary. The foundation of a prison is that the inmates must always seek permission to move inside the prison. Their freedom of movement and association comes at the permission of the guards. This is exactly the model the race communists imagine for society, as it is the only way for create a world where people are free from discrimination. You can only be free from discrimination in a world where such a thing is not possible.
None of this should surprise anyone, given the background of the Manhattan Institute and the man who underwrites it. Paul Singer is an open borders fanatic who embraces the same open society ethos as George Soros. He also helped fund the Russian Collusion Hoax through the Washington Free Beacon. Another feature of conservatives is that they tend to be bankrolled by the same people who bankroll the people conservatives claim to oppose.
That aside, it is an example of how conservatives are like a drug-resistant virus that even when they are despised still manage to cause trouble. The reason for this is there is always a need to make the unreasonable demands of the radicals seem reasonable enough so that normal people will go along with them. If DEI sounded unreasonable to you, no worries, the conservatives have a reasonable alternative that wreaks the same havoc, but in a gentler sounding way.

Yep. Drives me nuts how the “conservatives” embraced Wilsonian progressive imperialism and sending armies to invade foreign countries in the name of “democracy.”
If you listen to “conservative” talk radio you will year this kind of shit, like the loathsome Sean Hannity blathering on about how bad the Taliban treated “women and gays.” When did it become a “conservative” principle to give a damn about how women and gays are treated in some Third World shithole?
And when did it become a “conservative” principle to care more about the borders of Israel than the borders of the U.S.?
“Loathsome” is a good start at describing Sean Hannity. Off the top of my head, I’ll add “big mouthed” and “moronic”.
A lot of talking heads have come and gone from the prime time Fox News lineup, many have fallen out of favor, only Sean has remained constant for the last 29(!!) years. And it isn’t because he is saying anything novel, insightful, or even intelligent. On the contrary
I’ll finish — “On the contrary, his CIA pin on his suit lapel tells you why he is there.”
I am sure as shootin’ there was no coincidence that Hannity started the day before 9/11, on the radio in NYC. Just odd.
Sean Hannity has the career he has precisely because his masters selected him to have the career that he has.
HINT: Rupert Murdoch is (((No True Scotsman)))…
He was true Mossad…
Oh geez, the Murdoch’s are not Jewish. The Jew obsession around here gets out of hand sometimes.
Yes, it certainly does. On this particular topic, some are pretty soft in the head.
Murdoch’s wife is jewish. Coincidence I’m sure.
Says, (((Laskow))).
I will say this, he is far less annoying on the radio. I haven’t listened to him since Rush died, but when I did, which was infrequently, I could tolerate him on the radio. I can’t stand him on TV.
Huh. I was kind of the opposite. I could kind of tolerate Hannity, but Colmes was insufferable. I figured Colmes was only there to make Hannity look insightful by contrast.
Saw a clip of him the other day. Man, has he aged. Evil does not do good things to one’s appearance.
He shows a little more of his human side on the radio. Maybe because he has more time to do it. On TV all he does is neocon talking points while talking over people.
Back in the old days when I used to watch Fox, I liked the hannity & colmes schtick – and you’re right, colmes was insufferable and with an extremely punchable libshit mug. He also had the ability to make hannity look good by comparison, amazingly enough.
I love the way he used to say the name “Bibi Netanyahu.” It almost sounded like Hannity was having some kind of a sexual climax.
Bibi Netanyahtzee
Nathan Mileikowsky actually.
Thoroughly annoying and a sell out could be added….
I’ve always used “Bucket Head”
As cringe and retarded as Hannity is, he is infinitely preferable to the likes of Shapiro. The average age of a Hannity fan is likely well North of 65, Shapiro has a much younger audience and does much more damage.
The fourth chipmunk
I’ve always said he has a face for radio and a voice for writing. He is 100% manufactured. He has no organic audience.
He looks more and more repulsive as he ages. Incredible.
I’m not at all conviced that Shapiro has any organic audience whatsoever. At least Ive never met a fan of his even among the most boomerish and normiest types there are.
I wonder if it was all mysterious government money and his backers back home. He went from third tier writer on second tiee website Brietbart to sudden head of media empire? WHILE he did the never trump thing? How?
It’s a common occurrence that a certain tribe’s members will have a successful career and fame prepared for them despite a complete lack of talent.
Some Texas billionaire created Shapiro. I absolutely agree he does not have an organic audience. But between being a Jewish neocon and being willing to shill anything the neocons or the gay old party wants him to shill, he is in good standing with the blob and has his financial backers. His media empire is entirely false too. He gets a new personality and all of the sudden they have millions of followers. Bought and paid for. We know these people spend billions on congress people and the like, why would they not spend billions on public relations? It’s probably… Read more »
Heather thought she was being clever by sneaking the surrender in at the end…Probably went to Wellesley or something similar…As to when conservatives started favoring Israel over the US, I’d say the firing of Joe Sobran was when it became evident…Ike was had no use for Israel, and ordered them out of Egyptian territory after the Suez debacle….
It’s interesting to watch the reaction of normie conservatives when I tell them that I disagree with people like Rufo about DEI at private corporations, that private businesses, like private individuals, should have freedom of association.
If Coca-cola or Intel want to have a workforce that looks like the overall population, fine. But that means that I can have a business that only hires white men or whomever I choose to hire, just as I can choose who to be friends with. Normies brains can’t figure out how to process this logic.
I somewhat recall normies years ago – even left-of-center types – being comfortable with private companies hiring whomever they wanted. Kind of like “whatever happens in the bedroom is your business”.
I guess normies have evolved.
Sadly, they have. Normies are just so excited to push back against the anti-white propaganda and policies that they’re willing to accept the loss of freedom of association. They’ve finally found a counter to being called a racist. “How can I be racist if I’m against discrimination,” they retort.
They don’t understand that they’ve accepted the Left’s morality.
Yes. As I earlier commented, even as late as the Eighties/early Nineties a handful of conservatives would condemn the Civil Rights Act of 1964 but the few who did were suppressed and supplanted by today’s robots. A guy named Paul Weyrich was the last I heard state his opposition on television to the horror of his interviewer Chris Matthews. Barry Goldwater, who was in many ways a bleeding heart racial liberal, made opposition to the CRA a central part of his 1964 campaign. If that were done today the FBI would be ramming down the candidate’s front door at 4… Read more »
And of course by the end of his second stint in the Senate Goldwater was moving left, fast. If he’d lived to be 120 he’d be a Democrat in the Senate now.
Goldwater married a woman 32 years younger than he was near the end of his life, and that explains much of it. He always had libertarian impulses and as I commented earlier was something of a racial cuck.
Weyrich was a good guy. One of his arguments, made not too long before he died, was that peoply genuinely on the Right should withdraw from the broader cesspit, educate their own children, husband Western civilization, and then, after America’s inevitable collapse, reemerge and rebuild a Western state from the rubble. We were to be akin to Irish monks in the Dark Ages.
Odd that millions took his advice about separating yet would denounce Weyrich in a nanosecond if shown some of the things he wrote and spoke. Cognitive dissonance is the default mode of AINO.
I dunno man, have you talked to a lot of homeschool families lately? They’re rapidly coming to all sorts of naughty conclusions along with the rest of us
NOBODY allowed public standing opposes the CRA. From gruntlings up to the president. Can you imagine DJT speaking out against Civil Rights or Feminism?
Beyond the pale. Sacrilege against their real religion.
The assumption that Civil Rights is wonderful and that we must liberate and empower yet more ‘minorities’ is accepted and holy writ in the West.
One-third of Donald’s cabinet is female. Funny old universe, that’s the number of angels that rebelled, too. Prolly just a coincidence. :O)
The worst part is Trump actually believes these things.
Yes, the wealth has shielded him from those harsh lessons.
He has suffered nothing personally at the hands of the Civil Rights Regime, the upper class largely being exempt.
No harangues of privilege, racism and sexism by fat women-of-color on the jobsite. No passing-over for jobs or ed slots in favor of the female or the ‘minority’. No third-class citizenship in the classroom and courtroom.
Donald has no reason to hate the Regime.
Well, except the Regime has attempted to bankrupt him, and kill him. Other than that, sure, why would he hate the Regime?
Yes of course, I know these things too. But I don’t think that Donald equates the Civil Rights Regime with those events. He may well believe that only one segment of, for example, intel participated in those events.
P.S. you’re forgetting the lawfare against him. yr welcome
But of course Lefists, and probably most Grillers, don’t really oppose freedom of association. How many of them rail against the Congressional Black Caucus, Black Entertainment Television, the NAACP, etc.? These people oppose white freedom of association.
We live in a society that, intellectually and culturally, is purely driven Jim Snow.
Exactly so. This Metcalf moron, and there are millions like him, would be leading a lynch mob against his son’s killer if the perp had been white. These types are lost and while extreme shame can be weaponized against them in rare cases, they are little more than racial Moonies.
Yes, the Rufos and James Lindsays of the world have spread the term “woke Right” to plant Crimethink “you’re a leftist” into the minds of anyone who dares to suggest such a thing. One of the many reasons I have stopped listening to these people altogether. I’m sure Rufo will get the Presidential Medal of Freedom by the end of Trump’s term, and it’ll be one helluva’ diverse (but conservative diverse! not liberal diverse!) crowd that day in the East Room.
There’s an easy line in the sand to determine who is on our side: Are you okay with whites (or the various white tribes) viewing themselves as a people and organizing to protect and preserve that people?
Lindsey and Rufo argue about much, but both would say no to that question. So would Steve Sailer. Of course, these people remain silent about other groups doing just that.
I have right-wing gun-nut friends who would cut me off if I asked them that. Reason? Half of ’em would be wearing black athletes’ sportsball jerseys while they stood around their F-150s with Trump signs and American flags. One or two might even take a swing at me. I consider this whole thing lost. Pro (and now college) sports (25-year-old professional Serbians in the NCAA, athletes bouncing from Stanford to UCLA to Illinois each year without attending class once) kills it. The normie mind who worships their local sportsball teams follows the ins and outs of hundreds of athletes, most… Read more »
There is no doubt in my mind that sports, and the integration thereof, was one of the prime salients of our current Negromania. White male sportsball fans came to worship the likes of Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays and Jim Brown, white women, observing their men’s adulation of the Hutus, somewhat followed suit, and here we are in the African States of America.
If you took a peak at ESPN over the weekend, the NFL draft was held in Green Bay, WI. Overzealous, overwhelmingly White fans dressed up in their team’s costumes, cheering wildly for the overwhelmingly black players picked by their favorite team.
The black players were dressed in those pimp-like suits and thick, gold chains, strutting on the stage, while the White fans were essentially screaming about how much they loved them. A pathetic follow up to Jeff Metcalf’s actions.
There are times I am sickened by the nature of my own people these days.
Amazing as it may seem, my namesake, Prof. Irving Babbitt complained about Ivy league students caring more about football than their studies in an essay published circa 1900, 125 years ago. No race angle at that time.
Bravo, Mr. Metcalf. (sorry, Mr Thoreau). The last round of “college” “basketball” with mercenary teams 1 through 4, decked out on TV with the usual panoply of cheerleaders, student sections, banners, and the rest of the dessicated symbols of “school spirit” was an insult to any traditional enjoyer of the the sport. A bunch of black dudes who could hardly tell you what college they were “attending” running around, dreadlocks and suchlike flapping around, taking 3-4 steps to the basket, palming. flopping… I mean, damn… My entire life of following the sport I have loathed Duke, yet I found myself… Read more »
This is it. We’re like the demented old man in The Life of Brian who must be stoned to death because he dances about and says “Jehovah! Jehovah!” in front of people who just want an excuse to stone someone to death. An adaptation covering our time would have the old man crying “It’s ok to be white!”, with the same result, and the high priest – or whatever John Cleese represented in that scene – shouting, “blasphemer! You said it again! it’s ok to be white!” And he gets stoned as well… because he said that which cannot be… Read more »
They killed Gene Hackman cuz his Hoosiers team beat the blacks. First they made him marry a Chinese minder like Zuckerberg and McConnel.
You must have palled around with Methuselah before the flood because I don’t ever recall left-of-center types being comforable with private businesses hiring whomsoever they liked.
Well, I did pal around with Methusy and I don’t recall that either. It used to be businesses under 35 employees(?) were exempt but it used to be only millionaires (billionaires in today’s terms) paid an income tax, so prog mission-creep never sleeps, like kudzu.
They started saying it when they realized that private businesses no longer exist—private corporations, more specifically. “Tech,” for example, simply is intelligence and law enforcement. So it can do whatever it wants to you. You’re a libertarian, right? They’re only against business that’s not of use to the project, small enough to evade diversity, etc. “Guy with a dealership” is still the stereotype enemy. Remember, when Elon laid out his vision for Tesla—when he was still Soy Tony Stark (officially)—it wasn’t to make and sell cars but to use “green” subsidies to wipe out Dealership Guy, the middle-class middleman who… Read more »
They used to just talk behind your back. So long as you were not set up in the blue hives, , and kept a low profile, you could count on a judge tossing any action they brought for lack of standing. The nationalization of these actions, largely Clinton, Chimp and Obango, yanking it out of local jurisdictions to enforce, is what empowered these harpies.
Apropos of nothing I guess, Clarence Thomas was proud of his work at EEOC before his nomination…
Look at that fat hag passing for a ‘judge’ that the AG just arrested. She’s the Poster Girl for the ideological capture of the judiciary.
These women are Legion in the court system and I doubt the nation will survive them. Heck, they ARE the nation now. ‘Our Democracy’
At this point having officially-sanctioned racial discrimination (which we do have) would be fine with me – IF it went both ways. I would not care about blacks having their own prom or graduation ceremony, as long as Whites could also have their own. But blacks – just like Jews – demand to be treated as both ‘equal’ and ‘special’ simultaneously. Totally aside from the fact that equality does not exist in nature, they demand and get to have it both ways. I would certainly patronize any establishment that said it was for Whites only. Sure, the cuckservatards would screech… Read more »
‘Minorities’ are encouraged and funded to have their own spaces. Whites are discouraged and called supremacists and insurrectionists.
Females are encouraged and funded to have their own spaces. Males are discouraged, criminalized and called misogynists as well as the usual supremacists and insurrectionists.
Girl Scouts? All good. Boy Scouts? An instrument of the Patriarchy that must be destroyed.
It’s all of a piece – anti-White, anti-male animus. Fueled by envy and hatred. Plus the cognitive dissonance of accepting that ‘equality’ and ‘special’ or ‘different’ can coexist. All propagated by non-White non-Christians so that they wouldn’t so obviously stand out as alien in White nations. Soon there will be no more White nations. Over 50% of children in the US are non-White; over 40% in the UK. People are stuck on the number and proportion of adults, but what matters for the future is children. The White child is becoming an endangered species.
Yep. They gave themselves the envy and hatred, and the devil gave them the perfect system in which to operate it: secular liberalism, or Progressiveness, where resentment at their manifest inferiority is ratcheted up a blazillion by the lie of equality. Coincidentally, Barry the Lightbringer pitched equality or equity at almost every speech. Seeing themselves always unable to measure up, equality gives them the excuse to bring their betters down, calling it justice and progress. Speaking of bringing betters down, the report from the copter-plane collision is in. The hard-charging female copter pilot — one Captain Rebecca *smirk* — failed… Read more »
Your numbers for the UK are wrong. 65% of children born in the UK in 2023 were white. Roughly speaking 68% of children in the UK are white. Not all white people in the UK are British and many, including me, refuse to call ourselves “British White”, rather tick the box for other and write out “English”.
The Citedel and Augusta Country Club and dames in combat.
Broken barriers equal a broken society.
When Augusta fell I knew the America I loved was gone. Women on the course. Adios.
With me, it was the capitulation of the Boy Scouts. Allowing male pervs in women’s public restrooms was another decisive tell.
“Allowing male pervs in …”
to the Boy Scouts. FIFY.
The breaking of Steven Girard’s will was the outrageous tell for me, and absolutely intolerable.
“I am particularly desirous to provide for such a number of poor male white orphan children, as can be trained in one institution, a better education as well as a more comfortable maintenance than they usually receive from the application of public funds.”
When a couple black orphans were turned away from the college because they were black, as outlined specifically in Girard’s will, that put the race cucks into a sweat they couldn’t endure.
Now they’re letting males who “identify” as women into women’s spaces — sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms. Remember, the goal is always the revolution, not “women’s rights” or anything of the sort.
This is all true. Gov’ts at most levels are committed to your destruction. And most here are convinced it cannot be reformed.
The part of the DR I cannot grasp is that if I had a piece of machinery that was supposed to make widgets, and instead it produced scrap, and I knew it could not be repaired, I’d get rid of the thing. Not the 95% I mentioned earlier, the whole kit ‘n’ kaboodle. Why does DR have a nostalgia for the silly thing? Especially when many point out it was flawed right from the start?
People fear the unknown, and most are highly resistant to change, especially as they age. The left pushes unceasing change, turmoil, and destruction and calls it progress. The right makes it palatable by slowing it a bit, rationalizing it, and relabeling it. I’m an unapologetic accelerationalist. I would far rather see cataclysmic destruction of klownworld – even with all the death that would entail – than live to see AINO continue to slide into Brazil. Diversity is the death of Western Civilization.
Steve, I resist your distrust of all governments.
Sure, most governments have been bad but what if the rulers didn’t hate you?
But blacks – just like Jews – demand to be treated as both ‘equal’ and ‘special’ simultaneously. Additionally and relatedly, they demand whites be treated as both worse and unworthy. At some point blacks and Jews will be officially at odds–it is almost there now–and white cuckservatards will be hardest hit. Case in point: Jewish hedge fund manager Bill Ackman was totally fine with anti-white discrimination at Harvard and lavishly funded it…then October 7 happened and the Magical Negress no longer could be the university president. Whites never will be officially allowed to discriminate under the present system, which when… Read more »
The only thing that matters in the long run is a future for White children. All the rest is just noise.
“Present system.” Agreed.
Corporate DEI policies are the result of government coercion. They think they can avoid lawsuits and government investigations if they do that stuff. Nobody hires incompetents willingly.
Disagree on that one, Dutch. Corporations are chock full of crazed HR leftists and go-along-to-get-along climbers who do this stuff without any coercion whatsoever.
That’s too clever by half for a normie. He knows something is happening, but he don’t know what it is… At the most basic, personal level, imagine the conundrum for a guy like Hannity. He can easily chew up an hour of broadcast time lecturing the choir on the sanctity of individual freedom of choice. But woe to the caller to his radio show who “agrees and amplifies.” “Hey Sean, this is Clem from Florida. Totally agree with you! I own a business and I don’t hire blacks, or Jews, or homos. In fact I don’t like hiring women or… Read more »
The key is to take the poison out of the word “discrimination.” There was a time where it was a compliment to call somebody “a man of discriminating tastes.” Ironically, the people most likely to have this moniker applied to them were people who would recoil at the idea of racial discrimination. The fact of the matter is that people discriminate all the time. Humans are designed for that. If people didn’t discriminate, everything would be a new phenomenon that had to be evaluated on its own basis devoid of any context. Every decision you made from whether you wanted… Read more »
Great post. Civil rights have been an absolute disaster, but whatever it gives the women the good feels so totally worth our cultural destruction. Was at youth baseball tournaments this weekend and the amount of suburban white women toting around mixed kids was atrocious. They simply should not be given autonomy, they are incapable of making good decisions for their people. Thousands of years of genetics being handed down to you, and you’ve decided you’d do away with your blond hair and blue eyes and mix it up with some color. It used to be the trashy white women you’d… Read more »
“the amount of suburban white women toting around mixed kids was atrocious.”
Yeah, miscegenation and/or mixed-race adoptions have become another “conservative value” (cf. French, David and Barret, Amy Coney)
The fact of the matter is that people discriminate all the time. I laugh at line “The White House needs to persuade Congress to clarify that civil rights mean freedom from discrimination.” Anyone who has bought anything on a loan (vehicle, house, furniture, etc.) KNOWS the banks and financing firms “discriminate”. They look VERY closely at your ability to pay back. And sometimes, boo-hoo, they don’t lend the money. As we’ve seen with the 2007-08 housing meltdown, or the sad case of Mitsubishi USA, handing money or goods to people who can’t (or won’t) pay it off ends up horribly… Read more »
It is like the cliche “don’t be judgmental,” which is voiced by someone being judgmental.
I was poking around X and some shitlib said “I am tired of <insert cultural war issue here>, right wingers are being too mean, can’t we just be excellent to each other.” Obviously, nobody has ever told a shitlib that they neeed to be nice or “excellent” to someone who opposes any of their policies, no matter what they are. I mean, they were knives out when people opposed their gas stove ban. The “don’t be judgemental” stuff is just a very good tool that liberals use to hammer their opponents. The fact that right-wingers tend to be more Christian… Read more »
It is or at least was a good tool but there also seems to be quasi-religious cognitive dissonance at play.
When a woman is losing an argument she sometimes says “why do we have to fight all the time”
And then they fight with you over the fact that you started the fight.
Agreed. I remember some coworkers sitting behind me in the cafeteria around May of ‘93 and they were discussing politics over lunch. One female took issue over the fact that one of the guys correctly pointed out how Clinton was never going to give the middle class a tax cut and that his nominees “nanny” problems were a glaring example of the lefts hypocrisy. She couldn’t counter anything he said with facts of her own and she finally said, “Why can’t you just let him be president?” and that comment drew objections from the others seated at the table. the… Read more »
Just post a picture of the Minneapolis riots, remind them how they were swinging bike locks at people just for having a different political opinion. Oh, the riots in DC, buckets of blood spilled during the French and Russian revolutions and the list goes on. It’s high time these people were put in their place.
“It’s high time these people were put in their place.”
At the bottom of the nearest large body of water?
. . . thence to the pit.
I constantly see normie comments boasting that the ‘right’ doesn’t instigate violence like the left when they disagree. They damned well ought to! The left wants them dead and they think they’re superior for voluntarily preemptively disarming. Coward cuckservatards unto death.
OK, but I do not believe it is cowardice. I think it’s projection. He can never imagine a set of circumstances where he would react as the left does, so believes it to be just a few bad apples.
And when everybody in his own circle confirms his thoughts, as does whichever flavor of MSM he favors, and damn ’em, his own clergy prattle on about WWJD, he truly believes he’s the moral one.
Jack Dodson: “It is like the cliche “don’t be judgmental,” which is voiced by someone being judgmental.” So call them out on it. Call them out on it with a devoutly religious conviction. Simply interrupt their blather, and ask, “How can can you judge me as being judgmental without first having been judgmental yourself?” PS: Long term, the solution is not to interact with these personalities; long term the solution is to make absolutely certain that our children do not make babies with their children; and that, in fact, our bloodlines vastly outbreed their bloodlines. In the end, the Ghost… Read more »
I don’t associate with those types now.
Well, that’s most under 30 now, so strap in. They’ll be dominating politics within a decade. I tell my friends in blue states with successful small businesses to get out now, while they still have the opportunity. A few more state elections and the legislatures of those states will begin making lists of property held and bank balances, and go from there with the “laws.” The people who scream and yell when pulled over by a cop for speeding will literally hold the power to take everything from you. But they refuse to concede. They believe they are more powerful,… Read more »
No one believes anything will ever happen to them . . . until it does. Same reason people complain about public schools and local officials, but ‘their’ schools/officials are fine. ‘Their’ neighborhoods are safe. ‘Their’ Chinese and Indian neighbors are all-American. Normalcy bias is incredibly persistent. Many of those who left blue states during the plandemic are now trickling back; others are busily remaking their new states’ politics. We have never regretted selling it all and moving to the middle of the woods, but most can’t handle that kind of change.
Normalcy bias is the hack that has been used on five generations of Americans. It’s incredibly effective.
I’ve never met anyone who has it, by the way. Even when I describe it. “Oh no, I’m not that way, I just look at the data and reality.” Unreachable. Utterly unreachable.
I wish I had known about it when I was making major career decisions and family decisions in my 20s.
We all wish we had been wiser when young. I divested myself of most liberalism in my mid 20s, but I’m always learning. I now make it a habit to thank my husband for providing for the family all these years – especially when he sees what I spend on groceries.
3g4me: “what I spend on groceries“ I’m routinely spending $350 a week, and some weeks out towards $500 per week. Of course, I’m eating organic now, and I can certainly understand why Normies would be reticent about abandoning their GoySlop. $ for $, GoySlop is a bargain. And the moast disgusting spectacle I witnessed recently was a fambly of BEAUTIFUL White females [the husband recently deceased] who all sat down and ate grocery store Goy Slop for Thanksgiving. No original recipes. Just grabbing random processed foodstuffs off the grocery store shelves, bringing it all back home, and heating it up… Read more »
Average price for boneless choice ribeye steak nationally is $13.10 lb. Walmart wants $14.98. Got it on sale from local butcher at $11.28. On sale in DFW (limit 1) $7.99 lb. They don’t want you eating beef.
those who left blue states during the plandemic are now trickling back
That in part is because locals are less reticent than they were in the past. A few years back a popular bumpersticker was I DON’T CARE HOW YOU DID IT UP NORTH. People say those things outloud increasingly, not enough, mind you, but far more than in the past.

I’ve been rather surprised at the alacrity with which the abbreviation, “FAFO”, has raced through the Cracker lingo and into the mainstream of online discourse.

The other thing about “discrimination” is that too many Christians ignore that God created nations. The words natal, nativity and nation, among others, derive from the Latin word nasci, which means to be born.” The story of the Tower of Babel is a great one for this age because God, by scattering the peoples and giving them different languages, showed how he wants people to live. He definitely doesn’t us jammed together into one country, having to be “tolerant” of strangers and their cultural mores that might be offensive. As for freedom of association, the civil rights movement has created… Read more »
Spot on.
I hope the next Pope will understand and speak frankly about these fundamental issues.
After Babel, God divided the languages and permitted nationalism (Deuteronomy 32:8) under angelic supervision. Michael Heiser writes well on this topic.
God is not a globalist. Globo-Christians have no Biblical authority or support.
I went through this argument with my dearest friend, a devout Christian. “Jesus wouldn’t approve of slavery,” she asserted, even though nowhere in the Bible did he condemn it or call for slaves to uprise or be given their freedom. Instead, Jesus pointed out the reciprocal oblivations of slave/servant and master. My friend is not a stupid woman, and I know I planted some seeds. It’s abominably difficult for most people to question what they’ve been told is moral and accept that it’s all lies.
Most people prefer the palatable to the plausible.
Grant: “Nobody can or should feel sorry for blacks as their problems are all products of self-making and they seem intent on generating problems for everybody else.” From the Darwinian point of view, we are all the products of our ancestors’ making of us. The kneegr0w’s problem is that it lacks several hundred thousand years of evolution which the ancestors of the White race had to struggle through. I would also add that the natural mating pattern of most all White Europeans was monogamous 1-Man:1-Woman pairings, with possibly a brief exception in greater Scandinavia, circa maybe the 8th Century to… Read more »
Why monogamous, when most other peoples were not? As a genetic strategy to preserve our breeding core. We of the 124 alleles for hair and eye color have a plentitude of diversity, as long as we keep it amongst our own. In this way, we preserve and reinforce our unique traits. Abraham had concubines, as do Amerindians; heck, Abe got hisself a whole cousin race out of it, the brood by his darkie concubines, the Ishmaelite Arabs. The Semitic genetic strategy is to harvest desirable traits while boiling off their more assimilable outliers, useful to a parasitic people. Their cultural… Read more »
The northern European race changed as much for a thousand years beginning with the middle-ages as it did in the forty thousand before it. Two massive changes forged that evolution in intelligence and impulse control: feudalism-manoralism, and unprecedented outbreeding caused by mating dictates of the Church to break down tribalism, which was the single great impediment to their power and which brought about unprecedented outbreeding. Europeans are not the alone in that period of forged evolution; it happened in east Asia and perhaps to an unfortunate extent. Regular execution played a large part in both civilizations. In Europe it was… Read more »
I agree, but with one proviso–the word that must be detoxified is “racism,” which in the inclusivity-exclusivity dyad, is the primary base of discrimination. I do not wish to be around negroes, I wish to exclude them, because, for many good reasons, I dislike them. And that is racism. This so-called “pathology” is, of course, entirely normal. What is abnormal is race treason, the sine qua non of the Spiteful Matants, i.e. white Leftists.
One of the many reasons I never read “conservative” commentary anymore is due to the reasonableness of their opinions. I don’t want reasonableness – the time for that is long gone. I want fire and brimstone and a spade called a spade…
You mean you didn’t read Buckley’s book-length hem-haw gosh-I-don’t-know-he-gives-the-impression-he-is essay on Pat Buchanan back in the early 90s, which did him so much damage?
It’s rich that it’s devolved to this. “Civil rights rely on the ethics of the penitentiary…” Imagine a day when we’ll all be felons on probation. No free movement.
Me: “I’m moving to Texas.”

I know a lot of the Manhattan Institute types. My regular golf buddy is a member. There are libertarian/open-borders types, some Neocons (Karl Rove apparently spoke there the other night), some paleo-cons and quite a few DR or closet DR types. It’s a pretty intellectually diverse right-wing group. Most support Trump (albeit I don’t know a statistically-relevant sample). Many would accept Zman’s argument herein based on my conversations. Heather MacDonald probably couldn’t speak on 95% of college campuses right now without causing a riot. She is as close to the edge of the “great divide” as any public intellectual can… Read more »
I don’t know but in fairness I’ve never heard MacDonald live in a private setting. I have heard MacDonald on television bleat too much about the poor downtrodden blacks and Jim Crow, yadda, yadda. She may be couching her language/lying but she seems in broadcast interviews to accept the larger point about prohibiting discrimination.
From only casually following Heather MacDonald for many years, I always thought of her as being in the DR3 camp. Dems R the Real Racists is the battle cry for a lot of these conservatives, and makes them feel morally righteous.
Exactly. She is permitted to argue that the real harm is done to blacks. What she knows she can never say, is that this is unjust and very harmful to whites. If or until people advocate for what is good for whites and advocate for eradicating what is bad for them, on behalf of whites and whites alone, it will only get worse. AA was wrong. Woke is not being put away. It is still very much on the rampage as Woke is not Woke. It is a system that is anti-White and anti-Western to its core.

EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE to (((Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum)))’s “Objectivist” meta-Psy-Op.
I’ve always liked MacDonald. She and Michael Anton are probably in the same boat. And she writes very well.
Agree, but the point is still true, she is a part of the right wing gatekeeper brigades–no one to the right of me. Her gate is far to the right of Ben Shapiro’s gate, but it is a gate no less. Shapiro is acutely aware of and devoted to his gate, MacDonald, like many of us, may not be.
This article just reminds me again why I want to roast the Republican establishment over a bed of hot coals.
Heather MacDonald has good qualities. However, she benefits from the perverse incentives of the Managerial system. Most of the managing goes away if you remove the rules that make need for the managers. MacDonald is not a conservative. Conservatives, more rightly called traditionalists civilizational guardians if rightly constituted, play a role which is to create the illusion that writing and lecturing will convince the crazies that they are wrong. This time, MacDonald will convince enough people who will then vote the proper way to bring about a restoration. It is really impotence designed to do two things. MacDonald reinforces managerialism.… Read more »
Singer is what they called a “vulture capitalist.” IOW, a late-stage capitalism strip-miner of the assets of sound companies that actually produced things. Are there any of those bones left to scavenge? So I don’t know what he does today, probably he’s transitioned to full-time “philanthropist.” He’s an early-lifer. Not pro-life, just early-life.
I’ll never forget what that odious parasite did to Cabela’s and the people of Sidney, NE where it was headquartered. I had college friends who had family that lost good jobs because of that buyout. I haven’t shopped there or Bass Pro since Elliott Management sank their claws into those businesses. To pretend that Singer and his tribe’s abhorrence of Cabela’s clientele didn’t factor in to their analysis is naive.
I’ll never forget National Review’s op-ed “Time for a Compromise on Transgenderism”, written smack-dab in the middle of the first Trump administration. It was, of course, couched in the language of civil rights. I am not surprised we are seeing “The Conservative Case for DEI” smack-dab in the middle of the second Trump administration, couched in the language of civil rights. It’s the same script, playing out the same way, because their job is to undermine the Trump administration and try to funnel popular support away from Trump’s policies and towards the postwar consensus. It is positively demonic because the… Read more »
The timing of the film Conclave, in which a tranny pope is selected, just a few months before the real life death of the Satan Pope, doesn’t strike me as entirely coincidental
I didn’t watch Conclave but I saw one clip where Fiennes literally says “diversity is our strength”. Obviously, Hollywood was always a tool used by the people in charge of it to undermine the Catholic faith, because they hate the Catholic faith. So it doesn’t surprise me that this movie came out. As for timing, well, Pope Francis was an old man and had health issues for a while, so I don’t know.
As to his health issues, the question is, was the giant bruise to the left side of his face a before or an after?
“The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently, it never occurs to them that you can’t make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.”-Ted KaczynskiRegardless of his heinous extracurricular activities . . . that man was not without insight. Freedom of association is one such traditional value. I’ll add my own observation: If you embrace the morality of… Read more »
Except Ted is demonstrably mistaken. It’s logically rigorous — if he were right, there would be none who could have resisted the siren song. Since we wouldn’t be here had we been lulled away from our traditional moorings, he cannot be right, other than at the margin.
All he is saying is weak individuals will not stand firm. Not terribly insightful.
DEI is a Jewish invention intended to facilitate discrimination against white Christians. Similarly, the perversion of civil rights into anti-white discrimination and the abolition of freedom of association was also the work of Jews. The whole civil rights “revolution” was in fact a Jewish project using non-white front men to hide the actual movers and shakers. Reversing this situation politically will be close to impossible. The Jewish financial and ideological control of the Democratic Party is manifest and the Republican Party is not far behind.
When someone named Heather evaluates your society and disburses ‘alternative’ information, you’re dun before begun. Why would Heather MacDonald upset the Civil Rights Regime apple cart? It is what empowers, enriches, and employs her as a minor political celebrity delivering that delicious, umm baby ain’t it delicious, attention. Gold vein for a chickadee. No group has benefitted more from the Civil Rights Regime of the past 60 years than women, especially white women, who always lead the charge towards yet more ‘civil rights’ (homos, illegals, gangsters, transvestites, et al.) and maternal totalitarianism.

Down near the bottom, she writes, “The White House needs to persuade Congress to clarify that civil rights mean freedom from discrimination.” Most reasonable people would not think much of that line, but it is the most important sentence in the whole piece and the most racial thing you could read anywhere. It is the core claim of the race communists since all of this started almost century ago. It is the upending of the core idea of the liberal society in favor of utopianism. Yes.

I’m starting to understand your use of “conservative”, wink-wink.
I heard that Claudine Gray was fired and replaced by someone more cooperative, but kept her salary around 80000. sweet!
I was wondering why she went so quietly…
I have struggled with how to describe our enemies, communist just doesnt seem to fully fit, i have heard fascist used but while there are elements of fascism that does not fit either. Totalitarian fits but is not specific enough.
Describing them as leftists leaves out a few sane leftists left among us and some of my views might be described as leftist,
” race communist” however is a decent description of our enemies, as best that i have heard so far.
Cultural marxist also kind of works, but not many people know what it means. Baizuo is the best word I know, but again, most people have to look it up. Once they do, however, it is very clear.
“Baizuo” is a great Chinese import not found at WalMart or Dollar General.
It is a very useful thing to occasionally view our culture from a foreign perspective.
“Gay Race Communism” is something I have seen a few times and it sums it up really well, but so does “Satanic”.
Our enemies are the international globalist conspiracy. Their goals are one world (neo-feudal) government and depopulation. Government officials throughout Anglo-European countries including the US are on-board.
Without the baizuo to help them, how much of their agenda could they accomplish?
It’s only White depopulation they are hell-bent on. They’re fine with all the black/brown/yellow worker bees.
They are fine with bees that don’t work. They may prefer them.

Many of them would call themselves secular humanists and that’s a pretty comprehensive fit. Nihilist, reductionist, materialist and transhumanist also apply. Leftist indeed doesn’t quite cover it, though not so much for the sake of outliers but because the coalition is much broader than that. I also suspect the ‘leftist’ views you hold are only considered such in the current paradigm which has given them things that don’t belong to them and the modern excuse for the ‘right’ has jettisoned.
I use moral terrorist, since that succinctly describes the behavior of the average progressive. They think their good intentions give them carte blanche to morally lecture anyone who disagrees with them. This is where their morally loaded labels like “racist” and “extremist” comes from, them trying to maintain their moral supremacy by attacking the moral standing of their opponents.
z, your old buddy Michael Anton just got appointed by Trump to be involved in the Iran peace negotiations. Talk about a tragicomedy.
“Conservatives eventually came to defend and promote the cause on the grounds that it was always a conservative value, as equality before the law is a first principle of conservatism.” Laws are a codified extension of ethnocentric mores (root cultural [behavioral] values that are downstream of genome). Making sure that the law applies equally to everyone (rule of law) is all fine and good. Where the conservatives went wrong was not ensuring the laws that govern us all remained an extension of OUR Northwestern European ethnocentric mores. We now have neither laws that are ours, nor equal and fair application… Read more »
NR, Buckley’s old magazine, recently used its issue celebrating his 100th birthday to condemn him for opposing Brown, desegregation and voting rights until the mid-1960s. It wasn’t enough for them he sold out at a critical time, during LBJ’s “civil rights” purges. They dug up his past offenses against the Party Line, which might have stemmed from his partly Southern heritage. After he flipped, he became the top purger for conservatism, as Z has written about in a couple of places, leaving the movement as sterile as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1980. Here’s the online version:… Read more »
John O’Sullivan once noted that any institution not explicitly rightwing will become leftwing over time. But, as the case of NR has shown, even being explicitly rightwing is not enough. For there to be any hope of any rightwing institution holding the line, there must be a rightwing charter in place that is based upon a clear, rigorous and rigid definition of Rightism, and absolute ideological purity of all members must be maintined through discrimination and occasional expulsion. What’s more, there must be the willpower to do what is necessary permanently.
There’s a case to be made that NR’s explicit right wingness was a deception from the git go
Definitely NRO. My first exposure to NRO was a rabid leftie who recommended an article by, IIRC, Goldberg.
That’s rich but quite on brand. In addition to being realistic about race, Buckley was a typical Catholic rightist of his era and had big problems with Israel and Jewish influence. I have absolutely no doubt he attacked Buchanan and wrote IN SEARCH OF ANTISEMITISM to project his past onto someone’s present and divert attention there; someone had to finance his clown show. So it makes perfect sense NR would now offer up Buckley as a human sacrifice. When Z writes “never trust a conservative,” believe him.
Saw an image on npr the other day of some middle/older privileged white women protesting… something.
One had a sign which read “Say ‘no’ to transgender discrimination.” Transgender is not a word but anyway I take this to mean; “Say the word ‘no’ to discerning the difference of people who are not acknowledging differences who want to be different.” Do I have that right?
Do acknowledge that a man in a dress isn’t a women but don’t acknowledge that men and women are different. Don’t allow a man into a woman’s bathroom but do allow women into a men’s only college.
Grandma / Karen ain’t got nothing better to do so she’s out there spouting nonsense.

Getting stabbed in the back by a conservative is as reliably predictable as gravity, but knowing that is not a solution to anything. And neither is the “lesser of evils” justification for voting R. You still can’t reach around to plug the leak and hence you will bleed out soon enough. The Donkey-Elephant duality is just a distraction to keep you on the couch. There is no intangible solution to this problem. Smarter, not harder.
This new format makes it really wonky to comment! But it’s my 15 minutes, so it’s worth it!

“One of the tricks played upon the American people since the middle of the last century has been to take unreasonable ideas and cloak them in reasonableness so that reasonable people will embrace them.” That trick goes all the way back to the beginning of the USA. It was used effectively in the declaration of “Separation”, and there’s been no end to its use ever since. To become a good American has required all along a suspension of reasonableness, connivance at obvious falsehoods, gullibility, and practiced illogical thinking.

Establishment conservatives back liberal programs because liberal thinkers control the mass media.
It is not just the news (what Donald Trump calls the “fake news”) that trumpets the straight-up liberal line, it is the entire mammoth entertainment complex, which is just as important. What this does is put constant pressure on the citizenry to think at a certain angle to any problem or situation. Conservatives, imbibing the same mother’s milk of mass media, naturally fall in line with the rest…

No, establishment conservatives back liberal programs because they too are liberals. They act as the Left’s concern trolls.
OK, it’s late in the day, I’m tired, and I checked out your blog. So you’re Canadian, and you look like David Gilmour circa the release of Atom Heart Mother. I find this quote from a recent post: America is a more businesslike, serious place than Canada is. It is more anal, perhaps. In Canada, there is a freer, more fun-loving spirit. Culturally, Americans could stand to learn a thing or two from Canadians’ way of life and being. Yeah, nothing strikes me as more free and fun-loving than Canada.
