Hubert Collins' Girls on Film: The Predominance of Pornography, now in Arabic. https://counter-currents.com/2021/12/girls-on-film-the-predominance-of-pornography-in-arabic/

The idea of the "consensus gentium" (consensus of peoples) is that if widely different peoples apply their minds to the same problem and come up with the same conclusion, that conclusion is probably true. In a world in which there are distinct nations and competing geopolitical blocs, the best explanation for the fact that COVID policies are basically the same in the West, Russia, Iran, Syria, Israel, China, etc. is that (1) COVID is real, (2) COVID is a serious threat, & (3) vaccines and isolation measures (including lockdowns) are effective counter-measures.

In a world in which there are distinct nations and competing geopolitical blocs, and in which COVID is a real and serious threat that can be contained by harsh public health measures, one explanation for widespread COVID denialism and resistance to harsh public health measures in the West is that the West's geopolitical rivals are promoting such ideas to harm it. Thus it should come as no surprise that COVID denialism and resistance to public health measures are widespread on the far Right, in many cases promoted by the very same people who lionize Putin and China (e.g. Anglin). If COVID were not real, our geopolitical rivals would gain advantage by not imposing harsh public health measures on themselves but instead by promoting such measures in the West.

My hypothesis is that COVID denialism and resistance to public health measures in our circles is at least in part a psyop promoted by non-Western geopolitical rivals (Russia, China, Iran). If I were in their shoes, I would do the same thing. The other main sources of COVID denialism and resistance to public health measures in our circles are (merited) distrust in the system, numerous and energetic paranoids and cranks, and residual classical liberal individualism. All of these factors, of course, make it easy for the West's enemies to gaslight and agitate our people.

I oppose this psyop not because I identify with the Western power structure (hardly). I oppose it because (1) it damages our intellectual credibility to promote false and kooky narratives, (2) it damages our moral credibility to be moaning about burgers and pints, or promoting Social Darwinism, or repeating classical liberal talking points about bodily autonomy, individual rights, free choice, and the threat of totalitarianism during a public health crisis, (3) it divides our movement along sectarian lines, and (4) it distracts our movement from the most important thing: resisting white genocide.

I have not written about COVID since early 2020, precisely because I do not want to exacerbate sectarian divisions in the movement. Also, I have better things to do with my time. I was hoping COVID gaslighting would just go away with COVID. Sadly, the COVID meme plague is just as hardy and virulent as COVID itself. I decided to say something when Millennial Woes platformed twice during Millenniyule a woman who argued that we need to stop focusing on resisting the great replacement and instead focus on COVID.

We all recognize biological cuckoldry, for instance when whites adopt black children. The COVID conspiracy psyop is now openly a form of ideological cuckoldry, demanding that the movement for white survival downplay white survival and devote its resources to promoting gaslighting about COVID.

This sort of ideological cuckoldry is nothing new. Holocaust revisionists, MGTOWs, Catholics, pagans, and Putin jock-sniffers have been doing the same thing for years now. Thus we will always have to be vigilant and remind people that nothing is more important than the movement for white survival.

Those who try to cuckold the movement with their sectarian pet projects need to be firmly and politely rebuffed. If their hearts are in the right place, we should be able to point their minds in the same direction.
