"The key word to brood about is 'specialization.' Specialization means specialists, experts, who say they should run the show because they know more than the non-experts. How often is the expression 'experts say' the entirety of an argument given for some manifestly stupid, outrageous declaration of 'truth' in the pages of a national opinion-shaping rag like the NYT?"

"As Glenn Greenwald explains, Western governments are using the rising threat of 'white supremacist terror' to justify using the combined legal precedents (pretenses for suspending habeas corpus, for example) and the enormous counterterror apparatuses first established to wage the war on Islamic terror in the early 2000s to persecute domestic dissidents, in conjunction with the big tech oligarch’s aggressive censorship campaigns."

"None of this would be possible without a third power, an outsider who is above their conflicts and benevolently disposed toward them. This was the legitimating ideology of the Persian empire; hence Cyrus became known as the 'prince of peace.' Lawrence plays the same role in brokering peace between the tribes. It is, of course, but a small step from hero to emperor. Contrary to the principle of national self-determination, sometimes only an outsider will do."

"The factory boss doesn’t care if the laborer pushing buttons on an assembly line quits and seeks employment with his competitor, so the laborer will be valued chiefly for his ability to push buttons. The engineer, however, knows the ins and outs of the product. The personnel manager could uproot the whole team with him and the bossman’s secretary, who knows that he de-stresses by dressing up as a woman when no one’s looking (this one might be getting dated). These people will be valued for their loyalty — and their loyalty will be richly rewarded. "

"Anti-anti-whiteness as illustrated by Christopher Rufo and the other Republican commentators and legislators who are beginning to feel comfortable embracing it is doomed to fail. 'Critical race theory' is nothing but a thin pseudo-academic veneer upon the unfathomable and inextirpable reservoir of hatred that the other races have for whites; fighting critical theory leaves that reservoir unscathed."

"Classical conservatism was completely against foreign interventionism. Whatever the modern GOP has morphed into has nothing to do with classical conservatism or liberty. Instead, it’s this giant rainbow-colored tumor strapped with nuclear missiles. How do these flag-waving, warmongering 'conservatives' justify the post-9/11 wars that continue to cost American taxpayers over $32 million per hour?"

"To an internationalist, the loss of one million younger citizens could conceivably be dismissed as no loss at all, for the unemployed emigrants would still wind up working somewhere else in the global economy for the benefit of all mankind. A neoliberal internationalist might even welcome this channeling of supposedly surplus labor to more efficient economies."

"By the end of The American Farmer in the Eighteenth Century, we realize that we are reading a crucial and overlooked history of white people. More than anything, it was the genius, effort, and suffering of the American farmer which propelled Western civilization across North America and hewed a great nation out of wild, unbroken terrain."

"Intersectional catfights are enjoyable primarily for the fact that they present a glimmer of hope that this anti-white coalition is unsustainable, will inevitably crumble, and maybe one day we can all go back to watching baseball and eating apple pie."

"The first part of day-to-day managing is dealing with difficult people. Renée Evenson has written a book about just such a thing. Before getting too deep into Evenson’s ideas. . . Check yourself to see if you are the difficult person."

"Calling out the former German chancellor for overstretching a context sounds rather like nit-picking, but nonetheless, we should defer to Wilhelm Reich’s considerable personal expertise about incest."

"Ollie Robinson had the world of cricket at his feet. After a brilliant debut test match against New Zealand, Robinson looked a star in the ascendant, performing superbly against a strong Kiwi side. Someone else going great guns was the spectator who ran through Robinson’s social media activity over the last decade."

"White identity politics is only permissible when weaponized to undermine white nations, never when it preserves and promotes them. We need to reject this fake moral absolute."

"The decision to retain a distinctive culture cultivates contempt for Jews in Western civilization. Although Jews are a permanent fixture in the West, to many, they have remained strangers. Essentially, Cofnas is yet to undercut MacDonald’s argument that 'Jews are particularly ethnocentric' because he refused to delineate the contours of ethnocentrism. Judging by the evidence presented, Jews are exceptionally high in positive ethnocentrism in that they express deep pride in Jewish identity. Consequently, Jews may not directly express outright hostility to foreign cultures, but their high level of positive ethnocentrism suggests an unwillingness to confer equal value to foreign cultures."

"For one, it’s said that the air war was the only part of WWI where individualism still mattered. Surviving the trenches often came down to blind luck. You could be the biggest badass in the world, but if you were standing at the wrong place when an artillery shell came down, all your training, skill, and morale would count for nothing, which seems incredibly unjust."

"But even for a production of its time, the film is remarkably illustrative. It sends the message to white males, such as François Pignon, that the only way to redeem yourself is to embrace one of those fun, colorful LGBT identities. Otherwise, you’re just a nobody."

I first learned that my Twitter account was suspended on GAB. That really says it all, doesn't it?
