"No one today accused of racism can prove the accusation to be false. This means that the accuser cannot be held accountable, and because of this, as long as the threat of being accused of racism is widely and commonly resisted and feared, the Left will use it with increasing recklessness and indifference to whatever damage it does."

It might be helpful to consider the notion of βperformative utterancesβ (hereafter, performatives) as developed by J. L. Austin, a British language philosopher.
"Similarly, in the world of business, we note the predominance of the acquisitive instinct, the desire for more. The 19th and 20th centuries featured company amalgamations, corporations, cartels, and the ascendancy of financial oligarchies. A person in possession of one billion dollars might very well be content to enjoy a secure and stable existence. Nevertheless, the 2,200 billionaires of the world continue to increase their holdings at a relentless pace."

Greg Johnson on "The State of the Movement" :
Three readers have asked me to comment on the current state of βthe movement.β As Counter-Currents enters our twelfth year, I think it is an appropriate time for such a discussion. In fact, Iβll make it an annual tradition, since I intend to be around for many years to come.
All three readers think the movement is in a malaise. I want to argue that this is not the case. The Biden administration is dangerous, but it is also a golden opportunity for white identity politics. It is an opportunity in part because it is dangerous.

"At the same time, carefully cultivated hatred for people of the Caucasian persuasion is often expressed, more often verbally than kinetically, by individuals who, though in no danger whatsoever of being mistaken for Lithuanians or Faroese, might well be described as 'nearly white.'"

As far as I know, the blackest people in the world, the Dinka of Sudan, harbor little, if any, systematic dislike for people of unmistakably European descent.
"Gatien, in a kind of transcendental deduction, realized that if the audience was now the show, then the show itself has its own show: 'Even though no one readily admits it, the mundane reason anyone comes out to a club is for people-watching.'β

"Yet Garland wants us to focus on January 6, while remaining curiously reticent about the unpunished and unidentified murderer of Ashli Babbitt and the persistent rumors and evidence that many of the protestors were either let into the Capitol by police or were FBI plants to begin with. Have you noticed how Garlandβs precious FBI is so loath to investigate that?"

"For example, take a gander at 35-year-old Nashea Brown. She stands accused of terrorizing a Walmart in Knoxville, Tennessee by taking off her clothes, defecating on herself, and wielding an ax at others. The news report states she 'was found in the sporting goods section with an ax and a knife tucked into her bra,' and I think thereβs a participle dangling somewhere there along with her presumably dangling chocolatey teats β unless this miracle woman is capable of tucking an ax into her bra."

"Orwell knew that many people in England would enthusiastically crush private life there too. In his wonderful little essay 'Some Thoughts on the Common Toad' (1946), he pointed out one of the great truths of existence: 'a toad has about the most beautiful eye of any living creature.' But he also said that 'I know by experience that a favourable reference to "Nature" in one of my articles is liable to bring me abusive letters.'"

"And the academy wanted it to be very clear to students that when they went home for winter break and mom was going to a BLM protest or dad was announcing his transition, that was not the moment for the Olympian gaze."

Leftists in the United Kingdom, eager to get in on the outrage that followed the drug overdose of George Floyd, complained that David Hume was a racist.
"Though the paper remains influential, critics have misinterpreted the findings. The argument is that Europeans established extractive institutions in regions where the environment was inhospitable to long-term settlement to reap short-term gains. Although the authors are not incorrect, their conclusion more broadly confirms the resource course. Economic literature suggests that an abundance of resources fails to stimulate innovation. Resource-rich countries are afforded several options to make money, so they are not pressured to innovate, hence marketing their assets could be a cheaper alternative."

The Legacy of Western Colonialism
We are yet to understand the exasperation of the anti-colonialism movement. Frequently, activists denounce colonialism without giving just cause.
"Film noir is about sin, the wages of sin, and occasionally, itβs about light and shade and spaces in between. I donβt think Jews really grasp the concept of sin. Sin is not mere degeneracy or hedonism. Sin is consciously choosing what one knows to be evil. In Farewell, My Lovely, Phillip Marlow says he likes 'smooth shiny girls, hardboiled and loaded with sin.' I donβt think you have to be a Christian to understand what he means by that, but you do have to be a gentile."
