"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."

"Film noir is about sin, the wages of sin, and occasionally, it’s about light and shade and spaces in between. I don’t 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 don’t think you have to be a Christian to understand what he means by that, but you do have to be a gentile."

"We can now see that Kant’s theoretical philosophy . . . and his moral philosophy converge, and that they move toward a genuinely radical new position. And this position is once more an explicit expression of a basic trend that had always been latent in modernity itself, a trend in the modern Zeitgeist: the conviction that what is is nothing more than material to be transformed according to the subject’s ideas and intentions. Further, this trend is now underwritten by Kant’s moral idealism: we have a duty to transform what is according to our vision of what ought to be."

"Conservatives were thrilled with the bishops’ proposal and felt it was necessary to induce politicians to follow church teaching. But the intense backlash doesn’t appear to show it changing political behavior. Moreover, the flock may be more inclined to side with Biden."

"Perhaps the saddest aspect of London’s observations is the way in which the poor will still cheer and weep at the pomp and pageantry of those partly responsible for their plight. London’s visit to his namesake city coincided with the coronation, on August 9, 1902, of King Edward VII, and London viewed the procession of the new monarch and his Queen, Alexandra. The chapter is one of the most powerful in the book, and shows both London’s skills as a journalist, and the fathomless sadness of celebration among those Abyss-dwellers who require something to celebrate, as they have nothing else."

"The delicious irony is that this atheist hater of any and all things religious, who devoted his life to serving the impersonal laws of history, was engorged with chemicals that turned him into an eternal, very personal object of religious veneration."

"Beyond that, American Choctaw Indians held black slaves into 1866, meaning the proper name for the holiday should be 'Chocteenth' and that the Injuns should bear at least a smidgen of the never-ending guilt burden."

"Carl Laemmle, a German-born Jew and head of Universal Pictures, stepped in to see if he could rectify the matter. In negotiations with the German government, Laemmle asked what he could do to get All Quiet on the Western Front back on the screens. The Germans demanded eight cuts which they considered inflammatory or offensive to German sensibilities. But here’s the twist: they wanted those cuts to be made in all versions of the movie in every country where it was playing, not just the German version (which was already edited). Universal agreed, and by September of 1931, All Quiet on the Western Front was back on German screens again in a heavily edited form."

"From what I’ve seen, the focus is on the theory itself, claiming that its pernicious anti-whitism creates racial resentments. This isn’t true. The reality is that the anti-white resentment predates the theory, and is the result of inequality between whites and nonwhites, which inequality isn’t so much 'systemic' as is genetic."

Spencer Quinn's article "The Genocide Mindset" has been sprung from the paywall. https://counter-currents.com/2021/05/the-genocide-mindset/

"Still, what a topic! Blacks and Jews sometimes go together like a pumpernickel bagel with cream cheese schmeered on top. When they don’t, well, turbulence happens. Since the 1960s, blacks began realizing they’d been used as pawns in a broader ethnic conflict. Lately, they tend to be unimpressed with claims to Jewish exceptionalism, exaggerated wartime propaganda, duplicitously switching self-identification from white to non-white as it benefits them, among other peculiar habits."

"But then I stumbled upon the factoid that Joseph Goebbels allowed The House of Rothschild to be shown in Nazi Germany with only minor edits, and that got me curious."

"I have more faith in black Americans than many things I say would lead you to believe. This faith extends to the sincere wish that most black Americans are as repelled by this fake-ass white bitch as I am. Perhaps an interracial coalition of hating Robin DiAngelo and every white person like her is this sagging nation’s only hope."
