James Lindsay is pro-multiracialism and believes that multiculturalism is bad because it prevents racial intermixing.
He believes that "the races can get alone fine" and that any disagreement is caused by the Far-Left trying to "start a race war"
His entire worldview is just Globalism circa 2015, pre-transgenderism but post-gay marriage.

Article: Is "Wokeness" just Communism? - Responding to Paul Gottfried
Paul Gottfried recently published a bad article arguing that "wokeness" is "not real Communism." I deboonked his arguments here.
Bottom line: If Karl "abolish all traditional culture" Marx were alive today, he would be waving an LBGT flag and chanting "Black Lives Matter."

Is “Wokeness” just Communism? – Responding to Paul Gottfried
TL;DR: Yes, wokeness is just Communism.
Dumbest quote from Gottfried's article by far:
"Communism in Europe, at least in practice, never showed the frenzied nihilistic energy that seems endemic to the woke left. From tearing down statues to abolishing genders to inciting mob violence against white Americans to throwing open borders for invasion by Third World migrants, the woke left seems far more socially and culturally destructive than most past Communist governments."

Elon Musk accuses the BBC of covering up Covid vaccine injuries
"Does the BBC hold itself at all responsible for misinformation regarding masking and side effects of vaccinations, and not reporting on that at all? What about the fact that the BBC was put under pressure by the British government to change the editorial policy?"
He also accuses the unlikable reporter of being a liar, for his "hate speech" narrative. This reporter goes through life with everyone he meets wanting to punch him in the face, you can just tell.
In a report broadcast later on BBC News, neither of these two segments were shown.

TGO ran a poll on whether the PIE speakers should be called Aryan or IE and the responses reveal how confused most people are about why the shift happened.
Early on in IE studies there was an erroneous belief that Sanskrit was the most archaic of all IE languages and that it therefore represented an early break from PIE. But this was corrected in the 19th c. when people pointed out that is just because Vedic Sanskrit, as a liturgical language, is preserved in the Bronze age form. Hindi is actually less conservative than Icelandic or Lithuanian and the ancestors of those languages at the time the Rigveda was composed were most likely more archaic than Vedic. Now everyone knows Proto-Indo-Iranic (PII) is not an early break-off from PIE at all but emerged about 1000 years AFTER PIE was spoken.
But because we know the speakers of PII referred to themselves as Aryans, there emerged a trend among academics early on to conflate PIE and PII and refer to the speakers of both as Aryans. J. G. Rhode in 1820 posited the theory that the Aryans came from Central Asia (which was correct) but this meant, due to contemporary assumptions, that people also thought PIE was from Central Asia, and this erroneous belief persisted among academics for some 50 years and among less learned folks for far longer. Many Indo-Europeanists; Grimm, Muller, Pott, Lassen, Schleicher believed PIE came from Asia until the tide changed when Dr Latham in 1851 posited that PIE came from Europe. Subsequent scholarship has vindicated Latham but it has taken a long time to prove that Ukraine is the real homeland of PIE.
Once we learned that PIE was European, the Asiatic term Aryan became inappropriate to describe them. The Nazis used it, but Nazis also believed in silly Asian origin ideas that were already disproven in their time. “Aryan” was still used by scholars such as Issac Taylor to refer to PIE people as recently as 1892 in his book ‘Origin of the Aryans’, although he begins the book with an entire chapter on ‘the Aryan controversy’ where he explains why the term Aryan is no longer appropriate to refer to PIE.
The PII (Sintashta and Andronovo cultures) called themselves Aryans and are an important historic culture which it is useful to refer to with this word. Calling their ancestors in Europe from 1000 years earlier, by a PII word, even if it has a PIE origin, is like calling Bell Beakers “Romans” or calling the British “Americans”.
This isn’t about political correctness or the Nazis, this is about using a word that makes sense. When you say ‘Aryan’, you not only look like a Neo-Nazi, you also look like you don’t understand the field of IE studies at all. Very, very bad idea to promote this.

Popular Leftist myth:
Postwar decolonization was due to plucky brown Socialist rebels overthrowing their colonial overlords and sticking it to the evil White man. Western powers fought hard to defend their colonies because they were terrified by the combined might of Socialism and people of color.
Reality:
"Western powers" (now in the hands of globalists and libtards) supported non-White Socialist revolutionaries against their White governments in almost every anti-colonial revolutionary war, alongside the USSR and Communist China in many cases. Colonial governments didn't lose a single war but were forced to decolonize by combined economic warfare and political pressure from both Western and Communist powers. Some voluntarily decolonized to avoid war.

Fascinating conversation from a mere 50 years ago. It’s almost unbelievable how far the window of acceptable discourse has shifted in just half a century— not only the candor and wisdom displayed by the SA prime minister re: race relations, but even just the level of vocabulary and conceptual nuance employed by both speakers.
Buckley (a CIA stooge) was obviously more on board in promoting a nascent leftoid globalist message… but the SA prime minister, Vorster, had a lot of interesting things to say about the history of the region and the reasoning behind apartheid that today would be utterly unthinkable, and yet, his astute observations about racial “friction” in genera as he called it, and the (communist-backed) media’s success in inciting racial animosity against whites have been proven without doubt today

Exposure to Immigrants Does NOT Reduce Disgust Sensitivity or Opposition to Immigration
Individuals who are higher in disgust sensitivity, thus more motivated to avoid pathogenic infection, tend to be more opposed to immigrants. This is due to the fact that infectious disease is largest killer of humans historically and that the migration of foreign populations is a vector for foreign infections.
Importantly, this study shows exposure to immigrants does not reduce this opposition. (Full Study)

Did you know that……
Your Y DNA/Y chromosome is 99% the same as the Y chromosome that your x15 grandfather carried back in the 1500s?
There was someone in the 1500s who had a chromosome in his DNA that was near identical to yours.
This is because of how Y DNA is inherited. Fathers pass down exact copies of their Y chromosomes to their sons. This is done over successive generations with little change.
Y DNA is like a BADGE that passed down generation after generation.
It is a badge in the same way a surname is. Your surname is identical to the surname your great x10 grandfather carried in the 1700s. Surnames are passed down the exact same way as Y DNA is.

At the current rate of IQ decline, in 150 years Whites will be as smart as current Hispanics/Arabs.
At the current rate of mass migration, in a few decades BIPOCs whose IQs are equal to or lower than current Hispanics/Arabs will make up 50% of the population of the West.
The former is definitely a problem and will eventually cause civilization-scale collapse, but the latter will cause collapse before White IQ even gets close to 85.
