Working The System

I was talking to a friend the other day and he mentioned this scam he thought would totally take care of his problem.

On the one hand, I admired his take-charge attitude. On the other hand, I understood why the majority does not want minorities in their country who scam the system.

Anglos create high-trust societies (England, Canada, United States, Australia). Non-Anglos then want to move to these prosperous high-trust societies and take advantage. This destroys social capital.

Non-whites don’t realize this, but when they cheat the system in a high-trust country, they’re acting like parasites.

When I encounter people cheating, they’re rarely Anglos. They’re more likely to come from cultures where if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying.

I grew up a WASP (a Seventh-Day Adventist in Australia and then California), and I sometimes saw WASPs cheating, but they rarely boasted about it. They were rarely proud of their prowess at cheating. In many minority groups, such as the Chinese, they seem to take great pride in their ability to rip off outsiders.

If a minority group acts dishonestly, they create more incentives for the majority to either kill them or kick them out.

I’m listening to The Convict Report Episode 39: Greg Johnson Speaks with the Dingoes.

Host: “While the Chinese can’t construct a marketplace on their own, they can take advantage of one we build. They have a semitic disdain for working classes, for farmers, for their military.”

Greg: “The Chinese and Koreans and Japanese (who aren’t an exception to this even though some WNs want to carve out an exception for them) tend to have a shame culture rather than a guilt culture, meaning that they are more concerned with saving face than with their own conscience.

“Even if no one sees us (whites) doing something wrong, we feel bad about it. In shame cultures, if you are caught, that is bad, if you lose face, that is bad, but if you get away with it, they’re comfortable with that.”

“Shame culture and saving face encourages them to behave in ways that would make us feel guilty. Shame culture encourages a culture of lying and fakery. You can’t have a culture of lying and fakery and build a white civilization, which is a high-trust civilization. What has made it possible for a large number of white people to interact and create scaleable institutions because we are highly trustworthy and we have internalized this ethic of guilt and being trustworthy. We tell the truth. We perform our jobs without needing bribes.

“China is a shame culture, which means it is a low-trust society. People lie all the time, especially to people higher up in the social hierarchy. When you have a tiny clique running a society of 1.4 billion, people at the top are often cut off from reality. You can’t run a society if you don’t have accurate information about what is going on. That is why you have these ghost cities in China. People are not communicating accurately to decision-makers. That is why they have a brittle society and they want to come to our society and to our high-trust institutions and fake their way into our institutions.

“In our high-trust societies, we have to exclude free riders, people like Jews and Asians, who will exploit our ethos to rise to positions of wealth and power but they hollow out our society by introducing double-dealing and low-trust behavior patterns.

“There was an Asiana Airlines jet (Korean) which crashed in San Francisco… It turned out that the reason the plane crashed was that the pilot did not know how to land that kind of plane but he did not want to lose face and admit he did not know how to land the plane and the co-pilot didn’t want to lose face by correcting the guy. Now imagine a guy is in the cockpit of a country and they are making decisions like that. You can see it is a brittle society.”

“The Chinese are good at imitating, but as soon as their ethos becomes dominant, things become brittle.”

Host: “People are surprised when they go to asian societies like Vietnam and nothing happens without bribes. These asians want to infiltrate the West… They’ll come to Australia and set up on-seller shops where asians will get a heads up and they’ll go to our supermarkets and bulk buy baby powder and on-sell it to China because they don’t trust the product in China, even when it is labeled as coming from Australia.”

Greg: “You’ll find similar problems in countries like India. There is a description in a V.S. Naipul book about an untouchable washing steps to a temple and after each step is washed, she’ll take the muddy water and throw it on the next step down. She’s not cleaning anything. She’s just going through the motions. We find that mentality baffling.”

“If a person’s role is to make money, then it doesn’t matter if they do it honestly or dishonestly. These asian societies are as dysfunctional as you would imagine.”

“A lot of white nationalists want to carve out huge exceptions for asians because they seem capable of appreciating and carrying forward certain things in our civilization but there are subtle ways that is not going on.”

“The Chinese grand strategy for technology is to copy and steal from the white world. They are self-consciously parasitic on the more innovative white countries. As long as we allow them to steal our secrets, of course they will do this.”

Host: “I am pretty sure we have a Chinese spy in our senate and we can’t do anything about it.”

The Federal Government is intensifying its attacks on Labor frontbencher Sam Dastyari over his acceptance of funds linked to China, calling for him to be dumped from the Opposition frontbench.

Senator Dastyari, who holds the position of Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate, has conceded he should not have asked a company with links to Beijing to cover a personal travel debt of $1,670.

But he has rejected Government claims that his political views on China have been influenced by overseas donations.

Host: “Koreans have a huge amount of circumcision going on because they took their medicine and medical technology from the American doctors who came over.”

Wikipedia:

Virtually no circumcision was performed before the year 1945 as it is against Korea’s long and strong tradition of preserving the body as a gift from parents.[36] A 2001 study of 20-year-old South Korean men found that 78% were circumcised.[37] At the time, the authors commented that “South Korea has possibly the largest absolute number of teenage or adult circumcisions anywhere in the world. Because circumcision started through contact with the American military during the Korean War, South Korea has an unusual history of circumcision.” According to a 2002 study, 86.3% of South Korean males aged 14–29 were circumcised.[38] In 2012, it’s the case of 75.8% of the same age group. Only after 1999 has some information against circumcision become available (at the time of the 2012 study, only 3% of Korean internet sites, using the most popular Korean search engine Naver, are against indiscriminate circumcision and 97% are for).[36] The authors of the study speculate “that the very existence of information about the history of Korean circumcision, its contrary nature relative to a longstanding tradition, its introduction by the US military, etc., has been extremely influential on the decision-making process regarding circumcision.”

Greg: “When the Japanese wanted to modernize, they got a list of the things that Great Britain did, and they copied them. They decided, we don’t know what is essential and what isn’t, so we will copy everything. They wanted to have a Navy and went to the British naval academy and copied everything. It was like the 1999 movie Galaxy Quest.”

Host: “Normies only get negative [Australian] media coverage of Trump.”

What Have Conservatives Conserved?

Will Hillary Drop Out?

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Hillary cannot drop out and be replaced easily. Each state has its own laws for getting on the ballot and it is too late for Tim Kaine to take her place in most states. I am not going to look at each states laws on this but it must be too late today or within two weeks.
Thus Hillary must win and make it to inauguration day.
An alt reading on this is perhaps Hillary just has to win the election. Then if she becomes disabled Tim Kaine/Democrat party/media pressure can force the Electoral College to vote in VP Tim Kaine as President.

* The Clintons are one gang I would not mess with. Both are full on sociopaths with immense pull in the establishment. They are in fact the face of the establishment and Deep State.

You don’t screw with them. Even if you’re a Congressmen. Michelle Bachman made the mistake of raising questions about Huma Abedin(Hillary’s lesbian lover), The Senate GOP’ers – McCain and McConnell destroyed her political career for it.

Imagine what they’d do to some IT peon. Jail time and their family made homeless at the very least.

Even at the best of times, calling attention to criminal activity within the government by Federal employees or contractors is a career killer. There is no real protections if you point out problems.

Remember Nidal Hassan? A bunch of senior officers knew he was full tilt insane and ready to kill people. They knew if they reported him to his superiors or the FBI their careers would be over with.

* I realize of course that Hillary’s now a bit ahead in the polls, but I seriously wonder if she isn’t going to have a health melt down before Nov 8 rolls around.

In at least two recent appearances, including the now infamous “basket of deplorables” event, she looked so obviously drugged up or ill that I just don’t see how she can project an image of being up to the job physically.

It may be that she’s as drugged up as she is to keep the coughing at bay. But even if that’s the explanation, if it requires medication load that high to suppress the coughing, and the effects of the medication can’t be counteracted by other drugs, then she’s got some real health issue. A genuinely healthy person would quickly find some balance in medications that would work.

Unlike earlier, she needs now to keep in the public eye to fend off the criticisms that she was low energy, and/or in poor health, and/or hiding from the public. Her frequent public appearances are all the more urgent because she’s falling in the polls. But the more she appears in public, the more of a toll it takes on her, the more obvious are her problems, and, in consequence, the more she has to demonstrate her “health”. It’s a vicious cycle. I don’t see how she keeps it up for the final two months.

The media will be “with her” every way it can, of course.

But I don’t see all the King’s Horses and all the King’s Men putting Hillary back together again.

* All through June & July I was reliably informed by ensconced Nevertrump dork columnists that DJT wasn’t going to stick in the race; that as soon as he hit minus-10 (or whatever– the precise # varied) he’d just bug out and suspend efforts, resort to whining, etc.; that yes, verily he might even drop out* at the end of the summer when It Was Too Late, thus “finally screwing over all Republicans for all time.” Some of them were even saying this as late as the I’m-with-you-themed convention speech, or the week after. Whatever happens in November it would seem the dire landslide scenario predicted by conservative experts is not taking shape. Defying the Beltway ghetto cons turns out to be a good move– you do have to put up with the tantrums of course but at least you don’t get their schmutz all over you.

* My wife and I have agreed that we will not reveal to any pollster our choice (Trump) because it is impossible to know who we’re talking to. In our area, support for Trump could be risky to our livelihoods. It would make things unpleasant for her at work, and I would lose business.

Yes, we’re college-educated white people, the kind of Americans for whom openly supporting what is right and true is now a hazard.

We’re in the “basket of deplorables.”

We share our thoughts on the election vigorously with people we know who have no connection to our livelihoods. I talk to a lot of people. We have both quietly discovered other Trump voters just like us. It’s like being in the closet or something. We’ve developed “Trump radar” or “Trumpdar” to identify likely companions.

When Did The Right Wing Love For Julian Assange Start?

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* When he started mass-leaking DNC e-mails. Being persecuted by the left-wing Swedish government for “raping” a woman who let him sleep over the next few days and went out to parties with him afterward helped too.

* Basket of deplorables is a very odd phrase, and one suspects it must have been fed to her by one of her speechwriters.

It is unusual to see deplorable used as a noun, but there might be some correlation with Les Miserables and in fact the word déplorable is probably more common in French than in English. In Spanish it translates as canasta de deplorables, but I have never heard the expression used in Spanish. However, one gets the feeling that this must be a translation from another language.

Why Isn’t Hillary Winning Big?

csa7sndvuaadfcc

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Trump and Clinton are merely figureheads for identity politics. Who they are or what they’ve done is actually not that important.

* Over the last year or so of following the US election I’ve often pictured the Establishment as the characters in an action film who insist their bank vault, fortress or system of defences are impregnable. “These walls are six feet of reinforced concrete. It would take a celebrity billionaire with his own broadcasting system to get through them!” and then along comes Trump and Twitter.

* Hillary has a pattern of doing things that are not in the national interest, and very good for her own self-interest, and there’s no way to disguise that.

These particular acts of hers threaten the national and personal security of all Americans:

1) Not caring that her emails are secure against foreign spying.
2) Benghazi. She’s very slow to recognize miltiary and terrorist threats, and then goes into denial and tries to blames someone or something else for the assault.
3) Wants to let in millions of foreigners who view whites, white culture, and white relition as The Enemy.
4) Is soft on crime, and she blames police for policing instead of criminals for committing crimes.

As for her own self-interest:

1) Pay to play money via the Clinton foundation.
2) Years spend racking up expensive speech fees.
3) Lusting after the presidency so hard the even though she’s elderly and ill, she’ll make her aides drag her corpse over the finish line if she has to.
4) You can even add in her cattle futures trade long ago, as the beginning of her unhealthy obsession with making cash in a dubious fashion.

During Bill’s administration, Hillary did not come across as especially greedy for money, and that was a trait that marked her as different from her greedy brothers, Tony and Hugh, who both got into trouble for taking money to arrange favors, and her greedy father, Hugh senior the businessman. Well, it turns out Hillary was just a chip off the old block, and was every bit as and venal and unethical about it as the rest of her family. She just delayed her money grab until she thought it was safe.

* I always thought that the Blythe political machine was overrated at the task of winning office. Bill won twice with a third party candidate sucking up 19% and 8.4% of the vote in 1992 and 1996 respectively, and really putting Bush in a political doublebind in 1992 with an assist from a fawning press corps. And that was with the alleged charismatic Bill making headway for the Baby Boomers in their push to take the mantle of National leadership. Hillary was always an unlikable harridan with a perpetual sourpuss look on her face, typified by her condescending “bake cookies” comment in 1992. The true power of the Clinton machine should be all of the favors exchanged over a few decades, but even that was outdone by a neophyte on the national stage in 2008.

At the end of the analysis, Hillary is a peerlessly unlikable character and a poor candidate. Someone in the media whom I cannot recall had a real insight when she said that Hillary becomes much more unlikable when she seeks power. There’s just something in her aspect that telegraphs that she’ll abuse whatever power she acquires, and this gets reinforced by actual events (such as the server/email issue).

* I’m finding Hillary’s remarks ever more mysterious.

It seems she knew that the “deplorable” event was being covered by reporters, and there is a video of it. It may be that the remarks were prepared, though I find that hard to believe — even her god awful campaign staff can’t be that clueless.

And if you see her on video, you just have to be struck by her somnolent, seemingly stoned delivery.

She even moves her lips thirstily like someone on potent drugs.

What the hell is wrong with this woman?

At this point in the campaign, she seems like she’s having some kind of health related meltdown.

She’s what? 68? Whatever this condition is, it’s not going to get better — that we know — it’s only going to get considerably worse. It may be that there’s no “smoking gun” of a particular disease in her case, but how does one attribute this sort of behavior to anything less than some kind of general decline?

One senses that her remarks came out because she just didn’t have the energy to keep her usual filter up.

* Obama’s legacy will be destroyed if Trump wins. Absolute humiliation for him.

* Coalition of the Fringes / Democratic Partisans Message to Trumpkins:

“Shut up.
Stand up and move to the back of the bus for you.
Empty your wallets and pay for all the new passengers who just boarded”

* The single most disgusting thing Hillary said was that these “deplorables” were “irredeemable”.

Who, with an ounce of charity or understanding in her system, would presume to denounce, publicly, such a huge swath of the American people as “irredeemable”?

* Having made some cash betting on Trump winning the primary, I started buying GOP wins Gen Election* shares on predict it when he was at 28, bought more as he fell to 22 after the convention. He is now at 28/29.

(*You can also buy Trump win, but for the unpleasant reasons I do not want to explicate, I think GOP win is a safer).

I think that is about right to a slight underestimate, 538 also has him around 30%. This isn’t Silver’s stupid guess, but his model that weights polls by age, past accuracy, and deviation from other polls and assumes regression to mean of wide leads. He offers two other models called “NowCast” and “PollsOnly” also around 30%.

There are at least five big new unknown factors here that make polls less useful than 2012, 2008, 2004, etc. First, Trump is the least and Hillary is the second least popular presidential nominees in all of polling. What effect on turnout that will have is unknown.

Second, we do not know to what extent people are afraid to say they are voting Trump because it is stigmatized. Brexit was also stigmatized, and the poll averages had it losing by 2 when it won by 4. That 6 point gap should give Trump some hope. However, polls in England have a very long and consistent history of underestimating the right. That is not the case in the United States.

Third, Trump has rejiggered which states are true swings and which are not by performing worse than normal with hispanics and rich whites and better than normal with poor and middle class whites. This is going to be the first election in which Iowa and Michigan votes more Republican than Virginia for example. Indeed, it looks like Iowa may even vote more Trump than North Carolina and be the first modern election where Pennsylvania will vote more Republican than Colorado.

As Steve has noted, this is to Trump’s advantage as Romney lost a large number of white-heavy midwestern states by less than 5%. Trump could do a little better than Romney there, a lot worse elsewhere, lose the popular vote by as much as 1.5%, and still win the election.

Fourth, polling has never shown the Don’t Know/Third Parties bucket so high before, usually above 20%.

Fifth, we have never had a Republican candidate not run a normal ground operation. I’ve long thought Trump was crazy for not doing this. I guess Kellyanne Conway agrees, as she is rushing to set one up. But a proper ground game takes more than 6 weeks to set up. It is obsessed with, 4+ months away from the election at recruiting volunteers and IDing weak supporters and partisans who vote irregularly. Then, closer to the election, sending campaign field staff and volunteers to talk to them in person and on the phone. Finally, it gets them to actually show up.

Throw all of these together, you might take the poll average, add 2 points for Shy Tory effect, add 2 more because third party support is always overstated in polls and Johnson is doing better than Stein, subtract 3 points because Trump lacks a ground game, add 1 point for the Trump electoral college advantage, and I think Trump will likely win if he is polling 2 points behind Hillary or better.

* The most effective cough suppressants (antitussives) are all CNS depressants. They are either opioids like codeine or disassociatives like dextromethorphan.

Used rarely and as directed, for most people the effective dose for cough suppression should not make them feel intoxicated. There are many examples, such as Rush L. and a billion doctors, of people being highly functional while high on opioids. However, if she is taking them every time she’s on camera, or taking extra large doses “to be safe,” and on top of the stress and pressure of the campaign, that could be enough. Also, people all react differently to psychoactive medication.

Dextromethorphan is the most common antitussive ingredient in OTC cough and cold medication. Unlike opioids, it presents low risk of addiction, though it is often abused by teenagers. The mental effects of DXM, however, are more often present at effective antitussive doses, and is most similar to alcohol.

* Campaigns are like big ships, they are hard to change direction.

Two years ago, the Obama strategy (100% blacks, add some hispanics and then a little white on top) was a winning presidential strategy.

(It never worked very well in Congressional/state and local elections).

Turns out that riling up the blacks to get to 99% vote share really ticks off a lot of other people.

Throw in the economy (I don’t want to go into details, but it isn’t where a lot of people would like) and you’ve got a close election.

The real mystery is why even encourage BLM. Just have Michelle+barack hit the train in 2016 summer, targeting black communities. Maybe they will this fall. They just don’t seem — as they have not since 2008 — that they worry about anyone’s election except their own.

* Black self-censorship truly is crazy. It wasn’t always so, though. A hundred and twenty years ago there were plenty of black folks who openly said the Negro race had a long way to go and a lot of race work — civilizational work –to do.

Both Booker T Washington and WEB Dubois were quite blunt about it. Their racial self-criticism was so strong that quoting them nowadays will get you fired (if you are white, anyway).

Back then Negro’s took it seriously. Hell, Negros would lynch fellow Negros for trifling with little black girls, beating their wives, etc. And there were fewer black bastards than there are white bastards now.

Something happened in the last 50-75 years. Somehow it all became the white man’s fault (and his responsibility to fix).

* If their Black tribal loyalty exceeds their civic virtue, they are not our friends and deserve nothing from us.
