Angela Merkel Pivots On Immigration

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* The issue of open borders and immigration is only one of many symptoms of the disease of moral and cultural relativism that threatens the continued existence of Western civilization. I’m not optimistic regarding the outcome. What are the chances for survival of a country or a civilization that religiously believes:

1. There are no differences between men and women. There are also no differences between adults and children (other than the former are usually taller than the latter).

2. There are no differences among religions … especially, Christianity and Islam.

3. All cultures are created equal, just as all people are created equal.

4. Both people and capital should flow freely across what used to be called borders; in short, there are no such things as nations as we used to understand them.

This includes the right of 5.9 billion people living in underdeveloped countries to migrate to developed countries. Once there, it is the obligation of the developed countries to provide social welfare and social services to the immigrants until cultural, religious, language, and literacy and other educational issues can be overcome (reading Arabic characters right-to-left and then trying to learn reading Latin characters left-to-right has proved exceptionally difficult). Other difficulties in dealing with massive Chinese and other Asian immigration have yet to be addressed; that is, how to deal with immigrants who only know tonal-based languages and symbol-based writing systems.

5. In the name of equality, religious freedom, and respect for different cultures, allowances must be made in the developed countries for cultural piccadellos such as polygamy, pedofilia, female circumcisum, and the suppresion of female rights. This includes making allowance for dressing all females older than 5-years of age in black bags with eye slits whenever they are in public. In the name of tolerance, the age-old practice of Hindi women immolating themselves on the funeral pyres of their dead husbands is under review. Honor killings are next in the queue for a sympathetic review.

6. In the name of personal liberty and diversity, there are absolutely no elements of social deviancy in the social and sexual practices of the LGBTS&M … xyz communities. In the interest of justice, they will be treated on par with the myriad immigrant cultures. Indeed, it is the traditional family and its absurd assumptions about restrictive, gender-based social roles that is in need of intervention as anti-social behavior, given how hostile its adherents are toward cultural, religious, social, sexual, and moral diversity.

A Young Gay Trump Supporter Confronts the ‘Politics of Personal Destruction’

Stacy McCain writes: Lucian Wintrich is an artist in New York who lost his job because of his “Twinks for Trump” campaign. (“Twink” is gay slang for an attractive young male.) If you think Democrats are pro-gay, you should know what kind of persecution they inflict on gay Republicans:

Wintrich had his social media accounts shut down, was continuously harassed, and then ultimately fired from his job at one of New York’s largest advertising agencies.

In a stunning exception to its normal partisan cheerleading for Democrats, NBC News did a surprisingly fair story about Wintrich:

 

At the LGBT for Trump event Milo Yiannopoulos hosted during the Republican National Convention, I briefly met Wintrich. Liberals have a habit of assuming all gay people are Democrats, the same way they assume all women, all black people, all Hispanics and all union members are Democrats. However, the Republicans are a party of ideas, and there is nothing about the ideas of economic freedom, national security and social conservatism that puts them off-limits to any group. The common liberal belief that all gay people are necessarily “oppressed” by social conservatism, for example, ignores the kind of a live-and-let–live attitude that most conservatives have toward what used to be euphemistically called “alternative lifestyles.” The Bible-believing Southern Baptist in Oklahoma isn’t interested in using federal authority to “impose his morals” on gay people in New York or San Francisco, but he resents very much the way liberals want to use federal authority to impose their morals on his community in suburban Tulsa. This is how the “Bake Me a Cake” issue arises, with militant gay activists as cultural bullies, and this in turn involves the Compulsory Approval Doctrine:

As a result of Supreme Court decisions . . . homosexuality has now gained the status of a constitutional right, which means that disapproval of [homosexual behavior] is effectively prohibited. This new dispensation, which we might call the Compulsory Approval Doctrine, has the consequence of abolishing religious liberty. “Marriage equality” requires universal recognition of same-sex unions. Woe be unto the baker who, for religious reasons, refuses to provide a cake or the florist who refuses to provide flowers for a gay wedding.

A Berkeley sociologist made some tea party friends — and wrote a condescending book about them

Carlos Lozada writes for the Washington Post:

Review of “Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right” by Arlie Russell Hochschild

Hochschild made 10 trips to southwestern Louisiana from 2011 to 2016, extended forays away from her perch at the University of California at Berkeley, to delve into her “keen interest in how life feels to people on the right — that is, in the emotion that underlies politics. To understand their emotions,” she writes, “I had to imagine myself in their shoes.” She interviewed some 60 people, including 40 professed tea party supporters, visiting their homes, communities and workplaces. It is the same technique Hochschild employed in “The Second Shift” (1989), a well-reviewed look at how couples manage duties at home when both work outside of it. In this case, however, Hochschild arrives with so many preconceived ideas that they undercut the insight she claims to desire.

Hochschild preps for her conservative immersion by reading “Atlas Shrugged,” because we know tea party types are into that. “If Ayn Rand appealed to them, I imagined, they’d probably be pretty selfish, tough, cold people, and I prepared for the worst,” this acclaimed sociologist writes. “But I was thankful to discover many warm, open people who were deeply charitable to those around them.”

When she lands in Louisiana, Hochschild realizes, “I was definitely not in Berkeley, California. . . . No New York Times at the newsstand, almost no organic produce in grocery stores or farmers’ markets, no foreign films in movie houses, few small cars, fewer petite sizes in clothing stores, fewer pedestrians speaking foreign languages into cell phones — indeed, fewer pedestrians. There were fewer yellow Labradors and more pit bulls and bulldogs. Forget bicycle lanes, color-coded recycling bins, or solar panels on roofs. In some cafes, virtually everything on the menu was fried.”

Dear God, no yellow Labs or solar panels? How do you live?

Can A Jew Be A Member Of The Alt-Right?

Sure as much as a gentile can move to the Jewish state and become a full and equal citizen. That’s not easy. Israel is a Jewish state, so non-Jews by definition are second-class citizens.

Orthodox Jews love non-Jews trying to join Orthodox shuls as much as the Alt Right enjoys Jews trying to join the Alt Right.

Orthodox Jews have as much suspicion of gentiles trying to join the tribe as WNs have of Jews trying to join them.

When do groups such as Jews identify as white? When incentives align that way.

Torah makes no room for non-Jewish citizenship in a Jewish state. The Torah of White Nationalism makes no room for Jewish citizenship in a white nationalist state.

Japan is 99% racial Japanese. That might be the model for other nationalist states.

Conversion to Orthodox Judaism rarely works out for either party. People behave more like their genes than their beliefs.

Chaim Amalek writes: “And yet without Jewish guidance, the alt-right is doomed. Just as the USSR would have been doomed without a Leon Trotsky (nee Lev Bronstein) to create it. GOYIM! Amalek the Father sends you his only begotten Son Luke/Levy to guide you in these matters! We understand the inner workings of Hollywood, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, the News Media, Washington, and Facebook in a way that a mere goy never can. Really, the issue of a gentile belonging to an orthodox/hassidic or litvish synagogue can never arise. It would be like a Somali trying to pass himself off as Japanese.”

Comments at Amren.com:

* I’m Jewish and have read the Forward for years. I applaud the Forward — which is very pro-multiculturalism and anti-Western — for being willing to publish this. The OW is shifting, and even the secular Jewish Marxists can feel it.

But it seems to me that while the author is well-meaning and has his head screwed on straight, he dances around the real crux of what it means to be alt-right. It means that you are concerned with the demographic preservation of the European race, and that you believe that Western civilization and its riches belong to the people of Europe. That’s what distinguishes the alt-right from the alt-light. Alt-righters don’t want people of color to assimilate. We want them to stay and succeed in their own countries. Alt-light sites like Breitbart are A-OK with brown people migrating here as long as they “learn our culture” (whatever that means).

* I want to add that Breitbart does incredibly valuable work — it ranks in the mid-200s on Alexa, and reaches tens of millions of people each month. It’s the gateway drug to race realism and the alt-right. Many people won’t be able to swallow race realism described in genetic and biological terms, but can handle attacks on Black Lives Matter, SJW-culture and illegal immigration.

Once you get used to implicitly pro-white thinking like Breitbart, it will be much easier to swallow the explicitly pro-white thinking of Jared Taylor and Richard Spencer.

* The neo-Nazi pro-Hitler corners of the alt-right do a tremendous disservice to the movement and are likely to prevent it from ever going mainstream. For better or worse, the public has a favorable impression of Jews and the Holocaust still has a lot of currency. The movement needs a more nuanced position on where Jews stand in Western society.

You have websites like the Daily Stormer that cheered the death of the great Gene Wilder for no reason other than that he was Jewish. If you think this will ever win over the majority of America’s 200 million whites, dream on. Even 200 years ago, Europeans were not that unthinkingly anti-Semitic.

What’s more, I’m an Orthodox Jew, and Orthodox Jews are mostly not liberal at all. We’re backing Trump by a 3-to-1 margin. As for the “backlash,” Jews aren’t even surviving in these tolerant pluralistic soulless Western countries. Israel could benefit tremendously from the immigration of several million white European Jews — so a bit of anti-Semitism could lead a lot of Jews to move there and help strengthen the state. The window for such immigration is closing fast, since more than half of Diaspora Jews are intermarried, and within two generations they will be absorbed by the general European-American population. I think a little bit of anti-Semitism is necessary for Jews to survive outside of a Jewish country (Israel). What kept Jews together throughout centuries of exile was the brutal reality that we weren’t accepted and had no choice but to stick together.

* For a genuinely compassionate person, there’s always moral principle. Whites are in danger; for some non-white people, that is (for the moment) enough of a reason if their own people aren’t gravely endangered in the process of supporting us.

Jews might be endangered; on the other hand, has any group of people on the planet done more for Jews than whites?

* This guy likes the Alt-right for one reason: He thinks it will eventually benefit Israel, more than the Left does.

The Alt-right exists for one reason: To benefit Europeans.

We don’t need people like Dingleberry and Minsky (who are probably the same person) to twist the flow of support for European people into support for Israel.

We don’t need them to thump their chests over a contrived testing of supposed Ashkenazi intelligence, the legitimacy of the occupation of Palestine, the support of Israel by gullible evangelicals.

The Alt-right is for Europeans. Get your derrieres out, you swindlers.

* Well… partly to cut the author some slack and partly to play Devil’s Advocate… he was writing for Forward. Most of what he wrote aligns fairly well with what ethnic/racial nationalists think, so maybe the usual obsession with Israel was an attempt to coax some of the Jewish readers into softening their views on the Alt-Right – in much the same dynamic by which conventional “conservatism” has peeled many Jews from the Left.

* To the fence sitters, “Alt-Right” comes across as more friendly than “White Nationalist”. It sounds edgy, cool and new. We are mad that non-whites get to use identity politics while whites can’t; that the conservative establishment stabs its voting base in the back at every opportunity and hasn’t conserved anything; that Jewish intellectuals, media figures, lobbyist and financiers played a disproportionate role in many of our national problems. We are mad that they opened our borders and promote multiculturalism while that state of Israel shuts its borders. Even among the more conservative Jews in the American sense who oppose liberal lunacy, they are pro-Zionist and want to spend American blood and treasure defending the Jewish state. Just as Jews during the post WW2 period moved away from the left and co-opted the right (Neoconservatives); Jews know the Alt-Right is going mainstream and will try to make as Jew-friendly as possible. Whites are fighting a two front war: a street-level one against black/brown criminality and dysfunction, and an ideological one. Jewish intellectuals are at the forefront of anti-white ideologies and have much more political influence at the national level than Rev. Al or some other street hustling buffoon.

* Fascinating how they want to join all of our movements. Why not work for the Truth in the many Jewish organizations and then report back to us from time to time? That would be a real contribution. Instead it’s almost as if they want to take over the Alt-Right, much as they did before to Conservatism in decades gone by.

* Europe is sacred to us. Sacred. If we can secure America, Whites will go and fight the Muslim hordes there with their brothers. Now how many Jews will go? Zero. How many would go fight for a threatened Israel? Many. I think you see my point. Super American David Brook’s son is in the military – the Israeli military. Israel is the Brook’s family real country. That’s the proof you see. Now isn’t that the same for you as well?
Jews have thousands of interlocking local, state, national, and international organizations that work on their behalf. How many organizations are you comfortable with Whites having that do the same for them? Zero. You simply refuse to grant us our own existence – and that makes you an enemy. If you were sincere, you would full acknowledge the validity of our mistrust. And if you still wanted to help us for some idealistic reason, you would focus on changing the Jewish mindset by advocacy of one kind or another.

* Iran has not hurt the American people – although it may stand in the way of Jewish interests. Thus Israel and America have different interests. No more wars for Israel. If you want to take on Iran, go for it. Take out their nuclear power plants – if you can. The counter-attack will be terrible. You’d much rather America do this and take the brunt of the counter-attack.
After 9/11, people in Israel reported the feeling of smug satisfaction that suffused the country. Now those stupid Americans know what it’s like and will help us. Your Leaders themselves have said the Jews are a Nation without borders. They’re too discrete to say that anymore, but the attitude remains the same. Without strong counter evidence, I simply assume you hold the same viewpoint – just like David Brooks and his son.
Jews are pro-American only insofar as America serves their interests and the interests of Israel. They would turn on a dime once those interests are no longer being catered to or a better offer comes along as per WW1 Germany and the Balfour agreement.
Also, Russia and Iran are allied and we don’t want to anger Russia. Not only do we not want a WW3, but we want to be allies with this Great Nation and its Heroic Leader, Vladimir Putin. Trump and Putin are the God Brothers, Castor and Pollux reborn. They will usher in the Northern Alliance that Lindbergh called for before you slandered him in your “news” papers and what Yockey called “the Imperium” before he was found suicided in your prison.

Jewish author claims to be part of the alt-right, advocates ‘cultural nationalism’

From Red Ice: The alt-right has gone mainstream.

This isn’t to imply that the masses are all reading Radix Journal and listening to Red Ice, of course. Rather, the recent media frenzy over the alt-right has ensured that even the most politically unconscious are becoming familiar with our movement.

While it can be said that there is no such thing as bad PR, we must keep in mind that the term “alt-right” is in danger of being coopted. The label is appealing to an array of groups with differing interests. As such, we – the “real” alt-right that espouses racial nationalism and unapologetically discusses Jewish subversion – must adamantly oppose those who attempt to derail our movement with notions of civic or cultural nationalism.

A recent article in the Forward (formerly known as the Jewish Daily Forward) bears the rather alarming title “I’m a Jew, and I’m a Member of the Alt-Right.”

In this article, the author, Joshua Seidel, actually raises a number of decent points.

For example, in response to this Tweet by Ricky Vaughn, Mr. Seidel writes:

Is “Ricky” wrong? Does this dynamic indeed exist in our community? Are Jewish people not overrepresented in this great western push for “diversity”? Most Jews would call Ricky anti-Semitic for saying this, while I’d simply call it the truth.

Acknowledging the Jewish double-standard – multiculturalism for thee but not for me – is actually quite significant, especially in an explicitly Jewish publication.

Mr. Seidel also offers a thoughtful observation regarding Jewish condemnation of “white privilege”:

I sometimes wonder what Jews who enthusiastically go on about “white privilege” think the endgame is. They seem to think this concept will serve to shut the mouths of middle and working class whites in flyover country, while liberal Jews hold the clipboards and direct victorious POC in a dismantling of “whiteness.” Privileges will be checked, and all will be well in the world. I don’t see it.

In light of such comments, one might be tempted to believe that the author is an ally to our cause.

That, however, is simply not the case.

On Twitter, Mr. Seidel claimed that no race has an “ultimate claim” on America, and that “cultural nationalism” is the law of the land:

What the author ignores is that that America was clearly intended to be a country for White people. Moreover, America was roughly 90% White until the ill-fated Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. I don’t think America needs to be 100% white, but it does need an overwhelming White majority.

Someone with a Jewish identity will always see the world through a Jewish lens. And in a conflict between his ethnic group and another, he will almost always take his own side. Seeing as how he is not White, he will never explicitly advocate for White interests, and will attempt to pervert the alt-right’s message to suit his own ends.

Therein lies the issue with accepting Jews into the alt-right.
