Tonight's Strike and Mike will be a livestream with me, @Eric_StrikerDS and @lukeford. We'll be talking about the JQ and the recent Cofnas critique of @TOOEdit's CoC. We'll critique the critique of the critique of the critique. Trust me it makes sense.

Hi, I doubt you’ll read this, and this isn’t something that I normally do. I just wanted you too know that I found you two nights ago because of the Mike Enoch interview and although I’m complicated intellectually I do enjoy a lot of alt-right media and have been sucked a little bit down their time rabbit-hole. I was a fan early on and I had I’ll say that it’s been a bit depressing to see them go down the “everything’s caused by Jews” path. You are the first person who I really think challenged some of my current ideas. Than today you interview my favorite person Jim Goad. You have an absolutely amazing ability to let people talk and guide the conversation while still having a unique mystique about who you are. It’s incredibly interesting. Again, this is out of character for me, but I just wanted you to know how impressed I am by you. I hope this is just the beginning.
Thanks, and I’ll support you in any way I can In your future endeavors.
Kevin MacDonald joined me on my Youtube channel Tuesday night (Nathan Cofnas enters an hour after Kevin leaves and here is Nathan’s rebuttal to Kevin’s rebuttal) and Richard Spencer joins me at 5pm Wednesday (CA time).
Nathan Cofnas responds (Quillette): “Just read it. Pretty much what I expected. He repeats his arguments in more or less the same style, doesn’t address my arguments head on and in some key cases just ignores them. Probably I will publish an annotated version of the PDF.”
“I think his theory is like feminism. No matter what happens feminists can explain it in terms of the “patriarchy.” Women make less money than men?–Patriarchy (obviously). Women are more likely to win custody battles?–Patriarchy
(because judges stereotype them as suited for a maternal role). Women are less likely to write Wikipedia articles than men?–Patriarchy (silences women’s voices). By explaining everything, feminism ends up explaining nothing. Similarly, MacDonald’s theory is formulated so that it is consistent with basically all Jewish behavior. Jews are supposed to act to advance Jewish interests, but it’s only Jewish interests *as each Jew understands it*. So when we find Jews opposing Jewish interests (e.g., advocating multiracial immigration to Israel) MacDonald says that it must be that they believe that this will actually advance Jewish interests in the long run. Or when we see the vast majority of reform/unaffiliated Jews (the ones who participated in Jewish intellectual movements) intermarrying, it is because this is part of a strategy to make connections to the non-Jewish community and preserve a core of ethnic Jews. By explaining everything the theory explains nothing.”
