After Gay Marriage and Now Transgender Marines, What’s Next?

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

* One of the two transgender Democrats named Misty to win primaries:

“Plowright beat single dad and Iraq vet Donald Martinez for her shot at Lamborn. Plowright is an Army vet with a wife, Lisa, and a third domestic partner named Sebastian, according to the candidate’s campaign website.”

A third domestic partner named Sebastian. I picture a small lesbian with slicked back hair and a pencil moustache drawn with an actual pencil.

* This Hispanic political tidal wave I’ve been hearing about for years just isn’t picking up much momentum. For example, this poor bastard Martinez can’t even beat a guy named Misty.

The Latinos are being left behind by all the New Improved Minorities that keep getting invented.

* No, they’re not even close to finished with the gay and trans stuff.

First, most states don’t even have anti-discrimination laws based on these characteristics. Courts will start mandating them if they can’t get a federal law soon.

Then there’s shutting down Christian schools by taking away their accreditation. Basically every Christian institution will have to change or be buried.

Tax exempt status could be in danger.

I’m amazed by how the new concept of “gay rights” is able to trample all over our centuries old concept of religious freedom with its long constitutional and historical legacy over a wide variety of contexts. But there’s still a lot more that they can do.

* Everyone’s laughing, but honestly I predict that so-called “polyamory” will be the next culture war waged by the elites, and it’s going to be ugly.

If the Cathedral is successful in promoting the practice, it will affect housing prices when polyamorous groups with multiple adults price out traditional families. Because in practice polyamory means lots of women flocking to a few jerkboy Alpha males, it will create a population of surplus males with no marriage or sexual prospects.

And it will affect average guys when cultural authority figures tell them that instead of getting violently angry, they should feel “compersion” when their wives and girlfriends talk about opening up the marriage.

The elites will find the limits of how far they can push folks, and I tell you it’s going to get bad.

* When a guy like Leo DiCaprio can load up his yacht with a few dozen women he has all to himself, that condemns a few dozen men to some lonely nights.

* I wonder if the Left isn’t keeping the Muzzies around purely because of their usefulness as a vector for normalizing sexual deviancy: Polyamory, bestiality, incest and kiddie sex all have much wider acceptance in the Muslim world. The loonier Leftists palpably desire all of these things in the West, yet they can’t really push for them directly.

Sure, they got gays and lesbians in the door by appealing to “compassion.” They *just barely* managed to do the same thing with trannies. But once you’re talking about doinking kids and goats and letting rich men run harems, it’s pretty difficult to hide the ulterior motives. “Oppressed” illiterate third world peasants are a perfect stalking horse.

* Joseph Smith was, I think, exactly what Revilo Oliver said he was: a small time grifter who struck into the Long Con like the proverbial mosquito hitting an artery in Gary Larson’s “Far Side” cartoon.

He had the good luck, from the historical point of view, to be killed off at just the right time.

Brigham Young, however, was a much more formidable figure. If Saddam Hussein had had twenty more IQ points and a little better education, he would have been much like Young.

Young was a nation-builder. He failed in establishing a sovereign nation, but he did build a nation within a nation. I’ve always thought it was unfortunate he didn’t get somehow to (what was in better days known as ) Rhodesia, a more verdant land than Utah, and equally empty in the 1830s. He and his Mormons could have attracted, perhaps, many English, German, and Scandinavian peoples as well as perhaps siphoned off some of the better Boer stock, and by the supefecundity Mormons were famous for until recent times, packed it full of White farmers and workers. There were very few if any blacks in Rhodesia then, and the Mormons would have been neither as needful of importing black hired help nor as inclined to do so as the English were. Deseret-on-the-Zambezi would have been magnificent, probably rivalling Switzerland by now as a wealthy, productive White country.

Even as it is, the Mormon Nation is pretty remarkable. It is many orders of magnitude more successful than Scientology. Whereas Scientology has nothing of real institutional value besides a few somewhat impressive buildings and the loyalty of a few movie stars: Mormonism has a thoroughly respectable university, dozens of legitimate scientists, and thousands, even tens of thousands of members thoroughly embedded in the structure of the United States government, at levels Israel can only fantasize about. All branches of the US military, including US Navy submariners, SEALs and aviators: the FBI (most famously) and NSA, CIA, DEA, every other law enforcement agency: the US House and Senate, and the legislatures of most states-the list is enormous. Mormons also hold high government positions in many other countries.

Scientology has produced no serious institutions of learning nor any contribution to any science, art or technology whatever acknowledged by anyone but Scientologists. It has no scientists, no doctors, no military leaders (unless you count the farcical Sea Organization as a military entity). For all its bank accounts, nothing. It has lawyers, true, but then so does the mob and every major motorcycle club of the one percenter variety.

* Some part of what is driving the WWT must be internet porn and the search for ever more forbidden fruit that will yield a better orgasm… for a while.

I am honestly not sure how the various free porn search/libraries out there make money, but they must surely. Pornhub allows the combination of 2 categories. That is a feature not properly explored yet, though the limitation to two categories is insufficient.

xnxx allows delving into all sorts of perversions. It seems like there is an explosion in the production of incest videos. So maybe that will be one of the next things in line for decriminalization or rights or something.

Much like CGI has enabled the production of superhero movies, CGI has also enabled porn production that was hitherto difficult or impossible. That used to be what words were for, so that the imagination could fill in the blanks. Now there is CGI for that.

This can probably coexist with the anti-immigration/brexit/anti-globalism and protectionism we are seeing now. Who knows what the shitlords are whacking off to.

* How about not_normally_sexed people like ex-Homeland Security’s Janet Napolitano (she of the open borders) who inflict their neuroses and inner turmoil onto the American people. Normal Americans with children and families. The Obama administration is full of such people. Trannys now have full approval to be “out and about” in our military. They function as Obama’s shock troops to demoralize our service men and women. To turn our military into a joke.
The lefties have a wide assortment of rabid representatives of minorities they inflict on us to demoralize us. They put them into Federal jobs, or their NGOs get Federally funded, where they can do their damage and get paid for it. We are taxed for our ruination.

* We can basically predict the future on this.

1) The next frontier will be the legal and cultural normalization of polygamy.

2) As people have already pointed out, it will lead to a few men monopolizing more women and therefore more incels and lower quality women for all men below the billionaire and celebrity class

3) Part of the propaganda will be based on the ‘freedom of religion’ of Muslims and our ‘tolerance for difference’

4) ‘Feminists’ will be as absent in the fight against polygamy as they are in the fight against female genital mutilation or burkas. Because
a) nothing that brown or black people do can be criticized and
b) Feminists will take the position that if some ditz wants to be the eighth wife of an NBA baller rather than the first wife of an accountant, more power to her

5) The cultural push will involve the promotion of a few very telegenic and all-American seeming polyamorous families in TV reality shows. As I have said before, they will find an MFF threesome where they are all fire fighters or something else unimpeachable. We will be shown scenes of their romantic Valentines Day with twice the gifts (“twice the love!”). Everything will be extremely wholesome and the message will be that this is not about the guy busting a massive nutt, no it is about love. How can you deny these people their love? (and double the survivor benefits when one of them dies fighting fires).

* Here’s a prediction: before long, the media will start coming down HARD on straight men who won’t date trans women.

One of these days, match.com or some similar service will fix up a straight male with a Deirdre McCloskey or a Caitlyn Jenner. He’ll complain publicly, “Damn it, I asked for women, and you set me up with a dude!”

And the poor guy will be vilified all over the world. He’ll be hounded and cursed, called a hater and a bigot, merely because he prefers girls without a penis. He’ll be told, “She IS a woman, you creep, and you’d BETTER sleep with her, if you know what’s good for you.”

Most heterosexuals think this is all about “live and let live.” It’s not. Males who won’t date transvestites will soon find themselves under attack.

* As for syphilis, yes, it is making a comeback, mostly in the gay community, because of barebacking. However, every time something like this happens, instead of demanding some accountability among those who engage in unprotected anal and oral sex with multiple partners, the MSM not only does not identify the culprits but blames it on a lack of federal funding for clinics, and so on. In other words, no one is held accountable for getting these diseases, or transmitting these diseases, it’s all up to the government to find ways to treat them. So as usual it all goes back to the idea of rich white guys with mattesses full of money.

The same thing pertains to ending the ban on gay blood donations. That too is supposed to be a “marginalization”, never mind that gays are an at risk population for all sorts of diseases, including Hepatitis, HIV, syphilis. I guess marginalizing at risk populations is wrong, they should be fully embraced. (Note that this doesn’t extend to superstitious parents who refuse to get their children immunized.)

* Canada has already approved “non-penetrative” bestiality.

* What is “non-penetrative” bestiality? Does that mean you get to milk your cow? That your horse gets to lick your carrot? That you get to belly rub your pets? This is getting pretty silly.

Non-racist Red Cross Pool Safety Poster Released

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Black kids and pools don’t mix.

In the gyms I’ve been in that have pools, every time some black mama lets her brood into the pool by themselves, they cause nothing but problems and the staff has to eject them. I’ve read of cases where a bus load of them would show up at some motel pool and just raise so much hell the whole horde had to be asked to leave.

The thing about black kids is they don’t behave like white, let alone Asian kids. They have zero impulse control, are hyper kinetic and don’t give a shit if they interfere with adults in the pool. All of this ads up to trouble.

And the ones that have hit puberty, they start talking like a pimp whose looking for his ho’s and run around like a monkey on meth in the pool area. They are a nightmare to monitor.

The adult males just get worse, especially if there is a group of them who come in. Few things worry me, but a pack of linebacker sized blacks radiating bad vibes like a loud radio is one of them. Usually they aren’t gym regulars but come in on a guest or weekend pass.

And oh you can tell the regular patrons hate them.

* I used to administer my college’s swim test for incoming freshman. It was astounding to see how consistently blacks failed the swim test. I thought it was a myth. But, without fail, I would watch the most gifted of black athletes sputter around in the water like toddlers.

* I’ve always had the impression that Jews have done pretty well as competitive swimmers (Mark Spitz, etc). Perhaps a side-effect of living in places like California and Florida? Or maybe country clubs with good swimming facilities? Both?

* Yeah, that’s the funny thing about endless Jewish complaints about country club discrimination: in reality, Jews have done well in one country club sport, swimming, okay in another, tennis, and not so hot in a third, golf. The disparity is probably just small sample issue.

* I took swimming lessons conducted by the Red Cross at our local high school in the evenings. A number of adults from the community were learning to swim as well, and one of them was a black guy, superbly fit and muscular with no visible flab. In the first ‘dead float’ exercises, he’d sink like a stone. The rate of descent was marked.

Much of the instructor’s attention to him went towards teaching him not to panic, and to loosen up. To the guy’s credit he was a trooper and completed the course, but he had to constantly work at staying afloat.

* Trump just took questions from a crowd today in NH.

Woman says that the TSA should fire Muslim women (“hee-bee-jabees”) and replace them with veterans..

Trump says he’s “looking at that.”

* Something strange just occurred on my public Facebook feed. I post sometimes on USA Today. Total up to date maybe 50x. I’m certainly not anti-semitic, in fact, on balance pro-semitic. Really.
I made 2 posts on USA Today that pointed out that Donald Sterling was a Jew during that Clippers insurrection. Otherwise, I’ve posted nothing about Jews. Strangely, about 7 of 50 my USA Today’s postings appeared on the feed. The ones not about Jews, Sterling, whatever, only showed the text. While the ones on Sterling had a picture of Sterling with my text. It made those particular posts stand out in my feed. Out of context, and out of my overall posting history, this made me look like a rabid anti-semite.

Very odd. Don’t know what happened. But Facebook, you’ve got my attention.

* I am kind of curious however, what secular organizations have formally discriminated against Jews after around 1950. I think the really big decline happened around 1950 to 1955. The founding of the state of Israel was immediately very popular among Christian Americans, and the prestige and visibility of Jews in the mass media quickly grew.

In San Diego, a realtors’ conspiracy kept Jews out of most of La Jolla until around 1964, when the city fathers were warned that if the practice did not end, UCSD would not be located there as planned. The city fathers duly instructed their local realtors to stop, and La Jolla quickly became the most Jewish part of San Diego due to a location there of the University.

* I’ve marveled at the current tendency of the grievance peddlers to good full-spectrum denunciation at the slightest thing they don’t like. The problem, from their point of view, is that this habit collapses the intellectual and rhetorical space between obviously different points on a spectrum, sometimes making the reverse point from what they seem to have intended. It’s boy-who-cried-wolfery.

A few months back, I saw the left-o-sphere all a twitter about the Danes imposing a largely symbolic asset test before handing out welfare benefits to “refugees” from the Middle East. A couple of weeks later I read thata the Australian supreme court upheld that country’s policy of confining asylum seekers to a prison camp on the remote island of Nauru, and settling the successful ones in Cambodia. The open-borders fanatics decried that too. Now, even if you agree that Australia’s policy is the correct one, on balance, you’d still probably concede that it is “harsher” on the asylum-seekers than Danish policy. But the left wing had expended all their rhetorical ammo on the Danes, and there were no words left to explain how much worse they must have thought the Australian policy was. Which puts them in an awkward situation — if you read their breathless account of the Danish policy and thought “actually, that isn’t so bad,” would you now read their outraged headlines about Australia, figure it amounts to the same thing, and not even bother considering whether you, perhaps a bit of a bleeding heart, would put the line of acceptable policy somewhere between the Danes and the Australians?

Same thing here: When David Duke, Steve Sailor and Donald Trump are all Racists, and the freakin’ Red Cross is Super Racist, the smear kind of loses all meaning.

* In the early 80s I rescued a kid – about 10 years old – in trouble and starting to drown off a beach in Cornwall in the UK. He was on a school trip and had separated from a bunch of other kids by 50 metres or so. He had gotten out of his depth in the swell off the beach. The kid was black. I happened to be nearby and am trained life saver and saw he was in trouble, even though he was unable to shout for help. Blacks generally don’t swim well.

Indeed in South Africa, one of the euphemisms used for blacks is ‘non swimmer’.

At my son’s selective entry boys school in Pretoria – which was about 20% talented tenth black – the lack of black representation in the water polo and swim teams was glaring.

* This drunken woman, who fell off a boat into Chesapeake Bay a couple of days ago, survived. The glowing Washington Post story makes it out to be an inspirational story of a CrossFit superhuman with true grit, but she was just lucky.

* In this Coastie household, you’d be smacked down but good for claiming someone is “lucky” to survive a drowning-headed incident she created.

Four NRP boats, a Maryland State Police helicopter, Aberdeen Proving Ground Police and the Susquehanna Hose Company of Havre De Grace, among others, participated in the search for Conner.
Beck estimated that around 75 rescue personnel were involved from organizations in Cecil, Kent and Harford counties. This included 15 to 20 individuals on the water supported by vehicles and personnel on land.

One drunken idiot, no PFD, and a drunken boyfriend doing about 40 mph on their boat. Summer on the Eastern Shore.

* The poster failed to depict black boys swimming up behind white girls and putting their hands between their legs. That was the problem our public pool facility had when black boys showed up on occasion.

It was the first few years in integration, so the worst that resulted from many incidents was the boys were just told to leave, rather than being arrested for sexual assault on a minor.

At my newly integrated school, I recall our new black students getting away with all kinds of petty crime, as well as felonies, since our white administrators had little experience with black kids, and didn’t want to appear to be keeping black kids down, and were worried about escalating an issue that would go away if they ignored it.

I don’t see that much has changed, and instead of rewriting a poster to conform with lies, black kids should probably get their own poster, in their own dialect, instructing them how to behave.

Example: No “twerking” in another girls face.

Imagine these ladies at a public pool! Would that poster really apply to their sensibilities?

Gersh Kuntzman: Major League Baseball must permanently retire ‘God Bless America,’ a song that offends everyone

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Apparently columnist Gersh Kuntzman has recovered from the PTSD produced by firing an AR-15.

Gersh Kuntzman writes:

It’s time for God to stop blessing America during the seventh-inning stretch.
Welcome to the July 4 holiday weekend — when once again, baseball fans will be assaulted by the saccharine-sweet non-anthem “God Bless America” at stadia all over this great land.
But no matter which home team you root, root, root for, “God Bless America” should be sent permanently to the bench…
Part of my outrage stems from ponderous Mussolini-esque introduction of the song, when fans are asked to rise, remove their caps and place them over their hearts…
“God Bless America” is as divisive as American politics: Kaskowitz’s research found that 83.8% of people who described themselves as “very liberal” dislike the song, while only 20.5% of people who called themselves “very conservative” have a problem with it.
And more than 88% of atheists dislike the song, Kaskowitz found. (Quick aside: We atheists also hate having “In God we Trust” on the currency and in the courtrooms of a country whose Constitution bars the “establishment of religion” — but that’s a fight for another day.)
…Fans of the actual other National Anthem!: Unlike “God Bless America,” the better seventh-inning song, “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” captures the essential joy of American life: You go to a baseball game and you don’t care if you ever get back. And, sure, you root for the home team, but who cares if it wins or loses? You’re at a BALLGAME! With peanuts AND Crackerjack!
So this July 4, join me at the Church of Baseball by not rising and not doffing your cap for a song that is not the national anthem of a nation that is not uniquely blessed by some deity that doesn’t exist anyway.
If you want to thank God for blessing America, you can do it on Sunday in the other church.

Great! Another left-wing Jew wants to destroy the goyim’s national and religious identity. I am so glad that the goyim have even more reason to think of Jews as aliens in their midst.

LAT: Flags are great for holiday celebration, but hyper-patriotism is un-American

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

As soon as I read that headline in the Los Angeles Times today, I prayed, “Let the author not be a Jew.”

My prayer was not answered.

Why do many Jews fear gentile patriotism? Because the stronger the goy gets in his national, religious or racial identity, the more likely he is to see the Jew as alien.

Many people, including Jews, love their own nationalism and fear threatening nationalisms.

Mark Oppenheimer writes:

I come from flag-ambivalent America. My neighborhood is peopled by gays and Jews, professors and social workers, and Catholics of the Dorothy Day persuasion. Yoga practitioners and yoga teachers. Vegetarians. Bicycling enthusiasts.
We love the Fourth of July, with its long weekend, its parades, its backyard barbecues (veggie burgers available). It wouldn’t be Independence Day without flag bunting on floats, flags lining our Main Streets, flags adorning houses. But we aren’t much for patriotic symbolism the rest of the year. For us, it’s an article of faith that crude patriotism quickly turns on the underdog, the minority. We know how the flag is used to impose loyalty tests, which we find un-American.

In Mark Oppenheimer’s America, they’re fine with a holiday, but they don’t want to celebrate America too much. They don’t like loyalty tests because they’re “un-American.” So on the one hand, he states he comes from “flag-ambivalent America”, another way of saying “ambivalent about America”, but he is happy to use the “un-American” argument when useful.

So where are his loyalties?

The Judeo-Christian tradition has a name for that heresy: idol worship. Like many houses of worship, my synagogue hangs an American flag in the front (and an Israeli one, too). I wish we wouldn’t. If I face the Torah scroll, I’m confronted by those two schmattes on sticks. Yet the Torah is the opposite of a crude symbol. Like other great books — like the U.S. Constitution, for that matter — it invites us not to simplify but to enlarge our thinking. It invites, indeed has been improved by, interpretation.
On the Fourth of July, flags make me think about a war fought for democracy, a subsequent struggle to make that democracy better and more inclusive, and, most immediately, a holiday, a day off, so a free people can enjoy some extra leisure. But the rest of the year? Flags make me uneasy. I know their owners are checking out my lapel, and probably my front porch. And I know what they’re not seeing.

They’re seeing an alien among them.

The United States hasn’t fought any wars for democracy.

As American democracy has become more inclusive, social trust has steadily declined. Diversity and inclusivity destroy social trust.

I wonder if the Israeli flag makes him uneasy? It seems to. So Oppenheimer is consistent. He’s more of a leftist than a Jew. As a good leftist, he accords little importance to race, religion and ethnicity as core factors in creating nations. Jewish leftists who don’t like the Jewish state of Israel are not evil. They’re simply consistent with their left-wing approach to life which does not like ethno-states.

Mark Oppenheimer does not like loyalty tests but the Torah does. “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! 5″You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.…So you shall put these, my words, on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them for signs on your hands, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.”

This is the least interesting version of Mark Oppenheimer.

The Suzi piece worked because reality ambushed his expectations and he reported it honestly. This piece has no such ambush. He knows exactly what he thinks before he starts writing, and the essay is simply the decoration of a predetermined conclusion. His neighborhood is full of yoga practitioners and vegetarians and Dorothy Day Catholics and he finds flag-waving un-American. His coalition will nod along. Nobody he knows will push back. Nothing in the piece costs him anything.

The Leibowitz quote is the tell. It is a genuinely interesting observation, that symbolic patriotism can substitute for substantive national identity, and it applies well beyond Israel. But Oppenheimer uses it only to validate what he already believes about American flag-wavers, the people checking out his lapel and his front porch. He does not ask whether the same critique applies to his own neighborhood’s symbolic vocabulary, the yard signs, the rainbow flags, the carefully curated political signaling that serves exactly the same coalition-marking function he is criticizing in others. His neighbors are not less tribal. They have different schmattes on different sticks.

The Obama lapel pin passage is pure in-group signaling. Everyone in his intended audience already knows this story and already agrees with his reading of it. He is not persuading anyone. He is performing membership.

The line “We know how the flag is used to impose loyalty tests, which we find un-American” is the piece’s central problem in miniature. That “we” is doing enormous work. It marks a coalition, defines an inside and outside, and dismisses a large portion of the country without examining their relationship to the flag, which is often rooted in military service, family loss, and genuine civic attachment rather than in the loyalty-test dynamic he describes. He is doing to them exactly what he accuses them of doing to him: using a symbol to sort people without knowing them.

This is the Oppenheimer who never met his subject. The Suzi piece worked because he did.

A Visit To Seoul

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Luke Ford

Martin Van Creveld writes:

My hotel, The Lotte, is reputed to be the best in Korea. Clean, posh, with very good service. The buffet is famous. Though a bit expensive, of course. Which made me wonder how come so many guests are young. My one complaint is that there is no lobby where one can sit comfortably and meet a guest. Unless one pays, of course.
In China, hotels in this class often have a so-called KTV, meaning a brothel, built in. Here they don’t. The Seoul Lotte does, however, have a “ladies’ floor” where men are not allowed. I doubt that I missed much.

Young Korean women are stunning. Many have sweet faces. Small breasts, but well-shaped asses and legs. Among them the shift back from pants to skirts (or shorts) is well under way. Makes them look even better.

Even a short-time visitor can see that this, at bottom, is a Confucian society. What makes it tick is deference; the boss is always right. Perhaps that is why, at the conference which I attended as the keynote speaker, there was hardly any Q&A.

The Reasons For Globalism

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* First of all, globalisation is not a “scheme” for the rich to get richer. The economic advantages of the free exchange of goods, ideas and people are well understood going back to Adam Smith and David Ricardo. I am not getting into this, but at least 10 Nobel Prizes in economics had this as a theme over the past half a century.

Secondly, globalisation is not really an economic or political phenomenon, but rather a technological one. Globalisation has been fostered mostly by the dramatic increase in communication and transport technologies over the past 40 years. Such technological developments make the exchange of goods, services and capital between countries much easier than they were decades ago.

The fundamental problem is that conservatives assume the World to be static. They think that, because nations are a reality, that they always wil be and that if something is disrupting that it must be a conspiracy. The nation-state is a modern invention. In the ancient World humans lives either in tribes, city-states or empires. The only state with any large territory in the past were empires. The political entity was the city-state.

There is a pattern here that started in the Paleolithic Era and has hold true since then, of tribes coming together to form larger and more organized structures(cities). Cities expanding their territories to become even larger and more organized entities(nations). And now, national borders are falling apart due to advancements in communication and transport technologies, and nation-states are slowly dissolving into something even larger, namely, a true global civilization. But conservatives don’t notice the trend.

What is happening is that, due to the advancements in technology, we are progressing to become a Type I civilization in the Kardashev Scale. That is, a true global civilization. Because this process is technological, it cannot be stopped politically, only slowed. Nationalist movements wil omly stall temporarilly the process, but not stop it.

Also, Sailer’s denunciation of “universalist” morality is baffling. It is baffling because he tries to argue that caring for human beings based on their human condition irrespective of where they are born is less moral than determining their humanity based on whether or not they were born in an arbitrarilly set geographical construct(a nation). Yes, Sailer, it is so terrible to consider a human being born far away just as human and worthy of his humanity as a human being born close to me. I guess I am a monster(sigh). Assigning worth to human beings based on geography is irrational, more arbitrary and less rational than assigning it based on whether they are human or not. Hence, “universalist” morality IS more moral than the particular brand of particularist morality Sailer subscribes to(citizenism)

As for the rich wanting cheap labor, that is true. No one like to pay more for stuff than less. The people that work for the rich are also like that, and try to bargain prices just as the rich do. That’s human nature.

However, you are wrong, Sailer, that the elite does not believe in “universalist” morality and are only vouching for it for profits. They do. The daughter of a rich white man is far more likely to marry a rich Chinese man with a Harvard degree than an alcoholic white bum or construction worker. The elite tend to be intelligent, and intelligent people tend to TRULY dislike ethnocentrism and tribalism. That doesn’t mean that they don’t discriminate. They do. But their discrimination tends to be more sophisticated than that. Rich people care more about things like education, income and table manners than they do about race and nationality. Their discrimination is perceived by them to be more moral because it is based on PERSONAL attributes, and not attributes that do not depend on merit, like nationality or race. Education, income and manners are all things that can be changed by volitional effort. So the elite thinks that it is ok to discriminate based on this criteria because these are all things that you have at least some control over and therefore can be used to gauge your character. The elite considers discriminating someone based on their nationality or race to be distasteful because these are things that you can’t change. Therefore, it is cruel and unfair to discriminate someone based on that. The elite tends to be intelligent, and intelligent people tend to be more ethic than dumb people. How many rich people you see engaging in murder? Or even hooliganism or drunkeness? Because they are intelligent, they use a more sophisticated moral criteria to determine whether they like someone or not, one based on personal traits and merits and not on things that you can change such as race and nationality, which are accidents of birth. The elite TRULY dislikes racism and nationalism because nationalism is seen as a form of tribalism where people who are not members if the tribe are de-humanized irrespective of their personal traits as human beings. I know many, many elite people and I can assure you that they do believe in their core moral values. I see rich people doing business and even marrying with people of other nationalities and races all the time, as long as they like them on a PERSONAL level.

* People know ‘who they are’.

The Japanese know ‘who they are’.
The Chinese know ‘who they are’.
Jewish people know ‘who they are’.
Indians know ‘who they are’.
Palestinians know ‘who they are’.
Blacks know ‘who they are’.

But only with whites, or more properly the forces that control discourse in white society, has this utterly dangerous, ridiculous nonsensical downright fiction arisen in the past half century that white people cannot ‘know who they are’.

* The ‘remain’ camp were full in with their talk of doom and gloom, ‘experts’ and ‘emergency budgets’.

Yet, a week after brexit the FTSE is back where it was, and the pound has stabilized a few percentage points below last week’s level. Yields on British government bonds are, in fact, now lower.

Surely, if brexit would cause economic catastrophe – as was widely prophesied last week, the collapse in sterling and the consequent massive jacking up of interest rates would have happened *immediately* after the brexit vote, as investors responded to the shock of economic meltdown – any delayed reaction, surely, cannot be due to brexit – as the fact is now known.
I’ve lived through enough British economic crises such as ‘Black Wednesday’ in 1992, so I know what economic turmoil looks like. This has been nothing of the sort. The markets have taken it in their stride.

So much for the ‘experts’.

* In the debate over Brexit 2, the departure of the England soccer team after an unexpected defeat by Iceland, most of the blame is being laid on the blond goalkeeper, Joe Hart. No word yet on whether the team’s lack of tactical sophistication resulting in players running around like headless chickens could have been related to the ethnic balance of the team.

* The old English soccer teams were not always that successful on the international stage but at least they played as a team, were reasonably entertaining and wholly committed to fighting for their country; were proud to be in the team.

In the last two decades things have gone pear-shaped: players appear to lose all sense of build-up, tactics, sobriety when they run out. This may reflect the crowding out of England eligible players by foreigners in the Premier League. But it also appears to reflect a decline of character; perhaps also a loss of indentity with England qua England.

I am agnostic on whether an ethnically mixed team has a similar cohesion and spirit as an ethnically homogeneous team outside of the money-orientated playing systems of the PL.

But my interest in following England has declined with the decline in the number of white players. This is not because is disrespect or dislike the non-white players but because a national team that increasingly does not look like the nation (even now) does not hold the same romance and feeling that “our lads” are out there battling foreigners on my behalf. Numbers matter. Other games may be different; soccer is the national game.

(The manager of the French team before the Euros was accused a racism for leaving out a couple of non-white players when there were only about four white players in the starting line-up. It may not be a coincidence that soccer is not terribly popular in France.)

* Galut is Hebrew for exile or diaspora – in other words Jews living outside of Israel. Zionist theory was that living in galut was distorting to the character of Jews, turning them into rent seekers, sycophants, etc. but they would be a normal people back in their own country and pursue honest work like picking oranges instead of being Fed Chairmen. I don’t think it quite worked out that way.

* British political customs tend to be a little better than American political customs.

Part of it is that Prime Ministers aren’t deified the way American Presidents have been, especially since Pearl Harbor. Notice that American Presidents never have a job again after they leave office, not since John Quincy Adams went into the House. But former PMs can rise again, the way former PM Balfour became Foreign Secretary.

Hillary & Huma In A Hot Tub

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments:

* This would probably feel great to Hillary after Bill humiliated her with all his affairs, and she intends to rub her new, higher status in his face if she wins, and he knows it.

* The harrowing possibilities! Mandatory hot tub double dates: Hillary and Huma making out while across the froth Weiner suggestively raises his brows at desiccated, shriveled Bill.

* My impression is that Trump National Westchester is Bill Clinton’s home club.

Clinton had a hard time getting into top Westchester clubs without a long wait when he left the White House. It was pretty humiliating for him. The opening of Trump’s nouveau riche club thus was very appealing to him.

* We’re talking nearly twenty years ago, and if you know anything about established, old money Country Clubs you know that regardless of political party the Boards and influential families tend to be conservative in personal behavior with an emphasis on decorum. They’re also places where the old fellows’ wives hang out with the other old biddies and so you’re looking at a demographic that at the time wouldn’t want that cur around the Club. Would you really want a married ex-President chasing the skirts of waitstaff and members’ daughters and wives?

Additionally, the Secret Service detail would be a real hassle for other members.

A new money ex-President is probably a better get for a Club full of new money strivers and schemers.

I’ll bet that the top clubs on Oahu, however, have a different culture and any would probably welcome Mr. Obama (save for his alleged slow play).

* There’s a reason private clubs are private. They don’t need or want the publicity or notoriety of a former president. In fact, nothing says exclusive like not admitting (excluding) without a wait (like everyone else) a former president. Also, private clubs are equalist collectives where members are on the same level and have no desire for making special accommodations for the entourage of former presidents.

MORE COMMENTS:

* I read somewhere a half decade ago that Thilo Sarrazin said that he was told after publishing a bestselling book full of data on how immigration was working out in Germany … Look, Thilo, all the important people know you are right about immigration, so you shouldn’t have published your book. There’s no need to rile voters up over it because we insiders will never make the mistake we made with Turks back in the 1960s again. Just shut up about it and trust us.

But, the world is complicated and facts and analyses are hard to remember, so if you aren’t supposed to have a constant public debate over a topic using data and logic, it’s easy to forget what you used to be aware of.

The Lavender Menace

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comment: The presumed successor to Jeremy Corbyn (UK Labour leader) is Angela Eagle, another pro-immigration Anglela.

She is an out lesbian. Leaders of both Scottish Labour and Scottish Conservatives are also lesbians. Has there ever been a situation where most of the female leaders of a country are lesbians? Any majority female movement eventually becomes a jobs for the gays movement:

* Who would have guessed that black lesbians would be angry?

* It is a case of life imitating arts. Soros or an associate probably got the idea from the book. The black church didn’t approve of homosexuality especially during the 80s AIDS epidemic and has been pretty openly hostile to homosexuality until recently. Black gays have never been organized in any manner to do anything anyway except put a vogue show. White homosexual groups certainly weren’t going to put blacks in leadership roles.

BLM was able to side-step the stranglehold that clergy have on black activism by advocating for criminals which for some reason really appeals to black people. Now that BLM has the backing of many blacks and the attention of white media, BLM can promote its homosexual agenda.
