Forward: No, You Can’t Be A Feminist And A Zionist

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Luke Ford

Here’s the op/ed:

When I hear anyone championing Zionism while also identifying as a feminist, my mind turns to images of night raids, to the torture of children and to the bulldozing of homes. But I also think of those female soldiers who casually partake in it all, including ex-Israeli soldier and “Wonder Woman” Gal Gadot, who expressed her love and support for the Israel Defense Forcesas they bombed and killed thousands of Palestinians in Gaza in 2014.

Being a feminist and a Zionist is a contradiction in terms because the Zionist feminist is complicit in propagating supremacy and domination over a people on the one hand, while on the other hand calling for an end to patriarchy.

Indeed, the Zionist feminist is reminiscent of another kind of feminist: the white feminist. Women of color have been historically marginalized within the feminist movement, mostly due to white women stifling racial justice issues and de-emphasizing the specific oppressions faced by people of color because of their race, ethnicity and class. This negligence was often justified as working for collective sisterhood. But as Hooks eloquently explains, “As long as women are using class or race or power to dominate other women, feminist sisterhood cannot be fully realized.” Fundamentally speaking, feminism cannot support racism, supremacy and oppressive domination in any form.

Zionism is often preached as a call for a Jewish homeland to ensure that the horrors of anti-Semitic oppression do not occur again. In this simplified narrative, however, what is obscured is the fact that this quest for a homeland was initiated by a colonizing agency, which meant ipso facto appropriating land and culture, and dispossessing the people who lived in the region for thousands of years. These land thefts and violations of human dignity and international law continue in the name of Zionism on a regular basis, perpetuating the suffering of an entire population and the denial of their basic human rights on the premise of ethnicity and race. This is why I am weary and distrustful of the Zionist feminist. She willfully ignores that Zionism has advanced itself through myriad human rights violations.

I think she might be right — feminism and Zionism are incompatible. In fact, feminism and any healthy form of social arrangement are impossible.

Are leftism and Zionism compatible? Probably not. Zionism, like all nationalisms, is a movements of the right (against equality). People are conservative about their own interests.

Shot in the Dark (2017)

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Luke Ford

This is the first reality show I’ve watched. It’s mesmerizing and beautifully shot. It has the production values of a movie and it’s a wonderful way to see Los Angeles at night.

It’s a reality show version of the film Nightcrawler. It made me fall in love with Los Angeles all over again.

Comments on a forum:

* I started watching this last night and it is goddamned fascinating.

It’s about real-life nightcrawlers–a.k.a. stringers–who prowl the night in Los Angeles, shooting news to sell to TV stations.

The series mostly focuses on three guys within three competing stringer companies and the way that they’re constantly trying to get on the scene and get their footage shot and edited before the other guys do.

I’ve watched two episodes so far and it really is interesting. Anyone else checking this one out?

* We have one we deal with every so often. Dude is scum. Was trying to get into the back of an ambulance to get video of a dying 14 year old from a car crash. Fire fighters damn near kicked the shit out of him. Fire Captain shoved his ass off the ambulance and almost went at him.

* The ethics of the profession is something that I was thinking about last night as I was watching the show.

I don’t think it’s unethical in and of itself. The news is what it is. These guys don’t make the news, they just document it. And we do need people to tell us what is going on out in the world.

At the same time, obviously there’s a line that you shouldn’t cross.

I think what I would personally struggle with would be the conflicting feelings of not wanting bad shit to happen to people, while also wanting to get the most interesting and most profitable story.

Jews & Their Enemies

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* The Jewish establishment and their Gentile colleagues clearly have a symbiotic relationship with the anti-Semitic Far Right. They need each other, define themselves in opposition to the other and justify the need for their continued funding based on the existence of the other. Both agree the Jews are at the centre of things and the world cannot make sense without seeing it from a Jewish-centred point of view. It’s no wonder they can’t stop talking about each other.

* No, people like Bill Kristol drag out their Jewishness to explain why they get to rule people like Trump or the Le Pen’s out of bounds. All the other mainstream Jews, to a greater or lesser degree, also insist that they have a special sensitivity to Nazism and therefore should be kept around to make sure it doesn’t flare up anywhere new. They further insist that anyone who notices the disproportionately Jewish character of an institution are themselves neo-Nazis. Thus Jews need to be kept around as Nazi spotters and anyone who wonders why is himself a Nazi they just spotted, thereby proving their continued necessity.

* Jews have a tremendous amount of power in America, and play an enormous role in the media, entertainment, foreign policy, finance, academia, publishing, etc.

It’s pretty tough to “grossly over-emphasize” the importance of Jews in this country.

But Nazis have less than zero power in America. They play no role whatsoever in the media, entertainment, foreign policy, finance, academia, publishing, etc.

Yet Jews are always going on as if every institution in America is run by the Nazi Party.

* Wright Bros invent the aeroplane: White supremacy

Poe invents the detective story: White supremacy

Claude Shannon invents Information Theory: White supremacy

Josiah Willard Gibbs develops Statistical Mechanics: White supremacy

Robert Goddard invents the liquid-fueled rocket: White supremacy

American history: it’s White supremacy all the way down….

* As for Jews, yes they are over-represented in banking, entertainment, the law. They are under-represented in extraction industries, engineering, the sciences, and particularly: Law Enforcement and the Military. Quick, name five famous Jewish Police or Military public figures active NOW. Charlie Beck, William Bratton, Jim Mattis, Gen. Kelly, Jeff Sessions, are all not Jewish. Jews if anything act HOSTILE TO JEWISH INTERESTS by importing Muslims. This makes perfect sense however if you see them as logs bobbing about aimlessly in river current of virtue signaling and female run societies based on feelz and the need for Fifty Shades of Grey Domination and disgust over White men being too beta male.

Thought experiment: What would a real Jewish conspiracy look like? No populations hostile to Jews in places like the US, and Europe, nice places to live. Jews forming the overwhelming majority of police and military leaders and personnel, and active conversion of Gentiles to Jews to provide numbers with a core of “inner Jews” running the real power centers. Historically, this is how the Roman, Alexandrian/Hellenistic, Persian, Hittite, and Mongol Empires ran and there is no reason to depend on fantastical arguments about how Jews “really” benefit from being chased into crowded Israel dependent on a rapidly Islamifying US and Europe for aid and defense.

* The ADL will take effective control of Twitter on 12/18/17.

That should work well.

* It really would be for the best if the organized Jewish community were the final arbiters on all things. Sadly, it is the only way we can prevent another Hitler.

* It’s obvious to any honest person that Jews have enormous power, as evidenced by their ability to wreck anyone who wants to talk about it. Someone who doesn’t see this simply proves their intellectual dishonesty.

* There is a legitimate concern that letting alt-right types express themselves in public forums risks that their views will infect others. After all, their views correspond to reality, while those of the NYT editors do not.

The left no longer has confidence that exposing the views of those in the alt-right is the best way of invalidating them. The left knows it can’t win in free and open debate.

* I think what is true is that most Jews would like Nazism in America (everywhere) to be smothered in its cradle, BEFORE it is running every institution (0r even ANY institutions). Once it has gained a foothold it’s already too late. You don’t wait until the whole building is on fire before you get out the fire extinguisher. This is the big mistake that the US made against Islamism – it should have been killed off when it was still confined to a few crazy preachers, not before it became the ideology of millions. It might seem like overkill to loose the forces of the entire establishment against a pisher like Hovater but it’s the right thing to do.

Those who say that they want an “open and honest discussion of Jewish power in America” or some such are like the Leftists who want to have a “conversation about race”. You don’t want an honest conversation at all – you want to be able to freely and publicly denounce Jews without consequences to yourself. And once you publicly identify Jews as “a problem” we know that this calls for a solution. Now in the American context the solution is unlikely (I hope and pray) to be violent but it would naturally involve cutting down on “Jewish power” one way or another – those who are calling for “discussion” don’t bother to hide this. If what you are saying is true and Jews have “excessive” power in America, then naturally they are not going to surrender this without a fight, nor do they have any obligation to give a “fair hearing” to Nazis in the institutions that they control any more than George Zimmerman should have allowed Trayvon to pound him into unconsciousness.

* Apparently Nate Silver’s post-election paranoia that he didn’t understand Trump’s America has led him to think that the NYT is publishing a deeply sympathetic portrait of a white supremacist.

* The closest thing we have is Tucker Carlson pointing out that “elite” don’t particularly care for the American people much, though Tucker is meticulous about avoiding the whole J thing.

Having It Both Ways

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Men and women always had a libido but civilization existed to tame it and channel that libido into the socially useful institution of marriage and family – husband and wife could hump like bunnies and it was all good, but sex outside of marriage was bad. But now we are back to pagan morality – it’s a given that females will sleep around as much as they want. The pill has divorced sex from “having babies” – they are two completely separate things. So instead we are reduced to ridiculous arguments about consent – females can sleep with dozens of men and keep photos of themselves on their phones that not long ago would have been too shocking to even be printed as pornography, but the moment she snaps her fingers and utters the magic words, a force field descends and females should be treated like Victorian virgins. This is called “having it both ways”.

* What is so difficult to understand here? Everyone is entitled, nay, encouraged to explore their potential for self-actualization by having as much promiscuous sex with as many anonymous partners as they please, up to the point of requiring prophylactic anti-retroviral drugs and abortions. The completely predictable results of stunted relationships, illegitimate children and venereal disease are totally worth it. But, of course, these young people who encouraged to get a dozen strains of HPV before they are 21 are also told that they can withdraw consent at any point, up to and after the point they decide to raw dog another stranger. It makes perfect sense, you see… Casual sex has no negative consequences so no need to worry about it more than a handshake, unless of course you regret it, when it becomes the gravest crime imaginable in our society.

* What the NYT article doesn’t mention is that many women engage in opportunistic sexual relations with powerful men in exchange for career advancement or money. For as long as women have been on the planet, they’ve been forming relationships with wealthy/powerful men in return for financial benefits. If Harvey Weinstein thought he could get away with harassing women, one reason is because many women willingly slept with him in return for movie roles.

If women stopped using sex as bartering currency, powerful men would be far less likely to harass them.

* We have allowed Western women to debauch themselves to African style sexual norms. An erosion toward an African level of civilization will be the inevitable result. (The white IQ, conscientiousness and behavior of a large section of whites is holding us back from an avalanche into the abyss, but we’re certainly slipping down the slope.)

* Any teen girl who’s had more than one makeout session can tell you that guys vary both in skill and aggression. I never noticed a religious pattern with guys who grew up in America, but I wouldn’t get in a cuddle session with either a Muslim or an Israeli. I once danced with an Israeli at Webster Hall, and he backed me all over the dance floor with gratuitous pelvic thrusts. Since we were not doing the “Time Warp,” I felt he was being just a little bit invasive.

Nazi Drummers II

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* It’s interesting that Eric Garner lost his martyrdom in favor of Heather Heyer. They both had a kind of static health where they could roll out of bed in the morning but any additional stress was enough to put them over the limit into cardiac arrest. The NYT should send their most extremely obese reporter to Hovater’s house and arrange some loud/stressful noises, then they could potentially pin a murderer label on him as well when the inevitable happens.

* This third one (in a series?) is called extending the click bait. This article has 782 comments so you can see it has Times readers in a self righteous tizzy. Imagine you are a NY Times reader relaxing on a nice sunny Sunday, when Tony Hovater comes along to trigger you.

* Alternative NYT: We denounced Mr. Hovater as reprehensible using all the ugly names we could muster and readers still thought we “normalized” him. Having already taken outrage to 11, we couldn’t find 12 on the scale. Groveling apology to follow…

* Heather Heyer died of a heart attack, brought on because she was an very obese chain smoker. I never came across a video showing her actually getting hit (maybe the car hit her on the leg). Had she been a normal sized person who didn’t smoke she would have just been another witness to the whole mess.

* …from the founding of this nation until 1965 or so, “normal ass white people” pretty much universally believed the following:

1. America is a white nation built by and for white people
2. Homosexuals are mentally ill
3. Transgenders are even more mentally ill
4. The role of woman is to “stand by her man” and raise his children
5. Homosexuals, transgenders, and women don’t belong in the military
6. Communism is bad
7. If a white man got his ass out of bed in the morning and put in an honest day’s work, he could not only support his family, but get ahead in life.

Today, if you believe #1-6 you are seen literally as a “Nazi” (and #7 is no longer true). Today you are seen as a Nazi because the culture has become inverted 180 degrees; women, gays, blacks, illegals and transgenders are holy and pure, and the white man is a satanic demon.

So whether or not the white man is an actual Nazi or not he might as well be one, because 1) the ruling caste is going to call him one anyway, and 2) the “Nazis” in Germany were a working class movement (which, admittedly, got out of hand due to the fanatical leadership) but in fact they pretty much agreed with “all of the above,” as did normal Americans for the first 180-190 years of our existence.

* Mike Enoch writes:

I’m thinking that Richard Fausset figured his angle was “Look, this guy is totally normal, but also a Nazi. See, anyone can be a Nazi so watch out for Nazis everywhere.” But he totally f***ed up from the perspective of his bosses. The blue checks are going insane over the piece. Which gives away that they will not stand for any journalism that is not purely agenda driven.

In the course of writing, Richard Fausset probably grew to actually like Tony and on some level his conscience kicked in and he couldn’t just smear him. Huge mistake for his career. Look at the reactions of agenda setting Jews like Ezra Klein.

Richard Fausset did it wrong. He was supposed to bring back a hit piece or some useful information, preferably both. He did neither. Instead he gave US a propaganda win.

Funny thing is, I spoke to Tony and it turns out that he actually DOES have seasonal allergies and occasionally takes an antihistamine. And Richard Fausset totally failed to even mention this in his article. What the hell was he thinking?

A certain Mr Greenblatt, who it seems this very year has risen from mere second-tier government-apparatus-hanger-on in some obscure ideological-enforcement department of USGov, to Chief Suppressor of Anti-Semitism for the United States (i.e., new Head of the ADL; this may as well be a government position), writes:

“It’s critical for the press, when covering professional hatemongers, to avoid treating the abnormal as normal or to humanize the inhumane. By that basic measure, I’d score this @NYTimes piece: #Nazis- 1, @Public- 0.”

More importantly, shall we treat Greenblatt as ‘abnormal’? Is ethnic activism and likely allegiance to a foreign state ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’?

* “Nazi” is and always has been an abuse word. It was invented as an abuse word. The Germans never called themselves Nazis. Can you imagine having a serious discussion about the Vietnam War while referring to Vietnamese as “Gooks”? The reason people such as the New York Times use the word Nazi is to demonize the person they are targeting with that label. And it works. Hence the liberal hysteria about the alt-right instead of serious analysis.

* Questions Worth Asking:

(1) Is Richard Fausset’s career over?

(2) If so, will he salvage his career by announcing a dramatic discovery of Jewish ancestry, miracle Holocaust Survival (making Fausset a bonafide Third-Generation Holocaust Survivor), and perform a formal conversion to Judaism?

* Ultimately, the New York Times’ and Richard Fausset’s cardinal sin was to presume that anyone could ever understand Mr. Hovater, or anyone like him, or that there might be reasons why people like him exist. That’s truly unacceptable. I’ve heard numerous Hannah Arendt (Eichmann trial, “banality of evil”) references this weekend over this piece, in claims that it’s nothing new. Ultimately, we’re not meant to seek any deeper meaning for any of this. “White supremacists are normal ass white people and it’s been that way in America since 1776.” And we must never, ever, ever think for a moment that people like Mr. Hovater have reasons for thinking the way that they do, much less potentially legitimate grievances. No, it’s evil, and banal, and just too much to think about, so why are you talking about it still?

* Over the past weekend, Enoch posted some audio to his site from a couple of journalists who were supposed to write pieces on him. He seems to be getting sort of friendly with one of them, because they keep calling each other after the story went to press, and the journalist keeps laughing at his jokes, and even admitting some things about the journalism business you wouldn’t really expect him to admit.

* Finally, hopefully more Whites will ‘put 2 and 2 together’ and realize things will be much worse when Whites are a minority in America — the ’2 and 2′ being 1) stubborn discrepancies in economic well-being across racial/ethnic lines in even the ‘most diverse’ locales’, which due to HBD are irremediable without extensive government intervention (taxation, wealth redistribution/transfers), and will always be blamed on Whites (racism, including ‘institutional racism’, ‘white privilege’ etc), and 2) the implacable hatred and hysterical condemnation of any form of white identity, as evidenced by the response to this article.

MORE COMMENTS:

* The dude says he loves Seinfeld. (I love Seinfeld. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every episode at least twice.) How does a “Nazi” love Seinfeld? On any reasonable use of the term “Nazi”, shouldn’t a “Nazi” hate Seinfeld and demand that he be executed? Doesn’t any insinuation that anyone is a “Nazi” convey the insinuation that the “Nazi” thinks that all “Jews” should be immediately executed? Of course it does. That is why the term “Nazi” carries such power. But all of this is false.

* Because modern day white nationalism and neo-Nazism is a mass of ridiculous and stupid contradictions. Whether it’s people of full or partial Slavic ancestry admiring Hitler, the spectacle of stupid anti-Semites worshiping philo-Semitic Confederate aristocrats, the schizophrenia about whether Christianity is the one true religion or a distraction for pathetic cucks, the most prominent public face at the moment being someone who is obviously a closeted or not-so-closeted homosexual, or the fact that the Aryan Brotherhood is led by a guy named Silverstein, a Nazi liking Seinfeld is the least of their problems.

* Steve Sailer: The drummer is highly articulate and has lots of opinions on what motivates him, so it’s not that impossible a reportorial task to, you know, look up the subject’s lengthy essays on the Internet.

The punk rock movement was roughly half-Jewish. Of the three punk bands I mentioned that played around with Nazi imagery, the Ramones were half Jewish (Joey the singer and Tommy the first drummer/manager), the Sex Pistol’s manager/idea man Malcolm McClaren was half Jewish, and Mick Jones, founder of the Clash was, I believe, half-Jewish (Joe Strummer was something like 1/8th Jewish, and more Armenian).

So, it was all kind of an inside joke. And all three bands knocked off with the Nazi stuff within about a year. I vaguely recall that perhaps Strummer and Bernard Rhodes, the Jewish manager of the Clash, took a stand against it and maybe that shamed the others into cutting it out?

Left wing militarism became more of a thing in the late 1970s as Strummer’s influence grew. (By the way, Strummer was not a nice guy. Nothing to do with politics …)

Obama’s Indonesian step-uncles and aunts tended to believe little Barry Soetoro might be Indonesian because as they moved about the various island due to their dad’s job as a petroleum engineer, their mom tended to give birth to children who looked like the respective islanders, and one island near New Guinea everybody was kind of African-looking.

Nobody in the family seemed to want to advance the alternative theory.

* Before punk rock, The Blue Oyster Cult liked to pretend to be Nazis, even though singer Eric Bloom was Jewish, and so were producers Sandy Pearlman and Murray Krugman. Their hooked-cross symbol was vaguely suggestive of a swastika.

* The NYT writer was obviously rattled by the fact that his subject was informed, hyper-verbal, analytical, and looked like a hipster. In short, the self-image of the average young Times writer (and reader). “One of us” if you will. You can almost see him thinking to himself “what the heck is going on here. This cat should be a Bernie Bro.”

* There’s even a Canadian grindcore band called Fuck the Facts. Probably the best name for a left-leaning rock band I’ve ever heard.

* Periodically, bands adopt Nazi imagery for the same reason some adopt the Confederate flag as a mascot. It makes them look tough and pisses people off. It doesn’t mean they want to kill Jews or own slaves.
