I posted on Facebook:
* You learn more when you regard people’s behavior as rational, purposeful and filled with meaning rather than dismissing them as ignorant and inept. People are usually doing the best they can. They’ve learned from reward and punishment over a lifetime. So if they’re acting strangely in your view, try to understand what they get out of it. Why am I so weird on FB? Because I never learned to attach normally. This is my clumsy way of attaching to others.
* It’s not uncommon to run into married Orthodox Jewish men who take pride in their comely shiksa assistants and they don’t mind letting you know that they’re tapping that.
Why do they want you to know? Because they know, wink, wink, nod, nod, that what they’re doing is widely considered cool — strictly hush hush and off the record — in the Orthodox community.
This goes for countless Orthodox rabbis in good standing in Pico-Robertson.
* Most of us want other people to love us to fill the deep ache we have because we don’t like ourselves.
* “For less mature people, so much effort goes into seeking love and approval that there is little energy left for self-determined goal-directed activity.”
* I grew up in a home where from about age six on, I could wander around alone in the bush for hours without anyone worrying. From about age nine on, I could be gone all day without anyone worrying. When we lived in DC and Baltimore when I was 14, I would sometimes just go for a walk all afternoon, no worries at home. My brother around age 15 would hitchhike all Sunday to go to stuff without any grief at home.
* So women on JSwipe and Tinder often want to know why I have never married. I get stumped. What’s the best and most pithy answer I can use?
* Thus spake Chaim Amalek : “Yidden! Let us stop being seen as the universal solvent of racial solidarity and instead espouse for the goyim the same sort of bonds of group identity we avidly seek for ourselves!”
* When I hear that someone grew up picking cotton or that their family were sharecroppers, I burst out laughing. Is that my white privilege poking out?
* “When Moshiach comes, droves of goyim will foolishly try to ‘convert’ to Judaism, thinking it as easy as sneaking over America’s border with Mexico with only a Republican Bush standing guard. But they will soon discover that conversion is more like sneaking past Israel’s fence with Sinai looking like an African.” (Chaim Amalek)
* Luke: “How was your weekend?”
Mexican Friend: “I went to a wedding.”
Luke: “Did you have mariachi singers?”
Mexican: “It was a white wedding.”
Luke: “Boring! A bunch of cold aloof people, right?”
* I admire the work ethic that leads latinos to rob the recycling bins we put out at night to steal from that which was supposed to fund city services. Only racists want to launch an assimilation campaign urging the adoption of civic virtue.
* I think I’ve got a way to limit the damage tribalists can do. Meet with the leaders of that tribal community and let them know that any member of their community who works against the interests of the US will be deported. Do the same with all tribal groups who’ve committed espionage or terrorism, including Muslims, Chinese etc. Any wayward tribesman should be given a choice of deportation or living inside the equivalent of the Torah Corral in Miami Beach or the Aleutians or Haiti or Guantonomo.
* I just thought of a great Passover gag to play on left leaning, open border Jews. Hire some homeless black dudes to hang out just outside the Jew’s home when they open the door to ask if anyone is hungry. Then in comes the homeless dudes, preferably accompanied by twenty Mexicans.
* Is it possible to have a strong tribal identity and to not feel hostility for the majority population? Of course. Are you more likely to feel hostility for the majority population the more deeply you develop your tribal identity? Of course. The stronger your tribal identity (be it as a Jew, Black, Chinese, Mexican, etc), the less strong your identity with the majority population (such as America). I remember when I was a Seventh-Day Adventist, the more deeply Adventist the identity, the less the person identified with his majority population.
* A friend says: People don’t understand what pro nazi means. I don’t hear you calling for persecution of Jews, expulsion of Jews, ghettoization of Jews, deportation of Jews, liquidation of Jews, extermination of Jews. You simply want to understand the Nazi mentality and fit it into the paradigm of tribes and peoples wanting what is best for them. That isn’t pro Nazi. That is pro-understanding.
* The Confederate flag’s original design was changed due to fear of offending Jews.
* “If you slug a cop or try to combat them they’ll kill you. That’s the rules of the game. They just say the standard ‘in fear for their life’ line, used over and over again. Cops are more robotic these days; in the old days they would just beat you up. Why I don’t know, perhaps it’s the militarization of everything, the hiring process picking a colder personality, violent video games influencing the attitudes of youth, who can tell. Cops will go ballistic when provoked and it doesn’t take much.”
* “I love it when the weak, oppressed comedian Sacha Baron Cohen ridicules the pompous, powerful peasants of Kazahkstan.”
* Comment: Exactly how oppressed have Jews been in America?
Not oppressed at all. They’ve historically been very privileged.
Back when the New York Stock Exchange was created by the signing of the Buttonwood agreement in 1792, 5 of 24 signatories were Jewish. This was at a time when less than 0.05 percent of Americans were Jewish.
Not only were Jews not excluded from the establishment back in the 1960s (Barry Goldwater was the first Jewish man on a presidential ticket), they weren’t excluded back in the 1700s either.
Here’s a quote from President George Washington:
May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.
The reason it seems like anti-semitism was pervasive in the past was because anti-black sentiment was pervasive in the past. So it seems logical to think that if Americans kept blacks out of the establishment, they behaved similarly towards Jews. The reality is that not only were Jews welcomed in, Jews were historically respected (and even mildly feared) by white gentile elites.
When Jews socialized apart from white gentiles and had their own country clubs, that was NOT because white gentiles didn’t want to socialize with Jews. It was because Jews didn’t want to socialize with gentiles. Jews have historically been very clash and often viewed socialization as a path to assimilation and intermarriage, which they feared. Eastern European Jews were historically excluded from fancier German Jewish clubs though. So when you hear stories about Jews being excluded from clubs, it was a question of Eastern Europeans being discriminated against by Germans. Not gentiles against Jews. As Steve Sailer has pointed out, Jews historically were big on eating, but didn’t care much for drinking or gold ,which were two interests of gentiles. So that’s why Eastern Euro Jews wanted to join German Jewish clubs.
As for General Grant’s order to excluded Jewish merchants from the North-South border, that order came because Jewish merchants were helping to evade the blockade of the South. That order was immediately rescinded. When he ran for president after the civil war, Grant apologized profusely to Jews. He even went on to run what many saw as the most pro-Jewish administration in the history of America. So even this incident of “anti-semitism” was actually a common sense policy that was controversial due to mid 1800s political correctness towards Jews.
It’s pretty shameful for Jews to even bring up that incident. You would think they’d feel ashamed that their community was involved in undermining the war effort against the Confederacy, but no. They’re not ashamed. It’s gentiles who are supposed to feel ashamed for trying to win the civil war.
Jews may be one of the least discriminated groups in the history of America. If you read American history, it’s striking how little anti-Jewish discrimination you’d find.
* Comment at Unz.com: Telling a joke about Jews by anyone other than Jews has always been fraught with danger, and was only successfully performed by masters of comedic delivery (witness Louis C.K. below). Since it’s all about delivery, trying it on Twitter is an incredibly bad idea.
I agree that there we’re witnessing a knee-jerk reaction right now by secular liberal Jews who are choosing to double down on traditional ideas (oh the irony) of everybody everywhere waiting with pitchforks to form pogroms out of some uncontrollable sickness with absolutely no predictability. This is much more palatable than thinking rationally about the consequences of mass immigration.
Back when Louis C.K. was younger and edgier, he walked very close to precipice:
Now he’s much more nuanced, but the genius of his comedy is that he can take a story in so many directions that the listener is amused at the controversial subject, while not being able to pinpoint if he’s poking fun of Jewish media hegemony (Schindler’s List on every channel, all the time), or stoking Jewish feelings of righteousness as the ultimate oppressed group (the “Goodbye Jew” story must be real, so Spielberg reservedly fit it in the movie).
