Stay In Your Lane!

A friend of mine was working the Sixth Step and her sponsor told her to abide by the speed limit and to stay in her lane.

I think that’s awesome advice. I would modify it to say abide by the speed limit as it is practiced. It’s unheard of to get speeding tickets for driving 43mph in a 35 mph zone. So I would say stay within ten miles per hour of the speed limit (unless you’re driving a free way where most of the traffic is going along at 15-20 mph above the speed limit, then by all means keep up with the traffic). Not weaving in and out of lanes also seems like great advice. I sent that a lot of auto accidents occur when drivers change lanes.

“Stay in your lane” is great advice for life in general, not just in traffic. I’ve gotten in trouble repeatedly over the course of my life by not staying in my lane through stupid choices such as announcing my opinion when it wasn’t sought, by doing work that my bosses didn’t want me to do while avoiding work they wanted me to do, by not knowing my place in a social interaction, by not appropriately reading cues and reacting within my lane.

* One of the guiding principles of the 12 Steps is that we relax and take it easy. So if you leave in plenty of time for your next appointment, you can relax and take it easy as you stay in your lane and obey the law.

* I’ve been taking self-defense training and I find it great for my self-esteem. I walk with more pep in my step knowing my ability to protect myself and to harm those who would harm me.

About 30 years ago, I asked someone in my family about taking a self-defense course and he said it was a waste of time. He’d rather stay out of situations that would require self-defense. But just like taking CPR training better equips you for life, self-defense training makes you more capable and responsible even if you never get in a fight. I think you’re less likely to cuck if you train.

Staying in shape and getting plenty of exercise also helps my self-esteem. Combine that with eating right (not too many carbs) and getting enough sleep and I feel good most of the time.

* The more you track something, the more you have of it (time, money, health goals). Tracking my spending, tracking my earning, tracking my times have been key to my recovery from under-achieving.

When Did The Alt Right Become Funny?

White nationalism was not funny. Nazism was not funny. How did the Alt Right become funny? I think it was the rise of Donald Trump in June of 2015, leading to the “cuckservative” slur.

4Chan had been funny for years and it was an incubator of the Alt Right. Steve Sailer has been hilarious since the 1990s and he was an incubator of the Alt Right.

Richard Spencer has been funny since 2007 and he helped to name the Alt Right in 2008. So has the Alt Right been funny since its inception in 2008 or did that develop over time?

Amren.com, Counter-Currents.com, TheOccidentalObserver.net have rarely been funny while Takimag has always been funny.

Hostiles Is A Very White Movie

I loved this 2017 western but noticed how I was emotionally manipulated to increasingly side with the Indians against the whites.

A friend says: “The trend of having the audience root against the white man began with Little Big Man, then reached its high point in Dances with Wolves and most bizarrely was applied to the human race as a whole as opposed to the aliens in Avatar.”

The white protagonist played by Christian Biale starts off hostile against the Indian Chief he has to transport but as the movie goes along, the white guy gets close to the Indians he’s guarding until the penultimate confrontation in Montana when with the Indians, he kills four white guys protecting their own land. When the white protagonist scalps the white land owner, you are manipulated to cheer. You just feel it is awesome that he identifies more with the noble Indians than with the pedantic white guys (including white guys who saved the protagonist’s life in past battles with these very Indians).

I don’t think you’d find a Jewish movie glorifying Jews siding with Nazis to kill their own kind.

I don’t think there’s anything that whites are encouraged to find more moving and exciting than siding against your own people in a fight.

From Yahoo:

The three are forced to band together to overcome the punishing landscape and the Comanche bandits on their tail during a 1,500-mile trek across the perilous American frontier.
“For me really it was about two disparate men with very different world views who come together over the course of the narrative to offer one another a bit of reconciliation and hope. God knows, we need that in America now,” Cooper told AFP.
“I hope, if anything, it sparks a conversation about how we all need to come together and understand each other a bit better and the story is truly a journey of the soul for the characters.”…

Not all critics, however, have been convinced about the movie’s progressive bona fides, with several pointing out that the white actors get all the best lines and complex characterization.
The point is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that, in a story about fractious white-native relations in the American West, it is English actors Bale and Pike who are attracting all the early Oscar buzz.
Variety reviewer Peter Debruge accused “Hostiles” of treating its native characters as little more than one-dimensional “abstract plot devices” depicted as “ruthless savages or as stoic sages.”
Critics have also called out the movie for drawing a false equivalence between individual native attacks such as the Comanche ambush in the prologue and government-sanctioned genocide.
Cooper, however, insists he went to great lengths to understand the “language, customs and mores” of his native characters, employing Cheyenne cultural advisors to ensure he got it right.
“It was very important for me to represent Native American life in an extremely authentic but dignified manner,” he told AFP.

Gender Offenders

Steve Sailer writes:

The founder of the Skunk Works, Kelly Johnson, America’s most famous aeronautical engineer, married a girl in the Lockheed accounting department in 1937. When she was dying in 1969, she explained to Kelly that he was too busy to take care of himself, so she had arranged for him to marry his secretary, which he did. When his second wife was dying, she in turn found a third wife for him.

When my mother was dying, she told my father to marry his secretary when she was gone, which is what he did.

JPOST: SWEDISH DAUGHTER OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR FACES DEPORTATION FROM ISRAEL

From the Jerusalem Post:

The Swedish daughter of a Holocaust survivor faces deportation from Israel next week, based on claims that she was baptized as a baby and has ties to a messianic organization.

Rebecca Floer, 64, has been living parttime in northern Israel on a renewed tourist visa for the past three years. But after she applied to immigrate to Israel, not only was her application denied, but her tourist visa was shortened and she received notice that she must leave the country by this coming Sunday.

Comments at the Jerusalem Post:

* She’s a missionary. She’s not wanted. And whats more she should be violently resisted.

* This woman is not Jewish. By Jewish law she is not Jewish , and she never lived Jewish life. What more, she is a missionary. That is a no no in Israel.

* If it’s true that she’s a Christian missionary hiding in “Jewish” clothes, she should be booted. But if she’s a Jew returning to her roots, she should stay. The facts should dictate this.

* What a distorted, lying article ! Not only that she is not jewish, she is a christian missionary, working hard to decimate the jewish people through conversions. She is an enemy.

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* As the Israeli supreme court ruled in the Brother Daniel case (back in 1960 or so), Jewish converts to Christianity are an existential threat to the Jewish people and can be prevented from immigrating.

It is simple, common sense: the Nation — every nation — should determine which other religions, races, and ethnies are a threat, prevent them from immigrating, and expel them if there is any way possible.

* The comments in this newspaper article are so revealing. If one takes them them at face value there are plenty of (Israeli) Jews who hate gentiles and if it was the other way around have opinions which would be characterised as hate crime in Western countries.

* How do the open borders whack jobs in Congress square these two facts:

1. The United States cannot be allowed to adopt an Israeli-style immigration policy because that policy is racist.

2. The United States should continue to send Israel over $3 billion/year in foreign aid.

If I propose reducing legal immigration and enforcing laws against illegal immigration I am a racist. And if I propose eliminating US aid to Israel, even if it’s on the grounds of objecting to their immigration policy, I am also a racist.

I dare an American politician to use the term “illegal infiltrator.” Democrats, of course, love to pretend to be anti-Israel when it suits them, so that wouldn’t work. The proper place to use it would be in front of open borders Republican – perhaps Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham or Sheldon Adelson.

* Israel is the first First World nation north of eastern Africa on the land route.

* This brings back traumatic memories of the year I spent in East Orange, in the early middle 1970s, as the city began its decline from a pleasant White suburb to a mostly Negro hellhole. When I first got to East Orange there was a pleasant and well-stocked urban supermarket. Then, a few months after my arrival, I noticed the appearance of Negroes, openly stealing and vandalizing as they “shopped”. Before I left the market shut its doors but first not before newly arrived Negroes had trashed the place into a shambles. When I first arrived I felt comfortable walking along Prospect Street, a main drag, at any time of the day. By the time I left Negro harassment might occur at any time. To anyone who has not experienced it, the rapidity with which an influx of the Negro underclass can destroy a neighborhood or city is incomprehensible. The Oranges were once renowned for the quality of their schools. My guess is they began a steady decline starting at about the time I left.

* My point is to close ranks like the Jews do. Jews are successful for a reason. Be ruthless about in-group interests like the Jews are. Conceal advancement of group interests behind something like tikkun olam.

The challenge for Whites will be how to employ the double strategy that Jews do — claim they’re “White” when it’s advantageous, then claim they’re “Jews” when it’s not. Hard for a White to claim he’s a Somali or Paki.

* I recall a post from a while back, where Japanese that spoke English were much friendlier to globalism than those that didn’t. Perhaps the Israeli Jews that only speak Hebrew are disconnected from the liberal English speakers in America.

* Their [Israel] Supreme Court is notable in that its is the only government branch where Arabs have representation. The Arabs in the Knesset obviously don’t count when even Labor won’t agree to appoint them to the Cabinet should they win.

It should not be outrageous for the US right to demand that Israel appoint even a token few Christians into the Israeli Cabinet, as the price for continued military subsidies. It would be even better to demand that Arab Christians in Lebanon are not legitimate military targets, as they were in 2006.

* Our host with the most, Steven Sailer, has pointed out that even affluent black neighborhoods have lousy schools, e.g., Prince Georges County in Maryland.

* Jewish religious doctrine, although fascinating, is not my main interest. I’m more keen to observe (and emulate) how Jews create a strong in-group orientation and obtain positions of privilege living as aliens in an ostensibly hostile society. That would be useful for my group as we become a minority in Diversity America.
