Vox: How the alt-right’s sexism lures men into white supremacy The movement’s many online communities prey on male insecurity to advance a racist political agenda.

In other words, community builds up in-group identity. Joining a soccer club can build white community and white supremacy.

Vox:

Most white men who become radicalized into the alt-right start out in search of some like-minded friends.
Though various branches of the movement are often at odds with one another, they share a number of core beliefs — and a common meme-flavored vernacular — that serve to unite them in what is sometimes called “the manosphere.” This realm includes the “men’s rights” movement, pickup artist culture (a community of men also labeled “PUAs” that essentially makes a game of the art of bedding women), “incels” (men who are “involuntarily celibate” because they feel women reject them), and geek gatekeepers like supporters of the Gamergate movement.
On the surface, PUA communities and incel communities have a lot of generic appeal: The PUA lifestyle emphasizes self-esteem and confidence building along with physical health, while the incel community allows men to bond over their struggle to achieve all of the above in spite of their sour luck with women. Meanwhile, gamers and geeks habitually tout the importance of gaming in providing social interaction for young men.
These spaces foster the kind of male friendship whose importance doesn’t get a lot of attention in the real world. But the benefits of their existence are often accompanied (and sometimes negated) by their tendency to instill in their members a newfound articulation of fundamental anxiety over their position as men in a society where women are actively seeking empowerment.
And in building its membership from so many different communities of white men who ultimately feel threatened and rejected by women, the movement promotes a sense of male entitlement that is easily radicalized into white nationalism and white supremacy.

TEARS WE CANNOT STOP: A Sermon to White America By Michael Eric Dyson

Posted on January 8, 2017 by Luke Ford

Carlos Lozada writes for the Washington Post:

“Hey, fellow white guys! It’s about to be a new year. And there’s a few things we think you can do a little bit better in 2017.”
Thus began MTV News’s “2017 New Years Resolutions for White Guys,” one of the Internet’s most transcendentally awful experiments in wishful viral-video-making of the past year. In the 88-second clip, various young MTV staffers, spanning multiple ethnicities, proceed to lecture “white guys” for their offenses to liberal identity politics, such as mansplaining, suggesting that all lives matter and saying “woke.”
The video grates, both for its pedantic, generalizing message and because it was obviously created with the expectation of countless shares among knowing lefties. Instead, the mockery and backlash was such that MTV took it down less than 48 hours later.
I wish they’d kept it up, owned it. Because, if 2016 was the year of rediscovering the political power of the Deplorable White Male, 2017 may become the year of attempting to sway, co-opt, educate, overanalyze or shame that class. Some attempts will backfire. (I’m looking at you, MTV News.) Another, Michael Eric Dyson’s new book, “Tears We Cannot Stop,” is more thoughtful yet far more angry, mingling insight, righteousness and harshness.

Parasha Vayechi (Genesis 47:28–50:26)

Posted on January 8, 2017 by Luke Ford

Listen.

Wikipedia: “Vaychi, or Vayhi (וַיְחִי‎ — Hebrew for “and he lived,” the first word of the parashah) is the twelfth weekly Torah portion (פָּרָשָׁה‎, parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the last in the Book of Genesis. The parashah tells of Jacob’s request for burial in Canaan, Jacob’s blessing of Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh, Jacob’s blessing of his sons, Jacob’s death and burial, and Joseph’s death. The parashah constitutes Genesis 47:28–50:26.”

* Why do Jews like Joseph keep rising to the top of gentile societies?

* I wonder if Jews in ancient Egypt ran the banks and the media. Did they develop the Egyptian dream? Did they lecture on the meaning of Egyptian identity? Did they write op-eds about how as Egyptians, they supported this or that? Did they push multiculturalism? How did the Egyptians feel about all this?

* Ties of blood and soil seem to be the essence of Torah and of gentile nationalisms.

* It is an important exercise to try to see things from the other person’s point of view. For instance, for me to try to see my life from the perspective of my father or mother pr brother or sister or ex-gf or ex employer, etc. What about seeing the Torah from the perspective of Egyptians or Amalekites or other non-Jews? What is good for one group is often bad for other groups as all groups are competing for scarce resources.

http://www.lukeford.net/blog/?p=67695 Luke Ford talks to Robert Stark about the following:
* If I Were A Gentile White Nationalist, How Would I Feel About Jews?
* If I Were A Black Gentile, How Would I Feel About Jews? http://www.lukeford.net/blog/?p=67680
* If I Were Born An Orthodox Jew, How Would I Feel About Converts Like Luke Ford? http://www.lukeford.net/blog/?p=67671
* If you were a Muslim, how would you feel about Jews? http://www.lukeford.net/blog/?p=67647

Kahanist Won’t Defend Montana Jews Against Neo-Nazi March
Supporters of the far-right Jewish Defense League, an extremist group angling for a resurgence in the wake of Donald Trump’s election, say they are sympathetic to the white nationalism of the “alt-right” — and have no plans to push back against an anti-Jewish march planned in Whitefish, Montana by a neo-Nazi.
At a New York event for the late JDL leader Meir Kahane, organizer Jonathan Stern told Haaretz that “alt-right” figurehead Richard Spencer was “a white nationalist who stands up for white people and there is nothing wrong with that.”
Kahane sympathizer Stern called the activist group in Whitefish “a liberal organization” that was “intimidating” Spencer’s mother. “I think that was very low,” he said.
Stern said that there was no budget for Kahanist activists in New York to get there and said there have been no attempts to reach out to Jews in Whitefish.
“So they provoked this guy, and now there is all this response, by white people, and white supremacists, and neo Nazis, and they want to march in the Jewish Community,” Stern said.
“And so I’m trying to figure out what is going on, because if Jews are being targeted, we need to stand up for them. But if this is a response to a liberal organization, it’s a different story,” Stern said. “They started it, let them deal with the consequences.”

* Chapter 49 is Jacob’s revenge on his kids as he lets loose what he really thinks.

* After Joseph dies, he is “gathered to his people.” If you said a Christian was gathered to his people, what would that mean?

* Casey: “Why is Jacob too good to be buried in Egypt? When he prophesies that Judah will tie his donkey to the finest vine or whatever… is that a sycophantic thing, or by merit? Historical question: what year was all this happening–I’m wondering if it coincides with the diminishing of Egypt–that is, did welcoming the Jews into their society turn out to be a bad move (if not, why did the next pharaoh start killing them all?)”

Luke: Because blood and soil matter. Jews have a special relationship with a certain section of land — Israel. Jacob wanted to remind his children that Egypt was not their home. The Jewish commentator Meshech Chochmah wrote of the assimilated Jews of the 19th Century: “They substituted Berlin for Jerusalem.”

Judah is praised for his merits.

Wikipedia: “Judah offers himself to Jacob as surety for Benjamin’s safety, and manages to persuade Jacob to let them take Benjamin to Egypt. When the brothers return, Joseph tests them by demanding the enslavement of Benjamin. Judah pleads for Benjamin’s life.”

Egypt declined about 3000 years ago:

It’s strange to think that during Egypt’s New Kingdom period 3,500 to 3,000 years ago, this same nation was one of the most advanced on the planet. Egypt was an ancient superpower whose reach extended from Sudan in the south to the edge of modern Turkey in the north, with a powerhouse economy and masterful builders and artists. Historian Amelie Kuhrt has described the Egypt of that time as “unrivaled in wealth and pomp.”

Empires decline when they bring people into them who are of different genetic stock than those who made the empire great.

Dennis Prager says that Jews are alive and that the Egyptian empire is dead because Judaism has God and ancient Egypt did not. A genetic explanation would say that Jews have been more careful about who they let into their gene pool than the ancient Egyptians.

Atheist Kevin MacDonald read the Old Testament and concluded that the “God” of the Bible is the Jewish gene pool.

Does bringing Jews into a society always create prosperity or problems? I think the answer is all about time and place. Jews aren’t an awesome addition to every society. A society structred along the lines of race and religion is likely not a good fit for Jews because they have neither racial nor religious ties with the majority. On the other hand, Jews have prospered and never been slaughtered in WASP countries.

* In Egypt, if you interpreted a dream correctly, you were credited with not just predicting the future, but with helping to carry it out.

* Torah is clear that the land of Israel belongs to the people Israel.

* What shapes moral character? What happens when your religious faith grows or declines? I think faith binds and blinds. It strengthens your in-group identity.

My past show notes:

* Rabbi Berel Wein writes: “The book of Bereshith ends this week on a seemingly upbeat note. The family of Yaakov, united and now more numerous, live in an apparently friendly Egyptian environment, rather smugly protected by their political influence and their growing wealth.”

“The 130 years of good times in Egypt enabled the Jews to somehow survive the eighty years of slavery and persecution. Spanish Jewry enjoyed a “golden age” of centuries before its three century decline into expulsion and forced apostasy. Polish Jews also enjoyed hundreds of years of autonomy and governmental favor and protection before declining in the three centuries which ended with its destruction.”

* Rabbi Berel Wein writes: “As troubling as it is not to know the future it is perhaps even more troubling to know it. It is only the ignorance of the future that allows humans somehow to exploit the present and live a productive life.”

* I learned in daf yomi (Talmud study) that while it is generally a bad idea for somebody to immediately marry after the death of a spouse or after a divorce, in certain circumstances it is acceptable. For instance, if you need a wife to look after your kids. I heard about one rabbi who buried his wife in the cemetery and then immediately married another wife in that same cemetery that same day.

* Rabbi Wein writes: “How easy and understandable it would have been for any of our patriarchs and matriarchs to have become disappointed and disillusioned by the events of their lives. Yet their ultimate faith, that truth will survive and triumph, dominates the entire narrative of this first book of the Torah. Bereshith sets the pattern for everything that will follow.”

* Rabbi Wein writes: “From all indications in the Talmud and in Geonic literature, borrowing books for studious use was very commonplace in Jewish life. In fact, the rabbis spoke out against those who refused to lend their books to others, seeing in this protectiveness of ownership a hindrance to the spread of the study and knowledge of Torah. Rabbinic responsa is replete with issues and liabilities regarding borrowing books and the respective problems that surely emanate from such a policy of liberal lending of books to others.”

I’ve always been careful to return borrowed books in good condition. It shocks me that if you lend a book or anything to somebody, most of the time you don’t get it back. I remember lending some movies to a guy after shul, a fellow Australian, and he never returned them! I appeared in one of the movies! It was my only copy. And every time I would run into him, he would joke about being sorry for not returning the movies and by this time, I did not want to be reminded that I had ever lent him such movies. I was ashamed. And to have lent them to him after temple! Oy vey!

Rabbi Wein writes: “The greatest book borrowers from the Jewish people have been the two other major monotheistic religions, Christianity and Islam. Christianity borrowed the so-called “Old Testament” whole cloth from the Jews. It is ironic in the extreme that the gratitude shown by the borrower to the lender of this basis of monotheistic belief and worldview has been expressed in unending centuries of enmity, discrimination and persecution. While Islam never borrowed our book totally it certainly borrowed its contents.”

“The Koran and Moslem beliefs generally – as distinct from its practices and rituals – are based almost entirely on the values and ideas of the Torah. It has also, over the centuries, shown a great reluctance to acknowledge that a large part of its library consists of borrowed books. In fact, this is true about a great many of the principles of Western Civilization. There is nothing wrong in borrowing books, ideas, culture and knowledge. The wrong comes when the borrowing is not acknowledged, recognized and/or appreciated.”

* Rabbi Wein writes: “Sometimes in life, the greatest gift and blessing that a parent can give to a child is the criticism of that child’s traits and weaknesses so that these faults may yet be corrected and improved upon.”

That’s what I appreciate about Rabbi Rabbs. He’s not afraid to point out to people their faults.

* I had a girlfriend. I always wanted on Friday nights to make the blessing over her that fathers make over daughters but she was not into it. Nor would she call me daddy. She wouldn’t let me tickle her either. No wonder things didn’t work out between us.

* Rabbi Wein writes: “One of my great teachers in the yeshiva that I attended long ago defined success in life to us as follows: If your grandparents and your grandchildren are both proud of you and your accomplishments, then you can claim success in life.”

NYT: Chicago Hate Crime Wasn’t Anti-white or Anti-Trump, It Was Anti-intellectually-disabled

Posted on January 7, 2017 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Totem-Pole theory explains America.

Blacks sit on the top of the Totem Pole. The mentally handicapped come a few icons down – below women.

* I don’t think the NYT ever did get around to reporting that Kitty Genovese was murdered by a black sexual savage. After all, who wanted to kill the feel good buzz of liberals in 1964 so soon after the self-congratulatory march on DC by so many thousands of apologists for black social dysfunction demanding the federal codification of black privilege. Instead, the NYT blamed Kitty’s death on sleeping white neighbors and invented the so-called “bystander effect.”

* No, gays sit on the top, followed by Jews (obviously there is a lot of overlap). In fact, I can remember the exact moment gays displaced blacks in the number one slot; when Obama announced his party was going to push for gay marriage to a crowd of Black pastors, and told them to get with the program or their gravy train ends. They looked so crestfallen, haha.

* So they’re saying disabled people get kidnapped and tortured for days on end all of the time without having it recorded? That’s not very plausible. Note the mentality of the perps where tormenting a captive white person is such great fun and sport that they thought sharing the experience with their homies was a good idea, earning them status points within their community. Reflects badly on the black mentality so lets steer attention away from the fact this was a group effort with a larger audience in the background watching and being amused.

The black police chief didn’t want to state the obvious and waffled on calling it a hate crime. The new State’s Attorney is a black woman who campaigned on fairer treatment for black criminals and who has no experience in running anything let alone such a large organization so not much can be expected from them. Last night’s television news and today’s print media featured an important story about how a Dairy Queen franchise owner in Zion used a racial slur against a querulous black customer. Protest and boycott called for and headquarters is moved to act. This is big news, someone called someone else a name. Just bring up a bunch of these stories along with the hoax crimes and the original story can be crowded out. Big media have gotten really shameless.

* Please. Let’s keep this in perspective. The NYT deserves a bit more credit. The perps were just “having some fun with a retard”, that’s all. Ghetto Negros do it all the time to each other. On a daily basis. Brutally establishing dominance (and enforcing submission in others) is hardwired in them. Sensing weakness in an instant and making a quick bite at the throat is an irresistible impulse. It’s actually beneficial to them: the attack on the white boy likely boosted the perps’ testosterone levels and increased their Darwinian fitness.

The reason Chicago cops, politicians, reporters and activists didn’t hyperventilate over this incident is because they know this on a visceral level. They live it every single day. From their experience (700 Chicago homicides, 4500 Chicago shootings in 2016), this white boy got off easy.

Accept Negros as they are for what they are and avoid them. You will be much happier. They will be happier, too … and you won’t go bankrupt trying to change them into ersatz white folks. It’s a waste of time, money and angst. I call it respecting Human Bio-Diversity.

* Society will continue to see crimes like this until the average person wises up and learns the same information about sociopaths that psychologists have known since the 1960s. They have no conscience and are not reformable. Generally, they’re committing serious crimes by their mid-to-late teens, and they often start committing felonies before they’ve reached legal age. Jailing them is a waste of time and money. We would be better off executing them, but soggy modern sentiment says it’s horrible to execute kids who commit vile acts even though these kids will never be anything except monsters. The best way to deal with it is to abort them before they’re ever been born. This is why the Republican plan to defund Planned Parenthood is asinine. We’re going to have an explosion of black crime several years down the line when the little black thugs grow up if we ban black abortion.

People say broken families breed crime. That’s wrong. They need to go a generation further back. There’s something very obvious here that just isn’t occurring to people. Two people who decide to have sex without birth control and who don’t give a damn that they have a kid, and who don’t give a damn about supporting that kid by getting jobs are sociopaths. Sociopaths are obsessed with indulging themselves with life’s pleasures and they have zero sense of responsibility. That’s classic sociopathic behavior. When two parents carry these genes, they pass them onto their kid. When the kid commits crimes, the kid is just expressing the parents’ sociopathic genes, and these genes have been in their bloodlines for thousands upon thousands of generations. Blacks in America are barbaric, and so are blacks in Africa. No one should be surprised by this.

The only solution is to abort any kid in the womb with a father who refuses to hang around and support that kid, and sterilize that mother. That’s the only way to get these detrimental sociopathic genes out of the human bloodline. We need to think in very practical, genetic terms here.

Will There Be A Coup Against Trump?

Posted on January 7, 2017 by Luke Ford

I was talking to friends:

* It appears that although there is a shrill not insubstantial minority of Democrats who want to go down fighting against Donald Trump, Trump is consolidating his position and even a majority of Democrats want him to succeed. Today Elon Musk is meeting with Bannon and Miller who are Trump’s top policy guys. Since most of Musk’s ongoing business (Tesla, Space and Solar) have substantial subsidies from the Federal government, I would imagine that Musk is taking the position that he is helping America lead the way in innovative technology and that the government should continue its favorable policies toward Musk’s enterprises for the prestige involved.

* Some observers (Paul Craig Roberts for example) believe that the actions since the election against Trump are designed not just to discredit Trump and to undermine his legitimacy, but as a precursor to a coup. Certainly the leaks from the intelligence community about Russian involvement in the election are designed to imply (a) that but for the hacking of Podesta’s emails (which are conflated to “hacking the election” which has led a majority of Democrats to believe the Russians actually interfered tabulating the votes cast so as to insure Trump’s victory) Trump would have lost the election and (b) that Trump is a traitor because (i) he may have cooperated with or had knowledge of what the Russians were doing and (ii) he has cast doubt on the both the motives and conclusions of the intelligence agencies. There is a great deal of information out there that suggests that the emails were not hacked by the Russians, that the leaks are politically motivated and that the timing of the blame cast on Russia is designed to cause Trump problem by splitting him off from the zealous anti Russian wing of the Republican party exemplified by Lindsay Graham and John McCain. In any event, one has to wonder how such a coup could take place. The easiest way to engineer a coup would be for Trump to be killed. Perhaps this is the reason that Trump has retained his private security services in addition to the Secret Service protection he gets.

Certainly Mike Pence is not someone who shares many policy positions with Trump and would govern in a markedly different way, probably along the lines of how he has governed in Indiana, in other words what now passes for traditionally conservative in the Republican party, a mix of Koch Brothers anti regulatory libertarianism, Paul Ryan budget cutting of entitlements and tax cuts for the wealthy, and the chamber of commerce positions on immigration and TPP. However, if sufficient “evidence” surfaces that Trump is in fact a traitor, it would not be that much of a stretch for Obama to invoke his powers as commander in chief, to put the country under martial law to prevent Trump from succeeding him. To that extent Trump has helped himself by respected Generals to top positions, notably Mattis as secretary of defense. Trump did get huge cheers when he attended the army navy game and he is much more popular than Obama among the troops. Obama has purged many generals and put in generals who are more aligned with him politically, but I cannot see them falling into line on something as serious as martial law whose purpose is to prevent Trump from becoming president.

* It is pretty funny watching the news media oppose and attempt to diminish everything Trump has done. When American companies have decided to expand here and bring foreign operations home, and foreign companies have decided to invest here, Trump’s influence in those decisions is played down. Trump is also criticized for interfering in the free market. These are not positions the press would ever take with a Democrat. When the Republicans pulled their bill to gut the independent ethics watchdog only after Trump tweeted against it, his involvement was played down as made only after Congress decide to withdraw the bill (false) and only after public opinion forced his hand. Again, the press would not take this position had the party been the Democrats

Mike Enoch and Andrew Anglin talk to Richard Spencer about his Texas A&M event.

Posted on January 6, 2017 by Luke Ford

This is a darkly funny podcast from Dec. 20.

I thought there would be more hatred of Jews on the show with the Daily Stormer but that is hardly mentioned.

Richard Spencer: “The first time a goy defeated a Jew in a verbal duel in 200 years.”

Andrew Anglin: “Even Hitler lamented that he couldn’t defeat a Jew in a verbal argument.”

Southern Poverty Law Center: Richard Spencer seems to have given up on putting a spin for reporters on what happened during the National Policy Institute conference last month, when his supporters responded to a toast by throwing stiff-arm Nazi salutes to the stage with cries of “Hail Trump!”

In the media maelstrom that followed, Spencer was quick to dismiss criticisms that his suit-and-tie class of racists had gone fall-on Nazi by claiming the salutes were simply a misunderstood expression of “exuberance and irony.” But it’s almost impossible to believe that now.

Last week, Spencer sat down for an interview with two leading extremists on the “Alt-Right”: Mike Enoch who runs TheRightStuff.biz blog and Andrew Anglin, whose website The Daily Stormer –– a site that has surpassed the popularity long held by Don Black’s Stormfront –– traffics in endlessly vile anti-Semitic memes and heralds President-elect Donald Trump as “Our Glorious Leader.” The interview was posted on Enoch’s blog under the title “Between Two Lampshades,” a crude reference to the post-World War II myth that the skin of victims of the Buchenwald concentration camp had been used to make lampshades.

Calling the interview the first meeting of the “The Triumvirate,” the conversation turns on discussing their hopes for a new America under Trump and the possibilities of an ethnostate that would halt illegal immigration and give way to an all-out assault on immigration from any non-European nation. (It’s worth noting that all three are in favor of eugenics and IQ tests to determine the suitability of people to be citizens.)

In clear terms, the interview was a public relations effort for the newly united front between Spencer, a trust fund beneficiary, Anglin, an internet troll known for bragging in a video leaked online about his “jailbait,” Filipino girlfriend, and an obscure New York blogger who frequently appears on Spencer’s podcast. But Spencer seems to be willing to forge an alliance with the very factions of the Alt-Right he has tried to distance himself from using his family’s wealth and his own educational pedigree.

Republicans, Democrats & Zionists

Posted on January 6, 2017 by Luke Ford

Paul Gottfried writes:

Lately I’ve been watching the blossoming lovefest between the conservative-Republican establishment and those on the Left who are raging over the Obama administration’s reaction to the UN resolution against Israel. Arguably, this resolution was an attempt to take away Israel’s bargaining chips in negotiating with the Palestinians. The UN Security Council, which passed the resolution, made unmistakably clear that Israel is illegally occupying both East Jerusalem and the territory on the West Bank that had been taken during the Six Day War. The resolution may also have the effect of justifying terrorist acts designed to dislodge Israelis from areas that they’re no longer supposed to be occupying. Finally it challenges Israeli claims to East Jerusalem, although there is no chance that the Israeli government will acquiesce in making Jerusalem once again a divided city.

Although some of the reactions coming from Republican publicists and politicians have bordered on the hysterical or histrionic, I won’t disagree that the US might have done better by not lobbying for the troublesome resolution, which it appears is the case. And I wouldn’t question the view of the Israeli Premier that the Trump administration would have handled the resolution differently. Trump undoubtedly would have taken a different course, as he indicated in a tweet. But to move on to other matters: I’m appalled by how Fox-news and other disseminators of GOP party-lines have been fawning on leftist politicians and celebrities who share their “indignation” over the Obama administration’s treatment of the Israeli premier. Since the passage of the fateful resolution, we’ve been inundated by expressions of friendship from GOP celebrities for liberal Democrats who have now turned against Obama. For example, Chuck Schumer, Elliot Engel, and Kirsten Gillibrand are all outraged by how the outgoing president has turned on the “only democracy in the Middle East.” As a sign of the new relationship between us and them, we were treated last week on Fox news to a bathetic interview with a longtime political leftist and a bosom buddy of Obama, Alan Dershowitz. In this memorable interview Dershowitz explained how the President betrayed the Jewish people after assuring him that “I’ll have the back of Israel.” This may have been one of the great acting moment in the life of a seventy-eight year old courtroom performer. And the people in the studio were lapping it up.

Let me point out the obvious. Those who are being celebrated by Fox News, New York Post, and Wall Street Journal are mostly Democratic politicians representing heavily or disproportionately Jewish constituencies. Their reaction to what happened with the UN resolution was as predictable as the fact that North Carolina Senators vote for tobacco subsidies. Alan Dershowitz throughout his career has been a left-leaning Democrat but also a committed Zionist. Only a fool would have expected him not to take the side of Israel, even against a left liberal administration that he has tirelessly defended. Why the interviewer on Fox-news and her colleagues were awash in compassion for Dershowitz as he whined on about how Obama let him down, is something I still can’t get my head around.

Do Republican commentators and TV producers really think they can make pals of liberal Democrats simply because they all oppose the UN resolution on Israel? If that is the case, then these Republicans must be hopeless fools. Once the Obama administration’s failure to veto that resolution fades from the news, Schumer, Dershowitz and the other protestors will become the relentless opponents of the heartless, xenophobic, homophobic, racist Republicans once again. Don’t expect them to assist the Trump administration in replacing Obamacare or support the candidates for the Supreme Court whom President Trump will likely nominate. And because Schumer and the others are accidentally taking the same side on the UN resolution as Evangelical Christians, don’t expect them to respect the religious liberties of those who out of conscience refuse to cater gay weddings. Needless to say, these pro-Israel Democrats will be hot to trot for allowing men who have just changed their gender preference to enter shower facilities previously reserved for young women.

Australian Conservatism after Abbott: The Need for Social Movements

Posted on January 6, 2017 by Luke Ford

Frank Salter writes:

Following the replacement of Tony Abbott by Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister, some conservatives are asking what can be done to recover political influence. What can they do to make a conservative leader again?

The question is predicated on the dubious premise that the Abbott government was in fact conservative. They were better economic managers than Labor, but beyond that their conservatism was ambivalent at best. On most of the big conservative issues they failed abysmally. Yes, they stopped the (illegal migrant) boats, and that was important, but they acquiesced or actually participated in what Greg Sheridan describes as the “cultural genocide” of Anglo Australia.1 Tony Abbott’s alleged conservatism rested to a significant extent on his supposed Anglophilia. But conservative do not kill the thing they love.

Immigration and Refugees

As a minister in the Howard government, 1996-2007, and as Prime Minister from 2013 to 2015, Tony Abbott supported a non-discriminatory immigration policy that has helped reduce Australia’s Anglo and Western character and introduce the many ills of “diversity.” This would be understandable for a revolutionary intent on destroying national identity and cohesion in order to break resistance to some utopian scheme. But no conservative worthy of the name, in any country, is willing to remove immigration restriction, for to do so is to break tradition, continuity and cohesion. Tony Abbott and his mentor, former Prime Minister John Howard, became radicalised on immigration policy in the 1990s, and Australia is suffering the consequences.

Steve Sailer: Why Do Poles Not Understand That European Values Require Europhobia?

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes: It’s quite a story in Wikipedia, which I’ll rearrange to avoid premature spoilerization:

Simon Mol
Simon Mol (6 November 1973 in Buea, Cameroon – 10 October 2008) was the pen name of Simon Moleke Njie, a Cameroon-born journalist, writer and anti-racist political activist. In 1999 he sought political asylum in Poland; it was granted in 2000, and he moved to Warsaw, where he became a well-known anti-racist campaigner.
Mol was born into an English-speaking family in Cameroon. His autobiography states that he worked as a journalist; was persecuted and jailed for his writing; sought political asylum in several African countries; and was granted asylum in Ghana, where he was persecuted again. …
In June 1999 he arrived in Poland as a member of the Ghanaian PEN Club delegation to a PEN annual congress in Warsaw. Immediately, Njie applied for asylum, which was granted in September 2000.
In Poland Simon Mol wrote poems, founded a small theatre, and engaged in political campaigns for the rights of mostly African and Chechen refugees, anti-racism, anti-fascism and environmental protection. …
His activities brought attention to presumed racial discrimination in Poland, with him filing reports to Amnesty International about the alleged institutional racism.
He was a football player in the Mazur Karczew football team. One of the matches that he organized himself for his all-Black team was against Polonia Warszawa, according to the bulletin of the Polish Humanitarian Organisation.
He later used his sports team for political campaigns.
He became an advisor with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a journalist of The Warsaw Voice, the secretary general of Association of Refugees in the Republic of Poland, the chief editor of “The Voice of the Refugee” (“Głos Uchodźców”)
In 2005 he organized a conference with Black ambassadors in Poland to protest the claims in an article in Wiedza i Życie by Adam Leszczyński about AIDS problems in Africa, which quoted research stating that a majority of African women were unable to persuade their HIV positive husbands to wear condoms, and so later got caught HIV themselves. Mol accused Leszczyński of prejudice because of this publication.
As a cultural representative of the international anti-racist sports campaigns organized by UEFA, he was sent to conferences in Italy and the UK.
In 2003, he received the award “Antifascist of the Year” given by the Nigdy Więcej (“Never Again”) anti-rasism association.
In 2004, on behalf of the President of Poland, he was nominated for the Sergio Vieira de Mello Prize, alongside the ex-PM Tadeusz Mazowiecki and other Polish luminaries, for “rebuilding peace in post-conflict communities”, under the patronage of the High Commissioner of the United Nations for Refugees, among other institutions.
Honorary member of the British International Pen Club Centre.
In 2006 Mol received the prestigious award “Oxfam Novib/PEN Award for Freedom of Expression”.
In February 2006, further to his partner’s request for him to take an HIV test, Mol declined and published a post on his blog explaining why not:
Character assassination isn’t a new phenomenon. However, it appears here the game respects no rules. It wouldn’t be superfluous to state that there is an ingrained, harsh and disturbing dislike for Africans here. The accusation of being HIV positive is the latest weapon that as an African your enemy can raise against you. This ideologically inspired weapon, is strengthened by the day with disturbing literature about Africa from supposed-experts on Africa, some of whom openly boast of traveling across Africa in two weeks and return home to write volumes. What some of these hastily compiled volumes have succeeded in breeding, is a social and psychological conviction that every African walking the street here is supposedly HIV positive, and woe betide anyone who dares to unravel the myth being put in place.
On the 3rd of January 2007 Mol was taken into custody by the Polish police and charged with infecting his sexual partners with HIV.
In Poland, Mol was accused of knowingly spreading the HIV virus and was charged in the cases of eleven women and remanded in custody.
After his arrest, Mol stated he had no knowledge of being an HIV carrier and accused the police of racism.
According to the Rzeczpospolita newspaper, he was diagnosed with HIV back in 1999 while living in a refugee shelter, but Polish law does not force an HIV carrier to reveal his or her disease status.
According to the police inspector who was investigating his case, a witness stated that Mol refused to wear condoms during sex. An anonymous witness in one case said that he accused a girl who demanded he should wear them that she was racist because as he was Black she thought he must be infected with HIV. After sexual intercourse he used to say to his female partners that his sperm was sacred.
In an unusual move, his photo with an epidemiological warning, was ordered to be publicly displayed by the then Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro. MediaWatch, a body that monitors alleged racism, quickly denounced this decision, asserting that it was a breach of ethics with racist implications, as the picture had been published before any court verdict. They saw it as evidence of institutional racism in Poland, also calling for international condemnation.
South African Press Association (SAPA) and Agence France Presse in their article described him as “a darling of Poland’s liberal press” due to his political campaigns Thus some of his victims were reportedly intimidated and threatened and Polish police delayed his arrest for long because of his political connections, thus allowing him to infect new victims.
On 6 March 2007 newspaper Rzeczpospolita published an article on Simon Mol (Na tropie oszusta Simona Mola by Bertold Kittel and Maja Narbutt in co-operation with Anna Machowska from TVN), stating that his biography was fabricated. An editor of the Cameroonian English language weekly The Sketch denied that Njie worked there; his mother said he was employed at a refinery; didn’t write about government corruption in Cameroon; and was not jailed in 1996. A representative of Ghanaian journalists said that while in Ghana Njie published newspaper articles about football and was never arrested in that country.
Mol was put on trial in July 2008, but the trial was suspended when Mol’s health deteriorated. Due to this and previous procedural delays, at this point the case on behalf of his victims was taken over by the then current minister of Education and Deputy PM Roman Giertych, who demanded that the case be requalified as intentional murder and demanded life sentence for Mol, thus increasing the profile of the case.
After police published Mol’s photo and an alert before the start of court proceedings, Warsaw HIV testing centers were “invaded by young women”. A few said that they knew Mol. Some of the HIV tests have been positive. According to the police inspector who had been monitoring the tests and the case: “Some women very quickly started to suffer drug-resistant tonsillitis and fungal infections. They looked wasted, some lost as many as 15 kilograms and were deeply traumatized, impeding us taking the witness statements. 18 additional likely victims have been identified thereby”. Genetic tests of the virus from the infectees and Simon proved that it was specific to Cameroon. …
… However, Mol’s trial was suspended due to his severe illness. He died from HIV-related complications on 10 October 2008. …
Despite concerns voiced by UNHCR in April 2007 the plans for HIV testing of asylum seekers were fully introduced in Poland shortly after Mol’s well-publicised trial.

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Burn the coal, pay the toll.

* It is amazing how the HIV/AIDS crisis has been thrown into the memory hole. If in 1990 someone told you that anti-racism would take precedence over the prevention of an AIDS outbreak, you wouldn’t believe it.

* One of the first things Obama when he took office was lift the near-ban on immigration of people with HIV. Trump can easily reverse it.

How many Americans have been infected and died as a result? 15,000 dead Americans maybe? Hard to believe the number isn’t higher than 9/11.

And given the typical level of human capital of immigrants from the HIV belt, I am sure the taxpayer is on the hook for at least half a million per HIV-migrant in medical care.

Making the United States more like Africa by bringing in as many Africans as possible is a central goal of the modern Democratic Party, as well as the Bush/Ryan/Koch faction of the GOP.

The number of African (including North African) immigrants was
200,000 in 1980,
364,000 in 1990,
881,000 in 2000
1.83 million in 2013

Based on the high HIV rate in most of Africa, a very low estimate of the number of HIV infected Africans Obama brought into the USA as one of his first acts as president is 50,000. The people they infected, and the subsequent infections from those people, could eventually produce a body count of 100,000 people.

* This story really begs the question of why so many Polish women would want to have sex with this loser.

* When I was living in Poland I helped a young lady with her applications to study music and linguistics for graduate school a university in St. Louis.

Her biggest dreams were of America, Jazz Music and Black Men.

I have little doubt that the opportunity presented itself. Maybe she’s had a chance to get to know the mentality that have made St. Louis & Ferguson so famous. As blinkered as these naive progressive SJWs are, they’ll always still blame eurocentrism, colonialism, white power, and systemic racism for any bad behavior.

At the student nightclubs there in Poland, black men were rare, exotic and highly in demand. Whenever one was present the attentions of the young ladies were hard to overlook. It was even more blatant than when the gorgeous tall blonde Dutch or Scandinavian exchange student walks across an American campus.

Maybe experience will teach young Polish women not to be so naive. Based on our Yank sisters who have plenty of experience and should know better than to be fetishizing and exoticizing this, I’m not optimistic.

* In New York in the 80′s, we were told that being critical of centers of AIDS transmission, such as bath houses, or wanting AIDS Typhoid Marys to be reported to health authorities, was anti-homosexual bigotry, and real wrong. Crimethink, also.

The realpolitik theory about why this was so was that wealthy and thus politically influential gays did not want the liability resulting from their infectious adventures to come back to haunt them. Like lawsuits, you know.

In New York State, it took a Lothario drug dealer, in some upstate dump of a city, who infected a bunch of young teenage girls, to finally get our clowns in the state legislature to take action and allow reporting of HIV transmission.

* If you want to talk about cognitive dissonance among the altright how about that Muslim honor killings actually fall into the brutal but effective category when you think about it, would white women still sleep around with nonwhites if white men carried out honor killings against white female race mixers or carried out acid attacks against them or against sexually promiscuous women?

* I doubt going to that extreme would be necessary. Shaming and shunning such women–and their families–would probably be a sufficient deterrent.

And of course, tightening up access to social services would help. If an unmarried mother of any race knew she couldn’t get any welfare for herself or her spawn unless she could show that the fathers were already paying child support, I bet the overall illegitimacy rate would decline.

* The Simon Mol story is recounted as though it were a tragedy.

The tragic part is that a near-century of Red propaganda had softened even the most resistant European brains into letting such people in to run amok. But while it is somewhat sad that Mol’s victims have joined the ranks of the dead and dying prematurely, it’s also true that most if not all of his victims felt a comforting endorphin-rush of enlightened superiority of being a twinkling NotARaciss star in a hateful, backward, white-raciss skyline.

The tragedy is every schoolchild since, who have been deliberate victims of every far-left ideologue in a position of power – or worse, public trust – who, shuddering at the potential propaganda dimensions of stories like Simon Mol’s, determined to redouble the ideological vise-grip on the white children in their care. Children who will not simply never be told the Simon Mol story, but will face onerous penalties (social and cultural, and now-or-soon, possibly criminal) for learning it independently or, worse yet, disseminating it to others.

But Mol’s victims’ only remaining value is as public-health martyrs, not as individual tragedies. If children who willfully choose to play with matches don’t get horribly burned periodically, many many more people would die in fires than presently do.

* Movies and TV shows like to downplay and make fun of the effects of shaming/shunning, and like to claim that just “being strong” and “being confident” remove them. In reality, however, shaming/shunning are incredibly powerful, especially on women, whose natural insecurity and tremendous desire for group approval far out paces men.

Even today, a man voicing strong disapproval of a woman’s actions can make her break down in tears, no matter how much others are telling her what she did was ok. Years ago, I was once drunk at a bar in a major lefty city and two white women were showing me pictures of one of their children—who was black. I ripped into it and started making comments like “Is the father still around?” and “Wow, you went that far in the gutter?” The woman’s eyes welled up with tears, and at first, protested angrily, but then just hung her head in shame and ran out.

* Gays were split into two camps in the 1980s regarding such issues as closing the bath houses. If you read Randy Shilts “And the Band Played on” you can see how bitter the split was.

But there was definitely a camp of gays that was “pro common sense”. This camp was attacked viciously by the “stupid” side.

Non gay leftists consistently backed the “stupid” side.

I got the impression that the “stupid” side was motivated more by the usual leftist lack of logic rather than by practical considerations about liability (although that would have been an issue too),

(Eventually the bath houses closed because they went broke due of a lack of customers.)

NYT: ‘The Glare Varies for Two Actors on Hollywood’s Awards Trail’

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Luke Ford

I wonder why. Must be racism.

New York Times:

Jeannie Suk Gersen, a professor at Harvard Law School who teaches criminal law and sexual harassment law, said the reason could be far simpler: Mr. Parker’s case was criminal and Mr. Affleck’s was civil.
“People carelessly conflate rape with the entire range of sexual misconduct that can occur,” Ms. Suk Gersen said. “It’s all repulsive. But both morally and legally there are distinctions — degrees of behavior. Parker was accused of something far more serious.” (Ms. Suk Gersen is particularly attuned to Mr. Parker’s case, having contributed an article in September to The New Yorker, “The Public Trial of Nate Parker.”)
…One of the women, a producer named Amanda White, said in her complaint against Mr. Affleck that she endured “uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances” on the set of the film “I’m Still Here,” which he directed. The other woman, the cinematographer Magdalena Gorka, accused Mr. Affleck of curling up next to her while she was sleeping and “caressing her back.”

I see a moral difference between leading a gang rape and caressing a woman’s back, but that could be just my white privilege speaking.

Comment at NYT: “Well, according to the article, the allegations against Mr. Parker involved rape, but the allegations against Mr. Affleck involved harassment. Not to oversimplify this issue, but the different treatment is more likely due to the differing degrees of the alleged crimes/torts. Perhaps the overall point of inequality is valid, but this is an outrageous example to use. It really undermines the article.”

I’m not aware of Casey Affleck being accused of leading a gang rape.
