Twitter’s Alt-Right Purge

David Frum writes: Politics remains welcome at Twitter, as its most famous user, the president-elect, can attest. What Twitter is saying is that some and only some speech will be policed, by standards that can only be guessed at in advance.

That’s socially undesirable for a lot of reasons, but consider just this one: It’s precisely the perception of arbitrary and one-sided speech policing that drives so many young men toward radical, illiberal politics. On campus especially, but also in the corporate world—and now on social media—they perceive that wild and wacky things can be said by some people, but not by others. By useful comparison: On the very same day that Twitter suspended the accounts of some alt-right users, DePaul University forbade a scheduled appearance by the broadcaster and writer Ben Shapiro. Shapiro is not an alt-rightist; in fact, the Anti-Defamation League reported last month that Shapiro is Twitter’s single most frequently targeted victim of anti-Semitic abuse by alt-rightists. But Shapiro is a scathing polemicist and provocateur—an alumnus of the same Bannon-Breitbart empire that incubated Milo Yiannopoulos—and DePaul expressed worry that his appearance on campus might provoke violence.

The culture of offense-taking, platform-denying, and heckler-vetoing—now spreading ever outward from the campuses—lets loudmouths and thugs present themselves as heroes of free thought. They do not deserve this opportunity.

It’s a crazy fact of American life that as of today, a neo-Nazi has more right to build an arsenal of weapons and drill a militia than to speak on Twitter. Maybe we should try it the other way around.

There’s not much American constituency for Richard Spencer’s vision of a United States subdivided into segregated countries for each racial group, or for debates about whether Jews and Italians should count as “white,” or for fantasies about overturning democracy and returning to rule by kings and lords. But there is a real constituency for debates about immigration, about crime and policing, and other racially charged issues.

Over the past two decades, Americans have constructed systems of intellectual silencing that stifle the range of debate among responsible and public-spirited people. They’ve resigned hugely important topics to the domain of cranks and haters. If the only people who’ll talk about the risks and costs of a more diverse society are fascists, then the fascists will gain an audience. So long as they refrain from incitement and harassment, the right way to deal with social media’s neo-Nazis is not by taking away their platforms, but by taking away their audiences, by welcoming a more open and more intelligent discussion of what Americans yearn most to hear about.

The Goodwhites Are Wearing Safety Pins

Comments: Hey, don’t know about your parts, but where I live Goodwhite women are freaking out, even to the point of setting up meetings to grieve and push for women political candidates.

One interesting aspect of their kvetching is that they are wearing safety pins to show support. A quick look on the internet showed that this is happening nationwide.

When you think about it, this is genius. Goodwhites have finally figured out a way to physically distinguish themselves from us Badwhites so that minorities and other Goodwhites know who’s who.

Of course, I might warn them: Beware of what you wish for.

While I quite doubt that it will happen, it’s possible that this election is causing people to draw lines, to choose their side. Personally, I say say bring it on. But, again, I doubt it will go that far.

* It would be a real inconvenience to the Secret Service, although I like the idea of Soros’ minions freezing their butts off in January and annoying the DC locals, who voted for Hillary. Nonetheless, if the left tries to turn the inauguration into one big riot, I’d be furious. However, I think they’re going to try it. If Trump has an ounce of sense, he’ll invite plenty of active-duty military personal and National Guard units from various states to attend the ceremony. I’m afraid he’s going to need them.

I also worry that Soros and his gang are going to try to Walkerize US cities all the way on up to the inauguration, and even try to block Trump from occupying the White House. If it comes to that, the US army may have to ignore Obama’s last few weeks of tenure and intervene to make sure Trump arrives in office okay. I have not forgotten what happened to Scott Walker in Wisconsin. If leftists try the same antics on a national scale, they’re really going to make themselves some serious enemies. Soros and his minions need to be in jail on treason and Rico charges.

They can’t impeach Trump at this point, not with the Senate in Republican hands, but if the Senate flips in 2018, they’ll try to go after him.

* Steve, I wish you’d point out that the MSM is ignoring a very public assassination threat against Trump by the CEO of a small but successful tech company on the west coast. Earlier today when I checked on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, WaPo and NYT headline pages, they had nothing at all about it. They did, however, have stories about racist remarks against Michelle and an article about a cop flying a rebel flag…and I admit, those are a lot more important.

The NBC national news main page still seems to have nothing on it at this point, but they may have the story buried somewhere…maybe next to the recipes section. The guy is now saying it was a joke, but when did that excuse ever stop racist songs at frat parties from becoming gigantic news stories? We’re talking about assassination comments after a very contentious campaign.

Trump’s Appointees

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* While there are some very good Trump appointees (Bannon, Kobach, Stephen Miller), these will most likely be outweighed by Kushner’s influence through DJT’s paternal affection for his daughter.

* I’m not talking about some civil war fantasy. I simply mean European Americans doing what Jews (and Mormons) have always done. Set up European American business groups, charities, schools/cultural centers, lobbies, think tanks, etc. Look out for your own. Promote your people’s interests.

When a politician, member of the media, academic or business person from another race/ethnicity/religion says something disparaging against European Americans, you fight back and you fight back hard. You also don’t forget. I want that guy (or business or organization) to still be having problems a decade or two later because of that comment.

Give European Americans who want to preserve their people and culture some place to go, some place that will protect them. If a guy gets fired for standing up for European Americans, get him a job. (For example, Jason Richwine would have immediately found a job in a think tank in my world.) You also let those European Americans who don’t want to preserve their people and culture know that they aren’t welcome. No violence, just exclusion.

A peaceful European nation within a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious country. How that country-in-name-only goes won’t be that important. We’ll have our nation that insulates us.

One needs only look at the demographics of the children being born today to understand that the United States is finished as a middle-class, civic-minded country. Trump or no Trump, European Americans – my children – need to do what races throughout history have done: Look out for their own and push for as much self-determination as possible under the circumstances.

Time to build a new European American nation.

* So, as white ethnics became more Anglo-ized, they were more vulnerable to fads and fashions since they lost their roots. So, Anglo-ization hastened Liberalism.

Look at Ortho Jews who cling to culture. More likely to be conservative.
But waspized Jews became more Liberal.

In a way, the pressure to Anglo-ize is still present. It’s just that wasp power, in fusion with Jewish power, is less about Anglo-ness than about PC-ness, MLK-ness, and homo-ness that are the new religion of America.

America today applies just as much assimilationist pressures as in the past. It’s just that today’s Anglos are more eager for newcomers to worship Harvey Milk than George Washington.
These PC Anglos do NOT want newcomers to cling to their original culture as such conservatism goes against PC.

PC multi-cultism has NO TOLERANCE for newcomers who say “I reject ‘gay marriage’ as an affront to my cultural values.”

Multi-cultism only tolerates and celebrates superficial stuff like food and costumes. It has no interest in the actual moral and intellectual underpinnings of other cultures.

Anglo has gone homo and pressures all groups to ass-imilate to homo-worship.

* Why is there a concerted effort to delete from the history books all traces of America’s origins and who stands to benefit from it? It’s not rational. You can pick any great non-white leader in history, Gandhi certainly, probably even MLK, and find evidence for racism in their beliefs. In the case of MLK, if not racism, misogyny or worse (rape).

All great people who accomplish something did something sinful or horrible. That’s no reason to commit suicide.

Who stands to benefit when the last vestiges of the USA belonging to the grand Christian European heritage are wiped out? I mean the fight is on and they are winning because when I typed that last statement I guiltily asked myself, “wait, does it make me a racist or white supremacist or something for typing that sentence?” I find that I have to remind myself quite often about the existence of Japan and China and other nations that are organized around the interests of a common people in order to continue to exist: My self doubt is then assuaged. Of course a commonality among people is a basic requirement for an organized nation state even to be justified, let alone succeed. This is obvious, right?

Off topic but did anyone watch SNL’s opening Requiem for Hillary the past Saturday? The SNL cast clearly took Tuesday’s results hard. In a skit with a surprise appearance from Chris Rock the cast joked about how much they’ve been in a bubble and the people on the coasts know nothing about how people in the interior feel about politics. But this was long obvious to all of us. I guess there never was much hope in these east coast types ever having anticipated the fissures in American society that would be introduced by extremely rapidly changing demographics. They still thought that America would look past this huge divide to elect Hillary out of solidarity with Destiny, or the Right Side Of History, or something.

Does the cast of SNL and others like them still not get that this over-arching desire to have the first black president, the first female president (even to the possible detriment of other societal issues caused by the affirmative action candidate. Hillary would’ve done permanent damage to the middle class’s ability to stand up to the globalist oligarchs, for instance) is a fairly quaint feature of our culture? Since we are in the throes of dismantling all remaining vestiges of the privilege granted to this distinct European-American people by our forefathers and effectively advertising to the world “We are an equal opportunity immigration destination”, we will ironically not much longer be able to grant “privilege” to any of our nation’s prerogatives, whether they be progressive or conservative in nature, let alone those that are unique, quaint and basically unnecessary to our nation’s survival like having a female president.

* Yeah, one of the most interesting things to track in the aftermath of this election will be the fate of the media. It has become well and truly unhinged. Breitbart will certainly rise in importance. But it clearly needs to clean up its act so that it can be seen as a broad, reasonably balanced source of news, rather than as a purely partisan outlet. There’s of course a place for such outlets, but there is much such a publication can’t do that needs to be done. Fox News is perhaps a good model for a broader Breitbart, with, of course, necessary changes to reflect a Trumpian take on politics.

Some of today’s prominent media outlets must be awfully concerned as to their place in the new Trumpian world. The NY Times must wonder what its access and influence might be in a nation controlled at all political levels by Republicans, and by Trump at the top. And it can’t stop itself from engaging in the most egregiously partisan behavior — it’s too deeply in the grip of its own dogmatic beliefs.

Even a publication like People must wonder where it’s going to go for the stupid things it does. No First Family would be better suited to be fodder for its high society porn, given the beauty and appeal of so many of the Trump family. But they went all-in on a vicious attack on Trump, with the frumpy reporter from People declaring that many years ago he forced his tongue down her throat — while not of course in any way pursuing it at the time — and the magazine declaring its full support of her. I’m sure when they published this attack, they all held it unthinkable he might ever win. I wonder how much regret they have now?

* The irony of Beinart’s tweet couldn’t be more obvious.

Beinart wants to signal to the world that Jews are emphatically not on the side of other whites. But, then, how is it in any way surprising if those whites see Jews as a group to be a force arrayed against their interests, and deeply resent them?

If one wants to communicate that Jews shouldn’t be treated as opponents of other whites, that such a belief is a “canard”, the last thing one would want to do would be to suggest that Jews are united as a group against the interests of other whites.

But here we have Beinart doing just that.

* How about denying WH press credentials to NYT, NPR, Wapo, NBC, MSNBC, etc? Their questions will be nothing other than have you stopped sodomizing four year olds today. Let them use the pool report.

DJT is too much of a gentleman to do this, but I can dream.

* If Trump has any sense, he’ll loan the MLK bust permanently to the Museum of African American History and Culture where tourists can look at it, and put Churchill back in his office. That way he doesn’t have to see MLK’s ugly mug, yet all the tourists will be thinking Trump’s honored blacks (because they got to see the MLK bust with their own eyes! SJW squeal!). That would solve the problem. Any future president who has funny ideas about putting MLK back in the White House will have to deal with the shrieks of outrage from SJWers about it being stolen from its proper place in a museum honoring blacks. In the long term, it can be quietly donated to the museum and forgotten about.

* Satire is a more common art form in societies such as Monarchies and Dictatorships where more direct confrontation is ruthlessly crushed. Perhaps we are now at that stage regarding the media, Universities, and corporate employers where they have become so powerful that constructive criticism no longer matters. This is one reason Milo is so devastating. It immediately gets past the normal filters and goes straight into the blood stream. It seems to work better on liberals too for some reason.

* Actually, if you have followed this blog with anything but an ethno-centric obsession, you would know that the only reason why Sailer has a #antigentilism hashtag is because Sabrina Rubin Erdeley is obviously Jewish and when she wrote her article about “Jackie” she also very obviously slurred UVA, and moreover described the putatively predominant blue eyed blond flavor of the campus. In similar ways he quoted a poem “University” by “Karl Shapiro” which also showed a distinct animus towards UVA, and couched it in terms of hostility to blacks, Jews, and Deliverance-level incest, and he has also observed other Jewish creative people demonstrating not only a weird hostility to non-Jews (e.g., the guy who made “Mad Men”) but also an equally weird sense of persecution among Jewish Americans (Peter Beinart’s tweet quoted elsewhere).

Is there something — here? — WRT to Jews having this odd obsession with non-Jews? “Anti-gentilism” may not be the best choice of words but it’s the only thing we have at the moment.

So #antigentilism

along with #HavenMonahan are default hashtags having to do with #UVA, which is why they were listed in the article.

* * The Democrats and left are screaming about Bannon, which makes me think Trump and Bannon set up the early announcement of his selection – to a position not requiring any Senate confirmation that Trump controls completely, and which no President would ever accept such interference in making – as a naked power display to show everyone how little power the “race card” crowd and the mainstream media has anymore. The Times kept Bannon on its website front page for two days before they got the message.

The Republican Establishment is trying to lay down markers and see where they stand in this new world, leaking word of “turmoil” in the transition process to the press, and McCain trying to grab the reins on Russia and Putin.

Everyone is now trying to figure out where they stand in orbit around Planet Trump.

* Steve Bannon is not one of us, although the media insists he is.

He’s a Tea Party guy, having made a flattering movie about Sarah Palin. There are a few of his speeches online. It’s basic 2009 Tea Party rhetoric: unfunded entitlements, the Constitution, and American exceptionalism.

But I suppose the media has to vent their rage at someone.

* Trump should be judged almost exclusively on what he does with immigration, with the balance being made up of his trade policy. As much as I’d hate to see the Neocohens’ reign of terror in foreign policy continue, that is a bargain I’d be willing to take if it turns out nothing better is possible. Trump has a lot of runway to burn before he gets even close to Bush country. In fact, he has already single handedly destroyed TPP and averted socialized medicine, and that’s before he even assumed office. He’s so far ahead of Bush that they’re not in the same dimension.

* Paul Kersey: The Beck stuff mentioned above is fascinating, because he met with Facebook in early part of 2016 as part of the whole “conservative sites being blocked by algorithm” story; obviously, Beck sold his soul as his empire was tanking (went all-in to stop Trump and pissed off his readers), and was promised to be the voice of the new, respectable conservative opposition in a post-Trump world after Clinton defeated the ‘bigot’.

With the GOP remade (all those loyal to Trump purged) and the Alt-Right discredited forever, Beck could go back to shadowboxing the egalitarian left in complete control of the government. Remember all that Wikileaks has shown us; I bet Beck has been in talks with CNN, Clinton’s inner circle on this scheme since at least early June, when Beck laid off 40 percent of his staff.

But, because of hubris, our enemies overreached: they never could imagine that America still had a heartbeat. Thus, the purge of the Alt-Right (which was already planned) on Twitter today.

Thus, Glenn Beck going on CNN and attacking Richard Spencer, Steve Sailer and Alt-Right, trying to connect them to Steve Bannon.

His comments on 3 percent of Trump voters being Alt-Right are chilling (watch the Beck/Cooper interview).

Glenn Beck got a fawning article in New Yorker (published Nov. 12, but leaked BEFORE the election), which described his reinvention, signaling he was “safe” opposition in a Post-Trump world safely controlled by the MSM/Clinton.

But it all backfired.

Now, with Trump’s victory destroying the plans of reinventing Glenn Beck as useful opposition to President Clinton, he must be the “good” conservative attacking Bannon.

Regrettably, I’m close to a lot of this nonsense. Conservatism is a f’ing scam, far worse than the Conservatism Inc. Peter Brimelow describes.

It’s a racket unworthy of… any more of our time.

But for what it’s worth: Bannon is a really, really good guy.

* Trump is deliberately provoking his enemies. I’m certain he wants them to react to his aggressiveness in a crazy and asinine fashion, and they’re obliging him. It’s pure pecking order. Trump is signalling that he’s King of the Hill, and that liberals are not. I suspect this is something he learned at the military academy. Neutral bystanders will look the situation over and see Trump being perfectly cool while his enemies are shrieking their lungs out and making idiots out of themselves, and the bystanders figure out who’s the alpha here and they side with Trump.

Trump is beginning the process of turning liberals into Untouchables, and they sense it and don’t like it. They were on top with Obama. Now they’re like Cinderella after the ball, a ragged mess whose glittering coach is now a pumpkin, trudging back home to life as a charwoman.

Young liberals are still living in their mommy’s basement, they’re deeply in debt for college, they have trouble finding work, and their Obamacare didn’t work out too well. Obama failed them and they know it, but they don’t dare admit it to themselves because that would mean they screwed up by voting for him, and that liberalism doesn’t work. They’re displacing a lot of the anger they feel for their life situation onto Trump.

* I’ve seen a lot of complaining about the possible cabinet picks throughout the Alt-Right-osphere, with no small number of people openly lamenting that Trump has betrayed the principles that got him elected already. However, to that I can only reply that Trump has to draw from a rather small pool of applicants. How many people do you think exist that simultaneously

A) Have the necessary skills and experience to move Trump’s agenda forward?
B) Would be willing to serve in a Trump administration?
C) Are known to, and trusted by, Donald Trump himself or his closest advisers?

These criteria trim the list down considerably. If you add to them the further requirement that the candidate must have lily-white hands and no fingerprints whatsoever on the foulness that is currently Washington, D.C., the number of potential applicants drops to essentially zero. Donald Trump is going to need to leave at least some of the Washington machinery intact while he’s getting established in the White House and consolidating his power.

As I’ve said numerous times before the election, getting Trump to the presidency was only the opening skirmish of the battle. The real war begins now—the long war to root out and destroy the Left. Trump is by no means the last president we’re going to need. He is himself more of a transitional figure, an agent of change yet part of the old guard, a Moses not a Joshua. Perhaps in 10 years’ time we will have politicians who openly talk like Viktor Orban. In 20 years we may have our own Perons and Putins. That’s what I’m hoping for, anyway. But we have to prepare ourselves for a very long march. This is only the beginning.

* Secretary of State is an upper class job, which would seem to exclude Giuliani, Bolton, Gingrich, and Rohrabacher, who is a buddy of Sammy Hagar.

One possibility is that Trump could pick an elderly elder statesman as Secretary of State for, say, a year to get his Administration up and running. Recently, SoS’s have served 4 year terms, but Reagan fired Alexander Haig, who had sounded good on paper, midway through 1981 and replaced him with George Schultz and that worked out okay.

I don’t know much inside baseball about foreign policy, but former Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) seemed to be less enthusiastic about Invade-the-World policies than most foreign policy experts back in the day.. He’s in his early 80s now. But if he’s still spry maybe he’d want to be Secretary of State for a year. Sam Nunn (D-GA) is in his late 70s.

Nunn’s probably too hawkish, but he also thinks about the foot soldiers who would have to execute his policies. One of his major accomplishments came in the late 1970s when he repeatedly grilled the Pentagon about what drill instructors were telling him: that there was something wrong with new enlistees in the “Stripes” era military. Finally, in 1980 the Pentagon realized that they had screwed up the scoring of the AFQT enlistment test and had been allowing a lot of morons to enlist. They renormed the AFQT/ASVAB in 1980 using the NLSY79 sample (that provided the core of “The Bell Curve”) and presented new President Reagan with a much more competent military as the 1980s progressed.

That’s a real service to his country that Nunn provided.

A year ago a friend and I were kicking around the feasibility of a Trump Administration. Our fantasy pick for Secretary of State to give Trump maximum initial credibility was Mitt Romney. But then Romney and Trump decided they hated each other. So maybe Romney’s Mormon rival and doppelganger Jon Huntsman, the former ambassador to China? Huntsman endorsed Trump, but then wimped out in September.

Is NASA Too Old & Pale?

Comments: Former NASA head administrator Dan Golden:”NASA is too Male…Pale and Old”….

Does Dan Golden believe that Israel’s Space Program is to Jewish….Male…Pale…and Old?

* The gods on Mt. Olympus gave [Hillary] the most brilliant political mind of her generation as a husband. The Fates thwarted their plan by rendering her deaf to his words.

The Ancient Greeks would have relished it.

* So Bill got it all right. The funniest thing about this election’s aftermath is realizing that if he had run again, he would have won, again. Goes to show that being married to an extraordinarily skilled and intuitive politician does not make you one.

* Only so much greatness can be thrust upon one so shrewishly untamed.

* Two points: the first is that the Clinton campaign’s Ada software failed miserably (because polling was so bad in this election), so it’s hilarious to see the most data driven campaign ever get called out by a hillbilly political savant. A few newspapers had to hastily edit their pre-written pieces about Ada in order to explain why it didn’t work. The second is that it’s surprising the Clinton’s have a condo near the River Market instead of a mansion in the Heights. Then again, Ted Danson has a condo around there (his wife is from Little Rock), so maybe there’s a secret celebrity enclave in Little Rock for folks who want to get away from New York and LA.

* I knew as soon as Beck started quoting Richard Spencer that when he got to Sailer the quote would be the New Orleans/Let The Good Times Roll thing. Probably the most ill considered thing Steve has ever said (even though it’s true). Spencer at least is a honest to goodness racist, but I’d be willing to bet somebody spent a lot of time coming up with the worst things he’s ever said as well.

MORE COMMENTS:

* Come on, the connection is quite logical. Breitbart specifically named Steve Sailer as an intellectual center of the alt right, and that is widely acknowledged far beyond Breitbart. And Bannon specifically claimed Breitbart as the official news outlet of the alt right. Sailer and Bannon may not have direct communication but they both have clear prominent ties to the alt right movement. Sailer has never refuted the alt right or the neo reaction. AFAIK, “alt right” and “neo reaction” are labels for the same general political movement.

* Glenn Beck is following the same career trajectory as Morton Downey Jr. Within a week or two he’ll stagger out of an airport men’s room with backwards swastikas magic-markered on his face, shrieking that he was jumped by alt-righters.

* There’s a very intelligent parts of the alt-right and there’s various mean, smug, obnoxious parts.

The people Twitter banned were definitely on the mean, smug, obnoxious part of the alt right. I used to follow John Rivers and Ricky Vaughn, I’ve read them a ton, Sailer has linked John Rivers, they occasionally have great tweets, but they had a lot of mean spirited, nasty stuff too. I unfollowed them. Richard Spencer also has too little intelligent insight and too much meanness and obnoxious smugness. I’m alt right and I can’t fault Twitter for banning those guys.

A younger alt-right twitter guy I would recommend as a better choice is nunzioni.

And as serious adult writers, I’d pick Sailer (of course) and Ilana Mercer.

Steve Sailer is definitely a intellectual highlight of the alt right. That one Sailer quote Beck and NRO criticized does seem unnecessary and mean, I’d like to hear Sailer’s explanation, but it is still a rare exception to Sailer’s witty and intelligent writing.

* When we consider that according to crime statistics, black offenders commit more than 50% of the country’s murders, even though blacks make up only 13% of the population, isn’t that substantial corroboration of Steve’s point that blacks “tend to possess poorer native judgment than members of better-educated groups” and that they “need stricter moral guidance from society.

* I can’t for the life of me think why what Steve said about letting the good times roll be a good message for the Black underclass is either wrong or motivated by racial hatred. That statement is self-evidently true, and the message of Black preacher after Black preacher. That message is front and center for example, for the Nation of Islam. That Black underclass people need order and structure in their lives, and the NOI is just the one to provide it.

As for Twitter, banning anyone not a Liberal Democrat makes them feel good, but it is likely to burn their company down to the ground. Disney and Microsoft and Salesforce all passed on buying them, as did Fox and a number of other potential suitors. Twitter is not making money now, and with their user base halved and Gab.ai poised to make them the next Myspace, things are not looking good for Jack Dorsey and company.

Indeed Zuckerberg may feel he has to placate his Whitey-hating wife (who doubtless hates him most of all, she’s a woman and Chinese, thus full of hate hate hate for White beta males like Zuck). And his board. And his pals in Silicon Valley. But all that will do is produce an exodus from Facebook of those advertisers most want to reach beyond young White women — White people with money. There are not enough ultra-rich people to support an ad network which is all Facebook really is. There is Google Hangouts, and a host of other social media places, besides Fakebook.

Fakebook is likely to be just another liberal social platform, along with lots of non-English speakers from poor Third World countries who are of limited if any interest to advertisers with real money to spend. Fakebook may have 1.7 billion “active” users; but about 989 million are exclusively mobile (read: living in a Third World hell-hole with no computer).

Of course, Donald Trump is a man who does not get even with those who cross him, he is notorious for turning the other cheek and just groveling before his enemies, so the actions of Bezos and the Amazon/Washington Post, AT&T/Direct TV, Comcast, NYT, Fakebook, Twitter etc. have no anti-trust, Sherman Act ramifications. None whatsoever.

* Steve Sailer: “That statement is self-evidently true, and the message of Black preacher after Black preacher.”

I would imagine Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton more or less agree with what I said.

* Spencer might well be smug, and I can’t say that I’m his biggest fan, but he didn’t actually do anything on Twitter to warrant the ban except hold verboten political views. Yet Twitter’s let “Rape Melania” trend and accounts that have tweeted death threats at Trump are still up. They’re not just banning people for being nasty, they’re banning them for being heretics.

* Can we get a categorical statement from Steve Sailer on whether he opposes white genocide or not? And whether he is opposed to the formation of a white ethnostate? To just put it on the record formally for documentation purposes? A simple yes or no will do.

* Congratulations Mr Sailer — so far you’ve survived Twitter’s purge of alt-right accounts — although it’s not clear to me that an ‘alt-rightist’ is worse than a ‘white supremacist’ — anyway, just for fun I looked at Twitter’s ‘About’ page — Our mission: To give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers — I emailed them to suggest they change the wording to almost everyone.

* Beck’s histrionic hand-wringing over what was, in fact, a perfectly accurate and reasonably expressed comment by Steve, seems to me not only obsequious and desperate, but also rather ill-played even from his own point of view. It’s obviously an attempt at virtue-signalling, but to whom is he sending the signal? To the very group people whose ideals were just roundly thrashed in last week’s election. Hillary Clinton and her fawning presbyters in the MSM had the entire presidential campaign with which to make “racism” do as much damage to Donald Trump as they possibly could, and the result was a whole lot of nothing. So now comes Glenn Beck belatedly to the scene, to pick up the Left’s shivered spears and brandish them around at nobody, pretending to be a veteran of a battle he was never in, all so that he can ingratiate himself with the losing side’s host. What kind of sense does that make?

It is evident from this that Glenn Beck is an evasive, ascetical carper. He has a psychological need to remove himself from real currents of action that might prove definitive, to stake out deliberately contrarian positions, and to set himself up as pastor over his little flock of losers who have been left out of the big decisions. Thus his muslin “concern” and his instinctive ministering to the defeated. The man born for priestcraft will always find some “church” over which he can hold his intellectual sway, his presence as indicative as a carrion bird’s as to where the bodies lay. I hesitate to say it, but it was precisely Glenn Beck’s presence in the Tea Party that proved to me that the process was doomed to fruitlessness, for they were nothing but the dispirited remains of the old Movement Conservatism which had received a fatal blow with the first election of Obama—a field white for the harvest of laborers like Beck.

It is best, indeed, to simply stay away from this man, to not try to make sense out of what he is doing, unless you can see beneath the surface of things. His expressed ideology at any given moment counts for very little. His real purpose is ever and always to be an alternative to reality. His kingdom is not of this world. He is the lord of the loons.

* Beck’s career trajectory should serve as a timely wake-up call to Megyn Kelly. After the Million Mall Thing, Glenn Beck was on top of the world.
Megyn has just doubled down on the progressive future of FOX, for which network she was all set to become The Face.
It didn’t work out. She’s rattled. She wishes she could edit most chapters of her book, but it was timed to release straight after Hillary’s victory.
They are both victims of pop psychology and poor judgement, but I repeat myself. They ought to have realised their limitations and settled for something realistic.

* Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life in Business and Life by Donald Trump & Bill Zanker. (HarperCollins, 2007). Chapter 6, Revenge:

Donald J Trump:

So do not hesitate to go after people. This is important not only for the person you are going after but for other people to know not to mess around with you.

When other people see that you don’t take crap and see you are really going after somebody for wronging you, they will respect you. Always have a good reason to go after someone. Do not do it without a good reason. When you are wronged, go after those people because it is a good feeling and because other people will see you doing it.

Getting even is not always a personal thing. It’s just a part of doing business.

I love getting even when I get screwed by someone—yes, it is true, people still try to take me for a ride, and sometimes they succeed, rarely, but when they do I go after them. You know what? People do not want to play around with me as much as they do with others. They know if they do, they are really in for a big fight. Always get even. When you are in business you need to get even with people who screw you. You need to screw them back fifteen times harder. You do it not only to get the person who messed with you but also to show the others who are watching what will happen to them if they mess with you. If someone attacks you, do not hesitate. Go for the jugular. Attack them back in spades!

I always get even. In the 1980s I recruited a woman from her job in government where she was making peanuts. She had nothing when she met me. I thought she was smart and that under my mentoring she could be very good. She was a nobody in her government job and going nowhere. I decided to make her into somebody. I gave her a great job at The Trump Organization, and over time she became powerful in real estate. She bought a beautiful home.

When I was going through tough times in the early 1990s, I needed her help. I asked her to make a phone call to an extremely close friend of hers who held a powerful position at a big bank and who would have done what she asked. She said, “Donald, I can’t do that.” I had taken her out of a dead-end government job. I encouraged her. I mentored her. I made her, and then she told me she couldn’t do it. I got rid of her and then she started a business on her own.

Later I found out her business failed. I was really happy when I found that out. She had turned on me after I had done so much to help her. I had asked for one favor in return, and she turned me down flat. She ended up losing her home. Her husband, who was only in it for the money, walked out on her, and I was glad. Over the years many people have called asking for a recommendation for her. I only give her bad recommendations. I just can’t stomach the disloyalty.

I put the people who are loyal to me on a high pedestal and take care of them very well. I go out of my way for the people who were loyal to me in bad times. This woman was very disloyal, and now I go out of my way to make her life miserable. She calls asking to get together for lunch or for dinner. I never return her calls.

* Beck has always seemed like a desperate man seeking redemption. Still, it’s amusing to see him triple down on cuckservatism as his media organization crumbles, plan for political obstruction fails and his credibility craters.

The reason for the near media blackout on Steve Sailer in the afterglow of the Trump victory just dawned on me. His reasonable, well-researched views presented in a sober manner will resonate with far too many rubberneckers, unlike the more inflammatory presentation from the likes of the Radix Journal. Richard Spencer’s demeanor can also be off-putting the uninitiated. That’s why they choose Spencer as the Face of the Alt Right.

* Between 1980-2008 blacks (13% of the US population) committed:

64% of homicides
70% of robberies
50% of rapes
45% of aggravated assaults.

NATIONWIDE.

Buzzfeed: This Is How Steve Bannon Sees The Entire World

LINK: The soon-to-be White House chief strategist laid out a global vision in a rare 2014 talk, one where he said racism in the far right gets “washed out” and called Vladimir Putin a kleptocrat. BuzzFeed News publishes the complete transcript for the first time:

Steve Bannon: [World War I] triggered a century of barbaric — unparalleled in mankind’s history — virtually 180 to 200 million people were killed in the 20th century, and I believe that, you know, hundreds of years from now when they look back, we’re children of that: We’re children of that barbarity. This will be looked at almost as a new Dark Age.
But the thing that got us out of it, the organizing principle that met this, was not just the heroism of our people — whether it was French resistance fighters, whether it was the Polish resistance fighters, or it’s the young men from Kansas City or the Midwest who stormed the beaches of Normandy, commandos in England that fought with the Royal Air Force, that fought this great war, really the Judeo-Christian West versus atheists, right? The underlying principle is an enlightened form of capitalism, that capitalism really gave us the wherewithal. It kind of organized and built the materials needed to support, whether it’s the Soviet Union, England, the United States, and eventually to take back continental Europe and to beat back a barbaric empire in the Far East.
That capitalism really generated tremendous wealth. And that wealth was really distributed among a middle class, a rising middle class, people who come from really working-class environments and created what we really call a Pax Americana. It was many, many years and decades of peace. And I believe we’ve come partly offtrack in the years since the fall of the Soviet Union and we’re starting now in the 21st century, which I believe, strongly, is a crisis both of our church, a crisis of our faith, a crisis of the West, a crisis of capitalism.
