Comments at Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* While there are some very good Trump appointees (Bannon, Kobach, Stephen Miller), these will most likely be outweighed by Kushner\u2019s influence through DJT\u2019s paternal affection for his daughter.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m 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\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t forget. I want that guy (or business or organization) to still be having problems a decade or two later because of that comment.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t want to preserve their people and culture know that they aren\u2019t welcome. No violence, just exclusion.<\/p>\n

A peaceful European nation within a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious country. How that country-in-name-only goes won\u2019t be that important. We\u2019ll have our nation that insulates us.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 my children \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

Time to build a new European American nation.<\/p>\n

* 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.<\/p>\n

Look at Ortho Jews who cling to culture. More likely to be conservative.
\nBut waspized Jews became more Liberal.<\/p>\n

In a way, the pressure to Anglo-ize is still present. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

America today applies just as much assimilationist pressures as in the past. It\u2019s just that today\u2019s Anglos are more eager for newcomers to worship Harvey Milk than George Washington.
\nThese PC Anglos do NOT want newcomers to cling to their original culture as such conservatism goes against PC.<\/p>\n

PC multi-cultism has NO TOLERANCE for newcomers who say \u201cI reject \u2018gay marriage\u2019 as an affront to my cultural values.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Anglo has gone homo and pressures all groups to ass-imilate to homo-worship.<\/p>\n

* Why is there a concerted effort to delete from the history books all traces of America\u2019s origins and who stands to benefit from it? It\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n

All great people who accomplish something did something sinful or horrible. That\u2019s no reason to commit suicide.<\/p>\n

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, \u201cwait, does it make me a racist or white supremacist or something for typing that sentence?\u201d 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?<\/p>\n

Off topic but did anyone watch SNL\u2019s opening Requiem for Hillary the past Saturday? The SNL cast clearly took Tuesday\u2019s results hard. In a skit with a surprise appearance from Chris Rock the cast joked about how much they\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019ve done permanent damage to the middle class\u2019s 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 \u201cWe are an equal opportunity immigration destination\u201d, we will ironically not much longer be able to grant \u201cprivilege\u201d to any of our nation\u2019s prerogatives, whether they be progressive or conservative in nature, let alone those that are unique, quaint and basically unnecessary to our nation\u2019s survival like having a female president.<\/p>\n

* 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\u2019s of course a place for such outlets, but there is much such a publication can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Some of today\u2019s 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\u2019t stop itself from engaging in the most egregiously partisan behavior \u2014 it\u2019s too deeply in the grip of its own dogmatic beliefs.<\/p>\n

Even a publication like People must wonder where it\u2019s 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 \u2014 while not of course in any way pursuing it at the time \u2014 and the magazine declaring its full support of her. I\u2019m sure when they published this attack, they all held it unthinkable he might ever win. I wonder how much regret they have now?<\/p>\n

* The irony of Beinart\u2019s tweet couldn\u2019t be more obvious.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

If one wants to communicate that Jews shouldn\u2019t be treated as opponents of other whites, that such a belief is a \u201ccanard\u201d, 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.<\/p>\n

But here we have Beinart doing just that.<\/p>\n

* 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.<\/p>\n

DJT is too much of a gentleman to do this, but I can dream.<\/p>\n

* If Trump has any sense, he\u2019ll 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\u2019t have to see MLK\u2019s ugly mug, yet all the tourists will be thinking Trump\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

* 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.<\/p>\n

* 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 \u201cJackie\u201d 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 \u201cUniversity\u201d by \u201cKarl Shapiro\u201d 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 \u201cMad Men\u201d) but also an equally weird sense of persecution among Jewish Americans (Peter Beinart\u2019s tweet quoted elsewhere).<\/p>\n

Is there something \u2014 here? \u2014 WRT to Jews having this odd obsession with non-Jews? \u201cAnti-gentilism\u201d may not be the best choice of words but it\u2019s the only thing we have at the moment.<\/p>\n

So #antigentilism<\/p>\n

along with #HavenMonahan are default hashtags having to do with #UVA, which is why they were listed in the article.<\/p>\n

* * The Democrats and left are screaming about Bannon, which makes me think Trump and Bannon set up the early announcement of his selection \u2013 to a position not requiring any Senate confirmation that Trump controls completely, and which no President would ever accept such interference in making \u2013 as a naked power display to show everyone how little power the \u201crace card\u201d crowd and the mainstream media has anymore. The Times kept Bannon on its website front page for two days before they got the message.<\/p>\n

The Republican Establishment is trying to lay down markers and see where they stand in this new world, leaking word of \u201cturmoil\u201d in the transition process to the press, and McCain trying to grab the reins on Russia and Putin.<\/p>\n

Everyone is now trying to figure out where they stand in orbit around Planet Trump.<\/p>\n

* Steve Bannon is not one of us, although the media insists he is.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a Tea Party guy, having made a flattering movie about Sarah Palin. There are a few of his speeches online. It\u2019s basic 2009 Tea Party rhetoric: unfunded entitlements, the Constitution, and American exceptionalism.<\/p>\n

But I suppose the media has to vent their rage at someone.<\/p>\n

* 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\u2019d hate to see the Neocohens\u2019 reign of terror in foreign policy continue, that is a bargain I\u2019d 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\u2019s before he even assumed office. He\u2019s so far ahead of Bush that they\u2019re not in the same dimension.<\/p>\n

* Paul Kersey: The Beck stuff mentioned above is fascinating, because he met with Facebook in early part of 2016 as part of the whole \u201cconservative sites being blocked by algorithm\u201d story; obviously, Beck sold his soul as his empire was tanking<\/a> (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 \u2018bigot\u2019.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s inner circle on this scheme since at least early June, when Beck laid off 40 percent of his staff.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Thus, Glenn Beck going on CNN and attacking Richard Spencer, Steve Sailer and Alt-Right, trying to connect them to Steve Bannon.<\/p>\n

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

Glenn Beck got a fawning article in New Yorker (published Nov. 12, but leaked BEFORE the election)<\/a>, which described his reinvention, signaling he was \u201csafe\u201d opposition in a Post-Trump world safely controlled by the MSM\/Clinton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it all backfired.<\/p>\n

Now, with Trump\u2019s victory destroying the plans of reinventing Glenn Beck as useful opposition to President Clinton, he must be the \u201cgood\u201d conservative attacking Bannon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regrettably, I\u2019m close to a lot of this nonsense. Conservatism is a f\u2019ing scam, far worse than the Conservatism Inc. Peter Brimelow describes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a racket unworthy of\u2026 any more of our time.<\/p>\n

But for what it\u2019s worth: Bannon is a really, really good guy.<\/p>\n

* Trump is deliberately provoking his enemies. I\u2019m certain he wants them to react to his aggressiveness in a crazy and asinine fashion, and they\u2019re obliging him. It\u2019s pure pecking order. Trump is signalling that he\u2019s 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\u2019s the alpha here and they side with Trump.<\/p>\n

Trump is beginning the process of turning liberals into Untouchables, and they sense it and don\u2019t like it. They were on top with Obama. Now they\u2019re like Cinderella after the ball, a ragged mess whose glittering coach is now a pumpkin, trudging back home to life as a charwoman.<\/p>\n

Young liberals are still living in their mommy\u2019s basement, they\u2019re deeply in debt for college, they have trouble finding work, and their Obamacare didn\u2019t work out too well. Obama failed them and they know it, but they don\u2019t dare admit it to themselves because that would mean they screwed up by voting for him, and that liberalism doesn\u2019t work. They\u2019re displacing a lot of the anger they feel for their life situation onto Trump.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019ve 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<\/p>\n

A) Have the necessary skills and experience to move Trump\u2019s agenda forward?
\nB) Would be willing to serve in a Trump administration?
\nC) Are known to, and trusted by, Donald Trump himself or his closest advisers?<\/p>\n

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\u2019s getting established in the White House and consolidating his power.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said numerous times before the election, getting Trump to the presidency was only the opening skirmish of the battle. The real war begins now\u2014the long war to root out and destroy the Left. Trump is by no means the last president we\u2019re 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\u2019 time we will have politicians who openly talk like Viktor Orban. In 20 years we may have our own Perons and Putins. That\u2019s what I\u2019m hoping for, anyway. But we have to prepare ourselves for a very long march. This is only the beginning.<\/p>\n

* 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t 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\u2019s in his early 80s now. But if he\u2019s still spry maybe he\u2019d want to be Secretary of State for a year. Sam Nunn (D-GA) is in his late 70s.<\/p>\n

Nunn\u2019s 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 \u201cStripes\u201d 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 \u201cThe Bell Curve\u201d) and presented new President Reagan with a much more competent military as the 1980s progressed.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a real service to his country that Nunn provided.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Mormon rival and doppelganger Jon Huntsman, the former ambassador to China? Huntsman endorsed Trump, but then wimped out in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
