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

* Defining moment in Mad Men for me: Don Draper, highly paid ad exec, cleans his own gutters. And I think there was a scene where Henry, Betty\u2019s new husband, political operative and county executive or some such, mowed the lawn.<\/p>\n

Now there are Guatemalans for that.<\/p>\n

Freeing up the Dons and the Henrys to do what really needs to be done.<\/p>\n

* Oddly I find a lot of Jews here in London referring to WASPs, the US still sets the trends that then flood here. I just consider myself English or British, what relevance does WASP have here? The last context I heard it in was in how the denunciator had heard his old private school, an explicitly Church of England school ironically enough, didn\u2019t have as many Jewish pupils as when he was there but was now full of ghastly WASPs, it offended him greatly. Traditionally Jews in Britain have been relatively better assimilated but I get the impression they are increasingly being influenced by US Jewish mentality.<\/p>\n

As someone who works in the financial sector in London the only companies I never apply to are Jewish firms, a phenomenon never noticed publicly let alone criticised. What discrimination and prejudice that exists is pretty much all one way.<\/p>\n

* I think resentment is always more a manifestation of one\u2019s internal state than a reflection of genuine slights suffered. For instance the resentful short guy, or the resentful mentally-ill person. My experience with resentful people has always been that they lack the ability to fit in happily, even if they want to, so they have to look for (or invent) reasons to justify their maladjustment. Often physical.<\/p>\n

Matthew Weiner is 5\u20197\u2033 and looks like a evil little gremlin. I usually look at people\u2019s physical appearance before I evaluate what they have to say nowadays.<\/p>\n

* If you read the article, it\u2019s all about obsessions with Jews. About which do you obsess more: the Holocaust (Samuels) or that most of your past girlfriends (probably the wife, too) were banging the HS QB and his friends while you were masturbating in a dark corner with a flashlight and the latest Penthouse issue (Weiner). In both cases, Jewish emasculation is extreme no matter how strong Israel is or how many shiksas you could buy or are desperate to sleep with you now.<\/p>\n

* During my poor Southern high school years, my friends and I picked crops after school. Everyone we knew was working class or white trash. Regional doctors and lawyers were celebrities. Nobody felt slighted by their life circumstances because the expression of that indignation would be unseemly, what with all the unfortunate people in the world. Who were we to complain and who would care if we did?<\/p>\n

Imagine growing up in beautiful Los Angeles, before CA was ruined by immigration, with a renowned doctor\/professor for a father and a lawyer for a mother (who could afford to stay home if she wanted), with housekeepers and private schools and leisure and your own books in your bedroom and fresh fruit in the kitchen. And then to become fixated because you couldn\u2019t have everything.<\/p>\n

Mad Men deserves all the praise it gets and Weiner seems like an insightful and decent guy. But where the hell does this attitude, this expectation, come from? It\u2019s beyond being spoiled or pampered. It\u2019s pathological entitlement with a twist of paranoia and it\u2019s a mental condition that doesn\u2019t seem to exist in even the most privileged WASP culture.<\/p>\n

* You can live in the richest town in the country, you can have a doctor and lawyer for parents, you can have your own better country club, you can be the academic star of your prep school\u2014but if you happen also to be 5 feet 4 and with a curved nose and thick glasses, then none of it matters. You\u2019ll be the Jewish outsider until you die.<\/p>\n

P.S. Making Jon Hamm your alter ego doesn\u2019t help!<\/p>\n

* By coincidence, I picked up Robert Evans\u2019 1994 memoir (\u201cThe Kid Stays in the Picture\u201d) at the library, recently, and I have been reading about his tenure as the head of Paramount, under Charlie Bluhdorn. (Evans claims, at one point, that he never knew whether Bluhdorn was Jewish; yet, he has Bluhdorn dropping Yiddish words that I never have heard before\u2013 which would strike me as highly unlikely, coming from an Austrian Catholic, who just happened to leave Europe for America, as a child or adolescent, in the 1930s!?!)<\/p>\n

Evans writes (p. 16-17) that on the evening of December 7, 1941, a family meeting was held at his richest uncle\u2019s home\u2013 an eighteen-room penthouse, overlooking Central Park, which Evans, then 11 years old, attended with his father:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat night, all they were interested in was, first, how to keep their kids from going to war; second, how to expand their wealth; and third, how to protect it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were the first to leave. As we were going down in the elevator, I remember, Pop said in a voice barely above a whisper, \u2018The wealthy will get wealthier and the young will die.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

* I get so tired of the Jewish grudge against whites and America. If whites and WASPs wanted to get together and keep Jews out of the country, and out of power, they could have easily done this. Instead, Jews were allowed into the country and allowed in elite circles. Jews are a privileged class in America and use phony claims of discrimination to justify their own grudges and discrimination and to solidify a grip on power.<\/p>\n

Of course Jews have lots of power in the media. From my lowly position way on the outside, that much is obvious. It\u2019s also obvious what movies like Caddyshack and Meatballs were about. Fox News, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh aren\u2019t all Isrul all the time for nothing, and there is a reason that NPR is heavily staffed by Jews, and the programming heavily focused on Jews and Jewish issues. Instead of constant hostility, derision and opposition, I think Jews owe WASPs\/America a big thank you and some cooperation, but I\u2019m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n

* The following is another amazing production of Red Ice Radio that pretty much demolishes Michael Weiner\u2019s argument that Jews are merely overrepresented in Hollywood with limited impact on the culture as a whole and are no way hostile to historical American nation.<\/p>\n

Warning it is 1:46 minutes long, but worth every minute of watching it. If you got time to waste on Mad Men then you definitely got time for this.<\/p>\n

Hollywoodism: The Ideology that has Devoured Western Culture<\/A><\/p>\n

Also very worthwhile from Red Ice.<\/p>\n

Saint George and the \u201cWhite Whore\u201d<\/A><\/p>\n

Insight \u2013 Anchorman 2 Review & The Politics of Will Ferrell<\/A><\/p>\n

* I just the last few weeks started watching Mad Men.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a really disappointing experience. Yes, the period detail is pretty fascinating. But the entire energy of the show comes from its never ending reinterpretation of the sixties in the light of our current Zeitgeist. Every episode and every dramatic moment is animated by a question of: how are women being treated? how are blacks being treated? How are Jews being treated? You can hear in your head the invisible audience gasping at every such moment: OMG, did you hear what he said? I am so disgusted, and superior to that!<\/p>\n

If you take away that cheap thrill of moral superiority, what\u2019s left of the series? Anything?<\/p>\n

Hollywood seems to make its living these days trucking in what I would call \u201cmoral porn\u201d \u2014 playing to our lowest moral impulses. The standard method is to take an earlier era, or removed subculture (such as Southern whites, or Evangelicals), and project today\u2019s standard \u201ccorrect\u201d morality \u2014 however anachronistically \u2014 onto that setting, dividing the good and evil people in that setting by how well they conform to our morality. If, say, Napoleon is supposed to be a good guy in a movie, you will know because he has a black guy whom he treats with respect because he\u2019s a great artillery officer; if he\u2019s supposed to be a bad guy, he\u2019ll talk about how those blacks are just animals.<\/p>\n

I find this kind of relentless sermonizing in art repulsive; I just can\u2019t stomach it.<\/p>\n

But I can only conclude that I\u2019m a pretty rare bird, because stuff like this sells like nobody\u2019s business.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019ve got to say there are days when I get sick of hearing rich, connected people whining about how hard they think they had it at their elite school.<\/p>\n

* Steve, Thank you so much for writing this. For me, it\u2019s just so surrealistic to read something like this. I\u2019m in my mid-40s, reasonably successful, English Catholic. I\u2019m decidedly not ethnocentric and by nature very laid back and accepting. Even of Indianans. But My God, reading this, it feels like Weiner is thoroughly hateful, paranoid, and deeply resentful, although his upbringing was way more privileged than anyone I grew up with. With all his luck and privilege and advantages, it\u2019s like he\u2019s just begging for me to hate him. As if my hatred of him will somehow elevate him to an even higher station in life? What is wrong with him? SMH.<\/p>\n

* Growing up around Philadelphia in the \u201970s, this was the feeling that I had \u2013 that there was a WASP aristocracy that had at one time been dominant and that they still had their clubs and their strange customs (bright colored pants with whales on them, speaking with the Locust Valley Lockjaw accent) but that they didn\u2019t really run things anymore. The mayor was Italian (Rizzo), the main newspaper was owned by a Jew (Annenberg), etc. WASPs still had prominent roles but not dominant ones and they were clearly fading while other groups were rising. Local WASP institutions such as Budd (maker of railcars) were teetering on the brink of extinction, while the University of Pennsylvania (heavily Jewish from the 1920s onward) was rising. Campbell Soup was not setting the world on fire. So it never occurred to me that they were a threat or that I somehow had to take revenge upon them or destroy their stupid clubs which I had no desire to join any more than I wanted to join the Knights of Columbus.<\/p>\n

Weiner\u2019s whole shtick is strange. As he points out, Jews and the movie industry in effect created the Los Angeles that we know. There was no there there when they got there, just a small Midwestern city transplanted to a better climate. LA was not even in the top 10 \u2013 it was smaller than Milwaukee and Cincinnati and out where the studios were built was ranchland that they could buy up cheap. Beverly Hills was not incorporated until 1914 and in 1920 it had 674 residents. Defeating the WASP aristocracy of LA was a feat comparable to taking over Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

* Maybe many Jews resent WASPS because WASPs are Christians AND for having created an amazingly decent and successful country. America represents for them a repudiation of what they have been taught about the goyim i.e. that the goyim are really unintelligent genocidaires.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t resent Irish and Italian Catholics anywhere as much probably because they are fond of them -they grew up with them as underdogs in the immigrant tenements of New York. In fact in NYC, the Jews, Irish and Italians have always worked together to form the formidable coalition that displaced the WASP power structure of NY, while at the same time, taking care to keep the hapless (and socially and economically useless) Puerto Ricans and Blacks in their place. I live in NYC, and I am always amazed at how these three ethnic whites get along famously, but I guess it helps to have a common enemy they hold in deep contempt -Blacks. (full disclosure: I am an african muslim \u201cimmigrant\u201d myself)<\/p>\n

Of course in this coalition, for the most parts, the leaders are mostly Jews, and the cops that crack minority heads are irish or italian. Think obese cigarette seller Eric Garner of \u201cI can\u2019t breathe\u201d and the cop Pantaleo. Blacks try to fight back (well, at least they try), and hence the formidable Al Sharpton. But NY Jews also have a strange sympathetic side towards Blacks , so even as they get their moderate IQ irish\/italian cop goons to crack some heads, they are also providing blacks and hispanics with assistance-jobs, subsidized housing, and such. Blacks know this, and well, they don\u2019t really \u201cFight the Power\u201d too hard. They know they have it tougher in the WASP lands of the South.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the reason Jews are so politically powerful is because they have the tactical support of a lot of non-WASP gentiles, AND the frightened dysfunctional minorities who need them for their welfare. Non WASP gentiles support comes more in the form of being neutral and not defending the WASP Establishment and the South. So the historical America becomes comprised. Oh and by the way, it does not help that the WASPs in the south dumbly oppose unions even though unions are job protection for the working and lower middle class white ethnic Catholics and jews. Southern Whites are so unreasonable they drive everyone straight into the hands of liberal Jews. (Also, why do they care if promiscuous women want to use birth control, or abort? Another discussion).<\/p>\n

I still can not figure out completely why American Jews have such a DEEP hatred of WASPs -and hence historical America-though.
\nI mean we all resent our betters to a certain extent, but we don\u2019t try to destroy them- we even try to emulate them (even if we don\u2019t admit it).<\/p>\n

* I know little of German history, but if the Jews in Germany before World War II carried on there as they do now here in America\u2013at the forefront of a movement hostile to the gentile majority and undermining of its position and traditions\u2013it would go a long way toward explaining the awful turn of events that overtook the Jews during that war.<\/p>\n

I hate thinking that might be true, being myself a Jew, and a proud one at that.<\/p>\n

* That\u2019s the Jewish ideology in a nutshell:<\/p>\n

Everything must be open to the Jews. Everything. Anything else is double-plus bad\u2013racist!, anti-Semitic! If any other group builds anything that is not open to the Jews \u2026 evil, evil, evil!<\/p>\n

But Jewish, separatism, ethno-centrism, ethnic-networking \u2026 that\u2019s all fine.<\/p>\n

The somewhat strange thing is it\u2019s basically impossible to find a (prominent) Jew who can deal with the *obvious* reality here honestly.<\/p>\n

Christianity, Islam, Buddhism are all universals religions.<\/p>\n

It is Judaism that is uniquely a *racial religion*. And one that is explicitly separatist\\rejectionist, with all sorts of practices and sanctions to prevent Jewish mingling with and contamination by the goyim.<\/p>\n

I have no idea what my ancient Irish, English and Germanic ancestors were up to 2000 years back, but there weren\u2019t Christians. (Based on my predilections, i\u2019d guess something Wickermanish involving big fires!) When Christianity came \u2026 they went with the flow of their fellow countrymen. Simply partook of the new dominant religion of their lands.<\/p>\n

Jews are very proud of themselves, their history, but don\u2019t seem to quite want to except responsibility, that rather than being held apart by the majority, they\u2013their ancestors\u2013*chose* to reject, stay separate from the religion and culture of the majority. Rather than integrate into the culture of the places they lived, the Jews wanted\\chose to stay separate, to instead keep themselves racially pure and practice a religion of racial supremacy\\separatism while looting the goy majority. And what makes them Jews now is that they successfully kept up that separation for 2000 years. (The few Jews that were insufficiently racially separatist\\supremacist melted into the majority and are *my* ancestors not theirs.)<\/p>\n

* Globo-oligarchs control the media.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like this. Everyone owns his or her own TV set, but what comes through every TV set is not controlled by those who own the TV sets. It\u2019s controlled by those who control the TV stations, and it just so happens that a handful of globo-oligarchs own all the media. So, 300 million people may have 300 million TV sets, but a mere 5 media conglomerations, all of them owned or controlled by globo-oligarchs(and their favorite allies the homos), decide what 300 million people see.<\/p>\n

That is power.<\/p>\n

So, when everyone gets \u2018my TV\u2019, he or she is really surrendering his or her mind, as does everyone else who owns a TV set, to the Globo Big Brother and Homo Big Sister who control the handful of media corporations. And the globo-oligarchs use the TV and mass media to brainwash us and to command us to BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GLOBO AND HOMO.<\/p>\n

So, US is all about AIPAC and GAY-PAC.
\nIs it any wonder that 75% of Americans sympathize more with Israelis than with Palestinians even though Zionists are oppressing the Palestinians? Is it any wonder that 80% of millennials and 55% of Americans are for \u2018gay marriage\u2019 when their minds have been warped by mass media controlled by globo and homo oligarchs?<\/p>\n

I am the last one who won\u2019t bend over and collaborate.<\/p>\n

* Maybe Mrs. Weiner encourages Mr. Weiner to dislike gentiles, especially dislike young blonde gentile adventuresses such as January Jones and other starlets he comes in contact with daily.<\/p>\n

* There are a lot of of very beautiful Jewish adventuresses these days. Many of them are of Russian and Persian Jewish origin. The Russian girls are particularly adventuresome. That\u2019s a lesson Mel Gibson found out the hard way when he dated a Russian Jewish woman (Oksana Grigorieva,).<\/p>\n

Speaking of Weiners, Anthony Weiner learned a lesson about Jewish adventuresses just a few years ago.<\/p>\n

* Mad Men is written and produced by people who were didn\u2019t become adults until decades after the period in which it is set and who don\u2019t seem to know anything about what things were like in those days. In a way, that\u2019s odd, because they could just watch their studios\u2019 archives of movies and tv shows that were made back then, which fairly accurately document the prevailing attitudes and mores of the time.<\/p>\n

I have a close friend, Jewish in his 70\u2032s, who was actually in the advertising business in New York during the late-1950\u2032s and early-1960\u2032s. He told me that he tried to watch the show but found it too preposterous.<\/p>\n

He said the one thing that it got most right was the smoking, drinking and reasonable working hours. Most people smoked and they smoked everywhere without complaint by non-smokers. The three-martini lunch was a reality, and my friend swears that it was routine for ad men to return to their offices after lunch (especially if it was with clients), close the door, tell their secretaries to hold their calls, sleep on the couch until 4:00 or 4:30, when it was almost time to go home, and then resume drinking in the club car on the way back to the suburbs, arriving home in time for the cocktail hour. If a man could hold his liquor, he wasn\u2019t viewed as an alcoholic, he was just convivial.<\/p>\n

The thing that Mad Men got most preposterously wrong was its portrayal of women. Contrary to the show\u2019s notions: Wife-beating was considered disgraceful. Treating secretaries and the typing pool like prostitutes would have gotten a man fired and probably blackballed from the industry. Nice girls really didn\u2019t put out until they were married, with rare, unfortunate exceptions, and men didn\u2019t expect them to. No ad man would have dreamed of refusing to work with a high-paying potential client because she was a woman. Men liked women, women liked men, and they enjoyed each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n

Likewise, to a somewhat lesser extent, for the show\u2019s displays of overt anti-Semitism and racism, both of which were already d\u00e9class\u00e9 by the time in which the show was set.<\/p>\n

* Jews have a hand in leading these post-America and post-modern kinds of thinkings (e.g. Cultural Marxism, etc) and are at their most effective when they make others think that they wield no direct influence at all whatsoever, or if they do, it tends to be equivalent to other every ethnic and\/or is no different than anyone else.<\/p>\n

Pay no attention to that group behind the curtain. They don\u2019t have any relevance at all over the culture, the media, academia, business, etc. They alllll just happen to be at the higher echelons of power and prestige.<\/p>\n

All just one great giant coincidence that continues to occur with each succeeding passing generation.<\/p>\n

* Remember Steven Spielberg says that being teased as a child informed his later work. Apparently someone called him a Jew on the school playground\u2013and a lot of Jews don\u2019t realise that children can just be mean. They\u2019re actually equal-opportunity meanies\u2013whatever you got, they\u2019ll hit you with. <\/p>\n

* I have a lot of fun discussing what I call \u2018entertainment propaganda\u2019 with friends and family. These are all people who by most objective standards are intelligent and accomplished individuals.<\/p>\n

I always ask, as subtly as possible, if they caught various subtexts and references in whatever example we\u2019re discussing. 99% of the time, they didn\u2019t, which means the propaganda was effective. The other 1% of the time, they pass off as trivial and irrelevant.<\/p>\n

People have no idea\u2013no idea\u2013why they think what they think.<\/p>\n

* Steve Sailer writes: I\u2019ve watched 6 hours of \u201cMad Men,\u201d 6 hours of \u201cBreaking Bad,\u201d 6 hours of \u201cDownton Abbey.\u201d These are good shows, but I get bored with dramas after, oh, say, 6 hours. That\u2019s enough to get what the creator\u2019s world is about, and I don\u2019t really care about what happens to the characters since they aren\u2019t real. In general, I figure out the artist\u2019s tricks pretty fast and get bored, which is why I like 2 hour movies: because pretty soon they are over.<\/p>\n

I watched 9 hours of \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d because it was extremely good, but the last half hour was kind of a drag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
