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

* That Spaniard, Manuel Valls, knows full well that civil war \u2013 fought on racial lines \u2013 is more or less inevitable to occur on the territory occupied by European France, at some in determinant time in the future.
\nIt is *inevitable* that France will end up as a majority black\/brown Muslim dominated state.
\nKnowing the national character of the indigenous French, it is also very likely that the indigenous French will launch some kind of aggressive counterattack.<\/p>\n

Valls knows this. The entirety of the French political class knows this. After all, they created and nurtured this situation for decades. They also know that they will likely be dead once it comes to pass.<\/p>\n

Thus, they \u2018can\u2019t help\u2019 but to let it slip sometimes. It\u2019s all about Freudian projection and suppressed guilt and fear.<\/p>\n

* Also worth bearing in mind a few differences between France and the US: France has maybe 10x as many Muslims as a % of its population, it\u2019s more confident in the supremacy of its national culture, and its not as concerned about civil liberties in law enforcement.<\/p>\n

* I am surprised Marine Le Pen is as successful as she is. Some time ago she gave an interview with the BBC in which they asked her what her response was to those calling her a fascist and a racist. In her reply she denied these charges, said she wasn\u2019t a racist. She ought to have just said what she stood for, \u201cTo those who say I am a racist, I say that I stand for the right of France to retain its French character, for\u2026\u201d Or whatever she stands for. Trump would have had better instincts. Don\u2019t apologise. Don\u2019t fight on the battlefield chosen by the enemy. How are these things not obvious? I hope Trump\u2019s example will serve as a lesson.<\/p>\n

* Virtually the entire French establishment \u2014 media, intelligentsia, the other parties \u2014 are arrayed against the FN. Talk about \u2018negative\u2019 campaigning \u2014 it\u2019s nothing but, 24\/7 \u2014 the BBC never runs an article about the FN where they fail to refer to the party as \u201cfar-right\u201d, a term as loaded as they get.<\/p>\n

* French online magazine published a call \u2013 since removed \u2013 from a guy called Thierry Lecoquierre for right wing French women to be raped by \u201cBlacks, Arabs, Gypsy people\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hopefully that will backfire and help the polling.<\/p>\n

* An obscene tweet<\/a> was posted by a doctor three days ago at the Twitter page of the left-wing journal Le Nouvel Observateur. It was quickly removed but Le Salon Beige managed to get a copy. It calls for the rape and impregnating by blacks of all those who sympathize with the Front National, and it is difficult to translate because of its obscenity. Here\u2019s the general idea:<\/p>\n

FN sympathizers assuredly provide us with sticks to beat them with. Since they like boots and macho, and loathe feminist ideas, let\u2019s play their game: let\u2019s beat them with our sticks (Note: \u201cstick\u201d refers to male genitals)\u2026 Let\u2019s take them at their word, let\u2019s just take them. Since they give us the recipe for mongrelizing the Blue Marine, let\u2019s use it against her camp. Let\u2019s dominate sexually the brainless little \u201cfrontists\u201d (i.e., members of the Front National); let\u2019s get them pregnant without hesitation for the survival of a smiling humanity. Since they are dumb and collapse easily before a deep argument, like woodcocks attracted to the hunter\u2019s trigger, it should be easy. Let\u2019s build a fuzzy-haired progeny (I was going to say curly, but I got scared!) for the party of the extreme right; let\u2019s make a fuzzy chignon for those who say \u201cFrance for the French\u201d, terrorized by differences.<\/p>\n

* A question about Houellebecq: How good is he (in French)? Or is his artistic advantage that he\u2019s a fairly explicit Man of the Right in an era when other male top writers (e.g., David Foster Wallace) were in the closet about being rightists?<\/p>\n

* FN has never been very good at politics, in addition to not having run anything. They have always reminded me of the American Paulist\/Lew Rockwell\/Libertarian types who seem to invest more in being weird for the sake of being weird than in learning how to be good at politics. My sense with FN is that the way to make them go away is let them win an election. Even running a small town would be enough to discredit them forever.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I find fascinating about Team Trump. They seem to be good at politics, despite their man\u2019s grating style. Their manipulation of the free media has been as masterful as you will ever see in American politics. Progressives are the gold standard, but they own the megaphones.<\/p>\n

Team Trump is using the tactics of the Progressives. David Horowitz has written a lot about how radicals have a different way of understanding the world. That even though he has left the movement, he still sees the world as a radical seed it. Whittaker Chambers wrote similarly about communism.<\/p>\n

The Muslim business is a great example. Instead of trying to fit the events into his immigration proposals, Trump takes what\u2019s there to shift the debate in his direction. If a nation is willing to debate a ban on Muslim immigration, it can debate bans on all other types of immigration so he spends some capital on getting the media to legitimize the debate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same dynamic we saw with gay marriage, except that was orchestrated by the party and the media in a coordinated effort. Team Trump is doing this from outside the walls which is not something we have seen in our lifetimes.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m sure most iSteve readers have noticed the tendency of the media to select unflattering photographs of nationalist politicians, poor Nick Griffin has one glass eye so they always managed to find a picture in which his eyes are pointing in different directions, I don\u2019t recall seeing a bad photo of Marine Le Pen, however. What\u2019s up with that?<\/p>\n

* Except that Marine Le Pen is not well-regarded among the hardcore nationalists of the FN, whether Poujadist or Legitimist (her niece Marion is however very well-regarded by the traditional party cadres), especially since she cooperated in ousting her father earlier this year. I argued to a friend, \u201cShe\u2019s not a nationalist; she betrayed her father and she\u2019ll betray her country. The third commandment comes before the fifth; in my mind what she did was worse than murder.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I assure you it all goes far, far beyond some latter-day Ligue Catholique faction plotting in the midst of a last gasp attempt to put the Guise family on the throne. The general consensus among people \u201clike us\u201d in France is that she takes us for granted, knowing the only other option is the former UMP which with its new name \u201cLes R\u00e9publicains\u201d does not seduce any nostalgic of imperial or regal glory. Her line of thought has been described in the mainstream press as a \u201ccynical Gaullist co-optation,\u201d though that\u2019s not quite correct: notwithstanding her praises for Charles de Gaulle himself and her policy proposals which on reflection could fit into theirs, she does not hide her contempt for his prot\u00e9g\u00e9s and political descendants. (On this point I have to agree with her, albeit with some qualifications.)<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, her right-hand man, the flamboyant Florian Philippot (well-surrounded I might add by the passive would-be p\u00e9n\u00e9tr\u00e9s of the FNJ) is a former prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of the socialist-sovereignist Jean-Pierre Chev\u00e8nement (who is little more than a dinosaur of old inter-war Radical nostalgia) willing to say or do anything to eat away at the left\u2019s working class vote, admirably in one sense but without regard for the future cost of certain moves.<\/p>\n

I definitely want Marion to win in PACA. I won\u2019t be too upset if her aunt or Philippot lose in their respective fiefs.<\/p>\n

* He\u2019s bringing up civil war because he knows his people will start it in order to disempower the FN.<\/p>\n

I know little about France but I know the analogous situation here would end very, very poorly for the left.<\/p>\n

If leftists started a civil war against Trump supporters, it wouldn\u2019t last all that long unless the police and military took the left\u2019s side, which is unlikely.<\/p>\n

* Compare and contrast these two clips, the opening of the 2012 London Olympics, and the opening of the 2014 Sochi Olympics.<\/p>\n
