Modern leftism is a plot by some white males to use women and non whites to destroy other white males. Obama is president, but he does not know what some white male has written on his teleprompter until he reads it.

It used to be mandatory to believe that evolution was a mere creation myth, something that happened long, long ago, and far far away, but had not happened in the last hundred thousand years or so, so that it was impossible for there to be differences between races, or indeed between men and woman.
But, in that case, we would still be shaped for eating meat and fat, and not yet shaped for eating wheat and vegetable oil, which is horribly politically incorrect. Vegetable oil would produce heart disease, which is as bad as lack of global warming. And so, it is now mandatory to believe that evolution is extremely fast when it would produce politically correct results, and does not happen at all when it would produce politically incorrect results.
PC gets ever more stupid, as the arrogance of power has excused it from making any sense at all. (more…)
When I was in Sunnyvale in 2005 November, the vast majority of people who were buying million dollar houses were no-hablo-english hispanics on foodstamps with no regular job buying houses no money down. As far as I could tell, every person buying a house for over a million dollars was an unemployed underclass non white. Earlier there had been some whites buying, but by November, anyone with a credit rating or an employment history had given up on buying or was trying to sell.
I don’t have any direct evidence that Bloomberg’s cover accurately displays the way things are now, but it accurately displays what I saw with my own eyes in Sunnyvale California in November 2005. It was million dollar welfare handouts back then, and I doubt that things have improved under Obama.
You may ask who gets to lose the money this time around. The answer, this time around, is instead of the fed indirectly, it is the fed directly. Instead of bailing out those who irresponsibly buy mortgage backed securities, it has been buying mortgage backed securities directly – which means those who foolishly treat dollars as money will, eventually, be those paying.
The pile of hundred dollar bills that the dog is using for its bed were freshly printed up by the federal reserve, which obtained in exchange mortgage backed securities, hence reports no loss. Indeed, it has reported no loss on any of the very large pile of mortgage backed securities that it now owns, even though, for the most part, no one has made any payments on the mortgages underlying those securities. This is your off the books deficit, which outweighs the on the books deficit to the same degree as off the books welfare outweighs on the books welfare – your deficit, in the sense that if you are one of America’s rapidly diminishing minority of taxpayers, people think you are going to pay it. You are going to be making that dog’s bed.
Mestizos in California drive cars even though no one really expects them to have a driving license or third party insurance, and not all of them know how to drive a car. To deny them the right to drive a car by imposing white centric standards of licensing on them would be raaaaciiisssst. Similarly, expecting them to make payments on the mortgage would be raaaaciiisssst.
Equality before the law obviously is not equal if the law reflects white behavior. And so, equality before the law quietly transforms into statistically equal impact of the law. Expecting mestizos to make mortgage payments would impact them more severely than it impacts whites. Mestizos are a voting majority in California. Californian blacks, who are a voting minority, still need to pay their mortgages and get driver’s licenses. Theoretically Hispanic privilege extends to all Hispanics, to anyone who claims to be Hispanic, and that is federal law and practice, but suspiciously white looking Hispanics find that they do not get some of the more outrageous Hispanic California state privileges. Now that Hispanics have a majority in California, it is becoming harder to qualify as one of this privileged group.
Occidentalist has updated his survey of surveys. Despite radical social changes and a wide variety of testing regimes, American black IQ always tests out one standard deviation below American white IQ. Similar differences in character and criminal propensities are obvious.
How big is one standard deviation? (more…)
Winston Churchill quipped that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms.
Democracy worked when the franchise was restricted to property owning adult male heads of households, and when the population had high moral standards. Visitors to America frequently remarked that while democracy worked for Americans, Americans being virtuous and self reliant, it would not work for the corrupt and degenerate mob they had back in their home countries.
Today the white population is substantially fatherless, the other populations generally worse, those on some form of government benefit substantially outnumber those paying taxes, and the government is buying up huge numbers of low IQ voters from the third world and importing them.
We used to at least get Mexicans who wanted to work, but increasingly, these days we get the Mexican underclass, the ones that normal Mexicans do not want, people who lived on their votes in Mexico, and proceed to do the same in the USA. We used to get Mexicans imported by farmers to pick strawberries, but we now get Mexicans imported by politicians to vote left.
Now the voters are a corrupt and degenerate mob that votes for the highest bidder, resulting in insolvency and socialism.
The modern electorate is substantially composed of bastards (people who were not raised by their biological fathers) and is in substantial part composed of an underclass purchased by politicians and imported from foreign lands.
And so democracy votes for insolvency and socialism.
Government is not the solution to public good problems, but the rather the greatest public good problem of them all. A public that cannot themselves produce public goods, cannot produce good government.
With a corrupt and decadent public, elections become advance auctions of stolen goods. Everything is up for grabs, thus private property is insecure, hence is not used productively. Everything is dissipated, spent on buying votes, thus public and private insolvency. Toyota gets sued for practicing capitalism without being a crony.
We are always moving leftwards, but not every leftwards program succeeds. Should one fail, they try something different.
I have not published much on warmism lately, because they were defeated by Climategate, even though every academic institution, every government institution, and every group of organized scientists swore fealty to Warmism, officially proclaimed that Climategate was no big deal, and have been trying to carry on as if Climategate was no big deal. But now they are subsiding, so time for a post mortem on the warmist movement, which has pretty much gone the way of the communist movement, where fans of the proletariat have shrunk down to few little academic circles holding reality at bay from behind their little Berlin walls, while the rest of the communist movement substitute females and minorities for the proletariat, and continue business as usual.

Joe Huffman estimates that in civil war, the right would have overwhelming military superiority.
As, of course, it would. Obviously. But boots on the ground are insufficient. As Stalin said “Ideas are more powerful than guns”. The problem is not that the federal government has tanks and artillery. That is not doing it much good in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the rest. The problem is that progressives have intellectual dominance.
The majority of voters are illegitimate and/or non white and/or female and/or illegal immigrants. What do you do when a violent, corrupt, despotic, and tyrannical government is more or less freely and fairly elected? For example, the Nazis in Germany, Allende in Chile, Chávez in Venezuela, or … Jerome Cavanagh in Detroit. (more…)
Author John Scalzi’s propensity for terrified whimpering grovelling before leftists has led Heartiste to coin a new word “Scalzied”:
When men are scalzied manboobs and women are manjawed feminists, the bedroom is an arid wasteland of dashed passion.
The Men’s Rights Activist program is real equality for men and women, wherein women make their own decisions and take the consequences of their own decisions. It is a logically consistent and libertarian position, but can never be an emotionally consistent position because it is a cold, callous, nasty, hateful position that no one believes in, no one supports, a position that can never be popular.
The only logically and emotionally consistent position.that can ever be popular, is Pauline male supremacism, male supremacism in accordance with the doctrines of Saint Paul the Apostle, a position that condescends to women gently and affectionately..
Don’t be a Men’s Rights Activist. Be a Male Supremacist. It is more likely to be politically successful, and you are more likely to get laid. (more…)
The Audacious Epigone reminds us of the courage of John Derbyshire who told us:
To the dissident, the only thing worth pondering about the proposition is, is it true? If it is, then no king’s command can falsify it; and if it is not, then not even the assent of a hundred million will make it true.
Predictably, one year after he said this, he was persecuted for speaking truth to power.
The dissident, therefore, has disturbing characteristics in common with the nerd, in fearlessly pursuing obscure knowledge that is of little personal use to him, or likely to be actively harmful to him. Who could be nerdlier than Stephen McIntyre of Climate Audit?
But, on the other hand, Steve McIntyre defeated the united forces of the state, academia, and the scientific establishment by exposing the hockey stick fraud. After seven years of struggle, in 2012 October, the scientific establishment quietly decided that no further hockey sticks shall be published or publishable, and quietly conceded that the medieval climatic optimum happened. He won, the entire marshaled and united forces of official science lost. He is now pursuing mopping up operations to get the worst offenders punished. They are unlikely to be punished, but that they are discredited (and thus all of official science discredited) is implicitly admitted by the retreat. There is something not very nerdly about such a victory. (more…)
