I saw them simply stating the facts as they observed them, and sometimes with malice or perhaps regret in their tone. I do not see how you perceived anyone to be envious of the Jews for being such dishonest crooks. Who would be envious of a liar? <br />That you saw envy in their commentary on the Jews makes me think that you yourself are envious of them. And thus, you are probably secretly on their side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-1651402052450351602017-02-15T14:15:17.410+01:002017-02-15T14:15:17.410+01:00The article linked to in the section about Dershow...The article linked to in the section about Dershowitz includes the following:<br /><br />"Benjamin Disraeli, a Jewish convert to Christianity, and the most famous British prime minister of the nineteenth century wrote that "the native tendency of the Jewish race is against the doctrine of the equality of man. They have also another characteristic -- the faculty of acquisition ...<br />Their bias is to religion, property, and natural aristocracy."<br /><br />Disraeli is here praising Jews and arguing that they are natural conservatives and hence should be given full emancipation. (You are similarly misusing Churchill's pro-Zionist essay, though not so egregiously).<br /><br />It goes on to quote the following:<br /><br />"For one [reason] or another," Daniel Pipes observes, "virtually every major figure in the early history of socialism -- including Friedrich Engels, Charles Fourier, Ferdinand Lasalle, Marx, and Joseph Proudhon -- showed a marked antipathy to Jews"<br /><br />Which is hardly surprising in the light of Disraeli's comments.<br /><br />Now, if we are to say that figures of the past were just recording the plain truth free from the stifling control of PC, we would conclude that Jews are natural aristocrats and enemies of Leftism, but that is obviously not true, and other figures say the precise opposite, so maybe we can arrive at a compromise position.<br /><br />1) Jews have historically exhibited certain behaviours and occupied certain positions in the social structure that inevitably led to hostility on the part of host populations.<br />2) The origins of Christianity as a Jewish sect brought about a history of mutual Christian-Jewish antagonism, one aspect of which was a catalogue of negative claims about each other, many of which are, in fact, unmoored from reality.<br />3) The over-representation of Jews in all areas of society where IQ is relevant makes it plausible, by selective use of evidence, for people of various ideological positions to represent whatever they don't like as Jewish and/or to dislike Jews as representative of whatever they dislike.<br /><br />Now, there's a lot more to say. For example, it's certainly true that Russian Jews hated Russians and that one can't explain the history of Russia 1917-1930, nor the bizarre behaviour of Bill Kristol etc., without some reference to this fact. More open discussion is needed. However, productive discussion does not consist of, and is not furthered by, random lists of contradictory statements saying Jews are bad.<br />Gavriel Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300679563774080284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-4990251281344846272016-11-21T18:57:30.897+01:002016-11-21T18:57:30.897+01:00I was expecting what offensive but possibly true t...I was expecting what offensive but possibly true that people said about ''homossexuals''...

I know well the 'Germanics in the middle states' of which you speak; I'm one of them.<br /><br /> <i>You know, the people you say are "the only ones to have caught the disease" of mass immigration.</i><br /><br />The text doesn't say NW Euros are the only ones who have caught the disease of mass immigration. It says NW Euros are the only ones who have caught the disease of belief in Multiculturalist Religion (see link in the sentence).<br /><br />I find almost nothing in your comment to agree with, either factually or philosophically. So we'll agree to disagree. Again, thanks for taking the time to share. You seem very passionate about racial issues. I hope you're able to channel that passion in constructive ways and to find peace and fulfillment in your daily life.

You can call your brother a jerk, but I can't call him a jerk. That's an attitude as old as time.<br /><br />Blacks are trying to reclaim an insult and turn it into a badge of pride, as did the Suffragettes, Tories, Quakers, and self-proclaimed 'queers' and 'geeks.'<br /><br /><i>It is only a problem when someone from an out-group, particularly a White, that the term suddenly becomes "injurious."</i><br /><br />Exactly. I've been called honkey, gringo, and, after ten years in multicultural France, the full range of anti-white slurs used by their vibrant underclass. None of it touches me. I feel like a Rottweiler with a furious Yorkie nipping at its ankles. <br /><br />I'm a member of the 'More Able' group, whether I like it or not. I can't just wish these things away. My group has created the fabulous first-world societies these people are banging down the door to get into. Historically (at least recent history), my group has utterly dominated theirs. My racial insult against them is pregnant with centuries of subjection and humiliation. A white man calling a black man 'nigger' really hurts. A black man calling a white man 'honky' doesn't. I don't think a handful of posturing rappers changes that fact. But I'm open to persuasion.M.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06817230141673953233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-34811368154833083502016-09-29T20:56:08.644+02:002016-09-29T20:56:08.644+02:003

But the leftists of course use the "They're Nazis!" slur against us. It's funny how you both hate the same people and then come up with completely opposite excuses for doing so.<br /><br />The Left is right of course in that it was Germanics who stood up against the Jews and race-mixing when Meds and Slavs didn't, and it is thanks to Germanics we have racialist political ideas, which didn't exist before other than piecemeal and unspoken. Therefore it is against Germanics all the media and school propaganda is aimed, while Meds and Slavs are glorified. And Germanics are therefore the ones who can't speak out against mass immigration, being constant targets. You wouldn't understand this - any more than Blacks understand how Whites are targeted. I suspect it doesn't matter much to you anyway, since like Blacks your interest is in fleecing Germanics and occupying the nation they built. You are only angry that you have to share the loot with other immigrants.<br /><br />Never mind. The Germanic Trump, the son of a German and a Viking descendant, will clean up the mess. As always it is Germanics who fight the non-Whites, while the other races eagerly adopt Marxist policies and enable mass immigration, from Greeks with their socialism and open transit, to Slavs voting for socialists in every West European country they infest, to the Irish who have always fronted for Jews in U.S. media. But that's an inconvenient little fact, isn't it? Better just make up your own worldview like Blacks and Afghans do. After all, your ancestors gave you some of their blood.Tenetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-20887755553175478692016-09-29T20:55:16.293+02:002016-09-29T20:55:16.293+02:002

The debate in countries like Slovakia was all about how much money they could get from the West through the EU machinery. Which suddenly made south Europeans a bit iffy about the East expansion, because until then they had had the loot to themselves, money flowing from the productive North to the South. Easterners also wanted EU membership so they could flood Germanic nations, for the exact same reasons as Blacks and Arabs want it. They allied with non-Whites against Whites. In the West they vote for the socialist parties to make sure the door is kept open for their Slavic brothers and non-White allies. The Ukrainians overthrew their elected president because they wanted an EU deal so they could get visas and flood the West. But this doesn't fit into your paradigm, does it?<br /><br />Meanwhile in the U.S., Catholics have always been the foremost supporters of mass immigration. The Catholic Church, held up by Irish Celts and their Italian imported allies, has not only pushed for mass immigration but actively caused it. The Cath organization has stations in Africa where they gather Blacks for transport to the U.S. The Catholics have also heavily supported and abetted mass immigration of Mexicans, Nicaraguans etc, as new allies against the hated Protestant Germanics. You know, the people you say are "the only ones to have caught the disease" of mass immigration. Catholics eagerly sided with the Jews against other Whites.<br /><br />Since they study less and therefore have lower incomes, they now live in more immigrant-filled neighborhoods and start seeing what their actions have caused. Then some of them get cold feet. Immigration was supposed to benefit them, but it is inconvenient when they get attacked by immigrants in the street! Maybe not such a good idea after all.<br /><br />Meanwhile Germanics in the middle states have wisely kept away from filling their counties with Blacks, the way Celtic Scots and Irish did in the South. Because of that they have less taste of the Catholic-enabled "diversity", and will be more prone to listen to the pro-Black propaganda in the media, which is always the case when people live in more White areas. And this you use. They kept their counties from being swamped by Blacks and now that is turned against them - it's amazing.<br />Tenetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-31257696043110607382016-09-29T20:28:56.833+02:002016-09-29T20:28:56.833+02:00"only NW Euros seem to have caught the diseas..."only NW Euros seem to have caught the disease" Only dumb Americans call Germanics "NW Euros" as if we lived in some corner. It is northern Europe.<br /><br />"No, because Russia is also in northern Europe, nyah nyah!" By the same logic we should call the U.S. Southern states "the south-east", right? But that's different, because that's an issue you can understand, so then it's called the South.<br /><br />"only NW Euros seem to have caught the disease" A typical lie by Slavs and Meds living in the U.S. How funny that you act just like Blacks, ridiculing Whites for being "weak" or whatever because of mass immigration. Your hatred of those who invented pretty much everything for you, and created the wealth you live off, runs deep. You're welcome for that computer you're using, by the way.<br /><br />First, there's mass immigration all over southern Europe, which apparently you don't know. They also mixed with non-Whites long ago, so the damage is long since done. Portuguese, Spaniards, Italians and Greeks are no longer White, they are a race-mixed herd that never invents anything - the exception being northern Italy which was settled by Germanic Goths, who proceeded to create the inventions that ushered in the Renaissance. The rest? Not very impressive. Spain had a huge advantage in having access to the Mediterranean trade and the Atlantic alike, so they could spread to South America and elsewhere - where they eagerly race-mixed to oblivion. The Portuguese did the same. They brought tens of thousands of Africans to Portugal and mixed with them so that they are now absorbed into the gene pool. Which is why nothing ever is invented in Portugal and almost nothing is produced.<br /><br />Second, Slavs have kept millions of Gypsies around for centuries. Which I'm sure you didn't know. Slavs also became the slaves of Jewish commissars for a couple of generations, maybe something you prefer to not think of. There was no reason to push mass-immigration propaganda in their media and schools, because they were already slaves. There were no elections to control. To keep spirits up in the disaster states called Eastern Europe they were allowed nationalism, patting themselves on the back and bragging about Albanian basket weaving or whatever. South Slavs, of course, were mixed with Turks long ago, which makes the Balkans on par with Afghanistan and Arabs in criminal attitude among the people. Russians were mixed with Mongols and other Asiatic peoples.<br /><br />After communism finally ended, why would they have mass immigration? They were dirt poor. Even though they had U.S.-funded Jews taking over much of the media, for example in Poland, it is hard to push immigration on a people that barely has enough money to survive. And that would make them superior in your eyes? Hah. One third of Russians still think the sun revolves around the Earth because the Bible says so, and they believe in any superstition you can come up with. And by the way, Russians DO have mass immigration from all over the Caucasus region, so that Moscow has more Muslims than any other European capital - if Asiatic Russians can be called Europeans. They have fewer patents than little Singapore, so they don't exactly seem to have White brains. The one good thing about Russia is Putin of course, when he isn't suppressing domestic nationalist organizations.<br />Tenetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-30341341704301701622016-09-29T19:47:46.659+02:002016-09-29T19:47:46.659+02:00"As for Blacks, it is normal that they object..."As for Blacks, it is normal that they object to use of the injurious term 'nigger', considered one of the most hurtful insults in American English."<br />*************<br />Really?

It is only a problem when someone from an out-group, particularly a White, that the term suddenly becomes "injurious."<br /><br />Or will you argue that they are using the term "nigga" (instead of "nigger"), and because it is not the same spelling it is considered as a term of endearment?<br /><br />smhsmhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-82190326161863542282016-09-28T18:40:11.472+02:002016-09-28T18:40:11.472+02:00Andrew--

This idea that diverse groups must have the exact same tastes, talents, leisure activities--it's become an obsession for them.

You made a point that'...Excellent as ever, M.G.<br /><br />You made a point that's not brought up nearly often enough elsewhere: <br /><br />That "diversity" means getting rid of all differences between people. <br /><br />The corollary is, "We must force blacks to do and be things they don't do and won't be without our help/pushing, and then, when they are more like us, they will be perfected."<br /><br />The SJ left betrays its thinking often on this count. In my daily life I get a great deal of pleasure out of highlighting it as it arises. <br /><br />Still, we might guess that the obvious reply to your documentation of real-talking is--get rid of it all! All observations about racial differences must go, past, present, and future, as we force people to be alike! In the name of Sacred Diversity!<br /><br />And yet the differences will never cease. Even the most ideological lefty must know that, deep in their marrow.<br /><br />But think of all the mischief and endeavor that can be encompassed by hectoring the present and attempting to erase the past while ignoring the evidence of everyone's eyes. It is pretty much the perfect hegemonic strategy for those in the Chattering Class enterprises. It is utopian and quixotic, and that which it strives to erase is guaranteed to exist by nature/biology. <br /><br />It's effectively a make-work/career-generating prescription for those made redundant by automation or with suppressed IQs who can't compete in more vigorous sectors.<br /><br />MikkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-13596336611190659572016-09-27T22:53:26.953+02:002016-09-27T22:53:26.953+02:00redzengenoist--

Why ...redzengenoist--<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words. <br /><br /><i>Why are Parsi elites welcomed and lauded, while Jewish and Chinese elites are reviled?</i><br /><br />A fascinating question. Some interesting comments from Indians in that akinokure thread, especially:<br /><br /><i>'They took pains to assimilate, in terms of dress, language, and so on. They only kept their religion. The Parsis I've met have not had bad personalities (like Patels have). And they're not antagonistic towards the larger Hindu society.'</i><br /><br />One of the most frequent Jew-criticisms I ran into while researching was this refusal to assimilate.<br /><br /><i>'India is so heterogeneous that everyone allows for a certain amount of clannishness and nepotism in people who are ethnically different. An ethnically homogeneous country with a single market dominant minority could have a different dynamic.'</i> <br /><br />This is a good point too. It also speaks to Western Jews' seemingly irresistible urge to turn their host countries multicultural. When one stands out less, one is picked on less (whether high- or low-performing).<br /><br /><i>'Parsis are grateful to Hindus for giving them shelter. Hindus are aware of the gratitude of Parsis and view Parsis as fellow victims of islam.'</i><br /><br />This I didn't realize. Perhaps there is also a 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' dynamic at work with the Parsis?<br /><br />An anonymous commenter said:<br /><br /><i>'The old German anthropologists believed that the Jews and southern Chinese (not the northern Chinese, who are mostly the descendants of pastoralists) were naturally selected for merchant ability, i.e. "how to f%@ you over".'</i><br /><br />I must say the number one Jew-criticism I've found was their perceived ruthlessness in business and finance. It really seems to dance around the line between 'More Able' (a better nose for business) and 'Dishonest with Out-groups' (trying to screw over non-Jews). This more than anything seemed to raise the ire of their European hosts. The Parsis, on the contrary, seem to have a reputation for fairness.<br /><br /><i>The reason for the importance is that bigots like Dershowitz deflect criticism by claiming that resentment is purely a function of envy</i><br /><br />This is a common trope. Honestly it seems to me like it is a healthy mix of both envy and, as you put it, 'exceptional anti-social behavior.' To get the kind of anti-Jewish or anti-Chinese reactions we've seen so many times, you need both.<br /><br /><i>Conversely, Gypsy minorities *do* elicit a hostile reaction.</i><br /><br />Indeed, and they are the anti-Jew in many ways. Where Jews over-perform in business, academia, law, medicine, etc, and are generally quite law-abiding, the Gypsies are pretty much completely dysfunctional in every way. There are many of them in the part of Europe where I live, and everyone who comes into contact with them loathes them unreservedly (no matter their political stripe--or what they say publicly). <br /><br />I agree with you the Parsis are an odd case. They really seem to call into question this idea that being a market-dominant minority is in and of itself enough to draw the ire of one's hosts.

Tha...A typically cogent and well-reasoned post, MG. Thank you especially for addressing the JQ in a restrained, but frank manner.<br /><br />On that subject, I would like to suggest that you also address the interesting example of the Parsi. In particular: why are Parsi elites welcomed and lauded, while Jewish and Chinese elites are reviled?<br />http://akinokure.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-are-parsi-elites-welcomed-while.html<br /><br />I have made a similar invitation on one of your previous posts, which touched on a similar subject:<br />http://thosewhocansee.blogspot.com/2013/10/meritocracy-and-its-discontents.html<br /><br />I believe that it is a profoundly important fact that *NOT* all elites are resented and envied. <br /><br />The reason for the importance is that bigots like Dershowitz deflect criticism by claiming that resentment is purely a function of envy, and universal to all high-talent ethnic subgroups, but not caused by exceptional anti-social behaviour on the part of Jews. The existence of beloved elites is a crucial refutation to this claim, which enables so much self-deception on the part of men like Dershowitz.<br /><br />Parsi in India are much beloved, despite having an elite and privileged status in India arguably higher than that of Ashkenazi Jews in the US, and appear to have won this elite status by virtuous traits. But they do not elicit a hostile reaction, much as some other elite groups (Episcopalians, etc) do not in the US. Parsi are almost universally praised in their own host society, which they reciprocally identify with, and sincerely support. There is a ubiquitous proverb which states that "Parsi, thy name is charity". Can you imagine such a proverb existing about Jews or Chinese? This is obviously unthinkable, even ridiculous.<br /><br />Conversely, Gypsy minorities *do* elicit a hostile reaction. Though they also claim to be resented due to "envy", this boast is more transparently dishonest in their case than it is in the case of Dershowitz. Other anti-social ethnic groups (Pikeys, etc) likewise have a long history of hostile reactions to their anti-social behaviour following them in their diaspora. Redzengenoistnoreply@blogger.com
