How could they foresee that their heirs would willingly embrace their own extinction…..

Having visited a few national parks in the past 72 hours, I am grateful for the foresight of past generations. En route, I saw some freeway road signs advertising rest stops that were public-private partnerships. Seeing those, and wondering about the business model that would be used to pitch those to governments (some real estate play, vending machine kickbacks, pay toilets, etc), made me glad that we don’t yet have the PPP disease infecting parks.

Brown and Green: Were the Nazis Forerunners of Environmental Movements?

http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/features/brown-and-green-were-the-nazis-forerunners-of-environmental-movements-1.513354

In 1935, two years after the Nazis rose to power, the German government passed a Reich law for the protection of the natural environment, a law whose scope was unprecedented at the time and whose goal was to protect and care for the homeland’s natural environment. The law included regulations for the protection of flora and fauna, as well as for the conservation of unique natural phenomena of scientific importance and of aesthetic and cultural value.

The Reich’s green laws – although this might sound sarcastic – forbade the slaughtering of animals that had not been previously anaesthetized and fixed limits on experiments on animals. Within the context of the Reich’s laws for the protection of the natural environment, organic agriculture, which encouraged the use of manual plowshares in small farms instead of heavy machinery, was advanced.

The article writer doesn’t seem aware that one of the major figures of conservationism was a housewife who never even finished high school.

Hitler was a vegetarian. It all fits together!

According to his Wikipedia entry, Grant never had children.

This seems to be a pattern among many WN’s.Complain about the disappearance of Whites, just don’t do anything to increase their number-but do complain about the increase in non-Whites.

There must be diminishing returns to the “Nazi” label, after all. For my immediate reaction to the title “Environmentalism’s Racist History” was that it would be all about Nazis. Lo and behold, they stick to homegrown “pseudo-scientific” white supremacism. (Because the Madison Grants of the world haven’t been stomped on enough, from the Great Gatsby to the Current Year.) Maybe they thought we’d be confused if they incorporated German intellectual history. Their right sounded an awful lot like our left at the time.

Is T.R. in or out right now? There was that Ken Burns documentary, and lefties still cream over national parks. But we’re talking about a guy who wrote books about winning the West, for the Current Year’s sake.

I ‘spose he one that can be circulated in and out of acceptability as needed.

Purdy is the kid argued against irony, right? He won’t like this post.

“Jedediah Purdy is out on what he likes to call a ramble. Walking through the wooded hills near his family’s remote West Virginia house, he snaps up wild blackberries and feels the soil that has been punished by the summer’s drought. He eventually reaches a high meadow and finds a sprawling ash tree that holds special meaning for him. “I had vaguely animist sensibilities as a boy,” he says, spreading his pale hand along the bark. “I used to come and drink from this tree after a rain. Water would seep from its exposed roots. I had no predictive theory of what would happen when I drank from it. I just figured I would find out.” If the natural world once inspired mystical thoughts in Purdy, it now brings out his professorial side. Pausing to examine a dry stream bed, he muses: “Nature is a complicated and layered repository of human aspirations. It was a privilege to grow up in this landscape.”

http://partners.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/19990905mag-sincere-culture.html

“Irony is not just something we watch, it’s something we do,” Purdy said. “It renders everything cliche. Unique moments seem impossible.”

I <3 THAT!!

“Yellow is not something we eat, it’s something we do,” Moshe said. "It smells like a cloth. Collated interrogations seem chewy."

The way of the destroyers is to silently hijack everything. Conservatism, environmentalism, religion have all been destroyed with the anti-white virus. There are only a handful of true environmentalists around nowadays. You’ll never see their views expressed in papers like the New Yorker or the Guardian.

I think I’ve just come to understand something. The invasive white people of that generation, once they’d become comfortable in their new home, had a feeling that people–the American Indians and the previous whites–hadn’t had about North America: that it was a thing separate from them, and worth preserving.

The Indians hadn’t had that sense of it, nor had the old-timer whites: it was the water they were swimming in. It was good or bad by turns, but only to the degree that it affected them.

“The author is definitely a triple-distilled SWPL type.”

Thanks for pointing this out. Emmanuel Macron just got elected President of France. Purdy is exactly the sort of people our elites would put in the White House, if they had the confidence of the French elites.

The late Garrett Hardin (1915-2003) was one of the last great environmentalists.

That was awesome!

Macron’s success as the most forceful power bottom in history, and Marie Le Pen’s abject failure, is a huge indicator that France is very, very feminist. There is nothing White women like better than a gay White man; he’s the perfect version of a non-Alpha White male. Not interested in them, with a debauched and unhealthy sex life that excites them. Plus interested in the same things … fashion, fabulousness, and glitter.

Macron, however, may have just now figured out: A. There are about 50 million Africans willing to move to France RIGHT NOW and start voting/rioting/killing. B. He won’t be Field Marshall Jupiter Power Bottom and President of France but rather a rotting corpse about a year tops, after those Africans move to France and turn it into Greater Niger.

Yes, White women love gays. Its why Ireland has a gay Pakistani as Prime Minister — women love that stuff. Men not so much, they are surveys tell us, at least White men, disgusted reflexively by gay sex. Which makes sense, its a huge disease vector and historically small population Whites could not afford African levels of die-offs.

Yes. For quite some time now.

… about the character and future of a country that they were sure was theirs and expected to keep.

I think the same could have been said about the Founders. The same could probably be said about other people and their countries too. Mexicans probably think they are sure Mexico is theirs and they expect to keep it. Israelis probably think they are sure Israel is theirs and they expect to keep it. Japanese probably think they are sure Japan is theirs and they expect to keep it.

Gotta love it. Once the intersectionally awoke SJWs pull their head out of their arse and start reading something that isn’t on their Ipad and comes from outside their sterile little bubble, they find out that the taint of original sin even despoils their very own sacred causes.
Aaargh.

After all, could there be anything worse for your self righteousness than finding out that the sacred cow that you have been sacrificing to all along, has been pooping on the sly in your bottled water, even before you were born and could do anything about it?

I look for a rise in incidents of violence and rage, along with claims that “Drumpf made me do it”.
That is after all, what scape goats are for when sacred cows go on the fritz.

This is why the conservative project is a folly. The argument that ‘only a few years/decades ago, everyone thought like that’ will eventually used by the Red Guards to indict all your ancestors.
It is necessary to be at least a reactionary, if not a restorationist.

It can only help to acknowledge just how many environmentalist priorities and patterns of thought came from an argument among american-indian people, some of them bigots and racial engineers, about the character and future of a country that they were sure was theirs and expected to keep.

welp!

“Pond Scum”??

The New Yorker is funnier than any parody of its milieu could ever be.

You are right about “Zardoz”, one of the most interesting films ever made. It’s unfortunate that the costume designer got his way with Sean Connery’s (“Zed”) red satin diaper: that’s the only defect in the film. It’s one cult classic (along with “Conan the Barbarian”) that I never tire of.

The film is a witty skewering of the elite and their pretensions. It’s amusing to see that they literally live in a bubble (the “Vortex”) and profess to feel sorry for the “brutals” living outside in the barbaric outlands, but not sorry enough to keep a sharper eye on Arthur Frain and his artistically-genocidal manipulations. Because they must not reproduce (they are immortal) and outrun the resources taken by Frain from the outlands, they are prohibited from sex. This becomes just too much for a very fetching young Charlotte Rampling after Zed stows away in the flying head of Zardoz ( a fake god concocted by Frain to keep the brutals in awe) and enters the Vortex as a Shiva-like destroyer/creator messiah figure.

Best line: “The gun is good!” Also, beautiful music of Beethoven (7th Symphony, Second Movement) sung by a European boy’s choir.

He now teaches at Duke Law School so the transformation is entirely complete.

How long will it take the Bundys to embrace the conservationists-are-real-racists narrative?

I do recall that, as recently as the 1980s, the Sierra Club opposed more immigration. Has that changed since then?

We need a new term for all this East Coast media-center brilliance. I propose New York Stupid

In the Badenian German dialect, the word is “iwwergscheit” – overbright, roughly. It’s to be pronounced with an ironic smile (or a grimace).

“All these racist National Parks”

- Literally so – or how else would one have to explain, why there’s lots of whites in those parks, and only a few black persons here and there? And as David Hume says above – wasn’t Hitler a vegetarian – – and wasn’t he white too, and didn’t he protect nature – – it all fits in quite nicely in this unmasking of the evilness of the the WASPIAN inventors of – in reality: Krypto-fascist and openly militarist even*** conservationism. Qed. R. i. p. (Sancta simplicitas).

What’s the point of this article? Are they expecting us to stop caring about our national parks?

Alt-rightists could hijack Purdy’s narrative: If you like what Madison Grant did for the environment, check out some of his other interests. Come for the environmentalism. Stay for the racism.

The beloved Jacques Cousteau of PBS/NPR documentaries was the epitome of white environmentalists and an Eco-warrior. We watched raptly as he and his crew of the Calypso sailed around the world protecting the undersea ecology and denizens. Not mentioned too often and probably news to a lot of readers here, Cousteau was a eugenicist. He proposed that the world needed to eliminate at least 350,000 per day. Per day is not a misquote or exaggeration on my part, as Cousteau thought that max population for the globe should be 250,000,000. A simply Google search of Cousteau and eugenics will be eye opening. Jacques favored his finny friends over people. Left unsaid is which people he proposed to eliminate.

Cite needed.

In McLynn’s biography of Marcus Aurelius, he talks of how the late Roman Empire used to identify young talent in the Germanic tribes, bring them to Rome for “education” then release them back into the tribes to wreak havoc.

So operates the brain drain/babe drain today.

It seems to be a random collection of unrelated words. Sort of like Walden, only less purposeful. I wonder what drugs he’s on.

Good stuff at that site, for example this from Hugo Ramos:

I didn’t want to write this, but it’s definitely time. I’ve been seeing you making efforts around town to try and stop cultural appropriation. Scolding the insensitive souls that ignorantly use other’s cultures like they were just throw-away props. Well, I must say it is a noble effort but a fair bit problematic because pointing out cultural appropriation is actually a part of MY culture. Essentially, you were trying to prevent cultural appropriation while culturally appropriating my culture’s culture of pointing out cultural appropriation. You can clearly see where the problem lies, right?

As recently as the 1980s, the Sierra Club opposed more immigration.

That’s an important thought, that might have to do with the running havoc aspect (the self-parody, as somebody here called it) of this New Yorker article. It’s catch-22, if you try to be pro conservationism and pro immigration at the same time, and attacking conservationism therefor is one possible solution.

The other one is, of course, to silence the Sierra club on immigration. (cf. Rob X’s comment about David Gelbaum, who spent 200 Million Dollars in order to achieve this quite un-environmental goal).

And there shouldn’t be. Conservatism is conservationism focused on people, instead of animals.

EG, Julius Evola, who even argued against the importance of mass populations (the Romans and British didn’t rule by sheer numbers, after all).

Essay question: who did more for White reproductive success, Evola or Oscar Wilde (whom Evola cites as a major influence in his autobiography).

Environmentalism is communism disguised as a “save the earth from humanity” movement.
These “limp-wristed. birkenstock-wearing, prius-driving, tree and bunny hugging” poor excuses for human beings are not above using government to abrogate private property rights, using the power of government to restrict what one can do with one’s own land. They would have a more valid argument for putting land off-limits if they put up their own money and PURCHASED the land. Restricting what one can do on one’s own land constitutes a “taking” and is Constitutionally impermissible. THAT, my friends, is communism at its finest.
If environmentalists had their way, they would use draconian methods (scientifically-engineered diseases or other methods) to reduce the earth’s first-world population, as they themselves see humanity as a pestilence (except for themselves). The remaining population would be relegated to cities with soviet-style apartments, using bicycles or trains for transportation. Cars and the countryside would be reserved for environmentalists only, with their country “dachas”. off-limits to the mere “unwashed” rest of humanity.
Let’s look at some of the damage the “environmental movement” has done:
1. The false religion of “earth worship” (GAIA) is but one aspect of rabid environmentalism. The earth is much more resilient than most people believe. There are naturally-occurring oil spills–oil venting from the ocean floor among other locations. Ever hear of the “La Brea tar pits”? THAT is a good example of a naturally occurring “oil spill” at its finest. After the Exxon Valdez oils spill, clean-up efforts by environmentalists were actually counterproductive. The areas that were left alone recovered much faster than those that these well-meaning, but misguided “environmentalists” attempted to clean up. Sure sold a lot of “Dawn” liquid dish detergent, though…
2. The false premise that Freon R-12 was causing havoc in the upper atmosphere was another environmental lie. The chlorine molecule is too heavy to make it into the upper atmosphere. Freon R-12 (one of the best, stable, non-poisonous refrigerants known to mankind) was banned because its patents expired, NOT because of toxicity. This was another (successful) example of environmentalists’ Luddite mentality manifesting itself.
3. Let’s not forget the lies and dirty dealings environmentalists put out by their actions. Government biologists attempted to put large swaths of forests “off-limits” to logging by “planting” lynx fur at various locations. This action would have resulted in the prohibition of logging in large areas. Fortunately they were caught…of course, they were not punished for attempting to defraud the American public.
4. Global warming, once again… The emails from East Anglia University in which “scientists” planned to “skew” data concerning global warming in order to further their (communist control) agenda were fortunately revealed. Follow the money…
Even NASA has been involved in the “global warming” lie. NASA “scientists” placed temperature monitoring equipment in asphalt parking lots, on roads and streets, contrary to acceptable scientific temperature monitoring practices, in order to prove that “global warming” was taking place.
5. The “spotted owl” fiasco was but another means for environmentalists to achieve control over private property. It turns out that there are many variations in species with identical DNA. Part of the problem with environmentalism, (and even the general public) is the “Disneyfication” of animals…imbuing impossible human characteristics to animals, even giving them “rights” above the needs of humans. Look at how many landowners are denied use of their property because of a spider or mouse. The so-called “endangered species” movement is fraudulent all the way around and is used by environmentalists to “take” land without compensation to the owners. Of course, landowners have had to “shoot, shovel. and shut up” to keep control of their land. There is no such thing as “animal rights”…
The environmental movement has always been based on fraud and lies…FOLLOW THE MONEY…

Hello!! It’s the current year!! Get with it, Spotty! Thoreau was white. White! Therefore, it follows.

Gun laws are anti criminal.

Yeah, is that why you can’t get shot in NYC or Chicago? Have the criminals started obeying the law now, or just those particular gun laws?

Gun laws mostly are respected by the law-abiding gun-owners, until they get egregious (as in CA, and upstate NY where people have been rightfully ignoring the worst of it). I don’t mean law-abiding people LIKE the laws, but they abide for the most part. Criminals by definition don’t obey all the laws. Gun control is about the only statist trend that has been turned around by patriotic Americans.

I don’t care what the roots are of these laws – the only gun law that applies to all of us, via control of the Feral Government, is Amendment II of the US Constitution.

The “point” is that these are the opening shots of a campaign to break up the parks and sell the land to developers.

http://www.molecularecologist.com/2017/07/nprs-muddled-take-on-scientific-racism-and-direct-to-consumer-genetics/ the post, in which biological anthropologist Barbara King reviews the new book Is Science Racist by anthropologist Jonathan Marks, starts off with a premise that took me aback:

“If you espouse creationist ideas in science [Marks writes] you are branded as an ideologue… But if you espouse racist ideas in science, that’s not quite so bad. People might look at you a little askance, but as a racist you can coexist in science alongside them, which you couldn’t do if you were a creationist. Science is racist when it permits scientists who advance racist ideas to exist and to thrive institutionally.” This is a strong set of claims, and Marks uses numerous examples to support them. For example, a 2014 book by science writer Nicholas Wade used genes and race to explain, as Michael Balter put it in Science magazine, “why some people live in tribal societies and some in advanced civilizations, why African-Americans are allegedly more violent than whites, and why the Chinese may be good at business.”

[T]he first example of racist science is Nicholas Wade, who is … not actually a scientist. And whose 2014 book inspired a panel of 139 evolutionary geneticists (many of them who did research Wade cited in the book) to sign a letter to the New York Times saying that Wade was wrong That was after the book racked up blistering takedowns, pans, criticism, denunciation, elaborate multi-part debunkings, and condemnations from people who actually work with the kind of data Wade cited — including right here on this very blog. This is science “permitting scientists who advance racist ideas to exist and to thrive institutionally”?

(The other example the blog post gives of a racist scientist tolerated by the mainstream, psychologist Phillipe Rushton, I have literally only ever heard about in the context of condemnations of his theories on racial differences in intelligence.)

To be clear, there is unreconstructed racism in science, from structural biases in education and career progression all the way through to James Watson, and science has often been a tool for reinforcing society’s racism. Nevertheless, I can’t think of a clearer case of a scientific field reacting against racist misuse of its data than evolutionary geneticists telling Nicholas Wade “you know nothing of our work.” We don’t want a cookie for that — writing against Troublesome Inheritance was an ethical responsibility for scientists who study genetics. But it would be nice not to have Wade characterized as one of our respected colleagues.

The Phillips Exeter is the giveaway: one of the articles about Purdy disingenuously informs us that he only applied there because “it was the only private school he had ever heard of”. Now why might that be, the inquiring reader should ask himself. It is not as though Exeter is the most famous private school in the land, nor one whose name is likely to be much bandied about in rural West Virginia.
The answer? It turns out that his mother, a lawyer, comes from a wealthy and influential family in Delaware. A word or two in the right ear, and presto, off he went.
I’ve nothing at all against this. What I don’t like is the studied refusal to be frank about his background, be it on his own part or that of his many curiously attracted admirers.

As for Madison Grant: he most certainly is worth reading, as is Lothrop Stoddard. They were prophets. Unlike many a prophet, they were very definitely listened to in their own time, and had much to do with the passing of the blessed immigration act of 1924.
That they are now damned and derided is just one more measure of our floundering decay.

Ach Achmed, ehh – perfect – you got it just right. I mean at least the idea of the pronounciation and all. Congrats!
- My attempt was to get this thought across, you know: – Being overbright is – if you outsmart yourself – – – and don’t grab, that you don’t outsmart the others – – – at the same time…it’s not that complicated, , because everybody can see right away, and not that simple either.

It might mean quite the same in the end as “New York Stupid”. – If that was the case, why bother? Language is not only a means; – sometimes, if people know, how to play the game, it’s an end too, isn’t it?

I got through a third of it and I do not brlirve that I have benefitted from the reading. Please share the punchline?

I don’t recall you being jew-crazy when you first showed up here but something must have clicked. Purdy probably isn’t Jewish but for some reason youe comment went the jew angle.

I’m not trying to convince you of anything because I don’y care what your thoughts are but it’s a curiosity to me that you seem to have caught the popular bug here of going all “rah rah goy” or “oy vey”ing when it is at counterpoint to the post, which is precisely about a goy destroyer. I get that you can blame jews for onfluencing him or somethong but you must realize that that’s insane and that you caught a bug.

If I’m wrong and Purdy is Jewish or if you had the jew thing before you came here that would be interesting.

Anyhow, consider whether you’ve kind of lost it and your brain has gotten jew obsessed in a manner that isn’t a credit to your race.

Oh, it’s satire.

I don’t know anything about Purdy Mouth so I didn’t get it.

Those “in tune with nature” bathos-filled TV infomercials about communitarian, non-capitalistic, non-alienated South Continental pygmies living a fulfilling jungle-based life of subsistence, dodging caring predators and sharing parasistes while harvesting all thegood stuff that nature naturally provides that my progressive friends looking for meaning tell me about just make me retch.

Yea, the “Noble Savage” myth is one the dumbest ideas in world history.

If a man who cares more doesn’t reproduce and advocates people who care less to reproduce, then caring-more-ness declines.

That may be partly why Catholicism has been in decline in the West. All those Catholic saints and priests who cared more didn’t reproduce.

you seem to have caught the popular bug here

I doubt he caught it here.

White privilege is nothing if not the privilege to be called racist.

In the 1950s we were looking for commies under every bed. Today the libs/lefties/Dems are looking for racists under every bed. The young white commentariat is on automatic when it comes to being obsessed with uncovering racism. Bunch of ill educated self-haters, it is so pajama boy weak and pathetic. They disgust me.

I don’t recall you being jew-crazy when you first showed up here but something must have clicked.

I haven’t noticed that he is “jew-crazy”. Perhaps you are just “anti-semite-crazy”.

Purdy probably isn’t Jewish but for some reason youe comment went the jew angle.

No, what 27 year old said was this:

“So is this whole article just a set-up to get to the “nah nah nah goys, the country isn’t yours anymore and won’t be ever again?””

I think it reasonable to assume that charges of white supremecism are directed at white gentiles, not Jews. When are they ever directed at Jews?

Hey thanks, if there’s one thing I always appreciate, it’s unsolicited psychoanalysis.

Both Grant and Stoddard were gentlemen amateurs of high culture and superior intelligence. They were not professional scientists, nor did either pretend to be.
Gobineau was the same, and his general idea – the superiority of those nations led by the Germanic racial type (which of course includes the whole of Europe and Russia too, all led until the disaster of 1918 (1789 for France) by Germanic noble castes, however much diluted in Spain, Portugal, and Southern Italy) – remains persuasive for those of us who actually look around.
Germany itself, broken in 1918 and smashed into near nothingness in 1945, was back on top within a decade.
Their on-top-ness will only cease when they do.
A stark denouement which may, I fear, be now not very far from fulfilment.

Grant and other elite WASPs of the period were probably constitutionally less fertile and thus more alarmed and focused on other groups’ fertility

Many eugenicists had no children at all. I think that concentrated the mind.
