I couldn’t find any “awful” photos, although she does look a bit older.

Likely because of the electroshock treatment administered to her on Mad Men.

Oddly, she then married Pete Campbell, so that also must have put on some wear and tear.

The linkages to Intell are indeed mind boggling. Or mind opening.

Perhaps she could star in The Shadow Over Innsmouth?

The wisest verdict on pornography came from Gore Vidal (a very Jew-wise WASP):

“Pornography is for people without imagination.”

When people (well, mostly men I suppose) reach puberty they will gravitate to anything which seems to give some content to these strange new urges. In the past, it might have been the lingerie section of the Sears catalog. If someone had a Playboy, then that. Later, they’d try to unscramble a Cinemax broadcast. And there’s nothing essentially harmful in that.

Today, however, pornography is everywhere, and pushed on younger and younger people. So you have to ask: who’s doing the programming? Who is supplying the content for these imaginations?

The problem isn’t pornography, which has been around for millennia (hence the Greek name). It’s the Jewish programming.

This Pod People is more fun. And it even has Trumpy in it!

“In a 1995 interview, Haines explained the value of erotic readings to the Sun, saying it has “spontaneity, twists and turns.”

“Erotica has become more prevalent because people are trying to have sex without having sex,” she told the paper. “Others are trying to find new fantasies to make their monogamous relationships more satisfying.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/23/us/politics/biden-haines-national-intelligence.html

“President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s pick for the director of national intelligence, Avril D. Haines, is a politically moderate national security professional who is likely to win confirmation in a sharply divided Senate but encounter hard criticisms from the left.”

“It’s clear that she has eclectic interests,” said John O. Brennan, the former C.I.A. chief who picked her to be the agency’s deputy director. “Even, you know, bohemian.”

In one session attended by a Baltimore Sun reporter, Ms. Haines kicked off the reading with an Anne Rice fairy tale and then gave the reporter a spirited defense of the “spontaneity, twists and turns” of erotic fiction.

“‘As an agency, you get rewarded for growing the agency, not the client.’ Growing the agency, not the client? Who’d want to hire them, then?”

cf: Where are the client’s yachts?

Someone somewhere pointed out that there was no evidence that “advertising” actually “works” i.e. increases sales. What ad agencies do is schmooze a company into becoming a client. The only “sale” they make is to the client, to get them to sign on the line which is dotted (Glengarry Glen Ross).

When “whores” become “high class call girls”, their “johns” become “clients”.

“It’s all fake — mere virtue signalling. They do not give a damn about blacks, Amerindians, or any other group except for themselves.”

And animals. Don’t forget the animals.

“That’s the thing you gotta remember about WASPs – they love animals, they can’t stand people.” — Gordon Gekko, Wall Street

“America as a whole could take on another 100 million non-whites and still be in decent enough shape to be 2-3 rungs above Brazil.”

“2020 was the last real election. Or, depending upon your point of view, 2016 was”

Look, we just need to stop cancelling this or that book, one at a time, and realize that books AS SUCH are oppressive, an invention of huwhite men which, even if not intended to oppress Black bodies (although it probably was) never the less does oppress Black bodies, as its very existence exposes the supposed “inadequacy” of rich, fertile and loamy Black oral culture.

Why do you think they call it a “press”?

“Ripped butts”? Took me a while to figure that one out. I had rather different image in mind, more like that guy who got fired after that Zoom meeting.

I guess the Brits would say “ripped fags.”

Gone but not forgotten:

“The Nightboy Cometh: Reflections — In a Jaundiced Eye — on Calder Willingham’s End as a Man & Jack Garfein’s The Strange One”

https://counter-currents.com/2015/11/the-nightboy-cometh/

Willingham’s End as a Man was turned into an even more bizarre “method actor” film, starring Ben Gazarra. Well worth a view; Gazarra’s “Oscar Wilde in military school” performance is mind melting.

Wikipedia sez: During the late ’40s and early ’50s, Willingham was considered at the forefront of the gritty, realistic new breed of postwar novelists: Norman Mailer, James Jones, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and others, many of whom also made up the Greenwich Village literary scene at the time. While in 1969 Newsweek said his fiction “deserves a place among the dozen or so novels that must be mentioned if one is to speak of greatness in American fiction.”

Not so great as to deserve their own Wikipedia entries, however, including his first novel, End as a Man. The main CW entry does give some idea of what the fuss was about: after dropping out of The Citadel, he moves to New York, where

“Willingham’s career began in controversy with End as a Man (1947), a withering indictment of the macho culture of military academies, introducing his first iconic character, sadistic Jocko de Paris. The story included graphic hazing, sex, and suggested homosexuality, which in a period celebrating military victory, led the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice to file obscenity charges against its publisher, Vanguard Press. The charges were ultimately dropped, but not before a trial which made the book a cause célèbre, famous writers rallying to its defense. Reviews singled out its savage humor and realistic dialogue.”

Fun Fact: Vanguard Press was a commie outfit, which “issued an array of books on radical topics, including studies of the Soviet Union, socialist theory, and politically oriented fiction by a range of writers [including] the first books of Nelson Algren, Saul Bellow, Marshall McLuhan, Joyce Carol Oates and Dr. Seuss.

Another fun fact: he wrote a draft of iSteve fave The Graduate which was eventually rewritten by Buck Henry; but much to Henry’s annoyance, he got the screenwriters’ guild to demand he get co-writing credit on screen.

“Although the black kids are a minority, just one or two of the characters, they are presented with respect and are clearly on equal footing with the white kids.”

Uh-uh, not good enough. The Black characters must be portrayed as hyper-intelligent and natural leaders of the gang, as they would be in real life (see: any Denzel Washington movie). This kind of racist stereotyping is what has been oppressing Black bodies for decades.

The Porsche Boxster is a chick car.

Anti-Semites are the real racists!

Actually, likely an ironic holdover from all the anti-German propaganda for WWI and WWII. You’ll notice all those Poles, Russians etc. with their unreadable names get a free pass. (Is the lack of vowels due to Jewish influence?)

Question: did steerage class Jews with unpronounceable names gravitate to Germanic names in their new homeland? Grjuenewiczie to Grunwald to (after enough time) Green?

Or was it like in The Godfather II, where young Vito gets dubbed “Corleone” because that’s his village back home and the clerk can’t be bothered to be accurate? Young Oiving Berlusoiogsjosfs becomes “Irving Berlin”

Francis of Assisi?

“The 800-page bill basically codifies all the problematic practices of the 2020 election into law.”

Yeah, that’s their answer to everything. Illegal immigration a problem? Make it legal! Election fraud a problem? Make it legal! Illegal drug use out of control? Make it legal! Cops are a killjoy? Defund the police (make everything legal!). Dilemma over, problem solved, everyone happy!

Portugal, Italy? Sunny, cheap, laid back, White. OK, I’d go for that.

You want religion? Catholicism but no one cares, perfect; not like those Protestant busybodies who have mutated into the SJWs.

“I prefer to live in Catholic societies, there is no trace of Christianity to bother one.” — Character in Gore Vidal’s Burr (or 1876).

Interesting that despite a rep for laissez faire ( I mean, like “manana” not libertarianism) both had successful fascist governments. My kinda people.

Aryan Dua eh? Sounds like a good start. What, not “aryan” enough for you White nationalists?

The meatpacker didn’t have to pay the Kosher Tax.

“Now I know why I hate Americans! Every one I meet is either a hick or a Jew.” — Kingsley Amis, exasperated by another attempt by son Martin to convince him the Saul Bellow was worth reading.

“In addition to the Italian fighter with two noses and a swiveling seat so the pilot could change sides in the middle of a mission”

The better to surrender?

So, history doesn’t repeat but rhymes?

Problem is, “decades from now” there won’t be “American boys” or any isolationist (aka nazi or White nationalist or domestic terrorist) sentiments. In fact, you scenario assumes America would still be a major player, if not perhaps #1. And after decades of decline, America’s entry into such a war would not be a game changer (India and China have nukes already) like our entry into WWI and II. In fact, it would be as irrelevant as Italy’s declaration of war on the US in WWII (not at all like the ancient Romans declaring war on someone).

“During WW2, American officers were Chad jocks who could outrun their platoons, while German officers were nerds who studied military history, weapon specs, and did just one hour of athletics per week. Consequently, German units were much more combat effective than American ones”

“Look of fear”

No wonder.

barbecue tongues

Is that another Gallicism?

“Joan Didion, reviewing Mailer’s The Executioner’s Song, wrote that Gary Gilmore had a highly developed kind of con style that captured the national imagination.”

Kingsley Amis said he hated Americans because everyone was either a hick or a Jew. Actually, I’ve observed that from Poe (see his essay on “Diddling”) and Melville to Mad Men, Americans either are con men or more or less openly adore them. (See my book, End of an Era: Mad Men and the Ordeal of Civility, banned by Amazon but available via Unz and Counter-Currents)

Lots of our “great” authors, inventors, artists, religious figures, etc. are essentially con men, whether or not money was the motive.

Supposedly America was settle by Puritans, and Australia by convicts. Has anyone studied the percentage of con men transported here? Or did it develop here through some mixture of races and environments? Something like con men can be found in literature from the Greeks through Boccaccio, but (like serial killers) it seems to have skyrocketed in recent decades, and centrally in America.

Talk about chutzpah. I’ll never forget (sic) the immortal words of Moshe Dayan: “Ask not what your country can do for you…” Is there any wisdom this wonderful people haven’t given us?

Call it what you will, they drafted the Hell out of people in WWII.

Despite being a middle-aged father of two (one serving in the Marines) and a non-citizen, New Thought lecturer Neville Goddard – perhaps due to his always superb physical condition, being a former professional dancer – was drafted in November 1942. He later claimed that he used his “simple method” to obtain, solely by visualization, an honorable discharge – with citizenship as well – by March 1943. Mitch Horowitz has established that the Army discharged Neville so as to “accept employment in an essential wartime industry”: delivering metaphysical lectures in Greenwich Village; see “Neville Goddard: A Cosmic Philosopher,” pp. 83-84. His company commander, who signed the discharge, was Col Bilbo, son of segregationist firebrand Sen. Bilbo.

Indeed. The whining about the heartbreak of “nihilism” on the Right is pretty much entirely projection (a trait they like to ascribe the Jews, in a typical act of projection); when, that is, it isn’t an entirely phony attempt to impose some kind of theocratic dogmatism. (You find this especially among the Dissident Rightist who idolize Putin/Dugin and their Russian Orthodox “Third Rome” (while at the same time sneering at Leftist “utopian thinking”.

I am reminded of a story Alan Watts told of a clergyman at a boys school, overhearing a couple lads making shocking admissions of atheism. “Well, if you don’t believe in God,” the padre huffed, “why don’t you go out and have a high old time of it? That’s what I’d do.”

WSU has many proud alums, including myself and Thomas Ligotti, Stanley E. Zin, Richard M. Cyert and Morris H. DeGroot Professor of Economics and Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University; Frisch Medal winner; Arthur Danto (Philosophy, Columbia) and Wayne Dyer.

Alvin Plantinga, whom many consider the greatest living American philosopher:

“Plantinga began his career as an instructor in the philosophy department at Yale in 1957, and then in 1958, he became a professor of philosophy at Wayne State University during its heyday as a major center for analytic philosophy. ” Wikipedia

The department was decimated in the 70s when the head, Hector Neri Casteneda (another great) was scouted by Indiana University and took half the department with him,

Most of my professors were Harvard PhDs, and I used to wonder how they considered themselves so much better than anyone else, given that they had wound up at Wayne State. The only worthwhile guy there was Larry Powers (Cornell).

Forgot to mention… Edmund Gettier. Back in the 60s he needed to publish something to get tenure so some pals locked him in a motel room until he wrote something. The result was “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge,” considered the most important work on theory of knowledge since Plato. Never published anything else, as he had no need. 60 years later they’re still writing about “The Gettier Problems.”

How ‘s that, Harvard?

I remember that, and being a foreign student in Canada my student number ID’d me as such.

Likely they stopped the practice because of angry students immediately pounding on said professor’s door.

“The presiding cleric, the black “Episcopalian” Michael Curry.”

Ouch. That’s like referring to “an Hispanic priest named Francis.”

Curry is the Presiding Bishop of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, aka the Episcopal Church.

I was working for the Church back then and there was a lot of crestfallen-ness when Today and other media outlets referred to “a priest from Chicago” giving the sermon.

It was hard to stifle my laughter. It’s especially funny because the whole ‘episcopal” thing is that they only have bishops, no archbishops or cardinals or Pope, everyone equal (as in the Declaration of Independence) but they do have a “Presiding Bishop” elected every few years. To think they’ve so totally dropped out of public consciousness!

” The Crown could become the unifying symbol of the Anglosphere by defending the Church of England, British culture, and the accomplishments of Anglo-Saxons everywhere. ”

The Episcopal Church in the US spends all its time sucking up to Hispanics and gays, having confused “virtue signaling to the woke elite” with “a strategy to reverse catastrophic decline.” They have truly swallowed the Republican (ironic!) idea that Hispanics are “natural Episcopalians.” It never occurs to them that Hispanics already have a religion (R.C.) if they want to be religious, and if they don’t, there’s no reason anymore to be an Episcopalian. They’re really not interested in Henry VIII’s divorce, or alien episcopal supremacy. There are now fewer Episcopalians than there are people in Detroit.

If they had been smart, they would have gone in the other direction, and instead of pursuing Wokeness, made the Church an anglophile theme park. Play up the whole Downton Abbey, Sherlock Holmes, King’s Speech, Pride and Prejudice thing.

Get woke, go broke.

“I don’t care how high-maintenance she was, she was smokin’”

“You think the whole world revolves around whatever rattles inside that little kike head of yours?”

A century ago, the Bolshevik Revolution culminated in what Winston Churchill called a “world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality.”

Those “figureheads” are doing a great job to “assuage public emotion.

“The US needs a Pinochet or Franco.”

Be careful what you wish for.

“Homosexuals weren’t very worried under Pinochet, even though the regime was indeed quite macho,” Santiago Schuler suggests. According to Schuler and other sources, Pinochet’s wife was both a practicing Catholic and gay-friendly. The Pinochets even surrounded themselves with a veritable court of Catholic homosexuals. The presidential couple liked to be seen with certain local gay figures, at parties and gala dinners, just as Pinochet liked to be seen with the nuncio Angelo Sodano.

According to Óscar Contardo, Pablo Simonetti, and other experts, the dictatorship didn’t persecute homosexuals as such, in a special or specific way (like Castro’s regime in Cuba, the previous socialist government, led by Allende, wasn’t very gay-friendly either). What is strange, on the other hand, and to some extent startling, is the very existence of a real ‘gay court’ in Pinochet’s entourage.

Well, MY law professor, Sir Thomas More, taught me that “The maxim is “Qui tacet consentiret”: the maxim of the law is “Silence gives consent.” If therefore you wish to construe what my silence betokened, you must construe that I consented, not that I denied.”

So, there’s that.

Because the real crime is being White. All the rest are technicalities, until they can finally pass the White Exclusion Act.

It’s like getting Al Capone for tax evasion.

There was an episode of the 60s TV show “Judd for the Defense” (Judd was a Jew lawyer in effect under the typical crypsis of being an eccentric Texan) called, poetically, “There is no Federal Law Against Murder” in which the titular troublemaker justified Federal charges through the “creative” idea of charging some bigot for ‘denying civil rights,” which you can still find Them using today.

The list of “charges” against Ricky Vaughn is especially “creative.”

Please, stop, you are only giving them ideas!

“He’s got personality.” “He’s very talented.”

“There is power in it, but you have to do the work it naturally leads you to do.”

Profoundly true, Mr. Mohawk. That is the “secret” (ha ha). It only “works” because the first step is to find out what God/Tao/Whatever wants you to do. Visualization, affirmations etc. are only tools to help you allow that path; it’s not a parlor trick where you can “manifest” anything someone suggests as a “test.”

Alan Watts said that when the Hindo says “I am God,” it’s silly to say “Well, then prove it by doing this or that.” If I am God, what’s happening now is what I want to happen.

I’ve written about this and in particular it’s role in Trump’s campaign (Mysticism After Modernism: Crowley, Evola, Neville, Watts, Colin Wilson, and Other Populist Gurus; Manticore, 2021).

The “Elevate” phone app has a “brain training” game devoted to recognizing such spoonerisms.

My theory is that just as self-educated people often mispronounce words because they’ve never heard them out loud (I had a freshman student from the Detroit ghetto who was quite bright but when asking an intelligent question one time referred to the philosopher “Sew-crates.”); today, no one reads so they only acquire knowledge of the vaguely pronounced homonyms, which they then reproduce in writing. That’s my theory, for all indents and purposes.

IF they believed their own bullshit, they could unite the Left and Right in condemning Hoover and his methods, and the FBI itself.

BUT they don’t. They like his methods, as long as THEY get to use them.

It’s like they were all about free speech, until they got their hands on the censor button. They were “antiwar” until Obama was elected. Etc.

Indeed. That’s why not one single country (except Liberia) has adopted our “exceptional” mode of government. We couldn’t even impose it on Japan, or Germany, or Iraq.

Science proceeds by testing and discarding hypotheses. The Brits saw the flaws in the American and French experiments and fixed them with their own Reform in the 1820s.

American conservatives treat the Constitution like sacred scripture (muh Constitution!), not to be criticized but “interpreted” by nine rabbis in black robes.

Most likely mob related (massage parlors are more money laundering than brothels), some kind of Salamanca vs Saul Goodman backstory.

“By the way, the “official” response of Putin was “we understand each other” which makes absolutely no logical sense. So what we have is a basically brain dead pseudo “President” who is programmed by his handlers to tell the US public that Putin has no soul and that Biden told him that face to face. What actual purpose such a statement would pursue is neither asked nor answered.”

“In June 1958, de Gaulle made a trip to Algeria, where he uttered those unhappy words: “I understand you” (speech from Algiers, June 4, 1958) and “Vive l’Algérie française” (speech from Mostaganem, June 6, 1958). He falsely gave the impression of committing to French Algeria and assimilation. The French of Algeria, and many senior officers, never forgave him for fostering the misunderstanding in this way. In fact, de Gaulle understood that France no longer had the energy necessary for an imperial destiny. He anticipated the danger of an invasion of the metropolis by large African populations, with a conquering Islamic religion. He also knew that the world had changed and that France and Europe would have to establish new relationships with the peoples of the former colonies, based on interdependence and respect for differences.”

Exactly. The olde tyme “diner” from the old movies is one thing, but most “diners” with 40 page menus are just serving crap. A basic rule is that a restaurant can only serve a certain number of items without sacrificing quality. I saw this all the time in NYC.

If there are any “Traditionalists” out there, they might enjoy discoursing on what Guenon says about the “sinister” nature of metallurgy in for example The Reign of Quantity. Most “traditional” societies distrust any kind of technology and if developed at all surround it with all kinds of taboos, rituals, secrecy, etc.

Jews like to brag about their “contributions” but Marxism, Freudism, and nukes would seem doubtful contributions. If we have a nuclear Armageddon, a “religious” ban on nukes would seem (to someone) to have been more of a contribution to civilization.

I’ve observed in many places that the boys of MST3k were typical white, educated, Midwestern kids, as shown by their reactions to films. Always funny, but always anti-White; e.g., their riffing of the Seattle World’s Fair short; 13 minutes of “Why is everyone White” and the usual Hitler/Riefenstahl gags.

I was informed (here on UNZ, the source of all truth!) that in recent podcasts it transpires that Mike Nelson, head writer and later host, is a serious Christian of a somewhat evangelical variety.

Later, there was some controversy (“I was shocked and disappointed to hear” etc.) about his comment on, I think, drag queen story hours or some such, but no actual cancellation has occurred. But that’s just another example of someone not keeping up with the Leftist line and being lest behind.

Take It’s Always Sunny: no matter how “dark” or “transgressive,” the whole series has been anti-gun, anti-Republican, anti-rich whites, anti-racist, and pro-gay and tranny. Oh, and anti-Hitler. How transgressive! No matter how loathesome the characters, even they have standards!

Anyway, my point is that, just as leftists are “progressive” meaning they want to change things, they also actually do things. Conservatives won’t lift a finger. That’s why entertainment and culture in general are Leftist, and even increasingly the corporate world. It’s not a plot; it’s just that the only people who DO anything are Leftists, while conservatives just belly ache and consume whatever’s offered. (Sorta like blacks: ingrates, never satisfied with what’s on offer, but never willing to lift a finger themselves).

So, no; there will never be a “conservative” version of MST3k, no more than a conservative Twitter or credit card processor.

Exactly. This proves she is an Asian Supremacist or at least an anti-black racist. She’s probably micro-aggressing all the time. She got what’s coming to her!

Roth, Zuckerman… actually a pretty good explanation of the Jew/everyone else dichotomy.

The Jew in his arrogance considers the “nice guy” approach to be a sucker’s game. (See Maurice Samuels, “You Gentiles”). It’s much more fun to start off with a kick to the nuts.

Notice how the “heroes” of the OT are all con men.

Of course, this is actually why Jews never actually succeed at anything: they have never created a stable, creative society, and even as parasites they inevitably go too far and get expelled (or worse).

“The history, culture, and manners of Russia and China do not exist for them. In dealing with others, even allies, they know only contempt and arrogance. ”

Wait’ll they notice the beavers at the Astor Place stop, “in honor of” the source of the Astor fortune.

IF Ted Cassidy wrote that book, I’m not going to argue with him.

And green eggs, of course. Hence the green rope, alluding to the cancelled racist Dr. Jeu Seuss.

Wait, I thought Protestants were the Cathedral (Moldbug) and that the rot set in with Luther (E Michael Jones). No wonder the Right never gets anywhere… get your story straight!

Well, the whole “passion” thing is entirely racist and anti-Semitic anyway, so that needs to be canceled too.

Right, I remember that . Bad year for Episcopalians, for some reason. As someone said above, who knew they even still existed? Last time I checked there were twice as many people living in Astoria NY as in the entire EC.

Alan Watts, after he went from Episcopal priest to New Age guru, would read a list of church affiliations, from Catholics at 30% of Americans through all the various Protestant denoms and Jews, and then ask, “Which of these does NOT think they are a minority?” The answer of course being Episcopalians, who even back then were like 2% of the pop, but still thought of themselves as the ruling class.

Interesting that the Jews, who have largely displaced the Episcopalians, still think of themselves (at least publicly) as an oppressed minority.

Great minds, etc. Shaw, Schopenhauer, Sheldrake, Jung… it’s almost as if you’ve been reading my essays at Counter-Currents (and collected in Mysticism After Modernism (Manticore, 2021). Humbling yet appropriate, as I have been a great fan of your books and essays.

May I return the favor with a few items:

Shaw’s Preface to Methuselah points out that Darwinism won over the public not because of evidence (there was none, and the public couldn’t evaluate it anyway) but because it promised to liberate them from the meddlesome Calvinist God. It was too late, when they realized it also eliminated all meaning and purpose to life.

Huston Smith, in Forgotten Truth, uses an early article by Daniel Dennett (more recently known as one of those meddlesome “New Atheists”) to explain that natural selection only SEEMS reasonable if you assume atheism, which you must do only if you want to construct an entirely materialistic science; otherwise the more plausible explanation is what’s now called Intelligent Design. No one would think that the obvious explanation of how a hurricane tearing through a junkyard could assemble a working 747 is “by chance” unless the really obvious explanation — intelligent design — was ruled out to begin with.

As another example of what might be called “strange not so new respect,” a reader of Watts’ Beyond Theology (Pantheon, 1965) finds that the hip, Zen-meditated, LSD-expanded young intelligentsia of 1965 were applying their psychedelic insights against dreary old Bible-thumping Dad by advocating . . . intelligent design:

“A universe which grows human beings is as much a human, or humaning, universe as a tree which grows apples is an apple tree. . . . There is still much to be said for the old theistic argument that the materialist-mechanistic atheist is declaring his own intelligence to be no more than a special form of unintelligence. . . .

“The real theological problem for today is that it is, first of all, utterly implausible to think of this Ground as having the monarchical and paternal character of the Biblical Lord God. But, secondly, there is the much more serious difficulty of freeing oneself from the insidious plausibility of the mythology of nineteenth-century scientism, from the notion that the universe is gyrating stupidity in which the mind of man is nothing but a chemical fantasy doomed to frustration. It is insufficiently recognized that this is a vision of the world inspired by the revolt against the Lord God of those who had formerly held the role of his slaves. This reductionist, nothing-but-ist view of the universe with its muscular claims to realism and facing-factuality is at root a proletarian and servile resentment against quality, genius, imagination, poetry, fantasy, inventiveness and gaiety. Within twenty or thirty years it will seem as superstitious as flat-earthism.”

Well, he seems to have been a little off on that prediction; the argument is still valid, though. Archeo-futurism: who’s more “old fashioned” than a “free-thinking” atheist/materialist?

“In a recent essay, Alexander Dugin puts the blame on “nominalism”, the philosophy that challenged Platonic Idealism (also called “essentialism” or “realism”) by denying the existence of universals in the fourteenth century.”

We don’t need some mystical Russian beardo weirdo to tell us that. Richard Weaver wrote a whole book about it, in the 1940s, called Ideas Have Consequences, which most right wingers cite but likely few have read.

In the most recent edition, Roger Kimball says in his intro: “If we need to refute William of Ockham to solve our problems, we are doomed.”

Weaver, from his comfortable office at the Un. of Chicago, pleaded for the govt. to stop rural electrification, as it would cause the souls of poor white folk to wither up and die.

He also condemned shoes. No, really, no kidding, he actually went there, before any liberal reviewer could mock him. Get a kindle version and search “shoes”.

Sound like he and Dugin would get along famously, drinking tea at the dacha while the happy, shoeless peasants sang in the dark.

“Did Foucault happen to dream up his ideas first and only then realize that his logic proved that it should be legal for him to have sex with boys? Or did he want to have sex with boys first and then dreamt up his vast system of justification?”

You give him too much credit. The question is an idle one unless his arguments had some merit; then the whole “how can such a genius be so evil” question becomes an issue for his devotees (e.g., Heidegger the enthusiastic Nazi).

Foucault, however, was a mere sophist, spinning skeins of bullshit that Europeans (and American’s with Euro-envy) seem to fall for.

“Foucault was an evil man”

How can anyone not love such a punim?

“Manly”?

Yeah, the way one might describe an elderly lesbian as “manly”

Or as Elaine said of George’s she-Jerry girlfriend, “She’s a very handsome woman.”

I think he’s going for the very Modernist Gertrude Stein look here.

Said built up his white-man-cannot-analyse-brown-man theories to stiffen resistance to white pederasts?

The amount of double-endentre in that one sentence could put the space-time continuum at risk.

Perhaps Said was, like Tobias Fünke, an analrapist in his spare time?

“Said’s basic message to European sex tourists in the Arab world was “Don’t you come around here no more.””

As the leech doctor says to Blackadder, who seeks a cure for his supposed pederasty, “Good, more rampant totty for us real men!”

Doctor Leech : It isn’t every day a man wakes up to discover he’s a screaming bender with no more right to live on God’s clean Earth than a weasel. Ashamed of yourself?

Blackadder : Not really, no.

Doctor Leech : Bloody Hell. I would be. Still, why should I complain. Just leaves more rampant totty for us real men, eh?

Blackadder : Look, am I paying for this abuse or is it extra?

Doctor Leech : No, no, it’s all part of the service.

Blackadder II, “Bells”

“Talking about the early marrying age of people who rarely finished high school, didn’t have access to birth control, and were dead by fifty is just a distraction. Today, now, in the modern world, the people who want to lower the age of consent are the predators that want to fuck other peoples’ kids.”

A good point. BUT: isn’t the UNZ/Dissident Right/HBD crowd always arguing “X is not a mere convention, but reflects 1000s of years of evolution, which cannot be avoided by the whims of the Left”?

The point being, the “modern world” of college for all, birth control and longer lifespans is perhaps incompatible with the natural, evolved pattern of early procreation? Aren’t UNZers always complaining about family formation, women getting pregnant in their 40s, etc.? Isn’t the real issue family formation, not age alone — IOW, we should get back to earlier ages of marriage for demographic reasons?

“It is easy for men to find people to have casual sex with… if they ask other men.”

The dirty little secret. Of course, the official story is, it’s disgusting and unnatural, so homos must be sick and weird. Says the girl who didn’t get an invite to the party.

Sorta like when Mac got upset when he found out the high school coach molested a bunch of kids… but not him.

I only just last year discovered that those crazy Evangelicals who disdain “pagan” holidays like Easter and Christmas actually celebrate their own versions of six or seven Jewish holidays as being ordained by YHVH and celebrated by Christ himself (hence not voided, like the Mosaic Law).

Right now, they are indeed gearing up for Passover (which they interpret as “passing over into righteousness” or something) and Pentecost will be up next. Then the Feast of Tabernacles (aka Succoth) and then my favorite, The Feast of Trumpets (aka Yom Kippur), when seven trumpets are blown (preferably shofars) and, if Jesus is coming back this year, he will appear after the Last Trump (you can see why they were excited by Trump’s election).

“The Anglo Saxon is a strange and stupid race.” — Boston Mayor Michael Curley

“The simpler explanation for which there is more than ample evidence is that homos are psychologically disturbed and sublimate their self hatred into efforts to tear down the bourgeoise, middle American, middle class society into which they don’t fit. Corrupting middle American kids, introducing family-rending strife, and making it impossible to raise morally straight wholesome kids in America is just a natural desire for these people.”

Up to a point, My Lord, as an Evelyn Waugh character would say.

I thought you conservatives read Mencken? “For every problem there is a simple solution, and it is wrong.”

That “simpler explanation” does not account for the “more than ample evidence” of homos like J. Edgar Hoover, Whittaker Chambers, Roy Cohn (maybe), Cardinal Spellman, Peter Theil, Noel Coward, etc., who oppose “efforts to tear down the bourgeoise, middle American, middle class society into which they don’t fit.”. They are perfectly capable of feeling loyalty to their families and societies, apart from appreciating that in more primitive parts of the world they would be hunted down like albinos. The entire historical preservation movement, for example, was created by and is still largely made up of homos and fag hags, along with gentrification.

The agenda you mention I attribute to the Left, which after Stonewall created a phony “gay” identity so as to co-opt homos into their Coalition of the Fringes. Admittedly most seem to have signed on (why not, it’s the winning side) but the reasons are political, not psychological.

Birth of the alt-Right: Forget Evola, Heidegger, Moldbug etc. In the 80s, we were promised David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. What we got was Milo and Rachel Levine. We want our money back.

That’s what we were promised. What we got was Rachel Levine. We’re still pissed.

The result of the Dissident Right not fielding the talent to compose, perform, and flood the airwaves with a folk rock song along the lines of “Four Dead in Washington.”

Related to one of the Left’s main weapons, the NAXALT. If some White guy is dumb, then whites are not smarter than blacks. Conversely, If there’s a black astronaut, then every black must be an astronaut, and if not, racism.

If every “male” is not exactly the same, then “there are no males” and everyone belongs to one of the 50,000 or so “genders.”

Problem glasses and all, Elvis C. asks the question that stops the “alt right” in its snarky tracks.

Technically (i.e. literally) so does abortion. I mean, just read it. But I suppose you need to take into account the “penumbras and emanations” like with muh Constitution.

Reminds me of a lawyer joke: if there’s one lawyer in town, he’ll starve. If there are two, they’ll join the country club. (See, one drums up plaintiffs who create demand for defense lawyers and vice versa…)

Which reminds me of Mencken, who said that if some lawyer brags about how they “fight for your rights,” remind him that whenever someone is trying to take away your rights, there’s another lawyer representing that guy.

At least they really have blacks, and that might lead to some rethinking.

Here is Stars Hollow, I’ve seen exactly two blacks in two years. Yet every house has a BLM sign, every store “downtown” has a BLM mural. The first case is clearly virtue signaling. In the second, I think it’s like the “soul brother” signs stores in the ghetto would have during the 60s riots; also good marketing to the first group.

Some of the signs look like they were children’s school projects.

There’s also good old Veblen style oneupmanship. There’s a lesbian pizza shop downtown with a whole window filled with an “[X group] lives matter” list, from Black to Chicano Trans to Black Trans etc. Guess what group is missing? Near as I can tell, not one member of those groups lives in town or has ever visited the shop.

“no one expects Italians to be like Germans, for instance”

Actually, we do. I mean, your modal CivNat, which means most Americans over the last 200 or so years. One group after another has the uniqueness ironed or pounded out, and the they become “regular Americans.” I think it was Teddy Roosevelt who said real Americans aren’t “hyphenated”.

Over time the tiny “ethnic enclaves” get erased as kids get educated, find jobs elsewhere, live in the suburbs; only the old folks live in Poletown (in Detroit, 50 years ago) then urban renewal flattens the place. The festivals where the children don “authentic” costumes and do “authentic” Old World dances disappear.

Of course, it IS true of races; Chinatown, black and mestizo ghettos, etc. That’s where the problem occurs: liberals extend the idea that various White ethnic groups can submerge their differences (other than cuisine) to the idea that races can as well. A bridge too far.

Saw Sparks at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1977 as opening act for Patti Smith. Hometown crowd had no patience waiting for her so they were mercilessly heckled.
