When you have 7-8 children per woman, you can have 8% growth and you will remain poor. Ask your women – if they are ok with it, then fine.

You might want to ask the children too, they might have a different response.

How come pretty much all the evidence for this Generation Z stuff comes from organizations and institutions I’ve never heard of who don’t make their data available and never reputable pollsters like Pew (can’t speak to the Swedish link)? Seems like fake news. We’ll know if the Hispanic Heritage Fund was right in the 2018 midterms as Gen Z from their supposed poll will actually be voting. I am very skeptical of all this.

NK was always ready to talk about anything is my understanding. But the US sets giving up nukes as the precondition. It’s like I’m interesting in buying your house, but I won’t begin negotiating with you about it until you give me your house.

Yeah, about a third through it. I don’t think reading gets you much over just looking at the graphs, which are important and interesting.

Do the numbers for Hungary make sense? That non-EU born have TFR of less than half of natives, but still make up a birth share of about 2%? Nothing about that adds up.

Looks like this may have been motivated by one of those particularly suspicious “hate incidents” we’re so familiar with in this country, and our government is working hard to spread our unique pathologies abroad.

10. (U) On June 6 the Dutch Ambassador to Estonia, Hans Glaubitz, informed the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad that he was curtailing his tour, complaining of persistent and racist homophobic abuse. Glaubitz said that though he and his partner, an African-Cuban man, were well received by GOE officials, they were regularly insulted when out in public. Glaubitz said on behalf of his partner, “It is not very nice to be regularly abused by drunken skinheads as a ‘******’ and to be continuously gawped at as if you have just stepped out of a UFO.” Glaubitz’s statement has not only featured prominently in Estonian papers, but has also been picked up by international news organizations, thereby provoking considerable public debate within Estonia on the topic of racism and homophobia.

11. (U) In the wake of Glaubitz’s announcement, several media (Estonian and international) have contacted the Embassy for comment (in part because Glaubitz made reference to an inter-Embassy security-related email citing incidents of harassment against and/or witnessed by U.S. Embassy employees). The Embassy spokesman used these requests as an opportunity to say that although reported racial incidents in Estonia are relatively few in number, it is important for there to be constructive and open dialog on the issue before it becomes a larger problem.

12. (U) The international media coverage has clearly embarrassed the GOE and the general public, creating a backlash among some Estonian public figures who have started questioning Glaubitz’s claim. The MFA has consistently denied it received information on Glaubitz’s problems (either from the Glaubitz or the Dutch Embassy) prior to the announcement. Moreover, Foreign Minister Urmas Paet claimed that Dutch Foreign Minister Bernard Bot expressed regret over the whole affair and said Glaubitz’s action was “not a wise thing to do.” Meanwhile, the Estonian Parliament on June 15 passed an amendment to the Penal Code that will penalize incitement of “hatred, violence or discrimination” based on sexual orientation. (The existing law provides protection on the basis of nationality, race, color, sex, language, origin, religion, political opinion, financial and social status.)

One interesting thing that nobody is talking about is that it appears that the Kurds are pushing feminism and secularism on the Arabs, and Turkey is using that as part of justification for their war.

This may be the first humanitarian intervention ever undertaken in order to free a people from feminism.

The local civil government is modeled on principles of the Kurdish separatist leader, Abdullah Ocalan, who is imprisoned in Turkey: enforced equality for women in civil and military life, moderate socialism, and radical environmentalism.

The Turks’ view is that the Kurds have imposed a system of governance in Manbij at odds with the area’s conservative, traditional society. The American military, however, says that the Kurds and their allies have managed to bring stability. “There are a lot of people that do equate them with the P.K.K., but I have not seen any indication of that in my dealings with them throughout our relationship,” General Jarrard said.

You know, I may have been the only person on earth who noticed this, but a a few years ago the NBA or some network put out this list of the highest scoring Latino players in history. Spaniard Pao Gasol was on it, and some stupid internet outrage developed. I was watching an NBA game, and I saw Tirico bring this up and say that in has opinion Gasol shouldn’t be on that list.

I checked the internet real quick and couldn’t find any evidence of that comment. But I remember being struck at the time that he had to be a real identity politics weasel to take that position. Knowing that he goes around claiming to be black without knowing makes the whole episode seem even weirder.

I’ll end this with a paragraph from Levitsky and Ziblatt that I’ve not been able to get out of my head, a paragraph that I almost wish I hadn’t read:

Lol! Nice to see how firm and steadfast our elites are in facing the big questions.

For the first time ever I’m sympathetic to IQ deniers. Anything that kills more stupid (or intelligent, for that matter) murderers is good.

The pattern is that Soviet leaders did not build a country that their own children wanted to live in.

I thought the pattern was that the descendants of (((some))) leaders are in favor of their own people while those of others are self-haters and freaks.

OT, but I found one immigrant that ICE should probably leave alone

In Mein Kampf, Hitler actually briefly discusses the American Civil War. He does not come off as being particularly emotionally invested, but he does come down firmly on Lincoln’s side.

Where can I find this? I was interested so I got out my Kindle version of Main Kampf and searched for “Lincoln”, “confederacy”, and “United States” and found nothing on the civil war.

Look at the pinned tweet. She’s a piece of work. This person times a million and to varying degrees is the world that liberals have created.

Can someone possibly explain to me Catlan nationalism? The main dividing line in Europe during our era is between pro-immigration forces and anti-immigration forces. Where do the Catalns stand on this relative to the Spanish central government? If they’re indifferent, why should anyone care? In fact, why are they even bothering?

Here’s one important question that the superior performance of Africans and West Indians raises: Is something radically wrong with African-American culture? Why aren’t black Americans doing better than blacks from much poorer countries?

Shockley pointed out decades ago that African American fertility was frighteningly dysgenic. Plus who knows what slavery did to the gene pool. The messed up culture is probably the result of all that, not much of a cause in and of itself.

Good article, don’t understand this part though:

And 23andMe analyzes your DNA for its implications not just for your past, but for your future. (It notoriously sells this data to pharmaceutical companies.)

So that they might cure our diseases? God forbid!

When I was in Washington D.C. in 2013 there was some crazed Islamist ranting in front of the White House.

I visited the White House this year and the same guy was there with the same cheap looking unreadable sign.

The multicultural collection of faces with hurt feelings that compose the girl’s afro is a nice touch.

Why do some of them speak English with an American accent and others do so with a British accent? I understand the movie is in English and we all just have to accept that, but I say find one accent and stick with it to avoid some of the cognitive dissonance.

This story would be a lot more interesting if we got some detail about what the student looked like. Race? Body type? No pronouns, so we can’t even be sure of gender.

Men—mostly white, but sometimes Asian—have so dominated technology that it’s difficult even to ponder turning the tables. If you rolled back the clock and computing were as black as hip-hop, if it had been built from the ground up by African American culture, what would it feel like to live in that alternate future—in today’s alternate present?

The SJWs continue to find new ways of being stupid. Imagine if the tech sector which was built by a subculture of young men that shoot each other in astronomically high numbers, regularly impregnate women and don’t stick around, and who fail spectacularly in all academic pursuits?

That indeed would be a very interesting industry.

Those aren’t like any scores I’ve seen before. Where is the source?

Mongols are fascinating because they’re Mongoloids who still have babies (TFR: 2.64). There seems to be a universal tendency for East Asians to be well below replacement. They also have a high murder rate for their race, which may or may not be related. Is it because they’re genetically distinct from Koreans, Japanese, and the Chinese or is it something cultural?

To me they’re one of the most interesting anomalies from the perspective of HBD.

I didn’t think too much about the taboo on kingslaying and all that, but the Sand Snakes was absurd because it’s something that never happened in human history: a coup by a coalition of women. There are queens who have come to power through scheming with others, but there’s never been a female cabal like that in history. And they fight too! Despite being 110 pound girls. Now Jon Snow is drafting girls of all ages to fight the White Walkers. The feminist propaganda has killed much of the enjoyment for me.

He is not at all unusual, there is literally no active biological scientist who endorses a view of average potential intelligence differing between groups such as nations because it is genetically limited, .

You have no idea what you’re talking about, like all gene deniers. A poll of experts on IQ found that a plurality believed that the black-white IQ gap in the United States was genetic in origin.

The role of genetics in the black-white IQ gap has been particularly controversial. The question regarding this in the survey asked “Which of the following best characterizes your opinion of the heritability of black-white differences in IQ?” Amongst the 661 returned questionnaires, 14% declined to answer the question, 24% voted that there was insufficient evidence to give an answer, 1% voted that the gap was “due entirely to genetic variation”, 15% voted that it was “due entirely to environmental variation” and 45% voted that it was a “product of genetic and environmental variation”. According to Snyderman and Rothman, this contrasts greatly with the coverage of these views as represented in the media, where the reader is led to draw the conclusion that “only a few maverick ‘experts’ support the view that genetic variation plays a significant role in individual or group difference, while the vast majority of experts believe that such differences are purely the result of environmental factors.”[7]

In their analysis of the survey results, Snyderman and Rothman state that the experts who described themselves as agreeing with the “controversial” partial-genetic views of Arthur Jensen did so only on the understanding that their identity would remain unknown in the published report. This was due, claim the authors, to fears of suffering the same kind of castigation experienced by Jensen for publicly expressing views on the correlation between race and intelligence which are privately held in the wider academic community.[8]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_IQ_Controversy,_the_Media_and_Public_Policy_(book)

There have been several decades of IQ research across almost all countries in the world, and they always show Asians on top, then whites, then others, then Africans, regardless of cultural background or language spoken. If that’s not good enough for you, you’re just burying your head in the sand.

Israel wasn’t tested, but Mexico, South Korea, and Japan were, and, not surprisingly, they weren’t all that into Huddled Massesism.

Looks to me that Japan and South Korea are two of only a few that don’t say they want a reduction in immigration. They’re also pretty average on the “racist” question.

The anecdote about Kevin James and Tim Allen is funny. It seems like their brand of comedy is tailored to those alienated by mainstream Hollywood culture. Kevin Can Wait is a throwback to the innocent kind of family sitcom that has become less common over the last few decades. Him and his wife are stereotypical members of their respective sexes, with the husband wanting to just eat and play sports and the wife nagging him about it. They go to church, have kids, and give the vibe of normal people.

Their art seems to be a reflection of their politics, as both Allen and James have taken conservative positions in Hollywood.

Interesting looking at the Wikipedia page of the official who is responsible for this memo. I thought she’d be an Obama holdover, but seems like a movement conservative from her Wikipedia page:

Candice Jackson is Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategic Operations and Outreach in the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education, and the Office’s Acting Assistant Secretary, a position she was appointed to on April 12, 2017.[1][2] Jackson is an attorney who worked for the conservative organization Judicial Watch, and in private practice in California.[3] Jackson is a graduate of Stanford University, where she wrote for the conservative Stanford Review as a critic of affirmative action and feminism.[3]

She authored the 2005 book Their Lives: Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine, concerning the biographies of Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick, all of whom reported sexual harassment or abuse by former president Bill Clinton.[4] Jackson coordinated the appearance of several of these women in a press conference before the October 9, 2016, presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.[5] She also produced a 2015 video profiling Kathy Shelton, a survivor of a child sexual assault whose assailant was represented in court by Hillary Clinton in the 1970s.[6] She has labeled the women who have accused Trump of sexual assault of being “fake victims”.[3]

She served as an editorial assistant on the collected essays of libertarian economist Murray Rothbard during a fellowship at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and wrote two academic papers appraising his work.[3][7]

So in college she wrote articles against feminism, but we get this from the Daily Caller story

Jackson’s memo also explains that the Office for Civil Rights may choose to investigate teachers and administrators at public schools if they don’t act quickly whenever transgender students allege sex discrimination over “stereotyped notions of masculinity or femininity.”

No one tell Paul Gottfried about this “movement conservative” pushing the transgender agenda, he’ll lose his mind.

I think most economists agree that housing space is more determined by regulation than population size. Look at a population density map of the world, there is a lot of space out there, even in Japan. Immigration is awful because of crime and institutional decay,.

It just seems to me that Westerners presuming to lecture Africans on reproduction is like the dodo bird giving the cockroach advice on how to survive. Eventually, unless and until something extreme happens we’ll be overwhelmed by whatever ethno-cultural groups place the most emphasis on fertility.

Lol, what does Soros buying DA’s have to do with BLM? Was Aramis Ayala running “fry em like bacon” ads?

BLM put “criminal justice reform” on the agenda, which led Soros to buy DAs. The lesson is that even if they turned off some of the public, if the attention got one rich evil guy to prioritize their issues then they can affect policy.

If blacks could be shamed by their leaders into not voting, they would’ve stopped voting a long time ago.

Simpler explanation is that it’s a movement of unstable, criminal elements, who were too mentally ill to conceal their hateful aims and were unable to engage in the hard work of movement building.

But Soros apparently bought some DA’s offices, so they have had some political impact.

The Pukhtun is never at peace, except when he is at war.

One’s own mother and sister are disgusting.

When the floodwaters reach your chin, put your son beneath your feet.

What are the sources for these? These proverbs don’t appear to be especially widespread. When I Google them the only things that comes up are Steve’s articles.

Notice how the “racist” biology professor who started all this hasn’t inspired 1/10th of the contempt of this sniveling coward.

Anyone who grew up around blacks recognizes this as the bullying that it is. It’s less ideological and looks more like fun at the expense of an individual whose weakness inspires hatred and brings out the most sadistic impulses in his simple-minded tormentors. “And it better have gumbo!” It’s fun to say because he’ll actually give in..

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of people. Those students have an IQ of 90, they have no responsibility for their actions. The professors and administrators though deserve everything they get.

How about “Hitler’s Table Talk” for evidence.

I think it’s been pretty convincingly shown that Hitler’s Table Talk can’t be relied upon. See Mikail Nillson’s 2016 article on it. Nonetheless, it’s not too hard to find anti-Slav ravings in Mein Kampf. One example,

“For the Russian State was not organized by the constructive political talent of the Slav element in Russia, but was much more a marvellous exemplification of the capacity for State-building possessed by the Germanic element in a race of inferior worth.”

He doesn’t exactly say “I want to kill them all,” but once Hitler declares you racially inferior I wouldn’t give him the benefit of the doubt with regards to ultimate intentions.

Is that three attacks I see in Belarus? How did that happen?

There are no graphs at the link. Go here if you’ve got access to a university library to see the summary results:

Interesting that when it comes to IQ, 80% of all say genes are very important or somewhat important (Table 2). Only 7% say “Not at all important.” Interesting when you consider education policy is based on the premise that it’s basically not important at all.

I was skimming through it and when I got to this I thought that they were talking about Kevin MacDonald and I got really interested:

To anyone inclined to dismiss these authors without serious consideration: go buy their books. Perhaps you will discover that you can refute each and every argument in Ali, Mac Donald, Jussim, and Sowell.

But Heather is still good.

Look at differential birthrates by SES class and country. I don’t think it’ll be worse than where we’re going now.

This makes liberalism even stupider. Most Americans don’t know the difference between different variety of Asians and they all look alike, yet somehow “racism” allows some to succeed while others fail? Why do they think this helps them?

To conclude our statement, we invite you to respond to this email by Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 4:07pm (since we have more energy to expend on the frivolity of this institution and not Black lives).

What does this mean? I mean, much of the letter is incomprehensible, but this is not even postmodern gibberish. I just have no clue what this is saying. They want a response by Tuesday because they ” have more energy to expend on the frivolity of this institution and not Black lives”?

I think the references to “black bodies” give us insight to how liberals see blacks. They’re passive objects who have things done to them by white people. Depending on white people’s level of racism, they either succeed or fail, get mass incarcerated or shot up by the police. The whims, insecurities, and power seeking of white people are all that matter, since the idea that blacks are responsible for their own failures is unthinkable.

“Soul” implies agency. Referring to someone as a “body” indicates the opposite.

One thing to keep in mind here is that people like Jeff Guo are in the minority when it comes to Chinese and East Asians in general. I would argue that a randomly selected East Asian or East Asian American is much more likely to embrace the Tiger Mother ethos, which I’ve argued before is consequence of East Asia’s Confucian tradition, than the brand of SJW activism that Jeff Guo seems to embody, which I would argue is the result of the leftist racial activism of black, white, and Hispanic Americans in this country in recent decades.

That’s true of any race. A random black person is probably more likely to endorse corporal punishment and traditional gender roles than SJW activism, which only appeals to a minority of weirdos. Regardless of personal values, Asians are overwhelmingly Democratic voters and liberal on just about every issue you’d care to poll them on.

Washington Post reporter Jeff Guo wrote an epic-length Tweet storm with every Angry Asian cliche imaginable: the Model Minority Myth is racist, Asians are discriminated against in the U.S., they weren’t even allowed in for awhile, the food tastes awful, and the portions are so small.

That is an amazing thread. He says that Asians don’t actually earn more than whites when you control for education. So we’re controlling for education now when comparing racial achievement? When talking about blacks and Hispanics, relatively low education is blamed on racism. And then he says that the reason that Asians are so obsessed with education is that they need it to overcome racism. So it’s racism, racism, racism, no matter what the outcome.

There are lunatic on the internet who believe in a Jewish conspiracy behind everything and twist every fact to fit that narrative. This mindset is no less demented, but people like this actually have a platform.

Certainly not “way” too far. What we have now is at least Obama’s foreign policy.

We can call it Obama’s foreign policy when he’s overthrown a dictator. All he gave us was one airstrike that, again, had no military effect on the conflict.

Agree that Haley is awful, but Tillerson is much better and restrained. We still have an administration that is less hardline on Assad than just about anyone in Washington. If a few meaningless bombs get them to shut up about Russia collusion and freed him up to make a deal with Putin, this will have turned out to have been a brilliant move.

The alt right is acting like he just unilaterally gave amnesty to all illegal immigrants. This is not the end of the world. If it leads to real regime change, I’ll be first to agree with the harshest criticisms of Trump in this article.

This is a good article, let me just make two points.

First of all, I think that anyone should’ve realized that Trump was a childish egomaniac obsessed with one-upping people a long time ago. That’s no surprise. Generally, the alt right supported him because of the possibility that that ego could be harnessed to do some good things.

Second, it goes way too far to say that we got Hillary’s foreign policy, given that the she-beast recently said that she wanted regime change. It is very interesting that the US did not even cater the runway ramp at the Syrian airbase, much to the chagrin of John McCain, and the next day the Syrian regime was hitting rebels from the exact same airbase.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mccain-says-administration-partially-to-blame-for-chemical-attack-in-syria/

For that resin, I think that it’s not too crazy to believe that Lawrence O’Donnell is right when he, to great mockery, said that perhaps Trump collaborated with Putin to change the subject from the Russian narrative.

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/04/07/msnbcs-odonnell-maybe-putin-masterminded-chemical-attack-so-trump-could-look-good-by-striking-syria/

The attack on Syria did literally nothing to change the balance of power on the battlefield, yet he killed the collusion with Russia story and got universal praise from the establishment for whatever his next move is.

I don’t claim to know what’s going on, or what Trump’s true motivations are. I think he’s an egomaniacal buffoon, but with instincts that are sound compared to the rest of the establishment. And I think that it’s too early to denounce him as a traitor and a fool, given the limited nature of the strike. Let’s wait and see.

Let’s please not adopt the moronic British practice of calling Indians and Arabs “Asians.” Genetically and culturally, we shouldn’t be placing them in the same category as Koreans and Chinese.

There’s some selection pressure here. People who don’t like the church’s attitude towards sobriety, chastity, and clean living often leave, and are replaced by converts who see something they like in the faith. I wish an atheist jihadi like Sam Harris would read this.

This month’s Atlantic has a story that represents what’s best about this society and the one you cite, which reflects what is worst. This piece about the grizzled Russian father and his son mitigating global warming through bringing back the wooly mammoth is the coolest thing I’ve read in a while. Read between the lines, it seems that the father may be a Trump and Putin supporter.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/04/pleistocene-park/517779/

This story about the future of the biosphere did not make the cover though. That goes to indulging feminist nonsense.

This is just making a graph with two variables. You can make one with number of Harley Davidsons per capita and get a similar number. At the very least add a control for race.

For all their obsessions with gaps, the marriage gap isn’t talked about much. Probably because leftists don’t like reminding people that they’re the party of loneliness and evolutionary death. They would much rather pit the races and the sexes against one another.

Let’s expand this into a more universal theory of white female liberalism. We can probably explain their love of racial integration the same way. I mean, if there are a lot of blacks and Hispanics around, due to the nature of their tastes, again you don’t have to bother putting the donuts down.

Of course, there’s an interpretation that doesn’t involve race. Maybe he’s worried about Christians being replaced with Muslims, and would be happy if they were all black Christians invading the Netherlands? Well, maybe not, plenty of evidence suggests that Rep. Steve King engages in plenty of thought crime of the most evil variety.

After David Duke’s gone, you wonder who the media will use to use as their measuring stick for evil.

Worst to live in as a a man or a woman? I think it makes a big difference.

Even Eric Posner thinks this is too much, has a realization that this leads to white nationalism

https://twitter.com/EricAPosner/status/838389407866585088

I doubt the whole SJW arms race theory. I don’t think spending Saturdays at the farmer’s market is going to make a difference where you get hired, and I don’t think someone was in the Chinese painting club at 11 because she thought it would get her a job in her 20s. It’s more like a lot of energy that would have in previous generations gone into making and raising babies needs an outlet, so she instead spends her time supervising “snow bowls” and such. People evolved to reproduce and energy is supposed to go into that, demonize families and motherhood and other nonsense has to fill the void.

McMullin is a strange guy, like he was created in some lab to be the perfect globalist. A “conservative” that manages never to say a single thing that angers the left. 40 year old Mormon that’s never been married, indicating he’s a virgin. Actually quite strange, as Mormons are encouraged to marry young and are able to do so if they’re decent providers. So what’s his deal? Conveniently popped up out of nowhere, agreeing with the deep state on every single issue, right when they were hoping that someone could come along, split the conservative vote and keep Trump from winning.

Something strange is going on here. Surprising that no internet sleuths have looked into this.

So I was wondering about the part about James Watson and Craig Venter testing their DNA against that of a Korean scientist and finding that they were closer to him than each other? I mean, that’s obviously very stupid, but where do they get that from?

Agreed about the comments, but I’m unsure about the implications. Is that an effect of Steve posting and the Sailersphere descending on the comments section? Steve, can you (or anyone else who saw the article then) comment on what the comments section looked like before you posted?

I checked within the same hour Steve posted, and it was already the case that the most popular comments were like 4 days old and HBD aware. Unless the site was linked to from some conservative site before liberals noticed the article, I don’t think that’s the explanation.

Well this article and its genre are depressing, but look at the comments. The ones at the top are all HBD-aware and basically making all the typical Sailerian arguments. The ordering seems to be based on likes from other readers. So that is…encouraging.

The internet has made a difference. Before, you could just repeat the same nonsense over and over and have the exact same blind spots. I guess you still can today, but common sense can talk back. This is why race realism and the alt right have benefited so greatly from a more democratic marketplace of ideas. Truth won’t always be popular, but it’ll at least find a constituency if given a voice.

Clicked the link holding out faint hope she’d be hot. Alas!

Like with any race, the hot ones are treated so well that they never build up the anger to become SJWs. The “feminists are ugly” folk wisdom has been consistently backed up by science. A lot of what ugly minorities ascribe to “racism” is really looksism.

OT, but the hijab mania is out of control.

In 2011, I was hired, straight out of college, to work at the White House and eventually the National Security Council. My job there was to promote and protect the best of what my country stands for. I am a hijab-wearing Muslim woman––I was the only hijabi in the West Wing––and the Obama administration always made me feel welcome and included.

Like most of my fellow American Muslims, I spent much of 2016 watching with consternation as Donald Trump vilified our community. Despite this––or because of it––I thought I should try to stay on the NSC staff during the Trump Administration, in order to give the new president and his aides, a more nuanced view of Islam, and of America’s Muslim citizens.

I lasted eight days.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/02/rumana-ahmed/517521/

Why do there seem to be 5 female Muslim SJWs for every male? They can’t date or party, so maybe this is the way they add excitement to their lives?

I’m afraid you’re looking at things through the lens of national interest, which doesn’t explain anything. I mean, what threat did white South Africa possibly pose to the US when it and its allies went about bringing the government down?

You hint at the truth though.

Russia is a white country, that explicitly promotes religion and nationalism, and is against gay rights. I mean, really, what’s there to explain? I remember 10 years or so ago gays in Russia was the biggest international story for a while. The law said that they couldn’t propagandize to children, they didn’t actually make homosexuality illegal. It was nothing compared to what third world countries do or what western states did to gays a few decades ago. But in two thousand whatever, a white nation going the “wrong way” on gays was absolutely unforgivable.

Also opposes overthrowing Assad. The foreign policy establishment decided that since overthrowing dictators worked so well in Iraq and Libya, if only we had done it in Syria everything would be wonderful. Yes, they’re that crazy.

Finally, they need a scapegoat for Hillary’s loss. For a few weeks after the election, they were running around with their hair on fire over “fake news,” the supposed juggernaut that brought down the queen. Then it became “The Russians stole it!” Because Russia is white and Christian, they can indulge in their hatreds without feeling much guilt about it.

Sort of like how they need to believe that Russia is the driving force behind the rise of the “far right” in Europe. It can’t possibly be that the people dislike mass Islamic immigration, can it? Unthinkable! They must be being manipulated by the Kremlin! When the Soviet Union’s insane economic policies failed, they always needed to find a scapegoat lest anyone think that their fundamental assumptions are wrong.

Russia is the white Christian boogeyman, responsible for the rise of Trump, resistance to mass migration, and the lack of transition to democracy in the Middle East. The only alternative for the establishment is to accept that their ideas are wrong and unworkable, which ideologues rarely do.

Said may have been a Bart Simpson type who battles authority not because he’s against authority in general, but because he isn’t the authority.

Great article, but can’t say that I ever really got that impression from Bart Simpson. Maybe Nelson?

The new report called for prohibiting any alterations resembling “enhancement”, including “off label” applications. Under the guidelines, a genetic technique aimed at strengthening the muscles of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, for instance, could not be used to make healthy people stronger.

In other words, let’s say that the cut-off for being a midget is 5’0. If you’re son is going to be born 5’1, he’s out of luck, and will probably be set up for a life of social rejection and misery. If he’s going to be born 4’11, well, then you can go ahead and make him 6 feet tall and give him an above average life.

And we’ll bring those with IQs of 65 up to 85, but don’t dare think about changing an 85 IQ to a 105! That would be eugenics!

A step in the right direction, to be sure. But this distinction between “curing disease” and “making improvements” has absolutely no logic to it. The only question is how long those who fear progress will hold humanity back.

NYT on immigration to Japan

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/10/business/japan-immigrants-workers-trump.html?emc=edit_th_20170212&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=62382746&_r=0

Show the amazing pressure that business puts on govts to allow immigration in some form or another even when the society explicitly does not want it.

The crime rate doesn’t look that bad for non-blacks. Aren’t liberals supposed to be the ones always worried about whether this or that policy “disproportionately harms minorities”? If blacks were a nation, their murder rate would be among the top 5 in the world. Yet they tell us that crime is no big deal and Trump is racist for worrying about it because overall the murder rate is not what it was 20 years ago.

Couldn’t find an English version?

But Belichick isn’t worried about being fired, so he can consistently exploit the NFL’s modest race bias against whites to find undervalued players.

Yes, this exactly what you’d expect in the corporate world if rampant “racism” and “sexism” were everywhere. Some more enlightened company would find all those undervalued women and minorities and blow away the competition. If liberals were correct, they should be going out there and starting companies and making a killing instead of clamoring for government intervention and media pressure to fix the diversity problem. But for course, liberals don’t do that, because their entire worldview is false.

In the west we used to have a norm that said that political violence was bad. Why have a “discussion” about something that was previously taboo? The point is to move the Overton window. A magazine can put itself in the current mainstream by denouncing violence, but by presenting it as something we should debate what they’re doing is ensuring that some people look at the arguments and say “You know what? With all due respect to those that disagree, I think that maybe we should punch Nazis.” Liberals only become less tolerant towards their enemies over time. Political violence and hate speech regulations are only under discussion today so tomorrow they can become a widely accepted reality among all good liberals.

Sort of like if you hear someone say that we should have a discussion about whether pedophilia should be legal, it’s probably because they’re sympathetic to the cause.

That’s probably Deep State loyalty from his dad. Sailer’s written about him.

His dad was killed by Islamists. If that doesn’t wake you up, what will? Shows that culture is more important for shaping political views than objective experience.

Honestly, the Warriors ruined the NBA. Remember when the commissioner vetoed a trade that would’ve sent Chris Paul to the Lakers for the good of the league? He should’ve found a way to do that with the Durant signing, although it probably would’ve gone against the collective bargaining agreement. Regardless, nobody in the league is even close now. They’ll win the championship, but how can Durant take pride in that? They were basically good enough to do it without him.

On a related note, it’s amazing how left the league has gotten the last few years. Probably was inevitable in a league that’s 80% black. And the whites who want to be involved with such a black dominated sport tend to become hyper SJWs (see Steve Kerr’s Twitter feed). Football remains relatively neutral politically due to the coaches and quarterbacks, along with the fan base. And it’s not just celebrating Black History Month and opposing the Muslim ban, the NBA was one of the most enthusiastic bullies pushing for tranny bathrooms. There’s a lesson there: if any institution is overwhelmingly non-white, it’s going far left not just on racial issues but everything. Same for the country.

Say what you will about her ideas but she is HOT. As hot as the mythical muslim girl in the propaganda poster Steve’s talked about recently.

I used to think that was maybe true when she was on TV, when they would show her from the waist or the neck up. But I met her in real life once, and she has the body of a frumpy older woman, despite being in her 30s. Without even having any children or a husband. Poor Julia, she substituted politics for a healthy personal life, and something tells me she’s not going to have a very happy next few decades.

The article is pretty unclear:

America urged Saddam Hussein to attack Hafez al-Assad’s Syria because of the closure of Iraq’s oil pipeline, a secret 1983 intelligence report has revealed.

A report, by former senior CIA official Graham Fuller, said the US should consider ‘urging Iraq to take the war to Syria’, noting that Saddam was ‘fighting for his life’ in the Iran-Iraq campaign.

So which is it? Did the US actually try to get Saddam to attack Syria or did just one guy in the CIA think that would be a good idea? Usually the Daily Mail is pretty good at telling you what you need to know but this is pretty awful.

I’m sure that there are all kinds of crazy ideas floating around the government, most of which never becomes policy.

Theory: 100 pound heterosexual, sick of being picked on and feeling inferior, adopts “interex” identity and identity politics to make himself feel better. Leads to socializing with pretty liberated women, but the normal heterosexual desires were still dormant under the freak show facade. One day, he just snaps.

Not German, but I would’ve guessed Bielefeld. I thought “Why are they asking this question? Oh, they’re trying to give me an interesting factoid and maybe demonstrate the point that cities we’ve never heard of can have bigger populations than cities that are more famous.”

Watching the Patriots game just now there was a Walmart commercial featuring a family headed by a black woman and an Asian man.

ha ha, I saw this combination on my Twitter feed for an article supposedly opposing political correctness

There’s also another ad about “love” that shows the same.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/03/04/watch_this_brilliant_ad_council_x_ray_skeleton_video_about_love_video.html

Obviously, when they have a job making an ad or a stock picture, a lot of educated people say to themselves “I’m the kind of person who knows that race doesn’t matter. What would be the ideal combination that I could put forth to prove that race doesn’t matter? Oh, I know!”

Yes, I’ve noted before, “democracy” is

1) Openness to immigration
2) Pro-gay
3) Giving unaccountable liberals powe

As France, the Netherlands, and Germany show, putting your opponents on trial is not “anti-democratic” as long as it’s to fight the “far right.”

Sort of like how America is still a democracy with liberal norms even though leftists ban conservatives from speaking on college campuses and hound them out of business. If the state was looking the other way while conservatives were doing the same to liberals, there would be widespread agreement that we do not live in a free country.

I’ve always found it odd that the left never wants to differentiate between different groups of people when advocating more immigration. I mean, what are the odds that every group of humans on this planet is a net benefit to first world societies? Perhaps the majority in Australia, the US, and Western Europe is so awful, that we can just assume anyone coming to these countries has to be an improvement? Either that, or they simply want as many non-whites as possible and don’t particularly care about what it does to the native born.

In Germany, the ruling class is using the Christmas Market attack in Berlin to escalate the anti-refugee campaign led by Alternative for Germany.

Of course! I was wondering why Merkel let in a million refugees last year and was arresting anyone who protested. Taking a million people prone to violence and without any skills is necessary to build a movement against them. It was all so that they could start killing Germans, in which case she could strengthen the anti-refugee movement led by Alternative for Germany. Makes perfect sense now.

From the Diplomat article you cite

In June, the government announced that the number of children with at least one parent of non-Korean heritage reached 150,000 this year, a number that has increased fourfold over the last four years. They are expected to number over 1.6 million by 2020, with a third of all children born that year the offspring of international unions.

Ok, that’s a lot higher than I expected. Even if you assume half involve a foreigner that is an ethnic Korean or Chinese, you still have about 17% of children with foreign origins by 2020.

I personally don’t think it’s the end of the world, as Vietnam’s test scores are actually pretty good. If these kids do poorly in school, it may have less to do with the ethnicity of their mothers than the fact that their fathers are unable to find wives in their own country, maybe because they’re not very good providers. Differential birth rates by IQ is a huge issue even independent of immigration, and stupid Koreans having more children also brings down the national average.

The process is more advanced than what most people think. South Korea does not keep statistics on ethnic origin. Most statistics are about “foreign residents” and that figure is only 3-4%. The term “foreign resident” excludes, however, adult members of the second generation.

There simply hasn’t been enough time for there to be much of a second generation. If you look at the marriage statistics, 13% involve a foreigner. We can take that to mean that the other 87% are between two ethnic Koreans, since there hasn’t been time for non-Koreans to grow up and get married. As you pointed out, immigration only really started after 2000, so people born to foreigners haven’t had the time to grow up and get married yet.

Unquestionably, however, the lack of data on ethnic origin will make it difficult to interpret demographic statistics in the future.

It also excludes the growing population of undocumented immigrants.

Growing to what? We don’t have data to judge. I suspect that it might be much harder to go through life as an illegal immigrant in Korea compared to the US or Western Europe. Furthermore, many illegal immigrants come to work and then go back, which would not cause demographic change long term. When I saw South Asians, they were almost always groups of men, indicating that they might not be there for permanent settlement.

And this is assuming that current immigration flows will remain as they are now. But they won’t. They will shift more and more away from East Asia and towards Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa. That is where the pressure for out-migration is strongest.

And yet South Korea has completely locked out Syrian refugees. Why assume when there’s even less international pressure to accept migrants they’ll throw open the doors? They don’t even need to believe in race, just holding on to the assumption that immigration should be a net financial benefit to the nation would preclude large scale settlement of Middle Easterners or Africans.

If you go into South Korean schools, particularly in rural areas, you’ll find that most of the “New Koreans” are of Filipino, Indonesian, or Cambodian origin, with growing numbers of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. That is the future South Korea we’ll see twenty years from now.

Fine, but the country is 82% urbanized. It would be like, if in the United States, California and New York were completely white, but non-whites were increasing in Wyoming and Montana. We shouldn’t exaggerate the change here.

I note the troubling trends with regards to culture and public education. However, I’d caution against trying to understand Korean culture through reading a bunch of Western academics. Imagine trying to learn about the United States from scholars who focus on ethnic issues. There’s simply a lot we don’t know.

I can say, however, from being on the ground, that TV is exclusively Korean, and all advertisements you see feature either Koreans or whites. How much of a grip can multiculturalism have on a nation if foreign residents are still invisible in the media? (Asians using whites in ads has been normal for decades and precedes any kind of societal acceptance of multiculturalism)

What we do have is hard numbers, and they say that there have only been 100,000 naturalizations or so in a country of 50 million. That’s 0.2%. Plus more than half are ethnic Koreans, Chinese, or Japanese. We can speculate on illegal immigrants or huge differentials in birth rates, but we really don’t know how much of a factor any of that is.

No doubt the country is changing, it’s just the pace that is up to debate. And how big of a problem it is depends on the degree to which you think that kids who are half southeast Asian can assimilate.

The disastrously low birth rate is another issue altogether.
