Forget what that lady says. Forcing them to merge would be a fascinating political experiment.

An hour spent in a suburb or an office will disabuse you of this belief.

You must have found those doctorate-level courses in econometrics too easy.

The women, duh.

It puzzles me why East Asia is almost always used to represent Asia as a whole. Why not compare Asian IQ (East, South, and Central) to European IQ?

Try Arnold Bennett’s novels. They portray the Potteries in a less lurid light.

WTF is exactly what I thought!

I once tried watching Rogan’s show. I lasted less than five minutes. His program is meant for dudes and bros who want to put on airs.

And many of those 0.5%, in turn, take up positions of great influence in society.

Seems as if it’s always non-Asian women who age rapidly, are grossly obese and vacuous. Are they embarrassed? Quite the contrary.

On the other hand, there are plenty of twenty- and thirty-something Asian women working in nail salons who not only are not slaves but are making serious money. I know of a woman—just a normal nail tech, not a salon owner—who pulls down nearly 100k a year (gross).

I wager that John Milton or Samuel Johnson will go before Darwin. Easier pickings.

Or have they already been cancelled?

The irony is that the very girls who are harmed by this nonsense probably supported Joe by a ratio of ten-to-one.

And before Poland?

5 times? Among scientists? That figure must surely be larger.

Indian and East Asian women hate white men? Huh? Do you read a lot of Sarah Jeong?

Indeed.

There will be more of such moments with fewer police around.

White femininity?

It’s less that they see a societal collapse, than that they want a societal collapse.

The CIA inspires too many interesting cloak-and-dagger movies for them to be “thrown in the trash can.” Where would we be without Jack Ryan and Jason Bourne?

I know exactly what the New American Cause should be.

Environmentalist that I am, I want to see a bona fide crusade to reduce the national waistline. Who’s with me?

If we are all Asian now does that mean our society will no longer have troubles like obesity, drug addiction, violent crime, and dilapidated infrastructure?

Does it mean women will now be slender and feminine instead of obese, purple-haired, bitter, and schoolmarmish?

The people want to know.

The love motels are still there. And what national treasures they are! God bless the RoK!

Obese is left out because its redundant.

What about Pr(obese|middle-aged female HR mgr)?Pr(obese|middle-aged female HR mgr named Susan)?

Cowboy, you’re right.

Catholics are not Christian. Catholics are, to the surprise of many, Catholic. Regardless of what anyone says we are not a “branch” of Christianity—a vague religious term that lumps together hundreds (or is it thousands?) of Protestant groups. The Catholic Church was started by God, with St. Peter as her first Pope. Protestant religions were started by men (sometimes by con-men).

Speaking of pagan, lately I’ve noticed in the Protestant world the bizarre attempts by “alt-right” types to resurrect beliefs in the gods of their pre-Christian ancestors. Soon enough we’ll see ex-Protestants genuflecting to Thor and his mighty hammer.

If you’re interested in Asian languages I recommend Korean. Hangul (the Korean alphabet) is easy to learn and this makes self study comparatively easier than is the case with other Asian languages.

Excel gets a lot of flak mainly because the putrid masses use it. I rely on SPSS or EViews but Excel still gets the job done. Plus, Excel is more sensible for self-study in statistics and financial modeling.

Prof Levitt’s wrong here. I’d argue that the switch from math (algebra, calc, and so on) to data science is dangerous. Data science is hard (in some ways harder than pure math) and its results can be counterintuitive (not to mention politically incorrect). Keep data science in the hands of those who have already taken a lot of math (say, through linear algebra & ODE) or else you will dumb down the field and everyone will come out of the courses with pseudo-intellectual pretensions about their ability to work with data. Better to have a man untrained with data than with a trivial understanding. Otherwise you’ll have even worse decisions in business and public life.

Anyway, last time I checked my alma-mater went from offering three calculus courses (honors, calc for engineering, general) to this

Honors calculus (geared for math majors)
Calculus for engineers
General calculus
Survey of calculus
Brief survey of calculus (!)
Business calculus (huh?)

The above is exactly what will happen to data analysis courses which will result in students that are confident incompetents. It’s like the old saying that a little learning is a dangerous thing.

But unlike Carthage, America gives her denizens the constitutional right to practice child murder. Er,
reproductive choice, I mean.

About the jocks, you’re correct. But it’s much more about the paucity of female attention they experience throughout life. Attractive females, that is.

Jews aren’t self-critical? Whence come the notion of the self-hating Jew? Can’t speak about Asians in general, but I find Koreans to be unusually self-critical.

Precisely which nations, in your view, possess this first-rate brain power?

Is it just me or do articles about Asians result in an unusually large number of comments?

I don’t doubt your experience. I’ve observed the same (minus the racial epithets). And it’s obvious why it happens. But enjoying the news of deaths of low class whites? Even they deserve compassion, have abilities.

This is apropos of my earlier comments on Eric Hoffer. Many of his writings address your very perspective towards degenerate whites. He spent much of his life living and working among such people. In fact, in his first work, The True Believer, he quotes the Old Testament story of the building of the Tower of Babel where it says “..and slime had they for mortar.” They might be white slime, so to speak, but they are still people of some potential and a people who deserve to be treated with decency. Today, they are a people for whom so many feel an unjustifiable malice.

Asian men, East Asian men anyway, are an economic threat. They can accomplish much on a factory floor or in the boardroom. Asian women, a sexual threat. That they’re a sexual threat to white, western females is blindingly obvious to anyone with eyes. Examples abound but, in my experience, try Daegu, South Korea (the hometown many Miss Korea contestants, I hear).

And, ironically, no small part of those opioid deaths that so warm your heart, are due to outsourcing production to Asia. No compassion for working class white men, I guess.

The inclusive “all” was due to him being a generalist. I think it was in “Working and Thinking on the Waterfront” where he quotes economist Walter Bagehot that to illustrate an idea one has to “exaggerate much, and omit much.” For him he said that writing was like drawing a caricature—you emphasis the salient features. Plus, stylistically-speaking, the use of “all” sticks in the mind. Hoffer was in no way an academic (that is, in the connotative sense of the word—he lectured at UC Berkeley for a time). With words he was lucid, urbane, and economical—the diametrical opposite of an academic.

Check out “Between the Devil and the Dragon.”

Contains the True Believer plus other fine essays and aphorisms of Eric Hoffer.

Touchy, touchy.

I thought the sarcasm was apparent in my comment.

Also, I don’t live under a rock. And I only get stoned on Jesus 🤣.

Are you telling me that a once-great company was destroyed by a self-worshipping American boomer wahman? Give me a break. We readers of Unz weren’t born yesterday!!!

I recall an essay by Arnold Bennett where he claimed that Balzac and Dickens (Dostoyevsky, too?) were motivated mainly by money. “Noble” motives are unnecessary to achieve great things. Base ones will do.

Henry Yu, incel.

Let’s revise the quote at the beginning. Imagine a white woman saying something along this line: “I have been doing business in Africa for decades, and I will tell you that yeah, the Africans can take a handout, but what they can’t do is feed themselves.” It is curious: whites (boomers especially) feel free to criticize East Asians. But Blacks, other races? Perish the thought!!!

The Current Western View of East Asia as of 9. 17.19:

Japan: they should flood their nation with the third world because the Nikkei fell 0.0001%. Because The economist magazine.

Korea: What? You think Korean women are beautiful and stylish? Silly western man… They just wanna look like white girls!!! It’s all plastic surgery!!! Waaa!!!
***if they wanted to look like white girls, they’d live at McDonald’s and fry their skin on a tanning bed. But, I digress.

China: can’t innovate, can’t create. Proof: Human Accomplishment by Charles Murray.. Q.E.D!!!

Maybe the reality is this: China rises, America decays, a genuine new world order emerges. Used to be only blue collar whites (like my dad) had to worry about a rising China. No one gave a shit about blue collar white men when they were losing their jobs. No one cared about their troubles. Now things have changed. Now, white yuppies (and their kids) are feeing the heat. Screw them.

I recall that Paul Fussell, in his book Class, wrote that the upper classes (or was it just the toos?) use summer as a verb. The middles go on vacation.

Bigger breasts. But way more cellulite.

They can pry Mozart and Chopin from my cold, dead hands.

Spent more than a few hours at Incheon Airport. I don’t remember slutty-looking women. I do remember the wonderful lack of fatties. It is the wonderful lack of fatties that makes Korea (anywhere in Asia really) such a great place.

I notice that women (at least where I live) often will not look both ways when crossing a street. Someone else here once made the same observation. And now this. I wonder if Intersectional Chicken will become a new social trend.

Reading this article makes me glad I went to Asia to get married.

The anti-war movement was a middle/upper class boomer tantrum in response to the threat of having their own balls placed on the table. Now that they’re too old to be drafted they can spend their sabbath watching war highlights on CNN or sports highlights on ESPN. My g-g-g-generation!!!

And, dear African reader, if you find life in Africa to be a bit distasteful there’s always Europe. Their land is your land.

Here I am, a Pole, strutting around with this puffed up Polish ego when, really, I’m no better than a street-shitter.

Heil Putler. Funniest thing I’ve read all day.

I can’t agree. I mean, just think of how instructive this rant is in a psychological sense. Fred still cannot forgive Trump for failing to genuflect to the Latinx, notably his consort.

A prediction: In the future there will be a millennial Fred Reed angry with a president who fails to pay homage to the Chinese, and thus his dragon girl.

I like reading Pat. I really do. And I like reading people like him. But it would be nice to read an article by Pat without seeing Ronald Reagan invoked. The Reagan fetish needs to end. It’s comical how many aging conservatives were (and are) bewitched by the guy.

Lived in Korea. 3 years, mostly Busan. It was an eye-opener just how awful American expats looked compared with the locals. Men looked weak, soft, sick even. Women were fat with blotchy skin and bitchy facial expression. I think it was Linh Dinh who, in a recent article, wrote that American physical degeneration is as pronounced as its mental degeneration.

The anger has nothing whatever to do with immigration. They rage at Melania. She’s beautiful, stylish, feminine. Affluent suburban women in America not so much.

Stats teacher is wrong. Qualitative thinking is thinking, too. Take beauty, for example. Beauty cannot be understood, or fully understood, with mathematics. Let’s say mass immigration from the third-world genuinely benefited ordinary American citizens (benefited economically, that is). I, for one, could not care less. The US needs beauty, not baubles. Third-world types bring their ugliness with them. There is too much ugliness in America already-too many cities are ugly, too many people are fat slobs, too many dress slovenly.

That, and a large fraction consume psychiatric drugs.

I don’t think they’re “so great.” Let me clarify: young whites, particularly young men of lower SE status, could learn a thing or two from the behaviors of East Asians. Notably in regards to academics and the consequent economic benefits that result. I was responding to the comical statement that American females are irresistible (his word, not mine) and this leads young American men to waste crucial years chasing after them.

If you want to see women with the qualities you cite then visit Seoul, visit Moscow, visit Riga.

Who are these American grrrls you describe? Amerigirrrls are irresistible? Good grief. By irresistible do you mean cartoonish levels of narcissism coupled with gag-inducing BMIs?

Kudos to the Chinese boy who studies on Saturday night. He’s not missing out on a damn thing. If American white kids want to party their youth away then do so, by all means. But, when the excitements of youth fade, and those white kids grow up to become overweight forty-somethings with BA in Psychology pulling in a whopping 32K per year I hope they blame themselves and not the tide from the east.

Where is The Empowered Woman with Arms Akimbo?

This is NOT about black and white. This is about a person killing another person. I wonder if the killer was white…would this have ever been posted??? It’s heartbreaking…she’s gone. All killers…no matter the ethnicity…should be held accountable. There all kinds of people who have done incomprehensible acts. Are we really keeping score? Seems like this post is meant to take attention from the victim and generate anger toward black people as a race. Small minded people, are entitled to their opinion too…unfortunately

Starbuck’s financial condition is beside the point. If you are a regular reader of iSteve then surely you’ve noticed that Steve comments on stories that are seemingly trivial but have non-trivial underlying implications.

And yet, this Nordic master race has turned into what is perhaps the most neutered group of people in all of Christendom. In Sweden you have Africans and Muslims throwing their weight around like they own the place, raping your women, etc. The “superior” Nordic man watches all this and does nothing.

To that, add South Korea. It is not a shit hole.

Meh. The RCC and its splendor will last until the end of time. Protestantism, particularly the American variety, has become a kind of auto-caricature. I’ve concluded that envy underlies just about every criticism mouthed by Protestants.

We Catholics have the Mass, Eucharist, breathtaking architecture, breathtaking art, Catholic schools, Mozart, more attractive women (compare Poland vs. England, for example), etc, etc. Protestants? Basically hooting and hollering about muh Jeezus and the end of the world. I feel bad for them, really.

Like a good Protestant southerner, Fred just had to make a swipe at the Catholic Church.

This post will make Fred very, very unhappy.

The spike occurs around the time Obama got elected. Being Obama’s hometown it was probably the hippest place to be for cool white people.

Junk bonds may in fact be even riskier than common stock

how are poles and balts psychotic? they strike me as a rather sane, sober people

Fred dislikes Trump because Trump doesn’t wax poetic on how wonderful Mexicans are. This irks Fred because his significant other is Mexican. That’s all there is to it.

Agree, fundamentally this is Christian personal morality (love thy neighbour) naively being applied as political morality via democracy

Steve:

What are the chances that the leak that the NY FBI Office is “Trumpland” is a misinformation campaign doled out by HRC and her minions?

Now that the Cubs are no longer losers, will they still be lovable?

Will a victory on the North Side help stop the shootings on the South Side?

Weiner’s weiner may have saved us from war with Russia.

Can’t the schedulers simply start the season in late March in mostly domed or Southern cities? It’s not that hard to figure out. Possible few days competition with March Madness. Then even out the schedule by mid-Summer so no team has a home field advantage for the end of season pennant race. Also play 1 doubleheader per team. End season Sept 20-25. This is not that difficult, folks.

Don’t you still get the feeling that Bill Clinton, if he had his druthers, would rather spend his time having fun, talking smack and golfing with The Donald than campaigning with HRC? But he’s obligated because of what he did to her back in the 1990s and beyond. Probably would’ve loved to fly back East with Trump on Trump Force One last night rather than the Stronger Together Express.

So Hillary compared 2000 Election to Nigerian rigged election and also said that after 2000 we should eliminate the Electoral College.

If you actually look closely rhe guy is actually wear a Hillary for Prison shirt. The last letter on the second line ends in a lowercase n. It is cut off in the picture. He is also wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Bernie’s crowds were yuge too, but the Dem Machine rolled right over them.

Looks like a cross between Rick Moranis and Woody Allen.

Cross between Rick Moranis and Woody Allen

Made me think of Fred “The Chicken” Stanley and Brian Doyle filling in for injured Willie Randolph at 2B in the 1978 World Series.

Steve:

Obviously you have some influence with people in Trump’s inner circle. At a minimum, you know somebody who knows somebody who can get Miller or Conway to read this article and then have Trump give an articulate telepromptered speech (fingers crossed) that summarizes this exact thought. Hell, even give them the right to use exact phrases you put forth here. It’s getting too late in the game (both in this election cycle and for American as a nation) to not do this. Move mountains if you need to.

I remember watching NBC’s “Silent Bowl” in 1980 where the Jets played the Dolphins. It was a few days after John Lennon was shot. That was a bit too much silence.

He did the same thing in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series after the ball went thru Buckner’s legs.

Steve:

Drudge has video up that has Hillary’s left eye bugging out during a speech. The only thing I can conpare it to Is Marty Feldman’s eyes in Young Frankenstein.

I live in IL too but are primary ballots have both sides on them even independents or Green Party.

People of Chicago, you have let the media blind you. If he was a bad choice for this country Ben Carson (a extremely intelligent man) would not be backing him. Don’t let the media warp your mind, they are working together with the government to try to get him kicked out because he won’t don’t them any favors, they can’t control him, he will clean house and get rid of the corruption if he is elected. Trump has billions, being a president doesn’t really pay that much. So stop saying he’s just in it for the money blah blah blah he could care less about the money. He is a patriot and wants to protect and uphold the constitution. He wants to keep dangerous terrorists out of our country. He is a super successful man and he will make our country successful again! He has friends in high places all over the world. No more TTP! He will establish trade routes with countries individually, no more trade deficits!!! Those people that were pushed at his rally like that one woman, she was sent in there by the media to cause a scene and then when she was told to leave her big ass wouldn’t move. How is that Trumps fault? so what if he said “get em out of here” he said the same thing when two white boys were being obnoxious at the rally I was at. He can’t control the actions of every person. That shouldn’t take away from the amazing message he has been preaching. Sooooo many people that are used to sitting on the couch all day and collecting checks from the government hate trump, oh well I wonder why? Because those people will have to get off their asses and acctually get a job if Trump gets elected. Some people need help, but a lot are just plain lazy slobs and we are tired of paying your way with our tax money!!!! Can’t believe you would try and block him from making a speech, you don’t see people who don’t like Hillary or Bernie blocking any of their speeches. But I realize this is not your fault. The media has herded you like sheep.

Google ‘Lenin who whom’

Use to be a loyal MR reader. Now I only read MR for Steve's comments.

You are doing God's work, Steve.

I don’t get it. Is the joke “buttsecks lol”?

I respect rhythmic gymnastics. I also respect ballet, the physical demands of which far exceed those of most sports – these Olympians have nothing on ballerinas. But are they sports? Not so much. They’re art forms.

By the way, this:

“It looks like an excellent way to keep your daughter off the pole, a classy way for show-offy pretty girls to dance for the admiration of the crowd. ”

is not the most convincing argument I’ve heard for why Americans should respect this activity – you’ve pretty much reduced its merits to a)it’s pretty fluff performed by pretty fluff and b) it’s a good alternative to sex work. It doesn’t sound like you respect it so much as think it’s cute. Dance, cheerleading, etc. serve the same purpose more cheaply; no need to shoehorn them into the Olympics either (although I’m pretty sure that last one will probably make its debut eventually)

Of course, there’s no need to pick on rhythmic gymnastics which is no more a ridiculous inclusion than, for example, synchronized swimming (also an art form rather than a sport) or speed walking (although the news that a speed walker had been disqualified for doping did provide me with a nice laugh).

Hi I would like to make note of the features that Ethiopians/Malagasy/Swahili peoples all sometimes seem to share. My mother is of pure ethiopian descent, yet she is often mistaken for an indonesian. (She has high cheek boned and a small enpathic **is that the right word??** fold on her eyes. I am myself half english (white) and I look distictly oriental. On my most recent visit to ethiopia I took this into note and found that alot of the people in ethiopia have small hints of “mongol” appearance such as the singular fold in the eyes and high cheek bones, along with the small stature of their body height. I thought it was impossible so please help – ive been wondering about this for a long time!!!
