    This reflects the infantilization and femininization of modern academia, particularly in the humanities.

    The people who are now young professors were once good little girls (even if they were boys, they were still girls,) who always diligently did their homework. Today, in adulthood, they view scholarship as a form of homework, so it must hew to certain conventions, and foremost among those is the citation: The more, the better. Even if they’re only tangentially relevant. “Look, teacher, I did all of my homework! 300 papers cited! How about that?”

    Compare today’s academic writing — even in philosophy, of all things — to the 19th century’s. In the 19th century, one had to make very bold statements and reveal all sorts of hidden truths, or one would hardly amount to a footnote. Philosophy was a contact sport where opinions were vigorously debated. Today, we have a bunch of midwits (lowwits, even,) who write books and papers which contain hundreds of citations, but who are exceedingly cautious about making any original statements of their own, and whose criticism is reserved for the unorthodox.

    So Dems have worked up the Magic Hate Campaign and get the old bait-and-switch.

    Of course Jews 100 years ago were what you call free speech fundamentalists. That's because at the time the ideas they had were unpopular and largely un-American - Frankfort School, Marxism, Communism, interventionist, anti-nationalist, etc. As usual, they exploited a high trust system to their advantage.

    But fast forward to today, when Jews now control the narrative, they are as big on censorship as the Hindus who come here.

    I think that's a profound distinction that needs to be pointed out.

    Excellent! VDare's "Washington Watcher II" wrote an article a few weeks back, "Ohio GOP Hopefuls Vance, Mandel, Gibbons Show Different Ways To Handle The “Racist” Smear", in which he noted that Mr. Vance did the best job of repelling the racism "charge". WWII:

    Vance sees this vitriol every day on social media. But instead talking about how much he loves Martin Luther King or showing off his mixed-race family (his wife is Indian), Vance makes a broader point about how the Left uses the smear to suppress regular Americans and silence debate about immigration. He fearlessly discusses the problems with immigration and how we should address them. Vance adds a personal note by highlighting the devastating toll drugs from Mexico have on rural America. Drugs nearly killed his mother, a sad chapter in his life depicted in stark, searing honesty in the film based on his best-selling memoir.

    Unsurprisingly, that response, one of the best to unhinged attacks from the Left, drew more accusations from the media [JD Vance accused of racism over new campaign ad, by Gustaf Kilander, The Independent, April 6, 2022]. Vance was unperturbed. The ad was meant to gain attention and demonstrate he’s on the side of Trump voters who oppose Open Borders. It was not intended to placate his Leftist critics. Mission accomplished.

    Very public spirited of those two football players to pick up trash along the roadsides, but they really need to be wearing gloves and protective clothing. Even prison road crews do.

    Trash is certainly a problem in Latin countries, but my observation is that it is worse in rural areas where there is not really any proper garbage pickup and removal service and people have to rely on goats, bonfires and gulleys

    The city where I live in Ecuador is almost completely trash free. Garbage collection is several times a week, and people usually put the trash in supermarket or retail plastic bags and then hang it on a rack on the fence or gate, so that the dogs and cats cannot get to it.

    There is also an extensive road sweeping crew that sweeps the gutters by hand. They are always dressed from head to foot in green, including boots, gloves caps, neck covers, face masks, and goggles.

    You definitely have to put a lot of the blame for trash on supermarkets, where nearly everything is wrapped in plastic packaging, or soda cans, and on fast food takeouts. Where people buy fruits and vegetables and meats and fish in open markets, there is no packaging other than plastic bags.

    If we could go back to selling food items loose whenever possible and having liquids and drinks in glass bottles that can be reused forever, they would probably be less trash everywhere.

    One of the worst offending items is, or used to be, cigarette packaging. People who smoke outdoors regard it as obligatory to throw the poisonous butts on the ground where they may be picked up by birds or other creatures. But then there is the cellophane wrapping, the paper foil wrapping, the tags to pull on to open the packet, and the boxes themselves.

    In the US I have often noticed that people will throw trash out of car windows while driving, but I am not usually able to classify them by race. One rarely sees reports of people being prosecuted for this.

    In general, the more trash pickup services and street cleaning that cities have, the cleaner the streets, but maybe it IS worse down Mexico way. Perhaps they need a Don’t muck up Mexico campaign.

    When I was at Caltech, the whole first year was Pass/Fail.

    This was indeed a good idea, since it took a while to adjust to the idea that 60 % on a test might be the top grade in the class (this actually happened on my first physics quiz -- I had 60 %; as a physics major, I was pretty worried -- until I found that no one else in the entire freshman class had a score that high!).

    Of course, being Caltech students, we still paid attention to what grades we would have earned, where we ranked in the class, etc. No one just kicked back and relaxed.

    A broader question is what the real purpose of schooling is: Should it be primarily to measure how much the student knows at the end of a class? Or should it be a measure of how much his knowledge increased as a result of taking the class (maybe he already knew a lot about the subject but did not learn much more)? Or how hard he worked? Or how smart he is?

    Or maybe schooling should focus on simply helping students to learn as much as they are able rather than measuring the students? Or maybe helping the student to learn as much as he wants to learn or is likely to find useful?

    I just listed a half dozen different, mutually contradictory, goals. No one really thinks through what the real goal should be.

    My take, by the way, is that employers care overwhelmingly about how smart you are and how hard-working you are and, secondarily, whether you have specific knowledge useful to their job (if you don't, but you are smart and hard-working, you can be trained).

    Aside from those issues, they do not give a damn about your overall academic knowledge.

    In my experience upper-middle class to elite Hispanics in Southern California are about 70% Iberian in phenotype, and the remaining 30% about equally divided between Northern European phenotype and mestizo. Even though about 25% of Mexico is Indian or mostly-Indian, I have never, ever, met such a person with a high end professional job. The most successful one I can think of was my concrete contractor.

    They intermarry with UMC/elite whites at a very high rate so I imagine the “hispanic” kids getting into CalTech, 2004-5 births, will frequently be tall and blond like my neighbor’s HS kid, who is 25% Mexican and 75% white American, and has an anglo first and last name.

    His half Mexican mother looks Northern European, but her brother whom I have met many times looks southern Spanish, black hair and eyes, heavy build, hirsute. I have met his kids too but not their mother. They are black haired and very pale and kind of goth looking, and that darker part of the family is also poorer and shows slight Amerindian ancestry. They visit our nice suburb for family gatherings since it is safe and quiet.

    In summary, while Mexico’s white elites didn’t really come to the US in large numbers, the mestizos who did have sorted themselves into a replication of the color caste system through selective mating among themselves and native whites.

    Can't really say, but I doubt they're "elites." Only a tiny sliver of Hispanics in America come from an elite background, and I'd bet they'd tend to go to law schools or B schools rather than Caltech.

    The last time I checked, the average Hispanic in America is more than 60% European by genetic ancestry, though that's not widely recognized. My guess is that Caltech Hispanics might skew somehow more European than average, but probably the overwhelming majority would look obviously Hispanic/Mestizo to you or anyone else.

    Both sets of practices are hideously barbaric, unfortunately.
     
    I have watched kosher slaughter many times. While it's not pleasant to watch, I can't say it is hideously barbaric. Eating meat requires that you kill the animal. Killing is on some level barbaric and bloody no matter what method is used and it's never going to be pleasant. But I don't see kosher slaughter as being particularly cruel compared to other methods. The animal's throat is slit and trachea, esophagus and carotid arteries are severed with a very sharp, flawless knife The loss of blood supply to the brain render the animal unconscious very quickly if this is done properly.

    Even if this is not the 100% optimal method according to "modern science", you have to balance any alleged decrease in cruelty against the fact that this is an ancient religious practice and and important tenet of some people's religious faith, which should be given the benefit of the doubt. If it was outlawed, religious Jews would not adopt allegedly "more humane" practices - they would just have to give up eating meat.

    Also we have seen that "modern scientific experts" are not gods but very fallible humans who are often swayed by politics and fads and allegiance to Leftist causes and who change their minds, so to change ancient religious practices just because a so called "expert" says so is not necessarily a wise course. I don't think I've ever met a PETA type person who I would consider to be mentally stable and I wouldn't take advice from them on ANYTHING. If you wanted to ban the slaughter of all animals I could see this (not that I agree), but I don't think that kosher slaughter is particularly worse than other methods.

    That was sort of the premise of the movie Paycheck, which was a pretty good sci-fi thriller. Ben Affleck played an engineer whom companies would employ to reverse engineer their competition's products and then wipe his memory afterward. Probably based on a Phillip K. Dick story.

    I read in Entine’s book about race and sports, Taboo that a Norwegian distance runner went to Kenya and ran with the Kalenjin. He thought 30%(?) of the young men would be competitive distance runners on the world stage.

    Would Kalenjin running advantages translate to cycling? Would redesigning a bicycle to their biomechanics help? There is a cyclist from Kenya who was in the last couple-more Tours de France, Chris Froome, but he’s white.

  • I remember being in Copenhagen around 2006 and seeing a van full of police dressed in that weird paramilitary style that became so popular in large parts of continental Europe since the late 90s. It was going in the same direction as me and eventually I caught up with them.

    They’d set up a checkpoint… for cyclists. I don’t know what they were enforcing, rules on helmets, (I’m actually not sure if it is the law in Denmark as you see almost all adults not wearing them) people disobeying traffic rules. (I think it may have been a trend of people ‘bike jaywalking’ past red lights when they felt there was no traffic around, potentially dangerous at night) But it was surreal to see a bunch of young men dressed like fascist paramilitaries stopping a young women with long blonde hair on a bike at a bike checkpoint.

    The things you can do when law and order aren’t seen as ethnic or racial things. Of course, today Denmark does (And did then) have an ethnic crime problem but unlike Sweden which continued heavy amounts of immigration, Denmark was the lucky country in having Pia Kjærsgaard and the DPP coming into government in a long-term coalition and being given the immigration brief at the key moment in the early 2000s when asylum fraud just exploded. (I suspect the internet was a key factor) The only example of this happening in a Western country. So now Denmark has a much smaller and not as fast growing problem as Sweden whose second city, Malmo, is absolutely dominated by it politically and socially.

    In Denmark the immigrants don’t surround the Danes, the Danes surround the immigrants and their ubiquity isn’t the same given. They don’t have an ‘immigrant veto’ as I constantly see everywhere in the West where natives fear offending them by talking among themselves about things like immigration.

    The problem in the West is simply minoritarianism. This idea that majorities must accommodate minorities, rather than the reverse. That being a minority gives you some sort of special status and privilege. That a nation does not belong to its core people–the productive normies who follow their ancestors in maintaining the nation, making it function and passing it on to their children.

    Minoritarianism is upside down, toxic and cancerous. No nation or civilization can survive with an ideology of negating itself. That whole ideology is what has to be utterly defeated–chucked out wholesale–to save the West.

    I do not know how many people recall the advent of gmail in 2004, but at the time, there was an enormous to-do because google was scanning emails for keywords to better target ads to eyeballs. What's more, if you were a non-gmail user, and sent an account holder an email, you could look forward to having your email scanned, too, despite your never agreeing to allow that to happen.

    Overnight, google did away with any expectation of privacy in what had formerly been widely accepted as private communication.

    Did google change its policies immediately as a result of people complaining? You bet they didn't. What happened, instead, was that consumers became "trained" to accept that having their emails scanned was acceptable in exchange for having an email address at a new, hip domain.

    (Google discontinued the practice a decade later strictly as an exercise in public relations [Look what a good company we are!] because by then they had moved on to other, more lucrative ways to mine user data.)

    Sure, it makes perfect sense. The small group of plotters who orchestrated the attack tried to take steps to protect America from any possible blowback, so they organized the Crimson Contagion exercise from January to August 2019 in which state and federal officials practiced their defense against the sudden appearance of a dangerous respiratory virus in China. They also got the DIA to produce a secret report describing the "potentially cataclysmic" disease in Wuhan...just before it actually occurred.

    And yet, the more I think about this, the more I fear we may be underestimating the sheer brilliance of Putin’s farsightedness. After all, we’ve recently heard that Putin is always followed by his thyroid-cancer specialist:

    Surgeon Yevgeny Selivanov, of Moscow’s Central Clinical Hospital, has flown to the Russian leader no less than 35 times in Black Sea resort Sochi, his favourite place of residence. The respected doctor’s thesis – showing his area of medical expertise – was entitled: ‘Peculiarities of diagnostics and surgical treatment of elderly and senile patients with thyroid cancer’.

    Surely Putin must have (perhaps in the course of any irradiation treatments) come to understand the salvific power of atomic radiation, and the exuberant youthful glow it gave to his formerly sallow complexion. Moreover, consider the steroids those irradiated soldiers are now receiving. Putin must have seen (assuming he, too, has had steroid infusions as part of his chemo) the miraculous way in which steroids serve to strengthen an individual’s rationality, keep him on an even keel, and prevent him from making rash and impulsive decisions.

    Plus, we’ve had two threads recently about von Neumann — but I ask you, what about that other great American intellect of the nuclear age, Stan Lee, and the copious data he has compiled over the decades about the countless benefits of radiation, and of being bitten by radioactive creatures? Why hasn’t anyone brought that up? Is this ragtag group of soldiers who have inhaled radioactive dirt particles perhaps the seeds of a future army of green-skinned supermen smash-smashing their way all across Ukraine? In short, I am worried we have yet again failed to grasp — in the way that only the fanboys can — the vast infinitude of possibilities in this “apparent” setback (as the puerile intellects of the MSM characterize it) that Putin’s far more advanced mind has already crunched out and assessed.

    when people try to change their sex like this, do they ever endeavor to change their sexual preference? As a new girl, will this guy chase guys, or girls? The news reports say he stays heterosexual.

    So here's your new question: why would the straight girls he's attracted to be interested in an ugly lesbian? Or, if he is going to become homosexual, why would other gay men be interested in an ugly lesbian?

    The conclusion is that he's now confined himself to the attraction of other weirdos and psychos.

    God made him a handome 6’1 man, and he said: “Nah, I’d rather be an ugly woman.”
     
    Meh. There are over 330 million people in the North American Economic Zone -- easy enough to find weirdos if you're looking for them.

    Rather than focusing entirely on the content of this heavily-promoted narrative, sometimes it's helpful to step outside of that particular aspect of hyperreality and ask why the major narrative promotion agencies are so focused on this particular individual, and on the broader campaign to promote transsexualism?

    This might be a clue:

    The shy senior economics major from Austin became one of the most dominant college athletes in the country and, as a result, the center of a national debate—a living, breathing, real-time Rorschach test for how society views those who challenge conventions.

    That's a sneaky one there. A deliberately inexact analogy*. What's a Rorschach test again? Oh yeah -- it's an abstract, semi-random pattern that doesn't actually represent anything in particular, but you're supposed to imagine what you think it looks like. As far as we can determine from the "news" media narratives focused on him, William "Lia" Thomas is definitely not an abstract pattern, but an actual, biological human. Implicit message: the external, directly observable reality in front of you doesn't matter; whether you think the "correct" thoughts (or blasphemous ones) about it does.

    "Narrative >> reality" -- a key message of the transsexualism craze. "Reality isn't really real -- only what we tell you is real, isreal."

    But there's another message intrinsic to the "Transsexualism is Great! And you MUST celebrate it!" campaign that's a little less obvious -- the "We've always been at war with Eastasia!" one:

    1. Narrative shift: William learns to reject his evil material masculine nature*, and gets in touch with his purely spiritual "feminine spiritual essence," thus "transitioning" into a "woman" via some magical/ metaphysical process governed entirely by an act of will. [Just read some gender theory/ queer theory stuff. Hormones, genital mutilation surgery, etc. are commonly utilized by those who decide to "identify" as a member of the opposite sex -- but it's the magic process of "identifying" that really matters.]

    2. Retcon:"Lia" was always "Lia" -- William never existed.

    3. It's a "crime" to mention that step 1 or step 2 ever happened. No, I'm not exaggerating.
    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=deadnaming+hate+crime&ia=web

    Seems like a pretty useful mode of thought to impose via heavily-promoted media/ "educational" indictrination: "Who ya gonna believe? The current narrative [which has always been in place], or your lyin' eyes?" Just believe the new narrative, and forget the old one.

    *See also Thomas throttled "her" competition -- the mental image created by that phrase is clearly the result of a deliberate troll. He understands how analogies work.

    **Obviously there are strong parallels with Kabbalah as well as gnosticism.

    Vladimir Putin is not a nice man. His judgment is sometimes off. I do not think this full-scale invasion of Ukraine was in the best interest of Russia.

    But when Putin himself believes that he is acting in the best interest of the Russian people, he will indeed act.

    David Goldman ("Spengler") has an important column up a couple days ago on The American Conservative explaining how Putin sees the situation in Eastern Europe.

    I strongly suggest you read it.

    This is not a game: thousands are dead, and, conceivably, millions or even billions can die.

    The Soviets had huge military bases in Cuba with thousands of people, we just didn't let them have nuclear missiles (made a secret deal to remove our missiles from Turkey in return). So the idea that Putin is not acting any differently than the US in Cuba is false.

    If Putin's complaint is that the US has missiles nearby in Poland, well once he erases Ukraine they are going to be right up against his border. How is that better? Even if Ukraine had joined NATO, there was no proposal to put American missiles in Ukraine.

    Defacto, Ukraine was a buffer state. The US wasn't going to lose face and declare it neutral, but NATO membership was going nowhere. But now the buffer is gone and Russian troops will rub right up against NATO.

    I suppose if you’ve always wanted to try anal or a threesome, a white woman is the way to go, but if a man is serious about marriage and starting a family he should choose an Asian or Hispanic woman.

    White people have an outgroup preference that will be their undoing. Perhaps a new hybrid race can be created that has more of a sense of self protection.

    The rich could give a damn about the environment. They scream that the working class must give up all of their luxuries and live in poverty to ‘save the planet’ – luxuries they the rich themselves will never surrender – but at the same time they constantly push to jam ever more people into the world, wiping out any gains in efficiency.

    Until recently, Canada had a relatively stable population of about 25 million. Even though they had a high standard of living, the environmental impact of Canada was – by my rough calculation – about 2 percent of that of India, a place where the standard of living is crushed to bare subsistence, lower than that of late medieval Europe! But with 1.2+ billion people on a third of the land mass of Canada, well, of course.

    Bottom line: with a moderate population and some care in the use of resources, a high standard of living is not bad for the environment. But if people are persuaded to breed like rodents, the land will be stripped bare, the rivers will run with filth, and the skies will choke with soot even if the average person is crushed to subsistence. But the rich will make a lot of money, so it’s all good.

    ‘Sustainability’ is a con designed to make the working class love their coming poverty.

    Your including the word "sustainability" triggered me there, TG. The tree-huggers love using that word, but one can't square that with other goals of the left, particularly the immigration invasion.

    To put it simply EVERY SINGLE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM, whether real, like trash, or made-up, like the (new term, get with it!) Climate Crisis™ is made worse if there are more humans around. Now, rich societies can mitigate it, say with recycling trash. However, if the population keeps rising, you'll be back to square one in short order.

    In our post "Toward Sustainable Stupidity, I related the whole story of trash and recycling and the hauling and burying of the former. I'll put an excerpt under the [MORE] tag:

    OK, let me get to the point here. You want sustainable? Even with 330,000,000 people in this country, quite a bit over optimal for my tastes, if it were held at that number, and with improvements by engineers, sure the cycle of refuse could be sustainable. However, due SOLELY to immigration, the population is NOT steady at all. Let's say we have gotten really good with this and recycle a full HALF of all household garbage. Whether you are worried there'll be no more room for landfills or not (it's not the case), then we've cut the problem in half. Depending on how good we get on with getting the stuff to truly go back to the earth (rot, or other "mitigation"), and re-use of the land taken by said landfills, it could get to where we would NEVER EVER have a problem - SUSTAINABILITY NOW! Nope, but once we've got TWICE the population, all that mental and physical effort has come to NIL!. It's as if we had the original population but never recycled.

    Every single environmental problem caused by man will be that much worse with an increase in population. That is blindingly obvious. Why won't the environmentalists ever talk about immigration or overpopulation anymore? Oh, yeah, that's right.

    Come to think of it, this is still expected of white males–and asians too. Who else?

This is very similar to how the early Christians acquired political power then proceeded to dismantle and destroy the ancient world and were as tyrannical and oppressive as the Roman Empire and in many respects were even worse.

    All evil empires of the world do their evil in the name of liberty and/or enlightenment, Carthage being a good past example, and then Venice. The American project was always totalitarian, in the sense that its civilization demands absolute conformity of being and personal conduct in tiny details, though it passes through various fashions of totalitarianism. One reason why this totalitarianism is not acknowledged is because its main constraints have always been exerted by supposedly private corporations and institutions, one last known instance being Silicon Valley's Big Tech companies. But even a more traditional utility such as Ma Bell or ITT used to be endowed with all authorizations to spy every single phone conversation as a private institution, as well as to refuse communication between any two clients it judged dangerous. The present-day woke movement is not so extraordinary in regard of past America history : it can be easily understood as the continuation, outside the religious framework proper (though it could all of a sudden structure itself as a new complete religion -- that could be a form of noachidism with Oriental yoga exercises and New Age concepts -- if they feel too much danger to be coming to them through Evangelism) of a certain New Englander puritan tradition that manifested during the Prohibition and at various earlier instances. Wokeness is horrible but no more so than former stages of the formation of the American mentality.

    For the Chinese- race matters most. Culture goes with the race.

    After Mongol Yuan dynasty was expelled in the 14th C, virtually all Caucasians who had come to China with the Mongols, were forced to intermarry with the Chinese women & to disappear racially & culturally as different races. Chinese are well aware of their numerical superiority & are, generally, not "one drop law" purists. Also, they know they will both racially and culturally assimilate not too distant aliens.

    It is different with Africans. The Chinese attitude is that these are very different races which could not be Sinified in any meaningful sense because they're too different. So, the rule is: no mixing with them, and various Sino-African mulattoes are relegated to the margins of their society as something absolutely alien- although perhaps useful as a tool in exploitation of Africa's riches.

    Also-Chinese did not intermarry in any significant numbers in Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, ...

    So, for the majority of the Chinese: race is as important as culture, and race/culture is a false dichotomy for the Chinese people- at the least for a vast majority of them, especially when they are not a scattered minority.

    Joe, U-VA has an honor code that, until recently, only had one penalty (aka "the single sanction"). They've recently added something called "informed retraction". The honor system is run by the students, and periodically the students vote on whether to keep it, to water it down, or whatever.

    A few years ago UVA Magazine had an article looking back at 99 years of honor system data. This section on demographics was interesting:


    African American students have been over-represented and whites under-represented in Honor enforcement, but the disparity between black and white has narrowed over the last 30 years. From 1987 to 1989, African Americans made up 9 percent of the student population but 42 percent of those sanctioned for Honor offenses. A couple decades later, from 2010 to 2016, they comprised about 6 percent of the population and 12 percent of those punished. In the past three years, their sanction rate dropped to 3.6 percent.

    Asian and Asian American students are the most over-represented race in the sanction data. In 2015, they constituted 10 percent of the student population but, from 2014 to 2016, 53 percent of students sanctioned.

    Hispanic students have few Honor troubles relative to their size of the student population. From 2012 to 2017 they represented 6 percent of students but drew only 3.6 percent of Honor penalties...

    ...The greatest disparity concerns UVA’s increasing numbers of international students, who accounted for 17 percent of the population from 2014 to 2016 but 55 percent of sanctions.


    My take is that the black violation rate has come down as "Black" majors have been added. They don't need to cheat to just write "I am oppressed" on everything. Now their sanction rate is about 1/3 of what you'd expect given their percentage of the student body (just in the past few years) - I'd guess a lot of that is professors and other students overlooking Honor offense by blacks rather than risk becoming the Racist Of The Month.

    Lastly, I'd assume the Asians over-represented by 5x in violations have a big overlap with the international students. Add to that they're likely in very difficult majors where a language barrier can make it even harder...

    This is pure 1000% concentrated Hindutva low IQ propaganda. Check out science journey channel on youtube where it is proven that European translation of Sanskrit was correct and matches the translations done by Indians brahmin scholars including Geeta Press. This is typical anti-British Hindutva ass fart propaganda based on gas and not truth,

    Governor General Macaulay in 1830s approached then Queen of England and proposed and granted a devastating plan, from which India has never recovered. He realized white man can never rule India for long time. According to that plan, the best and the brightest Indians (who were mostly Hindus) were brought to England at young age and educated in their premier institutions there.
     
    Again the ramblings of a low IQ Hinduvadi and typical Hindutva anti-British fake propaganda. Firstly Macaulay was not Governor General of India ever. Lord Macualay was an abolitionist Whig who fought to end slavery. Macaulay allowed modern English education in India but traditional education was allowed and even supported. Indeed Macaulay even said that via modern education, if Indians started asking for political rights, it would be England's most proudest moment. Hinduvadi low IQ fartings are even worse than low IQ Afrocentrist or Marxists lies and fart-propaganda, they just fart out anything from their asses. For Macaulay in 1833, the issue was between stagnation and progress, between the mentality of despotism and that of liberty; and he could not hesitate between them. England should bestow the most precious treasure of her heritage, the living conscious spirit of her civilization, upon India. Modern English Education. He was not indifferent to the possibility that this might lead India to demand political freedom. If it did, said Macaulay, that would be “the proudest day in English history.” Macaulay wanted liberty, not slavery. Brahmins are good at farting bullshit out of their asses all day and they kept on spreading these anti-British fartings 24/7 taken in by low IQ buffoons who never checked facts. Can you explain that if the British hated traditional Indian education so much, why did Governor of Bombay Jonathan Duncan start the Sanskrit College at Benares in 1791 to promote the study of Hindu laws and philosophy in Banaras. (In 1958, the Sanskrit College became a university and in 1974 the name was changed to Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.)

    Many politicians including but not limited to Nehru and Gandhi (Indira and Sonia Gandhi) and majority civil servants of India even today are Macaulians (
     
    Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Bal Gandhadhar Tilak etc... all of these patriots were all Macaulians too. All of them were Western educated. Indeed all anti-British revolutionaries were Western and even England educated Hindus (hardly any Muslims), so Macualay's supposed "plans" failed.

    From Chapter II of the book: View of the State of Society among the Hindoo Subjects of Great Britain, particularly with respect to Morals. by Charles Grant. 1790 AD
    “The generality however of those who have written concerning Hindostan, appear to have concurred in affirming what foreign residents there have as generally thought, nay, what the natives themselves freely acknowledge of each other, that they are a people exceedingly depraved.”
    ….snip….
    Now as these corruptions begin not in the practice of the courts of law, but have their origin in the character of the people, it is just to state them in illustration of that character; for although the legal reforms introduced by Lord Cornwallis [Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis of the American Revolution, later Governor General in India who brought many positive reforms] will purify, it may be hoped, the fountains of justice, yet the best administration of law will not eradicate the internal principles of depravity.

    Selfishness, in a word, unrestrained by principle, operates universally ; and money, the grand instrument of selfish gratifications, may be called the supreme idol of the Hindoos. Deprived for the most part of political power, and destitute of boldness of spirit, but formed for business, artful, frugal, and persevering, they are absorbed in schemes for the gratification of avarice.

    The tendency of that abandoned selfishness is to set ” every man’s hand against ever man,” either in projels, or in acts of open force. From violence however, fear interposes to restrain them. The people of the lower provinces in particular, with an exception of the military caste, are as dastardly as they are unprincipled. They seek their ends by mean artifices, low cunning, intrigue, falsehood, servility, and hypocritical obsequiousness. To superiors they appear full of reverence, of humble and willing submission, and readiness to do every thing that may be required of them; and as long as they discern something either to expect or to fear, they are wonderfully patient of slights, neglects, and injuries. But under all this apparent passiveness and meanness of temper, they are immovably persisting in their secret views. With inferiors, they indemnify themselves by an indulgence of the feelings which were controlled before; and towards dependents, especially towards those whom an official situation subjects to their authority, they carry themselves with the mean pride of low minds. In the inferior, and by far the most numerous class of the community, where each man is nearly on a level with his neighbour, the native character appears with less disguise. The passions have a freer range, and new consequences are seen to result from the absence of the primary virtues of society. Discord, hatred, abuse, slanders, injuries, complaints, and litigations, all the effects of selfishness unrestrained by principle, prevail to a surprising degree. They overspread the land, they come perpetually before all men in authority. The deliberate malice, the falsehood, the calumnies, and and the avowed enmity with which the people pursue each other, and sometimes from father to son, offer a very mortifying view of the human character.
    No stranger can sit down among them without being struck with this temper of malevolent contention and animosity, as a prominent feature in the character of the society. It is seen in every village, the inhabitants live among each other in a sort of repulsive state, nay it enters into almost every family. Seldom is there a household without its internal divisions, and lading enmities, most commonly too on the score of interest. The women partake of this spirit of discord. Held in slavish subjection by the men, they rife in furious passions against each other, which vent themselves in such loud, virulent, and indecent railings, as are hardly to be heard in any other part of the world.”

    Interestingly that was the exact opinion of the Honourable Mountstuart Elphinstone, Lieutenant-Governor of Bombay from 1819 to 1827. He may fairly be regarded as the founder of the system of state education in India. There is an Elphistone College in Mumbai even today, one of the most prestigious Government run college in that city.

    Mr Elphistone was of the opinion that Indians are actually a very good people but the brutality and mis-governance the people had to face before before British Empire was responsible for Indians becoming corrupt. Benevolent British Empire will make Indians a more honest people, he believed.

    As civil administrator in India, Sir John Strachey wrote in his book "India Its Administration And Progress" in 1903
    "Almost everything that the people of British India desire to meet their simple requirements is produced at home. It is not so much the general poverty of the people, as the peculiar and slowly changing character of the social and industrial conditions under which they live, that confines within narrow channels their demands for the productions of other countries.
    The principal articles of general consumption which, in the absence of fiscal or other impediments, they can often obtain from abroad more cheaply that centuries of disorder and oppression, the lessons of which are not soon forgotten, have led the people to invest their savings in what seems to them the safest form. Large quantities of gold and silver are thus constantly required for the purpose of hoarding. These hoards are kept for the most part in coin, but also in the shape of personal ornaments. It often surprises Englishmen to see the profusion of gold and silver bangles and other jewellery which which the women even of the humbler classes deck themselves on occasions of festivity. In the five years ending with 1902, the value of the net imports of gold and silver into India was about £37,500,000.' "

    Indians have this craze for Gold even today as pre British medieval rulers were so greedy and would loot out wealth of the farmers, that Gold in jewellery was considered safe investment. This is a habit which dies hard, Indians buy gold like crazy even today especially during Dhanteras festival of Diwali. it has become part of culture.

    But this kind of mentality (Elphinstone) by westerners in dangerous as it pushes the White Man's burden mentality and thus more propaganda by elites to push the West in unnecessary misadventures in the Third World.

    But we certainly don’t want to try to learn anything from Japan. Japan with its ultra-fatty meats. Japan with its consumption of seafoods. Japan with its love of cartiledge, livers, hearts, and innards. Japan with the lowest BMI among industrialized countries.

    By all means, let’s remain silent on what made America susceptible and put all our energy into enriching pharmaceutical companies more and more.

    Orwell2024 did fine statistical Covid Research and came to the following conclusion with regard to Europe:

    1) The vaccines seem to have not made much of a difference.
     
    2) It could well be, that diet has made a big difference

    https://orwell2024.substack.com/p/age-adjusted-all-cause-mortality?r=zp558&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
    Orwell204's bottom line is this: Vaccines did not make much of a difference. but diet  does!

    Orwell2024' conclusions were:

    La grande surprise, the main surprise was France. But also Switzerland.Expectation / hypothesis to find a negative correlation with lockdowns was challenged by data which told us a different story and surprised us with a much stronger apparent underlying cause: obesity. - See Joe Rogan's famous (but censored) 3-minute Covid-rant - turns out he could well have been quite right!

    2021: Neither a positive nor negative impact of the vaccine can be seen. At least it’s not of any relevant dominance on a yearly base level. Other causes dominate.

    Probably lockdown, or random seasonality as also lockdown hardliners like France and Spain are doing ok for now. Detailed time window analysis by age may find 2nd order some effects. Maybe we will see the male heart (post dose 2) problems for the 18-30 years cohort (in a time window analysis). And we should see some benefit in 70+. That are the 2 trails.

    In the 30-70 year cohort it likely impossible to see anything.

    Sweden is outperforming in 2021 (even all it’s neighbours), despite the Sweden denial in MSM.2020: The age adjusted mortality demonstrates the overreaction in the Covid-19 crises.

    The standard populations should be adapted to a more female friendly asymmetric sex population pyramid. In particular for the old ESP2013 population in the elderly bins above 50-60.

    WHO2015 is not suited for countries like Europe. Yet, the country ranking is robust, even with the use of such different standard populations as ESP2013 and WHO2015-2025.

    The observed excess mortality in Austria and Netherlands, is dominated by mortality in the elderly age bins. Those are 95 % vaccinated like in Sweden, Spain and France.

    The vaccine doesn’t reduce nor increase all cause mortality. It isn’t the underlying root cause.

    QR passports and the one dimensional panic driven C19 health focus has to stop.

    Aging populations in Europe and the upcoming baby boomer ICU and death wave: Records in absolute age unadjusted numbers every year for the next 20 years in Europe is unavoidable.

    This is normal and simply the result of the boomer group moving through the end of life age bins. In order to avoid a general panic every winter, mortality must be age adjusted or even better only analysed by age group and not aggregated into one total number mortality or mortality rate number.

    Do not panic based on a Simpson’s paradox. Scale up health infrastructure to face this wave of an aging population (and the resulting increasing need for ICU capacity as those get terminally or severely ill).“A baby boom obviously follows by an elderly boom at some point.” And this makes an ICU and death boom at the end.

    They aren't interested in you for your skin; they're interested in you because you empty your pockets for them. The attraction lies in the money, power and status that come from the last few centuries that the whites dominated the world through colonialism, but that is already waning. I give it another half a century or so, and this interest from Chinese women into white men will fully disappear together with the fall of western civilization. No one finds a man OD'ing in his tent on the side of the road attractive after all.

    Your perspective seems tailor-made to suit the broken ego of a white female, who is struggling to compete with Asian women for men’s attention.

    However, it isn’t true. Marriages between white men and Asian women have risen since 1980. And, Asian men in the West have out-earned white men for decades. So money isn’t a big deal at all.

    Asian women really do prefer white men, for reasons including their looks, like most women. However, the catch is that these intermarriages aren’t motivated by Asian female desire for white men. It’s the opposite. All races of men prefer Asian women, and it is this preference that drives the intermarriages.

    It has been demonstrated again and again that men tend to prefer women of East Asian and mixed-Asian appearance.

    The reason for this universal preference among men is biological. Asian women are the pinnacle of female beauty, whereas evolution has not cleaned up the latent “maleness” of white women.

    https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13506285.2018.1475437

    Marriages between White men and Asian women are over twice as frequent as those between White women and Asian men. Recent research has proposed that this imbalance may be explained by the finding that, on average, White men are perceived as more attractive than Asian men, and Asian women are perceived as more attractive than White women, possibly because Asian faces are perceived as more feminine than White faces. Here, we explore whether Asian faces are perceived as more feminine than White faces.

    Even white men who married white women don’t truly prefer them. That much is obvious to married white women, who seem to seem to pay a psychological toll from proximity to Asian females.

    According to Lundström there is much focus on whiteness in Singapore. Ads for skin whitening products are common, and whiteness is the ideal. But the ideal of beauty is not a white, blond western woman.

    “Western women were ranked below the Chinese in the racial hierarchy. The western whiteness is not as posh as the Singaporean, Chinese whiteness,” says Lundström.

    Swedish women in the US were very preoccupied with American men, whereas the Swedish women in Singapore were not the least interested in Asian men. They focused on their Swedish husbands. Asian women, on the other hand, represented a possible rival, since Swedish men found Asian women attractive.

    “The Swedish women in Singapore were almost desexualised. They felt less feminine,” says Lundström

    Given that Asian women continue to select for white men in the West, even when Asian men have earned more money and built their countries up to 1st world status, I think your prediction is highly improbable.

    Money is a proxy for power. But money by itself is hollow without power.

    Asian men may have "some" money, but they have ZERO power in the West. And only beginning to acquire power globally as nation-states.

    Women are hypergamists. They are firstly and foremost attracted to power. Power embodies influence, social status, and wealth.

    As an Asian woman, I can assure you that I don't prefer white men or their looks — at all. But thanks for telling me that men of all races apparently prefer women like us and that we are the pinnacle of beauty. 💁🏻‍♀️

    Given that Asian women continue to select for white men in the West, even when Asian men have earned more money and built their countries up to 1st world status
     
    Money is only one of the symbols of status and power, but not the end-all-be-all of the picture. A lot of Asian men in the west unfortunately act like submissive, neutered kittens. They have zero status, zero confidence, and zero power — and that's not attractive no matter how much they earn. Money means nothing when a man can't protect his woman. His income means nothing when he, due to his inferiority complex, keeps lowering his head in submission to other men that are clearly being aggressive to him and his entire race.

    This pattern is, however, starting to change in the east. Already, China is economically and geopolitically challenging (if not surpassing) the USA. White worship is in rapid decline in China, where especially the 90 and 00 generations have regained a new sense of appreciation for and confidence in their own culture. I estimate that China will still need another half century or so to also dominate over the west on a cultural level, but when that finally happens the status and power of Asian men will, along with their perceived attractiveness, also rise above that of white men in the eyes of women.

    As I said before:


    No one finds a man OD’ing in his tent on the side of the road attractive
     
    But with China's steady rise and the west in rapid decline, this will increasingly be the perception that Asian women have of the modern white men.

    And another thing:

    If we're going to discuss musical artists and their political views, we really need to talk about Eric Clapton. It's possible Steve or the VDare guys have discussed his long-ago treatise (haha, "treatise" to put it mildly) about race during one of his shows as a young man, along with voicing his support for Enoch Powell specifically on immigration. This was in the mid-1970's, mind you!

    Eric Clapton was way ahead on that issue of even Peter Brimelow (who I assume still lived in England then). Under pressure from the Commies, Eric Clapton folded to a great degree, while Peter Brimelow doesn't. Of course, Peter Brimelow can't play guitar as well as Eric Clapton, as far as I know, and make millions of dollars at it, so ...

    Eric Clapton is in the news again with his anti-Totalitarian PanicFest stance. VDare writer Carl Horowitz has a good article about it, which will be discussed on Peak Stupidity soon - "Is This A Sovereign Nation / Or Just A Police State?" Eric Clapton, COVID, And Immigration.
