Hollywood is filled with bitter nerds that resent their midwest cousin for not just having a decent life but enjoying it.
I once heard Hollywood described this way: “You know the 1-2 vain good-looking people in your high school class who were obsessed with looking good and being ‘popular’? Hollywood is a city populated entirely by these people.”
Yep.
This is also another example, in my personal opinion, of a film that is better than the book.
That’s why the ending to LA Confidential is a happy one. People survive Hollywood and escape it.
Saw “LA Confidential” again recently. Wasn’t nearly as good as when I saw it in the 90s:
– Kim Basinger way too old for the part
– Russell Crowe’s character being a white-knight captain save-a-ho was a little cringey
– Poor schwartzes wuz framed, they dindu nuffin trope (“To Kill a Mockingbird” did it better)
Still enjoyable though. Depiction of a Hollywood degenerate and rotten to the core seems accurate. Kevin Spacey was good (does saying that make me a bad man?)

Spielberg said later that ET really was about Jews. ET was the talented, misunderstood, persecuted Jew minority in a sea of goyim. The central message of the film was that Jews feared but deep down love the goyim and the goyim should tolerate and celebrate them. Good schtick.

Aussies are losing their country to Chinese and Indians. And discovering the endless joys of African enrichment with the Sudanese in Melbourne.
Had dinner with an Aussie couple recently. Both had parents immigrate from Ireland in the 60s with passage free of charge on a steamer. When I expressed surprised at the “free passage” the wife apologized for a “terrible policy called ‘White Australia.’” My wife is non-White, so maybe she felt she needed to apologize I dunno.
There’s nothing wrong with a society enacting laws to preserve its racial composition. Ask the Chinese, Japanese, Israelis or, well, anyone non-White.
My Fellow Whites led the charge to dismantle the sensible White Australia policy because rayciss. It’s almost as if my fellow ethnics tirelessly seek to subvert and destroy White areas wherever they are by importing non-Whites. Weird.
So what if she meant racially? Is there something wrong with that?
Don’t cuck.
So, does anyone really think that those 39% mexicans — who, in all likelihood, are among the lower income groups in the State — are really going to pay taxes to provide reparations for blacks?
Lol no.
Reparations to Schwartzes will be paid by Whites like you.
Btw everyone knows what would happen to Schwartzes if each got $200k from the gubmint — lots of bling, weaves, spinners and other pointless consumption. Blacks all would be worse off in a few years.
Rinse and repeat.
A nine-member Reparations Task Force has spent months traveling across California to learn about the generational effects of racist policies and actions.

I suspect what is happening here is that increasing Brown + African population % is bringing down the IQ means.
It’s just weighted average math. A 10 year old could do it.
My anecdotal observations agree. I know prolly 7 young White ppl 20s-30s, 1 kid between them. 1 couple married 9 years, zero kids.
The pattern is for the girls to “date” and party for years, then get dumped for a girl younger and hotter. Not one knows how to cook or be feminine outside of possessing a vagina.

Supposedly he’s passing the torch to a woman.
Just watched “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” for the first time. In the book the kids are sent to the countryside to get out of 1940 London. The book opens with the kids on a train out of London.
The film producers had to put in gratuitous shots of German pilots exulting over direct hits. Bomb noises waking up the kids would have done, or even just opening with kids on the train and establishing backstory they were fleeing the blitz.
But no — my fellow co-ethnics are obsessed with showing Nazis and Germans to be the inhuman baddies. Never miss a chance to use control of Hollywood to take digs at them.
Another example in “Remains of the Day.” The film version makes a big deal of Nazis planning to screw Lord Darlington and also how bad Darlington is for not taking in Jewish refugees. The book lacks the first example, the second example no more than a footnote in the novel.
My co-ethnics gonna co-ethnic. Once you see it, you see it everywhere.
A number of Sailer readers on Twitter are smitten with her. She seems to have discovered a novel way for a woman to appear more attractive: write about HBD.

There is a whole industry of women grifters who take money from nerdy and/or conservative men by playing to their fantasies [see sub-genre of unmarried bleach blonde women in bikinis posing with semi-automatic weapons and/or posting tradwoman/HBD content — Lauren Southern comes to mind].
Hence, “cute” lol. Hey if it floats your boat have at it.
Yes. Family there. Schwartzes commit all the gun and violent crime and drug dealing in Burlington.
Head stomping, shootings, drugs, car and bike theft. Recently a Schwartze walked through a Burlington neighborhood throwing large rocks through windows of house after house, including bedrooms of sleeping children. He had a record a mile long but still walking the streets. Cops in Burlington afraid to arrest them, for career-and-life-protecting reasons.
My Fellow White mayor does nothing.
Vermont Whites are in total denial, won’t even mention the problem.

And almost as if IQ differences explain >80% of prosperity differences between nations.

You think it means “no discrimination on basis of race, including Whites.” It’s so cute.
“Anti-racism” means “anti-White.” Every anti-racist point boils down to “Whites bad. NonWhites good.”

Clean, efficient, come on time?"I of course agreed that this was so."And do you know why that is?" he asked. I told him I did not."No blacks or Mexicans," he informed me.It is just as well non-white people cannot be racist, otherwise I would almost think, well,.....

The quip reminds me of a joke — 2 Jews go in a room to talk politics, 3 political parties come out.

East Asians are confused why whites are letting inferior foreigners take over their countries.
Here’s another quote for ya, from legendary Singapore statesman Lee Kuan Yew:
“Multiculturalism will destroy America. Do you make the Hispanics Anglo-Saxons in culture or do they make you more Latin American in culture?”***
Which culture — European/White or Hispanic — do you suppose Mr Lee viewed more favorably and considered key to America’s success?
The bulk of immigrants to America for the last 30 years at least come from sh*thole countries. As they increase in number and Whites slip into permanent minority status, do you think America will change for the worse or better?
Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
Lee was — and is — right.

No. I don’t get any inferiority complex vibe from East Asians vs Europeans/Whites. They do admire and copy aspects of European/White culture though.
Other aspects of European/White culture repel them, such as neglect/disrespect of elderly and allowing mentally ill winos to shoot up and defecate on public streets.
This last point was shot home to me a few years ago during a family trip to Seattle. We were a block off Pike’s Place Market when my son asked me “Dad, why does it smell like pee-pee here?” Homeless winos and druggies everywhere. Never see/smell this in tourist area of East Asian city. Unthinkable.
Your question is beside the point.
I’ll bite, though. Asians/Chinese have moved en masse to White countries because they voted with their feet for sanitation, indoor plumbing, rule of law and higher living standards.
Mass migration has slowed as Asian countries like Korea have caught up. Don’t see much Korean immigration these days.
You don’t see Europeans/Whites moving en masse to Asian countries either. Asians would never allow it. They protect their nations, and I admire them for it.
I can’t count the number of American-born Asians I’ve met who claim to be “American” when it suits them or “Chinese/whatever” when it suits them. American Chinese get very angry (and blame Whites lol) when Chinese parents refuse to have their kids learn English from them, yet they also want to be considered “Chinese.” It’s a conundrum.
Chinese would never in a million years consider me or my kids Chinese even if born in China and speak fluent Chinese with Chinese passports. Because race.
I used to drink the multicultural kool-aid. It was living in Asia that soured me on the viability of multiracial countries with no racial supermajority.

I’ll repeat — as a long time expat in Asia, Asians have told me several times that they don’t consider non-Whites to be “real Americans.” Asians I know have visited LA, NYC and returned disappointed, saying “I didn’t see any Americans, only browns, blacks and other Asians.”
Their whole concept of nationality is entwined with, inseparable from race. I realized over time this is the natural human view throughout all history. Only while nations have deluded themselves (recently) that race is separate from nationality.
Asian Asian parents prefer White European non-native-English-speakers to teach English to their children instead of American-born Asians.
Here’s Lee Kwan Yew laughing saying that a nation that imports fruit-pickers “won’t get very far.”

Charlie Rose about has a heart attack at that non-PC comment.
It’s been my experience that East Asians — Chinese, Koreans and Japanese — are among the most “rayciss” people in the world. They do not like blacks or browns, consider them lesser. They admire European/White culture. It’s no accident every tiger mom pushes her kid into European classical instruments.
Just watch the hit Korean drama “Penthouse” about high class wealthy families competing for social prestige in Seoul. A European-style opera singer character is presented as the creme de la creme of high culture, in Korea. High class Korean characters dress in 1700s European period costumes and dance the waltz.
Korean dramas never show Koreans imitating any African, Indian or brown culture of any kind. Well, there was one character in Penthouse who adopted the trappings of black gangsta culture, but he was a heel. (Western press excoriated Penthouse for “cultural appropriation of blackness but not of European-ness, weird).
Again, I’m just the messenger. Your mileage may vary.
Btw you’re subcon aren’t you lol
No.
To East Asians, race *is* nationality. Have you ever met a Japanese who is full-blooded African? The very idea is laughable.
East Asians do not consider Chinese-Americans as “real” Americans. They are Chinese – how could they ever be “Americans”?
Chinese parents prefer non-native-speaker Europeans teach English to their kids over American-born Chinese with perfect American English.
I’ve had Asians tell me that blacks and Asians in America aren’t “real Americans.”
To them, a “real American” is white race. Just like “Japanese” means Japanese race.
Race defines their whole concept of nationality. I once had a Chinese laugh in my face when I said I’d get a Chinese passport and become Chinese. It’s unthinkable to them, absurd.

David Simon’s whole claim to fame is realistic journalism and TV shows about black crime, but he has spent that career trying to have it both ways, profiting from little admissions about black crime while he tries to walk back the very thing that made him famous. He owes everything to a police ride-along when he wrote for the Sun and he was a supporter of the recent anti-police madness.
Is it realistic, or is it just “gritty?” A realistic portrayal of these people would depict very stupid people with high time preference doing outrageously violent things for purely venal reasons of money/status/power/respect. A “gritty” portrayal of these people would show them to have complex motivations and inner monologues, and as the victims of circumstance and oppression but who are compelled to turn to extreme violence (the violence supplying the “grit”) – viz, projecting a certain narrative with political overtones onto people and events which are not actually the products of conditions which would fit such a narrative. As I understand it, Simon made one of his main black criminal protagonists a homosexual, which is a tell to me that the point was to launder nihilistic urban black crime through a socio-political false narrative to make it exciting and interesting to an audience of Bugpeople. Bugpeople are clever sillies, so the true description “these are just very bad, selfish, antisocial people who like to hurt other people and get high status stuff and the solution is to lock them all up and throw away the key” is an allergen to them. (Like the black riots beginning in 2012-ish were laundered through a narrative of oppression and despair rather than “I like free booze and a flat screen so I took them”).
Only in the last few years have I gained an appreciation for the Left’s ability to control the narrative and by extension control reality (at least for most people who consume mainstream media, which is enough).
There is abundant scientific evidence of racial IQ and temperament differences, not to mention abundant evidence available to anyone with eyes and ears.
I am convinced they can continue the doublethink indefinitely regardless of any facts. This is about Power and Control.
Inner Party Member O’Brien comes to mind:
O’Brien silenced him by a movement of his hand. ‘We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation — anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of Nature. We make the laws of Nature.’
And
The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others ; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were- cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?’
Lol!

Yes, HA, it would indeed be fine with me — you see, I do not really give a damn one way or the other about the borders of this little fake country you call “Ukraine.”
I do think the guarantee of self-determination of peoples in Article 1 of the UN Charter is a good idea: I do not see why it should not apply to the Donbass.
And I think it is sad for human beings to die pointlessly in pursuit of the imperial games of the US Deep State, which is what is happening now in the Ukraine.
But, by and large, I really just do not give a damn.
I do give a damn about the government that claims to be acting in my name, the US Deep State, dragging my country into involvement with the shithole puppet regime in the Ukraine.
I am spending my time refuting your constant lies because I think the truth does matter and because I want the government of my country to stop destroying human lives.
But besides that, no, my friend, all I want for the Ukraine is an end to the killing.

They might be if they lose their country, but Ukraine the state might well end up with more territory than it started with. One interpretation of Putin's recent statement that he did not begin the war with the aim of making Ukraine cease to exist is he now does have that as an objective. He has left it very late. Putin really made a bad mistake in not--firstest with the mostest--going for Kiev in 2014.
"The real losers of this war are the Ukrainians.”
Since 2014 when they lost Crimea and some of the Donbass, Ukraine wanted to recover its lost territories, but had no way of doing it. The situation similar to how after 1871, France was bereft, having lost Alsace and Lorraine to Germans; the return those provinces could be obtained if France could get Russia and Britain as allies in a war with Germany. Deep down, Ukraine (or put it another way Deep State Ukraine), wanted this war at this time, while assisted by the allies Ukraine now has. The Trump election and Hunter Biden-arms imbroglios were a gift from the gods to Ukraine. Everything they needed was in place. Zelensky's close adviser Oleksiy Arestovych predicted everything about this war and he said it was only going to be the first one.
Responsibility for conditions leading to Ukraine war rest squarely with USA.
Ice cream machines are not complex. A motor, mixing parts, cooling mechanism.
The tricky thing about them is proper operation requires daily disassembly, cleaning and re-assembly. By “disaasembly” I mean the mixing parts must be removed, cleaned, reassembled and reinstalled. The parts and container must be sanitized with a special solution, then rinsed thoroughly. Have to mix powder and water in proper ratio to get solution with right concentration.
The point is it’s not rocket engineering, but it is a mildly complex process to learn and do right. It was our least favorite closing job.
If you are lazy and don’t do the job properly the parts won’t be santitized and bacteria will grow. If don’t rinse sanitizer thoroughly that’s another problem. Both make the ice cream taste bad, may be a health hazard.
My guess is diverse McDonalds staff don’t want to bother and/or are unable to clean the machines properly every day. Easier to say “machine’s broken.”
Separately, you raise another problem which is planned breakage. Could be a part of the “ice cream machine broken” problem, but from my experience with the machines I suspect laziness and/or incompetence a much larger factor.
Broken elevators are the broken ice cream machines of the public transportation world.
In other words, a litmus test for workforce competence and creeping third-worldization of our society.
An aside – As a youth I had a summer job that required staff to break down, clean and sanitize and reassemble an ice cream machine. We all disliked it. It’s a highly technical process requiring careful steps and proper sequence.
I understand why broken machines are a leading indicator of 3rd world workforces and crumbling competence.

Indeed. Mrs C and I just made a trip back to my ancestral village in Iowa, and flew in and out of O'Hare, coming from Hong Kong. We couldn't get direct flights (blame it on HK's now-crumbling but still insane covid regime), so on the way over we flew via Tokyo Narita, and on the way back through Seoul Incheon. The former is a nice airport, after some very helpful renovations, but Incheon is like Planet FutureWorld compared to O'Hare's cramped, shabby Terminal 5. On our way over the the USA, going through immigration in O'Hare Terminal 5 was pathetic: long, long queues, with no separate provisions for US citizens. Everybody goes in one big, jumbled, diverse line -- all happy together! No passport scanning kiosks were open, no fingerprint or facial recognition tech in operation to speed things along -- just good old-fashioned lining up for 40 minutes to deal eventually with a bad-tempered immigration agent doing the passport scanning old-school. Even the UK is now better than the USA in this aspect; Daughter C is in university in the UK, and reported that when she arrived at Heathrow last month, she literally did not have to stop walking as she passed through immigration, because as a US passport holder she qualified for fast tracking via facial recognition. On our way home, our flight from O'Hare was scheduled to leave just after noon. We had arrived early, in case our HK destination with its covid documentation delayed us. It didn't, so we had plenty of time after TSA. We looked around Terminal 5 -- this was at 10:00 am, on a busy day -- and there was exactly one food outlet open: Dunkin' Donuts. We saw that a couple of other places were scheduled to open at 11:00, but they didn't. Mrs C saw a guy cooking food at one of them, so went over to enquire. It turned out they would have opened on time, except their cashier, who was supposed to start work at 11:00 for opening, was nowhere to be found. By the time said worker appeared, we had to go to our gate. Third world service would likely have been better in this context. It is embarassing. I watch the east Asians in US airports sometimes. They're usually not the most visually demonstrative people in such settings, but you can be sure they're not failing to notice how run-down and inadequate much of the USA's service sector (and broader infrastructure) has become.Replies: @Moses, @PiltdownMan

Yep.
It’s not just the physical plant — old airports, filthy bathrooms, shabby environments— it’s also the coarse, indifferent and sometimes downright rude service.
My East Asian wife was appalled at some of our service experiences whilst traveling in the USA. I was embarrassed as an American. How low our bar has fallen. I told her it wasn’t like this before.
Fruits of diversity and mass 3rd world immigration I guess.
One night we stayed in the hotel at the historic TWA terminal at JFK. Dripping with nostalgia of a bygone, more elegant — and dare I say more White — age.
It doesn’t help that US airports largely staffed by third worlders paid a pittance.

Anybody who has ridden the metro system in DC would shudder at the thought of a high-speed rail system run by similar people.
Lol yes. I rode Metro daily in the 90s. They couldn’t keep elevators running then either. Shudder to imagine it now.
For those of you who haven’t experienced the pleasure of riding Metro imagine a Black-run subway neteork managed as a Black patronage system. Efficiency and cleanliness are not a priority to say the least.

I pulled out a covered drink on a Metro platform about 20 years ago, something quite legal in my city.

My position would be that all members of a nation should have a reasonable expectation of a share of the national wealth, technology, and natural resources regardless of their IQ, IF THE NATION CAN AFFORD IT.

When a black student says, “I don’t want my presence on campus attributed to Affirmative Action,” it should be read as, “I want (and deserve, and demand) to benefit from Affirmative Action but I also want to forbid you from thinking that I am in any way inferior, and crminalize you and punish you if you do.”
This was the intended result of all the Civil Rights legislation. It was not to redress historical grievances or level the playing field. It was to enthrone black entitlement as a proposition that must be held “come what may,” no matter what injustice and devastation it inflicts upon the rest of society.
As I have formally noted, black entitlement plays the same role in America’s moral architecture as the speed of light plays in Special Relativity. Can mass be believed? Can energy be believed? Are space and time themselves reliable? No, throw them all out the window! The speed of light is the new constant, and it must remain the same come what may! The rest of the universe can bend and warp around it, but this you are not allowed to alter.
As to what entitles the speed of light to this sacrosanct position, the theory does not exactly explain. It is an assertion we are expected to accept without reservation. The fact that it’s absurd seems to make no difference. Likewise, in the progressive Special Theory of Equality, the speed of darkness is a universal invariant, resulting in black holes of dysfunction and singularities of stupidity.
Wow.
...in the progressive Special Theory of Equality, the speed of darkness is a universal invariant, resulting in black holes of dysfunction and singularities of stupidity...
I like that. I'd put it just a bit differently: black behavioral and intellectual equality is like the speed of light.

‘If you teemed it ‘anti-white discrimination’ how many would have been in favour?’
This is one of the Left’s more irritating cons: winning the argument by loading the language.
‘Gender affirming’ surgery. It is, of course, just the opposite. The victim’s gender is not being ‘affirmed,’ it’s being changed.
‘The homeless’ rather than ‘vagrants.’ The implication, of course, is that their problem is simply the lack of a place to live. Give them that place, and they’ll be fine. If only…
‘Undocumented immigrants.’ Like the immigrants just forgot their green card or something. They’re not ‘undocumented,’ they’re illegal. While we’re on the subject, another game is ‘migrants’ rather than immigrants. They’re storks or something, and they’ll fly back the other way in the Fall.
It’s cute. They win the argument as soon as you accept their terms.
AA isn’t wrong because it’s unconstitutional; it’s wrong (for me) because it hurts whites. Of course, for blacks, AA is right because it helps their people.

Separation is abuse. There were many abuses in the ancien regime in the South.
Tikkun olam to that, brother. Everyone knows that all non-White races are entitled to live next to Whites (and White wimminz).
Put another way, are you one of these Nice White People or not?
It’s striking how much of a secret it is in modern America that affirmative action is mathematically necessary to achieve the levels of diversity that Nice White People think are morally mandatory.
That was one focus group of 12 “diverse” people
Just use “non-White” instead of “diverse.”
Everyone knows that “diverse” is just fancy code for “non-White.”
“More diversity” = “fewer White people, preferably none.”
“Not diverse” = too many White people.
Etc etc.
Language matters.
Pollsters seldom if ever ask this question, so I can’t prove that most Americans are ignorant of the fact that African Americans are not intelligent enough on average to be terribly competitive in quantitative terms in cognitively elite institutions and careers, but it sure seems like few Americans are cognizant of the cognitive realities.
I suspect what non-Whites really want is preferences with gaslighting so everyone believes they got there purely on merit and it’s an unspeakable crime to suspect they didn’t.
NB: “Minority” is an outdated, old-fashioned term that makes it sound like non-Whites just a tiny marginalized number. It’s false. Whites just 40% of CA, 40% of NYC, 41% of DC. Whites be a “minority” now. Use “non-Whites”. It’s more accurate, reflects reality more clearly.

The Russians? No. They just lost a big bargaining chip.

Started homeschooling last year. Let me tell you — repetition, drills and practice (and sometimes games) are essential especially during gradeschool years. Grammar, handwriting, spelling, simple addition/subtraction 1-10 and multiplication tables cannot be learned properly any other way.
We visited several private schools in our area before homeschooling. One in particular struck us as batsh*t crazy — they were all about having students “figure things out for themselves.” For example, the children would figure our 8×7=56 by sorting beads or somesuch into 8 groups of 7 or 7 groups of 8, then counting. It was tedious and dumb.
Certainly children need a visual demonstration on what multiplication is (i.e. X groups of Y per group also equals Y groups of X per group) but this school took everything way too far for children to “figure out.”
When I was a boy I had an old-school teacher who made us write multiplication tables over and over until we memorized them. There were regular test times where you could hear a pin drop. I was scared to death of that teacher, but oh boy did I learn my tables.
I dunno. How much do you know about Native American history, culture and heroes? There’s your answer.
I think you’re missing Spud’s point and substituting your own.
None of the “AI” programs out there are trying to model human neurons AFAIK.
They’re just using massive data sets and fast computation to identity patterns and respond. What they are doing is *nothing* like what a human neurons do (which no one really understands anyway).
I’ve been watching Google Translate improve for years. It’s WAY better due to mass processing power, even with relative pronoun Asian languages where context is key. Google Translate doesn’t “understand” language. It simply has analyzed insane amounts of human-created text and noticed what words tend to appear in what sequence and proximity and ways.
Furthermore, computer language — “thought” if you will — is binary, strings of ones and zeros. Whatever the human brain is doing, it’s almost certainly not simply processing binary information. My guess is neuron information is much richer than “one” or “zero”, almost certainly analog and not digital.
Sure, computers can model things. But is a computer model of water running downhill the same thing as water running downhill?
You might enjoy John Searle’s “The Chinese Room” thought experiment. He makes a compelling case.
The term “AI” is over-used among computer nerds. These “intelligences” are simply the result of the increase raw computational power of computers. Nothing like intelligence.

Meir Kahane used to comment that the things that keep “Judaism”, or at least a pale form of it, going among most American Jews are nostalgia (bagels, etc.) and anti-Semitism, real or perceived. So American Jews *love* it when attention is paid to the Holocaust. (Also loving it are the Woke, who, as it is frequently said, love themselves some dead Jews, but are less than thrilled about the living, identified kind.) That’s how we get the rather bizarre situation of a government-funded Holocaust *museum* on the *National Mall*. (Why?)
Want to hear the reaction of some Jews whose Judaism has a bit more going for it? Many years back I was watching the Oscars with fellow students at Yeshiva University. (The place currently under a concerted Woke attack.) The Simon Wiesenthal Center of LA (you don’t even want to know what that place really is) had made yet another Holocaust movie which, of course, won an Oscar. (As Spike Lee once said, you see you’re up a Holocaust movie, you know you’re not winning.) The center of the Center, big black yarmulke on his head, got up to accept and gave some over-the-top speech, and all of us Yeshiva students looked at each other and went, “Yuck.”
So, yeah, Ken Burns is taking a turn. But here’s the irony: The whole thing, from the perspective of truth, is not only not a positive and something of a negative, it’s actually *counterproductive.* How so? Well, I’ll tell you: Jews have always had this feeling about American inaction during the Holocaust. But it’s not about America per se, or about ordinary Americans, or anything like that. After all, it was ordinary Americans, those doing the fighting, that *liberated* the camps. No, Jews- the ones who know- have always been bitter toward the guy at the top, liberal hero FDR, and some State Department types.
Well, guess who both the Holocaust Museum and Burns, in dealing with this issue, do a full-court press to defend? Yup, FDR. A US-government funded institution is not going to criticize the government, and a leftist like Burns is not going to attack FDR. So the Jews got their documentary, and it’s worth less than nothing. Instead, they get what they (liberal Jews and Burns alike) really want, an attack on ordinary Americans, then and (bizarrely) not, on Trump, on DeSantis. Isn’t that lovely?
Take it from me, most actual Jews out there would be perfectly happy if the American government and popular culture just shut up about the Holocaust.

2. Ukraine doesn’t have the votes from France, Germany or Turkey
Sure. And “votes” never change, do they? Are you really so naive?
3. Ukraine hasn’t started the qualification process
Irrelevant. Since when does “has not started” mean “will never happen?” Again, a silly and unserious point.
4. NATO has stated that even if Ukraine applied they would be denied before taking a vote because they have a contended border
Ah ok you got me — if “NATO said so” I guess that settles it. It will never happen because pols never lie or change their minds.
[Checks watch] Oh dear, we’re reaching neocon levels of silliness and naïveté that shouldn’t even be possible. Take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning, Kafka.
Which points from 1-4 do you deny and do you need sources?
Irrelevant. You may keep your precious “sources” to yourself.
What is wrong with you people? Calling others who have different conclusions names like “Fed! Fed!” and “Dictator Supporters” is childish. What’s next, “Poo-poo head”? You sound like my small children.
Listen, this is not difficult to get.
Ukraine in Russia’s backyard, shares a long border and history and Russian minority. It’s not hard to understand that Russia does not want Ukraine in the West’s orbit or even a whiff of a threat that Ukraine might join NATO or be influenced by NATO or the West.
Americans would never allow Canada or Mexico to fall into Russian or Chinese orbit either de facto or de jure. Whether Canada “has the votes” to join a Russian defense pact is irrelevant. Only fools and dead men depend on votes or politicians or “trust.”
The world runs on real politik.
It seems logical and natural to me that Russia find undesirable Ukraine falling into Western orbit. The junior high name callers here will jeer “Putin Lover!” It makes them look like fools.
Furthermore, the USA has no compelling interest in Ukraine. What does it matter if Ukraine falls into the Russian sphere? Ukraine *was* in the Russian sphere and part of the USSR for 50 years! It didn’t affect the lives of Americans one bit, not one iota.
I encourage all the neocon tin pot soliders here to go over there and fight, or at least sacrifice some sons’ or daughters’ limbs.
Your cavalier disregard for the blood and limbs and safety of Americans in service of your spittle-flecked Putin Derangement Syndrome and American Imperial Empire disgusts me.

If one day you notice that your friend is maybe drinking a bit too much, your reaction should be to ask him to stop, not to see if you can outdrink him. If he can have 6 beers and still drive, then surely it’s ok for me to have 8 or 10
Unintelligible gobbledygook Chewbacca defense. Are you trying to tell us you’re drunk?
You’re trying way too hard to get USA to risk nuke war for a poor corrupt Eastern European backwater. Usually you’re smarter than that.
Oh boy Jack, you’ve got PDS (Putin Derangement Syndrome). Or maybe you just hate Russia. I get it, our people have lots of reasons to hate Russia.
But you are spouting pure gobbletygook here.
Those who insist that we should just stand idly by while Putin crushes Ukraine fall into two main camps:
1. The outright Russian sympathizers – they think that Putin is the last bulwark against Globohomo America which they openly admit that they hate. The upholder of White Christian values despite his Asiatic Army and his colorful personal life. These guys are pretty easy to dismiss, even laugh at when they spout Baghdad Bob level Russian propaganda about “orderly withdrawals”.
2. The more insidious kind who insist that they are just Yankee Doodle A-OK Americans who don’t want to get American dragged into these little borders skirmishes among furreners.
The ones that run are VC. The ones that don’t run are well-trained VC.
You missed a 3rd camp — those of us who DGAF about Ukraine.
Ukraine was part of the USSR for 50 years. Eastern Europe behind the Iron Curtain. Didn’t change the price of a six-pack in Des Moines. Life was pretty good.
This kind of Lindberghian isolationism hasn’t been viable for more than a century (ironically for reasons having to do with Lindbergh himself – if you can fly to Paris from NY then things can fly in the other direction too). You may not be interested in Putin, but Putin is interested in you.
The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!
If you don’t condemn the Russkies you’re a dirty anti-semite like Teutonic Lindbergh. Isolationism just doesn’t work in this century! Did you hear that? It just doesn’t work [end of argument].
But that’s not what Putin (and Xi) have in mind. As far as they are concerned, the world has to have a top dog and they want to knock the US off the top dog perch so that they can occupy it instead. They are not going to be content with a rudderless world where we each tend to our own little patch.
Jack generally you’re a mensch, but here you’re just meshuggeneh. You sound like a bloodthirsty raving lunatic warmonger Cossack. This is *exactly* the kind of thinking that got America into Vietnam and Iraq. Both were disasters in blood and treasure and pain.
America does not own Ukraine, has no treaty with Ukraine, no compelling national interest in Ukraine. Ukraine is a small corrupt poor Eastern European backwater. You’re dreykop here.
I don’t care if Russia takes Ukraine, Poland, the Baltics half or all of Germany. Germany is a big boy, able to defend itself. And if they don’t have the will to defend themselves then USA couldn’t help them anyway.
I’m old enough to remember when Russia had everything locked down behind the Iron Curtain. As I recall life was pretty good in the USA. It just doesn’t matter to us.
In 1905, Japan defeated Russia.
A meta-question I have is what’s the best-case scenario as Ukraine War hawks here see it. ..
Does Russia tuck its tail between its legs and crawl away, ceding Crimea and leaving Russians in the Donbas at the mercy of Ukrainian reprisals?
We’ve had our quarrels Dave, but I’m in total agreement with you here.
Russia cannot allow NATO to park on its long border with Ukraine.
I’m also with another commenter here (Almost Missouri?) asking “Why is Ukraine worth risking nuke war with Russia? A backwards, corrupt, poor Eastern European country that USA has no security alliance with?”
Risk NYC, DC and LA getting nuked…for Ukraine? It doesn’t make any sense.
Now that I’m on it, extending NATO to the Baltics and Poland didn’t make any sense either. Those members are all liability for the USA, zero asset (whereas for them its all asset, zero liability). They don’t add a bit to American security, just increase risk of war sending American boys off to die to defend…Latvia? IDGAF about Latvia, sorry.
But we live in the West so we still have access to the truth
LOL. LMAO!
Rich, oh my sides! We live in the West so have total access to truth from our media and govts! Truths like “Take the vax and you won’t get or spread Covid” or “Saddam has WMD” or “The Ghost of Kiev”?
Stop it, stop! You’re going to make me pee!
/sarcasm
Jack with that one comment you have shorn yourself of credibility. You sound like a goyische kopf spouting such rubbish.
