Eno's Neologism: "Prop-Agenda"

From an interview with music producer Brian Eno a couple of decades ago:
I’ve been thinking about the word “propaganda.” I came up with another word a few years ago, which is “prop-agenda.” Propaganda is easy to detect and defend against because we recognize it. Prop-agenda is what our governments do now. They put something else on the agenda, misdirecting you away from what people would prefer you didn’t think about.
Obama’s second term was flooded with prop-agenda, such as the government-media huzzah over “rape on campus” that eventually overstepped with the Haven Monahan UVA hoax.
It would be useful if historians would dig up how these things are orchestrated.

Remember right after Biden was inaugurated we got ‘UFO’s are real!‘ from the government?
It didn’t really fly — but the intention was clear.
most historians are in on it.
almost every wonky adult is in on it. participating in the leftist takeover of everything is THE career path for the mediocre wonk class now.
conversely, the actually productive white collar people and blue collar people with real jobs who do stuff are mostly too busy to engage this topic or get involved with this stuff, so it falls to the moderately productive noticer people like the posters here to even do any analytic work on the subject.
Eno’s neologism is good, but I’m more interested in what Mr. Sailer thinks about the thinking in the consulting firm he linked us to.

Prop-agenda = Prep a gonad– Dong appear!
Beware the Enotic prop-agenda

“Negroes are numinous!”
Dongs, though, are luminous.
Soon, one will be ’round your hacienda.
I call it “Squirrelism”- as in the Government sending out a coordinated team to say, “Look a squirrel!!!!!!” whenever the people start noticing the uncomfortable facts.
Always have been. Ever notice that those ranked lists of presidents are always published upside-down? “May you live in interesting times” was meant as a curse.

My thoughts exactly.
No, but the effort of Arthur Schlesinger Jr and his co-conspirators to sell the idea that Calvin Coolidge was about 3d from the bottom among American presidents looks exceptionally silly today.

If men are the superior defenders of a nation (as I believe), then it is the fault of men and not women when the country fails. Yes, our nation is set up to make it difficult for men to lead, but this doesn't change where the responsibility lies.

Which is why much (if not most) cultural and political propaganda is now embedded in entertainment, where no one really thinks to look for it, and it may then work its wiles unencumbered.
BTW, not long after 9/11, or during the early stages of the Iraq War, Eno wrote a spectacular opinion piece in London’s Independent where he lamented the insanity which seemed to have consumed the American body politic. It really enhanced my respect for the man.
Nowadays it is identity politics and the culture wars in order to keep real trade and immigration reform off the table.
This is in the Guardian, not the Independent, but it gives the same flavor as the one I mentioned, and which I saved somewhere in hard copy. Smart guy.

The only person I ever knew who admired Eno’s music (this was in 1980) was a chemist in Orange County who was pretty good at wood-working.
When I first heard Coldplay, thought it was U2. Low and behold, Eno produces them too. Looks very much like Eno likes being in the studio and making money, but realized he wasn't cut out to be a superstar on the road for the rest of his days. Worked out for U2 too. They own huge swaths of Dublin real estate along the Liffey.Replies: @Reg Cæsar
Honestly. You don't need to. Suffice it to say Eno's influence on popular music is impossible to quantify.
Apparently you see a name you associate with the left/postmodernism and feel the need to signal your disdain for it. Who cares about the details?

60 minutes used to find a subject in a public setting who was refusing to be interviewed and ask them questions with the camera rolling. Ambush journalism. Made for great TV. Serious conservative journalists should do that. Find mainstream media figures in restaurants and ask them where they get their talking points from. Ask why no one is reporting news on the Paul Pelosi case. Do they really think Jan 6 was an insurrection? Is 5 years in prison an appropriate sentence for planning or even acting to disrupt a congressional proceeding?

Yes, that is the demographic that is destroying the country. It’s getting a lot of help from another demographic, same sex, same race, but older. They are all so proud to stand in solidarity with all the victims of all the isms.
With little more than lots of self-righteous nagging and invariably supporting the wrong candidates, policies and laws, they have critically, perhaps fatally, weakened Western Civilization. No, I’m not exaggerating.

Gotta hand it to those women – they’re being paid 27% less than men in similar positions and they just laugh it off.
So Eno’s coining a clever-sounding synonym for misdirection, or Mao’s dog’s peppers, or the Overton window? We already have words for that. After the lockdown, everyone worth saving knows about Mao’s dog’s peppers.
The boomer lack of familiarity with propaganda (“propaganda” = Triumph of the Will or Battleship Potëmkin and not, say, Twitter with its fed staff) would be less sad if deceitful Soviet-style propaganda operations were not legal in the United States thanks to Barack Obama. So they were trained to find only one type and they’re still blind. But they love eating those peppers though.

Power outages from station attacks are looking like glowie ops or ecoterrorists. We are asked to believe that right-wing extremists want rural and suburban white property owners in deep red states (or red areas) to be without power, while nothing happens to NYC, DC, Baltimore or Chicago. There’s just not enough angry conservative gun owners near Austin or Boulder to do this. Also, none of the threats are “real” — the bastard move would be to take out the heat in winter. Ah, but you say, isn’t it winter, and wasn’t the second attack far up north? Not really. Florida and the Carolinas do not freeze — and neither does Oregon or Washington. Chicago freezes, New York freezes. Montana and the Dakotas freeze. All these power attacks were funny. There’s further funniness. Apparently the attackers were not content to snipe, they actually used heavy equipment to destroy the gate and do lots of gratuitous nonsense far beyond the budget of a guerrilla. They also were careful to not collect brass.
They probably put fingerprints everywhere.
Point is, Eno was already on it twenty years ago, well before anyone heard of the 'Overton window'.
Even Hilton Head has an average of 17 freezes per year. (Average January low is 39.)

Don't need to. They wouldn't be what Steve calls "nice white ladies" if they didn't reach out and include some of their dusky sisters. They only see color when they want to discuss victimhood and the evil of white men. As to why the others are willing to join a club that would have them, not every WoC aspires to be an ABW.
These females are not really hard core seekers of world destruction (i.e. the capitalistic West) in the name of social justice (gibs to non-whites and other marginalized groups) . They haven't really thought that far ahead; indeed they haven't really thought. Their driving force is a pernicious blend of their flock mentality and their maternal instinct unmoored from the private sphere.
When nice, white women want to lift up oppressed people, it's really just mothering in overdrive. They're smother mothers. They want to help needy people so they themselves feel needed rather than enabling the needy to become truly independent.. That's what makes them so determined, and also ensures that they will invariably get it wrong. Because what works, more or less, in a family dynamic is disastrous when translated into public policy. Even better for the younger, more selfish ones, they don't have to become mothers. They can just endlessly patronize non-whites and the marginalized and condemn white men, all in a very motherly way-- without ever having to change a diaper or worry about postpartum weight. Win/win!
This is very generalized but overall, pretty accurate. It's all so personal for them. And the personal is so political. And so here we are. Thanks again, guys!Replies: @JR Ewing, @AnotherDad

Wikipedia provides a convenient period-organized list of historians throughout history.
I checked under “Born in the 20th C”, but – strangely – there is no entry for Irving, David.

Every time I see one, I send the same e-mail to a group of Wikipedia email addresses from my favourite StartMail alias - GetFuckedYouCunts - before I add the relevant page element to my custom "Get Fucked" list in uBlock Origin.
I know these seldom get read, but sometimes they do - and I've actually had a couple of responses.
Brian Eno’s new word includes the soft power. And as such it hints at something that is old ideed – and has been noticed by many a historian: The Slogan that difines classical Rome: Panem & Circenses – – – A Livelihood & Entertainment (including the news show as part of the political entertainement /Goehte wrote about that stuff in Faust, not least in exposing the attractiveness of news about foreign wars as a welcome spice to brush up our socialising on holiday evenings).

What ever happened to hair dos? Or even washing it from time to time. The hair, I mean.
That’s my impression too. Drag Queen Story Hour for example seems like a tailor made provocation designed to trigger and disorientate the Right while distracting from other business. It blends unease with homosexuality with fears of child sexual exploitation (shades of Q anon) and uses up enormous amounts of energy on the Right. But say if Drag Queen Story Hour was banned from your local library. Would that help the Right in the wider battle for political power? Maybe it would, but I’m not so sure. Winning limited victories in the ‘culture war’ now seems like the allowable outlet for right-wing frustration while massive immigration keeps on coming and talk of economic nationalism has virtually disappeared.
My favorite example is how after 9/11 George W. Bush distracted us from talking about border security by instead leading us into a pointless, expensive war in Iraq.
That distraction cost us not only the insane expense of the Iraq War itself, but the financial crisis of 2008, as well. It’s the distraction that secured this nation’s doom.
I mean, where's the upward mobility? What's a boy gotta do?
Eno wrote the melodic hook for Talking Heads’ biggest hit “Once in a Lifetime.”

Agree. But why stop at Iraq? The first bias of media is the choice of what not to discuss. Afghanistan, yes. Mexico, no. Russian collusion, yes. Immigration control, no. Dreamers, yes.

Never happen. Professors of history are part of the conspiracy.
In the run-up to the 1964 election, the democrats created a massive conspiracy to re-elect Jack Kennedy. democrat “historian” Richard Hofstadter wrote The Paranoid Style in American Politics; a madison avenue ad company came up with the little girl and flower A-Bomb ad; and Hollywood came up with not one, not two, but three brilliant anti-anti-Communist pictures meant to persuade the public that a president Barry Goldwater would cause WWIII: Sidney Lumet and Communist Walter Bernstein’s Fail Safe; John Frankenheimer and Rod Serling’s Seven Days in May; and Stanley Kubrick and Terry Southern’s Dr. Strangelove. (Peter George worked on both Fail Safe and Strangelove’s scripts, and then committed suicide.)
The journolist media conspiracy that acted as a palace guard for the John Doe calling himself “Barack Obama” in 2008.
The Hillary conspiracy in 2016, which miraculously failed!
The Palace Guard to protect The Big Steal 2020-present, which did not fail.
You won’t see any historians exposing any of these conspiracies.

We've been saying for years that the Moynihan Report (which he quotes) was used as a blueprint. The Democrats are not a political party, but a criminal gang, and a seriously evil one. The National Socialists are banned in Germany on those grounds. We should look into doing the same here.
At the very least, dun them for reparations for centuries of atrocities. Why should the rest of us cover the cost of their crimes?

Kylie, you generally crank out good comments, but this one is exceptional. It's the best short, clear explanation of the modern "woman problem" that I have seen on this blog.
Women's virtues are virtues--in a properly functioning society. In a normal nation women's compliance--strong desire to follow social norms and gain social approval--is healthy because the culture encourages socially/nationally positive behavior. And in its proper role in the family, women's nurturing instinct is not just meritorious but essential--and beautiful.
But we have a society that's been culturally/politically hijacked by hostiles. And outside their proper role in reinforcing family life/bonds--unhitched or worse turned to politics--women's virtues become vices, absolutely toxic.
"Misplaced nurturing" is the best short expression I've come up with. But your comment is really the best short clear take I've seen. Well done.Replies: @Achmed E. Newman, @Eddie the swarthy rat cellar

During Obama’s reign global-warming-ism exploded with journals such as Science devoting whole issues to it. Occam’s Razor tells us their “research” was paid for with ARRA money.
It predates Obama’s reign but as far back as 2007 there were warnings in the Skeptical Enquirer against global-warming skepticism:

Saw a documentary abotu U2 when I was still a fan. Showed that their process, if you could call it that, was to hash around some ideas with Eno and his staff, and then go the south of France or Ibiza and get drunk for a month while Eno and his staff ….wrote the songs? And then came back and ran through Eno’s instructions. Left me with the impression while U2 may be competent musicians, they weren’t really the authors of their work, closer to a boy band than The Who or Led Zeppelin.
When I first heard Coldplay, thought it was U2. Low and behold, Eno produces them too. Looks very much like Eno likes being in the studio and making money, but realized he wasn’t cut out to be a superstar on the road for the rest of his days. Worked out for U2 too.

I know he wasn’t the first one to say it, but Derb’s “against women’s suffrage” piece is one of the better ones at explaining this dynamic.
You could use the same logic for letting negroes vote: it’s not that we think they are necessarily underserving of the franchise, it’s that they don’t take it seriously enough and are incapable of seeing the bigger picture. It’s all tribalism and corruption.
I live in the Houston area and we are seeing in real time the disintegration of both the city and Harris County, as we’ve reached a critical mass of white flight to the surrounding counties and the blacks now control all of city and county government. Local negro politics were always racial and crazy, but they were restricted to certain areas and there were still just enough whites in charge to maintain civilization and keep the negroes under control.
We now have rampant bid-rigging and failing infrastructure and its obvious what needs to be done and the voters* – the ones who can change things – just don’t care. As long as it’s a BLACK! running things, that’s all that matters and we’re seeing the same backwards slide as cities like Detroit and Los Angeles and Philadelphia and all the rest of them… just like Zimbabwe, frankly.
*Texas isn’t as far down the mail-in ballot rabbit hole, yet, so most elections are still real elections for the most part.

With regards to the OT:
I read Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death for the first time about 20 years ago and it has informed my worldview ever since. A lot of the “prop-agenda” being discussed here was predicted and lamented in that book, which was written in 1984. I’ve seen Eno mention that book before in some of his other pieces.
That being said, while frivolous uses of the internet are a continuation of Postman’s “television has ruined public discourse” thesis, the growth and accessibility of message boards and blogs has probably made a (very) small dent on the pervasiveness of infotainment compared to the 80’s and 90’s, if only because it’s easier to find and consume alternative sources of information now.
The sad fact is that there is still a very large portion of the population that take network news at face value.
Saw this yesterday on another site and it probably fits in here, too:
Well, you don’t know me probably, but I found myself just the other day thinking fondly of Ambient 1: Music for Airports. Anyway, he was also in Roxy Music, which ain’t nothing, and he’s produced a lot of really, really great records for other musicians. Like it or not, Brian Eno’s work is not to be sniffed at.
In regard to the other 'Prop-agenda' topic, LBJ was faced with similar problems that Carter and now Biden are facing (created). Inflation was a biggie. Citizens kept talking about 'the increasing price of eggs' something that smacked them in the face constantly, and the cost of meat. Egg prices rose in 1966 and Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman told him that not much could be done, Johnson had the Surgeon General issue alerts as to the hazards of cholesterol in eggs. Hence, "3 eggs a week!" slogan from the FDA and an economic problem was turned into a health problem. Also, New Zealand lamb was purchased to feed the U.S. military, changing supply-and-demand.
Who?

Why don’t they out the companies that are doing this? They out every minor racial incident no matter how obscure. If, across the board, companies are paying women less we need to find out who these companies are.
The survivable/enjoyable end of NPR’s programming is the music, and their music review program (which is more to the survivable region) worships Eno. When he is mentioned a dedicated bell rings. Eno is one of those people who has worked with nearly everybody at one time or another, and is much more important as a producer than as a solo artist. But “one of those people” might not work because, while the underappreciated behind the scenes people are a category, Eno’s producing might be uniquely widely distributed.
Didn’t mean to agree, while it might be more noise than signal I think keeping your kids away from trannies (or retaining the absolute right to do so) is not noise.
“Professional” historian is a contradiction in terms…all the good ones were amateurs…

Power outages from station attacks are looking like glowie ops or ecoterrorists. We are asked to believe that right-wing extremists want rural and suburban white property owners in deep red states (or red areas) to be without power, while nothing happens to NYC, DC, Baltimore or Chicago. There's just not enough angry conservative gun owners near Austin or Boulder to do this. Also, none of the threats are "real" -- the bastard move would be to take out the heat in winter. Ah, but you say, isn't it winter, and wasn't the second attack far up north? Not really. Florida and the Carolinas do not freeze -- and neither does Oregon or Washington. Chicago freezes, New York freezes. Montana and the Dakotas freeze. All these power attacks were funny. There's further funniness.

So Eno’s coining a clever-sounding synonym for misdirection, or Mao’s dog’s peppers, or the Overton window? We already have words for that. After the lockdown, everyone worth saving knows about Mao’s dog’s peppers.
Point is, Eno was already on it twenty years ago, well before anyone heard of the ‘Overton window’.
OT: is the Bout-for-Griner trade the platonic idyllic illustration of the moral twistedness and evil of our ruling class? Letting a mass murderer go free in exchange for … a Thrice Holy One, queer/black/female. In a twisted way, Putin is admirable for knowing how to manipulate the woke ruling class for his own ends.
Nah. That would be a failure in your male programming to spread your seed.
There’s a smattering of noticeably ugly gals and no obvious “wow, she’s cute!” girls, which gives the pic a quick overall unattractive vibe. But realistically, it’s mostly a group of pretty average looking younger women.

Don't need to. They wouldn't be what Steve calls "nice white ladies" if they didn't reach out and include some of their dusky sisters. They only see color when they want to discuss victimhood and the evil of white men. As to why the others are willing to join a club that would have them, not every WoC aspires to be an ABW.
These females are not really hard core seekers of world destruction (i.e. the capitalistic West) in the name of social justice (gibs to non-whites and other marginalized groups) . They haven't really thought that far ahead; indeed they haven't really thought. Their driving force is a pernicious blend of their flock mentality and their maternal instinct unmoored from the private sphere.
When nice, white women want to lift up oppressed people, it's really just mothering in overdrive. They're smother mothers. They want to help needy people so they themselves feel needed rather than enabling the needy to become truly independent.. That's what makes them so determined, and also ensures that they will invariably get it wrong. Because what works, more or less, in a family dynamic is disastrous when translated into public policy. Even better for the younger, more selfish ones, they don't have to become mothers. They can just endlessly patronize non-whites and the marginalized and condemn white men, all in a very motherly way-- without ever having to change a diaper or worry about postpartum weight. Win/win!

“Gold box” comment, Kylie.
Kylie, you generally crank out good comments, but this one is exceptional. It’s the best short, clear explanation of the modern “woman problem” that I have seen on this blog.
Women’s virtues are virtues–in a properly functioning society. In a normal nation women’s compliance–strong desire to follow social norms and gain social approval–is healthy because the culture encourages socially/nationally positive behavior. And in its proper role in the family, women’s nurturing instinct is not just meritorious but essential–and beautiful.
But we have a society that’s been culturally/politically hijacked by hostiles. And outside their proper role in reinforcing family life/bonds–unhitched or worse turned to politics–women’s virtues become vices, absolutely toxic.
“Misplaced nurturing” is the best short expression I’ve come up with. But your comment is really the best short clear take I’ve seen. Well done.

Do you think it’s going too far to suggest that the Covid pandemic was orchestrated to prevent Trump’s re-election? I don’t.
Without the lockdowns we never have 900 riots over the summer and without the mail-in voting Biden loses a close election. Recall that when the gentle Giant Michael Brown was killed by the police the result was a single riot in Missouri, not followed by thousands of protests because people had jobs and schools to attend. Unlike in 2020 when young people had no other social outlets available except protesting. Thus we had thousands of protests across the nation because this was the only available social gathering available to most Americans since the churches, clubs , restaurants , bars ...etc were all closed. The resulting civil unrest was mostly due to the lockdowns.
The left was especially excited to roll out election "safety measures" based on that pretense, which still haven't been rolled back.

Some of the history will include Twitter revelations, of necessity. Those can’t stay buried forever.
Do your part, forward the MarcoPolo file and other items to your local journalist and editors, with a cc to the history profs, Congressional reps, Senators and Board Members at media companies. Ask them if they have committed to being on the wrong side of history.
Someone will break the silence.
Yes, I think that’s going too far. I don’t think the pandemic itself was orchestrated, Ben. What was orchestrated very well was the PanicFest on behalf of the Covid-19, and most likely in part to prevent Trump’s re-election. The other part was for getting Americans used to Totalitarianism.
It would be useful if historians would dig up how these things are orchestrated.
It would be very challenging to orchestrate much of anything if the national media were not extensions of the DNC press office. We would benefit from an understanding of how that came to be.
See Michelle Malkin’s recent retirement statement. As late as 1992, when she started out in journalism, there was actual reporting being done (as opposed to ‘information ops’). The social composition of the corps of reporters and editors at paper she worked for at that time was radically different than is the case today.
I dunno, I recall being concerned over a course of years under both D and R regimes that nobody was opposing media consolidation on antitrust grounds at the very least. Law schools taught antitrust as recently as the eighties.
And then there was the very visible circumstance of National Review being sold and turning fake conservative. And recall The Drudge Report?
The old socialists were being replaced behind everyone’s back in the ‘90s while everyone pretended they were still a threat. The new socialists were taking over the schools but the attitude of the R establishment was to scoff at the threat as that gang of imbeciles always does.

But then "journalism" became a profession and "journalists" went to the same liberal arts colleges as DNC operatives and other members of the liberal establishment.

Every action that is a (possible) right wing action and which makes the right wing look bad gets denounced as a false flag attack here before the ink is even dry on the headline.
Now of course, the Left does something similar – the Carolina attack was somehow assumed to be a right wing attack and tied to an LGBT show that happened to be going on at the same time, with zero evidence that there was any relationship at all. A LOT of things were going on at that hour. Maybe there was a church service going on somewhere too – a temporal relationship is extremely weak sauce.
But all that calling “false flag” with zero evidence does is create an echo chamber of stupidity. How about everyone shut up and wait for the investigation before denouncing right wingers and glowies and ecoterrorists based on nothing but jumping to conclusions. It only makes you look stupid later when your premature conclusions turn out to be completely wrong.
If I had to guess right now who did it, I would guess “disgruntled employee” who is neither a left wing nor a right wing terrorist nor a glowie. But really it’s way too soon to accuse anyone. Of course if the cops spend all their efforts pursuing supposed right wingers, then they may never catch the actual perp(s).
Usually if you are a terrorist you want attention for your cause so you attack some media capital. No one has ever heard of Pinehurst, NC except for the people who live there so my guess is that this is something that relates to a local grievance and they weren’t thinking about the weather at all. This time of year in NC it goes down to 40F at night so you won’t freeze to death but you won’t be comfortable either.
This could be the first known case of anti-golf-course architecture terrorism.

To a great extent, yes. The worst President in history, and obviously so, was Abraham Lincoln, the perennial First Place winner in every poll. They still seem to give Washington props, but I suspect he will fade. Probably the second worst President, FDR, is routinely very high up as well. Past favorite, the worthless Woodrow Wilson, is dropping because racism, the new most important factor.
The worthless piece of garbage Lyndon Johnson also tends to rank high, because black people. And any list that doesn’t have Andrew Jackson in the Top 3 is worthless.

I dunno. I’ve a female friend who is very smart but simply bends over backwards to rationalize things she doesn’t want to see. She thinks Epstein was an sex abuser who just happened to have a lot of one to two degrees of separation from spies, Israeli spies in particular, and therefore the extreme consistency of his activities and associates with an honeypot operation is subjected to lots of denial as an less probable explanation than the pervert explanation.
Where do you fall in the Epstein probability scale between spy/abuser and simple abuser?
women are not paid 27% less for the same work in the same positions. In pharmacy, the gap is statistically irrelevant along with much of healthcare. The difference for men is that more men will work longer hours in jobs that working long hours pays more (think law) or men work in dangerous jobs in bad environments (think petroleum engineer).
I have a hypothesis that for some jobs, if things were perfectly fair, you'd find that men are paid more for the same job. Why? Because in some jobs -- specifically math-oriented ones -- there are a higher percentage of men who are highly qualified.
Imagine that you hired only people 6' or taller, and you had different ranks for different heights. So, people 6'0"-6'3" are entry level, 6'3"-6'5" are grade 2, and so on.
Because of the bell curve, not only would there be more men at grade 2 and above, the average man in the entry level position would be taller than the average women in the entry level position. Thus, men would be paid more at every job level.

In any case, Trump fell for Fauxi’s Warp Speed con. And didn’t prevent the lockdowns. Trump is not as smart as he thinks he is and he likes to surround himself with yesmen or traitors. He was genuine, I’ll give you that.
The reaction to the pandemic was certainly orchestrated to prevent Trump from getting re-elected. The first step was to destroy the economy and create civil unrest by shuttering the Universities, schools, churches, small businesses, and all recreational and social activities…even the parks and beaches were closed. The mask mandates further promoted fear and unsocial behaviors to disrupt normal social interactions and create civil unrest. Ending in-person voting in many states ensured massive corruption to ensure a Democratic victory.
Without the lockdowns we never have 900 riots over the summer and without the mail-in voting Biden loses a close election. Recall that when the gentle Giant Michael Brown was killed by the police the result was a single riot in Missouri, not followed by thousands of protests because people had jobs and schools to attend. Unlike in 2020 when young people had no other social outlets available except protesting. Thus we had thousands of protests across the nation because this was the only available social gathering available to most Americans since the churches, clubs , restaurants , bars …etc were all closed. The resulting civil unrest was mostly due to the lockdowns.

Steve,
My take is different.
“Propaganda” is another area where we White European Conservative Americans tend to really, really suck. We tend to suck at a lot of things:
Foreign language skills
Partner dancing skills or just being sexy to women
fighting and jumping
There hasn’t been an undisputed White American Heavy weight boxing champion since Rocky Marciano and he was Italian American.
In contrast White British, White European boxers have dominated the middle and heavier weight divisions these last 25 years.
Back to poliitical and cultural propaganda.
We suck
The last political consultant, political manager that was any good at political propaganda was Lee Atwater that got George HW Bush elected president by destroying Lib Dem candidate MA Governor Michael Dukakis for being soft on Black crime, letting convicted murderer Willie Horton free on an unsupervised weekend pass where Willie Horton proceded to do a home invasion and raped a (White) Woman.
When pressed about doing this rather stupid thing, governor Dukakis never admitted he did anything wrong, instead he wanted to switch the subject to no fault auto insurance.
Propaganda is about presenting your political, cultural message in ways that reach the hearts and minds of specific people though means like well like music, images, videos, poetry, street posters.
Our side always tries to win the argument by trying to get “our people” to read long boring books.
Propaganda is both an art and a science. Like soccer and basketball that are funamentals that need to be learned and then improvisation around them.
We need to study the best propaganda of others including:
Yes – Communists, Socialists, Islamists, socialist nationalists.
I would be honored to teach others the basics of good propaganda.
I recommend the books “Faces of the Enemy” by Sam Keen
But, be aware American Whtie Conservatives have had ~ 100 years of really bad propaganda, of always losing, trying to push disliked things like Economic Conservatism, belt tightening, tax cutting or disliked corporations and just presenting boring candidates with bad optics, no music and always bad propaganda.
If we don’t get better real soon at propaganda our people will suffer the same fate as Europeans in Santo Domingo/Haiti, Algeria, Rhodesia…. Constantinople,… Baltimore, Philly etc.

We already have more than enough knowledge that elites do this. How many cases of rectal cancer do you need to see to know what you are looking at?
Our problem is that we need a Republic that can secure the rights and prosperity of a productive middle class, which in turn depends on some minimal competency of the majority of voters to form reasonably informed opinions.

It seems to me that Epstein was more geared to getting girls for himself than he was for getting them for with his friends (though he did that too). Someone who is in business as drug dealer doesn’t get high on his own supply. If Mossad wanted someone to run a honeypot operation they would have gotten someone gay like the KGB recruited Stephen Ward to lure Profumo.
“Levin had never heard of the man, Jeffrey Epstein, which was odd. After working for Wexner for seven years, Levin knew virtually every player on Wall Street (a few months earlier, Levin says, he met with arbitrageur Ivan Boesky). Levin’s skepticism was confirmed as soon as he arrived at Epstein’s Madison Avenue office. There were no visible signs of a trading operation; just Epstein sitting behind a desk that didn’t even have a computer. “Epstein was trying to explain a currency trade he wanted to do. I have an MBA from Ohio State, and I didn’t understand a word the man said,” Levin recalled. Levin went back to Columbus and reported that Epstein was a fraud. “I told Les, ‘Stay away from him,’ ”

At one time reporter was a working class occupation. Reporters were hard bitten cynical guys without any attachment to either major party (although some of them might have been Communists back in the day). They belong to the party of Skepticism – “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.” They assumed that all politicians were lying to them unless proven otherwise.
But then “journalism” became a profession and “journalists” went to the same liberal arts colleges as DNC operatives and other members of the liberal establishment.

What a completely laughable non-argument. There have never in history been pimps who did not use their own girls because a girl is not the same thing as a bump of coke.
Woody Allen did a great scene on misdirection. He is in a bookstore and wishes to buy a copy of Playboy. Hr tells the fellow at the cash register….”I’ll take a copy of Foreign Affairs, and Commentary, and Monthly Poetry Journal, and oh yeah, why not, also a copy of Playboy.”. (from memory.. I can’t remember the actual names of the scholarly misdirection magazines). Magicians use misdirection. And it’s not just human nature — animals use distraction of all kinds. Human nature, animal nature, it seems to be in the wiring. I guess it has survival value.

That’s not true. A lot of bordellos were run as strictly businesses, and by madames, not pimps.
Also, the dose makes the poison – if the girls spend 90% their time with you and 10% turning tricks, you are not much of a pimp. This is how a lot of the Pakistani abusers in the UK worked. They weren’t really professional pimps. They would befriend a lower class white teen and now and then they would share her with their friends, maybe as a friendly gesture, maybe to raise a little extra cash on the side. Maybe over time as they grew bored with the girl, now and then became the rule rather than the exception.
Everything I have seen indicates that Epstein first and foremost was recruiting these girls to satisfy his own wishes. If he was doing favors for Mossad (and TBH, there’s no real proof of this, just a lot of hand waving and inference and “don’t be naive of course he was”) on the side this was incidental and not the main driver of the whole operation.
When the MSM finally started covering Epstein, they tried to make it about Trump through his Labor Secretary Acosta who had been the U.S. Attorney over the "sweetheart" plea deal. What the MSM didn't say was the Palm Beach DA, who should have tried it in state court, refused to prosecute. This forced the Palm Beach Police to go to the FBI and U.S. Attorney, were the case was harder to make.
Bill Clinton had been closer to Epstein than Donald Trump. The funny thing is the story would not have broke and Epstein would not have been charged if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016.
Do you think the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who would have been a Clinton loyalist, would have filed charges if the Clintons were in the White House?

Jackson cleared out the tribes who stood in the way of settlement of properties that had been tied up in legal disputes arising from the Yazoo Land Scandal (starting 1789) which mostly preceded the cotton boom. Settlers were initially involved in all forms of agricultural production. Cotton accelerated settlement. Settlers outnumbered slaves. https://www.legendsofamerica.com/yazoo-land-scandal/
“The Tennessee River Valley, with its fertile soil and the Tennessee River providing transportation to the New Orleans market, quickly grew to one of the wealthiest cotton regions of the old South. Originally settled by small farmers, Madison County quickly grew into a plantation society.23 By 1816, it was the most populous county in the state, with 10,000 white settlers, and 4,200 slaves noted in the census.24”

#1 The settlement by whites (and therefore the displacement of the Indians) of the South outside the original 13 colonies was inevitable. There is no alternate history where the Cherokees stay and remain the majority.
#2 Given the political and economic realities of the time, wherever white Southerners settled they were going to bring the slave system with them. Either there was going to be slavery throughout the South or no slavery at all.
When you put #1 and #2 together, whether Jackson sent the Cherokees onto the Trail of Tears or not had no influence on the ultimate outcome. Viewed by Martians, the entire Columbian experiment was a exercise in getting rid of the Indians who had come over from Siberia thousand of years ago and replacing them with Africans, with whites present only for a short time in between. In some places the replacement was only partial and in other places (parts of the Caribbean) it was 100%.

If men are the superior defenders of a nation (as I believe), then it is the fault of men and not women when the country fails. Yes, our nation is set up to make it difficult for men to lead, but this doesn’t change where the responsibility lies.
> women are not paid 27% less for the same work in the same positions. The difference for men is that more men will work longer hours
I have a hypothesis that for some jobs, if things were perfectly fair, you’d find that men are paid more for the same job. Why? Because in some jobs — specifically math-oriented ones — there are a higher percentage of men who are highly qualified.
Imagine that you hired only people 6′ or taller, and you had different ranks for different heights. So, people 6’0″-6’3″ are entry level, 6’3″-6’5″ are grade 2, and so on.
Because of the bell curve, not only would there be more men at grade 2 and above, the average man in the entry level position would be taller than the average women in the entry level position. Thus, men would be paid more at every job level.

As far as I’m aware, journalists were not hourly employees in the era of H.L. Mencken, Dorothy Kilgallan, or when Michelle Malkin was hired. Mencken completed high school (atypical in his cohort). Kilgallan had some tertiary schooling (atypical in her cohort). Walter Cronkite, William L. Shirer, David Brinkley, Edward R. Murrow, Dave Garroway, Mike Wallace, William Manchester, Richard Strout, Joseph Alsop, and Murray Kempton all had some tertiary schooling in the pre-war era, though most did not have a degree. These were quite prominent journalists. Presumably, the locals had a run of schooling closer to the median. Recall that in the 1920s, most youths between 14 and 18 were not enrolled in high school.
I’m not 100% sure the “whole thing” was orchestrated or planned, but I think very early on the threat was exaggerated and the reaction in the west was hijacked for that reason. I’m 100% certain of that.

I’ve seen many people say this, but I haven’t been able to find empirical support for it. I also think that US government and media have been employing the “prop agenda” for many decades now, going back to the mid-twentieth century at least.
In Manufacturing Consent (published in 1988), Chomsky made a similar point to Eno’s: that propaganda in the US was not overt but rather took the form of a highly choreographed “discourse” in which certain viewpoints were emphasized and others suppressed.
So when exactly were reporters a bunch of hard-bitten, cynical guys telling it like they saw it? The 1920s and 30s? I’m just not sure that era ever existed, though there have always been some reporters around who do match that description…
Chomsky and Herman were cheesed that no one outside of Eurotrash university campuses takes them terribly seriously, so concocted an 'explanation' for that.
And conservative publications and the Alt Right doesn’t engage in this behavior?

I followed the Epstein Affair closely. He used the girls for his own pleasure, giving each $200 a massage, $200 more if they brought another girl. Some names have been thrown out but no firm evidence of Epstein “giving girls” to his more famous acquaintances has emerged.
When the MSM finally started covering Epstein, they tried to make it about Trump through his Labor Secretary Acosta who had been the U.S. Attorney over the “sweetheart” plea deal. What the MSM didn’t say was the Palm Beach DA, who should have tried it in state court, refused to prosecute. This forced the Palm Beach Police to go to the FBI and U.S. Attorney, were the case was harder to make.
Bill Clinton had been closer to Epstein than Donald Trump. The funny thing is the story would not have broke and Epstein would not have been charged if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016.
Do you think the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who would have been a Clinton loyalist, would have filed charges if the Clintons were in the White House?
You know, it should be easy to browse any source or aggregator--MSN, NYT, WSJ, LA Times, Yahoo, The Economist, Marginal Revolution (a 100% reliable barometer of elite thought)--and find all those articles advancing the narrative that the Ukraine is full of Nazis who need to be cleansed.

Putin’s “thoughts” are- if he is sincere – these:
Russia is neither “white” nor non-white. He doesn’t think in these categories. For instance, he’s constantly drumming against Western imperialism, which he thinks began with the Age of Exploration.
His chief devil is not very well defined, but it seems to be a combination of Western Christianity (Catholicism & Protestantism) & now, perhaps, Anglo-Saxonistan which is, in his fantasies, dominated by WASPs. It is not clear how he treats other Europeans, but his image of the West is confusing- it seems that “West” is a combination of Poles, French, Germans & Swedes, Russia’s historical invaders; on the other hand, he easily switches between centuries & mixes the 17th C with the 21st C.
Putin’s narrative is also contradictory. It is not clear whether historical invaders of Russia (Poles, French, Germans) are now the threatening & potentially Russia-conquering West, or just puppets of the global WASP power. Anyway, all Western Christians, from the Portuguese to the English, are racists. Putin’s version of the contemporary world is that “good guys” are colored races (China, India, Africa, blacks in the US,..). Russia, in his view, is not “white” (whatever this may mean).
As far as religious culture goes, Western Christianity is the enemy. It is only Eastern, Orthodox Christianity that he thinks of “defending”. Also, his reinterpretation of history is laughable: he states that historical “friends”, buddies in Russia are Eastern Orthodox, Jews and Muslims (with a smattering of Buddhists).
For anyone who knows anything about the history of Russia- this is absurd. Before Communism, Jews and Muslims were considered irreconcilable aliens & enemies. He’s lying about trivial facts.
Then, his fantasies about WASPs, now, have nothing to do with reality. He fantasizes that TG, gay & Globohomo ideology is basically WASPy, or “white” tool for domination over colored races, Russia & a sword wielded by US “whites” to conquer the world & to exploit it.
Globohomo ideology is, in his definition, the invention of globalist Anglo-Saxonists to subdue Africans, Asians & other coloreds- and, of course, Russia, which is a natural ally of the East and South.
His world-view is simply idiotic.
It can be easily decoded if one reads his last speech & watches short videos (when he says, in translation, Christianity, he means only Eastern Orthodoxy; also, when he talks about races, and white race especially, he doesn’t include Russians in the definition).

Well at the time they may have been thinking they'd get laid more often.Replies: @Buzz Mohawk
Always a mistake. Women respect us more when we don’t give in for that reason. They instinctively see guys who give in to get laid as losers, because they are.
In a free society, the woman chooses her man*, and everything works better when the man is just what he truly is — instead of pretending to be something else. If you want to get laid more, if that is a problem for you, then think about what you can do to really improve yourself, not how you can please women. Know the difference, because they can see it.
*It is my thesis that the woman selects the man, more often than we guys want to admit. What happens is that guys mistakenly think they can win over women even if it is obvious that “she is not that into you.” Part of the secret to successful dating, etc. is simply being able to see when a girl finds you desirable. If you can see that she obviously doesn’t, then don’t waste your time (or hers!) Some other woman will want you, and she is the one you should go after. As I say, in this way the woman selects the man.

Screenwriter Ben Hecht, co-author of “The Front Page” (aka “His Girl Friday”) is probably most responsible for the view of old-time reporters as ill-mannered boors. He became a Chicago reporter at age 16 in 1910. But keep in mind that he was from an affluent Jewish family in Wisconsin and had entered the U. of Wisconsin at age 16 and immediately pledged to a fraternity. But then he decided he didn’t like college. In terms of social class, he was probably similar to contemporary journalists.
So, I dunno.
“How about everyone shut up and wait for the investigation”
Any results from the Las Vegas shooter investigation?
The link takes us to a 2003 piece by Eno in the Guardian contrasting Soviet media under Brezhnev (“we knew it was propaganda”) with the news manipulation in the year before the Iraq war. But even at the time this was not tremendously insightful. Anyone with a brain could see that the war was a done deal while the charade of UN resolutions, parliamentary votes and second UN resolutions was still in progress.
Contrast it with the Covid crisis. In the summer of 2020, it seemed that drastic measures against an unprecedented emergency had worked and that normality was returning. Then – Gamma, Delta, Epsilon… Christmas is cancelled, can Christmas be saved… Vaccines at last, double jabbed, booster jabs…
The novelty at work here is propaganda aimed at governments. In Britain we were treated to regular televised cabinet briefings by the Chief Medical Officer displaying Cliffs notes telling us that “R > 1” and so on. Er – Deaths or cases? With Covid or of it? Who did they sample? Six months in, it became fairly clear that the cabinet itself was acting on these bullet points and had not thought to ask.
Politicians used to have their speeches written for them, but now it is the policy making too. The real problem is not experts as such, but the practice of governments binding themselves in advance to take only the advice of some neutral, impartial, independent body on a given issue. Somehow, the kind of experts they get are never the sort who think that what should be done is nothing.

Vanity Fair on Epsteins ‘strange’ relationship with reputed spy Les Wexner.
“Levin had never heard of the man, Jeffrey Epstein, which was odd. After working for Wexner for seven years, Levin knew virtually every player on Wall Street (a few months earlier, Levin says, he met with arbitrageur Ivan Boesky). Levin’s skepticism was confirmed as soon as he arrived at Epstein’s Madison Avenue office. There were no visible signs of a trading operation; just Epstein sitting behind a desk that didn’t even have a computer. “Epstein was trying to explain a currency trade he wanted to do. I have an MBA from Ohio State, and I didn’t understand a word the man said,” Levin recalled. Levin went back to Columbus and reported that Epstein was a fraud. “I told Les, ‘Stay away from him,’ ”

(I’m on the fence about Ron’s bioweapon theory, but in his theory the virus wasn’t supposed to affect non-target countries so heavily in any case.) But I absolutely agree with the other commenters that the response was arranged with an eye to embarrassing Trump, maximizing vote fraud, and generally implementing leftist control-freakery.
It’s no coincidence, for example, that there was almost a prefect correlation between how Blue a state or city government was and how hard they stomped on the social control. “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” said (Democrat) strategist Rahm Emanuel.
Mr. Akuleyev thinks that non-American government overreactions disprove the thesis, but this forgets that 1) a large number of governments blindly follow the US lead, no matter how bad, and the US doesn’t care what happens to them (e.g., NATO and the Ukraine), 2) plenty of foreign governments have their own control-freak aspirations and were only too happy to catch a ride on the panic legitimization being pumped out by the world’s preeminent propaganda machinery, and 3) plenty of foreign governments (especially second- and third-world) just mouthed along with the directives being promulgated by the (American-led) CDC and WHO since it allowed them to make special pleading and demand “emergency funds” while life on the ground was basically unchanged.

Change “liquor” to “diversity”, and Young Abe nails it:
I have a hypothesis that for some jobs, if things were perfectly fair, you'd find that men are paid more for the same job. Why? Because in some jobs -- specifically math-oriented ones -- there are a higher percentage of men who are highly qualified.
Imagine that you hired only people 6' or taller, and you had different ranks for different heights. So, people 6'0"-6'3" are entry level, 6'3"-6'5" are grade 2, and so on.
Because of the bell curve, not only would there be more men at grade 2 and above, the average man in the entry level position would be taller than the average women in the entry level position. Thus, men would be paid more at every job level.
It looks like bias, but it isn't.Replies: @Reg Cæsar, @Guest007
The 27% does not make for any allowances and is just a comparison of mean female pay versus mean male pay. However, since there are more women in early children education and more men in petroleum engineering, mean make more than women, overall. However, when comparing career choices, men take jobs that get a premium for being math oriented, not being 8-5, or being dangerous. The people who climb up antenna or windmills are men. I have never seen a woman lowered into a manhole in the middle of the street.
My take is different.
"Propaganda" is another area where we White European Conservative Americans tend to really, really suck. We tend to suck at a lot of things:
Foreign language skills
Partner dancing skills or just being sexy to women
fighting and jumping
There hasn't been an undisputed White American Heavy weight boxing champion since Rocky Marciano and he was Italian American.
In contrast White British, White European boxers have dominated the middle and heavier weight divisions these last 25 years.
Back to poliitical and cultural propaganda.
We suck
The last political consultant, political manager that was any good at political propaganda was Lee Atwater that got George HW Bush elected president by destroying Lib Dem candidate MA Governor Michael Dukakis for being soft on Black crime, letting convicted murderer Willie Horton free on an unsupervised weekend pass where Willie Horton proceded to do a home invasion and raped a (White) Woman.
When pressed about doing this rather stupid thing, governor Dukakis never admitted he did anything wrong, instead he wanted to switch the subject to no fault auto insurance.
Propaganda is about presenting your political, cultural message in ways that reach the hearts and minds of specific people though means like well like music, images, videos, poetry, street posters.
Our side always tries to win the argument by trying to get "our people" to read long boring books.
Propaganda is both an art and a science. Like soccer and basketball that are funamentals that need to be learned and then improvisation around them.
We need to study the best propaganda of others including:
Yes - Communists, Socialists, Islamists, socialist nationalists.
I would be honored to teach others the basics of good propaganda.
I recommend the books "Faces of the Enemy" by Sam Keen

But, be aware American Whtie Conservatives have had ~ 100 years of really bad propaganda, of always losing, trying to push disliked things like Economic Conservatism, belt tightening, tax cutting or disliked corporations and just presenting boring candidates with bad optics, no music and always bad propaganda.
If we don't get better real soon at propaganda our people will suffer the same fate as Europeans in Santo Domingo/Haiti, Algeria, Rhodesia.... Constantinople,... Baltimore, Philly etc.

Conservatives are the adults in the room saying things like “we can’t keep running trillion-dollar a year deficits forever”. Liberals are like Santa Claus giving all the children lots of free presents. It’s tough to compete with Santa Claus in a popularity contest. Advocating belt tightening and reducing government spending only appeals to people who think long term and can see the future results if it is not done. This is now a small and shrinking percentage of the population. It will only be when the money runs out that the government will reduce spending. Voters will never vote for that voluntarily.
They have and do.
Much is known about say, the Spanish American War and its fake origins. That was at the early stages of mass media (cheap print newspapers) which made spreading propaganda much easier.
Previously this was done mainly by word-of-mouth rumors. Broadsides (pamphlets, posters pasted or nailed on to tavern doors, walls, etc.) Sometimes amplified by mass audience speeches given by politicians or other political leaders wishing to inflame public opinion. Even now famous early books/novels served those ends.
In the 20th century means to disseminate propaganda blossomed. Radio, film, TV, cheap publishing and now computers, Internet and various ways of doing that.
Elon Musk is giving us a solid peek at how “social media” is secretly directing propaganda themes and pushing some while suppressing others.
More tools now. Same game as before.

Jackson cleared out the tribes who stood in the way of settlement of properties that had been tied up in legal disputes arising from the Yazoo Land Scandal (starting 1789) which mostly preceded the cotton boom.

Jack D has admitted he’s a fed. He runs defense for the Deep State. Hence his disinformation and lying about Epstein, a Deep State-protected blackmail-collector.
lmao. You lie pretty badly to protect your Deep State pimp Epstein there, fed.
What’s the matter? Your masters forgot to come up with a cover story?
lol. JackD, trying to gaslight the obvious about Epstein, is hilarious and giving himself away as a Deep State disinformation spreader.
This is why I do ‘more than ignore‘ during the periodic begging-popups that appear on Wikipedia.
Every time I see one, I send the same e-mail to a group of Wikipedia email addresses from my favourite StartMail alias – GetFuckedYouCunts – before I add the relevant page element to my custom “Get Fucked” list in uBlock Origin.
I know these seldom get read, but sometimes they do – and I’ve actually had a couple of responses.
No we don’t. Russian ammonium nitrate works just fine with or without an independent Ukraine. If the Ellis Island-Americans are so worried about what’s going on back home, they can ship their a**es back.

The GPT-J-6B model, created by eleuther.ai, was trained on an 800GB dataset of diverse text for language modeling called “The Pile.” This was fed into a large blank neural network, simulated on a cluster of GPUs, and the probabilistic connections between neurons were reinforced when the output matched the masked text, and reduced when it didn’t. After days or weeks of training, the model was released to the public in mid 2021. It has 6 billion parameters, compared to Davinci’s 185B+. I fine tuned it on your unz blog for use as a chat bot, but it still needs more training or a different corpus, such as tweet replies.
Thanks.
Maybe you could take a break Reg.
“In Manufacturing Consent (published in 1988), Chomsky made a similar point to Eno’s: that propaganda in the US was not overt but rather took the form of a highly choreographed “discourse” in which certain viewpoints were emphasized and others suppressed.“
And conservative publications and the Alt Right doesn’t engage in this behavior?
I’d like to, but there are more triggers here than on D-Day!
Maybe Steve could give you 6 or 7 topics to write and he could take the week off. See if anyone notices.
“He thought Negro-loving Dixie was worth keeping in the Union”
Lincoln’s great goal, and that of his political sponsors, was to institute the so-called American System which is short-hand for eliminating federalism for the purpose of authorizing federal public financing of public improvements: railroads. The war was fought to eliminate the federal system of government and Lincoln succeeded. The aftermath was exactly as described by Mencken below. Oh, and Robert Lincoln was rewarded with the presidency of the Pullman Palace Car company.
Masters, quoted below, was the son of William Herndon’s later life business partner and had his father’s first hand knowledge of Lincoln as recited by Herndon (Lincoln’s law partner). Masters published an examination of Lincoln and his politics in the 1930s. Here’s an review:

Both sides were fighting for a future in which the result of a “win” would be a much blacker country than had they lost. If that isn’t race treason, what is?
Many southern slaves were acquired from northern states who mostly gave their slave holders time to sell their property before abolition went into effect.Replies: @Reg Cæsar
The slave trade was banned in the first decade of the 19th century. The slave population in the decades before the war would have been mostly internally derived. The die was cast re: population size in the 18th century well before the war.

Far West.......... 98.9
Mid-Atlantic.... 98.2Upper South.... 76.4Lower South.... 55.9The "Upper South" was divided, but was just under 20% of the US population. Split it in half, and do the math.

JFC. Ellis Island Americans are white. No better or no worse than “Heritage Americans”. You patently divisive rhetoric is unneeded and unwanted.
Ellis Island-Americans are more liberal, generally opposed to right-to-work laws, often bolsheviks or gangsters, and hung up on their old country conflicts. They lack historical and genetic continuity with the people who founded the country, the Anglo-Americans. They are deeply suspicious of concepts like castle doctrine and right to bear arms, common law, and the marketplace of ideas.
Are typically white. Why are seeking to divide U.S. with your elitism?
“are more liberal”
No. Decidedly conservative. Peasant stock. God fearing. Hard working.
“generally opposed to right-to-work laws, often bolsheviks or gangsters, and hung up on their old country conflicts.”
That’s propagenda.
“lack historical and genetic continuity with the people who founded the country, the Anglo-Americans. “
Europeans are of the same genetic background, my friend.
“They are deeply suspicious of concepts like castle doctrine and right to bear arms, common law, and the marketplace of ideas.”
Now you’re just rehashing old ethnic tropes. And you’re own wife’s ancestors were a mix of Alpine and Mediterranean peoples. You have no decency.

Lives in the San Francisco area, is a big advocate of achieving True Weather Stasis by any means necessary, close to Newsom and Jerry Brown, and has some… interesting physiognomy.
There’s a Gil Friend in the Bay Area whose father Chaim was heavily involved in running guns to the semitic supremacist settler-colonialists in Palestine back in the day. Probably just a coincidence.
