An essay by one of former New Republic owner Marty Peretz’s Bright Young Men (along with Andrew Sullivan and Al Gore), James Kirchick:
Can American Jews Be White Nationalists?
White House Adviser Stephen Miller Is a Spokesman for Groups That Wouldn’t Have Him as a Member
BY JAMES KIRCHICK | OCTOBER 11, 2017
Stephen Miller and I have a few things in common.
Both Jewish, we were raised upper-middle class in comfortable, liberal suburbia (he, Santa Monica; me, outside Boston). We both rebelled against the stifling, progressive conformity of our respective communities by embracing a contrarian, at times combative, conservative politics. … Our work caught the eye of David Horowitz, the ur-leftist turned hardcore conservative. …
Another substantive difference is our views on immigration. While I always have favored high levels of immigration … Miller is a severe restrictionist. …
This provided one of the most improbable spectacles of an already bizarre presidential campaign: the nasally, nebbishy Jewish kid from Santa Monica egging on crowds of down-scale whites in middle America with attacks on coastal elites.
While Miller was attracted to the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, I, and many other Jewish right-of-center writers, were repelled. “A country that is politically pluralistic, open to new ideas and new people, ethnically diverse, and respectful of religious difference, is a country that will naturally be safer for Jews than a country that is none of these things,” I wrote in March of last year, in the first of what would become many pieces articulating my vehement opposition to Trump’s candidacy. …
[Miller’s] improbable existence as a Woody Allen character who talks like Pat Buchanan is a near-comical rebuke to those white nationalists who claim a Jewish conspiracy has orchestrated untrammeled immigration to dilute America’s racial stock.
Indeed, Miller has run with these ideas. In a recent televised exchange with (the equally insufferable) Jim Acosta of CNN, who asked Miller if the Trump administration would forsake Emma Lazarus’ paean to “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” Miller accused the reporter of harboring a “cosmopolitan bias,” an indictment redolent of the Soviet-era, anti-Semitic slur, “rootless cosmopolitan.”
I don’t doubt the sincerity of Miller’s views. He is clearly well-versed in the policy particulars, and gives articulate voice to ideas shared by tens of millions of my fellow Americans. “I think it was growing up in California, he saw the role that mass migration played turning a red state blue,” one unidentified former Senate colleague of Miller told Politico Magazine. “He was fearful that that would happen to the rest of the country.” Miller would hardly be alone in fearing how Hispanic immigration will change America. But these were the same fears that the restrictionists of yesteryear raised about Stephen Miller’s ancestors.
By giving voice to a form of American nationalism that is ethnic rather than creedal, Stephen Miller—whose family fled Belarus to these welcoming shores in 1903—is a perverse emblem of successful Jewish assimilation into America’s racial culture. Miller “passes” as white. On a personal level, he is deeply annoying, vexing, and has caused me to re-examine some of my deepest beliefs about being American, being Jewish, and being a conservative.
First, there’s something desperately preening about Miller’s entire career, a sense that he adopts such harsh positions, and in so strident a fashion, as if to ingratiate himself with the most goyishe precincts of the Trump universe—the sort of people who might otherwise question his roots. …
To that point, the strange case of Miller illuminates the recent debate over whether Jews are white. Throughout his career, Miller has gone out of his way to make people think that he belongs to this particular racial group. …
To cite a bit of wisdom from that great American Jewish philosopher Groucho Marx: It’s sad that Miller has become a mouthpiece for a group that won’t accept him as a member. Yet there’s something oddly reassuring about the rise of Stephen Miller, something that speaks to the comfort and respect that Jews have achieved here. For where else could a Stephen Miller have been created but in America, a country so open to outsiders and assimilation that a Jewish kid from Santa Monica could grow up to work for the most nakedly nativist president in living memory? …
American Jews, then, have something of a communal obligation to pay it forward by supporting a liberal immigration regime. … Nor does it apply to other parts of the world; continued mass Muslim immigration from North Africa and the Middle East into Europe, for example, is a portentous development that will make Jewish life there, already difficult, increasingly so. But an American Jew calling for a drastic reduction in legal immigration to America is unseemly.
Whether he is a “white nationalist,” as many now call him, or not, Miller remains in essence the campus provocateur of his Duke days. …
Larry Elder, a Los Angeles-based conservative talk radio host whom Miller sought out as a mentor, told The Washington Post that, “The way that people on the left abuse and slam people on the right—that’s probably the thing that’s most concerned Stephen. The lack of fairness. The left wing dominance in academia. The left wing dominance in the media. The left wing dominance in Hollywood.”
It’s true that liberals dominate all these fields. But Stephen Miller has had a privileged life, and he’s now working for the most powerful man in the world. The coy conflation of Jewish identity and whiteness, the revisionist undermining of America’s immigrant history, the constant cries of victimhood from someone who has benefitted enormously from the American system and who would deny its blessings to others, well, we Jews have a word for all this: chutzpah.

More confirmation that by “revisionist” Jews mean truthful.
Nevermind Jews, how can anyone be a white nationalist? It’s so icky.
But the typical WN is a complete loser who occupies the extreme left of the bell curve for every desirable human trait. The quality variance among whites is extremely high, which is why it cannot really be considered one race, and the 'median' white income/character/looks tells you very little about the true garbage that comprises the bottom 20% (the men are WNs, the women are fat feminists).Replies: @Alden

Yes, he comes across as a liberal Jewish writer who is chastising a fellow Jewish writer for going too conservative. Not a Repub criticising a Repub. It is a great example of old, middle of the road, big biz Republicanism vs Trumpish Populist-Republican.
He really impressed me with his cognitive dissonance when he accepted the idea that high Muslim Euro migration was bad for Euro Jews - then immediately writes that the US should not consider restricting it.
And his resurrection of the old antisemitic "Jews are not white - they cannot be. They are some other race." Can you believe dipping into that particular antisemitic well for that particular bit of filth? Oy, indeed!
Kirchick has literally confirmed the MacDonald thesis.
If the sine non qua of a Jewish identity is supporting mass immigration…
Once again if Jews were not white they never would have been able to naturalize from the late 18th to the mid 19th century. The Naturalization Act of 1790, and several of its successors, limited naturalization to free whites of good character. European Jews were not prevented from naturalizing. I suppose an Ethiopian Jew would have. But I doubt any even tried.
I am getting tired of this Noel Ignatiev crap.
Let me make sure that I have this right….He’s against restricting immigration, except when it’s obviously bad for the Jews….
If you recall, the USA was very unsafe for the Jews in the 1950s. As Sailer has documented, new-money Jews were shut out of the old-money Jewish country clubs. Very unsafe indeed.
Whites are to blame for that, as Whites are also to blame for the job postings that never actually read "Irish Need Not Apply".Replies: @Hibernian

So for Kirchick the immigration matter is simply contingent on what is good for his ethnic affiliates. I’m glad that he articulates this point so clearly.
They are throwing absolutely everything they can at this Stephen Miller guy. He absolutely infuriates them! An apostate in a position of power! So many reasons to like him.
My favorite part of this angry screed is the recurring subtext that if the alt-right doesn’t stop making inconvenient noise about immigration, righteous republicans will quit the right wing. That’s really rich.

Right dude, good comparison, because my understanding is that the number of illegals crossing the border every year is a good fraction of all the jews living in America, also relevant to this comparison is that I believe these mass of migrators have won something close to zero Nobel prizes, so yeah, right on, good comparison dude.
Yeah this is so outlandish, it’s not like his genes are primarily of an insular European sort, they’re probably more akin to the genes of the poor little Indios he’s trying to oppress… right? science? anybody…
SEE! It’s not a conspiracy! It’s a “communal obligation.”
He's also repeating these distortions of truth that Trump "labeled Mexicans rapists and criminals". Trump said that Mexico is sending their rapists, Trump didn't just say that Mexicans were broadly rapists.Replies: @Humbles
So, the narrative we must present is that of national solvency. Point out the historical record of ethnic hatred developing in essentially every single multi-cultural nation and demonstrate how these countries have inherently failed. Mention every single example of these facts in the past and the present. Yugoslavia, the Ottoman Empire, Iraq, Brazil, Lebanon, Myanmar, etc etc etc.
Kirchick:
Huh? Citation needed.
Miller/Spencer 2024! Them Duke boys are at it again!
Not being a Lazarean? Bad for the Jews.
But mass Muslim immigration? Bad for the Jews.
Working for Middle America against coastal elites? (Why are coastal elites so against them anyway?) Bad for the Jews.
Not paying back the goys who built the system that blessed your ancestors by browbeating their descendants into importing more outside help dilute their interests? Bad for the Jews. (Also not chutzpah.)
Question his roots? Mr. Miller should just just go whole hog, like Mr. Kirchick: make it clear that because of his roots his interests are by default against mine and they’re all he cares about. Because Good for the Jews.
I *am* the sort of people who might question Stephen Miller's roots. In fact, I have questioned them. I have examined them carefully -- and found them healthy. Because he's clearly on my side about the immigration issue, it's clear his own, personal roots are not poisonous to my people. Stephen can stay.
How about you, Jamie? It looks like your own, personal set of roots are QUITE questionable. So, let's look and see. Are YOUR roots sick, and poisonous to my people? Are YOU advocating for mass immigration of aliens hostile to me and mine? Sure looks like it.
Just wanna make sure that you guys know that I went to Yale….whereas this Goy-worshiping upstart went to Duke (ugh)

Let me spell it out for you. Me: Yale, Buckley, classy. Him: Duke, Ann Coulter, déclassé
Yeah, that’s right. He helped to unseat a fellow Jew.And it wasn’t for an acceptable reason, like being soft on Israel. Remember that…..
It turned my stomach, the sight of a Jew actually taking the side of those flyover-country hicks…..
Kirchick's citing of his association with notorious juicer, sodomist, junkie, AIDS hound and sometime lunatic Andrew Sullivan as an argument for Kirchick's classy background is stretching things a bit though.
Also, Buckley's legacy (at least his magazine) is not aging well, while Coulter is more right every day.Replies: @Jus' Sayin'..., @Bill

New Haven CT the home of Yale University makes my South Side of Chicago neighborhood near the University of Chicago seem like a Swiss Village back in the 1950s.
> At Yale (me) and Duke (him), both of us wrote provocative newspaper columns that scandalized the campus and occasionally brought us national attention.
> Miller went the Ann Coulter-Rush Limbaugh-red-blooded outrage route, penning bombshell columns for the Duke Chronicle, which, according to the paper’s editor, were “low stakes but high offense.”
Kirchick forgets to mention what, exactly, earned Miller his acclaim as a writer at Duke. That was the Durham, NC's low stakes but high offense [sic] campaign to jail three Duke lacrosse players for raping a black woman, enthusiastically supported by Duke's administration, many faculty, many students, and the national SJW community. Miller's was one of the very few voices in favor of Due Process and decency. The circus lost interest and left town when it turned out that, unfortunately, no crime had been committed and the players were thus innocent.
In his superior Ivy League journalism, Mr. Kirchick was much braver, and about higher-stakes issues. But he forgot to mention those, too.
This is real progress. You would never have heard anything remotely like this from our elites one year ago.
A typical leftist tactic is "Yes, BUT". Yes, Miller is sincere BUT his views are horribly misguided. Yes, millions of those horrible misguided goyim have these same wrong views, BUT a Jew has no business agreeing with them. The concession (the Yes) is just a rhetorical setup so that you can proceed with the BUT that will smash it.Replies: @Lugash

The majority of US immigration today is from Latin America and East/South Asia. Pakistanis are not yet that prominent, though they would be if H. Clinton had stolen the election and signed the TiSA treaty.
But the majority of immigration to Europe is coming from the Middle East, the non-EU Muslim Balkans, North Africa, and increasingly from sub-Saharan Africa. Most sources are Muslim, with a minority of Black African Christians.
An Islamist government is near impossible to emerge from the former, unless you want to call the Venezuelan Vice President with Hezbollah ties an omen. But it is highly likely to emerge from the latter, as Islamist political parties hold offices in some EU countries.
From Kirchick's, and his community's perspective, the leading threat is that Middle America elects a Viktor Orban-style government backed up by a Jobbik-style opposition party.Replies: @notanon

How Putin Plays Trump Like a Piano
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/how-putin-plays-trump-like-a-piano/Replies: @Maj. Kong, @pitino fan club prez, @Another Realist, @Bill Jones
Somalis and Haitians and Salvadorian MS13 and Mayas from Chiapas are bad for virtually all Americans because they suck up public resources far in excess of any contribution.
Hard working Indians, Chinese, and Mestizos both lower wages, helping disproportionately Jewish capital at the expense of disproportionately non Jewish labor.
Even that analysis is kind of silly though. Most Jews still need to work for a living and suffer from mass migration like all native Americans. And in my experience, the actual exploiters of low wage immigrant labor in ag, food service, and construction are not especially Jewish. On the other hand, Jew dominated Hollywood enploys a ton of blue collar union white guys at 100-250k a year. Same for finance, which is not out hiring illegals and employs a lot of middle class Americans.
Old middle class Californians like Steve and many Jews, if they purchased their house long ago, are sitting on $500,000 to $1.25 million of unrealized profits. That is a huge benefit from mass migration. But in the mean while they paid high income taxes to support the government since the migrants do not pay. Amd they have mostly lost the old good public schools. While California still has plemty of good neighborhood elementary schools, probably only 5% of high schools in urban areas are free of a large third world element.
Because buying a house in your 20s is now impossible even for young people on upper middle class tracks, the old Californians have lost the ability to have their kids settle down near them. With one kid, you perhaps can help with a home equity loan, but beyond that, they will have to be single renters or leave the state, or at best live in a very distant suburb.
In summary, the winners and losers are questions of wealth, class and age, not which of the increasing blurry white American sub-ethnicity you belong to.
I went to Samohi around the same time as Stephen Miller.
I don’t know what Kirchick means by “suburbia” but it’s my recollection that we in the elite heart of the nation’s second largest city mocked suburbia.
If he just means white and homogenous then he’s definitely wrong. The Samohi we attended is probably one of the most diverse high schools in the world. I was told by our (non-white) principal that we had students who spoke some three dozen languages* at home.
“Of the student population, 45% are Caucasian** 34% are Hispanic or Latino, 11% are African American, 8% are Asian and 0.2% are Native American”
Keeping in mind we had around 3500 students. Stephen Miller’s and my high school was like a microcosm of a bustling, chaotic, diverse city–not at all like the microcosm of a “community” as ive been seeing high school depicted in tv and movies my whole life.
You didn’t know most of the people and had nothing in common with most of them. There were angry BLM and La Raza type rallies on campus. The cross country team looked nothing like the football team. Stephen Miller’s class-classmates looked nothing like his school-classmates.
But while someone like Stephen Miller might be noticing things he’s also being indoctrinated by his nice white lady teachers on how liberal we must be. (for example, one afternoon of non-stem classes in 10th grade featured white female teachers ages 22, 25, 32 from UCLA, Santa Cruz and Berkeley). And I don’t mean a moderate form of liberal indoctrination. After all, this is the people’s republic of santa Monica, the home of the homeless.
FWIW my recollection is that while Gore won the school vote Bush came in third behind Nader.
Where did Stephen Miller go wrong? Probably a glitch in the matrix: I’ve known many upper-middle class Jews and most have never left the bubble. Samohi was one place where it could happen to the son of an elite liberal could experience the bubble and reality at the same time. It makes a careful observer hard to trick since, to liberals’ great shock and dismay, unfamiliarity with the approved doctrine is not Miller’s problem.
*Off the top of my head–not scrolling through some facebook list–I had pretty close friends who spoke 10 different languages with their parents.
**this includes a LOT of diversity in Los Angeles.

“Miller would hardly be alone in fearing how Hispanic immigration will change America. But these were the same fears that the restrictionists of yesteryear raised about Stephen Miller’s ancestors.”
Those restrictionists’ fears were highly justified, as evidenced by American culture coming to be dominated by people who want to erase and replace the founding stocks of the US.
Imagine if all the diaspora had returned to Israel instead. We'd all be left in peace today.
Apparently the fact that the US is culturally and racially much, much, much, much more Diverse than in 1965 (let alone 1865) is not enough for our dear “conservative” friend Kirchick. Jews apparently have to keep welcoming a million new immigrants per year, the vast majority of whom are more racially alien to Jews than whites are, in order to remain Jews in good standing.
I love how he refers to immigration restrictionists as “my fellow Americans,” as if he actually considers them as his fellow countrymen instead of deplorables needing replaced by Vibrant Immigrants of Color.

Cool story, bro.
It’s long past time to stop taking these clowns seriously. If they want to change that, they need to step up their game.
Nevermind that the way he expresses it makes no sense (he’s not citing Marx, but rather adapting a joke; it’s not wisdom, but a piece of brain-twisting humor). Why are people always misinterpreting that simple–if multilayered–Groucho joke? It’s the laziest form of journalism–which is an exceptionally lazy field, opinion-pieces being perhaps the laziest form–taking common sayings and shoehorning them into your argument without regard for possibly ending up with the opposite of their meaning.

I’m not crazy about “white nationalism” either. Unfortunately, the alternative on offer isn’t cosmopolitan (in the good sense) liberalism (in the traditional sense). The alternative — it’s been coming into focus pretty well in this century — is militant Negro, Latino and Muslim nationalisms that are even less appealing.
Kirchick also vehemently disliked Ron Paul when Ron was campaigning.
The only reason any RINO like Kirchick would not like Ron Paul is because they are also neocons who want to get involved in every other country's business on behalf of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Military Industrial Complex. Ron/Rand Paul just want America to leave everyone else the heck alone, which I totally agree with. It's too bad they are also for open borders, which makes them unelectable to me.

Yup. He’s probably also against nationalism, except when (as in the case of Zionism) it’s good for the Jews.
Optimistic. But of course this wouldn’t turn Kirchick into a Trumpian populist. He’d just be another David Frum.
As far as Jewish opinion-makers go, recruitment (of additional Stephen Miller types) seems like a more promising avenue than persuasion. They must be out there.

Kirchick’s arguments may be just cover for his perceived ethnic interest. But assuming that he actually believes what he writes, as I’m sure he would insist he does, there is a flaw in his assumptions. He assumes that political pluralism and openness are immutable features set in stone no matter what (or who) happens. In reality, though, they are finite quantities that diminish through use, which is to say they follow the law of diminishing returns. Pluralism and openness can’t continue increasing indefinitely because that would lead to ultimate atomization and self-negation.
The Ottoman empire, for example, had to be ruthlessly authoritarian precisely because it included too many different peoples, i.e., its aggressive openness to new people made it extremely pluralistic. But as Lee Kuan Yew (PBUH) observed, “In multiracial societies, you don’t vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion.” So how did the Ottomans square that circle? With a politically all-powerful Sultan and a politically impotent everybody else.
Will everyone voting based on race and religion be good for the Jews, James?
Political pluralism is actually a side-effect of ethnic homogeneity. Only a relatively homogeneous society can sidestep the Lee Kuan Yew Doctrine. Once pluralism and openness are pushed past their optimal utility, a place will emphatically not be naturally safer Jews. How did the end game of the pluralistic Ottoman empire work out for the Jews? How did the end game of the aggressively-absorbed-too-many-new-people Russian empire and Soviet empire work out? Etc.
Miller probably foresees this. Kirchick does not. There’s another difference for you, James.
Americans in the 1920s foresaw this too and closed the borders for a period of assimilation, resulting in the period of maximum Jewish achievement (also maximum American achievement, if Kirchick cares.)
The one point I might add is that Just About All the Troubles in the World That We Worry About in the US Today can be laid at busting up both the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires (Mexican immigration? Didn't they once have a Hapsburg ruler?), removing that authoritarian lid on cross-ethnic strife.

Or maybe Miller’s just a part of the Zionist conspiracy in Trump’s cabinet instead. Zionists are big on walls, aren’t they?
Now that just made me double over with laughter: “the most goyishe precincts of the Trump universe”. Is he referring to that part of the Trump universe that falls outside his family and cabinet?
BTW, for those of you who don’t remember, Kirchik gained a certain notoriety in the summer of 2016 for stating that, if Trump won the election, there could be a coup against him: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-kirchick-trump-coup-20160719-snap-story.html

Brings to mind a crimethought I have harbored about “diversity” in the academic community.
The reason for the scare quotes is that there are two kinds of diversity relating to two distinct populations. The Federal kind, not completely but in large part, has to do Social Justice for persons whose ancestors endured the Middle Passage. The State University kind has to do with foreign students paying out-of-state tuition.
That said, the value of the diverse academic community is one gets to meet and teach and work side-by-side with students and colleagues from a multitude of backgrounds from across the globe, giving a member of the community the opportunity to form a unique prejudicial opinion about each cultural group.
I did a post on alt-Jew a while back. I’ve met quite a few Jews who somewhat fall into this category. I also have many Jewish readers who come close to this definition. My impression is that Jews outside the northeast are much more open minded and realistic about demographics and biology. They are also less worried about Hitler popping out from under their bed. As a result, they tend to look past the fashy aesthetic of white nationalists.
The other thing that is true of Jews who hang around white nationalists and the alt-right is they unequivocally call themselves white, American and Jewish. Being an American Jew is a unique identity within white America, but it is it still uniquely white and uniquely American. In other words, their loyalty to other Jews comes after White and American. Most of the alt-Jews I’ve met had this realization after a trip to Israel or Europe.
I don't look past it so much as view it within the context of Zionism. Having admitted that I live in a fairly successful fascist state, I don't begrudge allies having the same inter-generational security. Indeed, I think it's necessary that they do have this for themselves, lest we both find ourselves up a creek in a world overrun by militant brown hoards.
I think the question of whether I'm "white," is spurious. That's only an issue for the diaspora and multi-ethnic nations to figure out. Anyone who feels strongly about their Jewishness should be here in Israel. Anyone who feels strongly about their Whiteness or American Identity should remain where they are and adjust their attitudes accordingly. Being White American, like being a Zionist, brings certain obligations. Miller appears to realize this. G-d bless him.
I also suspect that any Jew that claims that they are "American first" would quickly abandon such a position if push ever came to shove.Replies: @Charles Erwin Wilson
No, we do not need to regret the arrival of anyone in the past.
But it seems rather fallacious to argue that because we had mass immigration in the past, we are obligated to have mass immigration in the future.
Likewise, if warnings about immigrant quality in the past were unfounded, it does not mean we should not be concerned with immigrant quality in the future.
On net, letting huge number of Jews into the most influential country led to Jews becoming by far the most influential people in the world. If someone believes that it resulted in numerous negative outcomes, why is it wrong to regret the decision?
Unfounded? Which warnings were unfounded? The later Irish really were (are?)horrific drunks. The early ones came under the British. The Russian Jews have been near unprecedented troublemakers, then as now. Most of the worst Italians returned to Italy leaving us, thankfully, with the best of the lot. The German Jews turned out well. Old stock types feared the Germans would take over due to their industriousness, a fear that was justified. I don’t think anybody feared the Scandies. More of the old Brits might have done well to fear the Scots but they came in before the Revolution.
And the restrictionists are turning out to be right if James Kirchick is supposed to be the exemplar.
Bright Young Man Kirchick forgets (or deceptively omits) that the deplorable restrictionists of yestertyear succeeded in stopping mass immigration and ushering in a period of (mostly) successful assimilation. The immigration history picture is incomplete without that.
Bright Young Man Kirchick is apparently unfamiliar with Conservative Party Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
Bright Young Man Kirchick is either not bright or not honest.

Agree with your interpretation.
Kirchick’s citing of his association with notorious juicer, sodomist, junkie, AIDS hound and sometime lunatic Andrew Sullivan as an argument for Kirchick’s classy background is stretching things a bit though.

Contiguous paragraphs. Did no one read this before it was published? Was it just an attempt to piss people off?
Good comment, AM.
“A country that is politically pluralistic, open to new ideas and new people, ethnically diverse, and respectful of religious difference, is a country that will naturally be safer for Jews than a country that is none of these things,”
Unless it is Israel of course.
Jews became naturalized whites hundreds of years ago. Just look at the pictures of Jesus.

The article is from the zocalopublicsquare.org website of ASU Knowledge Enterprise, Arizona State University. Even though it is from Arizona it seems to be mostly concerned with LA kind of interests.

“naturally be safer for Jews”
Does the author really walk around thinking other Americans are ready to band together and kill him and all other Jews? Oddly the most insane threat to ‘The Jews’ is that the entire area east and north of Israel has been lit on fire intentionally. Somebody didn’t read that letter from President Washington. Back in the day governmental protection of ‘natural rights’ for all citizens was what kept everybody safe.
“It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.” – George Washington
Didn’t Milo, when he was still on twitter, post a pic of Kirchick standing in front of Trotsky’s grave in Mexico with his fist raised? Seems like an odd thing for a “conservative” to do.
Conversos 500 years ago become Franco 80 years ago.
Plenty of European mixed Blacks – the correct term is now “Biracial” – “passed” into White in decades and centuries past. Their descendants now ARE White.
Generic American White is a very maleable and protean concept and group.
The synonym for “passing” that Kirchick doesn’t want to use is “assimilation.” Not all people who are born Jews embrace the Tribe. It isn’t just a rejection of Progressivism that is possible – some reject the Tribe itself. Some come through the gauntlet created by a Jewish Mother and end up quite despising it. Enthusiastic Conversos militantly rejecting the Tribe will continue to exist so long as ethnic Jews exist to spin them out into the world. Zionism has an equal and opposite, albeit smaller.
The late Lawrence Auster, himself born Jewish, posed this rhetorical question to his co-ethnics: Would 19th century America have allowed masses of Jews to immigrate if it had known that the price of that was that those Jews would would oppose against any sensible immigration policy in the future?
So, how much of this sort of thing is them not knowing that the goyim know, how much of it is them taunting us, and how much of it is a natural solipsism that makes women look cosmically enlightened?
The two ways for a Jewish male to be awarded the much reviled ‘honorary white man’ status–
-campaign for immigration reduction
-rape and sexually molest women over a thirty year period.
You’ll notice no room at all is given to civic nationalism. The very reasonable prospect that perhaps people of all races who are legally born here should get the benefits ahead of the 7 billion other people on the planet is pushed into the Nazi abyss. Even when a Jewish man proposes it.
The most dangerous idea that our esteemed host has ever had is not sex or racial differences, but this most moderate one.

Isn’t this a self portait of Albrecht Dürer?
Yes, you’d think identifying and sympathizing with ordinary White Americans was the worst thing that a Jew could do.
For Kirchick, Miller as a Jew is guilty of the ultimate sin: not being ethnocentric enough.
Needless to say, we Gentiles need more “traitors” like Stephen Miller.
I think Jews are in the same position as Republicans were in the 1990s to the mid-2000s. There is a powerful establishment with a certain set of ideas, and for the most part, the rank-and-file go along with it.
Like Ron Paul, or even earlier Pat Buchanan, Stephen Miller is one of the first iconoclasts to really start attracting attention.
While enmity with white Gentiles (antijaphetism) is not, on the whole, good for the Jews in America, it is very, very good for the Jewish establishment, which derives much of its power from making Jews feel they must be protected from the white Gentiles, and by allying with other groups that have resentment of whites in general. Anti-Jewish hate crimes means more Jews giving to the Anti-Defamation League, just as liberal atrocities once drove conservatives to the National Review, and maybe more support for the ADL from various Gentile grievance groups.
I think the same is likely true in Europe, to the extent that there are any Jewish elements in the European establishment.
If problems with Muslims become more and more publicized, I have a feeling that over the next decade or so, more and more Jews are going to start developing counter-establishment views on immigration, and we could get a full-scale revolt against, e.g., the ADL, the AJC, Commentary in the same way that we are now getting a revolt against the leadership of the Republican Party.
I think in general in the coming years there is going to be more of a revolt against all of the current elites in every institution, as they have all become too self-interested and stopped caring about those whom they are supposed to represent.

I’m starting to wonder if it is more correlative than causative, or at least there’s some correlation…
Stephen Miller might just be the sexiest man in the political world today. Trust me on this. You saw it with Cassandra Fairbanks on Twitter and plenty of other gals plus that one lefty woman’s bodice-ripper… Guys like that have healthy self-esteem and just aren’t drawn to lefty politics. A lot of Jews, however, don’t have Miller’s “it” factor.
Lawrence Auster also said from the time he was in middle school, girls were drawn to him for the very simple fact that he was bold in asserting himself.
Not saying it’s the only thing, but it’s huge.
he’s on the verge of understanding it’s bad for us in America too
He may come to understand it, but only when it’s too late. To quote Auster again:
Stephen Miller was on patriotic overdrive when he was fighting the 2013 Obama/Rubio Illegal Alien Amnesty — Mass Immigration Surge bill(S744) while he was working for US Senator Jeff Sessions. That immigration bill would have tripled legal immigration while giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal alien invaders. I won’t forget that, and millions of others won’t either. That pissant Jew Kirchick can go straight to hell. Stephen Miller is a patriotic Jew who loves the United States of America.
Stephen Miller may be forgiven if he developed a certain amount of animosity against the 12 or so Republican Party Senators who voted for the 2013 Obama/Rubio immigration bill(S744). Miller is only human, and he probably knows all about the shady skulduggery of those horrible rats such as McCain, Rubio, Graham, Flake, Alexander and the other GOP Senate rats who voted for that nation-wrecking immigration bill.
Miller must ignore the screeching scoundrels such as Kirchick; Miller has bigger fish to fry.
Yes, but only because it’s bad for his tribe. That’s Steven Steinlight’s argument.
They got to go back.
Kirchick claims to favor political pluralism, but mass immigration of Third World peoples will spell the end of political pluralism in this country. No more conservative politics, which after all only appeals to white people. Democrats will rule until the whole house of cards collapses.
The gist of this piece is “we jews can never be on your side, because we are jews”. I could not have put it better myself, although maybe not quite as explicit.
I had to reread those paragraphs three times before I believed my eyes. That was a much better example of chutzpah
Stevo, I think you have to give me credit for explaining that which has confounded you so!
The Gladwellian paradox, if you will, and to give it a grander sounding nomenclature than it deserves, but to make everytone fell better:
“The only thing that separates the successful from the non-successful is the hours they put in.”
Gladwell’s 10,000 hours summation of all human achievement proves itself.

Yes. The Know-Nothings were right. The immigration restrictionists in the 1920s thought you could turn people into ‘Americans’ with enough brainwa-er, education and propaganda. This was totally idiotic- just look at Europe and notice how each of the nations have their own culture, traditions, issues and rivals. Sandblasting it all and replacing it with a love of making money is unsustainable and disintegrates once the money runs out.
Hi Steve, off topic but what do you think of this year’s group of MacArthur genius grant winners?
The real difference between Kirchick and Miller is that Miller is in a position of power and influence – a highly successful young man devotedly and brilliantly serving his country; while Kirchick…. well, not so much!

If only there was a Jewish nation in the Middle East that James Kirchick could move to so that he could get away from us evil white gentiles. Unfortunately no such nation exists so he will be forced to stay in the United States against his will.
I wonder if James Kirchick supports non-Jewish immigration to Israel?
And such a country will naturally NOT be better and will NOT be safer for me and my people – the people whose ancestors founded this country. Why is that so difficult for Jews like Jamie Kirchik to understand? Or does he just not care? Is it that they only care about their own people, and the rest of us be damned.
And, given the actions of Jamie Kirchik and many others like him, woud they have been wrong about his ancestors?
And why is it exactly that you have a special word for it? Does that come in handy a lot?
He does not care. To the extent Jews like Kirchick feel tinges of guilt for what they're doing, there's a huge justification industry alleging that whites' various historical transgressions are inconceivably and uniquely bad, and therefore whites deserve neither empathy nor sympathy.
Susan Sontag provided an expression of this projection dynamic with her statement that whites are a cancer on humanity. Similarly, flyover whites are hate hate hated because of all the propaganda against them.
No it isn’t. It’s just insincere lip service. He doesn’t really regard deplorables as his fellow Americans, he regards them as deplorable. For the next election cycle we have to come up with some strategy to neutralize them somehow. The easiest one of course is to destroy their leader, Trump, and all of Trump’s enablers – Miller, Bannon, Manafort, etc. If we can render the mob leaderless then maybe they will go back to watching football and choosing between pro-immigration Democrats and pro-immigration Republicans as they should.

It’s interesting to wonder whether Kirchick appreciates this.
But he was a young man, and that seemed to be what was important at the New Republic.
So just to be clear, it’s the white supremacist/ Neo-Nazi types who are welcoming this Jewish guy (and his black mentor) into the movement because he agrees with their ideas, and the liberals who are offended on the basis of Miller being a Jew. Doesn’t this seem a little backwards somehow?
But those like Miller who are concerned with the destruction of their communities and eroding of their quality of life by unrestricted immigration are a real force. And one who's legitimate concerns Kirichick and the GOPe have done nothing to address since 1986's weak attempt. And in fact have instead tried to demonize anyone expressing those concerns by trying to depict them as said slack-jawed rounding errors.
All they need to do is stop pretending that they’re right wing.

His dismissal of Millers’ beliefs is pretty insulting – Miller just believes this stuff to fit in with all those mean white bullies.

Very few pictures of Jesus show him with a big schnozz but that would be a pretty fair guess if not one to everyone’s liking.
Additionally, if the Romans thought that the ancient Jews had a distinctive look they would not have shied away from describing it in detail. I think the nose style in your picture of Josephus would be classified "Syrid."
If we're looking for a facsimile of what Jesus might have looked like, why would we think "Ashkenzaic" rather than the more generically Mediterranean looking Mizrahim populations?

The painting is: Dürer, Self-portrait as Christ (1500) Alte Pinakothek, Munich
Albrecht Durer, a modest young fellow, painted himself as Christ. As the Bible reports, God created man in his own image, and man has been returning the favor ever since. Clean-shaven Christs are few and far between, but neither does he ever have a full neck beard, just the nicely trimmed beard and clean cut looks befitting a Virgin-born lad.
Apparently Durer did change his own hair color in order to look more divine, a practice still honored by the current occupant of the White House.

That I knew what that image was the moment I saw it is a testament to my Art History 101 professor. 🙂 I always enjoyed my time in her class.
Of course there are NO REAL portraits of Jesus as he died on the cross (so the Gospel says) on a Good Friday in Roman times prior to the invention of photography and there were no contemporary paintings or sculptures of him or his family, so ALL pictures of Jesus are portraits of models, or just imagined idealizations, however if you ask the average person to draw a picture of Jesus, it will probably be something like the Durer portrait--a white guy with long golden hair, well-proportioned, a full beard and mustache, dressed in robes, not trousers. And a large part of the reason for this is that Dürer's image and similar paintings were very influential in Western Christianity, as your prof probably told you. So yes, this is a picture of Durer in his dressing gown with a stiff finger on the right hand where his paintbrush was airbrushed out, but that was not the intent at the time of painting.Replies: @Jack D, @Old Palo Altan

I like Jews, individually. For most smart gentiles Jews are much more enjoyable company than dumb gentile jocks, or proles, or the old WASP elites earning gentleman’s Cs at the Ivies. But this statement perfectly encapsulates why Jews are a powerful subversive influence literally everywhere they go in the West.
An ethnocentric market-dominant minority will always have some interests different from those of their hosts. They will use their power to serve the interests of their small number of people at the expense of the far greater number of their hosts. Jews are ethnocentric and market-dominant par excellence, so they acquire and use more political power per capita than any other group in human history, and so serve as a staggeringly subversive influence in the West.
As Spock might say, “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.” The 12 million global Jews are causing great harm to the ~600 million members of global Europa because most of them, intrinsically–at an emotional level–share Kirchick’s attitude. He knows “what’s good for the Jews.”

I think it’s more likely that stereotypical Ashkenazic features are the result of founder effects and successive cousin marriage in Eastern European shtetls than resemblances to populations that contributed some genetic admixture much earlier. One wealthy man with a big nose in a small town that practices cousin marriage is going to pass on his big nose to a lot of people.
Additionally, if the Romans thought that the ancient Jews had a distinctive look they would not have shied away from describing it in detail. I think the nose style in your picture of Josephus would be classified “Syrid.”

Isn’t unlimited Muslim immigration bad for just about everyone, including Jews?
I think it also partially explains Israel's leaning towards the Right since the 1970s and the emergence of the working-class hawkish Mizrahi/Sephardi voter who is imbued with a Middle Eastern fatalism concerning human nature (oops, did I just committ an act of Orientalism there?): "Screw the Arabs, we lived among them for centuries and know them well.

I think the crucial sticking point preventing Jews from being embraced as White is the overwhelming evidence that Jews define themselves in active and hostile opposition to the Whites and/or Christians around them. Exceptions exist but their exceptionalism proves the rule. It’s also worth noting the Jews who are exceptions to this rule are almost invariably welcomed by the Goys around them.
Having said that, if an ethnically Jewish individual truly avoids that behavior (and plenty of them do) I think it's silly to cast them out of a pan-European movement. Likewise if a descendant of Thomas Jefferson starts virtue signalling for personal gain or promoting negrophilia he should be kicked to the curb post haste. Hence why I think it is necessary, again in the context of any sort of pan-European movement, to differentiate acting from being Jewish. Of course it is reasonable to assume that people who are Jewish are more likely to act Jewish, and behave accordingly, and applying an even higher standard of loyalty.
Now the obvious rebuttal to this is, why not apply the same reasoning to blacks or any other race? Or heck, to other species? I think there are two basic questions one must ask oneself: first, are you comfortable drawing lines separating an in- and out- group? If so, you must be comfortable that some people who are outside the line are still good, virtuous people, but they are nonetheless not your people. And likewise you will be ashamed of some of your own, but again, they are yours. Troy had Hector as well as Paris. Second, if you are comfortable drawing that line, then where do you draw it? For me, it is drawn around the population in what would have historically been thought of as Christendom; if I were an Austrian in Austria obviously it would be different, but I'm American and the whites are all mixed up here.
Of course, there are whites who do not despise the source of their own being, but these whites 1) don't have power and 2) most of them are still compromised by some commitment to the principles of liberalism of liberty and equality, principles that undermine our civilization whether they realize it or not.
So, I think a more accurate way of viewing the Jews is as uber-whites (it's like Auster and others have remarked: Jews are just like everyone else, except more so).
If the principle of unity of white civilization were still Christianity (or some other non-liberal ideology), then it would make sense to regard Jews as not white. But the principle of unity of Western civilization today (and thus of the white race) is liberalism (which paradoxically destroys all unity). Jews are the quintessential liberals, and so in a sense then, are the quintessential whites.

He does not care. To the extent Jews like Kirchick feel tinges of guilt for what they’re doing, there’s a huge justification industry alleging that whites’ various historical transgressions are inconceivably and uniquely bad, and therefore whites deserve neither empathy nor sympathy.
Susan Sontag provided an expression of this projection dynamic with her statement that whites are a cancer on humanity. Similarly, flyover whites are hate hate hated because of all the propaganda against them.
To paraphrase a designation sometimes applied by the state of Israel, Auster was a Righteous Jew. (His ethnocentrism was still obvious in its purity, despite his adoption of Christianity, but Auster knew who he was.)
One of the best things about Trump is that he trolled the Neocons into saying exactly what they think of Americans: They hate them, as people. For what they are.
Having admitted they hate at least half the country ( Not to mention NPod’s My Negro Problem- And Ours, really the position that made them ‘conservative’ at all), the Neocons are wandering in the desert, no party, no country, no constituency of any kind.
Trump supporters hate them, the far Left hates them even more. May they die of thirst, and their irritating, self-important legacy publications dry up as well.

Abstract
The Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population is important in medical genetics due to its high rate of Mendelian disorders and other unique genetic characteristics. Ashkenazi Jews have appeared in Europe in the 10th century, and their ancestry is thought to involve an admixture of European (EU) and Middle-Eastern (ME) groups. However, both the time and place of admixture in Europe are obscure and subject to intense debate. Here, we attempt to characterize the Ashkenazi admixture history using a large Ashkenazi sample and careful application of new and existing methods. Our main approach is based on local ancestry inference, assigning each Ashkenazi genomic segment as EU or ME, and comparing allele frequencies across EU segments to those of different EU populations. The contribution of each EU source was also evaluated using GLOBETROTTER and analysis of IBD sharing. The time of admixture was inferred using multiple tools, relying on statistics such as the distributions of segment lengths and the total EU ancestry per chromosome and the correlation of ancestries along the chromosome. Our simulations demonstrated that distinguishing EU vs ME ancestry is subject to considerable noise at the single segment level, but nevertheless, conclusions could be drawn based on chromosome-wide statistics. The predominant source of EU ancestry in AJ was found to be Southern European (≈60-80%), with the rest being likely Eastern European. The inferred admixture time was ≈35 generations ago, but multiple lines of evidence suggests that it represents an average over two or more admixture events, pre- and post-dating the founder event experienced by AJ in late medieval times. The time of the pre-bottleneck admixture event was bounded to 25-55 generations ago.Replies: @Anonymous, @utu
I’ve always identified with my race and now refer to myself as a white nationalist or identitarian. And I’ve always identified with Ashkenazi Jews as fellow whites. As far as I’m concerned, race is something you see at a glance, with skin colour obviously playing a big role, even though it is only an indicator of race. Many Europeans can tan darker than many non-Europeans, but don’t change race when they do. Same with albino Africans, who are still black, even when their skin is white.
I was born into an entirely white society, but as that society has over the years become ever more DIVERSE, i.e. non-white, it has made me realise how fundamental race is to any deep and meaningful sense of both personal and group, i.e. genuine national, identity. I have ceased to identify with the British state I am a citizen of, and instead identify with my race.
The state wants us to believe that race is just a “social construct” when in fact it’s the state that is, as well as being an artificial economic and power-political construct. It fears and thus demonises the natural racial and ethnic foundations of genuine nationhood, because it undermines its own, deceitful claim to be a nation.
Britain, like America, is just a mercenary “patron state” deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites and the immense power they wield and abuse.
These are revolutionary ideas, I know, but they are truthful and all that can save us, our race, and civilisation from oblivion. I elaborate on them in my blog: http://philosopherkin.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/political-implications-of-evolutionary.html

Good for Jews is meaningless test now with regard to mass Mestizo and Asian immigration.
Somalis and Haitians and Salvadorian MS13 and Mayas from Chiapas are bad for virtually all Americans because they suck up public resources far in excess of any contribution.
Hard working Indians, Chinese, and Mestizos both lower wages, helping disproportionately Jewish capital at the expense of disproportionately non Jewish labor.
Even that analysis is kind of silly though. Most Jews still need to work for a living and suffer from mass migration like all native Americans. And in my experience, the actual exploiters of low wage immigrant labor in ag, food service, and construction are not especially Jewish. On the other hand, Jew dominated Hollywood enploys a ton of blue collar union white guys at 100-250k a year. Same for finance, which is not out hiring illegals and employs a lot of middle class Americans.
Old middle class Californians like Steve and many Jews, if they purchased their house long ago, are sitting on $500,000 to $1.25 million of unrealized profits. That is a huge benefit from mass migration. But in the mean while they paid high income taxes to support the government since the migrants do not pay. Amd they have mostly lost the old good public schools. While California still has plemty of good neighborhood elementary schools, probably only 5% of high schools in urban areas are free of a large third world element.
Because buying a house in your 20s is now impossible even for young people on upper middle class tracks, the old Californians have lost the ability to have their kids settle down near them. With one kid, you perhaps can help with a home equity loan, but beyond that, they will have to be single renters or leave the state, or at best live in a very distant suburb.
In summary, the winners and losers are questions of wealth, class and age, not which of the increasing blurry white American sub-ethnicity you belong to.
“As a result, they tend to look past the fashy aesthetic of white nationalists.”
I don’t look past it so much as view it within the context of Zionism. Having admitted that I live in a fairly successful fascist state, I don’t begrudge allies having the same inter-generational security. Indeed, I think it’s necessary that they do have this for themselves, lest we both find ourselves up a creek in a world overrun by militant brown hoards.
I think the question of whether I’m “white,” is spurious. That’s only an issue for the diaspora and multi-ethnic nations to figure out. Anyone who feels strongly about their Jewishness should be here in Israel. Anyone who feels strongly about their Whiteness or American Identity should remain where they are and adjust their attitudes accordingly. Being White American, like being a Zionist, brings certain obligations. Miller appears to realize this. G-d bless him.

The image that flashes in our heads when someone asks you “What did Jesus look like?” is much more recent than that. This iconic Jesus portrait:

is from 1940 by commercial artist (hack) Warner Sallman.
Even if you sort of know that this is not what the actual Jesus looked like, it what “Jesus” looks like. Jesus’s nose is so straight that it looks like he drew it with a ruler.
That's not an iconic version. It's very 1940's/1950's, but I wouldn't call it that sort of face that people bring up when they think Jesus.
It is pretty interesting looking at the linear depiction through history of depictions of the J man and seeing how they have tended to resemble the artist and his audience.
In this one Jesus is having a bad day:

Because he’s a former twink and current unwanted fat effeminate fag, he tries way too hard to prove his Jewish bona fides. He hates Putin because Putin has no patience for loony buggerers. He hates Moslems for the same reason. And he wants to destroy America because it failed to protect him from bullying Jewish kids who tormented him as a queer kid.

This is the ironic part – if the tables were turned and Trump and his supporters were blaming his loss on say “a media conspiracy to favor Hillary” (which would have had a million times more truth to it than a Russian conspiracy) , the same “smart people” would be laughing at the ignorant hicks and their readiness to believe in baseless conspiracy theories. “Everyone” would know that Hillary was elected due to an overwhelming wave of popular support for her policies and because Donald Trump is a foul unlikeable man and not because of any conspiracy.
Mass or even significant Third World Immigration is bad for Jews. In particular. And especially. Where are Jews employed? Mostly in Hollywood, New York Finance, the law, and Government/Media. Mass Third World immigration or even significant amounts of Third World immigration creates tremendous pressure to replace elites in ALL of those institutions with Third Worlders.
This is already the thesis of the FT article about Harvey Weinstein by Kate Muir — get rid of “White guys” which Harvey Weinstein is undoubtedly, and all that nastiness disappears.
Kirchick’s argument is one of CLASS, thinly disguised as ethnicity. ANY significant amount of Third World immigration creates the enormous financial drain that Thilo Sarrazin noted, impacting upwardly mobile Jews who cannot now find admittance to key schools like CUNY etc. because of the money being diverted to Third World welfare: food stamps, free apartments, school assistance. Which means less money for CUNY.
Jews are not concerned with immigration for Jews — any Jew who wanted out of Russia has already left. Besides the Jackson-Vanik amendment means preferences for Jews anyway. There IS a huge refugee racket in the West where Lutherans, Catholics, Jewish groups rake off tons of money “sponsoring” rapefugees and pocket most of the money. What a certain class of uber liberal, old(er) money, connected Jewish urbanite in the media and government want is CLASS WARFARE against the deplorables which is raw emotional FEELZ that most White female professionals, non-White AA professionals, etc. all indulge in.
It takes a special kind of idiot to be so addicted to FEELZ that the sugar rush of looking down on other White people takes precedence over both personal (Kirckick is White, and he’ll get Reginald Denny’d down the line just sure as the rest of the Kulaks will) and ethnic (how many Jews in Mexico’s movie industry and government and media and finance?)
Kirchick is just that kind of idiot. Addicted to FEELZ.

From my perch in Sodom & Gomorrah on the Hudson (aka New York City) it appears that Ashkenazim males are definitely coupling with North East Asians. All to the detriment of Ashkenazim females. Whatever Jewish black couplings that one took place are now definitely ancient history.
I had a very nice e-mail exchange with a Jewish American who works in a Mid West Big Ten law school. He tried to do some modest patriotic immigration restriction activism in his academic/Jewish social circles and had no success – we’re talking things like trying to limit Islamic extremists from flooding in to the USA or Europe.
I explained my experience as a Midwestern WASP White guy who lived in New York City, got an MBA from Stern NYU and left immigration anarchy, race/crime anarchy ~ 1990. I went to grad school a block from the World Trade Center which the Islamists bombed in 1993 then destroyed in 2001.
I had lots of Jewish friends and contacts and extensive pretty much mainstream Conservative/GOP experiences.
I found American Jews to be simply bat S*** crazy on the issue of immigration. Sometimes I slip and think there is some hope for improvement in this area, but then I realize there is not.
American Jews are good or very good at many things. They are not good on immigration. They suck – from Emma Lazarus, to Milton Friedman, to Ayn Rand Rosenbaum to Tamar Jacoby to Eric Cantor and every single Jewish Congressman and US Senator that all receive F immigration grades from NumbersUSA – Jews suck on immigration.
That’s life.
I will vote for a crack cocaine Black lowest life like Marrion Barry before I will vote for open borders Lib Left/Neo Conservative Jews.

Kind of like Harry Weinstein’s Hollywood not producing a lot of positive, wholesome, pro American movies coming out at Christmas, instead we get hate White people snuff films like “D’jango Unchained”.
Kirchick is obviously trying to browbeat Miller into toeing the line, annoyingly for him Stephen Miller cares much more about being an American than he does about being a Jew. In Kirchick’s twisted world the two simply do not mix, you’re either a Jew or a patriotic American, you can’t be both. As far as he’s concerned Jews can only be loyal to one nation and that is Israel.
In fact I think that’s the biggest difference between liberal Jews and conservative Jews. Many liberal Jews (like Bernie Sanders) have abandoned Israel (and foolhardily embrace Islam), while many conservative Jews continue to be Israel’s most loyal supporters, like Paul Wolfowitz and Jared Kushner. Liberal Jews buy into the multiculturalism, open borders mantra eyes wide shut because they think it really is better for the world(they drank the kool-aid), while the conservative Jews buy into it eyes wide open because they think it’s what best for Jews.

That’s a shrinking minority. Also, Hollywood is gone. Why? Jews run it now. When the Hays Code and Catholic Decency League ended, so did Hollywood. But we are living in different times because of technology, but that’s a discussion for another day. Jews/blacks/Asians ruin everything. Here’s an interesting list:

Martine/Martin Rothblatt (J) black wife Bina Aspen; magician David Blaine offspring of black Puerto Rican father/Ashkenazi mother; Matt Stone Jewish (South Park) has a black wife;
Geraldo Rivera offspring of black Puerto Rican father/Ashkenazi mother; Rita Moreno black Puerto Rican J husband Leonard Gordon;

Diana Ross black first husband Robert Silberstein; Ronnie Spector black singer married Jewish Jonathan Greenfield; Mirelle Fanon black Jewish husband Bernard Mendes;
Rula Jebreal black Muslim Jewish husband Arthur G. Altshul Jr.; Michelle Malkin, Amy Chua Asians with Jewish husbands; George Soros, Woody Allen, Mark Zuckerberg,
Les Moonves, Jeff Greene, Oliver Stone, all Jews with Asian wives. These are famous people, the tip of the iceberg. Where I live many Jews are married to blacks and Asians
and they are not famous. Interesting how there are no “shiksa” jokes about these blacks/Asians.
Your “mischlings” are outliers. And if they’re being raised Jewish, your grandnieces and nephews will very likely look like Obummer’s “sons” and Mark Zuckerberg’s daughters.
Also, I’ve been to Israel (went for Christmas). There are some really dark Israelis out there.
Weinstein is over 65 so he has a Philip Roth mentality. But his kids will be very different. If Weinstein wants to find a woman to make him happy, a black/Asian woman is the ticket. Ever since Woody Allen married his Korean he’s calmed down.
At one point I saw Kirchik on Twitter saying something to the effect that in light of Trump’s election he ‘understood what it was like to be a German Jew in 1933.’ That’s narcissistic personality disorder-level delusion.

To the extent Italians look like Jews–which they sometimes can in the lips/nose/eye department–it’s because of Moorish admixture. Same reason Sicilians are so much darker than Milanese. (Some might also suggest that the African admixture is the source of southern Italy’s relative social dysfunction and clannishness.)
An example of a Moor:
What Lionel Trilling meant
And how often did Lionel get assaulted on his way home from work?
Or “Jamie”, for that matter.
I don't know if Trilling was ever literally "mugged by reality," but he is probably as close as you can get to being a textbook neoconservative without being a self-identified one. Except that I don't think he was ever a Trotskyite. He was a mainstream liberal or left-liberal, anti-Stalinist, Jewish, New York Intellectual contributor to Partisan Review who turned against the New Left in his last years.
Ashkenazi men are, like black men, outmarrying at higher rates than their women. To the extent Ashkenazi women outmarry it’s often to a black or other non-white, rather than a hated Teutonic. (Men to whites/Asians, usually, unless they’re particularly unattractive like Krugman.)
Indeed, ever since the Ashkenazi started 1000 years ago, virtually all of their European blood has come from gentile women rather than gentile men.
Paul Krugman is married to a negress.
I hope those boobs in the League of the South have the sense to read Ann Corcoran before they start talking about refugee resettlement in Tennessee at the WHITE LIVES MATTER rally. We’re all boobs compared to the great Ann Corcoran when it comes to knowledge about the REFUGEE OVERLOAD issue.
Stephen Miller should fight to completely stop all refugee resettlement into the United States.
REFUGEE OVERLOAD increases housing costs, lowers wages, swamps schools and overwhelms hospitals.
REFUGEE OVERLOAD brings Islamic terrorism, multicultural mayhem and infectious diseases to the United States.
There is again nothing altruistic about what these churches are doing. It’s all about money. Obama appropriated tens of millions to the churches to “sponsor” muslim refugees and illegals, and Paul Ryan expanded the program as a way to funnel millions of tax dollars to his beloved Catholic church. These churches would not have been so eager to sponsor the refugees if it weren’t such a lucrative business for them. The Lutheran church’s sponsoring of Somalis is one major reason why I stopped going to church.

Putin is not the devil. It’s utterly stupid for the US to pick a fight with Putin. When it comes to the MidEast, Putin is on the right side. The entire Mideast war now is between Shiites and Sunnis, Assad and Iran(Shiite) is fighting for supremacy with Saudi Arabia(Sunni) in the Islamic world. Syria and Iran are not the bad guys. When was the last time a Shiite Muslim committed terror against the west? 99% of Islamic terror are committed by Sunnis.
Saudi Arabia is the real enemy, the real sponsor of world terror. In the 90s the Saudis poured hundreds of millions of oil money into building madrassas around the world, radicalizing Sunni muslims the world over from Asia to Africa to all over the Mideast.
Trump’s fixation on Iran defies logic and reason. He is acting solely on behalf of Israel courtesy of Jared Kushner, nothing more. Iran has no beef with the US. The hostage crisis was all about them booting a pro-US dictator who wanted to sell oil to the US on the cheap. They wanted us out of their country because we support Israel, their arch enemy, they don’t want us destroyed or dead. Their beef is with Israel, not the US. Saudi Arabia and the ISIS, Al Qaeda that they support actually do want us dead because we’re the infidels.
Jews turning on one another. Things are really getting strange.
Unlike our side, they go after their own in a way that keeps the heat on the enemy. Miller, for instance, isn't so much called out for being a dirty, underhanded backstabber. It's more about how awful and terrible and declasse are "white supremacists.
The retort to everything: Is it good for the Jews?

The majority of US immigration today is from Latin America and East/South Asia. Pakistanis are not yet that prominent, though they would be if H. Clinton had stolen the election and signed the TiSA treaty.
But the majority of immigration to Europe is coming from the Middle East, the non-EU Muslim Balkans, North Africa, and increasingly from sub-Saharan Africa. Most sources are Muslim, with a minority of Black African Christians.
An Islamist government is near impossible to emerge from the former, unless you want to call the Venezuelan Vice President with Hezbollah ties an omen. But it is highly likely to emerge from the latter, as Islamist political parties hold offices in some EU countries.
From Kirchick's, and his community's perspective, the leading threat is that Middle America elects a Viktor Orban-style government backed up by a Jobbik-style opposition party.Replies: @notanon
that is probably what they believe and it’s probably true in the short term but i don’t think they yet realize that the Muslim refugee population will increase very rapidly via arranged marriages or that non-Muslim south Asians will probably be their most effective competitors (due to similar combination of verbal IQ and nepotism).
Looks like a junkie who was given a bath and a meal in exchange for posing! Yes, that is a kind of sentimentalized Jesus with overhead spotlights who avoids eye contact with the soul, but even so, he looks like a direct genetic descendant of the Durer-Jesus of almost 500 years earlier at the time that Jesus was naturalized.

Pakis are in most ways the worst of both - they have the caste intermarriage of the Indian subcontinent and the cousin marriage of the Middle East. Not surprisingly, they are an especially deformed ethnicity. The Gulf Arabs (who have been geographically isolated for a long time) are almost as ugly and deformed looking.
As for Jews, the best looking Jews are the Israelis and the Mid Eastern Jews. They're not super smart like the Euro Ashkenazis, but they often look good. Especially the Israeli women, who are pretty and femme fatales.

Stephen Miller isn’t even close, just another Court Jew willing to sell out his own for scraps from the table. In 3 years, nobody will remember the name Stephen Miller.

Hence sociopaths like Weinstein (and, as Emma

and other dark triad characters that Hollywood seems to attract
are not the only reason to steer clear of Hollywood
products. Unfortunately, it seems like in recent years

Every race seems to have the “right” to create race/gender-based exclusionary constructs (schools, student unions, business councils, countries) with the exception of White Males who must allow integration to all of their organizations – public and private. Not seeing the hypocrisy in that thought pattern is what is so “icky” ….

The Time and Place of European Admixture in the Ashkenazi Jewish History

Abstract
The Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population is important in medical genetics due to its high rate of Mendelian disorders and other unique genetic characteristics. Ashkenazi Jews have appeared in Europe in the 10th century, and their ancestry is thought to involve an admixture of European (EU) and Middle-Eastern (ME) groups. However, both the time and place of admixture in Europe are obscure and subject to intense debate. Here, we attempt to characterize the Ashkenazi admixture history using a large Ashkenazi sample and careful application of new and existing methods. Our main approach is based on local ancestry inference, assigning each Ashkenazi genomic segment as EU or ME, and comparing allele frequencies across EU segments to those of different EU populations. The contribution of each EU source was also evaluated using GLOBETROTTER and analysis of IBD sharing. The time of admixture was inferred using multiple tools, relying on statistics such as the distributions of segment lengths and the total EU ancestry per chromosome and the correlation of ancestries along the chromosome. Our simulations demonstrated that distinguishing EU vs ME ancestry is subject to considerable noise at the single segment level, but nevertheless, conclusions could be drawn based on chromosome-wide statistics. The predominant source of EU ancestry in AJ was found to be Southern European (≈60-80%), with the rest being likely Eastern European. The inferred admixture time was ≈35 generations ago, but multiple lines of evidence suggests that it represents an average over two or more admixture events, pre- and post-dating the founder event experienced by AJ in late medieval times. The time of the pre-bottleneck admixture event was bounded to 25-55 generations ago.
I think that Jews will be caught between two fires: Conservatives and Nationalists fed up with the aggressive hostility of many Jews towards the West, its peoples, cultures and Christianity, and the Left, who see them as “Uber-white.” Good guys such as Stephen Miller, Paul Gottfried and our host with the most Ron Unz will be caught inbetween, too.

The same applies for brains. The NYTimes just had this piece about a blue collar factory worker who was losing her job because her plant was moving to Mexico. She sounded like she was from the lower end of the working class and had made many poor decisions in her life. (For example, despite making $25/hr she had no savings because she really enjoyed shopping.) It struck me that this woman would have had a better life if she had another 10 or 15 IQ points. Even if she still had the same job, the rest of her life would have been less chaotic if she had the better judgment that comes with being a little bit smarter. We see this all the time with the decisions that black people make.

Of course Jews are white. Being a Jew is a religion and you can convert to it, like Trump’s daughter. Is she not white? There is no way you can tell people are Jews except sometimes, but not always, by surnames like Cohen, Goldstein, Disraeli, or Borat unless you see them wearing a skullcap, exiting a synagogue, or burning candles on Friday evening.
Obviously there is a hereditary component to being a Jew, just like Anglicanism tends to be hereditary, but there are black and white Anglicans, so no sure way to identify Anglicans by appearance.
In the days of the Roman empire various communities scattered around the Mediterranean adopted Judaism, but when Christianity, an offshoot of Judaism became the official state religion, they had to play second fiddle for the most part, and were cut out of the whole feudal system in mediaeval times. Most of the Jews of today are not genetic descendants of the People of Israel of the Old Testament or the Scribes and Pharisees of the New, just like most Christians are not descended from the Apostles.
Do we really need to even discuss this?
However, ancient Judaism was destroyed with the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. Major features of it, such as animal sacrifice, a dedicated, inherited Priestly class, acknowledged prophets, and Temple focus worship literally vaporized in that moment.
One could say with some sound arguments that today's orthodox Judaism is Christianity without Christ. That's the only way they could regroup as culture after the Temple destruction. Likewise, while Catholicism has some parallel but not quite the same features of ancient Judaism, obviously the whole of Christianity has survived even without most of what Catholicism preserved of ancient Judaism.
I've argued in past that Christianity broke paganism - it also seems to have broken Judiasm, which is why it's important to be careful of "offshoot". Judeo-Christian isn't a real thing. That term only pops up about the time the West starts into it's decay in the late 19th century. Aposotic succession has nothing to do with DNA. In fact, the whole point is to detach the priestly class from any inherited status so that it might be available to the whole world. From a literal DNA point of view, I agree with you. There's no way to avoid the Caucasianness of Jews. It's dumb in that sense.
However, given what they're speaker is usually trying to drive at by that observation, it makes perfect sense. There is indeed a sub-group of easily identifiable by ethnic heritage Caucasians who undermine not just the racial, but the entire identity of the West. They tend to identify as whites until the moment when they freak out and suddenly are talking about their bar mitvahs.
You can see it here, even in this little microcosm of iSteve. I've got a self-educated background in most of the history and theology they tend to pick on, so it's easier for me to counter. But for the public at large, they're screwed. They speak with some authority and it sounds almost right. Meanwhile, the governing gentile elites, whose history is being warped, have checked out to be fat and wealthy.
And what's worse, is that even when some pleb like me calls them out on it, they don't change their tune. I've only been here for a short a time, but even in that time span, secular Jews will take their marbles and go home before reconsidering their positions.
In other words, I get the whole "but they're not white" argument even if I don't use it myself. It's the sum of set of complex arguments, spoken in a rhetorical language.Replies: @Karl
Most Jews are absolutely genetic descendants of the People of Israel. The only exceptions are pretty much single generation converts. We have the DNA on this. (Ashkenazi seem to be about half.)
And yes, i'm pretty sure--the odds overwhelmingly in favor--that i'm descended from any Apostles who have surviving descendants, and seeded their children in the Roman Empire. If you mean primary or significant descent from the Apostles, then sure, of course not--i'm going to be mostly descended from Celts and Germans like most American whites. But i'm descended from almost *everyone* who was in Western Europe say 1000 years ago and left surviving descendants and it is certain that several of those people were descendants of Apostles who preached and dropped kids in the Roman Empire.

From the POV of White Nationalists, the answer to the question is easy: jewishness is both, i.e. it's either/or. IOW:

After this slimy little sex pervert’s well-funded activities against Russia and other nations that are trying to keep body and soul together – including his famous but failed attempt to embarrass and/or destroy Russia Today – I wouldn’t give a plug nickel to read anything this disgusting twerp had to say.

“Nevermind Jews” ??
You wish.
The point that is being made in the national debate is that these people have the same genetic potential as the Europeans that came through Ellis Island. The problem is that you cannot point out that this is empirically proven to be untrue and those masses of people have relatively low levels of intelligence – you’ll be removed from polite society. HBD arguments are logical, coherent and statistically correct, but it is not ammunition that can be used without destroying one’s public life.
So, the narrative we must present is that of national solvency. Point out the historical record of ethnic hatred developing in essentially every single multi-cultural nation and demonstrate how these countries have inherently failed. Mention every single example of these facts in the past and the present. Yugoslavia, the Ottoman Empire, Iraq, Brazil, Lebanon, Myanmar, etc etc etc.
Obviously, one counter-example doesn’t rebuke or refute anything.
Hey, here’s a new idea: untrammeled immigration will turn a First World country into a hellhole.
I would like to see a survey on this. I suspect more American Jews think of their race as white than not. I was definitely raised to think of myself as white and that Judaism is a religion and ethnic group but not a seperate race much less a non-white race. I’m not saying there aren’t any Jews who don’t think they are white but I would guess they are in the minority.
> Jews support open borders as a matter of principle. They would still support this even if immigrants were all blond blue-eyed potential Nazis.
I’ll believe this on the day that the possibility of Afrikaaner immigration comes within the Overton window.
> Whether he is a “white nationalist,” as many now call him, or not, Miller remains in essence the campus provocateur of his Duke days. …
> At Yale (me) and Duke (him), both of us wrote provocative newspaper columns that scandalized the campus and occasionally brought us national attention.
> Miller went the Ann Coulter-Rush Limbaugh-red-blooded outrage route, penning bombshell columns for the Duke Chronicle, which, according to the paper’s editor, were “low stakes but high offense.”
Kirchick forgets to mention what, exactly, earned Miller his acclaim as a writer at Duke. That was the Durham, NC’s low stakes but high offense [sic] campaign to jail three Duke lacrosse players for raping a black woman, enthusiastically supported by Duke’s administration, many faculty, many students, and the national SJW community. Miller’s was one of the very few voices in favor of Due Process and decency. The circus lost interest and left town when it turned out that, unfortunately, no crime had been committed and the players were thus innocent.
In his superior Ivy League journalism, Mr. Kirchick was much braver, and about higher-stakes issues. But he forgot to mention those, too.
Libertarians are for open borders so he should like Ron/Rand Paul on that regard.
The only reason any RINO like Kirchick would not like Ron Paul is because they are also neocons who want to get involved in every other country’s business on behalf of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Military Industrial Complex. Ron/Rand Paul just want America to leave everyone else the heck alone, which I totally agree with. It’s too bad they are also for open borders, which makes them unelectable to me.
RINO/neocons got their president, Jared Kushner. Trump is America’s first Jewish president.
It was people as sheltered-from-race-realism as you are, who called Bill Clinton "America's First Black President".

Obviously there is a hereditary component to being a Jew, just like Anglicanism tends to be hereditary, but there are black and white Anglicans, so no sure way to identify Anglicans by appearance.
In the days of the Roman empire various communities scattered around the Mediterranean adopted Judaism, but when Christianity, an offshoot of Judaism became the official state religion, they had to play second fiddle for the most part, and were cut out of the whole feudal system in mediaeval times. Most of the Jews of today are not genetic descendants of the People of Israel of the Old Testament or the Scribes and Pharisees of the New, just like most Christians are not descended from the Apostles.
Do we really need to even discuss this?Replies: @AM, @AnotherDad, @TipTipTopKek, @Karl
Christianity is and is not an offshoot of Judaism. Yes, it would not exist without ancient Judaism. I show up to Mass and listen to a lot of Jewish prophets each week. No avoiding that basic observation.
However, ancient Judaism was destroyed with the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. Major features of it, such as animal sacrifice, a dedicated, inherited Priestly class, acknowledged prophets, and Temple focus worship literally vaporized in that moment.
One could say with some sound arguments that today’s orthodox Judaism is Christianity without Christ. That’s the only way they could regroup as culture after the Temple destruction. Likewise, while Catholicism has some parallel but not quite the same features of ancient Judaism, obviously the whole of Christianity has survived even without most of what Catholicism preserved of ancient Judaism.
I’ve argued in past that Christianity broke paganism – it also seems to have broken Judiasm, which is why it’s important to be careful of “offshoot”. Judeo-Christian isn’t a real thing. That term only pops up about the time the West starts into it’s decay in the late 19th century.
Aposotic succession has nothing to do with DNA. In fact, the whole point is to detach the priestly class from any inherited status so that it might be available to the whole world.
From a literal DNA point of view, I agree with you. There’s no way to avoid the Caucasianness of Jews. It’s dumb in that sense.
However, given what they’re speaker is usually trying to drive at by that observation, it makes perfect sense. There is indeed a sub-group of easily identifiable by ethnic heritage Caucasians who undermine not just the racial, but the entire identity of the West. They tend to identify as whites until the moment when they freak out and suddenly are talking about their bar mitvahs.
You can see it here, even in this little microcosm of iSteve. I’ve got a self-educated background in most of the history and theology they tend to pick on, so it’s easier for me to counter. But for the public at large, they’re screwed. They speak with some authority and it sounds almost right. Meanwhile, the governing gentile elites, whose history is being warped, have checked out to be fat and wealthy.
And what’s worse, is that even when some pleb like me calls them out on it, they don’t change their tune. I’ve only been here for a short a time, but even in that time span, secular Jews will take their marbles and go home before reconsidering their positions.
In other words, I get the whole “but they’re not white” argument even if I don’t use it myself. It’s the sum of set of complex arguments, spoken in a rhetorical language.
Not exactly. Even as you read this, people are spending money trying to find a kosher Red Heifer. The "Temple Institute" has constructed a basically complete set of the garments and furnishings needed to re-establish animal sacrifice.
Your ability to marry into this-or-that ultra-Orthodox sect, depends on how well (inter alia) versed you are on the details of the old ceremonies.

Full article by Andrea Thomas at MSN news.
Paul Gottfried has commented on the parochialism of most American Jews hailing from Eastern Europe : it’s like their vision of what is Jewish is limited to their own particular fold. Thus Cossacks and Stormtroopers (i.e., White Christians) are the imminent threat to guard against. Muslims, once they touch the magical soil of America, become defanged, apparently.
The likes of Kirkchick don’t seem to have any great insight into why say, French Jews living in Marseille, whose parents fled Algeria in the 50s/60s in fear of Arabs exacting for their perceived loyalty to Mother France, are now stuck in French housing projects only to find the children of their Arab tormentors have followed them across the Med, and well, living among these people in Multi-culti France is a daily hell. Kirchick writes as if this could never happen in America, since if the browning of America would not necessarily be of an Islamic hue, US Jews need not fear. But Kirchick shows remarkable confidence that the People of Color/Coalition of the Fringers banner will not adopt the foreign policy mores of its Arab and Muslim component. Does he really want to do a poll among Guatemalans and find out which side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict they favor?
And as to this notion of Steve Miller being obligated to favor immigration because his gramps benefited from a liberal influx policy prior to 1924, Kirchick doesn’t follow his argument to its proper conclusion: it’s precisely because America is among the most PhiloSemitic countries that US Jews should not want to see the character of that country change. Miller seems to get the Marseille factor. For Kirchick, American exceptionalism will spare his descendents this scenario.
He’s a patriot. Plenty of Jewish people favor reducing immigration. That doesn’t make them a white nationalist. Don’t most Jewish people favor reducing immigration?
It’s a disaster for the Sephardic Jews of France who thought they’d escaped these nutjobs by quitting North Africa in the 1950s and 60s. Now pretty much every episode you see of anti-Jewish violence or harrassment in France is at the hands of young Muslim delinquents.
I think it also partially explains Israel’s leaning towards the Right since the 1970s and the emergence of the working-class hawkish Mizrahi/Sephardi voter who is imbued with a Middle Eastern fatalism concerning human nature (oops, did I just committ an act of Orientalism there?): “Screw the Arabs, we lived among them for centuries and know them well. They hate us. The moment we show weakness, they’ll destroy us.”
Such people would probably look upon Jamie Kirchick as ridiculously naïve.

Well, if Israel helped out White Zuid Afrika in the 1970s …
American Jews can be Jewish White Supremacist; it’s called Zionism.
Lots of Zionists are spokesmen for “anti-racism” and “egalitarianism,” but they’d never have gentiles as members of Israel. Even funnier, they get along with all the other Zionists just fine. In fact, they get along with all the “anti-racists” and “egalitarians” just fine, too; just ask any “anti-racist” or “egalitarian” in the US Congress, he’ll tell you how much he loves (Zionist) Israel, how big a friend he is to the (Zionist) Israel Lobby.
Political pluralism, openness to new ideas, and respect for religious differences have nothing to do with immigration policy, per se. It doesn’t have anything to do with openness to new people, either; I like meeting new people, but I don’t invite them to live in my home. Very few people pushing immigration sanity would reject the handful of geniuses applying to become US citizens.
Safer for Jews is really all the guy is worried about. Imagine someone who is so much more worried about his own safety than yours, that he’d let you get run over by a bus, if it meant saving himself from getting a hangnail. That’s pretty much where Jews have been politically for as long as anyone can remember. The term for this is “Jewish Supremacy.”
“Jewish conspiracy” is a term coined and used by anti-white racists. Nobody else uses it. But the idea that, say, the Lufthansa heist wasn’t an Italian conspiracy, because one of the cops investigating it was Italian, is pretty funny.
The idea that only Jews can be rootless cosmopolitans seems rather anti-semitic to me.
If I ever get indicted, I’m going to babble something about how the charges are the same that were falsely hurled against my ancestors in the days of yore. Ergo, his honor must declare a mistrial. Something like that. I’ll be praying for a Jewish judge, obviously.
You know you’re kicking a Jew’s ass when he tries to throw you on the shrink couch.

Our current insane-asylum immigration regime didn’t come into being until 1965. From 1924 until 1965, we had sane immigration policy, and little need for immigration-restrictionist politicians (in dopey goyim political land, I mean).
Huh? This is not remotely “conservative”. Does Kirchick even know what “conservative” means?
The hint is the “conserve” root. At root, it’s about conserving your culture and people.
Yeah, new ideas on the margins–but conservatism inherently makes the claim that one’s accumulated traditions–example say “marriage”–“work” and are “right” at least for your particular people. You can perhaps be conservative and think it’s fine to bring in new individuals–selected for their value and non-rock-the-boatness. But brining in “new people”–as Kirchick means it as “new peoples”– simply can’t be “conservative” in any meaningful sense of the term. Rather it is radical and destabilizing–anti-conservative.
Kirchick might well be a “Jewish conservative”–interested in conserving the Jewish people. But he certainly isn’t an “American conservative” interested in conserving the American people.
Even if this is true (doubtful) a lot of these goals are in tension with each other – you can have some of them but not all of them. Ethnically diverse countries (see Spain right now) are NOT politically pluralistic – people tend to vote in blocs by their ethnicity – Catalans vote for the Catalan party, French speakers in Quebec vote for the Quebec Party, etc. (Blacks vote for the Black Party – i.e. the Democrats). Being open to new people means being LESS open to new ideas – in order to avoid chaos you have to try to force the new people to buy into the existing ideas. Or the new ideas that they bring with them from back home (Islamism, Communism, etc.) are really BAD ideas. Being ethnically diverse may mean being LESS tolerant of religious differences – Muslims see religious tolerance as a
one way street.
~~
Diversity is the health of the state.
What diversity means socially and politically is fragmentation and an empowered super-state running around policing and soothing ethnic conflicts and grievances. This appeals to the left but is an anathema to those who desire the traditional Anglo-Saxon ideas of personal liberty.

Also I think it’s a damn fine thing that back in the day, Americans were accurately assessing the skill sets of my Irish ancestors.
Actually … it wasn’t even that long ago. Back when my brother and I were chronically getting in trouble in school, my pastor, Father Felix (German American like most of the Cincinnati clergy), told my mother (converted Anglo-German protestant) that it was the “Irish in your boys” that was the problem.
Fifty years back, even just reasonably intelligent people, understood HBD! Now it’s thought crime.
I forgot to mention that Stephen Miller is the world’s foremost Righteous Jew.
I love saying that, not least because it annoys anti-anti-Semites.
I can’t think of a better reason to get involved in the political process.
Jews are much worse than Minnesota Lutherans or Episcopalians. Perhaps more to the point, the latter are my people (one lacking any representation, quite unlike Jews), and their genetic and cultural interests are being harmed far more by immigration lunacy than Jews’ interests are. Finally, neither group is hardened against persuasion, or weaponized against Whites; Jews are.
All of that said, the plan is to steamroll whatever Whites get in our way, too. The real difference is we expect most of them to join us before that becomes necessary. Really I expect Jews to do the same, but they’ll probably need a foot to get flattened first.
Yeah; the ongoing coup we’ve seen against Trump must be a Jewish Conspiracy.
I’ve met a few, and they all seem to spend more time policing Whites for antisemitism than they do actually working for our team.
It doesn’t matter. Supporting both non-Jewish immigration to Israel and open borders in the US is still hypocritical; Israel isn’t taking her medicine.

I realize that our chattering classes are essentially inumerate. Even if they were able to score 700+ on their math SAT to avoid getting screened out of the Ivy League … they simply do not think mathematically or logically, they think “poetically” or something.
Nonetheless do none of these folks ever bother to think through what a “liberal immigration regime” means? “Immigration” in the we-let-you-disembark-and-trot-into-our-nation is a deeply *un-natural* thing. The norm for mass movements of people into another territory is … conquest. And that’s basically what was going on the first 100 years or so of US history. Europeans were completing a conquest of America from the natives. Anglo-Americans allowing more people like themselves–or “close enough”–sped things up. Whether it was actually wise to allow some of these “close-enoughs” like my Irish ancestors is debateable. But that’s what it was–conquest and settlement by whites of the native’s land. (Same for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, etc.)
Allowing mass immigration as a thing separate from conquest makes absolutely no mathematical or logical sense. It must mean one of a few things:
–> The continual flow of immigrants gradually replaces your children and descendants genetically–i.e. your own genetic depletion–genocide.
–> You are using the immigrants as a slave class, imposing wretched conditions on them or otherwise not allowing them to reproduce and replace you. (Not happening.)
–> Both the native and the immigrant populations keep growing and growing until your nation becomes so crowded, dysfunctional and shitty that immigrants no longer want to come and the flow stops on its own.
What we’re getting is some combination of the 1st and the 3rd.
You can slice and dice the above finer, but fundamentally those are the only options. It’s basic logic and math.
This whole “nation of immigrants” thing as an *ongoing* process that Kirchick and his ilk keep pushing and pushing and pushing is nothing but either outright genocide of the native population, and or–stealing the birthright of the natives–by making the nation so god-awful crowded that it is shittier than the rest of the world and no one wants to come.
You can take your point too far. If the US allowed no immigration after the Revolution it would be a really empty place and would not be the world power that it is.
You can argue that it's crowded enough now, but by the population density standards of other countries, it's still pretty empty. And not just 3rd world places like China but even by Euro standards.
I don't buy into "none is too many". The US really has an opportunity to skim the best and brightest from a lot of countries and do it in a way that would make us all better off. Brin, Musk, Wang, etc. - you'd be nuts not to want these guys playing for your team. With a change in culture, we could get these guys pulling in the right direction. We did it before. For example, Irving Berlin was 100% pro-American. He was Jewish but didn't filter everything he did thru "is it good for the Jews". He did what was good for America, his beloved adopted country that gave him everything. Even many of the old Hollywood moguls operated that way, if for no other reason than they cared more about the bottom line than about Jewish causes.

If I had time, I'd like to make a Citizenist pastiche of John Lennon's Imagine about your vision of America's future with Bizarro Brin and Bizarro Musk. No, we didn't. We didn't change the culture before, it was just different. Cultural change is affected by historical circumstances. You can't just change it with a plunk of your magic twanger.
For example, in 1790 the US census counted about 3.8 million people, of which about 17 percent were slaves. In 1830 the US census counted about 12.8 million people, of which about 15.5 percent were slaves. That's over 230 percent in increase in just 40 years driven almost entirely by existing stock.
This period coincided with a great lull in immigration to the USA. Immigration did not pick up until the 1830s. BTW, by 1850 the US census reported over 23 million people which is almost a 500% increase in just 60 years since the first census. Although immigration had sped up in the 1830s, most of this growth was still from existing stock. So the population seemed to be growing rapidly before immigration kicked into overdrive.
You and I wouldn't be here but it would be a fine place.
And yes, it would still have been and would be the world's leading power. The Anglo-Saxons have punched well above their weight in terms of science, technology, invention. It just wouldn't be as lopsided as it was with the extra folks It's not empty with regards to the world now. The east coast area has a population density that's at the EU level. India and China are two of the worlds ancient civilizations and have been the most populous for at least a couple millennia. Compared to most of the world the US is on the "populated" side not the "empty" side.
And of course by world historical standards the current US is very well populated. Even it's traditional appeal of having "cheap land" and housing has vanished for the coastal areas during my lifetime. You have to be deep in flyover country to find truly "cheap housing" in the US anymore. (And forget about cheap farmland. No kid can buy a farm anymore and make it--support a family. You need to inherit your farm.) Again no. Musk is an interesting guy, pushing--some--stuff in some interesting directions. Perfectly happy without Brin and Wang. People generally wildly overrate the contributions of these silicon valley types. The revolution was in hardware capability. The rest has been taking advantage. Absent Brin ... we'd have someone else's search engine. Big deal. Brin coming here has been great for Brin, it's been close to irrelevant for the rest of us and the US economy.
Jews tend to wildly overestimate immigrant and their own contributions as critical. There are a few unique individuals--Fermi's a guy i'm glad we got over here. Teller too. But fundamentally their whole "immigrants-are-amazing" story is precisely backwards.
It is the *US* that makes the immigrant a success, not the immigrant that makes the US a success.
The US is--was--a free, prosperous, peaceful, nation of Anglo-Saxon culture and a highly competent, intelligent western-European population ... and a huge internal market. Of course, a bunch of smart, people who immigrated here found great success. But if they aren't here, the US is doing just fine with its very large pool of native white talent--Franklin, Whitney, Fulton, McCormick, Morse, Deere, Edison, the Wrights, Boeing, Ford, Shockley, Bardeen, Brattain, etc. etc. etc. Basically coming here allows the immigrant to play in a bigger, rich field and perhaps grab some success that would otherwise go to some natives. And in rare cases make some real advance here that the natives wouldn't have gotten to for a while. But it's the immigrant who is being improved--by leaving somewhere where his talents are more constrained, for a place that functions really well. The US continues to function really well regardless ... until immigration drags it down, as is happening now.
Also, I don't have this idea that every single last smart creative person and invention has to be in the US. It's a big world. They can invent their great inventions over there--that's fine. It's much, much, much ... much, much, much more important to continue to be "the US", with our Anglo-Saxon culture than it is to rope in every last smart person.
Heck we could pack every smart Chinese over here. But living with a nation full of Yan Shen's ... who they heck would want that! That's hideous. I want to live in the USofA--part of the West, not the East.
What’s good or bad for Jews, and for Israel, has been the cornerstone of American policy since the 1950s or even earlier.
Operation Nickel Grass, wherein the US massively resupplied Israel during the '73 war, was the big turning point. The big motivator was that the Soviets were backing the Arabs so the US picked the anti-Soviet side.
People didn’t have to worry about PC, that’s for sure. I think it makes a lot of sense that you should be able to discriminate in terms of who you want to bring into your home.

Apparently.
Most Jews are absolutely genetic descendants of the People of Israel. The only exceptions are pretty much single generation converts. We have the DNA on this. (Ashkenazi seem to be about half.)
And yes, i’m pretty sure–the odds overwhelmingly in favor–that i’m descended from any Apostles who have surviving descendants, and seeded their children in the Roman Empire. If you mean primary or significant descent from the Apostles, then sure, of course not–i’m going to be mostly descended from Celts and Germans like most American whites. But i’m descended from almost *everyone* who was in Western Europe say 1000 years ago and left surviving descendants and it is certain that several of those people were descendants of Apostles who preached and dropped kids in the Roman Empire.
Math is your friend.

Specifically, they are descended from Jewish males (maybe a small group of them) that left Palestine and intermarried with local females in the Roman Empire. The same thing that you see in Mexico – most Mexicans (other than the Indios and the 100% Euro Lebanese, etc.) have Spanish blood but mainly on the paternal side.

It”s not clear any of the original apostles had direct genetic descendants. They all lived Christ’s life and only one died an old man. Apostolic succession is handled by usually by chaste men ordaining other chaste men. It was all a little dicer in the early church, so some ordained apostles may have had families.

The problem with your immigration stance is that it’s based on a fantasy of what could be–we ought to change our immigration policy in the concrete, now, because of a possibly possible (or possibly not possible) future, you say. And in fact your possibly possible future is not actually a future, it’s an alternate reality present–a Citizenist Bizarro World–which is not possible, which is even worse.

Why should they have a right to Palestine?
No it hasn’t. Up until the ’60s, Israel’s biggest ally (who armed them with jets and nuclear reactors) was France, not the US. The US State Dept. was filled with a lot of old school Arabists who were not really that wild about Jews.
Operation Nickel Grass, wherein the US massively resupplied Israel during the ’73 war, was the big turning point. The big motivator was that the Soviets were backing the Arabs so the US picked the anti-Soviet side.

It's a sad spectacle.
It’s curious. I hear Jews in the US often refer to themselves in opposition to “white” people, and frequently include themselves in the category of “persons of color”. One often hears that the acceptance of Jews, Italians, and Irish into “whiteness” is only a recent phenomenon. I’ve always found this identification of Jews with “oppressed persons of color” fairly cynical and opportunistic, but it also shows the very different meanings of “white” and “not-white” in the US and Europe.
You’re seeing the glass half empty. It’s just as likely that Jews will be seen as white-enough by whites and non-white-enough by non-whites and will enjoy a position of influence among both.

That is not true. So long as the US had bountiful land and resources, it would have supported a higher growth rate among its existing population.
For example, in 1790 the US census counted about 3.8 million people, of which about 17 percent were slaves. In 1830 the US census counted about 12.8 million people, of which about 15.5 percent were slaves. That’s over 230 percent in increase in just 40 years driven almost entirely by existing stock.
This period coincided with a great lull in immigration to the USA. Immigration did not pick up until the 1830s.
BTW, by 1850 the US census reported over 23 million people which is almost a 500% increase in just 60 years since the first census. Although immigration had sped up in the 1830s, most of this growth was still from existing stock. So the population seemed to be growing rapidly before immigration kicked into overdrive.

The Time and Place of European Admixture in the Ashkenazi Jewish History

Abstract
The Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population is important in medical genetics due to its high rate of Mendelian disorders and other unique genetic characteristics. Ashkenazi Jews have appeared in Europe in the 10th century, and their ancestry is thought to involve an admixture of European (EU) and Middle-Eastern (ME) groups. However, both the time and place of admixture in Europe are obscure and subject to intense debate. Here, we attempt to characterize the Ashkenazi admixture history using a large Ashkenazi sample and careful application of new and existing methods. Our main approach is based on local ancestry inference, assigning each Ashkenazi genomic segment as EU or ME, and comparing allele frequencies across EU segments to those of different EU populations. The contribution of each EU source was also evaluated using GLOBETROTTER and analysis of IBD sharing. The time of admixture was inferred using multiple tools, relying on statistics such as the distributions of segment lengths and the total EU ancestry per chromosome and the correlation of ancestries along the chromosome. Our simulations demonstrated that distinguishing EU vs ME ancestry is subject to considerable noise at the single segment level, but nevertheless, conclusions could be drawn based on chromosome-wide statistics. The predominant source of EU ancestry in AJ was found to be Southern European (≈60-80%), with the rest being likely Eastern European. The inferred admixture time was ≈35 generations ago, but multiple lines of evidence suggests that it represents an average over two or more admixture events, pre- and post-dating the founder event experienced by AJ in late medieval times. The time of the pre-bottleneck admixture event was bounded to 25-55 generations ago.Replies: @Anonymous, @utu
Admixture is not the same thing. Obama is admixed. Etc.
This shocks us because few remember a time before blacks were socialized to scapegoat whites for all their difficulties. Fewer recall a time before certain elements controlled academia and the fictional deterministic trajectory from the Civil War to the civil rights movement was cemented as undisputed fact. Fewer still know that before the 60s social equality was not thought to be a statement on comparative population performance and aptitude.
But it seems rather fallacious to argue that because we had mass immigration in the past, we are obligated to have mass immigration in the future.
Likewise, if warnings about immigrant quality in the past were unfounded, it does not mean we should not be concerned with immigrant quality in the future.Replies: @Anonymous, @Marty T, @Curle
“if warnings about immigrant quality in the past were unfounded,”
Unfounded? Which warnings were unfounded? The later Irish really were (are?)horrific drunks. The early ones came under the British. The Russian Jews have been near unprecedented troublemakers, then as now. Most of the worst Italians returned to Italy leaving us, thankfully, with the best of the lot. The German Jews turned out well. Old stock types feared the Germans would take over due to their industriousness, a fear that was justified. I don’t think anybody feared the Scandies. More of the old Brits might have done well to fear the Scots but they came in before the Revolution.
Obviously there is a hereditary component to being a Jew, just like Anglicanism tends to be hereditary, but there are black and white Anglicans, so no sure way to identify Anglicans by appearance.

jewishness is the Schrödinger’s cat of race; except instead of the cat being alive, or dead, or both simultaneously being dependent upon probability and statistics, it’s a case of whether or not jewishness is genetic or religious depends upon which interpretation is most favorable to the jew who is making the interpretation.
From the POV of White Nationalists, the answer to the question is easy: jewishness is both, i.e. it’s either/or. IOW:
– if they’re descended racially from jews, they’re jewish, regardless of practice or conversion; the tendency towards pathological subversion is unquestionably genetic. They belong in israel.
– OTOH if they’re an otherwise Gentile White convert, they’re a traitor to their own heritage and aren’t to be trusted, and they belong in israel, too.

Abstract
The Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population is important in medical genetics due to its high rate of Mendelian disorders and other unique genetic characteristics. Ashkenazi Jews have appeared in Europe in the 10th century, and their ancestry is thought to involve an admixture of European (EU) and Middle-Eastern (ME) groups. However, both the time and place of admixture in Europe are obscure and subject to intense debate. Here, we attempt to characterize the Ashkenazi admixture history using a large Ashkenazi sample and careful application of new and existing methods. Our main approach is based on local ancestry inference, assigning each Ashkenazi genomic segment as EU or ME, and comparing allele frequencies across EU segments to those of different EU populations. The contribution of each EU source was also evaluated using GLOBETROTTER and analysis of IBD sharing. The time of admixture was inferred using multiple tools, relying on statistics such as the distributions of segment lengths and the total EU ancestry per chromosome and the correlation of ancestries along the chromosome. Our simulations demonstrated that distinguishing EU vs ME ancestry is subject to considerable noise at the single segment level, but nevertheless, conclusions could be drawn based on chromosome-wide statistics. The predominant source of EU ancestry in AJ was found to be Southern European (≈60-80%), with the rest being likely Eastern European. The inferred admixture time was ≈35 generations ago, but multiple lines of evidence suggests that it represents an average over two or more admixture events, pre- and post-dating the founder event experienced by AJ in late medieval times. The time of the pre-bottleneck admixture event was bounded to 25-55 generations ago.Replies: @Anonymous, @utu
Why is it called European admixture when it is more than 50%? Shouldn’t we call Ashkenazis Europeans with Middle Eastern admixture? Palestinians would like it.
I'm beginning to think that you need to have genetic offspring in order to have input on things that have long term policy implications. People who are not breeders (gay, cat ladies, etc.) just don't have skin in the game. It really doesn't matter to them what happens after they are dead. There are some people who are infertile not by choice but whether it is a choice or not, they don't have the same stakes as those of us who are candidates for genetic posterity.Replies: @AM, @Olympus, @black sea
There is — beyond this lack of skin in the game– a bitterness and resentment that often accompanies childlessness. The sad truth is that regardless of whether or not you have kids, you grow middle aged, then older, and then elderly, and then you die. I believe this slowly dawning awareness particularly afflicts childless women who, after all, haven’t managed to do the one thing that nature equipped and relied upon them to do.
They start looking for causes and manufacturing grievances, because the world just doesn’t take the same interest in them that it did when they were young and perhaps somewhat pretty. Their thwarted maternal instincts go into refugee relief, and their grievances lead them into to pussyhat parades.
It’s a sad spectacle.
Multiple times, between 53% and 67 % European ancestry depending on method, the Levantines were much closer fst-wise to South-Europeans than NW-Europeans are to Nilotic people like the Luos. Pretty much all blacks in the US have about 20 % European admixture ancestry. Aren’t they black? The joke was that the Ashkenazim are white, but not jewish since their founding mothers were European.
I like how “historical reconstructions” of Jesus depict a sort of Socratic caveman.

However, ancient Judaism was destroyed with the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. Major features of it, such as animal sacrifice, a dedicated, inherited Priestly class, acknowledged prophets, and Temple focus worship literally vaporized in that moment.
One could say with some sound arguments that today's orthodox Judaism is Christianity without Christ. That's the only way they could regroup as culture after the Temple destruction. Likewise, while Catholicism has some parallel but not quite the same features of ancient Judaism, obviously the whole of Christianity has survived even without most of what Catholicism preserved of ancient Judaism.
I've argued in past that Christianity broke paganism - it also seems to have broken Judiasm, which is why it's important to be careful of "offshoot". Judeo-Christian isn't a real thing. That term only pops up about the time the West starts into it's decay in the late 19th century. Aposotic succession has nothing to do with DNA. In fact, the whole point is to detach the priestly class from any inherited status so that it might be available to the whole world. From a literal DNA point of view, I agree with you. There's no way to avoid the Caucasianness of Jews. It's dumb in that sense.
However, given what they're speaker is usually trying to drive at by that observation, it makes perfect sense. There is indeed a sub-group of easily identifiable by ethnic heritage Caucasians who undermine not just the racial, but the entire identity of the West. They tend to identify as whites until the moment when they freak out and suddenly are talking about their bar mitvahs.
You can see it here, even in this little microcosm of iSteve. I've got a self-educated background in most of the history and theology they tend to pick on, so it's easier for me to counter. But for the public at large, they're screwed. They speak with some authority and it sounds almost right. Meanwhile, the governing gentile elites, whose history is being warped, have checked out to be fat and wealthy.
And what's worse, is that even when some pleb like me calls them out on it, they don't change their tune. I've only been here for a short a time, but even in that time span, secular Jews will take their marbles and go home before reconsidering their positions.
In other words, I get the whole "but they're not white" argument even if I don't use it myself. It's the sum of set of complex arguments, spoken in a rhetorical language.Replies: @Karl

Nice line, but historically wrong.
Hebrew ceased being a language of daily conversation about 500 BCE around the time of the Babylonian exile. After that, Aramaic became the daily language spoken in what is now Israel and remained so until Israel was annihilated and Jews scattered around 135 CE following the Bar Kokhba revolt. In Roman times, Greek was the educated language of the elite.
Although Aramaic is also semitic, it is certainly not a direct descendant language of classical Hebrew. To stay with the analogy, it is like Danes reading Shakespeare – educated Danes can understand the language, and may even understand some words and phrases better than English speakers, but their native Danish does not equip them to understand Shakespeare off the bat.
Pictures of Jesus are pretty consistent back to Byzantium about 1400 years ago: Jesus’s face is particularly long vertically between the eyes and the mouth. I have no idea why or whether the tradition goes back further than that. I have never seen this tradition verbalized, but Durer undoubtedly understood it visually.
On a slightly tangential note, one can see depictions that are perhaps historically fitting if somewhat anachronistic.
Growing up in Catholic Ireland, most chuches bore depictions of the Stations of the Cross wherein the Roman soldiers accompanying Jesus are wearing uniforms and accoutrements totally unlike those that anyone can recognise from the Late Republic/Early Empire (square shields, red tunics, laminar armour, short-swords etc), i.e. from the time of Jesus. Instead, the soldiers in these portraits are wearing Roman military outfits from the Late Empire period (long spatha swords, horseplumed helmets, long-sleeved tunics etc). Perhaps the artists of the Christianised Roman Empire from 4th to 6th centuries AD had no idea as to Roman fashions a few centuries previously and merely retconned what they could see around them.

And yes, i'm pretty sure--the odds overwhelmingly in favor--that i'm descended from any Apostles who have surviving descendants, and seeded their children in the Roman Empire.

You speak this language as a result of a conscious effort to revive a dead language. It was an amazing feat but “artificial”. They could have just as well picked Esperanto or Klingon but wanted Hebrew for the link that it provided to the past.

Good point.
I think the palestians’ problem is African admixture.
” Non-Druze Arabs have clear traces of African admixture both in the form of “Mozabite” North African (4.5% for Palestinians, 4.9% for Bedouins), E African (6% for Palestinians and 5.7% for Bedouins) and a little Sub-Saharan (1.3% for Palestinians and 2.1% for Bedouins).” -Dienekes
Because Hebrew was the language of the bible and that the rabbis kept using to correspond with each other all along (the same way the Church kept using Latin). Also Aramaic and Greek were not unique to the Jews.

An ethnocentric market-dominant minority will always have some interests different from those of their hosts. They will use their power to serve the interests of their small number of people at the expense of the far greater number of their hosts. Jews are ethnocentric and market-dominant par excellence, so they acquire and use more political power per capita than any other group in human history, and so serve as a staggeringly subversive influence in the West.

A century ago it was unimaginable that a Jewish state would not only exist but be a major regional military power, armed with nuclear weapons.

I don’t think that 1.3% Sub-saharan is really enough to cause problems for a population. There are a lot of perfectly fine white Americans that have 1.3% African admixture. The Palestinians real problem is bad leadership and unwillingness to make realistic deals – they keep going for all or nothing and getting nothing. In the Gulf, the Palestinians are geniuses by comparison to the locals – they are the accountants, doctors, etc.

She sounded like she was from the lower end of the working class and had made many poor decisions in her life. (For example, despite making $25/hr she had no savings because she really enjoyed shopping.) It struck me that this woman would have had a better life if she had another 10 or 15 IQ points. Even if she still had the same job, the rest of her life would have been less chaotic if she had the better judgment that comes with being a little bit smarter.

You can take your point too far. If the US allowed no immigration after the Revolution it would be a really empty place and would not be the world power that it is.
You can argue that it's crowded enough now, but by the population density standards of other countries, it's still pretty empty. And not just 3rd world places like China but even by Euro standards.
I don't buy into "none is too many". The US really has an opportunity to skim the best and brightest from a lot of countries and do it in a way that would make us all better off. Brin, Musk, Wang, etc. - you'd be nuts not to want these guys playing for your team. With a change in culture, we could get these guys pulling in the right direction. We did it before. For example, Irving Berlin was 100% pro-American. He was Jewish but didn't filter everything he did thru "is it good for the Jews". He did what was good for America, his beloved adopted country that gave him everything. Even many of the old Hollywood moguls operated that way, if for no other reason than they cared more about the bottom line than about Jewish causes.
Do we need millions of Mestizo peons and Pakis to fill in the gaps before the drywall hanging and taxi driving robots come out? Hell no. They are just here to drive down American wages.

Kind of an older thread already but quickly:
Absolutely not on the “really empty”. The studies I’ve seen are that it would have a population of about 50-60% of what it does. 160-180m.
You and I wouldn’t be here but it would be a fine place.
And yes, it would still have been and would be the world’s leading power. The Anglo-Saxons have punched well above their weight in terms of science, technology, invention. It just wouldn’t be as lopsided as it was with the extra folks
It’s not empty with regards to the world now. The east coast area has a population density that’s at the EU level. India and China are two of the worlds ancient civilizations and have been the most populous for at least a couple millennia. Compared to most of the world the US is on the “populated” side not the “empty” side.
And of course by world historical standards the current US is very well populated. Even it’s traditional appeal of having “cheap land” and housing has vanished for the coastal areas during my lifetime. You have to be deep in flyover country to find truly “cheap housing” in the US anymore. (And forget about cheap farmland. No kid can buy a farm anymore and make it–support a family. You need to inherit your farm.)
Again no. Musk is an interesting guy, pushing–some–stuff in some interesting directions. Perfectly happy without Brin and Wang. People generally wildly overrate the contributions of these silicon valley types. The revolution was in hardware capability. The rest has been taking advantage. Absent Brin … we’d have someone else’s search engine. Big deal. Brin coming here has been great for Brin, it’s been close to irrelevant for the rest of us and the US economy.
Jews tend to wildly overestimate immigrant and their own contributions as critical. There are a few unique individuals–Fermi’s a guy i’m glad we got over here. Teller too. But fundamentally their whole “immigrants-are-amazing” story is precisely backwards.
It is the *US* that makes the immigrant a success, not the immigrant that makes the US a success.
The US is–was–a free, prosperous, peaceful, nation of Anglo-Saxon culture and a highly competent, intelligent western-European population … and a huge internal market. Of course, a bunch of smart, people who immigrated here found great success. But if they aren’t here, the US is doing just fine with its very large pool of native white talent–Franklin, Whitney, Fulton, McCormick, Morse, Deere, Edison, the Wrights, Boeing, Ford, Shockley, Bardeen, Brattain, etc. etc. etc. Basically coming here allows the immigrant to play in a bigger, rich field and perhaps grab some success that would otherwise go to some natives. And in rare cases make some real advance here that the natives wouldn’t have gotten to for a while. But it’s the immigrant who is being improved–by leaving somewhere where his talents are more constrained, for a place that functions really well. The US continues to function really well regardless … until immigration drags it down, as is happening now.
Also, I don’t have this idea that every single last smart creative person and invention has to be in the US. It’s a big world. They can invent their great inventions over there–that’s fine. It’s much, much, much … much, much, much more important to continue to be “the US”, with our Anglo-Saxon culture than it is to rope in every last smart person.
Heck we could pack every smart Chinese over here. But living with a nation full of Yan Shen’s … who they heck would want that! That’s hideous. I want to live in the USofA–part of the West, not the East.
As a Jew, I see them both Miller and Jesus as hypocrites and craven opportunists.

Having brains is like having money (the former tends to lead to the latter) - more is usually better. Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof said that it's no shame to be poor but it's no great honor either. The same applies for brains. The NYTimes just had this piece about a blue collar factory worker who was losing her job because her plant was moving to Mexico. She sounded like she was from the lower end of the working class and had made many poor decisions in her life. (For example, despite making $25/hr she had no savings because she really enjoyed shopping.) It struck me that this woman would have had a better life if she had another 10 or 15 IQ points. Even if she still had the same job, the rest of her life would have been less chaotic if she had the better judgment that comes with being a little bit smarter. We see this all the time with the decisions that black people make.

There’s a difference between wisdom and intelligence. The best and wisest of the Jewish rabbis are usually trying to tell the rest of the secular Jews that, with not much success. (Also that money isn’t everything and no matter what happens in the afterlife, you can’t take it with you.)
Those Jewish rabbis have the patience of saints and my deepest sympathies.
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.
American Catholic lines tend to have alcohol problems, although I suspect Baptist lines do too, which is why the emphasis on totally dry is there. At any rate, Catholics are not an ethnic group, unless you’d like to lump the Vietnamese Catholics in with the same drinking problems of the Irish.
Oddly enough, none of the Catholics I know drink, including myself. Personally, I’m just too cheap to drink. Can’t get into an expensive hobby that will make me fat. (Already have enough problems with The Battle of The Bulge.)

Except that I don’t think he was ever a Trotskyite.

Jack D hasn’t spelled it out, so I will. The issue isn’t keeping up with the Joneses population-wise. It’s keeping up in terms of comprehensive national power. When China gets to Taiwan’s GDP per capita (about 1/2 of the US), its industrial output will be twice the American number, or roughly the US and EU numbers combined. China’s history is of continuous expansion in every direction, as Chinese leaders seeking a prime spot in the history books send forth Chinese armies to acquire new land for the empire. Its retrenchment in the past couple of centuries was the result of military defeats, not strategic quiescence.

An ethnocentric market-dominant minority will always have some interests different from those of their hosts. They will use their power to serve the interests of their small number of people at the expense of the far greater number of their hosts.

Not really? The Qin, Western Han, Yuan and Qing Dynasties were expansionist. They were keen on establishing tributaries then outright conquest for the most part. The territory they conquered for the most part was integrated into modern China; the exceptions are Korea and Vietnam (which gained independence) and the two west provinces of China (which are still ruled as automous territories because they still aren’t ethnically Han).
That’s okay, no one is forcing you to look at pictures from the synagogue at Dura Europos in the Yale Digital Library.
Agree. That is the core of it. I mean every little subgroup has their particular flaws, Irish with the drink, Anglos always cutting off their nose to virtue signal their face, but these things can be worked around, whereas when someone actively makes you his enemy and tries to undermine you from within it’s pretty hard to deal with.
Having said that, if an ethnically Jewish individual truly avoids that behavior (and plenty of them do) I think it’s silly to cast them out of a pan-European movement. Likewise if a descendant of Thomas Jefferson starts virtue signalling for personal gain or promoting negrophilia he should be kicked to the curb post haste. Hence why I think it is necessary, again in the context of any sort of pan-European movement, to differentiate acting from being Jewish. Of course it is reasonable to assume that people who are Jewish are more likely to act Jewish, and behave accordingly, and applying an even higher standard of loyalty.
Now the obvious rebuttal to this is, why not apply the same reasoning to blacks or any other race? Or heck, to other species? I think there are two basic questions one must ask oneself: first, are you comfortable drawing lines separating an in- and out- group? If so, you must be comfortable that some people who are outside the line are still good, virtuous people, but they are nonetheless not your people. And likewise you will be ashamed of some of your own, but again, they are yours. Troy had Hector as well as Paris. Second, if you are comfortable drawing that line, then where do you draw it? For me, it is drawn around the population in what would have historically been thought of as Christendom; if I were an Austrian in Austria obviously it would be different, but I’m American and the whites are all mixed up here.
That’s a distortion of the historical record. These were the dynasties that succeeded in expanding. However, just about every Chinese regime devoted considerable resources towards increasing its rank in the history books by sending expeditionary armies to expand the realm. The Sui took a good crack at the Koguryo for just under 20 years before collapsing under the weight of excessive expenditures (paid for via a combination of corvee labor, a mandatory draft, excessive taxation and hyper-inflation) relating both to the war and the massive undertaking of the 1000-mile long Grand Canal. The Tang smashed the Koguryo in a war lasting over 20 years and attempted to conquer and annex the entire Korean peninsula, but was stopped by its erstwhile ally, the Silla, after 6 years of war. These are just a tiny fraction of the large scale and lengthy wars that were waged by the Chinese state in its various forms over the millenia.
The claim proffered above would suggest that Germany and Japan have been quiescent powers, because only a tiny sliver of their histories involved territorial expansion. In reality, every square foot of China has been fought over on multiple occasions.
It’s quite astonishing that anyone should claim a state twice the size of the Roman Empire was established peacefully. Even a cursory examination of the history of what is now Yunnan province should lay that claim to rest. If that doesn’t suffice, take a look at a time line of China’s historical boundaries.
The last Chinese regime to openly admit to being an absolute monarchy, the Qing (1644-1911), expanded China to what is, to date, its maximum extent. It shrank somewhat because its lines were overstretched. China today incorporates most of the Qing regime’s territory. The unofficial party line is that to be truly whole, China must reincorporate every square inch of Qing territory. And the real long term goal is probably what every Chinese regime since the beginning has attempted to do – bring all under heaven into the benevolent embrace of the Chinese state.
Ah – sorry – the downside of the written word 😉

Yes, the Chinese have a history of trying to conquer territory that was previously owned by them. I’m not sure how that is evidence of continuous expansion.
Since in the traditional Chinese view the Middle Kingdom "previously owns" the whole world anyway, even that qualification is not very qualifying.
