Here’s Internet personality Richard Hanania’s upcoming book, which hopefully won’t get canceled:
The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics
Richard Hanania has emerged as one of the most talked-about writers in the nation, and in this book, he puts forward a stunning new theory about the culture war that could turn our debates upside down.
Richard Hanania has come out of nowhere to become one of the best-known writers in the nation in the last few years. In this book, he directs his attention to the culture war that has driven society apart and presents a stunning new theory about what is going on.
In a nation nearly-evenly split between conservatives and liberals, the left dominates nearly all major institutions, including universities, the government, and corporate America. Hanania argues that this is as much a legal requirement as it is an issue of one side triumphing in the marketplace of ideas. Culture has its own independent force, but the state has, since the 1960s, been putting its thumb on the scale.
This book answers many of the puzzling questions about modern society, such as:
• Why does more and more of life seem like a competition to see who is the most oppressed?
• Who is really behind the sudden proliferation of woke ideas?
• How did ideas that seem so intellectually bankrupt achieve hegemony over elite culture?
• Which laws and regulations have helped the left rise to power everywhere?
• How did workplaces come to be the main enforcers of political ideology?
• When and how did Pakistanis, Samoans, and Koreans all become the same “race” (AAPI)?
• Why did America become so obsessed with inequalities based on race but not religion?
For those angry about wokeness and what it has done to American institutions, this book offers concrete suggestions regarding policies that can move us back to being a country that emphasizes merit, individual liberty, and color-blind governance.
Here’s law professor Gail Heriot’s article that helped inspire Richard’s book:
Title VII Disparate Impact Liability Makes Almost Everything Presumptively Illegal

Abstract
Title VII disparate impact liability makes almost everything presumptively illegal: It gives the federal bureaucracy extraordinary discretionary power. But what does it do to the rule of law? And who benefits?
* * * * *“
In Griggs v. Duke Power Co. (1971), the Supreme Court held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 went far beyond prohibiting intentional discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. According to the Court, it also presumptively outlawed job actions that have a “disparate impact,” regardless of whether the employer had an intent to discriminate.The evidence that this was a misinterpretation of both the text and Congressional intent is overwhelming. Up until 1991, Griggs would have been an excellent candidate for an outright and explicit overruling. But the Civil Rights Act of 1991’s backhanded recognition of the disparate impact cause of action makes that more difficult than it otherwise might be.
This article discusses various ways in which disparate impact liability has been bad policy and various arguments for its unconstitutionality.
I never dox anybody, but a few months ago for my own information I looked into the rumor that Richard Hanania used to be Richard Hoste, whom I vaguely recalled as an intelligent, strident, on-the-nose, and not hugely interesting minor far right Internet personality of a dozen years ago.
I didn’t find anything to disprove the rumor. Hanania and Hoste were both anti-Christians who had read The Bell Curve. On the other hand, Hanania, who is in his later 30s, is now so much better of a writer than Hoste was 12 years ago that I wasn’t sure I believed they were same guy.
How much do writers change? For example, I’ve always been who I am. Thus, in this October 11, 1979 issue of the Rice U. Thresher, you can read my review of Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff (p. 8) and my review of a Houston concert by The Clash (p. 7). My prose and perspective is recognizably similar over the last 44 years. As David Foster Wallace said, in the end you turn out to be who you are.
So I filed the Hanania-Hoste question away mentally as unanswered. If Hoste had improved enough to become Hanania, that would be unusual and impressive.
Now, the Huffington Post has doxed Hanania as Hoste. And Hanania has admitted it, but says he’s not an extremist anymore, he’s now a Bryan Caplan-style open borders libertarian. (After all, what could be less extremist than open borders?)
I went ahead and pre-ordered Richard’s book from Amazon to do my bit to persuade the publisher not to cancel it.

Yeah, Peter Thiel’s homosexual billionaire support for another homosexual weirdo like Hanania just doesn’t work. Honkey’s frankly are not that stupid.
Thiel has to spend a a few more millions to make people support an autistic fruitcake like Hanania, but even then… good luck.
Hanania’s doxxing is a good thing. I hope it shaves off enough of his readership from both the right and left, so that he needs to find a new career.
He spent his time attacking working-class Christian whites to virtue signal to GenX’rs and Boomers. Why? Because working-class whites are easy targets, with little institutional clout. Meanwhile he’s Palestinian and hasn’t talked about Jewish influence once.

I am uninterested in the ideas of any public intellectual who is for open borders. They have already beclowned themselves on one of the central issues of our time; I don’t fee the need to acquaint myself with anything else they think either. They are either silly or malign.
Likewise, this Ramaswamy character who’s running for President recently outed himself as a pro-immigration booster. I don’t care about whatever else he might have to say.
The right level of immigration is…………..zero.
Interestingly, RFK Jr. is solid on rhetoric about closing the open border. Doubly so, because he's coming at it from the left.
Maybe someone will eventually go full Calvin Coolidge and run on a platform like the 1924 immigration pause. But it won't be a mainstream candidate.
For what it's worth, the one thing Trump had to learn from his first term was that he screwed himself by not building the wall he promised. So if he does get elected again, it's almost 100% that the wall will be going up as the first thing he does.Replies: @Mr. Anon, @Jack D

Deserves enormous credit for the focus on the legal aspect of woke, it really is legally mandated, the right has been going round in circles on this, often times deliberately misled.
The 2010 Equality Act has had a similarly disastrous impact in Britain, snuck in at the end of Labour’s rule, it has not been repealed by the thoroughly Blairised Conservative Party. Instead we are treated to repeated denunciations of this act of woke lunacy after another, nary a word about the Equality Act that legally mandates such nonsense.
Sometimes writers compromise because they feel the need to financially, or it is just a wise attempt to pick their battles. Sometimes their personal sexual proclivities lead them to be hostile to certain aspects of the right. Anyway you take what is valuable, and the legal aspect is very important.
Very gracious of you, Steve.
My take on Hanania’s post-dox post:

The HuffPost hit piece on Hanania is of course lame, but he just isn’t very interesting. There’s likely not much he could have to say about The Woke in his book that Roko, of Roko’s Basilisk fame, hasn’t already elucidated in one of his many Twitter (now X) threads, with the bonus that Roko goes beyond and speculates on how this might play out in the future, together with technological advancements such as increasing AI capabilities, something that Hanania explicitly said he isn’t very interested in.
Off-topic: I think Sailer should consider getting the verified checkmark. They’re paying hundreds to thousands of dollars monthly if you get enough engagement/impressions. Think of how you could help your family with those, or which new additions to the closet you could get.
Completely agree about Steve getting verified on Twitter. He would make significant money from ad revenue sharing.
I actually remember Hoste from the old Alternative Right website. He was really over the top but definitely one of the smarter people on that comment board. The only other handle I remember is Anton Chigurh, presumably after the bad guy from No Country for Old Men-wonder what happened to him?
Thing is I always thought Hoste was a white boomer with a Ph.D. or something, maybe a retired academic. Dude did a good job. People like to LARP.
I now get why his lampoon of the far right where Unz invites him to a secret conference and he makes fun of BAP and Moldbug was so hilarious.
The big thing I get out of it is ‘practice better email hygiene’, you need to have two completely separate sets of emails. I was always pretty cagey about exact biographical data for precisely this reason, but over time you could probably get something. Thing is I’m not as famous as Hanania and at this point in my life probably never will be.
Other advice I would say is don’t use the same initials. First letters are kind of a mental filing system-writers are told not to use two characters with the same first initial-and I’ll bet it clicked somewhere for the lefty fixing Hanania.
As one does.

Moldbug was writing Unqualified Reservations for several years before they unmasked him, and he had made his own money in Silicon Valley as I recall (meaning cancellation’s a lot less scary$.
1. He came out of nowhere (Horatio Alger, Howard Roarke)
2. If we can find a guy who's rich enough, he can save us (Charles Kane, Donald Trump, Elon Musk)

Why have you failed? "The rich guy from nowhere was a shill."

Burroughs called this “the setup man” in his first, most noir book, Junky: “This bar was a meeting place for 42nd Street hustlers, a peculiar breed of four-flushing, would-be criminals. They are always looking for a ‘setup man,’ someone to plan jobs and tell them exactly what to do. Since no ‘setup man’ would have anything to do with people so obviously inept, unlucky, and unsuccessful, they go on looking, fabricating preposterous lies about their big scores, cooling off as dishwashers, soda jerks, waiters, occasionally rolling a drunk or a timid queer, looking, always looking, for the ‘setup man’ with a big job who will say, ‘I’ve been watching you. You’re the man I need for this setup. Now listen . . .’”Replies: @Steve Sailer
Christopher Caldwell has been making this argument for some time. I agree with him. I also like him more than Banana (lol that’s autocorrect — not me), so I think I’ll just stick with Caldwell.
But where does bad law come from, really? I think in this case it’s hubris. Bad things proceed naturally from excessive pride, and the US was full of it during the postwar era. The idea that we could transform human nature to conform to the particular ideal that characterized that time was very popular in the 70s. I can remember it even from my early childhood.
So I don’t think it’s enough simply to change the law, but it would be better than nothing.

I think there were other vectors at work. It was a project of the peri-New Deal courts to declare the distinction between inter-state and intra-state commerce to be factitious, which allowed Congress an avenue to coercive legislation applicable to all manner of local actors. Those same appellate courts erased the efforts of post-bellum federal appellate courts to incorporate freedom-of-contract into constitutional protections, which precluded federal and state appellate courts from annulling state laws which mandated segregation by private actors. Then the Warren Court accepted a sketchy sociological argument in support of an equal protection claim in regard to the provision of public services (schooling, in that case).

What you notice about the ensuing regime - which had judges and administrative agencies bossing everyone around - is that its objects had much more to do with excising offenses to the amour propre of blacks than it did with advancing their substantive well-being (or anyone else's well-being).
He comes off as kind of feminine snd dorky (not the same thing necessarily) in interviews and the like, but he did reproduce apparently (though he never talks about a wife…of course he might want to keep her out of the line of fire).
I’ve never had the whole ‘men should be manly’ attitude…a lot of your best speakers and writers are going to have somewhat feminized brains because of the verbal IQ split. Even before the sixties you had guys like Hemingway trying to be macho to prove they weren’t wimps, and before that ancient Greeks worried about it. The warrior and the poet are different archetypes, at least in the West…you can combine both, and some guys do, but it’s less likely.
Anyway, quite a few famous writers have been gay, even on the right. It doesn’t pay and raising a family is pretty time consuming.
He is. I assume Clifford’s mad Hanania made fun of Alex Jones or something.
Hanania’s not even up on his lingo: the new word they’re using “woke” is “Kingism” apparently…

The causes of our recent decline can be described by the saying, “Hard Times Create Strong Men, Strong Men Create Good Times, Good Times Create Weak Men, Weak Men Create Hard Times”. This cycle has occurred numerous times in history. We are just following in the footsteps of the Roman empire, British empire, and numerous other empires. Like these past empires we have the same imperialistic foreign policy abroad and bread and circuses welfare state at home.
Why is a race and gender focused socialism like wokeism the particular intellectual underpinning of our welfare state rather than some other form of socialism? A lot may have to do with the recent obvious failure of class focused socialism in the Soviet Union. So, the capitalist exploiters have just been replaced with the white male exploiters. We have to overcome the woke version of socialism if we want to implement “policies that can move us back to being a country that emphasizes merit, individual liberty, and color-blind governance”, as the quote from Amazon says. We also have to overcome the imperialists and return America to its traditional foreign policy of not becoming entangled in wars in far off lands.

Not much. In the imaginative literature field, Dostoevsky’s and Tolstoy’s works from their 20s are, give or take, the same as their novels and stories when they were 50-60 years old.
In other areas, as far as I can see, too: early Marx and early Jung have the same approach & style in comparison with their mature works. They’ve just developed their basic ideas & shifted the focus on some points.

In this way he is redeemed and ascends into its hallowed halls.
It seems like Hanania abandoned some of his more hardcore old views (pro-forced sterilizations for low-IQ people) and became more sympathetic towards Hispanics, but otherwise the core of his views remains similar, no? Except maybe with less of a focus towards overt white nationalism and more of a focus towards a more subtler conservative white nationalism that also includes a lot of Hispanics and Asians and a few blacks as well?
He was racist before. He is still racist now. It's that simple.

And it fits the unpleasant physique of its bearer. ( Greenblatt’s lost sibling ? ) As is often the case, the author of this book seems to be attracted to identitarianism because he himself has identity problems.

Early Marx (1843) is less pedantic, exhaustive, and boring than later Marx. The Communist Manifesto (1848) is an impressive work of prose style, which is rarely the case for Das Kapital.
But, yeah, young Marx and old Marx are clearly the same guy.
I always assumed Engels, a talented writer, penned the manifesto, using Marx's ideas of course.
IMHO, Marx's turgid writing is the secret to his "success." If he had just stated what he was trying to say directly, the response would be a combination of "no, duh," and "that doesn't follow."
But since no one can really figure out what he's talking about, they can assume he's too brilliant to be understood by normal people, and that they need the Intelligensia to translate the wisdom. Like when the Bible could only be written in Latin and the priests had to tell you what it meant.
He spent his time attacking working-class Christian whites to virtue signal to GenX'rs and Boomers. Why? Because working-class whites are easy targets, with little institutional clout. Meanwhile he's Palestinian and hasn't talked about Jewish influence once.

Terrific, spot on paragraph Mr. Anon.
And it isn’t even just that open borders people are silly and wrong about the fundamental issue of our time. (At least for the West, in places that are less foolish–perhaps China–there are other issues around women, fertility and eugenics that are critical.)
Even if immigration was not the fundamental issue–the crisis–facing the West today, anyone spouting this open borders “libertarian” silliness, reveals that he simply has no understanding of human nature, of actual people, cultures, communities and the nature of human societies.
It’s pretty much announcing that you have no knowledge–nor interest–in humanity but are an autistic bozo–or a paid stooge. Why would anyone give such people any attention?

Really? In this case, feminization results in support for open borders, dismissal of physiognomy (he looks like a goblin and cries when people mention it on twitter) and being an HBDer (give up support for your ethnic genetic interests and mix with Jews and Asians, white man!)
Reminder that masculinity means being in touch with the source, the truth, logic and morality.
As for Hanania’s conversion to libertarianism, it’s probably more tactical than heartfelt. I figure it’s either social (he just doesn’t have that much I common with macho populists) or purely strategic (he figures libertarian tech bros are the only ones with enough power to attack woke). But I don’t really know.
He spent his time attacking working-class Christian whites to virtue signal to GenX'rs and Boomers. Why? Because working-class whites are easy targets, with little institutional clout. Meanwhile he's Palestinian and hasn't talked about Jewish influence once.

Nah, it’s because, much like inner city blacks, they have an oppositional culture that leads to bad behavior like having kids out of wedlock, covering their bodies with gross tattoos, weighing 300 pounds, and refusing to get vaccinated.
You’re making the same argument the wokists make, they’re “powerless” so shouldn’t be criticized. As with them, it just encourages more bad behavior out of the group you think you’re defending.

The fascinating question here is not what Hanania believes or not, but about writing itself. Do writers organically evolve or do they remain ploddingly consistent? Can writers deliberately change their stylistic spots? Do writers unwittingly dox themselves even under cover of some nom de plume? And what is the role of editors and ghostwriters?
The wonderful novelist Graham Greene was amazingly consistent in tone and depth, if you factor in the typical arc where someone gets better and better until old age sets in. But Paul Auster is frustratingly erratic and unpredictable. And while Mark Smith’s The Death of the Detective is a dense, towering, magnificent novel, his other works are so nondescript I thought I might have the wrong Mark Smith.
It has struck me how metal icon Ronnie James Dio wrote consistently grim, gloomy lyrics for Black Sabbath, but when writing for his own band there was often a streak of hope or poignant human longing. Either way certain metaphors appear again and again and again.
I’d say my own stack of paid work was highly consistent in tone — smooth, light and facile, unless I was profiling someone with grave physical or emotional problems. (Or ghost-writing that op-ed for a nun!)
Usually I hate to make comparisons between the US and totalitarian countries bc life in a totalitarian country is infinitely worse.
However, there is an article right now in The New Yorker about life in Iran

and there are a lot of parallels (there are also things that do not parallel – when there were anti-government demonstrations a few months ago the police got on the rooftops and shot dozens of demonstrators). These are made more understandable if you understand American Leftism to be a form of religion (albeit a strange religion that professes not to be a religion at all). The society is divided and some years ago the government, the educational system, TV, major newspapers and most major institutions were captured by the religious faction, which was originally supported by a substantial segment of the population but by no means all. The wining faction has entrenched itself in power and imposes its extreme version of the religion on 100% of the population even though maybe half or more of the population does not really want to follow that extreme version of the religion. That this system is so carefully taught in schools and propagandized in the media has not succeeded in changing people’s minds – in fact they hate the religion even more because the religious crap is rammed down their throats in every public sphere. The high officials are now aging but they continue to cling to power. Although a lot of the population (even original supporters) has gotten sick of having the ruling ideology imposed on them and all the corruption that entails, the ruling faction is still not without its supporters (who are sometimes even more radical than the government itself and act as a sort of volunteer shock troops for the government). Anyone who tries to buck the government mandated religion finds himself in trouble – the government and its supporters and informers can get you expelled from school and mess with your business and make your life miserable if you try not to go along with their program. At times when the public pushes back hard, the government backs off and doesn’t strictly impose its religion temporarily, but as soon as they feel that the coast is clear, they tighten the screws back down and go back to the full version of their religion – they are never going to change their stripes. Even those in power who may not have true religion anymore can’t afford to publicly denounce it because their bread is buttered on the side of the current regime remaining in power. Loss of power might mean loss of their jobs in the religious bureaucracy and they are not really qualified for useful work so they are going to fight tooth and nail to keep the current party in power.

You are comparing different topics. For instance, “The Capital” 2,3 is boring due to the subject-matter; on the other hand, “Critique of the Gotha Program” is very readable, with the famous adage “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”. Both are mature works.
Young, “humanist” Marx of alienation, moralism & revolutionary apocalypse, a darling of Lukacs, Bloch & other Western exegetes is boring & tedious in “The German Ideology”- an early work he co-wrote with Engels.
Shorter pieces – great; longer- not so great.
Unlike, say, Heidegger, who is insufferable in any shape, size, variety or age.

A good comparison, as the main reason either of those people (Vivek Ramaswamy and Richard Hanania) attracted attention is that they were willing to attack the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Below is an informative and entertaining Sitrep on the Sahel. Apparently there is a lot of ethnic tribal politics involved.
For example, the deposed president of Niger was an ethnic Arab, which wasn’t appreciated by some of the more numerous tribes. Interestingly, the “jihadi insurgencies” that supposedly justify U.S. bases and intervention in the area are really just periodic ethnic civil wars (as have been occurring forever) between the more populous farming groups and the nomadic raider groups like Tauregs and Fulanis.
This is also part of the general collapse of France’s silly pseudo empire in Africa as an direct casualty of the Ukraine War.
The Eurotrash were quite canny, in that they would deliberately draw borders so that the new 'nation' contained multiple ethnic groups that were historically hostile to each other... and they would usually put an ethnic minority in positions of administrative authority.
The ramification of this strategy is most obvious in the general unpleasantness resulting from the Hutu/Tutsi arrangements in Rwanda - where the (minority) Tutsi were favoured by the Germans - who were 'assigned' Rwanda and Burundi by a cabal of Eurotrash arseholes in a conference in Berlin in the 1880s.
Coz, you know, that's how Eurotrash rolls: they 'assign' themselves responsibility for stuff, as part of the process of stealing anything that's not nailed down.
Point is: giving administrative power to an ethnic minority makes that minority reliant on the colonial power. The minority knows that if the coloniser leaves, the majority will break out the machetes.
Look at all the 'flashpoints' where Islamic 'radicals' are giving the Eurotrash a justification for keeping the Eurotrash dick wedged in the regional ass: the Levant - where the English and Frogs drew the borders; West Africa, ditto.
Malaysia: the British put Indians in all the admin roles, to the disadvantage of the native Bumiputra. In Ceylon, the Burghers held the important roles, to the disadvantage of the Sinhalese (and the imported Tamil).
The problem is the Eurotrash and their arrogation to themselves of the power to delineate borders with little or no regard to regional ethnicities - except for the deliberate fomenting of strife.
It used to be that regions had coherent ethnic identities; the regional borders were sometimes fluid as different ethnicities expanded at different rates - at which point it sucked to be in a disputed border region - but by and large humanity got by without "lines on maps".Replies: @Art Deco

During our low immigration periods (prior to 1840 and 1924 to 1965), annual issuance of settler's visas averaged 0.125% of the extant population per year, which would be about 400,000 issues a year. If you want to subscribe to American life and culture and contribute to it, you can at least demonstrate proficiency in English, passable physical vigor, and an absence of an obtrusive criminal history before you do so. You can also wait to receive citizenship until you've spent the majority of your natural life as a lawful and palpable resident.

IMHO, Marx’s turgid writing is the secret to his “success.” If he had just stated what he was trying to say directly, the response would be a combination of “no, duh,” and “that doesn’t follow.”
But since no one can really figure out what he’s talking about, they can assume he’s too brilliant to be understood by normal people, and that they need the Intelligensia to translate the wisdom. Like when the Bible could only be written in Latin and the priests had to tell you what it meant.

I'll vote for DeSantis in the primary. Not only did he materially make life better in Florida during the pandemic, DeSantis has actually waded in and challenged the minoritarian glop--on immigration, DIE, CRT propaganda, trannies, etc. I.e. is doing the work of legislating, appointing, enforcing--actually governing.
But if Trump is the Republican candidate i'll vote for Trump, basically for the sheer joy of watching heads explode in the unlikely event he wins. Unfortunately, their heads won't actually explode, and they won't actually go to Canada. But Trump will heighten the tension, heighten the division and push us closer to separation, which at this point seems the only option that offers any chance of saving even a remnant of the American nation.

I remember Hoste’s blogging and writing from 10+ years ago and while he was not necessarily pro-Islam/Muslims, he did seem notably more sympathetic to Islam and Muslims than the typical Alt-Right writer. I think he got into some debates with Lawrence Auster over his relative sympathies on this issue. And while he wasn’t notably anti-Semitic especially relative to others in the Alt-Right space of the time, he did seem mildly so. In retrospect, I suppose all this isn’t too surprising given his background. On his old “HBD Books” blog, he said Kevin MacDonald’s book was one of the books that had the most influence on him, along with other typical HBD books by Lynn, Rushton, etc.: https://web.archive.org/web/20091224104417/http://hbdbooks.com/2009/11/how-white-america-died/

I don’t have the timeline down, but he was going through various schooling as he transitioned from Hoste to himself, perhaps it helped with his writing. In theory, attending University of Chicago law school should make one a sharper thinker and a better writer.

I’m not. Stop conflating liberalism with conservatism. How do you square supporting immigration with conservatism? How do you square turning America into a third World country with conservatism? What are you even pretending to conserve?
“All the studies” are pulling your leg. The vaccines are like flu shots. They require continual updating, they don’t reduce your risk by any amount you’d bother about normally, and they’re protecting you against an ailment which is now less consequential than seasonal flu.
Hanania’s done a couple of useful things on affirmative action and disparate impact. One is his long threads illustrating how destructive they’ve been, such as his thread on the since-shuttered MLK affirmative action hospital in Los Angeles. The other is that he’s pointed out how some of this could be rolled back simply with executive orders.
Completely agree about Steve getting verified on Twitter. He would make significant money from ad revenue sharing.
However, there is an article right now in The New Yorker about life in Iran
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/14/the-protests-inside-irans-girls-schools
and there are a lot of parallels (there are also things that do not parallel - when there were anti-government demonstrations a few months ago the police got on the rooftops and shot dozens of demonstrators). These are made more understandable if you understand American Leftism to be a form of religion (albeit a strange religion that professes not to be a religion at all). The society is divided and some years ago the government, the educational system, TV, major newspapers and most major institutions were captured by the religious faction, which was originally supported by a substantial segment of the population but by no means all. The wining faction has entrenched itself in power and imposes its extreme version of the religion on 100% of the population even though maybe half or more of the population does not really want to follow that extreme version of the religion. That this system is so carefully taught in schools and propagandized in the media has not succeeded in changing people's minds - in fact they hate the religion even more because the religious crap is rammed down their throats in every public sphere. The high officials are now aging but they continue to cling to power. Although a lot of the population (even original supporters) has gotten sick of having the ruling ideology imposed on them and all the corruption that entails, the ruling faction is still not without its supporters (who are sometimes even more radical than the government itself and act as a sort of volunteer shock troops for the government). Anyone who tries to buck the government mandated religion finds himself in trouble - the government and its supporters and informers can get you expelled from school and mess with your business and make your life miserable if you try not to go along with their program. At times when the public pushes back hard, the government backs off and doesn't strictly impose its religion temporarily, but as soon as they feel that the coast is clear, they tighten the screws back down and go back to the full version of their religion - they are never going to change their stripes. Even those in power who may not have true religion anymore can't afford to publicly denounce it because their bread is buttered on the side of the current regime remaining in power. Loss of power might mean loss of their jobs in the religious bureaucracy and they are not really qualified for useful work so they are going to fight tooth and nail to keep the current party in power.

Yikes Jack, you don’t usually write in these massive unreadable paragraphs. What got into you? Let’s all remember that line breaks are the reader’s friends.
He’s not. The supposed benefits from immigration posited by neoclassical models of trade in factors of production are empirically minimal. (George Borjas calculated the benefits accruing to extant populations at 0.1% of gdp per year). Immigration you can do without and countries have prospered with very little of it (see Japan). The frontier was closed in 1890 and the agricultural population began dropping in raw terms around about 1920. Immigration adds to urban populations; it does not provide for more extensive or intensive use of natural resources as it once did. This is true for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as well. We have Americans who wish to adopt children from abroad and wish to marry foreigners who are not settlers in this country; both can be accommodated with fewer than 50,000 admissions.
==
During our low immigration periods (prior to 1840 and 1924 to 1965), annual issuance of settler’s visas averaged 0.125% of the extant population per year, which would be about 400,000 issues a year. If you want to subscribe to American life and culture and contribute to it, you can at least demonstrate proficiency in English, passable physical vigor, and an absence of an obtrusive criminal history before you do so. You can also wait to receive citizenship until you’ve spent the majority of your natural life as a lawful and palpable resident.
==
High levels of immigration with streams composed of miscellaneous individuals are a social weapon used by one part of the population against another. The only people who want to do this are malicious.
And your wrap ...a solid gold hot knife, slicing through the bullshit.
So it won’t from “the vaccines don’t work” to “they only reduce your risk by a teeny tiny amount?”(actually it’s something like 90%.)
One reason it’s now less consequential than the seasonal flu is that lots of people, particularly those at high risk of dying of COVID, got vaccinated. Others are herd immunity from natural infection and the gradual reduction in the virulence of COVID over time.

In your imagination only.

My Twitter thread on the Hanania hit piece:
This is a bad article because the author is unable to make distinctions (Republican=conservative=rightwing=bad=racist=Nazi to him, so he smears perfectly OK conservatives by association), but EVEN SO, it provides essential information about Hanania!
My online interactions with Hanania showed me he was intellectually dishonest, so I’m not surprised to learn of his pseudonymic past.
He is actually much worse than some people the author links him with, like Unz and Sailer, who, even when they are wrong, are honest, transparent, and well-meaning.
So ignore what the article says about others, the legitimate criticism of Hanania is his own words, and there’s plenty there to criticize.
In my opinion, his secret sugar daddy is Thiel.
Recently his posts have become erratic: deniably and disingenuously pseudo-liberal, so he can avoid triggering the cancel mobs and wink to his right-wing friends that he’s just parodying, and also full of sincere and vicious attacks on how stupid ordinary Republicans and conservatives are, which he hopes will immunize him.
Like you, I have a writing style which is recognizably the same as it was in 1979 college newspapers I wrote for.
Going back even further, I find my writing in high school and junior high school to be perfectly correct, and recognizably me.
What has changed is simply that I can write about a lot more things for a lot more audiences in a variety of degrees of pace, tone, humor, irony, and complexity, but since I didn’t do that until I could, the individual pieces I wrote 40+ years ago look fine now.

I think that Hanania’s RatWiki article needs to include his views on fat shaming (in favor of it) and the criticism of these views from others such as Megan McArdle. But Yeah, I would prefer that RatWiki just didn’t exist at all and completely shut down. Interestingly enough, I didn’t really view Hanania’s recent writings, other than the fat shaming, as being particularly bad. If anything, some of them were rather smart. It’s his old stuff that’s really objectionable, and I’m glad that he apologized for it.
It seems like Hanania abandoned some of his more hardcore old views (pro-forced sterilizations for low-IQ people) and became more sympathetic towards Hispanics, but otherwise the core of his views remains similar, no? Except maybe with less of a focus towards overt white nationalism and more of a focus towards a more subtler conservative white nationalism that also includes a lot of Hispanics and Asians and a few blacks as well?
Why does anybody expect the 78 year old man to be an improvement on the 70 year old man? Do old men get better with age? Do they become wiser?

Well said, Mr. Anon.
I’ll vote for DeSantis in the primary. Not only did he materially make life better in Florida during the pandemic, DeSantis has actually waded in and challenged the minoritarian glop–on immigration, DIE, CRT propaganda, trannies, etc. I.e. is doing the work of legislating, appointing, enforcing–actually governing.
But if Trump is the Republican candidate i’ll vote for Trump, basically for the sheer joy of watching heads explode in the unlikely event he wins. Unfortunately, their heads won’t actually explode, and they won’t actually go to Canada. But Trump will heighten the tension, heighten the division and push us closer to separation, which at this point seems the only option that offers any chance of saving even a remnant of the American nation.
C’mon Steve. If we can talk about Emmett Till’s dad, we can talk about Richard Hanania’s lunatic relative, Edward. Right?
Richard Hanania is related to Edward Hanania. Here: https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/anton-hanania_id_G-2605274692028266485
Richard — who loves to poke fun of fly-over rubes — nonetheless has a close-in-age relative, Edward, who likes torturing small dogs (basically, claiming the dogs from “lost dog found” ads then throwing the said dogs off parking garages).
Readers can google “Edward Hanania” in Oak Park, IL — Richard’s home town — and make up their own minds about the court case and the degrees of separation. Spoiler alert: Edward Hanania was sentenced to six years in prison for his stunt.
Richard has no business criticizing anyone on cultural grounds.
Hanania is a very smart guy. What he is actually for or against is sometimes hard to suss out because he has the habit of writing as if he is an advocate of those he opposes. Something like Jonathan Swift’s performance in “A Modest Proposal”.
I guess I should say,‘not every man has to be manly’. We needed a lot more macho men when we fought more wars, to avoid being conquered and killed!
As for Hanania’s conversion to libertarianism, it’s probably more tactical than heartfelt. I figure it’s either social (he just doesn’t have that much I common with macho populists) or purely strategic (he figures libertarian tech bros are the only ones with enough power to attack woke). But I don’t really know.
Whatever. It’s more for drive by commenters and people reading this-if you want to be the next Hanania you probably need more than that. I doubt the reporters revealed all their trucks either.

213, you are the confused one here.
Art already poured 55 gallons of reality on your head. But i’ll add the obvious:
“Conservatism” properly means people who actually want to conserve something. Whatever else immigration loons think about this or that–taxation, trannies, abortion, “climate change”, crime–that disagrees with the Parasite Party they are not conservative–whether they know it or not–in any meaningful sense.
And this observation is not “white nationalism”, it’s “nationalism” and “conservatism”. It’s the idea that a nation belongs to its citizens and that a particular, people and culture–a nation–occupying a piece of turf have an intrinsic value in and of themselves and the right to preserve themselves as a people and culture.
The same principle applies whether white or not. I hope the Koreans and Japanese and for that matter Chinese and Indians and Russians–basically everyone with a civilization–are able to see off you immigration loons and “cheap labor!” grifters and preserve their nations for themselves. Not because I am any of those things–I’m not and those aren’t my fights to fight–but simply because I am “conservative” and root for civilized people to preserve their unique nations and see off and defeat slimy “make a buck” grifters and malicious wreckers who revel in destruction.
He was a high school dropout and a community college student. So he must have had a bunch of problems as a youth that held back his intellectual development.
Also, if his writing was weak, I imagine that people in the comments sections called him out on it and that would have helped as well. Some people are naturally great at self-editing and improving their writing on their own, but for a lot of people, I think criticism goes a long way.

And all current economical models and studies ignore the worth of the country and its infrastructure. Seems like a big omission. The laymen of the public also lack the vocabulary to voice this point when the talk is conducted in economese.
The vast majority of studies ignore the effect of the immigration of the worker’s family or other dependants on public finances.
The social origin of the institutions that are a dominant factor in a country’s well-being is almost always ruled outside scope of study. “Does not interest me”, as some economist noted. (Can’t remember which one, they all have the same opinions. However I do remember the economics expert who said literally “native workers have no right to protect themselves from competition with immigrants”, that was really memorable.)
Check the demographics of almost any European city in Wikipedia: a huge increase in population in the past two decades. Judging by the traffic they really could have used some less growth. They are using up their slack for gains of questionable value.

Nuland’s predecessor, Thomas Shannon, Jr. does not exactly have movie star looks but no one attacked him on his looks. No one tried to associate him with pedophile priests or other Catholic criminals.
If Trump had sent Shannon on the same mission (he well might have) no one would have said a word here. There is a big element of misogynism and anti-Semitism in the attacks on Nuland.

If you introduce any novel highly contagious virus to a population, then eventually everyone in the population will either gain (in the case of readily mutating viruses, some) immunity to it or die. So Spanish flu (like Covid) still exists but doesn’t kill millions every year anymore.
Vaccines “cheat” by boosting immunity without having to experience the actual disease, so fewer people end up in the “dead” category on the way to gaining immunity.
Ultimately you end up in the same place with or without vaccines – this is true, but the difference is in the # of dead people it takes to get there. In the case of smallpox in N. America it was maybe 90% of the pre-Columbian population. I don’t know what the # is for Covid but I’m sure that there are substantially more (mostly but not all) elderly people alive (for at least a few more years) than there would have been had there been no vaccine.
Do people here ever get tired of blaming everything on the Joos? The milk in my fridge is sour – the Joos musta done it.
No. That’s part of Mr. Sailer’s allure. He encourages it in his usual cagey manner.
But from what I gather, it remains an extremely small subset of the white population—usually those over 50–who have this obsession that the Jews are the primary factor why we cannot have nice things.

The stability of the virus was originally not well understood. Was it more like smallpox or polio or was it more like the flu? Some viruses are not prone to mutation so you can give people one vaccination and they have sterilizing immunity for many years or even life and the disease can be completely eradicated.

Nothing was “well understood” by the propaganda media who were trying to generate panic. The same lying idiots that were saying that the vax might protect you perfectly and forever were also saying there was no such thing as natural immunity. Coronaviruses were always extremely well-understood by the actual virologists, however. (You know, the ones that were censored as “misinformation” for telling the truth).
Those people are wrong — It’s not worthless, it’s a positively dangerous killer. The government institutions you trust so much won’t do the research or make the data available to those who could analyze it. And the media you consume will never tell you anything negative about the vax. But the small number of foreign studies that have occurred show that the cost-benefit ratio of the vax is wildly negative for almost everyone. Unless of course you think a 3.5% chance of permanent heart damage (never mind all the other negative effects) is worth the benefit of possibly, maybe having less severe symptoms when you catch cold.

Makes sense. Writing instruction takes brains and work. You don’t need to be a genius to edit and give feedback, but you can’t really fake it either. I imagine he had very little actual instruction in writing prior to his graduate school but that he had some professors who helped him a lot in law school and later. A lot of the best writing instructors come off as cruel and demeaning, and so I wouldn’t hold my breath on him thanking them publicly.
Also, if his writing was weak, I imagine that people in the comments sections called him out on it and that would have helped as well. Some people are naturally great at self-editing and improving their writing on their own, but for a lot of people, I think criticism goes a long way.
Nobody blamed “everything” on the Jews. You are lying. Again. The original post said nothing about Nuland’s Jewishness. You rode to her defense, presumably for Jewish reasons (though I won’t go JackD and pretend I can read your mind).

While tuning in to CBS radio this morning for the local weather and traffic reports—the only reports they broadcast that aren’t utter falsifications—I heard the propagandist warn listeners of a new strain of COVID to be terrified of. Will Jack D, Alexander Turok, Steve Sailer, and their ilk be quick enough off the mark to invest in another thousand or so Fauci masks before the prices quintuple?

Is it confirmed that that’s Hanania’s brother? I see a resemblance, and he comes from the Chicago area, as Richard apparently did originally.
I wonder how many of these online right-wing personalities come from problematic families? Mike Cernovich has a brother who’s a drug addict, in and out of prison. Stefan Molyneux was always ranting about his welfare-collecting mother. Andrew Tate’s father was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
I wonder if all their “tough-guy mindset” posturing, contempt for “losers” and “victims” and addicts (Hanania, influenced by Bryan Caplan, denies the existence of addiction), and philosophy of willing oneself into success and physical and mental health is ultimately motivated by their desire to distinguish themselves from their screwy relatives?
HistoryLegends (the YouTube channel for the video) is generally pretty good – particularly in pointing out that Islam is a “flag of convenience” that unites ethnic groups across artificial borders that were drawn by Eurotrash during the Scramble for Africa.
The Eurotrash were quite canny, in that they would deliberately draw borders so that the new ‘nation’ contained multiple ethnic groups that were historically hostile to each other… and they would usually put an ethnic minority in positions of administrative authority.
The ramification of this strategy is most obvious in the general unpleasantness resulting from the Hutu/Tutsi arrangements in Rwanda – where the (minority) Tutsi were favoured by the Germans – who were ‘assigned’ Rwanda and Burundi by a cabal of Eurotrash arseholes in a conference in Berlin in the 1880s.
Coz, you know, that’s how Eurotrash rolls: they ‘assign’ themselves responsibility for stuff, as part of the process of stealing anything that’s not nailed down.
Point is: giving administrative power to an ethnic minority makes that minority reliant on the colonial power. The minority knows that if the coloniser leaves, the majority will break out the machetes.
Look at all the ‘flashpoints’ where Islamic ‘radicals’ are giving the Eurotrash a justification for keeping the Eurotrash dick wedged in the regional ass: the Levant – where the English and Frogs drew the borders; West Africa, ditto.
Malaysia: the British put Indians in all the admin roles, to the disadvantage of the native Bumiputra. In Ceylon, the Burghers held the important roles, to the disadvantage of the Sinhalese (and the imported Tamil).
The problem is the Eurotrash and their arrogation to themselves of the power to delineate borders with little or no regard to regional ethnicities – except for the deliberate fomenting of strife.
It used to be that regions had coherent ethnic identities; the regional borders were sometimes fluid as different ethnicities expanded at different rates – at which point it sucked to be in a disputed border region – but by and large humanity got by without “lines on maps”.

Hanania, like most HBDers, mocks anyone who even raises questions about the vax as it is too low status for such socially anxious people. The vax is to HBDers what race is to liberals/conservatives – the one issue you cannot touch, or you lose whatever low status you which to retain.
One issue for Hanania is that he made taking a very tough, illiberal approach to criminality and heritability a big part of his brand as a public intellectual, and if this approach were taken to its logical conclusion and applied fairly and universally, would affect him negatively.
Moldbug unmasked himself. Probably vanity has gotten to him. He accepted public debate with Robin Hanson. Almost immediately, he was recognized from video. I believe that resulted in a lot of problems in his life, making providing for his family much harder.
HBDers tend to have high IQs and so tend reach the correct conclusion that antivax is full of shit. It’s really that simple.

The fact that European nations don’t allow for right of return from the colonies shows what they really think of us. Germany is the most egregious example, they’ll let Eastern European Germans come back, but not German-Americans. I dated a German girl decades ago, sweet girl, but it was eye-opening to see how they view “Amis.” Of course, one can’t really blame them.
Of course, it isn’t just Americans. The Netherlands don’t let Afrikaaners come back, which is strange considering all the Indonesian-Dutch they let back in. It’s almost like Europeans will let you come back if you were part of the imperial project, but not an actual colonist.
