From the Guardian on Theresa May’s really, really dumb initiative:
Audit lays bare racial disparities in UK schools, courts and workplaces
Government study finds regional variation, and separate research suggests minority ethnic women hardest hit by austerity
May’s project, which she launched soon after taking office, brings together government statistics covering ethnic breakdowns in 130 areas across health, education, housing, employment and criminal justice.
Other findings, which include known data presented in a new manner alongside unpublished information in 24 areas, are:
– Black Caribbean pupils are permanently excluded from school at three times the rate of white British pupils – triggering a Department for Education review.
– Almost nine out of 10 white Gypsy and Roma children do not reach the expected standard for reading, writing and maths at 11.
– 9.2% of white 15-year-olds smoked in 2014-15, almost four times the proportion of black teenagers (2.4%).
– Black men are more likely to be found guilty at crown court, with 112 sentenced to custody for every 100 white men.
– The data goes beyond breaking down figures by colour, delving into differences between a variety of ethnic groups. Chinese pupils excelled at primary school, with 71% reaching the expected standard for reading, writing and maths, compared with 65% of children from an Indian background, 54% of white British pupils, 51% of black children, and 13% of white Gypsy and Traveller children.
The Prime Minister said:
“People who have lived with discrimination don’t need a government audit to make them aware of the scale of the challenge. But this audit means that for society as a whole – for government, for our public services – there is nowhere to hide. These issues are now out in the open. And the message is very simple: if these disparities cannot be explained then they must be changed.”
And if you explained these disparities, you could get thrown in the jail for your trouble.
So bring on the affirmative action.

Theresa May is good on countering Islam. She even calls out that Islamic terrorism as not simply stemming from a few terrorists but enabled by support from the wider Islamic community that creates safe spaces for terrorists.
the only counter to Islam is immigration control and she is a typical "conservative" open borders shill for the cheap labor lobby.
More data is better, especially more publicly accessible data. This might make HBD realism more acceptable. The discrimination-based argument just fails entirely to explain this data. So it is crying out for someone to state openly that this data is best explained by human biodiversity.
* However she does know enough to keep onside with Israel, having the nerve to chalk off Obama for his mild critique (made when he no longer had the power to back words with action), and ignoring Israeli influence on the party.
But May's statement:is pretty much canonical and makes the point about why knowledge of HBD--even the old crude but more or less accurate knowledge we had in the past--is absolutely critical to maintain a functioning civilized nation, and its suppression is absolute dogma on the left.
Without just an honest acknowledgement of the reality of human differences, all this data simply empowers the leftist super-state in its jihad against the people of any Western nation--any nation either cursed by history or stupid enough to allow "diversity".
Women should not be in politics, and Theresa May’s entire career is a perfect example of why Margaret Thatcher was the *exception* and not the rule on this point.

Affirmative action – clearly the easy way out!
I’m an Englishman, currently in the UK – we have no first amendment protection. Non PC views can see you prosecuted for hate-speech.
Blank-slatism is official state dogma, ergo any inequality of outcome between favoured identity politics groups – people of hue, wymyn, Muslims, homosexuals and native males is, ipso facto, a marker for a rigged system. We will need more quotas.
No dissent will be countenanced – the great and good will come after you with the full force of the law and the mob will unperson you.
The UK definition of a hate crime allows for suitably capricious enforcement:
Solicitor General speech on Hate Crime
To abide by this axiom, one must ignore evolution by natural selection.
It is now official government dogma that evolution by natural selection does not apply to human beings. Dissent from this dogma is heresy and punishable by the State.
I feel so sorry for Steve. He has been writing about this subject for years and has been exposed to many lifetimes worth of stupidity.
I do not expect Theresa May to even consider the possibility that biology could play any role in the disparities recorded.
It is only a matter of time before noticing disparities in outcomes will be considered racist.

It certainly won’t be a Tory, although I imagine adviser Dominic Cummings knows the score. Political suicide because of enemy-controlled media/academia. BBC would just love to have open season on ‘racist Tories’.
Mrs May really has very poor political instincts about anything outside internal party politics*. She’s not clever enough to realise that opening this particular Pandora’s Box is not in any sense a Tory vote-winner.
* However she does know enough to keep onside with Israel, having the nerve to chalk off Obama for his mild critique (made when he no longer had the power to back words with action), and ignoring Israeli influence on the party.
When a nation has no geopolitical rivals within reach, its suicide can be agonizingly slow, especially if it started at the top. Even assuming political policy continues to worsen, the British still might last another 50 years. After that it either turns into something new under the sun, or the staggering parasitic load downs the beast for good.
All countries of the world should be encouraged to undertake a detailed inventory of all social indicators (unemployment, arrest for crimes, single parent households, educational achievement, IQ test results, exclusion from school for misbehaviour, household income and wealth) broken down into detailed ethnic group ratios. Then there can be a public debate about what could possibly be the source of these uniform ratio patterns across the world and across a very wide range of social indicators. With enough evidence publicly available, anyone with two brain cells to rub together will see that it is obviously due to human biodiversity, unless they manage to blind themselves to the obvious. It is a good idea, and Theresa May should be applauded; even if she claims she did it to uncover “discrimination” she will in practice uncover HBD.

So, Britain’s black population shows an appalling disproportionate propensity toward criminality.
However, this is presented not as a cause of great regret and shame amongst blacks in Britain and call for a moment’s self-reflection. No. It’s spun as being great moral and political failing of Britain’s indigenous white population.
No surprise there, then.
I distinctly remember, a few years back, admits the backlash against Tony Blair’s open-door immigration policy, a report being issued by the Labour Party financed ‘think tank’ the IPPR claiming that ‘only a very small proportion of immigrants get council houses’ – this was spun as being ‘good’.
Now it is claimed that a ‘disproportionate’ proportion of ‘ethnic minorities’ ‘live in social housing’. Now it’s spun as being ‘bad’.
Yes, it’s so much better when we’re being betrayed by males, such as Blair, Wilson, etc.

Not quite so curious, as the main black population in the UK are "of Afro-Caribbean heritage" i.e. forebears were slaves.

There are a couple of swindlers somewhere in Dickens who, says the author, “lived not so much by their wits, as by the absence of wits in others.”
Remember, these are the same "natives" who insist that Islam is a religion of peace even as the Islamists are blowing them up and raping them. They get swindled only because they let themselves.
Maybe eventually, but I’ve heard both Douglas Murray and Milo Yiannopoulos claim they knew nothing whatsoever about psychometrics when the topic came up.
They were both lying, of course.
I’d guess that’s because there are no fresh-off-RyanAir, absolutely non-English-speaking Poles, Balts, Iberians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Romanians … (you name it, they’re here, in eye-watering numbers) among those black children.

I listen to LBC radio every morning. It is an education in how the narrative is constructed through the distortion of meaning by using comparison and statistics selectively, portraying statistical modelling as scientific fact, ignoring objective criteria. An example from today to illustrate the point. Wienstein was presented as ‘have you had a ‘Weinstein moment’ with your boss?’. There were no cries of misogyny, as there were over the Trump incident. In fact, the show continued by listing all the claims made against Trump, and at that point the term sex attack was introduced. It is quite fascinating to listen to the process, if utterly depressing to think that people are swayed by what they are hearing.
Just comes to my mind: Jordan B. Petersen has a growing audience in Germany. The quite popular blog Achgut.com, which once ran an article about Steve Sailer, too, features a weekly column by Petersen. So far, no gross negative reactions. He’s doing astonishingly well.

In retrospect, it all seems like a giant sham. Conservatives proved to be just globalists with a different covering. They were globalists with a faux wood and leather finish that wouldn’t clash with the décor. The Catholic ones had some classy Latin stuff written on them too. One paid extra for that.
The fact that Ed West managed to land a gig keeping the sham going a few more years is great for him (I guess) but no good for the rest of us.

That’s strange. Reports from Economist-wing of the diversity industry usually stress how ‘vitally important’ it is for Britain to import an infinite number of ‘ethnic minorities’. Apparently, they have a work ethic which will not only ‘save Britain’ but also ‘pay white people’s pensions’.
But, curiously, here we have a much trumpeted ‘official’ report with Theresa May’s premature on it, shouting out the economic uselessness of Britain’s ethnic minorities.
Literally a case of the right hand of the diversity industry not knowing what the left hand doing.
But, if you always start out from the premise that the chief function of the divert industry is to bash whites, white men in particular, in any way, shape or form possible, all the self-contradictions make sense.

Bourgeois Anglos seem incapable of forming a united front against other ethnic groups. Their strategy invariably seems to be to discreetly head for the exits and let someone else be the last man out. The same play is run from Quebec, to California, to South Africa and now to the former imperial metropole itself.
They teach at staff college that an orderly retreat is intended to “exchange geography for time”. Well when Anglos are withdrawing from London, they’ve run out of both geography and time. The old maps of the world used to show the British Empire in pink. Maybe the super smart, Economist reading types will retreat into Pink Zones, kind of like the old Green Zone of Baghdad?

I really wish that some honest numbers would come out of Sweden. Liberals still love Sweden.

Most immigrants to Sweden would be white in the US. Even with the recent influx of Arabs(who of course are white in the US) the country is still 90% white.

Ed West means well, though he occasionally gives back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s so he can pay the rent and feed the family. Also, while Blair ought to be drawn and quartered he may be likeable, charming, or funny to friends or family, how would we know.
I am a little surprised to see Roma do that badly. Physicaly they are undistinguishable from non-Roma whites.
“Bourgeois Anglos seem incapable of forming a united front against other ethnic groups. “
They’ve formed quite a few (National Front, BNP, EDL), but students chucked rocks at their demonstrations*, their parties have been denied bank accounts, their activists sacked, and well funded and organised campaigns have persuaded enough people that they’re BadWhites to mean it’ll be too late before they see the light.
And there’s nothing a middle-class Brit likes better these days than sitting in some white, rural fastness while tut-tutting at all those awful white people who actually live with diversity and aren’t fans.
This weekend several thousand white people marched peacefully in London against Islamist terror, but it wasn’t reported in the BBC or Guardian.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4958848/Thousands-football-fans-march-against-terror-London.html
* and these days something like 45% of young Brits go to university, clocking up huge debts to be indoctrinated (by people who hate them).
True. What Ed West and the rest of us are living through was pretty much set in place back in the late 60’s and early 70’s. People did try to change course but our mass media, think tank, two party, Bilderberg, G7, EU, Davos, grant-giving system in the West wouldn’t allow it. The problem is the West, not Ed West.
The white/black non-gap here is very strange. Perhaps it’s all due to language difficulties from Eastern Europeans included among the students, as suggested above. Or maybe smart white kids are in other types of schools not covered here. Or maybe Britain has a very regressive culture for working-class whites.
I’d like to know the answer.
the schools dumbed down to close the black-white gap so now the only kids who can possibly do well are the ones whose parents pay for private tutors.
the number of parents using private tutors has gone up to c. 40% in the big cities but the proportions vary greatly by class and ethnicity with south and east asians doing it most.
private tutors are the UK version of home schooling.
That point has certainly crossed my mind many a time, though I’m not entirely certain its true. Islam carries an inherent undertone of Arab supremacy, and Muslim populations come as conquerers. It’s never good to be a conquered people (at least if you’re male). Converting before demographics render it a necessity might be a somewhat different matter (preemptively, a la Poland and Lithuania faced with the Baltic Crusades). But if the West has the will to embrace something alien and illiberal, it may as well just return to its own less insane roots.
“Countering Islam” only to preserve a paradigm of diversity “audits” is hardly very compelling.

It’s been nigh on 70 years since the first cargo of uninvited unwelcome and unwanted third world immigrants imposed themselves upon Britain.
After the elapse of that ‘three-score and ten’ the UK government laments the various social pathologies attributed to that population. The strong implication is that these pathologies will *never* vanish, indeed only get worse with the increase to majority status of the pathological population.
Also to be taken for granted is that the last white Englishman living in England, whenever he ‘pegs it’ will have the entirety of the scorn and blame for the ethnic dysfunction heaped in his head due to the fact of his mere existence.
A truly terrible terrible state of affairs, fit only for the most demented, sadistic, fanatical masochist, alas fully avoidable with a few judicious immigration and nationality laws.
Poland and Hungary, please ‘note bene’.
‘Real’ Roma from Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia etc are virtually indistinguishable from the low caste Indian populations they descended from 800 years ago.
So – exactly what Cagey Best said – bourgeois anglo-saxons seem incapable of forming a united front against other ethnic groups.
and these days something like 45% of young Brits go to university, clocking up huge debts to be indoctrinated (by people who hate them).
I’m certain the self-styled technocratic, managerial class of the 1960s knew precisely that’s what they were up to when they massively expanded the post-secondary education systems across the West. The majority of them, I’m sure, had good intentions but the creepy “persuasive technology” types knew they needed to steal away the postwar generation of potential troublemakers from their working class parents or things could go badly for the Establishment. The pop culture strongly encouraged this generation gap. The resentful son-in-laws in the old Brit TV series, Till Death Us Do Part and the US rip-off of it, All In The Family were presented as a heroes for being a perpetual students who parrot all the right opinions, rather than traitors to their own kind.
East European Roma certainly aren’t, many of them look quite subcontinental. Definitely not standard European white (even though many of them may have somewhat mixed ancestry, and the whiter-looking ones occasionally pass into the general population).

54% reaching the expected standard seems awfully low, unless expectations are completely out of whack with reality. However this may just be Guardian reporting language, and one would want to know more about exactly how the “expected” standard is calculated.
Do I need to point out that it is completely illegal for 15-year-olds to smoke anything in the UK, so we are talking about millions of crimes being committed in relation to the sale of tobacco products to children, lack of parental supervision, etc., and this seems like an extraordinarily high percentage. The black kids might not be smoking as much tobacco, but I doubt if they are completely immune to the temptations of ganja.

That's strange. Reports from Economist-wing of the diversity industry usually stress how 'vitally important' it is for Britain to import an infinite number of 'ethnic minorities'. Apparently, they have a work ethic which will not only 'save Britain' but also 'pay white people's pensions'.
But, curiously, here we have a much trumpeted 'official' report with Theresa May's premature on it, shouting out the economic uselessness of Britain's ethnic minorities.
Literally a case of the right hand of the diversity industry not knowing what the left hand doing.

it’s all lies
even if you leave out all the racial/ethnic differences there’s also the simple class element. the majority of immigrants were imported for cheap labor so there’s a class disparity which distorts all the stats.
as the stats average blue collar and white collar if one group (e.g. white) is say 1/2 white collar and 1/2 blue collar and one group is 1/4 white collar and 3/4 blue collar then the two *averages* will be different.
the difference in the average is then used to discriminate against the white blue collar population leading to their eventual extinction (at which point the same argument is then applied to the lower half of the white collar population and the process repeats – gradual extinction and replacement from the bottom up).
in Europe the process is still mainly focused on the blue collar population. in the US the process is at the point where half the white collar population is now being targeted (although in the US a significant amount of the white blue collar population survived the first stage in rural areas).

Peterson promotes race denial and warmed-over christian liberalism. It’s little surprise he is unfettered by German authorities.
Given that his objections to bill c-16 resonate with many people including transphobic individuals, it is unsurprising that many of his fans are reactionaries, who like and support Peterson for his opposition stance to the bill but also due to his view of IQ being a huge determiner of cognitive ability[8] (which the race realist reactionaries love to cite), his views on the psychological differences between men and women[9] (which the sexist reactionaries all love), sympathetic views towards conservative values,[10] being hugely anti-Marxist[11][12] (because it's not like any other system has caused mass death at all[13]) and for defending Christianity.[14] [15] [16].

If only you Catholics cared as much about driving out the pestilence of Communism and Pedophilia in your own Church as you did laying the blame at the feet of Protestants, you would see mass conversion to the One True Faith over-night.
But in any event, I agree that the inside baseball of "Protestants caused this mess" is an incorrect conclusion. People are fallen and civilizations go through periods of decline.
Even if we were all Catholic, I highly doubt we could have avoided where we are now without some other serious soul searching. The experience of "We're not really Catholic anymore" Ireland attests to that.

I’d still be careful to tell someone I didn’t know but lots of people know where I stand. I’m not alone.
There is also more and more talk on the ‘respectable’ right side how to deal with the immigrant problem. Housing, welfare and such for immigrants is now controversial.

I’ve read about a fair amount of Anglicans in England who have jumped ship to Catholicism simply to try and stay out of heresy.
The problem with the Catholic Neotraditionalists like George Weigel and presumably yourself, AM, is that they reduce all their theology to its cultural embodiments, and metaphysics or theology as such plays no part in it. If these people whom you've read about actually cared about being correct, they would have abandoned their Anglicanism in their early adulthood like Ronald Knox, which is to say, as soon as they were capable of reflecting upon its theological errors. The fact that they are willing to switch creeds now only to avoid the cultural rot, while doing so is good in itself, actually displays a lack of genuine religious attitude. (Novus Ordo Catholics, by the way, commit an equal and opposite error by stubbornly sticking with the institutional Church despite it having adopted the heresies of Vatican II.) If the implication is that they would have gone happily along with the Church of England as long as she continued to look and act high-church conservative, their principled stand against heresy is less than convincing.Replies: @Old Palo Altan, @AM

Your implication that the Reformation was heresy and Catholicism is true Christianity is dubious. Your argument is that only Catholicism can save global Europa from suicide? The papists are the ones who’ve demanded America throw open her borders to hordes of third worlders because said third worlders are Catholic and can enlarge the Church’s shrinking American community. The papists are the ones who’ve fought every effort to have third worlders adopt sensible birth control policies, again because their real politik strategy is to increase the number of tithe payers at any cost to society at large. The popes, Francis perhaps more than any other, are politicians at the head of a political institution.
(This is the same “Christianity,” remember, that facilitated who-knows-how-many molestations rather than face political scrutiny. That was 10-15 years ago. And let’s not forget the women’s and children’s homes in Ireland several decades ago. These are but two recent of the endless litany of shocking Catholic Church abuses.)
Anyway, it's not like America's issues been solved with contraception. There is sound evidence that wide spread contraceptive use increases rates of promiscuity, disease and abortion. Conversely, married couples are no longer reproducing the population.
Meanwhile, the Catholic church says, only as many children as you can reasonably support. That's the actual teaching. That doesn't sound like tithe payers at any cost to me. And at any rate, the major supporters of any modern church are always old people. Young people have to feed all those children, remember?
That's why the Catholic church is not quite going down yet - they've lost all the young people (so much for big families) but the old people keep putting their donations. Starting in about 10-15 years the local stories will be nothing but parish closing after parish closing as the old die off. That's already started in the north.Replies: @Anon

Diversity is antithetical to Unity… but Commonality of Interests holds Diversity together.
So, Diversity + Common Hatred for Whitey = Unity(for the time being).
What’s vaguely holding Catholicism together right now is the idea that the beliefs themselves (the deposit of the faith) are not changeable, ie up for a vote.
The idea is that the truth is the truth and once it’s discovered, you can only discover new pieces of it, rather like a sailor discovering New England and then sailing Florida. Whatever it is you discover, it won’t contradict or remove whatever was previously discovered, which is why it’s not changeable.
There are other fancier ways to say it, but that’s how I understand it.
Anyway, that concept appears to be our only barrier to completely heading down the path of Protestants. I’d say maybe 1/3 to 2/3 of our bishops and Priests don’t actually believe the Magisterium (our term for the deposit of the faith) . Our Pope is clearly an a Islamophile who only tenuously believes in Catholic principles. (A Catholic Priest emphasizing the liturgical importance of Holy Thursday Mass would not wash the feet of women, let alone Muslims. It’s this side of insult to Christ to wash the feet of non-believers.)
It’s bit a frustrating to actually not have clear answer to the once rhetorical question: “Is the Pope Catholic?”
Believing in revelations later than the Book of Revelations is not requirement for the Catholic faith, but if you take Fatima seriously, there’s a suggestion that Rome may fall in the near future.
Italy already has armed guards with machine guns around the walls of the Vatican, as a well meaning country Priest bumbles around washing Islamic feet. It is not inconceivable that ISIS or some other organization could attack the very heart of Catholicism. The Vatican is not that big and it would not take much, in end, even with armed guards.
If people believed in what the Catholic church teaches and what almost all mainline Protestant denominations taught pre-1960, resisting Islam wouldn’t be difficult. We’d be all focused on saving our own souls, we’d know the 10 commandments and what we need to do, and we’d know that what Islam taught was total poo.
But a staggering number of Catholics, even those who go to Mass regularly, don’t believe in Hell or sin or anything remotely like what’s in Catholicism for Dummies or what say, Dante or Shakespeare understood to be true.
In other words, it appears that there a bunch of pagans, to more or lessor degrees, standing in churches, going through motions in most places in the West . So no, as a group, we’re not offering up resistance to Islam because that’s not what can pagans can do out of their mental framework. We have the tools but we seem to be lacking in proper Christian soldiers to use them.
If modern Westerners were really pagans, they would be converting to the One True Church in droves. The One True Church is good at converting pagans. Post-protestant savages, not so much.

Tacitus – Germania would really open your eyes. Julius Caesar also wrote in detail about pagan German society. Quite the opposite of vomit. Read, and pay close attention to the descriptions of German political customs and sexual mores.
Everyone likes to throw around the term “cuck” – according to Julius Caesar, groups of Celtic men shared wives, and didn’t care about accurately attributing paternity. Celts had Queens (e.g. Boudica). German mores could be summarized as the exact opposite.
“…neither from the Samnites, nor from the Carthaginians, nor from both Spains, nor from all the nations of Gaul, have we received more checks and alarms; nor even from the Parthians: for, more vigorous and invincible is the liberty of the Germans than the monarchy of the Arsacides.”
-Tacitus
Where polyandry has existed it is usually some condition of extreme scarcity, where a male can't provide to support a wife and her children. I've heard of cases in Nepal's "backwoods"--out in the boonies at high elevation, low productivity land. And then it's a wife shared with brothers where paternity is "in the family".
Absent extreme scarcity of resources (i.e. land) this is just not going to happen. Any men who practiced it would be pushed aside by men who did not practice it. Any society that practiced it would be pushed aside by a society (men) who did not practice it. The Celts would have been swept aside long ago and wouldn't have even been around for the Romans to fight if they were polyandrous.

Perhaps better to have been alive in 1950 – full employment, a health service, decent company pensions, affordable housing, and a low-crime Christian society. If you were lucky you could work your 40 years and retire comfortably.
On the other hand you’d watch with increasing concern the destruction of the society you grew up in, and the diminishing life prospects for your grandchildren (if any), whereas our 1859 Brit could look back in 1900 on years of improvement (hard-fought for).
...and they could & did confidently look forward to even more & better. It must have been wonderful.
And then came the world wars. Nothing has been the same since then.

Irish Travellers have undergone a very strong “boiling off” of educational talent, since a proportion leave the community in each generation and join the Settled community. The ones who leave are more compatible with the Settled lifestyle (education and steady work) and less with the Traveller lifestyle. This gives rise, even over only 5-10 generations, in a concentration of particular genotypes within the community. Greg Cochrane wrote about the same “boiling off” effect (favouring different genotypes) among the US Amish.

This is an interesting article about Kubitschek in the NYT, which makes it appear that he has some influence in German politics. True? The American press is terrible at covering internal politics in non-English speaking countries.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/10/magazine/the-prophet-of-germanys-new-right.html
It is interesting that the author appears conflicted because he knows Kubitschek is supposed to be a bad guy, but seems personally impressed by his thoughtfulness and seriousness. The few comments are worth a read as well.
That's the second correct article about Kubitschek in the New York Times. The first was by Christopher Caldwell and focused mainly on Rolf Peter Sieferles little thoughtful and insightful book "Finis Germania".
By the way: Sieferles even better book is "Das Migrationsproblem" - with one (small) caveat: Sieferle neglects the heredity of IQ, he wrote as a blank slater.

I watched the entire 1 hour 43 minute discussion on youtube, CB.

It was very good once they got into the thick of it wrt the feminism, though. Both of these 2 seek the truth, and some of what they said you’d never hear from their colleagues.

Of course, that could only happen if its less insane roots came calling, sword in hand. Given the “dare I bomb an abortion clinic” level of its less insane roots’ dialogue, I think we’ll be waiting a long time for that.
The idea is that the truth is the truth and once it's discovered, you can only discover new pieces of it, rather like a sailor discovering New England and then sailing Florida. Whatever it is you discover, it won't contradict or remove whatever was previously discovered, which is why it's not changeable.
There are other fancier ways to say it, but that's how I understand it.
Anyway, that concept appears to be our only barrier to completely heading down the path of Protestants. I'd say maybe 1/3 to 2/3 of our bishops and Priests don't actually believe the Magisterium (our term for the deposit of the faith) . Our Pope is clearly an a Islamophile who only tenuously believes in Catholic principles. (A Catholic Priest emphasizing the liturgical importance of Holy Thursday Mass would not wash the feet of women, let alone Muslims. It's this side of insult to Christ to wash the feet of non-believers.)
It's bit a frustrating to actually not have clear answer to the once rhetorical question: "Is the Pope Catholic?"
Believing in revelations later than the Book of Revelations is not requirement for the Catholic faith, but if you take Fatima seriously, there's a suggestion that Rome may fall in the near future.
Italy already has armed guards with machine guns around the walls of the Vatican, as a well meaning country Priest bumbles around washing Islamic feet. It is not inconceivable that ISIS or some other organization could attack the very heart of Catholicism. The Vatican is not that big and it would not take much, in end, even with armed guards.
If people believed in what the Catholic church teaches and what almost all mainline Protestant denominations taught pre-1960, resisting Islam wouldn't be difficult. We'd be all focused on saving our own souls, we'd know the 10 commandments and what we need to do, and we'd know that what Islam taught was total poo.
But a staggering number of Catholics, even those who go to Mass regularly, don't believe in Hell or sin or anything remotely like what's in Catholicism for Dummies or what say, Dante or Shakespeare understood to be true.
In other words, it appears that there a bunch of pagans, to more or lessor degrees, standing in churches, going through motions in most places in the West . So no, as a group, we're not offering up resistance to Islam because that's not what can pagans can do out of their mental framework. We have the tools but we seem to be lacking in proper Christian soldiers to use them.Replies: @Bill, @Pericles
Great stuff. I’d demure on this though:
It’s good to recall that Plato, Aristotle, and Marcus Aurelius were pagans. Modern Westerners are more like savages than pagans. The materialist technology holding everything up obscures this fact.
If modern Westerners were really pagans, they would be converting to the One True Church in droves. The One True Church is good at converting pagans. Post-protestant savages, not so much.

I've read about a fair amount of Anglicans in England who have jumped ship to Catholicism simply to try and stay out of heresy.Replies: @Intelligent Dasein, @Anon
Um….Anglicanism is heresy. That ship-jumping needed to occur 500 years ago in order to be credible. Today it only signifies a desire to avoid the rainbow stole-wearing, openly gay priest.
The problem with the Catholic Neotraditionalists like George Weigel and presumably yourself, AM, is that they reduce all their theology to its cultural embodiments, and metaphysics or theology as such plays no part in it. If these people whom you’ve read about actually cared about being correct, they would have abandoned their Anglicanism in their early adulthood like Ronald Knox, which is to say, as soon as they were capable of reflecting upon its theological errors. The fact that they are willing to switch creeds now only to avoid the cultural rot, while doing so is good in itself, actually displays a lack of genuine religious attitude. (Novus Ordo Catholics, by the way, commit an equal and opposite error by stubbornly sticking with the institutional Church despite it having adopted the heresies of Vatican II.) If the implication is that they would have gone happily along with the Church of England as long as she continued to look and act high-church conservative, their principled stand against heresy is less than convincing.
The same is now underway in the Church of Rome. The victory of absolute faithlessness brought about by the flawed election of the unspeakable Bergoglio has now developed to the extent that the broad winks about woman deacons and then priests recently displayed by the just nominated Bishop of Innsbruck are hardy deemed worthy of comment, much less the furious denunciation they require. Orthodox Catholics are close to despair: only the tiniest handful of bishops have evinced even the mildest concern over the overthrow, not merely of morality, but of honest argument and logical thought, thus revealing themselves to be ladder-climbers (like Dolan of New York) or rank heretics (like Cupich of Chicago) or plain stupid papolators (like most of the rest).

You are certainly right about the Anglicans. They love their personal sub-culture much more than they love Truth. That sub-culture is notable for a high level knowledge of the early Church, the Fathers, etc, and usually a good sense of what liturgy is (even when they rarely put that knowledge into practice). And they never left the Anglican sect – they were driven out over the last fifty years.

Tacitus - Germania would really open your eyes. Julius Caesar also wrote in detail about pagan German society. Quite the opposite of vomit. Read, and pay close attention to the descriptions of German political customs and sexual mores.
Everyone likes to throw around the term "cuck" - according to Julius Caesar, groups of Celtic men shared wives, and didn't care about accurately attributing paternity. Celts had Queens (e.g. Boudica). German mores could be summarized as the exact opposite.

-TacitusReplies: @AnotherDad, @Anonymous, @Pericles
Don’t believe this was even remotely common. JC might have seen or heard some tiny examples of this, but it certainly could not have been a common Celt practice as the Celts were a successful people. I’m guessing this sort of “fake news” stemmed from snippets of incomplete information about the Celts (and particularly Celtic Britons) that noted/highlighted the reality that Celtic women did generally have more freedom and more rights than Roman women. But widespread polyandry–no.
Where polyandry has existed it is usually some condition of extreme scarcity, where a male can’t provide to support a wife and her children. I’ve heard of cases in Nepal’s “backwoods”–out in the boonies at high elevation, low productivity land. And then it’s a wife shared with brothers where paternity is “in the family”.
Absent extreme scarcity of resources (i.e. land) this is just not going to happen. Any men who practiced it would be pushed aside by men who did not practice it. Any society that practiced it would be pushed aside by a society (men) who did not practice it. The Celts would have been swept aside long ago and wouldn’t have even been around for the Romans to fight if they were polyandrous.
Sex is real. Sexual inclinations, incentives, imperatives are real. Sexual dimorphism is real. Regardless of what the Google matriarchy is claiming. Feminist fantasies are always just that–fantasies.
Of course, being celts, it could easily end in arson, slaughter and generations of bloodfeud if not handled delicately. The serfs naturally didn't get that choice.I think the polyandry story is Caesar's (informants'), about what he refers to as the "aboriginals" of the interior of the Big Island, allegedly living on milk and meat, dressed in skins, semi-nomadic, and a set of brothers (this is important) "holding their wife/wives in common". Sounds about right for Derbyshire or Westmorland even now (/jeremy kyle).
The reason for the "distributed paternity" of men descended from a common father, in possibly relict upland groups under extreme pressure from more powerful, civilized, maybe more "Gaulish" tribes, was the chronic intergroup violence which would inevitably result in crippling numbers of unsupported widows and children, and hence the death of the tribe, if some maintenance and inheritance system wasn't devised to route round this, as the survivors could distribute the cost burden across the extended family. So direct paternity was deliberately obscured by chucking the chariot keys into a cauldron when the occasion arose, at feasts and I dunno, May Day and Midsummer moonlight raves.
The same deal occurred among some militaristic castes in southern India, I believe.Replies: @Millennial

No, not really. Still smarting over not getting that theology right with dude with the 100 kids? Sorry.
Anglicanism is more schism than heresy. The only heresy introduced was the divorce that King Henry the VIII wanted. The schism was rejecting papal authority.
CS Lewis had difficultly getting married to a divorced woman in the 1940’s, because culturally the Catholic morals had still held all the way until then. I went to both Catholic and Episcopalian Masses as a kid on Christmas…and basically it was the same format, but the Episcopalian Mass was nicer. Now with women priests and “rainbow” junk, it’s toast from theological standpoint.
There was also a deliberate messing of apostolic succession, but I like to think the Creator of Heaven and Earth could repair that.
Vatican II did not introduce heresies. Priests and Bishops have used VII to preach heresies, but nothing in the documents changed anything about the Magisterium. Rome is well within it’s rights to change the Mass (the liturgy). VII was not the first time it’s ever done so by the way, it just hadn’t changed things for a very long.
The bottom line is if you think you’re going to Heaven because you go to Latin Mass, well check in with what Jesus thought about the Pharisees. The reverence for God is with your heart and mind, not the form of the Mass. God is not limited to the Latin Mass, nor in his powers to save to particular human form.

Anyway, it’s not like America’s issues been solved with contraception. There is sound evidence that wide spread contraceptive use increases rates of promiscuity, disease and abortion. Conversely, married couples are no longer reproducing the population.
Meanwhile, the Catholic church says, only as many children as you can reasonably support. That’s the actual teaching. That doesn’t sound like tithe payers at any cost to me. And at any rate, the major supporters of any modern church are always old people. Young people have to feed all those children, remember?
That’s why the Catholic church is not quite going down yet – they’ve lost all the young people (so much for big families) but the old people keep putting their donations. Starting in about 10-15 years the local stories will be nothing but parish closing after parish closing as the old die off. That’s already started in the north.

Where polyandry has existed it is usually some condition of extreme scarcity, where a male can't provide to support a wife and her children. I've heard of cases in Nepal's "backwoods"--out in the boonies at high elevation, low productivity land. And then it's a wife shared with brothers where paternity is "in the family".
Absent extreme scarcity of resources (i.e. land) this is just not going to happen. Any men who practiced it would be pushed aside by men who did not practice it. Any society that practiced it would be pushed aside by a society (men) who did not practice it. The Celts would have been swept aside long ago and wouldn't have even been around for the Romans to fight if they were polyandrous.

In early medieval insular celtic societies (i.e. Gaels and Cymri) who one’s father was was of critical importance, if only to establish one’s standing before the Law. Mother didn’t count for much, apart from her not being a slave. Although if the dad was elite enough, even that could be overlooked.
They were a bit sloppy about the Top Chads fathering children at random all over, understandable as the super-glamorous military caste tended to have short, violent, peripatetic lives, and big proprietors (“kings”) were not averse to inserting the odd bastard into the broods of their tenants/kinsmen (same thing, that’s how it worked).
Usually compensated by gifts of cattle, slaves, land etc. and a closer political incorporation with the local power structure, so not entirely unappreciated by the cuckfather oops sorry now blood brother involved, as the whole setup teetered constantly on its Malthusian threshold.
Of course, being celts, it could easily end in arson, slaughter and generations of bloodfeud if not handled delicately. The serfs naturally didn’t get that choice.
I think the polyandry story is Caesar’s (informants’), about what he refers to as the “aboriginals” of the interior of the Big Island, allegedly living on milk and meat, dressed in skins, semi-nomadic, and a set of brothers (this is important) “holding their wife/wives in common”. Sounds about right for Derbyshire or Westmorland even now (/jeremy kyle).
The reason for the “distributed paternity” of men descended from a common father, in possibly relict upland groups under extreme pressure from more powerful, civilized, maybe more “Gaulish” tribes, was the chronic intergroup violence which would inevitably result in crippling numbers of unsupported widows and children, and hence the death of the tribe, if some maintenance and inheritance system wasn’t devised to route round this, as the survivors could distribute the cost burden across the extended family. So direct paternity was deliberately obscured by chucking the chariot keys into a cauldron when the occasion arose, at feasts and I dunno, May Day and Midsummer moonlight raves.
The same deal occurred among some militaristic castes in southern India, I believe.
True. This reminds me of the internet neo-pagans who blame the introduction of Christianity for the decline of the West, which also started circa 1965. It was a slow acting poison, I guess.
imo the big change came when the media took over as the dominant moral authority and dismantled the traditional culture (admittedly helped by the aforementioned pathological altruist streak).
Unfortunately by the time mass broadcast media and mass circulation news magazines were ready to achieve full-spectrum dominance, the Rockefeller and similar foundations had been doing about four decades of preparatory work. The nearly unlimited financial resources of the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford etc foundations -- plus the state and private broadcasters in the US, UK, Canada & Australia -- took the world-view of the Fabian Society from the drawing rooms of a few resentful cranks to being practically the only show in town in the Anglosphere.

True – ancient literary sources must be taken with several grains of salt.
That being said, both Caesar and Tacitus rather corroborate each other on the strict monogamy of the ancient Germans (which was explicitly associated with both patriarchy and military prowess).
Both Caesar and Diodorus Siculus described the Celts as, well, inclined the opposite way.
(There’s also the remark made by a Caledonian queen to the wife of Septimius Severus, essentially that Celtic women enjoyed openly consorting with whomever they desired – can’t recall what text that’s in at the moment.)
Overall, the literary evidence is that the Celts inclined to polyandry and matriarchy, and the Germans did not. Also, interestingly, Caesar describes Celts as much more superstitious and given to human sacrifice than the Germans.
Stupidity and ignorance are different things though commonly equated. It’s possible to be smart and ignorant, just as it’s possible to be educated and dumb.

I once stepped-in to do a lecture on family structure and I found a video in the library. The film showed men with multiple wives, and that community you mention, perched on the side of a mountain where a woman marries all the brothers. Well. I can tell you that the only woman with a smile on her face was the one married to the brothers!
Also, the trades have done better during the recession than low-level corporate jobs. Nowadays, the UK ‘working class’ is clerical, data input, call centres etc, rather than manual. Some private schools are now putting pupils into apprenticeships. There is job satisfaction in manual work.
There is also more and more talk on the 'respectable' right side how to deal with the immigrant problem. Housing, welfare and such for immigrants is now controversial. The incompetence of the police has been for a while. Most of the left is still in denial but I know for sure that many of the older males on that side share the same concerns as many on the right.
This site tracks Sweden Democrats' poll numbers. Last election was Sep 14 where they had 12.86% of votes. Do compare with the polls and draw your own conclusions for this year.

Election is approaching (September 2018) and the Social Democrats, the ruling party in coalition with the Greens, are running on being tough on immigration. Lol, Prime Minister Löfven is even being compared to Trump in (((one paper))). I’m not sure about the details of this, and it might just be a ruse to head off the deplorable Sweden Democrats, but it does indicate what the electorate cares about.
Interestingly, the media and other parties haven’t complained much about the obvious racism of this either, as far as I know. Even the traitorous Greens. I’d thus guess the internal polls indicate a big tilt against the irresponsible and destructive immigration policies we’ve had since Reinfeldt.
The Sweden Democrats, outcasts of parliament, will probably continue to soak up the anti-immigration votes. I expect they will become the second largest party, but I wouldn’t say it’s entirely impossible that they actually become largest. The systemic shock would be immense and I’m not sure they could form a functioning governing coalition, so things then would get interesting indeed. They should also take the opportunity to recruit talent and sharpen their political programs while they’re being studiously ignored. It’s not enough to just be the protest vote party, we want you to build that wall and deport them all once you get into power.
The opposition parties, nominally of the right, are in disarray. They had a coalition which now seems to be fading. The Moderates, the main right party, just changed leadership, getting rid of an uninspiring incompetent woman, but the new guy appears to be just one of those tax proposal bugmen. Nobody cares and they will be wiped out if they don’t wise up. The Center party, formerly the farmers’ party but now run by Stockholm bugmen with a woman leader rubbing shoulders with the Bilderberg group, seems to be the globalist party. I wonder who will vote for them this time around? Gay pride? The Liberals, almost the definition of straddling left-right in Sweden, appear to be in a coma; they might get some inertia voters but who else? The Christian Democrats were flirting with immigration skepticism some time ago, then drew back from the abyss of non-niceness, and now seem to be drifting.
The remaining leftwing parties are the ex-communist Left Party, again, probably reliant on nostalgic voters, and the Greens, ambitious globalist ex-communists who, however, embarrassingly almost became a Turkish satellite party a little while ago. They have kept their heads down since then. There is also the spoiler party of Feminist Initiative which drains a couple of percentage points of leftist votes but doesn’t get into parliament. I believe their most recent leader, a negro academic, has been charged with various criminal offences from plagiarism and upwards, and resigned. Outlook is dim.
Most of these parties are just keeping their noses above water and run the risk of disappearing from parliament by just losing a percentage point or two of the vote. Only the Moderates, Sweden Democrats and Social Democrats are large parties.
When I summarize it like this, by golly it sounds like 2018 will be a showdown between Social Democrats and Sweden Democrats. Still early days though.
I read most every week about mysterious acid attacks, stabbings, runaway cars and bombs in Britain. Maybe that’s what ‘countering Islam’ means?

The idea is that the truth is the truth and once it's discovered, you can only discover new pieces of it, rather like a sailor discovering New England and then sailing Florida. Whatever it is you discover, it won't contradict or remove whatever was previously discovered, which is why it's not changeable.
There are other fancier ways to say it, but that's how I understand it.
Anyway, that concept appears to be our only barrier to completely heading down the path of Protestants. I'd say maybe 1/3 to 2/3 of our bishops and Priests don't actually believe the Magisterium (our term for the deposit of the faith) . Our Pope is clearly an a Islamophile who only tenuously believes in Catholic principles. (A Catholic Priest emphasizing the liturgical importance of Holy Thursday Mass would not wash the feet of women, let alone Muslims. It's this side of insult to Christ to wash the feet of non-believers.)
It's bit a frustrating to actually not have clear answer to the once rhetorical question: "Is the Pope Catholic?"
Believing in revelations later than the Book of Revelations is not requirement for the Catholic faith, but if you take Fatima seriously, there's a suggestion that Rome may fall in the near future.
Italy already has armed guards with machine guns around the walls of the Vatican, as a well meaning country Priest bumbles around washing Islamic feet. It is not inconceivable that ISIS or some other organization could attack the very heart of Catholicism. The Vatican is not that big and it would not take much, in end, even with armed guards.
If people believed in what the Catholic church teaches and what almost all mainline Protestant denominations taught pre-1960, resisting Islam wouldn't be difficult. We'd be all focused on saving our own souls, we'd know the 10 commandments and what we need to do, and we'd know that what Islam taught was total poo.
But a staggering number of Catholics, even those who go to Mass regularly, don't believe in Hell or sin or anything remotely like what's in Catholicism for Dummies or what say, Dante or Shakespeare understood to be true.
In other words, it appears that there a bunch of pagans, to more or lessor degrees, standing in churches, going through motions in most places in the West . So no, as a group, we're not offering up resistance to Islam because that's not what can pagans can do out of their mental framework. We have the tools but we seem to be lacking in proper Christian soldiers to use them.Replies: @Bill, @Pericles

Tacitus - Germania would really open your eyes. Julius Caesar also wrote in detail about pagan German society. Quite the opposite of vomit. Read, and pay close attention to the descriptions of German political customs and sexual mores.
Everyone likes to throw around the term "cuck" - according to Julius Caesar, groups of Celtic men shared wives, and didn't care about accurately attributing paternity. Celts had Queens (e.g. Boudica). German mores could be summarized as the exact opposite.
"...neither from the Samnites, nor from the Carthaginians, nor from both Spains, nor from all the nations of Gaul, have we received more checks and alarms; nor even from the Parthians: for, more vigorous and invincible is the liberty of the Germans than the monarchy of the Arsacides."

You have Anglicanism wrong here. It is just vaguely possible (or used to be) to shoehorn Anglican theology into an orthodox mold, because Anglicanism (which was really formed under Elizabeth rather than Henry) is deliberately as doctrinally vague as possible.
If you think the word “heresy” should not be used for the Anglicans that’s fine with me. Take it up with St. Edmund Campion or Fr. William Weston.
If you read CS Lewis, there's nothing there a Catholic wouldn't write. I've encountered Anglicans that are Catholics, with basically a nicer English liturgy, and disagreement about the Pope and BC within the context of marriage. That's it.
The concept of a God sanctioned divorce and birth control is heresy and I'm not arguing that it isn't either.
But it's silly (to me anyway) to look at a conservative, traditional Anglican and say "Heretic!". They're far more in agreement with an orthodox Catholic than even Lutherans. It makes sense - King Henry the VII split over politics, power, and money. He wasn't a theologian. (Very English, in the end.) To define a primarily schismatic initial break as primarily heresy is to mischaracterize the difference between faithful Catholics and Anglicans.
