Despite their rabid hatred for white people, there is something to be salvaged from racial grievance studies. Whiteness is an interesting idea. When you actually “unpack the invisible napsack”, you realize they are just talking about ethnic majorities living in their own lands. Chinese have white privilege in China. The women and blacks running those departments will never realize this.But it does imply the existence of Blackness. The fact that Europe’s infestation of diversity immediately embraced hip-hop suggests more than mere Americanization. It seems to be something that minorities just start doing in modernity. The actively stupid materialism and the need to reject high culture by dragging it to the lowest common denominator are hallmarks of it.

You hit a couple problems with the ice vs sun people. Jewish peoples are sun people, coming from a similar but distinct category of agrarian Middle Eastern peoples. They’re far more intensely tribal than Europeans. Practically speaking nearly every other group takes ethnic loyalty more seriously than we do, making any significant number of other groups in a European/Western country a large problem.

Loved it when Zman referred to the National Review crowd as “finks and cowards.” Paycheck conservatism should draw maximum skepticism/cynicism. Ben Shapiro is mostly in it for the shekels. He claims to value “principles” while voicing indifference toward “the browning of America.” How can any critical thinker subscribe to such blank-slate equalism? Guy is either a dope or a charlatan. But he’s largely safe, which explains his appeal to normies. Zman deserves fifty times the audience of Shapiro (although Shapiro deserves zero audience and fifty times zero equals zero — so never mind).

You speculate on how the Orange Man ended up bringing a nut like John Bolton into the White House. As I recall Bolton’s job just before that was running Sheldon Adelson’s PAC. That might explain it.

Zman. Last year when you was at the Scandza forum in Copenhagen Junes Lokka did some livestreams and interviews after. One of them was with the lawyer, Rasmus Paludan who was later interviewed in his office by Junes. Rasmus told about the 3.rd world immigration to Denmark and some activists actions he has taken. Well. These have later developed to take headlines in Denmark. Rasmus used his freedom of speech to make actions in the ghetto areas all over Denmark with police protection and to burn the Quran . He privat address has been attacked several times. He lives under protection from the danish security. An african from Uganda has called him a racist because he has called africans “low-IQ” and has been convicted at a low court for that. It has been appealed. Last week his did has activities in the area of Copenhagen with the hightest concentration of muslims. It started a total anarchy where cars was put on fire by angry muslims. He later wanted to make another demonstration in a suburb to Copenhagen but the police rejected a permit. Despite he didn’t come the local muslims started 35 fires as a protest. He actions has had the effect that many Danes are suddenly aware of the kind of people there is in the country. Here is some pictures and video of the damages done by angry muslims.

Z, Don Drysdale was not Jewish. You are thinking of his teammate, Sandy Koufax, one of the greatest pitchers of all time.

Real-life activism is just the tip of the iceberg, the “underwater” part being the broad social legitimacy–the “metapolitics”–of what you’re doing.Basically, we’ve just got to keep going with both tracks. I don’t think there’s much point in the above-water and below-water guys criticizing each other, as sometimes happens.It’s easy to say that the activist groups are stupid to put themselves in persecutions’ way, but hey, at least they have the courage to put themselves out there. And how on earth can we ultimately win without any institutional representation?I also don’t think there’s much point in criticizing the words-only or memes-only guys. They’re doing good work in changing minds. They’re digital-age missionaries. Hearts and minds!

Most stores here in Indiana have very prominent displays of Easter stuff but it has the feel of being just another occasion to sell overpriced candy. We went to the store last night and they were out of the large flats of eggs so people were clearly planning on coloring Easter eggs with the kids. You need to get out of Lagos before it is too late.

Dear Z-Man,I have observed that, with a few exceptions, more and more badwhite social media personalities are beginning to engage with each other again, and not in pitched battle. Not sure why this is, but it is good to see.This is the point at which one of the usual suspects usually does the usual bit of provoking an outbreak of purity-spiraling, infighting, or other outrageous spectacle.You and everyone else who has been around this since before 2016 know what I am talking about.But it is hard to remember that every show (or comment thread) is someone’s first, that until now they have always been at war with East Asia, and that it is the first 6 – 18 months after someone has woken up that are the most fraught.Happy Easter,Veg

What a wonderful show, Z. Yes, that is a good idea, taking the odd break to address the denizens of the peanut gallery. It is a fact that some of them are as interesting and engaging as you are. It may seem a piffling thing to you but to me it’s huge: I have actually changed my mind reading stuff here. I can count on one hand the number of guys on the internet that could do that. The vast majority of bloggers just don’t have the integrity or intelligence or the credibility.I am glad you are getting serious about organizing too. As every day passes I become more and more convinced that we are going to have to fight before this is over. Hope I’m wrong about that.

On policing own ranks, I believe this is necessary. But also pretty complicated. A case I saw a documentary on recently and got interested in, on that theme:The Irish civil war 1922-23: after the Irish won very substantial concessions from the Brits in the Anglo-Irish war the year before the result was the Anglo-Irish treaty. This was not any Irish republican’s idea of an ideal state of affairs. Two primary thorns: the ‘6 counties’ (ie Northern Ireland, which had protestant/loyalist majority) would stay w/i the UK. And the rest of Ireland became a dominion, not a republic. Basically the Irish got a mini-Canada, as far as relations w the UK were concerned, where they ‘ideally’ wanted a mini-America.So the two sides of the Irish just went to work on each other, turning all the guns they had previously wielded together against the Brits, on each other. It was brief, probably not too high a tally. But it was really savage.It is important b/c, as far as I can tell, a classic case of a (more or less) successful revolution or rebellion, where the ‘radicals’, the ones who, for psychological reasons cant brook ANY compromise, and the ‘moderates’, went to all-out war. And the ‘Free Staters’, ie ‘pro-treaty’, who were ‘the moderates’, led by Michael Collins, first tried to say ‘look, we just got 90% of the deal from London, we can now work gradually on the rest, ie from dominion to republic and the 6 counties’. They had basically gone from the status of Scotland to the status of Australia, as far as relations w London. And this from an empire that only 20 years before, on the other side of the world, not 50 miles across the Irish Sea, in South Africa, had utterly crushed all semblence of ‘civil society’ among the Boers, with concentration camps, in one of the most ruthlessly effective and successful counter-insurgency campaigns of the 20th century, and won.The ‘radical’ anti-treaties would have none of it, and killed Michael Collins along w some more free staters. The Free State went pretty berserk. Extra-judicial, retaliatory executions, a mess of a slaughter Stalin would have recognized as ‘part and parcel’ of sound statecraft. The lid just flew off the ‘moderates’ and the anti-treaties were crushed. The reason of course being to avoid Ireland rejecting the treaty and getting ‘the full Kitchener’ treatment from Britain’s recently decommissioned multimillion man WW1 army. (They probably wouldnt have, b/c post-WW1 Britain was financially in the pocket of the US and I think that, the Irish vote in the US and all that, had a lot to do w London even agreeing to a deal. But you couldnt know; the British empire was a worn and tired tiger after WW1 but still a tiger and not the poodle it is today).The Irish civil war is a very interesting example of a successful revolution where the ‘moderates’, correctly I think, said ‘okay, we got the essentials of what we needed. Now we need to prevent our own radicals from throwing away the good b/c they didnt get the perfect’. And they managed to do that.Interestingly enouch, both the Boers in South Africa and the anti-treaty side in Ireland lost the armed struggle. And subsequently won the political struggle. South Africa almost became what the Boers had wanted in the first place, after their war. Apartheid was basically the Boers winning politically what they couldnt do militarily. That it eventually fell had nothing to do w losing the Boer war but with ‘the greater currents of history’, far from Southern Africa.And in Ireland, de Valera, the quinessental specimen of the weak, frail, whiny kind of man who cant compromise exactly b/c he is weak and insecure, and who was the political leader of the anti-treaty side, was PM in Ireland for the next many decades. If he had prevailed in the Irish civil war it is quite possible that, his side having rejected any compromise w London, the British army would simply have moved in force from Flanders to Ireland after a 3 year stopover in Blighty.ANY dissident or ‘revolutionary’ (I do not like the latter term but that’s another discussion) movement is going to attract perpetual malcontents who, for personal psychological reasons, cannot accept ANY compromise. And if not reigned in or checked, will throw away genuine but ‘imperfect’ gains for their entire side. This exact phenomenon is so common in history that it must be a trait the of mass psychology of humans. The ones most apt at lighting the powder keg are usually the worst ones at consolidating gains. Eric Hoffer has important stuff to say on this (‘The True Believer’ is a must read but OT). Another example, where this checking didnt happen, was the Russian revolution. The first, provisional, government of Russia after the revolution, didnt check the Bolshevics and the latter ate up the former and prevented Russia from becoming a functioning society for 70 or so years. You could argue that someone should have shot Hitler in 1938-39 too, after he had brought back Germany’s spunk but before he threw it all away b/c he is another classic example of a perpetual malcontent who cant say ‘enough, let’s get away from the poker tabel.’Purging dissident right wont be fun. But I think it will be necessary.

ZMan – I start by saying I do not watch videos on the web and the only pod cast I have really listed to is the one “My favorite Murder” when my fiance and I are driving for long distances. I listed to a couple of minutes of your very first one and only today decided to listen to your latest. Wow, you have come a long way. Your delivery, your sound production (timber, cadence, bass, etc.) is great. I just wanted to congratulate you on your progress. I read you every day and love your writing, but now I think I will begin listening on Fridays as well.

FYI, spent a day in ER this week where your site was blocked. You were in good company. Day, Steyn, Derb, Amren, etc.

We have a very good example of how to deal with the JQ and any other Q…Around the time Napoleon liberated the Jews from their ghettos in Western and Central Europe, Koreans began trickling into Japan. As Japan became more and more industrialized more and more Koreans migrated into Japan.Some of their descendants having lived there for a number of generations still carry a Korean passport. They have no serious political power and there is a glass (grass)ceiling in industry.Any who find this intolerable can return to Korea (some come here). Most stay. Life if pretty good. They live by the rules and protections of the Japanese. Most of the grumbling you hear in these communities is largely due to (((Western))) infiltration into their media.Allow an outside core group political power and you will become subject to their rules. Restrict their access to our ruling core in a couple of ways and they have to assimilate or they have to get lost.Lots of Koreans have completely assimilated into Japanese society and are now considered Japanese…as we once assimilated Jews through voluntary or forced conversions.This would only apply to members of Derbyshire ‘s Arctic Alliance who have been in the West for some time.

In Prague (just visiting) there are Easter trees decorated with giant eggs in many public squares, where are also Easter markets.

Here’s something that came in over the wire from my alma mater this morning–first is probably a hoax, second give a sense of how much the simplest thing will drive the leftists crazy…“Dear Members of the Northwestern Community,In recent weeks, the Northwestern University community learned of two separate incidents suggesting attempts at racial intimidation. I would like to offer an update regarding what we have been able to find about those incidents.When a noose was found in the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion last month, Northwestern’s senior leadership immediately launched an investigation and issued a statement denouncing any attempt to threaten members of our University community. A student came forward to report that she had been using the rope for a class project. After she accidentally left the rope behind, an unknown person fashioned it into the form of a noose, which was subsequently discovered on a table in the complex’s common area.In the second incident, a few weeks ago, a student posted on social media a photo of a sticker found in Allison Dining Hall that read, “It’s Okay to Be White.”Both incidents involve repugnant symbols of hate and intolerance. The noose has ominously represented racial intimidation and violence for generations, and the slogan on the sticker has recently been adopted as code on the part of white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.Northwestern’s senior leadership has in both of these cases reiterated the principles of community that bind us: principles centered on civility, mutual respect and inclusivity. We have heard concerns that more must be done to make all members of this community feel safe and informed, and we take those concerns seriously.Northwestern police continue to investigate both incidents. In both cases, investigators reviewed video surveillance but could not find evidence of the perpetrators. In the case of the sticker found in Allison Dining Hall, police have appealed for witnesses with information to come forward but as of yet have been unable to corroborate the reports made through social media. The campus was searched and no other stickers have been found. More information is needed, and we urge anyone with such information to contact our police at 847-491-3456.Acts of hate, whether premeditated or not, will not go unchallenged at Northwestern University. Those who choose to be a part of the Northwestern community are expected to abide by a code of conduct that does not tolerate such acts.While these investigations continue, we can take pride in the response we have seen from our students, staff and faculty. They have collectively asserted the manner of community that we are and always shall be: One that stands together to prize and protect its extraordinary diversity.Sincerely,Patricia Telles-IrvinVice President for Student Affairs

Another great podcast. We all would prefer that talking/voting will get us out of the mess we’re in, but that is unrealistic. Rather, the crazy will likely escalate until the few remaining adults in the country have finally had enough and there is no choice but take concrete action. When that tipping point arrives, government and it’s LEO auxiliary will overreact and largely focus on ad hoc militia movements. As in the past, those meetings will include at least a few undercover FBI or CIs (and sometimes representing the majority of attendees). We will need to be smarter than that. There is a better paradigm for beating the coming tyranny.

It’s a great point that Andrew Yang is the byproduct of a “buffer zone” between White and East Asian core groups – if you really dig into his background, he is a former CEO for a test prep company, which fits the “striver” stereotype assigned (fairly or unfairly) to highly educated Asians and Whites, and he is the founder of Venture for America, which fits really well into the social views held mostly by white leftists (a la Teach for America). But, to his credit, he’s also made a genuine effort to engage the Core Whites living outside the East and West Coast bubbles, even if he’s unlikely to make the inroads he needs to win the presidency.I predict that American national politics is going to increasingly look like Andrew Yang’s campaign – an unusual identity, sitting on the liminal edges of two or more Core groups, will use their grab-bag status to mix and match all the various tribal goals and resentments to propel themselves to the top while keeping the peace. Kind of reminds me of Old Europe, only with fewer Europeans.

You went to the wrong mall in Helsinki, Z. Stockmann is a high end shopping centre where wealthy old ladies do their shopping. Even the other shopping malls in the centre have more vibrant people, but similar kind of places that you visited in Denmark are further away from the centre where most of the immigrants live. If you visit Helsinki again, take the metro to Itäkeskus. It’s a big mall full of Arabs and Somalis. The name literally means ”East Centre” and people who are not too happy about its customer base often call it ”Middle East Centre”. There are probably more of such places in Denmark, but unfortunately they already exist in Finland too.

Looks like Kate Smith has been properly credentialed to participate in your intro/outro music library.

my confirmation bias was pleased when you mentioned Steyn and VDH as reasonable people…to follow. I’d like to throw in the “Just Right” podcast, the team has been nailing it lately (imho).

The question for Z I have is to come up with a better justification for taxation than, “who will pick the cotton if we free the slaves.” A logical structure that gives some way of limiting government power. If you’re ever going to have working white ethnostate you have to find out how to limit government power else it will become another fight between minority interest groups for the gibs. The only thing I don’t find ridiculous about libertarians is that they understand taxation is theft.

On the topic of oddballs and defectives in our movement, I think it’s important to name names. Both the good and the bad should be named. On the positive side, Weev, Anglin, and Jesse “7th Son” Dunstan have consistently shown good judgement and an ability to learn from mistakes. On the negative side, Chris Cantwell (obviously), Patrick Little, and Hunter Wallace are all defectives and should be avoided. Mike Enoch has repeatedly demonstrated very poor judgement regarding whom he associates with. Feel free to add names below.

white nationalism makes no sense https://twitter.com/MazMHussain/status/1118617316135264256 This is why immigration and, yes, demographic change is necessary. It makes the world safer for People and Color AND “white” people.
