Black Identity Fine, White Identity Racist!

Race, College and Safe Space

By Charles Blow, Nov. 15 2015 (LINK to article)

  ". . safe spaces, for racial sanctuart, . . not by black design, but as a byproduct of white racism. .  [Black] schools, born of hate, [i.e.] white people’s deep desire to resist racial commingling."  

Here we have it: white people's desire to preserve their own racial identity by avoiding "commingling" is assumed to be an expression of racial hatred.

What is so terrible about white people wanting to preserve their own racial identity? Just because America's "progressive" white elites have embraced an ideology of racial self-denial and self-contempt, doesn't mean that all white Americans must do the same.

Race is NOT the "social construct", these political and academic elites would have us - and themselves - believe (except when you try dividing closely related peoples from the same subcontinent into different races, as the Nazis insanely did), but real and important. Not in the way that racial supremacists believe it is, but because central to any deep and meaningful sense of both personal and group identity, which the state clearly doesn't want its citizens to have, least they challenge its claim to "multi-ethnic nationhood".

We are an inherently and intensely tribal animal, which state and capital seek to define, control and exploit for their own power-political and commercial purposes, just as the state once sought to define and control our sexuality.

We urgently need to become aware what is going on, and why. See BLOG in which I elaborate.

How "Progressives" Demonise they Opponents

What Will Come After Paris

By the Editorial Board, Nov. 15 2015 (LINK to editorial)

"in Europe each [atrocity] intensifies the raucous xenophobia of far-right nationalists ever ready to demonize Muslim citizens . . "  

Believe me - a Native Briton who has experienced what it is like being reduced to an ethnic minority in his ancestral homeland (the suburb of London where I was born) - it is not just "far-right nationalists" who are opposed to any more immigration.

The NYT should stop demonising Native European, like myself, for not wanting to suffer the same fate that European Americans inflicted on Native Americans.

I know, there is some way to go before we are reduced to the tiny percentage of the population that Native Americans now are, but we are well on the way, nevertheless. Only, long before it becomes a reality, there will be civil war. A civil war that the NYT and other "progressives" with your absurd demands for endless immigration and globalisation will be primarily responsible for.

You are always going on about race and the need to have a conversation about it. It is time you started to listen to the concerns of your OWN race (most of you are white, I know), who do not share your ideology of white racial self-denial and self-contempt, nor the power-political purpose it serves.

Our Arrogant Academic Priesthood

Men’s Lib!

By Richard V. Reeves and Isabel V. Sawhill, Nov. 14, 2015 (LINK to article)

This article made my skin crawl, but I left it too late to submit a comment.

What I dislike so much about this article is how its authors presume to tell others - specifically men - how they should and shouldn't behave. It seems to me to typify a certain academic attitude towards society and the people who comprise it, which is purely self-serving. They assume and assert an authority that they in no way deserve, reminding me of some clerics.

Here are some quotes from the article:

We have not pushed hard enough to put men in traditionally female roles — that is where our priority should lie now. This is not just about gender equality. The stakes are even higher. The jobs that many men used to do are gone or going fast, and families need two engaged parents to share the task of raising children.  

As painful as it may be, men need to adapt to what a modern economy and family life demand. There has been progress in recent years, but it hasn’t been equal to the depth and urgency of the transformation we’re undergoing.  

Will this transformation be good for men? In the long run, we think so. But in any case they don’t really have a choice. Recent changes in women’s status and in the economy aren’t going to be reversed. Men must either adapt or be left behind.  

These disturbing trends have led many observers to call on boys and men to regain their competitive edge over women, so they can once again be successful breadwinners and leaders. But that’s the wrong message. Rather than trying to recreate a patriarchal past, men have to embrace a more feminine future.  

Until men seize opportunities in these “pink collar” sectors, they will continue to lose out in this dynamic area of the labor market.

Rome Didn't Fall in a Day

‘Trust’ in the News Media Has Come to Mean Affirmation

By Brooke Gladstone, Nov. 12 2015 (LINK to article)

It is a well-know truism: united we stand, divided we fall, so can anyone seriously doubt that our civilisation (not just America, but the West in general) is falling?

Rome didn't fall in a day, and it wasn't clear until after the event, which took centuries, that it had actually happened. Our civilisation is falling a lot faster, but still too slowly for most individuals to notice, especially when the system is still working for them and they are preoccupied with daily life.

It is inconceivable to most people that our civilisation could be over before this present century is, but that, I believe, is the course we are on.

And no, I'm not a "doom monger", but a realist, who can see where we are heading. I'm not the only one, of course. Others see it too, but tend to assume that nothing can be done about it. I disagree. I think that we could do a lot about it, if only we understood the nature of our situation, which, unfortunately, we don't, or rather, the academics we look to as authorities on such matters don't. And that's what counts.

If you will forgive my presumptuousness, I believe that I have a much better understanding of our situation, which I elaborate on in this BLOG.

White Americans: A Dying Race

Despair, American Style

By Paul Krugman, Nov. 9 2015 (LINK to article)

The "style" of this despair may be American, but the cause is as ancient as civilisation itself, because inherently associated with it.

Academics give us a rosy-eyed view of civilisation, because, unlike the majority of people, they belong to one of its privileged elites and have a massive personal self-interest in rationalising and defending it.

The truth, which academics are loath to admit - even to themselves - is that the state, as the basic unit of any civilisation is a social, i.e. economic and power-political, construct, with the primary purpose of facilitating society's SELF-exploitation, to the personal advantage of its ruling elites and favoured (especially wealthy and academic) clients, at the expense, and ultimate self-destruction, of society at large.

Even if they admit this about the past, which with hindsight it is difficult to deny, most academics still expect us to believe that with the advent of the American Revolution, Democracy and universal suffrage everything changed, but it didn't.

How are we (especially academics) to see what we have a narrow and short-sighted personal self-interest in not seeing? By viewing ourselves and our situation from a human-evolutionary perspective: LINK to blog in which I elaborate.

Multi-Ethnic Nationhood an Oxymoronic Absurdity

Why Would I [an Asian American] Join a Party That Doesn’t Really Like Me?

By Marie Tessier, Nov. 5, 2015 (LINK to article)

One needs to remind oneself that the American constitution was written by and for European Americans, who, belonging to the same race of closely related European peoples (including European Jews), had the makings of genuine nationhood.

But there is no such thing as "multi-ethnic nationhood", which is an oxymoronic absurdity on a par with Orwell's Ministries of Peace and Truth.

America is not a nation, but a mercenary "patron state" deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites and the immense power they wield and abuse, to their own personal advantage and that of favoured (especially wealthy and academic) clients, at the expense of society at large.

This is a difficult, painful and frightening truth to recognise and face up to (especially for said elites and favoured clients, who control all the levers of power and influence), but the truth it is and the sooner it is faced up to the better.

Because of their own dependency on it, academics have not been honest with us, or themselves, about the true nature of the state, which I elaborate on in this BLOG.

Correction: This comment has, in the meantime, been approved and published by the NYT (LINK). The few inconsistencies are a result of MY editing.

Our Fatal Attachment to the State

Suicide of a Dishonest Officer

By Charles Blow, Nov. 4 2015 (LINK to article)

The eulogizing words of Officer Gliniewicz’s widow remind me of most people's attitude towards the state, which deceitfully poses as our nation and servant, while at the same time taking us all for a ride.

It's an attitude greatly promoted by the state itself, of course, and by those the ride gives favour and advantage to.

No one would criticise Mrs. Gliniewicz in her grief. It would be inhumane to attempt to disillusion her, and we can afford not to. But in respect to our illusions about the nature of the state it is different. We cannot afford to go on deluding ourselves, because if we do, the ride it is taking us on will destroy us all - even those who are currently enjoying it.

The state conflates and confounds very different aspects of the original tribal environment in which human nature evolved, long before the first ones emerged from it. Now it deceitfully poses as our tribe or nation (our intra- and inter-tribal environment) itself, while at the same time facilitating society’s SELF-exploitation (as an extra-tribal environment) to the personal advantage of its ruling elites and favoured (esp. wealthy and academic) clients, at the expense of society at large.

Just as it would be for Mrs. Gliniewicz, this is a very difficult and painful truth for every citizen to recognise and face up to, but it is what we urgently need to do, if this ride isn't to end in disaster, a kind of collective suicide.
