Teacher Evaluations Could Be Hurting Faculty Diversity at Universities
By Carla D. Pratt (LINK to article)
It is inherent to human nature to be biased in favour of one's own tribe, race or ethnic group, but the American state, i.e. its academic elite (in collaboration with their European colleagues), whose example other elites are bound to follow, has embraced an ideology which demonises such prejudice as "racist", equating it with the evils of Jim Crow, Apartheid and, of course, Nazism.
What began as an understandable overreaction* to the madness and horrors of especially Nazi racial ideology, was quickly transformed into an instrument of socio-political intimidation, rewards, punishments, manipulation and control, a secular replacement, effectively, for the power-political role of medieval church ideology, with racial prejudice taking the place of original sin.
* The Editorial Board itself warns of the dangers of such overreaction in a recent editorial, The Price of Fear: "In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism comes the risk that society will lose its way."
The state's claim to moral authority on the basis of this grotesque overreaction to Nazism has indeed caused society to lose its way - very badly indeed.
If we are to deal with our social, political, economic and environmental problems in a rational and civilised fashion, we need to understand and work WITH evolved human nature, rather than demonising and suppressing certain aspects of it for the purpose of state control (see BLOG in which I elaborate).

Liberals have brought Donald Trump on Themselves
What Donald Trump Has Built
By Andrew Rosenthal, December 15 2015 (LINK to article)
The liberal left has screwed white America with it ideology of white racial self-denial, self-contempt and yes, self-hatred - a grotesque overreaction to European imperialism, Jim Crow, Apartheid and, of course, Nazism.
It was the kind of overreaction which the Editorial Board itself warns about in a recent editorial, The Price of Fear": “In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism comes the risk that society will lose its way."
Western society has indeed lost its way, led by the "progressive" liberal left, and Donald Trump is a natural response to that, which the liberal left seeks to demonise.
I'm not a fan of Donald Trump, but I'm even less a fan of the liberal left's ideology of white racial self-denial and self-contempt, which it urgently needs to recognise for what it is: part of the age-old strategy of “divide and rule”, dividing society into a morally superior, now supposedly "colour-blind", (white) elite and the morally inferior, naturally (human nature being what it is) less colour-blind, (still predominantly white) masses, who must submit to the authority of and domination by their "moral superiors".

Why the Obsession with Promoting DIVERSITY?
What Israel Tells Us About Affirmative Action and Race
By
It strikes me as paradoxical that while government is obsessed with increasing ethnic diversity on university campuses and elsewhere (necessarily at the expense of the still dominant white majority), everyone with any sense of their own ethnic identity wants to see their own ethnic group increase in size and influence.
This is madness, and the sooner we recognise it as such and develop an understanding of it the better.
The method to this madness, which is based on an ideology of white racial self-denial and self-contempt (an extreme and totally inappropriate, but politically highly exploitable, overreaction to European imperialism, Jim Crow, Apartheid and, of course, Nazism), serves the age-old strategy of “divide and rule”, dividing society into a morally superior, now supposedly "colour-blind", (white) elite and the morally inferior, naturally (human nature being what it is) less colour-blind (still predominantly white), masses, who must submit to the authority of and domination by their "moral superiors".
Original sin (disobedience of divine, i.e. priestly/state authority) of medieval church ideology has been replaced by "racial prejudice" (the natural human inclination - like original sin - to identity with members of one's own tribe, race or ethnic group, which was made responsible for the Holocaust and equated with the evils of Nazi racism) of secular, post-racial multicultural ideology, which only submission to priestly/academic/state ideology and authority can save us from eternal damnation for, not as heathens and heretics, as in the past, but as "bigots" and "racists".

Left Loves to Portray Opponents as "Far Right" Haters
The Rise of Hate Search
By Evan Soltas and Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, Dec. 12, 2015 (LINK to article)
I don't feel any hatred towards Muslims, but I feel very angry at those, especially on the liberal left, who have facilitated the mass migration of millions of Muslims, and other poor-world people, into the West for economic and ideological reasons by demonising those who, for very good reasons, have warned against it, as xenophobes and racists.
The NYT has been prominent in promoting this madness, which it seems to view as a moral crusade (misguidedly believing that it is good for society), yet when things go pear-shaped, as they most certainly have in regard to home-grown Islamic terrorism, instead of admitting their mistake and seeking to understand it, they blame the islamophobia, xenophobia or racism of OTHERS instead, especially on the "far right", i.e. as far removed from THEMSELVES, on the left, as possible.
The whole notion of "celebrating DIVERSITY" is madness, Orwellian newspeak, no less, for America's white majority to celebrate its own ethnic displacement (white flight), replacement (soon whites will be an ethnic minority) and ultimate demise.
How to explain this madness?
The NYT's Editorial Board itself provides the answer in a recent editorial, The Price of Fear, in which it says, very wisely, “In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism comes the risk that society will lose its way."
Society has indeed lost its way, in overreaction to Nazism and its insane racial ideology, going to the opposite but equally insane extreme of denying the importance of racial and ethnic identity altogether. See BLOG in which I elaborate.

America's Gun Lobby, Symptom of a Non-Nation
Gunmakers’ War Profiteering on the Home Front
By The Editorial Board, Dec. 11 2015 (LINK to editorial)
And it's not just the gun lobby, but those of ALL major industries, some less, some more harmful, especially when one thinks of the fossil fuel industries, who put their short-sighted commercial self-interests before the very habitability of our planet.
It is no good wagging our fingers at the gun industry, when effectively ALL industries do the same. It's just that the unscrupulousness of other industries is not so blatantly obvious or harmful.
So, if America is not a nation, what is it? it's 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, formerly priestly) clients, at the expense and ultimate self-destruction of society at large.
Why has this not been recognised by the academics we look to as authorities in understanding society and the state? Because, like their medieval predecessors and counterparts, they are themselves privileged clients and employees of our "patron state", with a massive personal self-interest (subconscious more than conscious) in rationalising and defending its role, self-image (as our "nation") and ideologies (social, political, economic and racial, formerly religious), on which the state bases its claim to moral and knowledgeable authority.
The gun lobby is just a symptom of a much deeper malady which threatens the very survival of our civilisation and which I elaborate on in this BLOG.

The NYT's Narrative of White Racial Self-Contempt
Empowering the Ugliness
By Paul Krugman, Dec. 11 2015 (LINK to article)
Is Paul Krugman, like the majority of those who work and write for the NYT, not white himself? Yet he generalises about "angry, xenophobic and racist whites" as if they were a different and despised race, effectively equating them with Nazis.
This is what virtually everyone on the liberal left does, of course, because it is rooted in the ideology they share, so its extremism goes unnoticed. It is, I think, something the Editorial Board itself warns against in a recent editorial, The Price of Fear:

"angry whites who make up a large fraction . . of the G.O.P. "It seems to me that white people, both in Europe and in America, have every reason to be "angry", not least at the liberal left, which, in overreaction to Jim Crow, Apartheid and, of course, Nazism, has embraced an ideology white racial self-denial and self-contempt.

ISIS Manipulates and Exploits Human Nature
How ISIS Makes Radicals
By David Brooks, Dec. 8 2015 (LINK to article)
The state conflates and confounds VERY different aspects of the original tribal environment in which human nature evolved, long before the first states and civilisations emerged from it, with the modern "nation state" now deceitfully posing 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 (especially wealthy and academic - previously, priestly) clients, at the expense and ultimate self-destruction of society at large. Which is why all past civilisations have declined and disappeared. It is why our own civilisation is on course to self-destruct in the decades ahead, and Islam may well replace it.
ISIS is manipulating and exploiting people's tribal nature, just as the Nazis did, and as all states do. We need to understand this, so that we can take charge of the manipulation ourselves, consciously, and direct it in a way that is beneficial both to the individual and to society at large.
By David Brooks, Dec. 8 2015 (LINK to article)
"The purpose of an organization like ISIS is to get people to negate themselves for a larger cause."It is not about "negating" oneself, but realising oneself in a larger cause, which is deeply rooted in our inherently and intensely tribal nature, which, not coincidentally, I think, we are subliminally taught to trivialise, ridicule or demonise, rather than to take seriously and develop a proper understanding of.
