NYT Demonisation of Steve Bannon & White Identity

‘Turn On the Hate’: Steve Bannon at the White House

By the Editorial Board, Nov. 15 2016 (LINK to editorial)

"Mr. Bannon, and his toxic [far-right, white ethno-nationalist] ideology . . "

I don't know Mr Bannon, but I have a lot of sympathy with "ethno-nationalism", which the NYT so despises, along with the whole notion of white, i.e. ethnic European, identity.

White nationalism might have spared Europe centuries of civil war, culminating in WW1, WW2 and the Holocaust. It might also have spared America its own civil war.

White nationalism, as I see it, has nothing to do with white supremacism and is the very opposite of Nazism, which, insanely and self-destructively, divided Europeans into different races, some of which it sought to exterminate. The Nazis were not motivated by racial hatred, but by racial SELF-hatred.

In overreaction to the evil of Nazism and the Holocaust, western academics, and with them its ruling elites, embraced the exact, but equally extreme, opposite ideology of post-racial multiculturalism, which denies the importance - even the very existence - of race altogether (even when it is real and manifest), along with the Orwellian oxymoronic absurdity of "multi-ethnic (multi-racial and multicultural) nationhood".

I'm not suggesting that the NYT love those it sees as enemies, e.g. white nationalists, but that it ceases to hate and demonise them the way it does, and to seek to understand them instead. They are not as evil, nor you at the NYT and the Southern Poverty Law Center as good, as you  imagine.

See my BLOG, where I elaborate on these ideas.

Widening the Divide

I’m Muslim, but My Roommate Supports Trump

By Romaissaa Benzizoune, Nov. 11 2016 (LINK to article)

"Did she really expect me to respect her choice . . ?"

Of course she did. And YOU are the one being divisive by refusing to do so.

She offered you the chance to work on an understanding of WHY she and millions of other Americans chose to vote for Trump, rather than for Clinton, and you rudely declined it. YOU have widened the very divide that you fear.

You don't necessarily have to agree with the other side, but you do need to understand them. Otherwise the path really does lead towards civll war.

America, like western Europe, has had the madness of mass immigration (not just of Muslims)) and DIVERSITY imposed on it by its"progressive" elites, who have dismissed all criticism of it as bigotry, xenophobia or racism.

What is "Celebrating DIVERSITY", for white people, other than Orwellian newspeak for them to celebrate their own ethnic displacement (white flight), replacement (we have already been reduced to an ethnic minority in large swathes of our major cities) and ultimate demise?

Try to see things from mine and your roommate's perspective. Would any majority Muslim country accept Muslims to be reduced to an ethnic minority in their country?

Why are our elites (Clinton & Co) inflicting this madness on their fellow whites and misleading minorities like you? In part it is an overreaction to slavery, Jim Crow and, above all, Nazism and the Holocaust, which I elaborate on in this BLOG.

If America is to Unite . . .

Homeless in America

By Thomas L. Friedman Nov. 8 2016 (LINK to article)

Hillary lost - and deserved to lose - because of her contempt for white American identity. A contempt shared by the NYT and "progressives" in general.

If America is to unite, it has to stop denying the reality and importance of RACE.

The NYT could play a leading role in ending this denial, which is a consequence of an overreaction to the evils of Jim Crow, Apartheid and, above all, Nazism and the Holocaust.

It is exactly the kind of overreaction the NYT itself warned about in an editorial response to the Islamist attacks in Paris last November:

“In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism [evil] comes the risk that society will lose its way.”

America, and the West in general, have indeed lost their way: The West's Overreaction to Nazism.

A More Perfect Union?

Republicans and the Myth of Election Fraud

By William Barber II, Nov. 4 2016 (LINK to article)

"We must press on and vote as never before for a more perfect union and a future that includes all Americans."

"A more perfect union".  What can that mean other than complete assimilation of white America into the global melting pot that America has become?

And not just white Americans, but ALL racial/ethnic identities, so that eventually there will be just ONE "mixed-race American master race".

Is this really what most Americans what to become? I don't think so. I think most Americans want to preserve their racial/ethnic identities.

Forced segregation, according to state requirements (Jim Crow, Apartheid) is an evil, but being an inherently tribal animal, people will segregate naturally into groups whose members are like themselves, i.e. of the same race, ethnicity and culture, sharing the same history.

All states seek to manipulate and control human tribal nature for their own mercenary purposes, which I elaborate on in this BLOG.

The American state is bullying its citizens into an ever closer union most do not really want. But Orwellian doublethink is very much in play, with those demanding a "more perfect union" still striving to retain their OWN ethnic identity.

Please, read the blog I've linked to, which seeks to explain the nature of the state (all states) and our situation (which is dire) from an evolutionary perspective.

Why Do White Liberals Mock Their Own Race?

5 Reasons to Vote Trump

By Nicholas Kristof NOV. 3, 2016 (LINK to article)

"Many Americans troubled by demographic change complain that they have been left disenfranchised. Trump speaks up for such oppressed groups — like white men."

But Nick you are a white man yourself. One might expect you to have more sympathy with members of your own race and gender, but no, instead you show your racial self-contempt by mocking them.

Why? I know, it's what all liberals and "progressives" do. But still, why?

America's founding fathers would be horrified to learn that their descendents will soon become an ethnic minority in the country they founded, and yet you shrug your shoulders at the prospect. You don't seem to care if your race becomes a minority, or disappears entirely. 

Why? How can you not care about that?

I think it is a grotesque overreaction to the evil of Nazism (and Jim Crow), which made a big, ugly and misconceived issue of race, in response to which a previous generation of academics decided that race shouldn't matter at all, that it was just a social construct, only of importance to bigots and racists - like the Nazis.

No one wants to be associated with the Nazis or with racism, so we are forced to embrace an ideology (the exact but equally extreme and insane opposite of Nazi racial ideology) of white racial self-denial and self-contempt.

I elaborate on these ideas, which I believe are very important, HERE.

Don't Mention Darwin,

in a social or political context, except in jest.

Nostalgia for the Grace of George H.W. Bush

by Jon Meacham, Oct 15 2016 (LINK to article, which was approved & published)

"As Henry Adams once remarked of the movement from Washington to Grant, the journey from George H. W. Bush to Donald J. Trump disproves Darwin."

Many a true word is spoken in jest. Only, it's not that Darwin is disproved, so much as mentioned at all in a political context, which is, of course, only permissible as a joke, Darwin having been banned from all political thought in the aftermath of WW2 and the Holocaust.

He was banned, because the Nazis hijacked and abused, for their own evil purposes, the half-baked ideas of social Darwinism.

They may have been half-baked and largely misconceived, but they didn't deserve to be demonised the way they were, and still are.

Darwinian logic has a vital role to play in understanding ourselves, Homo sapiens, human societies and civilisation at large, and the fact that a taboo has been made of it is comparable to the Catholic Church once having made a taboo of the Copernican view of the universe, only much more serious. The taboo on Copernicus delayed our understanding of the universe by just a few decades, while the taboo on applying Darwin to our own species may delay our understanding of civilisation permanently, i.e. fatally.

The reason the world is in such a mess and heading towards an even bigger mess (civilisational breakdown, no less) is because of the complete lack of a human-evolutionary, i.e. Darwinian, perspective in the social and political sciences.

I've made a start on correcting this HERE. 

Latest Batch of Unapproved Comments

Just Like Trump, I Avoided Paying Federal Taxes

by Bert Stratton, Oct. 17 2016 (LINK to article)

If America were a genuine nation, its citizens would be sharing with each other, instead of always being on the make, always seeking their own profit and advantage.

In this America is no different from any other country, of course, but why the deception and deceit of nationhood, when truthfulness is what we really need?

It is because the state legitimises itself, its ruling elites and the immense power they wield and abuse by deceitfully posing as a nation it is not.

This is a difficult, painful and frightening truth to recognise and face up to, but the truth it is, and if western civilisation is to have a future extending beyond the next few decades this is what we (especially academics) have to do (LINK).

My Syllabus, My Self

by Christy Wampole, Oct. 17 2016 (LINK to article)

"We would be able to take a course [great thinkers] privately, separated by time but nonetheless plugged into their brains and hearts."

What separates us from past thinkers, is not just time, but also circumstance and world view. 

We live in very exceptional times and circumstances, which are changing at an unprecedented pace. Things changed in the past, of course, but rarely at a pace that people noticed. Now the rate of change is quite dizzying, which makes many of us sick (I've just read and commented on the editorial about the millions struggling with pain and missing from the labor market (LINK). But not the author of this piece, who has clearly found a secure and satisfying niche for herself in academia. As have most academics, who, at the centre of things are not subjected to the same centrifugal forces and insecurities that affect those on the periphery.

I hope the author will excuse my critical comment, but academics are the ones most people, including our leaders, look to as authorities in understanding the world, which I see hurtling towards oblivion, while they tinker with and delight in their syllabuses.

Millions of Men Are Missing From the Job Market

by Editorial Board, Oct. 16 2016 (LINK to article)

"Millions of American men are struggling with pain and missing from the labor market . . "

The principal, underlying cause, I suggest, is that we are dealing with people, who struggle with being treated as "human resources" and consumers, rather than as the human beings they actually are.

We are taught that state and economy exist to serve society and people (human beings) at large, but this is simply not true.

Then why do we believe it? Because we are naturally inclined to believe what we are taught by those in authority, who are well served by the state and the existing socio-economic order.

Everyone who is anyone in society, with any power or influence (including our teachers in academia) is well served by the state and status quo, which blinds them to their fundamental flaws. The system is working well for them, so they rationalise and defend it, something their above average intelligence makes them very good at.

This presents such a huge challenge that it is tempting to give up on it and simple to make the most of the current, favourable situation while we can, before the system breaks down, as it eventually must.

However, I think we owe it to our children and grandchildren, who are going to experience the fast approaching breakdown, to at least think about this challenge, even if it does seem insurmountable at the moment: http://philosopherkin.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/civilisation-evolutionary-cul-de-sac.html

Their Dark Fantasies

by Paul Krugman, Oct. 17 2016 (LINK to article)

"the portrait of America Mr. Ryan painted last week was, in its own way, as out of touch with reality as the ranting of Donald Trump"

While Nobel Laureate and NYT columnist, Paul Krugman, is fully in touch with reality, of course.

Being a reasonable man, I suspect that Prof. Krugman would not claim to have a perfect grasp of reality, but a pretty good grasp, nevertheless.

But then, who doesn't believe themselves to have a good grasp of reality? How can we not believe this without going mad?

From an evolutionary perspective, our brains evolved a need to believe in the soundness of its sense of reality. Otherwise, it would not know how to respond to its environment, which would cause it distress. It is comforting to be sure of yourself and your view of reality, and have it confirmed by others, especially to the extent that Prof. Krugman has.

Prof. Krugman's view of reality, I believe, is deeply flawed, as is that of most, probably all, people.

My view of reality is also flawed, of course, but less flawed than most, because based on an evolutionary understanding of my species and its situation. An understanding that is blocked to Prof. Krugman, because a previous generation of academics made a taboo of viewing their own species from a evolutionary perspective, in overreaction to the Nazis having hijacked and abused, for their own evil purposes, the half-baked ideas of social Darwinism: http://unapprovedcomments.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/the-wests-overreaction-to-nazism.html

‘Only White People,’ Said the Little Girl

by Topher Sanders, Oct. 13 2016  (LINK to article)

"And what of the little girl? . . infected by racism before she can even spell the word."

And when it's a white kid being racially discriminated against, as also happens - is that "racial hatred" as well?  

The West's liberal elites - in politics, the media and, most authoritatively, academia - have, for decades, been teaching ordinary people that race is just a "social construct", only of importance to bigots and racists. The author has clearly also swallowed these misguided teachings.  

Race is NOT a "social construct" (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, i.e. genuine national, identity.  

These liberal elites want everyone to identify with the state as their nation, so that they can lay claim to their tribal loyalty, and obedience. That is why they deny and suppress the reality and importance of race.  

It also serves the age-old strategy of “divide and rule”, dividing society into a morally superior, now supposedly unprejudiced, "colour-blind" and xenophilic elite, on the one hand, and the morally inferior, naturally (evolved human nature being what it is) prejudiced, not colour-blind, but xenophobically-inclined masses, on the other, who must submit to the authority of and domination by their "moral superiors".

The Wall Is a Fantasy

by (LINK to article)

"Public sympathy for immigrants . .  has been curdled by terrorist attacks in Brussels, Paris and Nice."

Wrong! It's been curdled by the SCALE of immigration and demographic change. No one likes being reduced to an ethnic minority, where traditionally they have been the majority. Naturally, it makes them very unhappy and angry.

But what to do with their anger? At the moment state authority forces them to suppress it, by demonising it as racism and xenophobia, but increasingly people are realising that this is nonsense. Many of Donald Trump's white supports, I suggest, are directing their anger at those responsible for the madness of policies that will soon make them an ethnic minority in the country their forebears founded, namely America's liberal elites, embodied in the Clintons.

"With the rise of Mr. Trump, America’s sense of itself is suddenly less sure."

Wrong again! The rise of Mr. Trump is a consequence of mass poor-world immigration undermining many Americans sense of what it means to be an American. There used to be white America, which was overwhelmingly dominant, alongside black America and a number of other less numerous ethnic minorities. America has now gone global, a mishmash of all humanity, with white Americans on course to become just another ethnic minority, and in which Orwellian newspeak and doublethink is all that holds the country together - but for how long?
