Alt Right, Rotten Orange, and Silk Road News

Several items.

I can't really disagree with certain elements of the Alt Right on this, although I would express it differently.  McCain is a despicable subhuman. But it is not "godly justice" or any other sort of justice.  McCain is old, and he's had cancer (skin cancer in that case) before. These things happen. Illness happens, accidents happens, bad things happen to people.  I'm not going to celebrate McCain's illness, but I'm not going to be a phony and pretend that I wish him well.  I do not wish him well.

Interesting that the leftist cuck Trump is so hostile to the most right-wing, anti-immigration member of his cabinet - oh, yes, ostensibly for the recusal.  Also, some "alpha male" Trump is, using womanly passive aggressive techniques to humiliate Sessions into resigning, rather than just firing him and/or demanding a resignation.  Trump treats "dreamers" better than Jeff "Howdy Doody" Sessions - that should tell you something.

And let us not forget Roissy stating that Sessions as Attorney General by itself was sufficient to justify Trump's election.  That's not working too well, is it?  In more ways than one, since Sessions has been an absolute mediocrity, so far, in his position. Sessions would have been a better choice for VP - that wouldn't have changed the election outcome, but would have provided Trump some impeachment insurance.  By analogy, Sessions could have been to Trump what Agnew was to Nixon, while Pence is to Trump what Ford ended up being to Nixon - an acceptable alternative for the Establishment.

Asians again.  Surprise!  Of course they support flooding America with the flotsam and jetsam of the world - it's an implicitly anti-White agenda, and as is so often discussed here, the existential meaning of Asians is hatred of Whites.

Genetic Variation and Environmental Interactions

Genetic variation and environment.

Of interest, re: genetics, culture, and race, I note this methodology paper:

Identifying interactions between genetics and the environment (GxE) remains challenging. We have developed EAGLE, a hierarchical Bayesian model for identifying GxE interactions based on associations between environmental variables and allele-specific expression. Combining whole-blood RNA-seq with extensive environmental annotations collected from 922 human individuals, we identified 35 GxE interactions, compared with only four using standard GxE interaction testing. EAGLE provides new opportunities for researchers to identify GxE interactions using functional genomic data.                    

Basic findings were that environmental risk factors (e.g., substance abuse, exercise, BMI) can interact with genetic variation and affect gene expression. But the effects were modest, these were not large influences compared to other possible (e.g., additive) effects, and may have been affected by confounding factors (a possible problem when probing interactions for which there can be many variables).  In addition, some of the observed effects may have been in part epigenetic, presumably modifications due to environmental factors, rather than interactions between those factors and gene sequence variation itself.

On the one hand, the effects, being modest, cannot plausibly be invoked by anti-genetic determinists to prop up environment as the primary factor affecting gene expression (and, hence, eventual phenotype).  On the other hand, effects were observed, and these cannot be dismissed.  Of interest would be effects and interactions due to environmental factors other than those cited above.

Can culture, through its many manifestations, shaping the environment, interact with genetic variation to affect gene expression and, thus, phenotypic outcomes?  Would different ethnic and racial groups, characterized by group-specific genetic variation, exhibit variable gene expression when immersed in the same cultural environment?  Conversely, would genetically similar individuals and groups exhibit altered gene expression when placed in radically different cultural environments?  

And this goes beyond the more fundamental observation that genes affect culture (through the different phenotypes of culture creators, maintainers, or destroyers) and, conversely, culture can actually affect genetic variation itself (rather than just interact with it) by exerting selective pressure favoring one genotype over another.  Gene-culture cross-talk, if you will. See this old TOQ paper I wrote some time ago for more on that topic. Also, epigenetic effects, mentioned above, are another way in which culture can affect gene expression, but not to the extent, or in the manner, than the anti-determinists fervently hope.  The basic foundation for all of this is genetic variation; there is no evading that inconvenient (for some people) truth.

In summary, all of this bolsters the importance of genetic variation and, hence, genetic interests.  It also shows how reckless the globalists are in their indiscriminate mixing of genes and cultures (in Western nations).

More Alt Right Stupidity

More "movement" stupidity.

Getting back to a point made here, one needs to remember that Liddell has a history of fossilized "movement" ethnic fetishism, previously noted, for example here and also here.

Of course, one cannot forget this either (emphasis added):

Perhaps worst vice in our circles is accusing one’s opponents of being “controlled opposition” or enemy agents without adequate evidence. Mike Cernovich has said it about Richard Spencer. Ramzpaul and Colin Liddell have said it about Andrew Anglin…but calling people informants without evidence should be an absolute taboo — right up there with doxing our own people to settle petty scores — as it undermines the trust that is the foundation of every functional movement. The enemy spends a great deal of time sowing distrust in our ranks. So the suspicion of being an enemy agent should fall back on anyone who throws around that charge without evidence. They stand convicted by their own flimsy standards of evidence.

Certainly a well-rounded contributor to Der Movement, indeed!   To be fair, the same should apply to those who call - with no evidence whatsoever - Spencer a "CIA asset."

The “Buck Negger” Trump is once again asserting his desire to do comprehensive immigration reform.

Cuckadoodledoo!  But, hey. Let’s concentrate instead on Trump’s “negs” and handshakes – more important no doubt.

Read this.

I observed no equivalent of jock culture; the overall dearth of masculinity among Nordic men is not a secret. Guys are mostly thin, well dressed, polite, and unprepared for a fight.

When Sunic made a similar point some years ago – albeit with less polite language – he was vilified.  Perhaps this author would be better received. One wonders – compare the modern description of “Nordic men” compared to that of the time of Karl X Gustav and, of course, earlier than that, the Vikings.  A Kempian racial “historian” of the future may as well claim that this drastic change in behavior has been due to “racial admixture.”  That’s not the case of course, and in cases like this, Frost’s “genetic pacification” is a more likely explanation – and for the Classical World as well.

Trump, NATO, and Germany

What a real "Buck Negger" would do.

While the "game" faction of the Alt Right praises the "Buck Negger" Trump for humiliating the aged "First Lady" of France, and while the ethnonationalist faction praises Trump's speech in Poland, let us consider what a "blood and soil," EGI-aware Trump should have said to the Europeans:

You want America to continue to be invested in NATO?  Sure we will - if and only if NATO adopts as a key mission protecting Europe from the migrant invasion and the overall threat from the Global South.  You need to obsess less over a hypothetical Russian threat from the East and focus more on the real and continuing invasion from your South.  America cannot continue a political-military alliance with nations lacking the slightest spark of self-preservation.

And if angry Europeans replied:

What about America being invaded from your own South?

Then the terms of the debate would have shifted very nicely, don't you think?

Consider that the System/Left hates Trump and will always hate him, and given his plummeting popularity at home, including losing his base, what does he have to lose by repeating the same farstreaming that was so successful during his Presidential campaign?

That is what a real "Buck Negger" would do.

Speaking of NATO and Europe, it is high time that Der Movement stop making excuses for the Germans.  When faced with ultra-cucked German behavior, including politics/voting, one often reads:

You cannot forget that Germany is an occupied country!  What about all those American troops there!  What else can you expect?

That is complete, outdated nonsense.  Newsflash: the Cold War is over, Germany is united, and Germany is now, by far, the most powerful and influential nation in the EU, essentially dictating policy to the rest of Europe. If Germans were to, in the next election, put the Far Right into power, what do you think America is going to do about it?  Is Trump going to order the US military to overthrow the elected German government and install Merkel back into power?

While I understand that Der Movement is incapable of criticizing Germanics - unless it is to say there are just much-too-much altruistic and individualistic (characteristics no doubt clearly on display during the National Socialist regime) - coddling the Germans does no one, least of all the Germans themselves, any good.

Can we begin to treat Germany as an adult nation, responsible for its own fate?  I mean, they are Aryan ubermenschen and all that, so some personal responsibility seems to be in order.

Destructive Amoral Familism

Criminal auto-genocide.

Read this.

This supports my contention that amoral familism is completely different from ethnocentrism; indeed, it is incompatible with ethnocentrism and is just individualism extended to a narrow kin group.  What can be more individualist and non-ethnocentric than justifying genocide against your own ethny on the grounds that it is profitable?

Race in Der News: 7/16/17

Stupidity in der news.

An Amren commentator gets dangerously close to uncovering the truth behind Silk Road White nationalism:

R Sagan  American Tax Payer • 15 hours ago

Don't forget that Chinese female spies are actually trained to marry White men (no joke) to infiltrate the culture and steal resources. Way to go race-mixing White guys!

Chinese infiltrators are also sucking up many spots in our best universities because we need "diversity" and Asians have 300 IQs and are the model minority or whatever. Thanks cuckservatives!

Chinese workers are hired by overly trusting White people, who subsequently get everything in their company stolen from under them. Way to go businessmen!

Let me add: cunning Asiatrices are allowed to infiltrate White nationalism and wreck said nationalist activism for Asiatic advantange.  Way to go thirsty beta male White race traitors!

See this.

Looks exactly like Dolph Lundgren!  No, wait, it’s an Afro-Arab slave, who replaced real Romans, and whose descendants are the modern degenerate Afrowop!  No, wait it’s a (likely well-off) middle-aged man, unlikely to be a slave, so – it’s a med conspiracy!  The reconstruction was altered in response to ‘an offer you can’t refuse.”  No, wait…

Related to that last story, fossilized “movement” dogma alert:

…that’s who the ancient Greeks and Romans were — in fact Whiter than present day Greeks and Italians.

Which led to the following comment:

So Collin, what evidence can you present that the Ancient Greeks where 'whiter' than modern ones?
If you look at artwork from the oldest Greek civilization, they are entirely brunettes or having olive skin:
http://www.greek-thesaurus....

No worries, I’m sure Colin has read dat dere March of the Titans and Who We Are, and no other evidence is required!  

The Alt Right is nothing more or less than the same Old Movement dressed up in Beavis-and-Butthead style to be more palatable to the Millennial/social media crowd.  These nitwits wouldn’t recognize an original idea if it was staring them right in the face.

Why It Won't Work

Realism about the economic future.

One often reads smug economists and other “experts” who mock Trump’s idea (real or phony) of bringing back manufacturing jobs to America, and the overall wish of Trump supporters to “turn the clock back” against the “modern global knowledge economy.”

Putting aside all of our ideological biases against these elitist criticisms, let’s look closer at their practical argument: since the economic changes of America (globalism, a “knowledge-based” economy, creation and manipulation of ideas and information rather than of material goods) are inevitable and irreversible, those people not yet adjusted to this new economy must “adjust and be trained.”  In other words, all the unemployed factory workers and other blue collar workers must be re-educated and re-trained to become just like the elitists making such suggestions.

I trust that reasonable and reality-based rational people understand the absurdity of such recommendations.  But let’s spell it out for the sake of completeness; I’ll restrict myself to the two most obvious and major points.

First, given the normal distribution of intelligence and other cognitive and behavioral abilities and characteristics (including the mental flexibility to radically change professions) – and let’s not even get into the large racial differences in those metrics - it is unrealistic in the extreme to expect “re-education” and “re-training” to work for large sections of the American population. A significant portion of the American population simply do not have the intelligence and ability to adjust to the new global/knowledge economy.  And even if some of these people have – or had – the raw intelligence for such adjustments, many are simply too old and mentally inflexible.  And even if these people were capable of being educated to become high-powered information-based white collar professionals – who is going to pay for their education?  Who is going to pay for supporting these people and their families during the re-training period?  And who is going to hire retrained middle-aged red state blue collar workers as opposed to young college graduates and the constant influx of “high-skilled” immigrants?

So, no, that 55 year old unemployed coal miner from West Virginia is not going to become a software engineer, and even if he did, no one is going to hire him compared to a diseased 25 year old H-1B brownster from India.

Let’s be realistic.  Only an outrageous denial of human nature, and a denial of a realistic appraisal of human ability, can lead to ridiculous recommendations that economic upheaval can be avoided by transforming the entire left side of the Bell Curve into budding computer scientists, economists, and rocket engineers. It’s an impossible dream, and those who make such suggestions are maliciously mendacious.

Second, even if the impossible came true and all these people, the majority of the American population, were able to become white collar globalist professionals, there simply are not enough jobs available for all these people. How many computer scientists, economists, and rocket engineers do we need?  100 million of them? 200 million?

Putting aside the fact that “we” are importing “high-skilled” immigrants to compete with our existing native intellectual elites, the fact is that artificial intelligence automation will do to white collar jobs what robotic automation has been, and is, doing to blue collar jobs. There are not enough of these global/knowledge-based jobs now, and there will be fewer and fewer of such jobs in the decades to come.  So, we will try to shove a square peg in a round hole and train the masses for jobs that would not be available to them today and will not be available for anyone in the future?

In the short term, revolutionary upheaval can be avoided by instituting social credit/citizens dividend ideas – open payments to citizens – based on the nation’s productivity (productivity of the real educated elites and of automation) coupled to immigration restriction (one cannot combine social credit with open borders without bankrupting even a productive new economy).

In the long term, revolutionary upheaval is probably unavoidable.  While the far left of the Bell Curve will take the social credit, lounge around, and reproduce in Idiocracy fashion (Should such payments be tied to limiting reproduction of the less fit?  Yes, but is that realistic when the less fit a key political constituency? Or is democracy doomed in the new economy?), and the far right (no pun intended) of the Bell Curve may be actually involved in real work or at least occupy themselves with intellectual hobbies and pursuits, the grand middle of the population will be left adrift with no purpose and nothing to do.  They will form a revolutionary mass of disaffected people, waiting for direction, waiting for purpose, and waiting for action.

Troubles lie ahead.  Will we be able to take advantage of them?

The relevance of all of this to ethnic genetic interests should be obvious to those on Bell Curve's right side.
