Dr. Donna Zuckerberg (the sister of the richest, most powerful individual of his generation) began promoting her upcoming book Not All Dead White Men, a “study of the reception of Classics in Red Pill communities,” in 2016 with articles in her own classics publication Eidolon such as:
How to Be a Good Classicist Under a Bad Emperor
Possibly … little Mark’s 1998 Halloween costume as his favorite composite historical character: Adolfus Caesar
by Donna Zuckerberg
Silicon Valley-based Classics scholar. Editor of Eidolon .
Nov 21, 2016
A specter is haunting the Internet — the specter of the “alt-right.” The forces of white supremacy and toxic masculinity, fueled by a sense of entitlement dwarfed only by their inflated estimation of their own intelligence, have entered into an unholy alliance to remove feminism, political correctness, and multiculturalism from America. …
Who are these people? They are part of a group of a few hundred thousand men who have “swallowed the red pill” and belong to a few allied online movements: not just the Alt-Right, but also men’s rights activists, the manosphere, and GamerGate. …
They also love the classics.
Donna Zuckerberg is the Editor-in-Chief of Eidolon . She received her PhD in Classics from Princeton and teaches for Stanford Continuing Studies and the Paideia Institute. Her book Not All Dead White Men , a study of the reception of Classics in Red Pill communities, is due to be released in Fall 2017 by Harvard University Press.
Now, from the Newsletter of the Society for Classical Studies and from Dr. Zuckerberg’s Eidolon, she’s ramping up her book promotion campaign:
SCS Newsletter – September 2017 (“How to Support a Harassed Scholar”)
Whose Job Is It to Support a Harassed Scholar?
by Donna Zuckerberg and Sarah Bond
(You can read this article, which was crossposted, on Eidolon)
Donna: My harassment began in the final days of 2016. At its worst, I was receiving a steady stream of emails and tweets filled with misogynistic, anti-Semitic bile. Some of these missives helpfully included links to longer and even more vitriolic rants about me, my work, and my family….
Donna: I’m not going to share the details of my harassment here, partly because I consider those details irrelevant and partly because I don’t really like to talk about them. I talk and write about my experiences in venues like this one not because I enjoy doing so or because I think I can leverage it into some kind of professional advancement – a disgusting accusation made of many women who speak out about harassment, as Lauren Duca recently discussed in Teen Vogue
Dr. Zuckerman is citing Ms. Duca’s continuing column “Thigh-High Politics” in Teen Vogue:
We Need to Talk About Online Harassment
The public forum is taking place on social media, a place where women are being systematically silenced.
Lauren Duca AUG 11, 2017 4:11PM EDT
Thigh-High Politics is an op-ed column by Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca that breaks down the news, provides resources for the resistance, and just generally refuses to accept toxic nonsense.
Besides religiously reading Thigh-High Politics in Teen Vogue, I would also suggest perusing the insights of Alicia Machado in Cosmopolitan.
Do you ever get the feeling that some of the current frumpus involves Teen Vogue- and Cosmo-reading girls wanting to be both socially respectable for belonging to the conformist Ctrl-Left and wanting the sexy bad boys of the Alt-Right to notice them?
Back to Dr. Zuckerberg in the Newsletter of the Society for Classical Studies:
– but because I hope to start an honest, productive, and durable conversation
When did “a conversation” come to mean “a lecture” instead of “a conversation?”
throughout the discipline about what the harassment of classical scholars means and what our ethical responsibility is toward our colleagues who experience that harassment. Because I know that what I experienced is just the beginning. …
Should who a scholar is influence how and whether we support them?
Donna: Most harassment is framed in deeply personal terms, as an attack on an individual’s scholarship, appearance, and behavior. It can therefore be difficult to extricate the characteristics of the individual from the overall circumstance of the harassment.
I am a relatively recent Ivy League PhD (2014), unaffiliated to any academic institution (although at the time I was connected to the Paideia Institute), a woman, a Jew, and a close relative of a wealthy celebrity. Some of these factors mark me as privileged, while others do not – but all of them contributed to how my harassment was framed by the perpetrators, and I am convinced that they also shaped the discipline’s vicarious experience of my harassment. I’ve been told by colleagues that I didn’t need formal support because 1) I “asked” for what I got by engaging in public scholarship and speaking out against the alt-right; 2) I didn’t have enough of a scholarly record to merit support; 3) I didn’t have a traditional academic job that I could be fired from; and 4) surely I had ample personal resources at my disposal to protect myself. As a field, we can’t really do much to stop external harassment from happening – but we can challenge and confront these kinds of ideas and keep them from poisoning our collegial relationships, and we can reflect on how intersections of privilege and oppression play into our misconceptions. Support isn’t a zero-sum game: withholding it from someone you consider privileged doesn’t mean you’ll have more to give to someone less privileged.
I suggest Dr. Zuckerberg take her demand for more support to a Black Lives Matter rally and see how far it will get her. Suggested opening line for her speech: “All lives matter.”
As a rule our profession hates talking about money, but to the last point I would say that, rather than hesitating to support someone because they come from a wealthy family or are married to someone with a well-paying job, we should all reflect on the fact that a substantial proportion of classicists fall under that umbrella. We still have a long way to go in tearing down the boundaries to access to our discipline, which has historically been the province of the wealthy – so rather than speculating about each other’s personal net worths, let’s all focus on making our discipline more inclusive and accessible to all. …
Does the nature and degree of the harassment matter? How much, and why?
Donna: In the conversation about harassment, the trump card seems to be death threats. Certainly many of the titles of articles about Sarah Bond’s abuse emphasize that part of her experience. I can’t speak for Sarah, but I think that the disproportionate amount of attention and rhetorical weight given to death threats is warping the conversation about harassment in unhealthy and unproductive ways.
I received a few death threats, including one where the threatening individual knew my home address.
To be serious for a moment, I have long spoken out against making it at all easy for readers of the media to discover the home addresses of individuals in the news. This goes back to my recollection of interviews John Lennon granted in 1979-1980 in which he frequently joked about how he and Yoko now lived in the famous Dakota luxury apartment building in NYC. Nobody at the time was at all concerned about this: The Dakota is highly secure, and who would want to hurt a Beatle anyway?
Well, there are bad and/or crazy people out there, so let’s not make it easy for them by revealing precise addresses. And let’s prosecute those who make public threats of violence.
… Donna: Regardless, the focus on death threats actually removes the onus of responsibility from our colleagues. … What we can do, however, is try to protect them from the profoundly demoralizing effect of a deafening chorus of internet frogs bre-kek-kexing about how they’re the biggest fucking morons who ever lived. No matter how many times I try to tell myself that those people don’t matter, and that I’m not writing for them
Well, Dr. Zuckerberg, you are writing about them” “Red Pill communities” as you describe them. So is it all that surprising that the objects of your derision expression derision in return?
, it helps a great deal when the people I am writing for speak up to support me. If you like anything that the harassed scholar has written, write them a note to tell them about it and express your sympathy and support. It will mean a great deal. Helen Morales has written about the need for a culture of microaffirmations; that culture is more necessary than ever in a world where harassment has become a near-inevitability for those venturing out into the wild world of public scholarship. …
At the risk of hyperbole, we believe that this is a crisis moment for our discipline. We are at not one, but several crossroads: will we take a stand against the appropriation of our field of study in service of oppressive and bigoted ideologies? Will we stand by our colleagues when they need us? Our answers to these questions will have profound ramifications for the future of Classical Studies. In antiquity, the creation of collegia empowered and supported many who were not of elite status. They provided communal support and services that people could rely on. The SCS is our collegium, and that means that we must support each member in the collective equally: e pluribus, unum.
Uh … isn’t that last phrase a little anti-multicultural, Dr. Z? I mean, unless you accept Al Gore’s translation of the phrase as “Out of one, many.”

The classics collegium’s future usefulness declines with every Indian and Somalian and Chinese immigrant she and her brother demand we bring to these shores. Maybe that accounts for the less than enthusiastic defense she is getting from the collegium (fraternity sounds better but I guess that is out).
Exactly. I'm sure that all these Chinese, Indian or Somalians are going to show the same reverence and eagerness to learn our history as we show them. Let's see... what do I know about ancient Chinese, Indian or Somalian history. I read Sun Tzu once, which is probably more than most people, and that is one book and not on history per se.
However, is Donna's motivation really about reverence for Classics or revenge for the destruction of the Temple? If the latter (and one suspects it is), white people aren't all bad. It's not China that sends billions of dollars in foreign aid to Israel. It wasn't China or India or Somalia that fought against Hitler. And for that matter, if the Romans were so bad go after the Italians! With their birthrates and rates of immigration, it seems they are largely doing Donna's job for her.
Maybe this ties into Mr Steve's observation ( can't remember which post ) that the exogamy rate of Japanese-Americans is now so high that there will soon be none of them left.
Living in a small country in N.W. Europe ( Scotland ) , I don't see a huge number of them, but those I have known have excellent English language skills and a genuine interest in Scotland and its history. They contrast very favourably with Chinese emigrants.Replies: @Cwhatfuture, @StillCARealist

Microaffirmations – Maybe she should be invited to speak at that American Renaissance thing.
Unfettered academia is a danger to society. Throughout history, nations have gradually realized that different sectors of society must be controlled and regulated or they will ruin the nation.
For example, the military must be controlled or they will start pointless wars. The commerce sector must be regulated or they will sell out the country’s interests for profit. Academia must be regulated or it infects society with childish idealism.
The difference here is that academia as a powerful, widespread institution is a relatively new phenomenon, 200 years old at the most, and its current influence greatly magnified by mass media. Because of its newness, most societies have not learned how to limit its negative effects. It is no coincidence that nearly every bit of social justice extremism has its origin in universities.
In order to end leftism, the destructiveness of academia must be memed into the public consciousness, so that a roadmap to regulation can be created as a political issue, and passed onto right-wing politicians.
You're too kind to academics, even for a post about how they're like other corruptible institutions. Academics are in the idealism business. They're as selfish as Big Oil and the military industrial complex. The only reason anyone thinks they're above that sort of thing is because they're responsible for the way we think about them, because they're in control of our minds.
Childish, maybe, but idealism? Pfft. I don't deny that's one of the ploys, but it's just a ploy. They'll fill people's heads with whatever they want if it'll give them influence, money, and power. Right now, they're bent on ruining Western Civilization. As Mz. Zuckerberg is doing with one of its Fountainheads, the classics.

Steve, you do realise that you are committing a micro-macro aggression against Ms Zuckerberg by writing this, right? As are all commenters here not showing her wholehearted support. To the Goolags with us all!
There’s probably a lot of truth to that, at least in general, and perhaps forgetting the ephemeral “Alt-right” buzz phrase. But it’s not really the desire for “bad boys” either, so much as it is a yearning for the true man of your heart, who is very masculine, without being toxic in any way.
Unfortunately for the Cosmo girl, she is not right for the sort of man she dreams of. She has to be willing to stand by his side, endure hardships with him, and go where he goes, and when she can’t do that, she has to be willing to endure loneliness, uncertainty and fear without complaint, while taking care of everything that needs taking care of so that when he comes home, he has a home, safe, secure and comfortable, and not a pile of neglected problems he must deal with. She must also accept that he may never come home, or come home grievously disabled, and she must accept that and know her life is with him forever, no matter what.
Cosmo girls aren’t the sort to do that. They are too frivolous, fragile and self-involved, and can never be worthy of the men they wish for.
What the man the Cosmo girl desires actually needs is someone like the woman depicted in the traditional folks song, The Girl Volunteer.
Here’s a version by Peter Paul and Mary:
I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent. I appreciate the classics and classical music and art, but if Steve didn’t publish articles on or by Donna Zuckerburg, I wouldn’t know of her existence. There are more people like her than there are “red-pill” members of the Manoshere. Steve don’t feed this troll.

It’s nice to find someone else who prizes durability in conversations. I prefer mine made in thick stainless steel so that when I direct one of my conversations at someone, gettin’ the last word in is the least of their concerns.
Modern academia is a place where cliques with unpopular agendas can put their thumbs on the scale of democratic debate and policy making. The Rockefeller Foundation and similar outfits have been doing this as an “open conspiracy” for a little over a century now. They used to put a lot of effort into camouflaging and sugar coating their agenda but now they delight in telling us how they’re tossing us into the dustbin of history. Lady Zuckerberg just needs to stop being so squeamish when she encounters resistance. WWTD should be her credo: What Would Trotsky Do?

By the way, what the heck is "Medieval Studies?" Do they mean Medieval History? Why are they going with "studies?" Is "history" too much of a burden? Or is at all "studies" by now? Most things are named "studies" to hide the fact that they aren't actual disciplines. No one says "physics studies," for instance. History lacks that problem. It's perfectly fine to simply call things "history."

Spoiled princess wants to play poor little victim
Steve, you keep on pointing out that her brother looks just like Caligula so why shouldn’t she be a classicist, given her obvious Mediterranean roots?
And apart from archaological digs, what new thoughts can someone come up with today in the classics?
Then came the work of trying to interpret this ordering. For awhile scholars thought that the early and middle periods were basically about the historical Socrates while the late period was Plato finally telling us what he thought. (Leo Strauss apparently adopted this view, and Straussians continue to hold that to this day.) The next step was realizing that the middle period was when Plato started telling us what he thought, but that made the late period rather mysterious. Was it nothing but Plato doing his thing, or was it a time when he was radically revising his beloved theory of forms?
That was the big debate when I was a grad student, and I came up with my own answer to it, which admittedly almost no one accepts. I say that the late period was a time when Plato was having a battle royal with his own nephew Speusippus concerning the existence of the forms, with Plato insisting that they exist and Speusippus insisting that they do not. No one from antiquity ever mentioned this grand debate, but there are plenty of indications in Aristotle that it happened.
Anyway, none of these developments were due to archeological digs.

I was trained as a Plato scholar, and I want to point out that lots of things we take for granted in Platonic scholarship were not due to archeological discoveries.

This could be checked if we had the chronology of the dialogues, except that we didn’t have it (except for a few minor hints). There followed sixty years of surmises on what the order was. Then someone realized that the style of each dialogue could be compared with the Laws, which was known to be written last (one of the few pieces of information the ancients handed down to us). Lo and behold, a certain order appeared from this method, and scholars then separated the dialogues into three groups which they simply dubbed early, middle, and late.
Then came the work of trying to interpret this ordering. For awhile scholars thought that the early and middle periods were basically about the historical Socrates while the late period was Plato finally telling us what he thought. (Leo Strauss apparently adopted this view, and Straussians continue to hold that to this day.) The next step was realizing that the middle period was when Plato started telling us what he thought, but that made the late period rather mysterious. Was it nothing but Plato doing his thing, or was it a time when he was radically revising his beloved theory of forms?
That was the big debate when I was a grad student, and I came up with my own answer to it, which admittedly almost no one accepts. I say that the late period was a time when Plato was having a battle royal with his own nephew Speusippus concerning the existence of the forms, with Plato insisting that they exist and Speusippus insisting that they do not. No one from antiquity ever mentioned this grand debate, but there are plenty of indications in Aristotle that it happened.
Anyway, none of these developments were due to archeological digs.

What Donna Zuckerberg really wants is some dude to create raw fear like that Goolag whore/policy maker who had the special lady feelings for that violent criminal she bonded with in a prison visit.
There is no end, really at all, to the ways in which Upper Class White women who have never done anything in their lives but think they are all that are the enemy of the White Working Man.
A lot of right-wingers respond to this BS by describing it as “cultural Marxism,” but this doesn’t seem to be a label which is having much political impact. Cultural Marxism, suggests a nicer, less austere version of traditional Marxism, rather than a self-indulgent, self-contradictory ideology that is totally unhinged from logic. A better label might be post-rational leftism.
Whatever the label, it’s vital to ram home the point that this really is an ideology divorced from reason. As Jordan Peterson points out, the modern left prefers to operate in post-modern feels mode, but has to fall back on enlightenment thinking when challenged by the right. If it stays in feels mode, then it can’t argue that a left wing narrative is any better than a right wing narrative. The right needs to make it harder for the left to have it both ways, even if that means crediting the old left with a certain amount of intellectual value.
No it doesn't. Certainly not after the term "culture" has been dragged through the mud for more than a century.
But they've found that focusing 110% of everyone's attention in all matters on the shortcomings, real and imagined, of the right is far more effective.
See: "Republicans pounce"Replies: @unpc downunder
Marxism and its vile progeny have grown and spread because they draw their dark energy from a deeper and more powerful metanarrative. That metanarrative is a perversion of the Christian story of creation-fall-redemption. Marxism holds no sway over ordinary people's hearts and minds without its sin and demons (cruel, rapacious capitalists); its telos (an egalitarian utopia); and its saviors (the vanguard who lead their fellows into an essentially Gnostic awakening to awareness of their chains).
The Marxist narrative has always been the story of humanity redeeming itself through its own wisdom and devices. It's a parasite, a parody, of the the true Christian story. It gives ordinary sinful people the illusion that they can be saviors, that they can redeem not only their own broken lives, but those of others, too.

“Academia must be regulated or it infects society with childish idealism”
You’re too kind to academics, even for a post about how they’re like other corruptible institutions. Academics are in the idealism business. They’re as selfish as Big Oil and the military industrial complex. The only reason anyone thinks they’re above that sort of thing is because they’re responsible for the way we think about them, because they’re in control of our minds.
Childish, maybe, but idealism? Pfft. I don’t deny that’s one of the ploys, but it’s just a ploy. They’ll fill people’s heads with whatever they want if it’ll give them influence, money, and power. Right now, they’re bent on ruining Western Civilization. As Mz. Zuckerberg is doing with one of its Fountainheads, the classics.
I o not perceive much evidence of hankering for the strong, manly stalwarts of the alt-right within the loins of the young, liberal womanhood of America – as opposed to minted tech overlords. The view among the white left appears to be that they are icky,boorish video-game playing losers who have yet to experience a woman’s touch and spend their leisure time sending racist tweets to people like the black lady who was in the Ghostbusters reboot.

(Long one, Steve)
The alt-light has a lofty sense of the merits of their argument. And they’re right, they routinely maul SJWs, on the rare occasions SJWs leave their bubble. Alt-right shreds leftists books, mouthpieces, and arguments. There are several reasons for this:
1 Southpaw advantage: everyone’s heard the left’s argument, such as it is, all their lives. They’ve never heard anything but a caricature of the alt-right’s argument. This makes every alt-righter look very good because they look so much better than the caricature; in fact, they look better than leftists.
2 Leftist absolutism: sort of an alt-southpaw advantage; left’s zero tolerance position makes them look very bad, once the reality of the alt-right hits the audience. The alt-right are just people, with perfectly reasonable positions, so the left come out of the deal looking like lying intolerant totalitarians.
3 The left is scheisse. It’s a quasi-religious, total mental institution. And the more you examine it, the worse it looks.
4 Another corollary of the southpaw advantage; alt-right are, at the moment, mostly smart, curious, independent thinkers. Compared to your typical lefty, your typical alt-righter is vastly well-informed.
5 Alt-right actually has a sensible basis, unlike leftism, which is pretty obviously non compos mentis.
My roundabout point here is that the alt-right’s swagger is down to having the superior argument, not the superior intellect. A run-of-the-mill alt-righter can and does routinely maul your average leftist college professor.
A recent poll, in the wake of Charlottesville, indicated that 10% of the American public “strongly supports” the alt-right.
Online alt-righters are the online activist segment of the alt-right population.
P.S., I love it when center-leftists say stuff like “OMG I’m a medieval studies professor and I just noticed that the alt-right are the only place I see “cool” medieval avatars and symbols…” or “TFW you notice that the alt-right are waaaaaaaay more into western civ than your students are.”
This is how Jews describe when they get a torrent of emails and comments that are 99% cogently argued, forming a critique far too devastating to acknowledge, and 1% bile. They ignore the 99% and focus monomaniacally on the 1% because 1 they have no argument, and no response 2 they’re dishonest, 1+2 they’re dishonest activists with no argument.
The left has outlawed masculinity. OF COURSE they’re pining away for someone to smash their power structure. I wish I had a dollar for every leftist male I ran across who was clearly dying inside: appropriating alt-right/anti-SJW terminology like “snowflake” and “cuck”, unironically using homosexual slurs under stress, and in general projecting and signaling their own dissatisfaction with their limpwristed effeminate worldview in every way possible.
1984 is the left’s instruction manual. They have to switch all the meanings of words around because their ideology is scheisse. They want to lecture, but everyone hates lectures, prefers conversations, so they call their lectures conversations.
An attack on an individual’s scholarship is not “deeply personal.” It is an attack on an individual’s scholarship. This is the very definition of impersonal. An attack on an individual’s behavior is not ipso facto deeply personal, either, what with scholarship being a product of behavior. I suppose leftist console themselves on this by lauding their own method of simply making shit up and attributing it to their critics; what they’re criticizing has no connection whatsoever to the people they’re attributing it to…
Actually they all mark her as privileged; none so much as Jewishness.
In short, her privilege wasn’t enough to mobilize White Knights to defend her.
No, they really can’t. That’s the whole problem. Engaging with the alt-right results in a loss for the left, every time. Hence all the censorship, safe spaces, political correctness, etc.
Time is a zero-sum game. Any support worth the name takes time, time one won’t have to spend on other things. Also, LOL @ “withholding support,” like it’s not the default state of things.
Exactly. Jews bash Whites (in the form of “my fellow awful white people…”), Whites show up and bash Jews. OMG, antisemitism!!!
Just so you know, a "southpaw" is a lefty, not a right handed person. Maybe I'm confusing the terms - LOL.I was willing to dive into the muck to find out what it was about. I came out with what feels like a now properly righted worldview.
Cleaned up, most "alt-right" positions are compelling because simply stated, they are based in truth.

You mean now? I guess de facto white supremacy in this, our civilization, is a given. But I think she means a time of white supremacist rule, or at least a time with white supremacy rising.
Coulda fooled me! Here, I thought we still lived in a time of white degradation and political correctness. Hence the fact that someone can make a living writing articles like Teaching Medieval Studies in a Time of White Supremacy.
By the way, what the heck is “Medieval Studies?” Do they mean Medieval History? Why are they going with “studies?” Is “history” too much of a burden? Or is at all “studies” by now? Most things are named “studies” to hide the fact that they aren’t actual disciplines. No one says “physics studies,” for instance. History lacks that problem. It’s perfectly fine to simply call things “history.”

The British people, I am pleased to report, have an overwhelmingly positive view of Jews and Israel.
70% got a perfect score and gave the pro Jew answer to every single question, and of the rest, half of the remaining only got one answer “wrong.” Only 0.1% were anti Jew or Israel on every question.
Wikipedia:Wot. The middle sentence is completely contradicted by its bookends.
You know, the Brits were a lot less suicidal when they were openly anti-semitic. Meanwhile, all y'all need to do is convert and nobody thinks Jews are weird and self-serving anymore.
It's really not our fault or the Brits that the Germans went on a bender (nor is it the stain of the living Germans). I'd like to see Europe live and return to it's fully human status again. Jewish neurosis, even with some evidence, on any level are not really everyone else's problem.
This isn't a good development in a culture that traditionally just speaks it's mind when it comes to other cultures. It's suggests that it's about 5 minutes from reaching for the gun to commit suicide.

Pro-tip on logical fallacies: they aren’t fallacies if you aren’t hinging an argument on them. I.e., an insult isn’t ipso facto an ad hominem argument. Pretending they are fallacies (i.e., ignoring the 99%, obsessing over the 1%) almost certainly is a fallacy (though I’d be at a loss to name it without some research). Ironic, no?

Steve was right to highlight your comment. One change I’d make is to ditch the “feels” thing.

Leftists don’t lead with their feelings, they lead with their religion, which makes about as much sense sans understanding of their (usually implicit) Who-Whom Commandment as the Old Testament does sans understanding of Jewish ethnocentrism.

She-Zucc wouldn’t know actual scholarship if it bit her in the ass. Any learned profession that still functioned would drive her out with ridicule.
And perhaps she thought if she barged in, shook the hornet’s nest and got stung — suffered for their art (“performatively”, as they say) — that would count for something. Bit gauche.
I notice the she-Zuck seems to have started on her public career of making an idiot of herself on the internet about the same time her brother decided to run for president. In fact, all of her 3 siblings are more ambitious and successful than Donna is. It looks a lot like her brother’s run has finally caused the untalented and unnoticed child in the family to blow up with sibling rivalry and go splat all over the internet.
Stuff like the link below is absolutely ridiculous, and may very well help sink her brother’s presidential campaign. Maybe that’s what she’s really up to. Maybe golden boy brother Mark is her secret most-hated white male. Being the only male out of three children in an ambitious Jewish family with high expectations probably led to a lot of favoritism and attention being given towards Mark, and it left Donna seething with jealousy. Out of all the SJW tropes, she obsesses over white male privilege more than anything else.

“Marxism” ought to alarm Boomers and neolibs, and brings to mind radical student politics and failed revolutionary idealism.
“Cultural Marxism” connotes the shift from class war and economic issues to identity politics that some old school leftists would consider a divisive perversion. If “post-rationalist leftism” is supposed to get at the race- and gender-science denialism of the left it is attacking a symptom of identity politics rather than a cause. The science of the “female” brain is acceptable when it’s found in a male body, i.e. when it’s used to bolster transgender identity politics; the attack on Enlightenment rationalism is framed in terms of its colonial white maleness, etc.
It’s funny how Wikipedia got “Cultural Marxism” dubbed a “conspiracy theory”. Almost like it got their number.

On the subject of Rome, the best part of the remake of “Ben Hur” was the scene that shows the Roman Legion entering Jerusalem. Here it is:
This was an awesome scene in an otherwise pretty forgettable remake. This scene is correct: as they marched, Roman soldiers would sing praises to Mars, the god of blood lust, virility and destruction. And they would do so with great joy. This was a time when men were unapologetically men. Even the dialogue between Messala Severus and his Jewish “brother”, Ben Hur, gave the idea what was the path of a man back then.
MESSALA: They are recruiting for the campaign against the northern barbarians. They need men. I have decided to join the Legion.
BEN HUR: You will fight for those butchers?
MESSALA: Those butchers pay well.
BEN HUR: Think of your family name. You don’t need that.
MESSALA: “Your family name. I need money. A man is nothing without money.”
And that ended the discussion right there:”I need money because a man is nothing without money.”
I guess the World hasn’t really changed that much: men still are far more driven to excel and to build stuff than women are, from rockets to empires, and to seek status. Donna should know that, by just having the brother she has.
Of course, Mark Zuckerberg and Messala Severus are radically different kinds of men. One made his fortune the old fashioned way, with conquest, plunder and politics, while Zuckerberg is a bourgeoise and techie who became rich by creating a product that people want. But in the end, the basic drive to excel, overcome and build stuff is stereotypically male.
I wonder how Donna feels about the fact that in ancient Rome, a civilization she worships so much, Roman men were unapologetically male and sexist, and would march to war singing praises about how great it is to offer the blood of the enemy to the god of war, and to steal their land and rape their women? How does Donna feel about that? Maybe Donna has Stockhold Syndrome about the Romans conquering her people and can’t help but lust after the brashly macho Messala Severus?

Spoiled Brat Syndrome.
Writ large, the Spoiled Brat Syndrome is part of every Revolutionary impulse. Take out of the late 19th/early 20th century Russian revolutionary movement all the children of wealth and privilege, at least privilege in education – including large numbers of children of extremely rich Jews and large numbers of children of Orthodox priests and college professors – and that movement would have lost perhaps 3/4ths of its leadership and 3/5ths of its membership. It would have been a nothing movement with the spoiled brat children of the rich and well educated.

That is what happens when you allow rich, liberated women to run magazines aimed at your teen daughters. Rich women in decadent cultures (and in the WASP world before it exhibited many outward signs of decadence) have a tendency to be fag-hags, which means they love to have their bestest gay boy BFFs re-make the magazines so that all the gay boys also want to flip through them.
The result is stuff guides to anal sex for teen girls – giggle, giggle.
Of course, many teen girls will decide that anal sex must be the height of fashion and anti-homophobia and get busy with it, after which most will not want to be hypocrites and oppose their 40 year neighbor for buggering their baby brother.

No, we most definitely could not make honest men and women out of these privileged people who define themselves in opposition to us. Our recent forefathers were liberal and gracious enough to allow them into our institutions and they use them as a platform from which to hunt us. How many generations separate Dr Zuckerberg from the cossacks yet she still sees it as her prime directive to drive us out and bring us down?
Why do Lady Zuckerberg and the Alt-Right find each other so interesting? Because they both know the other helps prove their case. Zuckerella knows she will not secure the final victory until all White men submit to her version of their civilization. In turn, the Alt-Right knows her writings help show we can never share a country or society with Jews. Give them everything one could possibly imagine and they still want to extirpate you.

You know, the Brits were a lot less suicidal when they were openly anti-semitic. Meanwhile, all y’all need to do is convert and nobody thinks Jews are weird and self-serving anymore.
It’s really not our fault or the Brits that the Germans went on a bender (nor is it the stain of the living Germans). I’d like to see Europe live and return to it’s fully human status again. Jewish neurosis, even with some evidence, on any level are not really everyone else’s problem.
This isn’t a good development in a culture that traditionally just speaks it’s mind when it comes to other cultures. It’s suggests that it’s about 5 minutes from reaching for the gun to commit suicide. Or more likely just allows itself to be colonized by Islam and hope the rest of their lives don’t suck too much under their new Islamic overlords.
Yep. Even assuming disproportionate representation of Jews in the midwit WASP class, we need to deal with the 75% still running things (or not really running things). It’s the Clintons of the world.
When did I ever say they’re all Jews? Ironically, one of the prime reasons Jews should be kept from the centres of power is just this tendency of theirs to think everything’s always about them.
Everything must always be about them, they must always be kept in mind when any decisions are made, their concerns must be paramount but no one is to mention them or even mention things that might be referring to them indirectly or in some kind of code. Give us all a break.
I’ll just add that I’m an Irish-Canadian Tory so American WASPs have been defining themselves in opposition to my kind of people since at least Plymouth Rock. They’re the children of the Roundheads, we’re children of the Cavaliers.
The American republic defines itself in opposition to the Old World. That’s one reason Bill Buckley’s American conservatism was always such a fraud and why Max Boot wasn’t entirely mistaken to have thought America could be his new Soviet Union. Trotsky himself said as much back in 1934. Boot & Co. hope Oliver Cromwell’s kids and Trotsky’s kids continue to team up to bring “shock and awe” to the rest of us. From the burning of Atlanta to the bombing of Belgrade and Baghdad, the righteous smiting rolls on.
In other words, I’m up to speed on the WASPs.

I agree. There are very few Japanese in the West compared to recent immigrant waves. That alone makes a huge difference. The West has always been able to very successfully integrate small numbers of non-Western groups, especially an intelligent one. (Donna Zuckerberg is an example of this herself. 150 years ago, her Jewish ancestors in Middle or Eastern Europe would have had no connection to Western Classics). Moreover, Japanese tend to intermarry and lack the hostility you find in more recent groups, the actor that played Mr. Sulu notwithstanding. The Chinese have their own classics, of which they can be justifiably proud.

Scotland is a country? I thought it was part of the UK or Great Britain. Can there be countries within countries?
Donna Zuckerberg, sister of billionaire media mogul Mark Zuckerberg, is a Jew. Richard B Spencer, the leader of the Alt-Right, is some type of WASP(Spencer most likely has Norman ancestry too; this can’t be said of all WASPs).
Donna Zuckerberg can make no claim to speak for White Core Americans, or have the best interests of White Core Americans at heart. Richard B Spencer speaks for tens of millions of White Core Americans on trade, immigration, foreign policy and, most importantly, questions of national identity.
Richard B Spencer can make the claim that his political views were the views of the WASP ruling class before the 1960s. Donna Zuckerberg has no ancestral nor historical claim to speak for anybody but the Jew portion of the rancid WASP / Jew ruling class that sits uneasy at the top of the American Empire.
Richard B Spencer can speak for the past, present and future of the European Christian ancestral core of the United States. Spencer, if given enough time to explain, could also make the explicit case that the United States is a British Protestant settler nation. Sam Huntington made such a case and it seems to me to be irrefutable.
Donna Zuckerberg is all bluster and Jewish rhetorical three card monte. Mark Zuckerberg will most likely be financially wiped out when the next global financial implosion hits — he wont be pauperized, but he won’t have the financial power to fund anti-White political scams such as mass immigration.
The Alt-Right is gaining in strength and power and the Zuckerberg family is enjoying its brief moment of power in the American Empire.
Donna Zuckerberg wants to go to a keg party with these Alt-Right guys. If I lost a few pounds and did my best James Mason voice, Donna Zuckerberg might get me a beer at the keg party. Donna Zuckerberg has the hots for the Alt-Right.
White Core Americans won’t identify as White Supremacists, but White Core Americans will say that the United States must protect the European heritage of the United States. White Core Americans also will say that White people are under attack in the United States.

Also, this was the first I ever heard that Richard Spencer has a wife. How did she evade notice for so long?
First they came for the classical scholars. And I didn’t do anything, because I am not a classical scholar.
And neither is Donna Zuckerberg.
Agreed. And let’s also prosecute those who make public (or private) threats of extortion, like the real-estate agent who tried to drive Richard Spencer’s mother out of her property.

So she conflates her critics with aimless trolls threatening and abusive; of course now we know that’s a con job too.
She should know that everyone she would blunt and muffle see her as a spoiled princess whining in the pool house. She needs a coach to help make her foot stamping less obvious, less pleading. At least her enemies wouldn’t mock her so easily.

For one thing, Mark is, so far as I can tell, the only plausible Democratic candidate who can win back people who voted for Trump. He won't be winning back many iSteve readers, and he won't be winning back people who post pictures of babes in tight shorts and MAGA hats at /r/TheDonald, but he can plausibly win votes from many people who voted for Trump as the lesser of two evils. They don't need to like Mark Z, or think he will be a good President. They can vote for him as the lesser of two evils. And if he can plausibly win the general election, which he can, that means he is a plausible nominee, no matter what people think.
Stuff like the link below is absolutely ridiculous, and may very well help sink her brother's presidential campaign. Maybe that's what she's really up to.

You’re right that demonising the right is very effective in the political sphere, and the left has been very good at it. However, I’m talking about situations when a modern leftist is directly challenged by a moderate or right-winger in an interview or panel discussion situation. If a right-winger claims, for example, that there is no discrimination against women or minorities in today’s society, the left winger will resort to some statistical evidence such as the gender pay gap or blacks making a lot less money than whites. However, this directly contradicts the post modern idea that there is no such thing as objective data about social issues.
In the post modern view, personal opinion/instinct is a better indicate of what is real that statistics, and the personal opinions of women and minorities are more important than those of white males since white males have historically had more power.

One thing to remember is there is only one sex chromosome pair. Men and women are sort of in a never ending genetic battle with men pushing genes into the next generation based on male selection and women based on female selection. Sexual dimorphism does its best to bend these to present well for your sex, but it’s not perfect.
So a quarrelsome tediousness which can be part of fitness for someone engaged in middle-man minority activity (and for Jews in Talmudic argument), is going to show up in both sexes in a middle-man minorities, though it is not an attractive trait for most interactions, and particularly not an attractive trait for a woman. (This is no doubt one of the reasons the Jewish guys are attracted the shiksas–less tedious hassle.)
Couple this quarrelsome tediousness with female emotionality and attention seeking and … it’s a package! For Jewish guys–hey those are your girls, the product of your tribal history. Why the rest of us should have to listen to their nonsense is beyond me.
Donnita’s real threat is:

‘Post-rational leftism’ is also ‘pre-rational leftism’, in that it’s essentially religious in character. It’s never really been rational.
Marxism and its vile progeny have grown and spread because they draw their dark energy from a deeper and more powerful metanarrative. That metanarrative is a perversion of the Christian story of creation-fall-redemption. Marxism holds no sway over ordinary people’s hearts and minds without its sin and demons (cruel, rapacious capitalists); its telos (an egalitarian utopia); and its saviors (the vanguard who lead their fellows into an essentially Gnostic awakening to awareness of their chains).
The Marxist narrative has always been the story of humanity redeeming itself through its own wisdom and devices. It’s a parasite, a parody, of the the true Christian story. It gives ordinary sinful people the illusion that they can be saviors, that they can redeem not only their own broken lives, but those of others, too.

Interesting concept.
1 Southpaw advantage: everyone's heard the left's argument, such as it is, all their lives. They've never heard anything but a caricature of the alt-right's argument. This makes every alt-righter look very good because they look so much better than the caricature; in fact, they look better than leftists.
2 Leftist absolutism: sort of an alt-southpaw advantage; left's zero tolerance position makes them look very bad, once the reality of the alt-right hits the audience. The alt-right are just people, with perfectly reasonable positions, so the left come out of the deal looking like lying intolerant totalitarians.
3 The left is scheisse. It's a quasi-religious, total mental institution. And the more you examine it, the worse it looks.
4 Another corollary of the southpaw advantage; alt-right are, at the moment, mostly smart, curious, independent thinkers. Compared to your typical lefty, your typical alt-righter is vastly well-informed.
5 Alt-right actually has a sensible basis, unlike leftism, which is pretty obviously non compos mentis.
My roundabout point here is that the alt-right's swagger is down to having the superior argument, not the superior intellect. A run-of-the-mill alt-righter can and does routinely maul your average leftist college professor.A recent poll, in the wake of Charlottesville, indicated that 10% of the American public "strongly supports" the alt-right.
Online alt-righters are the online activist segment of the alt-right population.
P.S., I love it when center-leftists say stuff like "OMG I'm a medieval studies professor and I just noticed that the alt-right are the only place I see "cool" medieval avatars and symbols..." or "TFW you notice that the alt-right are waaaaaaaay more into western civ than your students are."This is how Jews describe when they get a torrent of emails and comments that are 99% cogently argued, forming a critique far too devastating to acknowledge, and 1% bile. They ignore the 99% and focus monomaniacally on the 1% because 1 they have no argument, and no response 2 they're dishonest, 1+2 they're dishonest activists with no argument.The left has outlawed masculinity. OF COURSE they're pining away for someone to smash their power structure. I wish I had a dollar for every leftist male I ran across who was clearly dying inside: appropriating alt-right/anti-SJW terminology like "snowflake" and "cuck", unironically using homosexual slurs under stress, and in general projecting and signaling their own dissatisfaction with their limpwristed effeminate worldview in every way possible.1984 is the left's instruction manual. They have to switch all the meanings of words around because their ideology is scheisse. They want to lecture, but everyone hates lectures, prefers conversations, so they call their lectures conversations.An attack on an individual's scholarship is not "deeply personal." It is an attack on an individual's scholarship. This is the very definition of impersonal. An attack on an individual's behavior is not ipso facto deeply personal, either, what with scholarship being a product of behavior. I suppose leftist console themselves on this by lauding their own method of simply making shit up and attributing it to their critics; what they're criticizing has no connection whatsoever to the people they're attributing it to...Actually they all mark her as privileged; none so much as Jewishness.In short, her privilege wasn't enough to mobilize White Knights to defend her.No, they really can't. That's the whole problem. Engaging with the alt-right results in a loss for the left, every time. Hence all the censorship, safe spaces, political correctness, etc.Time is a zero-sum game. Any support worth the name takes time, time one won't have to spend on other things. Also, LOL @ "withholding support," like it's not the default state of things.Exactly. Jews bash Whites (in the form of "my fellow awful white people..."), Whites show up and bash Jews. OMG, antisemitism!!!Replies: @AM

Cleaned up, most “alt-right” positions are compelling because simply stated, they are based in truth.

That said, I think that the chances of Mark Z being the Democratic nominee, and of him becoming President, and of this being world-historically bad, are all greater than many people allow.
For one thing, Mark is, so far as I can tell, the only plausible Democratic candidate who can win back people who voted for Trump. He won’t be winning back many iSteve readers, and he won’t be winning back people who post pictures of babes in tight shorts and MAGA hats at /r/TheDonald, but he can plausibly win votes from many people who voted for Trump as the lesser of two evils. They don’t need to like Mark Z, or think he will be a good President. They can vote for him as the lesser of two evils. And if he can plausibly win the general election, which he can, that means he is a plausible nominee, no matter what people think.

I guess this reflects the sibling resentments that you've alluded to. But it also reflects her fundamental lack of serious engagement with the world, engagement as struggle to understand.

Has her experience since graduating from collge changed her worldview in any way? Her answers, so far as I can tell, are yes, no, and, it's confirmed and reinforced my worldview.

Yes, southpaw advantage refers to the handicap faced by right-handed boxers/pitchers/batters against left-handed boxers/pitchers/batters. Left-handers have spent their whole lives facing right-handed opponents so they’re entirely used to it, while right-handers have much less experience going up against left-handers. Confusion enters because here the right-wing gets the left-hander’s advantage. 🙂
I’ve spent years wondering how many lefties are just conformists who never think anything through (their only thought-through thoughts thus having been given to them by others), how many are compulsive liars, and how many are non compos mentis. I’ve given up wondering, but you have to be some combination of the three to say America is a White Supremacist society. Yes, any sign of pro-White politics are always squashed as in Charlottesville and Berkeley and everywhere else in a White Supremacist society, didn’t you know?
Many outcomes of taking that avoidance too far sound and read far worse than simply ending a sentence with a preposition. P.S., AFAICT it’s a carry-over from Latin. So it’s a very old style.

Pictures are the easiest. Just include a direct link to the image itself. Make sure you are not linking to some kind of image browser and that your link does not have extraneous tags on the end (i.e. link should end in .jpg, .png etc.). I think the link may need to be on a separate line.
Then there are special features for specific sites. I think those include Youtube, Twitter, and Imgur, but don’t know if there are any more. In that case I think you just link to a page on that site, but there may be subtleties.

Stuff like the link below is absolutely ridiculous, and may very well help sink her brother's presidential campaign. Maybe that's what she's really up to. Maybe golden boy brother Mark is her secret most-hated white male. Being the only male out of three children in an ambitious Jewish family with high expectations probably led to a lot of favoritism and attention being given towards Mark, and it left Donna seething with jealousy. Out of all the SJW tropes, she obsesses over white male privilege more than anything else.
