We begin with a strange incident on Twitter. A user spoke about Jared Taylor in a private group and then, suddenly, found his account access limited and his verified checkmark taken away.

It was restored after several people tweeted about the issue on the platform.

All this is completely unnecessary. Elon Musk has given a great deal of ammunition to his enemies with his arbitrary and seemingly random decisions on censorship. What Twitter needs are free speech and simple, clear Terms of Service that apply to everyone. All I want is the Twitter that existed in 2015, and for some reason, NGOs, governments, and billionaires seem utterly determined to prevent it.

Elon Musk still hasn’t restored Jared Taylor’s access to Twitter. We hope he will honor his rhetorical commitment to free speech soon. However, I don’t underestimate the obstacles he faces. For example, he recently said that he would respect anonymous accounts on Twitter. Conservative influencer Jordan Peterson said this is a mistake and made frankly bizarre charges that it would doom us all.

Let’s be charitable. If the various Civil Rights laws protected an individual from being fired because of ideology, Dr. Peterson’s position would be appropriate. However, those laws do not. Currently, Americans cannot openly express their views without the risk of being fired. Because leftists usually cloak their views either in non-white identity politics or union organization (both protected by the government), they have nothing to worry about. For those on the Right, it’s a different story.

Legally protecting an individual from dismissal on account of his ideology is not an extreme view. Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has suggested doing just that. Naturally, Reason magazine says that would be an attack on “freedom of association.” That’s about as relevant as saying it would violate the prerogatives of the British Crown; freedom of association hasn’t existed in this country since the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Still, whatever protections might exist, abolishing online anonymity would be a drastic step. Some of America’s greatest political writing was done anonymously or under pseudonyms, from Common Sense to the Federalist Papers. Arguments should be analyzed on their own merits, not because of who makes them. It’s especially arrogant for Jordan Peterson to advocate abolishing anonymity given the death of free speech in his country, Canada. Not everyone can get a gig with the Daily Wire to make edgy statements about not using some transgender’s pronouns.

That said, some things don’t change on Twitter. MSNBC still tweets out clickbait, even old clickbait, such as this July 10 reference to an article more than a year old.

The “brown scare” is a business tactic for MSNBC and CNN. Without Donald Trump in the White House, there’s not much else for them to talk about (except Russia). One conservative journalist put it best:

Don’t click. Instead, annoy a journo and hit the gym.

The context for the following video of migrants reaching Europe isn’t present. However, notice the NGO worker celebrating.

Controlling illegal immigration means confronting the NGOs carrying it out. They should be treated as traitors facilitating an invasion.

A black woman found something to be offended about.

One can’t help but notice that she chooses to “Be Black in a Rich, White Suburb.” I suppose a Twitter thread about being black in just another monolithic black ghetto wouldn’t get as much attention.

South African Dricus Du Plessis won an upset victory in a fight attended by, among others, former president Donald Trump.

Black fighter Israel Adesanya took exception to his victory. Apparently, the South African isn’t African.

Perhaps he’s right. However, what would happen if a European fighter said the same about non-white fighters masquerading as Europeans? It shouldn’t be controversial. The invaders might even agree.

There is a great struggle in Asian-American communities between those who suffer from “diversity” policies and those who want a cut or a staffing position in some diversity bureaucracy. If you choose the latter strategy, it’s best to accuse Asian-Americans of being adjacent to “white oppressors.”

This is one of the largest problems in American politics. If Asian-Americans aren’t won away from this, we will have another high-IQ group championing anti-white policies that will make life worse for everyone not directly involved in the academic-educational-NGO conglomerate.

Returning favorite Michael Harriot saw a humorous post about the Oklahoma panhandle and took the opportunity to complain. It’s a typically schizophrenic combination about rhapsodizing about all-black communities and the awful whiteness of “Whitekanda.”

If the panhandle actually is the fabled ethnostate, maybe we should relocate. Who needs Hyperborea when we have Oklahoma?

From once-Great Britain, there’s breaking news. Air is racist.

Also, London can’t “arrest its way” out of the crime problem.

El Salvador disagrees.

You said it, Mr. President.

Germany could also take a lesson from El Salvador.

Don’t complain about it too loudly online. That at least would get the German government to spring into action.

Your reaction to the following will say a lot about your politics.

Progressives are outraged the police were faking tickets. I can’t help but think we should get rid of the incentive system that gives them an interest in tickets being “equitable.”

Groups will never be affected or perform equally. Disparate impact is a lie. Either we admit it, or this absurdity will continue in every sector of our increasingly chaotic national life.

A horrible story from a subway system follows. No, not a stabbing or assault. Those things are part and parcel of diversity. Instead, some white people were singing.

It’s hard to see the reaction to this and not conclude whites are simply hated for being white, simply because some people were told to hate them for being white.

For the Great and the Good, this is much better.

Vibrant.

There is a Tik-Tok influencer calling himself “Mizzy” who destroys stuff and enters people’s houses as a “prank.” Tik-Tok bans white advocates, but you can make a career doing what Mizzy does. He’s been arrested, but the British government gave him a slap on the wrist, and he even went on television to mock the weak system. He’s still at it.

I’m pretty sure he knows what he’s doing. There’s nothing to “learn.” The British government is simply unwilling to do what must be done to protect decent people from parasites.

Behold our moral superiors.

Historians may study it, but whether they think it is good or bad depends on us.

Behold the Great Replacement (in employment).

Perhaps it is just a coincidence this followed the “Racial Reckoning,” but perhaps not.

Many dissidents seem to think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is someone worth supporting for president. Unfortunately, when it comes to race, he’s repeating the same old platitudes.

Black neighborhoods are “food deserts” because there is high crime and low impulse control. It’s hard for businesses to operate and many blacks don’t want to buy healthy food.

Some white celebrities get together for dinner. However, because they are white, they provide an opportunity to make a racial complaint. Luckily, Western Civilization’s Reply Guy was there to save us.

We don’t deserve Steve Sailer.

Sometimes delivery drivers don’t want to go to certain areas. Some call this racist. Others might say it’s simply prudence.

Your life (or even some bruises and a stolen car) isn’t worth a delivery fee. (Besides, it’s not like they will tip.)

In modern America, crime is not the problem. Noticing crime is the problem.

It’s probably a good idea to get a doorbell camera.

A man just won Miss Netherlands and will now compete in the worldwide Miss Universe contest. Presumably, uh, “it” will win. One commentator noticed the way this works.

Everything is downstream from ideology.

Cheap labor and mass illegal immigration aren’t an economic necessity. They are a deliberate choice to dump externalities on the people instead of employers.

We don’t have to live with a permanent underclass when, actually, we can replace them.

Finally, one reason I’m a white nationalist rather than an American nationalist is that racial politics are much the same in every Western nation.

The issue isn’t nationality. It isn’t “culture.” It isn’t law. It’s race, and all that comes from it.

  1. Pull up a seat, and join me, friends, for The Chronicles of Being Black in a Rich, White suburb

    Hey bitch, pull up a seat in a moving van and move back to the ghetto.

    That way you can avoid the people you hate while experiencing the “rich, vibrant culture” of your thug community.

    The anti-White fever is attaining a maximum. We have millions of blacks, browns and yellows flooding White countries, receiving billions in freebies then turning around and whining about how racist the host countries are. It is sickening , as is RFKs repulsive delusions about black communities, pulling a page from papas speeches. This must end or else White countries and homelands will be no more.

    By the way, Great article Mr. Hood.

  4. Two points: (1) Twitter is an international corporation. I don’t see how it can survive if it allows free speech, given all the countries in which it operates that don’t. (2) The “female factor” needs to be examined in regard to immigration and integration, two very similar problems. Can a polity where women have an equal vote with men muster the courage to forcefully end the problems illustrated in the videos above? Won’t women always want to placate and nurture rather than set limits and fight and punish?

    Anonymity is its own right, like a pen name, alias and nom de plume. We shouldn’t need a justification for it.

    Freedom of association can only be reasonably appropriate for small business, small fraternities and organizations. When government, its agencies, and big corporations with disproportionate market power start playing that game, it becomes very problematic. Marginalized people begin to lose access to basic services like banking, internet, etc.

  9. Elon Musk spent $44 billion on a BS company. Had he spent that $44 billion on a car company, he’d possibly have Nissan or perhaps a nice chunk of Honda or another big name. Regardless, he’s a retard. Don’t expect free speech from a retard.

    Musk is a weak cunt who says whatever it takes to keep the livestock in its pens. His commitment to Freeze Peach is softer than an Lindsey Graham’s palms – and you just know that Graham’s had more lube on his hands than Stormy Daniels.

    This tweet about the pitfalls of polls (and of democacy, and about not being a cunt) will never be retracted, because I’m not a weak faggot nigger bitch.

  11. @Curmudgeon

    Not so, my guy: he backs right up to that question, then bends over, grabs his ankles, spreads his ass-cheeks and lets the Eurotrash invaders rape him bareback and sings Hava Nagila.

    He’s a fucking joke – and he is so stupid that he thought that taking Pharma’s Phix 4 Phuckwits would cure his PITHS (Phucked In The Head Syndrome).

    And his statistical method is appalling – sub-First-Year level… although that kinda goes without saying given that he’s a psychocharlatan by trade.

  12. @saggy

    Thanks for proving my point. I repeat: controlled opposition.

  13. @Curmudgeon

    Jordan Peterson has many insightful and important things to say about a host of (toxic) contemporary movements (as well as devious stratagems coming from radical ‘progressives’). But when it comes to Israel, Peterson’s basically in cahoots with Lindsay Graham and Chuck Schumer. Very disappointing.

    Peterson is extremely shrewd and savvy. On many important subjects he leads. This is admirable. Peterson’s failure to ‘notice’ unhealthy levels of Zionist power however is no oversight. The good Professor surely knows who dominates the public conversation in American life–not to mention what penalties are imposed upon public intellectuals who violate taboos which are in place to protect the Israeli elephant. He knows.

    Peterson is a brilliant bulwark against Left wing mob action on many things. He leads. But when it comes to the JQ, he is controlled opposition.

    Like every right wing pundit one might see on TV or Facebook, Jordan Peterson dares not rock the Israeli boat. That vessel is preeminent and it is presently untouchable. This is where we are.

    Not when their own children and other interests are directly affected. But you have to make it clear to them.

    The immigration restrictions of the 1920s came right after the women’s franchise was extended to every state. That in part explains the Republican landslides of that decade which made those possible. Women voted to the right of men up until the 1970s, and not just in America.

    It’s long been noted that women are more averse to change than are men. They only supported the welfare state once it had been established and they had grown up under it. As Phyllis Schlafly often pointed out, this inherent conservatism needed to be brought out and leveraged. Don’t laugh– she stopped the ERA dead in its tracks when it was already on the verge of ratification.

  16. “Twitter faces a landmark legal challenge after the social media giant failed to remove…6 antisemitic or otherwise racist tweets in January” ~(The Guardian[UK]: https://tinyurl.com/5n8tvye6)

    In January, how many Holycost-, er, I mean Christ-deniers maligned Whites with impunity?

    How many dared to point out Israel’s endless, ongoing crimes committed to “heal the world”?

    How many prosemites supported long-suffering Palestinians?

    How many Jew Supremacists, who think goyim are dogs to be enslaved to serve The Nose, promoted war in Ukraine?

    How many feminists shit publicly on men and masculinity?

    How many antijesusites continued their ancient battle to harm White believers?

    And why are Jew enclaves (like Williamsburg and Kyrias Joel in New York) not forced to be diverse with tons of HUD housing for mbutus?

    Nothing will change until Whites, Christians, and men unite and push back.

    White Christian men need powerful groups willing and able to sue Zionists, feminists, and mbutus into oblivion.

    FACT: The Gadsden flag did not have a white wimp tied to a whipping post beneath the words, “Don’t Treat Me Too Badly All The Time!”

    I won’t click on links to Twitter, thereby validating and supporting it. I no longer read sites such as the Gateway Pundit that are full of links to Twitter.

    I don’t know what would be involved in getting Twitter videos to show on the sites I visit (impossible?) but I am sticking to this position.

    I’m absolutely in favour of the assertion that invaders need to fuck off back to their countries of origin.

    I’m pretty safe in assuming that most actually-native populations would take the same view – be they native Irish, native Hawai’ian, native American, native Canadian, native Australian (Abo) or native New Zealander[1].

    So all the Yanks doing the “They need to go back” cosplay, need to go back.

    England would end up pretty crowded with sharp-elbowed Exceptionalists.

    So send all the US negros back to Africa; the US Chinks to China; US Koreans to Korea… and so on and so forth. (Sucks to be Ukraine – just when they thought it couldn’t get worse, they get the US Ferengi.)

    [1] Obviously the last item in my list of “natives” is a trick, because New Zealand does not exist. It’s a silly meme that people trot out to try and be funny – exactly like birds (also not real) and secure Microsoft software (even more preposterous than birds).

  20. Maori are over-represented in incarceration in New Zealand because there are no more Irish.

    The Irish were the most-incarcerated population in New Zealand right up until the turn of the 20th century – at which point their descendants were just counted as pakeha.

    There’s also the fact that as time has progressed, the law has become more of a pain in the ass.

    People get incarcerated for crimes that are bullshit – solving an interpersonal conflict using interpersonal violence being the prime example.

    Times were, giving an enemy a bit of a kicking was just how men went about things – so long as nobody went overboard, nobody gave a shit. When my Dad was a NZ copper in the 1960s, local criminals understood that for petty theft, if they ‘made good’ – gave the stuff back – they would get a beating but no arrest[1].

    Ditto drug-related crime: the idea that the human sewage that infest politics are the right people to decide what a person can ingest, is just absolutely preposterous.

    If it wasn’t for the grasping fuckbags of politics, there would be no international arms race in ‘product development’ – the increasing potency and variable quality of street drugs that happens as a direct consequence of the abject failure of prohibition.

    In the absence of the ludicrous “Methodist Spinster” notion of very-selective, Pharma-friendly, Prohibition, prison populations would fall by more than half. Those who wanted to, would be using weed, coca and opium, and fewer people would die from booze and cigarettes. The risk premium on ‘hard’ drugs would be eliminated – and with it, all the profit… and all the corruption.

    But with very limited exceptions, the DrugWar lunatics refuse to admit that their choice of policy was a poor one. They tiptoe away from the policy slowly, pretending that it wasn’t a predictable failure right from the start.

    [1] Dad quit the NZ piggies because he saw corruption in the ranks; reported it – to Mum’s uncle who was 2IC of the entire NZ Police Force – and was told nothing could be done.

    What failure? The point is to mass-produce criminal gangs. How is the local mayor supposed to have the mafia don on speed dial if there’s no mafia don?

    It’s not like they can’t actually crack down on drug crime. Imagine they pursued it with the zeal the pursue racists or unvaccinated mask-spurners. They would be done by next week. E.g. Singapore banned chewing gum.
