From the Newspeak appendix to 1984:

Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.

    Spencer's not openly gay, though lots of people have wondered. It would be kind of funny if the alt-right vs neocon fight boiled down to gay conservatives vs. Jewish conservatives.

    For any newbies, it was alternative to what was mainstream conservatism in the Bush era, which was lots of wars in the Middle East on behalf of Israel, and lots of illegal immigration. It's now coming to mean 'conservatism based on white gentile identity politics', more or less.

  3. Nobody knows how many Alt-Right people there are in The United States, but my guess is they outnumber the KKK but they are still outnumbered by other non mainstream groups like Juggalos, The Flat Earther Society, and Scientologists for example. In other words there are not enough Alt-Right people to help Donald J. Trump win any states in a presidential election. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Donald J. Trump are not part of the Alt-Right. 63 million people voted for Donald J. Trump and there are nowhere near 63 million Alt-Right people in The U.S.

    Noticing that Semites have been the forefront of Anti-White-Gentile movements these days is perfectly rational. Trying to name call it away won't work.

    Stop trying to hide the man behind the curtain, it only makes Jewish Leftism look far worse and will only incite anger. Can't you admit Jews in America have different group interests than white gentiles, and that Jewish advancement of certain causes is not based on universal ideals but Jewish-group interests?

    If you admitted that, we could respect you intellectually. But until you do, you're just trying to deny the sky is blue.

    I get confused by the anti-Semitism. When I started a massive self-education program after 9/11 via the Internet, I encountered many Jews. They spanned the entire political spectrum.

    I found some really good educational stuff from right-leaning Jews.

    I was starting cold. A Math/Physics major, a long career as a computer programmer, plus raising two kids on my own, didn't leave me a lot of spare time. By 9/11 the kids were leaving home, successfully launched, giving me a lot more spare time.

    The New Republic had some good stuff (too bad they've become just another lefty site).

    Front Page Mag is also good, taking many of the same stands as most readers here. But I've noticed occasional articles by their writer Daniel Greenfield complaining bitterly about the number of Jewish lefties. He thinks they are essentially suicidal, since they're been active in bringing Muslims to the West. On the whole, Muslims simply hate Jews. Greenfield can't figure out why they can't put 2 + 2 together.

    He calls them JINOs (like RINOs).

    Since a group of right wing Jews has influenced my waking up to how bad the Left is, I can't understand why the knee jerk anti-Semites can't take a more nuanced view.

    For example, I think Islam poses a great threat to the West, but I acknowledge that not every single person born a Muslim is a threat. There are even a few good writers there too.

    I was surprised to find anti-Semitism on the left. But it is. As far as I can see, it's related to the influx of Muslims. Politicians want to cater to them.

    But there could be other reasons. I wasn't reading up politics pre-9/11. I foolishly assumed that media like Newsweek would give a realistic picture of the world.

    I'm 30ish and recently started making a game of seeing how long I can work without touching my mouse. Once you get into the rhythm of things it's remarkable what you can do, even if some of the shortcuts are less than elegant: you might have to hit Tab seven times to highlight a link, but it's still quicker than taking a hand off the keyboard, dragging your mouse pointer to the link, and bringing your hand back to the keyboard. I'm sold.

    I often find myself reverting to the Windows 2.0/3.0 commands: Ctrl-Ins (copy) and Shift-Ins (paste). (Don't forget Ctrl-Del for cut.)

    Microsoft Word for DOS used Del for Cut and Ins for paste. Having a one-key command for paste makes a lot of sense. (You can customize the keyboard in almost any decent modern word processor.)

    One of the reasons why WordPerfect 5.1 was so popular (aside from the old WordPerfect Corporation's exemplary customer support*) was that you could remap the entire keyboard. You could even reprogram the alphanumeric keys.

    Cttl-V and Ctrl-C were taken from the Mac, where the equivalent commands were issued with the Command key.

    Incidentally, in 1984, IBM PC keyboards had the Cttl key where the Caps Lock key is now. IBM switched to the modern layout around 1986. As late as 1990, some clones were still being sold with the earlier layout. (Some Apple keyboards had Cttl in the Caps Lock spot, as well.)

    The early Mac keyboards had no arrow keys. Word 1.0 for the Mac used such combinations as Cmd-Opt-semicolon for moving the cursor.

    *Unlimited free tech support for as long as you owned the product, and the best printer support of any DOS word processor. In the DOS days, each program had its own printer drivers. WordPerfect supported hundreds of obscure models.

    I think this is largely accurate. I'm not sure about "friendly profile(s) of Spencer", but the widespread linkage from alt-right to Breitbart to White Nationalists is way too facile and inaccurate. My understanding of alt-right was that it designated a non-cucked right that saw through PC and the NeoCons and liked to troll the left with Pepe memes, etc. Part Paleo and part snotty pranksters and trolls.

    Spencer is not a fringe 'neo-Nazi'. If he is, then so is Sailer. Stop throwing around epithets designed by the SPLC.

    Also, Bannon didn't use it in the 'normal way'. That's absurd. Breitbart basically serves up Neoconservatism/libertarianism. It isn't alternative in any way. The Alt-Right is a White identity movement. Nothing else.

    Disaster for who? Spencer got himself a lot of media attention. We’ll see if they grow in strength or just become useful foils for the MSM.

    Bannon is ironically a lot less racially-focused than his detractors on the left want to admit and his detractors on the right wish he were.

    It meant a more radical form of paleocon to begin with–the whole thing started with Paul Gottfried telling the paleocons they’d failed. It depends how far back you want to go–there were neoreactionaries, the Dark Enlightenment, and so on. ‘Memba?

    What a whiner; if you publicly enter the world of politics, lots of folks will make death threats against you. Being a Leftist and a woman, she takes it all so personally and thinks it so much worse when it happens to her.

    I think we of the anti-Left need to play by the same rules, and start publicizing each and every death threat our guys get. Use their own rule book against them. If they want to claim victim-hood points from it, so do we.

    Don't play by some stoic-tough-guy routine, just put them out there and talk about the threats made. Stoic-tough-guy routine won't work.

    You can't say much, so it's only good for sharing links, posting memes, hurling insults, tossing epithets, being 'snarky', etc. Mockery and ridicule.

    Someone with a knack for slogans can use it creatively, but it's just a mud-slinging fest for the hoi polloi, most of us.

  34. Meanwhile in reality, Trump is the most pro-Israel president ever.

    Since 1948 the US has refused to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital – or even as part of Israel. This policy of nonrecognition – embodied by the US refusal to transfer the US Embassy to Jerusalem – has been maintained by a bipartisan consensus despite the fact that for the past 20 years, US law has required the State Department to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the embassy to Jerusalem.

    When Trump promised to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, his words were greeted with cynicism.

    Clinton and W both made and broke the same promise.

    But then this week his senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said Trump is serious about moving the embassy to Jerusalem.

    His ambassador is also saying it will happen. He’s a settler activist focused on building as fast as possible housing in the occupied outskirts of Jerusalem, some of which has been demolished after court fights in Israel.

    In one fell swoop, the 68-year-old consensus is gone.

    The full article is overly long but advances the idea that the goal will be formal Israeli annexation with US support of nearly all of the West Bank outside of the Arab population centers. Or should I say Judea and Samaria.

In other words there are not enough Alt-Right people to help Donald J. Trump win any states in a presidential election. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Donald J. Trump are not part of the Alt-Right. 63 million people voted for Donald J. Trump and there are nowhere near 63 million Alt-Right people in The U.S.

    Saying politically incorrect shit doesn't automatically make someone Alt-Right. If that were the case than Compound Media for example (Gavin McInnes, The Proud Boys, East Side Dave, Pat Dixon, Anthony Cumia) would be Alt-Right because they say the N Word a lot, mostly in a joking matter for shock factor.

And I might mention, sending billions to their friends in Israel, fighting wars on their behalf (most who say that talk about the recent wars and not WW2, the most important of them all), and allowing them a seat at the table such that nearly half of the Forbes 500 or whatever it was is Jewish.

    I was quite pleased to find this term, "alt-right", some time ago. It felt liberating, and had a pleasing oxymoronic flavor: "right" suggests conformity, dull rigor, seriousness; "alt" the opposite, with a "think different" flavor. For some reason and perhaps wrongly, I associated it with Razib and his unapologetic un-pc opinions. Certainly I did not link it to any kind of racial or ethnic movement, quite the contrary. The label "paleo-con" had its charm and humor too (long after "neo-con" had been robbed of any novelty or appeal), but it felt as self-evidently doomed as my attempts to follow the diet of the same name.

    By the way I assume "alt" came from Usenet, the "alt-*" newsgroups providing a "home for a wide variety of things that did not fit elsewhere". This home, and all of Usenet, has slowly disappeared, due to obsolescence and uncontrolled dissemination of illegal materials such as child pornography. Nobody's perfect...

    Rosling’s charm appeals to those frustrated by the persistence of myths about the world. Looming large is an idea popularized by Paul Ehrlich, an entomologist at Stanford University in California, who warned in 1968 that the world was heading towards mass starvation owing to overpopulation. Melinda Gates says that after a drink or two, people often tell her that they think the Gates Foundation may be contributing to overpopulation and environmental collapse by saving children’s lives with interventions such as vaccines. She is thrilled when Rosling smoothly uses data to show how the reverse is true: as rates of child survival have increased over time, family size has shrunk. …

    Spencer did not coin the term "alt-right." Spencer named a web domain "alternative right," which was a term introduced to the public about six months earlier by Paul Gottfried.

    Spencer seems to have a penchant for appropriating others' ideas and memes.

    And not only is "alternative right" a phrase distinct from "alt-right". When the latter term exploded onto the scene last year, it had a different meaning from Spencer's "alternativeright.com" referent of five years earlier.

    And last year's term now has an additional meaning thanks to Spencer: racial purity ethnonationalism and ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil.

In other words there are not enough Alt-Right people to help Donald J. Trump win any states in a presidential election. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Donald J. Trump are not part of the Alt-Right. 63 million people voted for Donald J. Trump and there are nowhere near 63 million Alt-Right people in The U.S.

    I get confused by the anti-Semitism. When I started a massive self-education program after 9/11 via the Internet, I encountered many Jews. They spanned the entire political spectrum.

    I found some really good educational stuff from right-leaning Jews.

    I was starting cold. A Math/Physics major, a long career as a computer programmer, plus raising two kids on my own, didn’t leave me a lot of spare time. By 9/11 the kids were leaving home, successfully launched, giving me a lot more spare time.

    The New Republic had some good stuff (too bad they’ve become just another lefty site).

    Front Page Mag is also good, taking many of the same stands as most readers here. But I’ve noticed occasional articles by their writer Daniel Greenfield complaining bitterly about the number of Jewish lefties. He thinks they are essentially suicidal, since they’re been active in bringing Muslims to the West. On the whole, Muslims simply hate Jews. Greenfield can’t figure out why they can’t put 2 + 2 together.

    He calls them JINOs (like RINOs).

    Since a group of right wing Jews has influenced my waking up to how bad the Left is, I can’t understand why the knee jerk anti-Semites can’t take a more nuanced view.

    For example, I think Islam poses a great threat to the West, but I acknowledge that not every single person born a Muslim is a threat. There are even a few good writers there too.

    I was surprised to find anti-Semitism on the left. But it is. As far as I can see, it’s related to the influx of Muslims. Politicians want to cater to them.

    But there could be other reasons. I wasn’t reading up politics pre-9/11. I foolishly assumed that media like Newsweek would give a realistic picture of the world.

Or, at the very least, how many of them would support the idea of the historical populations of the West maintaining their ethnic dominance? How many of them would denounce White people practicing the same ethnocentrism and identity politics that the Jews themselves aggressively pursue?

    In my experience it's literally one in a million -- Jews that support White identity -- although I'm sure you'd find at least a plurality of the anti-semitic set that has no problem with and in fact supports Israel as a Jewish ethno-state.

    And that, allowing for your confusion of Twitter with Facebook, should probably be your first clue if you want to establish who sends such messages. Cui bono? Common sense suggests three obvious groups who are probably responsible.

    Given the general modern prevalence of the "hate hoax" as a method for these identity lobby wannabe censors to jusify their "defensive" aggressions, the biggest group is probably jewish and pro-jewish groups and individuals who want to see more favourable treatment for their identity group. Exactly the same as the black and gay identity obsessives who do exactly the same kind of thing (faking up "threats" and "outrages" to make their side appear more threatened), time after time after time.

    The second group is probably far smaller and would consist of reasonably decent people who have been provoked/censored/threatened with violence or with actual prosecution by jewish and pro-jewish groups and individuals on the internet (I can confirm from direct personal experience that this kind of thing is a regular occurrence), and who lack the discipline to contain their responses.

    The final and probably vanishingly small group is of not too bright people who actually sent the messages with menacing intent.

    I think we of the anti-Left need to play by the same rules, and start publicizing each and every death threat our guys get. Use their own rule book against them. If they want to claim victim-hood points from it, so do we.

    It doesn't seem like a winning strategy to me. The trolls are mostly anonymous, while she's got a name and a position. Mooting extreme positions costs the anonymous nothing, while her statements will follow her around on her permanent record that is the internet for life. A purpose of trolling is to make the Great and Good look insane, as with Hillary Clinton muttering about the fascist implications of Pepe the Frog. So, mission accomplished for the trolls in this case. If she makes [email protected] mad by quoting a poem the real world consequences are nil.

    OT: Article in Nature that touches on Gates Foundation and population control:

    Three minutes with Hans Rosling will change your mind about the world

    He has influenced leaders from Melinda Gates to Fidel Castro. Now, he is on a mission to save people from their preconceived ideas. ...

    Rosling’s charm appeals to those frustrated by the persistence of myths about the world. Looming large is an idea popularized by Paul Ehrlich, an entomologist at Stanford University in California, who warned in 1968 that the world was heading towards mass starvation owing to overpopulation. Melinda Gates says that after a drink or two, people often tell her that they think the Gates Foundation may be contributing to overpopulation and environmental collapse by saving children’s lives with interventions such as vaccines. She is thrilled when Rosling smoothly uses data to show how the reverse is true: as rates of child survival have increased over time, family size has shrunk. ...

    Nobody knows how many Alt-Right people there are in The United States, but my guess is they outnumber the KKK but they are still outnumbered by other non mainstream groups like Juggalos, The Flat Earther Society, and Scientologists for example. In other words there are not enough Alt-Right people to help Donald J. Trump win any states in a presidential election. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Donald J. Trump are not part of the Alt-Right. 63 million people voted for Donald J. Trump and there are nowhere near 63 million Alt-Right people in The U.S.

    What a whiner; if you publicly enter the world of politics, lots of folks will make death threats against you. Being a Leftist and a woman, she takes it all so personally and thinks it so much worse when it happens to her.

    I think we of the anti-Left need to play by the same rules, and start publicizing each and every death threat our guys get. Use their own rule book against them. If they want to claim victim-hood points from it, so do we.

    Don't play by some stoic-tough-guy routine, just put them out there and talk about the threats made. Stoic-tough-guy routine won't work.

    That’s probably the dumbest thing you’ve ever said. The fact that you think lots of folks make death threats against anyone who enters the world of politics proves that your view of reality is about as unhinged as any leftist screaming hate hoaxes. The only people who regularly GET death threats are federal judges and prosecutors. The thirty threats Obama gets every day are idiots who say something suggestive on Facebook or Twitter that they didn’t actually send to anyone. I knew someone who got a phone call from the secret service because he posted something a bit too angry about Obama on his Facebook page. Back in June there was a case of one insane guy making insane death threats on Twitter to a few congressman and that was unusual.

    I suspect you assume that since you are on a self-styled sinister doxxing mission of female strangers that there must be a lot of people doing so much worse stuff all the time like sending death threats out left and right but you are wrong. And you need to think about that. And you need to repent. Because LOOK, you are being critical of a woman who takes a vividly monstrous DEATH THREAT personally.

    You clearly are in denial about how political fame draws the violent ire across the political spectrum. Your local talk radio and politicos get death threats regularly for minor and medium-events. Blow it up to a national pundit on the Ann Coulter-level, and you are going to see some serious numbers.

    The difference is not whether a threat is made, but whether it is "credible." Most of these Leftists are whining about incredible, silly threats from dudes who got a little drunk or were a little stressed out that day; Ann Coulter gets those, too. The investigators give those a cursory glance.

    But, occasionally, there IS a credible threat; the dude writes several threats in a row, or mentions where a famous person lives, etc. And those occasions happen to everyone with a national profile once in a while.

    I wonder if there is any data on this. I know Megan McArdle has written in her blog about the fairly frequent crazy death and rape threats she gets. I don't think she's at all unique. My impression is that prominent online figures tend to get a certain level of this, women usually more than men.

    This is the downside of the relative anonymity of the Internet--some people use the added freedom of anonymity to have worthwhile discussions that would get them hassled by HR if they used their true names, but there are plenty of idiots who can think of nothing more creative to do with it than send death threats to a stranger.

    Oh this is pretty damn funny actually. I always found you beyond the pale because I took your website 'about' and motto literally and thought your thing was doxxing feminists bloggers or some such. At one point, or maybe still now and then, that was going on between Roissy or one of those guys and some feminist blogger or several of them---- actually Roissy seems to viciously attack average people he somehow comes across online on a regular basis--- and under that impression I assumed your blog was about being a zealous disciple of your guru and the whole business struck me as repugnant. I don't know, the phrase 'a woman's past matters' is provocative I suppose. I just never scrolled your blog at all. We can be friendlier now though if you don't actually worship the devil in that way. I am glad you don't do that, I assumed you must be an omega who despised women, and could only hope to help your PUA brethren in cyber battle, and I even thought to feel sorry for you, that you went out in search of whores because you couldn't enjoy them. It's pretty hilarious altogether, especially now that you're just a regular guy who calls yourself whorefinder lol. Oh man shall I now tell you the time Roissy thought I didn't know who he was when he started his performance and tried to shuck me?

    Ann Coulter relishes inviting her haters more than anyone who's not on talk radio I would say, she would get death threats if anyone in that line did I suppose, and I'm sure she does, though I can't find them on twitter, and I'm sure her email is not public, much less her address, so anyways its hard for me to see how she gets deluged with them. So how is that what you know? I suspect we think people like her get more death threats than they do because they get a lot of hate mail and maybe its one of those things with celebrities where they like to call all hate mail death threats because that's more special, and I suspect not a few of them don't receive any hate mail but will say they receive lots of death threats---you believe women lie like that don't you whorefinder?

    But if EVERYONE with a national profile does get real death threats eventually I would like to know what we know about the folks who tell the least of them they are going to be killed by yours truly, who are these people and how much fun are they having or how insane are they or how much fun is their insanity? Come to think, my father used to be one of the lessers, he was on the evening news a lot and sometimes nightly for a few years when he was executive director of the ACU during the Reagan administration, and trust me when I say there is not a soul on TV today meaner than my father when he is telling you how stupid you are, for I have got the scars to prove it--- but he never got a single death threat, even though its never been uglier than it was during the Bork confirmation that's for sure. So as I say I'm skeptical, and there appears to be a conspicuous absence of data on such a stark social phenomenon. I do suspect there is not a little bit of humble bragging going on when women start talking about how much hate mail and death threats they get, tell you the truth I can't imagine otherwise, and for all of your PUA knowledge of these being, you might be gettin beta fooled bro.

    But all that is really beside the point, because, and note that no one has ever mistaken me for a philo-semite, because it's pretty self-righteous to expect a jew moreover a jewish woman that she not take it "personally" when a bunch of "our guys" tell her we prefer you were a lampshade. Nor can I fathom why she should not act like such a woman---which is bro you want your women feminine or not? And this was not like the celebrity who complains about the attention idiot, this was like the celebrity who complains about the death threats. Like I said, you are being critical of a woman for complaining about a deluge of death threats. Are you saying she should laugh off the attacks you totally support because you just want to joke around with her? Or do you not totally support the attacks and if not then why are you concerned with her reaction?

    Now lets say your right which probably you are and call it hate mail. I think a straight death threat would bother me less than hate mail that mean, because I wouldn't likely believe the death threat but I might wonder if the hate mail was more of a death threat, and that's the type of wonder that makes you wonder more. And the first thing she wondered was who is he who sent them? I suspect she was wondering was he a Nazi.

    Anyways I take it this was her first go around with any such attention, and actually I would have expected more of a reaction from her than I saw after reading that call to arms she penned, but then I don't know any norms of twitter.

    I get confused by the anti-Semitism. When I started a massive self-education program after 9/11 via the Internet, I encountered many Jews. They spanned the entire political spectrum.

    I found some really good educational stuff from right-leaning Jews.

    I was starting cold. A Math/Physics major, a long career as a computer programmer, plus raising two kids on my own, didn't leave me a lot of spare time. By 9/11 the kids were leaving home, successfully launched, giving me a lot more spare time.

    The New Republic had some good stuff (too bad they've become just another lefty site).

    Front Page Mag is also good, taking many of the same stands as most readers here. But I've noticed occasional articles by their writer Daniel Greenfield complaining bitterly about the number of Jewish lefties. He thinks they are essentially suicidal, since they're been active in bringing Muslims to the West. On the whole, Muslims simply hate Jews. Greenfield can't figure out why they can't put 2 + 2 together.

    He calls them JINOs (like RINOs).

    Since a group of right wing Jews has influenced my waking up to how bad the Left is, I can't understand why the knee jerk anti-Semites can't take a more nuanced view.

    For example, I think Islam poses a great threat to the West, but I acknowledge that not every single person born a Muslim is a threat. There are even a few good writers there too.

    I was surprised to find anti-Semitism on the left. But it is. As far as I can see, it's related to the influx of Muslims. Politicians want to cater to them.

    Nobody knows how many Alt-Right people there are in The United States, but my guess is they outnumber the KKK but they are still outnumbered by other non mainstream groups like Juggalos, The Flat Earther Society, and Scientologists for example. In other words there are not enough Alt-Right people to help Donald J. Trump win any states in a presidential election. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Donald J. Trump are not part of the Alt-Right. 63 million people voted for Donald J. Trump and there are nowhere near 63 million Alt-Right people in The U.S.

    The mainstream media is using the term Alt-Right way too loosely to describe anybody who believes protecting the 1st amendment trumps protecting political correctness and racial diversity.

    And that, allowing for your confusion of Twitter with Facebook, should probably be your first clue if you want to establish who sends such messages. Cui bono? Common sense suggests three obvious groups who are probably responsible.

    Given the general modern prevalence of the “hate hoax” as a method for these identity lobby wannabe censors to jusify their “defensive” aggressions, the biggest group is probably jewish and pro-jewish groups and individuals who want to see more favourable treatment for their identity group. Exactly the same as the black and gay identity obsessives who do exactly the same kind of thing (faking up “threats” and “outrages” to make their side appear more threatened), time after time after time.

    The second group is probably far smaller and would consist of reasonably decent people who have been provoked/censored/threatened with violence or with actual prosecution by jewish and pro-jewish groups and individuals on the internet (I can confirm from direct personal experience that this kind of thing is a regular occurrence), and who lack the discipline to contain their responses.

    The final and probably vanishingly small group is of not too bright people who actually sent the messages with menacing intent.

    Spencer did not coin the term “alt-right.” Spencer named a web domain “alternative right,” which was a term introduced to the public about six months earlier by Paul Gottfried.

    Spencer seems to have a penchant for appropriating others’ ideas and memes.

    And not only is “alternative right” a phrase distinct from “alt-right”. When the latter term exploded onto the scene last year, it had a different meaning from Spencer’s “alternativeright.com” referent of five years earlier.

    And last year’s term now has an additional meaning thanks to Spencer: racial purity ethnonationalism and ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil.

    I wanted to understand who the terrorists were and why they did what they did. It seemed comparable to Pearl Harbor.

    As I studied, lines of inquiry not directly related to 9/11 opened. I stressed my newfound spare time to emphasize how much effort went into this.

    I even spent two years after I retired 2012 immersed 24/7 as a co-blogger at the Canadian site BlazingCatFur.

    I found blogging too time consuming and even too depressing. But I continue to read, although I have long since understood that 9/11 was ultimately a product of Islam.

    I developed an interest in various offshoots of study, some ranging far from my original quest (including reading Steve's blog).

    Oh yes and I discovered how badly the Left had deteriorated since I been an leftist based on family background (my father was a union organizer in Canada in the late 1930s). I also discovered that even in the 1930s the Left was not so great as I'd thought with their support of Stalin.

    It’s the nature of Twitter or Twatter.
    You can’t say much, so it’s only good for sharing links, posting memes, hurling insults, tossing epithets, being ‘snarky’, etc. Mockery and ridicule.

    Someone with a knack for slogans can use it creatively, but it’s just a mud-slinging fest for the hoi polloi, most of us.

    Btw, how convenient for her that a word like ‘antisemitic’ exists with which to discredit her attackers. But she can proudly indulge in the worst kind of anti-white-gentile-male hatred because it hasn’t been terminologically pathologized.

    I was quite pleased to find this term, “alt-right”, some time ago. It felt liberating, and had a pleasing oxymoronic flavor: “right” suggests conformity, dull rigor, seriousness; “alt” the opposite, with a “think different” flavor. For some reason and perhaps wrongly, I associated it with Razib and his unapologetic un-pc opinions. Certainly I did not link it to any kind of racial or ethnic movement, quite the contrary. The label “paleo-con” had its charm and humor too (long after “neo-con” had been robbed of any novelty or appeal), but it felt as self-evidently doomed as my attempts to follow the diet of the same name.

    By the way I assume “alt” came from Usenet, the “alt-*” newsgroups providing a “home for a wide variety of things that did not fit elsewhere”. This home, and all of Usenet, has slowly disappeared, due to obsolescence and uncontrolled dissemination of illegal materials such as child pornography. Nobody’s perfect…

    I get confused by the anti-Semitism. When I started a massive self-education program after 9/11 via the Internet, I encountered many Jews. They spanned the entire political spectrum.

    I found some really good educational stuff from right-leaning Jews.

    I was starting cold. A Math/Physics major, a long career as a computer programmer, plus raising two kids on my own, didn't leave me a lot of spare time. By 9/11 the kids were leaving home, successfully launched, giving me a lot more spare time.

    The New Republic had some good stuff (too bad they've become just another lefty site).

    Front Page Mag is also good, taking many of the same stands as most readers here. But I've noticed occasional articles by their writer Daniel Greenfield complaining bitterly about the number of Jewish lefties. He thinks they are essentially suicidal, since they're been active in bringing Muslims to the West. On the whole, Muslims simply hate Jews. Greenfield can't figure out why they can't put 2 + 2 together.

    He calls them JINOs (like RINOs).

    Since a group of right wing Jews has influenced my waking up to how bad the Left is, I can't understand why the knee jerk anti-Semites can't take a more nuanced view.

    For example, I think Islam poses a great threat to the West, but I acknowledge that not every single person born a Muslim is a threat. There are even a few good writers there too.

    I was surprised to find anti-Semitism on the left. But it is. As far as I can see, it's related to the influx of Muslims. Politicians want to cater to them.

    But there could be other reasons. I wasn't reading up politics pre-9/11. I foolishly assumed that media like Newsweek would give a realistic picture of the world.

    Alt-Right turns out to have been a disaster of a coinage. It was first used as a rough equivalent of paleoconservative, but in the six months it was appropriated, with heavy MSM support, by Spencer and other fringe neo-Nazi types. So the press, in article after article, does a friendly profile of Spencer, and then runs the same Bannon quote about Breitbart being a platform for the alt-right, when Bannon of course used the word in the normal way.
     
    I think this is largely accurate. I'm not sure about "friendly profile(s) of Spencer", but the widespread linkage from alt-right to Breitbart to White Nationalists is way too facile and inaccurate. My understanding of alt-right was that it designated a non-cucked right that saw through PC and the NeoCons and liked to troll the left with Pepe memes, etc. Part Paleo and part snotty pranksters and trolls. I'm not sure that Spencer and Moldbug co-exist in the same space.

    But, occasionally, there IS a credible threat; the dude writes several threats in a row, or mentions where a famous person lives, etc. And those occasions happen to everyone with a national profile once in a while.

    This is the downside of the relative anonymity of the Internet–some people use the added freedom of anonymity to have worthwhile discussions that would get them hassled by HR if they used their true names, but there are plenty of idiots who can think of nothing more creative to do with it than send death threats to a stranger.

    there's also the issue of what constitutes a "death threat." Hysterical Lefties will claim that if someone says "you're a cancer on humanity" or "I hope you get AIDS", it's a death threat; they constantly stretch the definition. Look how Patty Cuck is so delusional that he thinks that I'm making death threats and doxxing women, simply because I'm refusing to believe she's receiving credible death threats.

    And that's before you can even consider whether the threat is credible.

    You can always tell when a Lefty is lying about their supposed "death threats" because, when challenged, they won't release the email/posting/tweet that supposedly threatened them with death, fully and in context. They want to be able to make accusations of "death threats" and not be challenged on it. When this happens, assume they're lying and don't believe them.

    Spencer seems to have a penchant for appropriating others' ideas and memes.

    And not only is "alternative right" a phrase distinct from "alt-right". When the latter term exploded onto the scene last year, it had a different meaning from Spencer's "alternativeright.com" referent of five years earlier.

    And last year's term now has an additional meaning thanks to Spencer: racial purity ethnonationalism and ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil.

I don’t know, the phrase ‘a woman’s past matters’ is provocative I suppose. I just never scrolled your blog at all.

Oh man shall I now tell you the time Roissy thought I didn’t know who he was when he started his performance and tried to shuck me?

    Ann Coulter relishes inviting her haters more than anyone who’s not on talk radio I would say, she would get death threats if anyone in that line did I suppose, and I’m sure she does, though I can’t find them on twitter, and I’m sure her email is not public, much less her address, so anyways its hard for me to see how she gets deluged with them. So how is that what you know? I suspect we think people like her get more death threats than they do because they get a lot of hate mail and maybe its one of those things with celebrities where they like to call all hate mail death threats because that’s more special, and I suspect not a few of them don’t receive any hate mail but will say they receive lots of death threats—you believe women lie like that don’t you whorefinder?

    But if EVERYONE with a national profile does get real death threats eventually I would like to know what we know about the folks who tell the least of them they are going to be killed by yours truly, who are these people and how much fun are they having or how insane are they or how much fun is their insanity? Come to think, my father used to be one of the lessers, he was on the evening news a lot and sometimes nightly for a few years when he was executive director of the ACU during the Reagan administration, and trust me when I say there is not a soul on TV today meaner than my father when he is telling you how stupid you are, for I have got the scars to prove it— but he never got a single death threat, even though its never been uglier than it was during the Bork confirmation that’s for sure. So as I say I’m skeptical, and there appears to be a conspicuous absence of data on such a stark social phenomenon. I do suspect there is not a little bit of humble bragging going on when women start talking about how much hate mail and death threats they get, tell you the truth I can’t imagine otherwise, and for all of your PUA knowledge of these being, you might be gettin beta fooled bro.

    But all that is really beside the point, because, and note that no one has ever mistaken me for a philo-semite, because it’s pretty self-righteous to expect a jew moreover a jewish woman that she not take it “personally” when a bunch of “our guys” tell her we prefer you were a lampshade. Nor can I fathom why she should not act like such a woman—which is bro you want your women feminine or not? And this was not like the celebrity who complains about the attention idiot, this was like the celebrity who complains about the death threats. Like I said, you are being critical of a woman for complaining about a deluge of death threats. Are you saying she should laugh off the attacks you totally support because you just want to joke around with her? Or do you not totally support the attacks and if not then why are you concerned with her reaction?

    Now lets say your right which probably you are and call it hate mail. I think a straight death threat would bother me less than hate mail that mean, because I wouldn’t likely believe the death threat but I might wonder if the hate mail was more of a death threat, and that’s the type of wonder that makes you wonder more. And the first thing she wondered was who is he who sent them? I suspect she was wondering was he a Nazi.

    Anyways I take it this was her first go around with any such attention, and actually I would have expected more of a reaction from her than I saw after reading that call to arms she penned, but then I don’t know any norms of twitter.

    Your father did not have Facebook, Twitter, email, and his own personal website. One of the blessings of Twitter has been how it momentarily pops the bubbles of Leftist celebrities by people trolling them, and then setting them off. But they also receive a ton more threats/threatening insults to them because they are more connected.

    Don't be obtuse.

    it’s pretty self-righteous to expect a jew moreover a jewish woman that she not take it “personally” when a bunch of “our guys” tell her we prefer you were a lampshade.

     

    The Left has only itself to blame for pushing Holocaust Worship/Evil Nazis down everyone's throat for 70+ years now. Like the term "rape", the Left has so wildly overused the Nazi trope it's now a joke, especially since there are no Nazis around. This is the natural, over-the-top, clearly-not-serious reaction to it. And she was never in the Holocaust, her claiming any "personal" insult is laughable. Unless you were an actual Holocaust victim, a Holocaust joke isn't serious, you're just overreacting, trying to invoke some Jewish privilege, so wusses like Patty C. white knight for you.


    And this was not like the celebrity who complains about the attention idiot, this was like the celebrity who complains about the death threats.
     
    This is like a celebrity complaining somebody was mean to them online. Because that's all it is. Relax, white knight.

    LMAO. Not death threats, she's overreacting to her fame bringing people don't like her, like a wuss. If a woman wants to be fame, she doesn't get to make everyone like her.

    Not death threats, white knight.

    Now lets say your right which probably you are and call it hate mail

    So Patty Cuck goes through an entire white knight rage spiral defending this anti-gentile's hysteria, and then admits, "Yeah, dude, you're prolly right."

    I get confused by the anti-Semitism. When I started a massive self-education program after 9/11 via the Internet, I encountered many Jews. They spanned the entire political spectrum.

    I found some really good educational stuff from right-leaning Jews.

    I was starting cold. A Math/Physics major, a long career as a computer programmer, plus raising two kids on my own, didn't leave me a lot of spare time. By 9/11 the kids were leaving home, successfully launched, giving me a lot more spare time.

    The New Republic had some good stuff (too bad they've become just another lefty site).

    Front Page Mag is also good, taking many of the same stands as most readers here. But I've noticed occasional articles by their writer Daniel Greenfield complaining bitterly about the number of Jewish lefties. He thinks they are essentially suicidal, since they're been active in bringing Muslims to the West. On the whole, Muslims simply hate Jews. Greenfield can't figure out why they can't put 2 + 2 together.

    He calls them JINOs (like RINOs).

    Since a group of right wing Jews has influenced my waking up to how bad the Left is, I can't understand why the knee jerk anti-Semites can't take a more nuanced view.

    For example, I think Islam poses a great threat to the West, but I acknowledge that not every single person born a Muslim is a threat. There are even a few good writers there too.

    I was surprised to find anti-Semitism on the left. But it is. As far as I can see, it's related to the influx of Muslims. Politicians want to cater to them.

    But there could be other reasons. I wasn't reading up politics pre-9/11. I foolishly assumed that media like Newsweek would give a realistic picture of the world.

    I take your point and I wanted to ask you, in relation to that point, how many of those right-wing Jews are actually pro-White? Or, at the very least, how many of them would support the idea of the historical populations of the West maintaining their ethnic dominance? How many of them would denounce White people practicing the same ethnocentrism and identity politics that the Jews themselves aggressively pursue?

    In my experience it’s literally one in a million — Jews that support White identity — although I’m sure you’d find at least a plurality of the anti-semitic set that has no problem with and in fact supports Israel as a Jewish ethno-state.

    I can't speak for those I haven't read in the short time since Trump was elected.

    But at FrontPage (run by Jew David Horowitz) all the writers (including the Jew Daniel Greenfield that I mentioned) seem to see themselves as white too.

    They agree with all the points that made Trump a winner (largely a cutback on immigration, including a separation fence) and a distinct distaste for Islam. They do support Israel, but I cannot see a contradiction as they support reduced immigration to the U.S.

    They don't see themselves as a Jewish site and many non-Jews write there also.

    You could check it out yourself.

    They are likely not far from a site like Breitbart.

    BlazingCatFur supports both Israel and an end to mass immigration to Canada (the man who runs the site is not Jewish).

    There are many site in this category.

    As to what fraction of Jews would identify with editorial line at FrontPage, I can't say.

    Another point: many of the Jews who support mass immigration to the US are not particularly interested in Israel, or are outright anti-Israel.

    More than one in a million. Romney got 30% of the Jewish vote and Trump 20%, so you might go as far as two in three, though I suspect a lot of those were vaguely right-leaning guys who couldn't stomach Hillary, or didn't think Trump would really go after the Jews. A lot of the right-wing intelligentsia didn't like Trump, and a lot of those were Jewish. If I had to guess I'd say 'right-wing Jews' are usually OK with generic white people and terrified of white nationalists.

    The Breitbart crowd actually practices a sort of soft white identity politics. They'll report on crimes by illegal immigrants and Muslims, though of course those aren't races per se. When you get to real white identity politics the Hitler stuff scares a lot of people off, Jewish and otherwise.

    One of the things I've realized over the years is that the mushy middle is actually a pretty vital place politically even if it's flabby intellectually. Soft-pedaling racial appeals gives you just enough deniability to moderate whites to get elected to major offices. If whites are afraid of black crime, you can promise to crack down on crime and put lots of black people in jail, and well, theoretically black people who aren't criminals have nothing to worry about.

    One thing I forgot to mention. People talk as though Gentiles were powerless puppets of Jews.

    This is ridiculous. In Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau was the driving force behind multiculturalism. And his idiotic son is now our prime minister.

    Trudeau Sr. was part French and part Scottish. I have it heard it said that the 100% French Canadians didn't accept him due to this mixed background. Thus he wanted a whole bunch of other ethnicities to dilute the French and English-speakers.

    I have no idea if this true or not, but the man certainly wasn't Jewish or even particularly interested in them. The francophone/Anglophone debate was the big story in Canada.

    And at the present time, there is no shortage of Gentiles who are all in favour of mass immigration for some reason I can't figure out. I've encountered many of them. They don't seem to even have an opinion on Israel or Jews.

    There are fewer Jews per capita in Canada than the US. They are particularly thin on the ground in western Canada. Yet there are leftist idiots galore out here. You can take that to the bank.

    The term "white people" is perhaps where we differ. Most Ashkenazi Jews do look white, and if a Jew wants to call him/herself "white," that's fine with me.

    Now if I had lived my life in a an area where there were large Jewish minorities (I'm thinking pre-WW II Eastern Europe) I might have a different opinion.

    But since they're a tiny minority in B.C., Canada, I can't see them as a threat. There aren't even enough in all of Canada to bother me.

    So you might say, I just have no experience with the problem.

    But as I mentioned in another comment, the small number of Jews in Canada did not slow the globalist agenda, including mass immigration from very different cultures, at all.

    The point I'm making is even if Jews were prominent in the onset mass immigration in the US, it happened even so in Canada. In summary, the idea that there would not have been mass immigration without Jews, is wrong.

    The West is crawling is crazy Gentile leftists. The emphasis on Jews makes no sense. You have to look at the West as a whole, rather than restrict yourself the US.

    Spencer is not a fringe ‘neo-Nazi’. If he is, then so is Sailer. Stop throwing around epithets designed by the SPLC.

    Also, Bannon didn’t use it in the ‘normal way’. That’s absurd. Breitbart basically serves up Neoconservatism/libertarianism. It isn’t alternative in any way. The Alt-Right is a White identity movement. Nothing else.

    Eh...no. Spencer isn't a Nazi per se. He does represent the core alt-right. There are people like Anglin who are even more extreme.

    I wouldn't really say Breitbart is neocon (though they do support Israel quite strongly) or libertarian. They've covered European nationalist movements quite positively, at least the milder ones like UKIP, FN, and AfD. They've covered crime by illegal immigrants and Muslims quite extensively.
    It's more a sort of kosher alt-lite; they support white interests as long as it doesn't mean directly attacking Jewish ones. And they'll often go after Jewish liberals, they just don't call them out for being Jewish. (Except for the one time Dave Horowitz went after Bill Kristol, and the MSM hung that around their necks for weeks.)

    On the one hand, I guess it's not a pure white identity movement. On the other hand, they won.

    Restricting immigration, both legal and illegal, implies that we are favoring whites which is true, but it also implies that we are favoring other ethnic groups based on who gets in. Seeing that there is an unlimited number of people from everywhere other than Europe and Japan who want to come here, there is a very real competition among the 'others' so we are favoring who ever else we lean in favor of.

    We have overdosed on Hispanics. Even if we kept immigration levels at where they are but put our thumb on the scale to help Indians (dots not feathers), or South East Asians, that would be completely unacceptable for the poor poor Latinos who are sitting 10 feet on the other side of the border looking to hop across. We should be playing these dirt bags against one another rather than using them to fortify the left. Building a fence / concertina wire / anti-tank ditch along the US-Mex border will help that hugely.

    My two cents is that we should require an environmental impact report every year regarding immigration. What could be more environmentally correct? Want more Somalis? I don't. Just make sure there is a detailed report showing how it impacts the rest of the country, our quality of life included, and we will be back on the road to having a sane and civil national conversation.

In other words there are not enough Alt-Right people to help Donald J. Trump win any states in a presidential election. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Donald J. Trump are not part of the Alt-Right. 63 million people voted for Donald J. Trump and there are nowhere near 63 million Alt-Right people in The U.S.

    The mainstream media is using the term Alt-Right way too loosely to describe anybody who believes protecting the 1st amendment trumps protecting political correctness and racial diversity.

  159. @donnazuck (posted without comment):

    “pictures of my face on a lampshade ARE wrong and evil.”

    “I’ve been fielding anti-Semitic tweets for 24 hours now. Coping mechanisms are key”

    “this is why I have a “male tears” mug”

    “They feel subversive for using social media to share pics of my siblings’ faces on lamps”

    A few points:

    1. Making fun of sanctimonious people is fun. Jews have pushed this idea via popular culture for generations. She’s upset about whose ox is being gored; it’d be okay if it was Christ showered in piss (but not Annelies Frank).

    2. Lampshades made of Jewish skin were a Jewish calumny against Europeans. A blood libel against Europeans. There were no lampshades of skin. The evil there was Jewish-perpetrated. So Europeans get to make jokes, and Jews get to suck it up, and – if they want to be honest – acknowledge their calumny.

    3. Coping mechanisms are good. The trolls are toughening you up, princess. You didn’t choose a life of needlepoint, you chose a life in the public eye. Jews are famous for their chutzpah and brass, so a few tweets shouldn’t be a biggie. They’re also legendary for their complaining about Gentiles, so again, there’s a symbiosis. P.S., get some sleep, nobody should go at it for 24 hours straight for something as trivial as Twitter.

    4. It IS subversive using social media to share pics of your creepy shitheel robber baron (Big) brothers’ face on lampshades. You’re experiencing the less-than-total-hegemony of Jewish Privilege, which is (inter alia) the idea that Jews get to dish it (subversion, irreverence, iconoclasm, etc.) out, but they don’t have to take it.

    5. Maybe if Weimar-era Germans had Twitter to vent their feelings, the Jewish holocaust wouldn’t have happened.

    6. This is what freedom feels like. It’s the American Way. If it’s not to your taste, there’s always Europe, where they put people in jail for crimethink, and humor Jews don’t like.

    7. You’re a stinking filthy rich member of the plutocrat class. This is what “afflicting the comfortable” looks like.

    8. You have your own personal ethnic Reich to decamp to; we do not.

    9. You are being trolled, and yes, it’s funny. Not objectively funny, but nothing is.

    I can go on if you like, princess. Good luck with the pea.

  160. Meanwhile in reality, Trump is the most pro-Israel president ever.

    Yeah but he was also the most opposed-by-Jews president ever. Probably because he’s the most wrong-kind-of-pro-Israel president ever. He’s even said stuff like “I love Israel, I’m gonna build a wall like theirs,” a strategy which this ANTI-SEMITE!!! has been recommending for years.

    Personally, I like the idea of boosting Israel (and White Zionism) at the expense of Diaspora Jewry.

    (To Syon):

    They don’t have a problem with self-hating types who kiss their asses.

    Jewish Supremacy: nobody thinks about Jews more than Jews do (Jews on the brain is great if you’re Jewish, but bad Bad BAD if you’re not); the 1/4 of his ancestry is EVERYTHING, the other 3/4 is shit not worthy of mention.

    I get confused by the anti-Semitism. When I started a massive self-education program after 9/11 via the Internet, I encountered many Jews. They spanned the entire political spectrum.

    Funny, starting a “massive self-education program after 9/11 via the Internet” is exactly how I became an ANTI-SEMITE!!! I haven’t noticed many counter-Jewish ethnopatriots of the Jewish persuasion, though. And I was into forums, too, not just articles.

    (The problem with people who are “confused about the anti-Semitism” is distinguishing the people who are genuinely confused and could use a primer, and the people who are rhetorically confused, and will remain so confused until the day they die, no matter how many primers they receive. In my experience, the latter far outnumber the former. The former tend to find a primer and stop being confused.)

    complaining bitterly about the number of Jewish lefties. He thinks they are essentially suicidal, since they’re been active in bringing Muslims to the West. On the whole, Muslims simply hate Jews. Greenfield can’t figure out why they can’t put 2 + 2 together.

    Jews are pretty invested in leftism, and leftism is heavily into (forcing society to) tolerate the intolerable. Personally, I hesitate to call people “suicidal” when they perceive their own interests differently than I do. Especially Jews, who show every indication of being the least ethnically suicidal white tribe on the planet, by far.

    Since a group of right wing Jews has influenced my waking up to how bad the Left is, I can’t understand why the knee jerk anti-Semites can’t take a more nuanced view.

    I assume by “knee jerk anti-Semites,” you mean people who bear animus to all Jews, regardless of their positions. I’ve rarely encountered any such, outside places like Stormfront. At places like iSteve, I can’t think of the last time I encountered one. I’m some people’s idea of an arch-anti-Semite, and even I have a long list of Righteous Jews.

    From Princess Donna:

    I’ll give birth to an army of mixed-race babies.

    I doubt she’ll give birth to even one mixed-race baby. Her agreement will very likely turn out to be of the “let’s you and him fight” variety: it’s great that you are having mixed-race babies, honey.

    You aren’t either overtly or subtly advocating for the displacement and extinction of White Gentiles. That’s why the Alt-Right isn’t sending death threats to you.

    Yeah but the knee jerk anti-Semites don’t care about that.

    Syronredux talks so much about WASP British pride that I often forget he is a Jew.

    Jewish Supremacy: the 1/4 of his ancestry is EVERYTHING, the other 3/4 is shit not worthy of mention.

    Because LOOK, you are being critical of a woman who takes a vividly monstrous DEATH THREAT personally.

    You wrote a comment coherent enough for me to read halfway through it; I guess this issue has focused your mind.

    No, her face on a lampshade isn’t a death threat. It’s dark humor and trolling. And she responds the way the trollers intend. It’s kind of like replying to an email spammer.

    K, you go on to sink back into incoherence; you seem to shift (in the next two sentences, mind) to suggesting that it’s her catnip. Her comments to the tune of “male tears cup” and “they think they’re subversive” do seem to suggest that she’s engaging in rhetorical combat, which puts her victim pose in a different light.

  161. “Jews get spooked by white identity politics because, well, Hitler, and hundreds of oven memes sent at every Jewish reporter who mocks them don’t help.”

    Europeans get spooked by (Jewish-run) leftism because, well, communism, Palestinians, and Big Media fellow-traveling with communism and Zionism doesn’t help.

    Sounds like a case of irreconcilable differences.

    Adolf Hitler worship is very Homo and creepy if you ask me. The whole sieg heil White nationalist Stormfront 14 words movement gives off such a creepy Manson Family and Jim Jones Jonestown type cult vibe.

    Well, you do watch way too much TV. That shit rots your brain. Not defending Hitler-worship, just pointing out that your feelings have been manipulated from the cradle.

    Communism and leftism are what I find “creepy.” Especially the Stepford-Wives-like attitude Americans have toward them.

    but I can still be friends with Nonwhite people on an individual basis.

    So can I.

    “Spencer did not coin the term “alt-right.” Spencer named a web domain “alternative right,” which was a term introduced to the public about six months earlier by Paul Gottfried.”

    Wrong. Gottfried says they “co-created” the term “alternative right,” IIRC.

They've basically made their peace with private industry, they just want to equidistribute every race and gender at equal portions throughout every level of it.

    Oh this is pretty damn funny actually. I always found you beyond the pale because I took your website 'about' and motto literally and thought your thing was doxxing feminists bloggers or some such. At one point, or maybe still now and then, that was going on between Roissy or one of those guys and some feminist blogger or several of them---- actually Roissy seems to viciously attack average people he somehow comes across online on a regular basis--- and under that impression I assumed your blog was about being a zealous disciple of your guru and the whole business struck me as repugnant. I don't know, the phrase 'a woman's past matters' is provocative I suppose. I just never scrolled your blog at all. We can be friendlier now though if you don't actually worship the devil in that way. I am glad you don't do that, I assumed you must be an omega who despised women, and could only hope to help your PUA brethren in cyber battle, and I even thought to feel sorry for you, that you went out in search of whores because you couldn't enjoy them. It's pretty hilarious altogether, especially now that you're just a regular guy who calls yourself whorefinder lol. Oh man shall I now tell you the time Roissy thought I didn't know who he was when he started his performance and tried to shuck me?

    Ann Coulter relishes inviting her haters more than anyone who's not on talk radio I would say, she would get death threats if anyone in that line did I suppose, and I'm sure she does, though I can't find them on twitter, and I'm sure her email is not public, much less her address, so anyways its hard for me to see how she gets deluged with them. So how is that what you know? I suspect we think people like her get more death threats than they do because they get a lot of hate mail and maybe its one of those things with celebrities where they like to call all hate mail death threats because that's more special, and I suspect not a few of them don't receive any hate mail but will say they receive lots of death threats---you believe women lie like that don't you whorefinder?

    But if EVERYONE with a national profile does get real death threats eventually I would like to know what we know about the folks who tell the least of them they are going to be killed by yours truly, who are these people and how much fun are they having or how insane are they or how much fun is their insanity? Come to think, my father used to be one of the lessers, he was on the evening news a lot and sometimes nightly for a few years when he was executive director of the ACU during the Reagan administration, and trust me when I say there is not a soul on TV today meaner than my father when he is telling you how stupid you are, for I have got the scars to prove it--- but he never got a single death threat, even though its never been uglier than it was during the Bork confirmation that's for sure. So as I say I'm skeptical, and there appears to be a conspicuous absence of data on such a stark social phenomenon. I do suspect there is not a little bit of humble bragging going on when women start talking about how much hate mail and death threats they get, tell you the truth I can't imagine otherwise, and for all of your PUA knowledge of these being, you might be gettin beta fooled bro.

    But all that is really beside the point, because, and note that no one has ever mistaken me for a philo-semite, because it's pretty self-righteous to expect a jew moreover a jewish woman that she not take it "personally" when a bunch of "our guys" tell her we prefer you were a lampshade. Nor can I fathom why she should not act like such a woman---which is bro you want your women feminine or not? And this was not like the celebrity who complains about the attention idiot, this was like the celebrity who complains about the death threats. Like I said, you are being critical of a woman for complaining about a deluge of death threats. Are you saying she should laugh off the attacks you totally support because you just want to joke around with her? Or do you not totally support the attacks and if not then why are you concerned with her reaction?

    Now lets say your right which probably you are and call it hate mail. I think a straight death threat would bother me less than hate mail that mean, because I wouldn't likely believe the death threat but I might wonder if the hate mail was more of a death threat, and that's the type of wonder that makes you wonder more. And the first thing she wondered was who is he who sent them? I suspect she was wondering was he a Nazi.

    Anyways I take it this was her first go around with any such attention, and actually I would have expected more of a reaction from her than I saw after reading that call to arms she penned, but then I don't know any norms of twitter.

    Meanwhile in reality, Trump is the most pro-Israel president ever.

    Since 1948 the US has refused to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital – or even as part of Israel. This policy of nonrecognition – embodied by the US refusal to transfer the US Embassy to Jerusalem – has been maintained by a bipartisan consensus despite the fact that for the past 20 years, US law has required the State Department to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the embassy to Jerusalem.

    When Trump promised to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, his words were greeted with cynicism.
     
    Clinton and W both made and broke the same promise.

    But then this week his senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said Trump is serious about moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
     
    His ambassador is also saying it will happen. He's a settler activist focused on building as fast as possible housing in the occupied outskirts of Jerusalem, some of which has been demolished after court fights in Israel.

    In one fell swoop, the 68-year-old consensus is gone.
     
    The full article is overly long but advances the idea that the goal will be formal Israeli annexation with US support of nearly all of the West Bank outside of the Arab population centers. Or should I say Judea and Samaria.

    I often find myself reverting to the Windows 2.0/3.0 commands: Ctrl-Ins (copy) and Shift-Ins (paste). (Don’t forget Ctrl-Del for cut.)

    Microsoft Word for DOS used Del for Cut and Ins for paste. Having a one-key command for paste makes a lot of sense. (You can customize the keyboard in almost any decent modern word processor.)

    One of the reasons why WordPerfect 5.1 was so popular (aside from the old WordPerfect Corporation’s exemplary customer support*) was that you could remap the entire keyboard. You could even reprogram the alphanumeric keys.

    Cttl-V and Ctrl-C were taken from the Mac, where the equivalent commands were issued with the Command key.

    Incidentally, in 1984, IBM PC keyboards had the Cttl key where the Caps Lock key is now. IBM switched to the modern layout around 1986. As late as 1990, some clones were still being sold with the earlier layout. (Some Apple keyboards had Cttl in the Caps Lock spot, as well.)

    The early Mac keyboards had no arrow keys. Word 1.0 for the Mac used such combinations as Cmd-Opt-semicolon for moving the cursor.

    Not that anyone cares, but the Windows 2.0/3.0 command for Cut is Shift-Del, not Ctrl-Del.

    The Windows 1.0 commands were F2 (Copy), Del (Cut), and Ins (Paste). As I said earlier, DOS Word used the same keys for Cut and Paste.

    Oddly, the first three versions of DOS Word did not have a keyboard shortcut for Copy, aside from Esc (Access Menu)-C (Copy).

    Another DOS Word 1.x-3.x oddity was that the menu at the bottom of the screen:
    http://toastytech.com/guis/word115default.png

    ...was accessed with the Esc key, but dismissed with the Alpha command. Pressing Esc while in the menu did nothing. (The menu could not be hidden.) Also, the program used Tab and Spacebar, not the arrow keys, for menu navigation and selection.

    (Some of these conventions live on in Windows, where Tab and Spacebar are used in dialog boxes.)

    Microsoft's DOS applications were extremely quirky and awkward. The company's early Windows apps benefited tremendously from Microsoft's experience in writing Mac apps.

    They also benefited from Microsoft's ownership of the operating system. Microsoft apps used undocumented calls to gain better performance and greater stability. (They were still buggy, but not as buggy as some of the crap other companies were dumping on the market.)

    Companies such as WordPerfect and Lotus that ported their best-selling DOS programs to Windows struggled to produce versions that didn't crash every five minutes.

    In late 1991, the brand-new WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows took 45 seconds to load on a 386/33 - hardly a slow machine at the time. (It was somewhat faster on a top-of-the-line 486.) Any small change involving a printer - such as changing the default paper size - could take upwards of ten minutes, during which the machine was frozen.

    Around the same time, Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows was so sluggish that one reviewer, who usually took 15 minutes to run through the features of a new program, gave up in frustration after it took him two hours to get halfway through his checklist.

    All Windows programs were slow in those days, but not that slow.

    Nobody knows how many Alt-Right people there are in The United States, but my guess is they outnumber the KKK but they are still outnumbered by other non mainstream groups like Juggalos, The Flat Earther Society, and Scientologists for example. In other words there are not enough Alt-Right people to help Donald J. Trump win any states in a presidential election. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Donald J. Trump are not part of the Alt-Right. 63 million people voted for Donald J. Trump and there are nowhere near 63 million Alt-Right people in The U.S.

    Eh…no. Spencer isn’t a Nazi per se. He does represent the core alt-right. There are people like Anglin who are even more extreme.

    I wouldn’t really say Breitbart is neocon (though they do support Israel quite strongly) or libertarian. They’ve covered European nationalist movements quite positively, at least the milder ones like UKIP, FN, and AfD. They’ve covered crime by illegal immigrants and Muslims quite extensively.
    It’s more a sort of kosher alt-lite; they support white interests as long as it doesn’t mean directly attacking Jewish ones. And they’ll often go after Jewish liberals, they just don’t call them out for being Jewish. (Except for the one time Dave Horowitz went after Bill Kristol, and the MSM hung that around their necks for weeks.)

    They agree with all the points that made Trump a winner (largely a cutback on immigration, including a separation fence) and a distinct distaste for Islam. They do support Israel, but I cannot see a contradiction as they support reduced immigration to the U.S.

    But that's part of the problem. In so doing, whether or not it's sincere, they deny us our own identity. The acid test is whether they accept our undeniable right to exclude them from anything and everything of ours. And that is the one-in-a-million thing that Lyov Myshkin is talking about. One-in-a-million may be an exaggeration, but the number of Jews who accept white rights is minuscule. But, in any event, we are wrong to focus on the beliefs of specific Jews who operate outside he framework of the organized Jewish community.

    More than one in a million. Romney got 30% of the Jewish vote and Trump 20%, so you might go as far as two in three, though I suspect a lot of those were vaguely right-leaning guys who couldn’t stomach Hillary, or didn’t think Trump would really go after the Jews. A lot of the right-wing intelligentsia didn’t like Trump, and a lot of those were Jewish. If I had to guess I’d say ‘right-wing Jews’ are usually OK with generic white people and terrified of white nationalists.

    The Breitbart crowd actually practices a sort of soft white identity politics. They’ll report on crimes by illegal immigrants and Muslims, though of course those aren’t races per se. When you get to real white identity politics the Hitler stuff scares a lot of people off, Jewish and otherwise.

    One of the things I’ve realized over the years is that the mushy middle is actually a pretty vital place politically even if it’s flabby intellectually. Soft-pedaling racial appeals gives you just enough deniability to moderate whites to get elected to major offices. If whites are afraid of black crime, you can promise to crack down on crime and put lots of black people in jail, and well, theoretically black people who aren’t criminals have nothing to worry about.

    Trudeau Sr. was part French and part Scottish. I have it heard it said that the 100% French Canadians didn’t accept him due to this mixed background. Thus he wanted a whole bunch of other ethnicities to dilute the French and English-speakers.

    I have no idea if this true or not, but the man certainly wasn’t Jewish or even particularly interested in them. The francophone/Anglophone debate was the big story in Canada.

    And at the present time, there is no shortage of Gentiles who are all in favour of mass immigration for some reason I can’t figure out. I’ve encountered many of them. They don’t seem to even have an opinion on Israel or Jews.

Jewish groups do agitate in favour of multiculturalism and mass immigration but there are so few of them their influence is pretty marginal. Mostly they're so insignificant that nobody notices them.

    Here’s a list of 7 core Alt-Right beliefs. Let’s see how I do:


    1.) People are different. Human inequality is a fact of life and belief systems that deny this lead to distortion and oppression. Both individuals and populations vary in their characteristics in meaningful ways, such as intelligence and social behavior. One size does not fit all, not comfortably at least.
     
    Yep

    2.) Our world is tribal.
     
    Yep

    3.) Our tribe is being suppressed. The new left doctrine of racial struggle in favor of non-whites only, a product of decolonization and the defeat of nationalists by egalitarians after WWII, must be repudiated and Whites must be allowed to take their own side in their affairs. A value system that says Whites are not allowed to have collective interests and literally every other identity group can do so and ought to do so is unacceptable.

     

    Yep

    4.) Men are not women and women are not men.

     

    Yep

    5.) Freedom is a responsibility and not a right.
     
    Yep

    6.) If we must be a democratic society, the franchise should be limited.
     
    Yep

    The final alt-right sh[**]-test is whether or not someone agrees with the reality that Jewish elites are opposed to our entire program.
     
    Yep

    Guess this means that I’m Alt-Right

My impression is that prominent online figures tend to get a certain level of this, women usually more than men.

    This is the downside of the relative anonymity of the Internet--some people use the added freedom of anonymity to have worthwhile discussions that would get them hassled by HR if they used their true names, but there are plenty of idiots who can think of nothing more creative to do with it than send death threats to a stranger.

    there’s also the issue of what constitutes a “death threat.” Hysterical Lefties will claim that if someone says “you’re a cancer on humanity” or “I hope you get AIDS”, it’s a death threat; they constantly stretch the definition. Look how Patty Cuck is so delusional that he thinks that I’m making death threats and doxxing women, simply because I’m refusing to believe she’s receiving credible death threats.

    And that’s before you can even consider whether the threat is credible.

    You can always tell when a Lefty is lying about their supposed “death threats” because, when challenged, they won’t release the email/posting/tweet that supposedly threatened them with death, fully and in context. They want to be able to make accusations of “death threats” and not be challenged on it. When this happens, assume they’re lying and don’t believe them.

    I often find myself reverting to the Windows 2.0/3.0 commands: Ctrl-Ins (copy) and Shift-Ins (paste). (Don't forget Ctrl-Del for cut.)

    Microsoft Word for DOS used Del for Cut and Ins for paste. Having a one-key command for paste makes a lot of sense. (You can customize the keyboard in almost any decent modern word processor.)

    One of the reasons why WordPerfect 5.1 was so popular (aside from the old WordPerfect Corporation's exemplary customer support*) was that you could remap the entire keyboard. You could even reprogram the alphanumeric keys.

    Cttl-V and Ctrl-C were taken from the Mac, where the equivalent commands were issued with the Command key.

    Not that anyone cares, but the Windows 2.0/3.0 command for Cut is Shift-Del, not Ctrl-Del.

    The Windows 1.0 commands were F2 (Copy), Del (Cut), and Ins (Paste). As I said earlier, DOS Word used the same keys for Cut and Paste.

    Oddly, the first three versions of DOS Word did not have a keyboard shortcut for Copy, aside from Esc (Access Menu)-C (Copy).

    Another DOS Word 1.x-3.x oddity was that the menu at the bottom of the screen:

    …was accessed with the Esc key, but dismissed with the Alpha command. Pressing Esc while in the menu did nothing. (The menu could not be hidden.) Also, the program used Tab and Spacebar, not the arrow keys, for menu navigation and selection.

    (Some of these conventions live on in Windows, where Tab and Spacebar are used in dialog boxes.)

    Microsoft’s DOS applications were extremely quirky and awkward. The company’s early Windows apps benefited tremendously from Microsoft’s experience in writing Mac apps.

    They also benefited from Microsoft’s ownership of the operating system. Microsoft apps used undocumented calls to gain better performance and greater stability. (They were still buggy, but not as buggy as some of the crap other companies were dumping on the market.)

    Companies such as WordPerfect and Lotus that ported their best-selling DOS programs to Windows struggled to produce versions that didn’t crash every five minutes.

    In late 1991, the brand-new WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows took 45 seconds to load on a 386/33 – hardly a slow machine at the time. (It was somewhat faster on a top-of-the-line 486.) Any small change involving a printer – such as changing the default paper size – could take upwards of ten minutes, during which the machine was frozen.

    Around the same time, Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows was so sluggish that one reviewer, who usually took 15 minutes to run through the features of a new program, gave up in frustration after it took him two hours to get halfway through his checklist.

    All Windows programs were slow in those days, but not that slow.

    Just how lousy Windows 3.11 and previous versions were has to be remembered. The old Macintosh, with its lack of true multitasking and primitive networking, was actually far more reliable and if you were using the machine for any real work was worth the (not inconsiderable) difference in price. The third party options had serious flaws, too: the Amiga was physically a piece of junk and its video resolution stunk except in the highest end mode: the Atari ST/Falcon had few apps for anything but gaming, and the Acorn RISC which was never seriously marketed in the US had little in the way of productivity apps either. (It did have the superb Sibelius music scoring system, but there is not all that big a market for music scoring.)

    The alternative to any of the above was a workstation. A workstation was a microcomputer that thought it was a minicomputer and brought a minicomputer price, and usually ran Unix. There were no shrink wrapped commercial applications for regular office and business tasks on workstations for several years, and when they were introduced the price was always a lot higher than for the same program on a 'mainstream' platform.

    What changed the game? Two things, NeXT and Linux.

    NeXT, Steve Jobs' startup after getting fired from Apple, showed that you could have the power of a real multitasking multiuser environment and an interface the non-Unix-guru could use effectively and without a steep learning curve. Few people bought them because they were overpriced and underpowered and not marketed to home and small business users, but they showed what could be done.

    Linux didn't do anything commercial Unix machines didn't, but it was free. And it was drastically more reliable than early versions of Windows, even if it was not especially user friendly. That made it a potential threat.

    Microsoft was scared, and they spent the money to make a system that worked and wasn't especially ugly. Windows 95, 98 and 98SE were distinct improvements on the DOS based Windows, and NT4, 2000 and XP finally did away with the DOS underlayer (there is still a command prompt, that uses DOS commands: it isn't an inner layer but a outer shell) and developed into a reliable environment.

    This would never have happened had Microsoft not believed it necessary to cut these interlopers off at the pass.

    Meanwhile, Apple bought NeXT and got Steve Jobs back. It meant the end of NeXT, but much of NeXT became apparent in the new Mac OS X (though not all of it: Mac OS X is a dumbed down version). The Classic Mac OS was simply inadequate in the world of the Internet.

At one point, or maybe still now and then, that was going on between Roissy or one of those guys and some feminist blogger or several of them---- actually Roissy seems to viciously attack average people he somehow comes across online on a regular basis--- and under that impression I assumed your blog was about being a zealous disciple of your guru and the whole business struck me as repugnant. I don't know, the phrase 'a woman's past matters' is provocative I suppose. I just never scrolled your blog at all. We can be friendlier now though if you don't actually worship the devil in that way. I am glad you don't do that, I assumed you must be an omega who despised women, and could only hope to help your PUA brethren in cyber battle, and I even thought to feel sorry for you, that you went out in search of whores because you couldn't enjoy them. It's pretty hilarious altogether, especially now that you're just a regular guy who calls yourself whorefinder lol. Oh man shall I now tell you the time Roissy thought I didn't know who he was when he started his performance and tried to shuck me?

    Ann Coulter relishes inviting her haters more than anyone who's not on talk radio I would say, she would get death threats if anyone in that line did I suppose, and I'm sure she does, though I can't find them on twitter, and I'm sure her email is not public, much less her address, so anyways its hard for me to see how she gets deluged with them. So how is that what you know? I suspect we think people like her get more death threats than they do because they get a lot of hate mail and maybe its one of those things with celebrities where they like to call all hate mail death threats because that's more special, and I suspect not a few of them don't receive any hate mail but will say they receive lots of death threats---you believe women lie like that don't you whorefinder?

    But if EVERYONE with a national profile does get real death threats eventually I would like to know what we know about the folks who tell the least of them they are going to be killed by yours truly, who are these people and how much fun are they having or how insane are they or how much fun is their insanity? Come to think, my father used to be one of the lessers, he was on the evening news a lot and sometimes nightly for a few years when he was executive director of the ACU during the Reagan administration, and trust me when I say there is not a soul on TV today meaner than my father when he is telling you how stupid you are, for I have got the scars to prove it--- but he never got a single death threat, even though its never been uglier than it was during the Bork confirmation that's for sure. So as I say I'm skeptical, and there appears to be a conspicuous absence of data on such a stark social phenomenon. I do suspect there is not a little bit of humble bragging going on when women start talking about how much hate mail and death threats they get, tell you the truth I can't imagine otherwise, and for all of your PUA knowledge of these being, you might be gettin beta fooled bro.

    But all that is really beside the point, because, and note that no one has ever mistaken me for a philo-semite, because it's pretty self-righteous to expect a jew moreover a jewish woman that she not take it "personally" when a bunch of "our guys" tell her we prefer you were a lampshade. Nor can I fathom why she should not act like such a woman---which is bro you want your women feminine or not? And this was not like the celebrity who complains about the attention idiot, this was like the celebrity who complains about the death threats. Like I said, you are being critical of a woman for complaining about a deluge of death threats. Are you saying she should laugh off the attacks you totally support because you just want to joke around with her? Or do you not totally support the attacks and if not then why are you concerned with her reaction?

    Now lets say your right which probably you are and call it hate mail. I think a straight death threat would bother me less than hate mail that mean, because I wouldn't likely believe the death threat but I might wonder if the hate mail was more of a death threat, and that's the type of wonder that makes you wonder more. And the first thing she wondered was who is he who sent them? I suspect she was wondering was he a Nazi.

    Anyways I take it this was her first go around with any such attention, and actually I would have expected more of a reaction from her than I saw after reading that call to arms she penned, but then I don't know any norms of twitter.

    Oh boy, Patty Cuck is trying to cover up not taking his meds last night by vomiting up a bunch of nonsense :

    At one point, or maybe still now and then, that was going on between Roissy or one of those guys and some feminist blogger or several of them—- actually Roissy seems to viciously attack average people he somehow comes across online on a regular basis— .

    What does this word salad even mean? I guess Patty Cuck is upset that Roissy (actually Heartiste) gets into online insult battles with other people who are online–and Heartiste is winning. Patty C. thus is upset that someone on the alt-right is winning.

    especially now that you’re just a regular guy who calls yourself whorefinder lol.

    Everything about me is spectacular, Patty C.

    Oh man shall I now tell you the time Roissy thought I didn’t know who he was when he started his performance and tried to shuck me?

    Of course that happened, Patty C. Of course it did.

    there there.

    *pat pat*

    But if EVERYONE with a national profile does get real death threats eventually I would like to know what we know about the folks who tell the least of them they are going to be killed by yours truly, who are these people and how much fun are they having or how insane are they or how much fun is their insanity?

    I spent five whole minutes trying to parse that mishmash of nonsense. I think because Patty C. missed his prescription last night, he doubled up this morning and this is what happens.

    Come to think, my father used to be one of the lessers, he was on the evening news a lot and sometimes nightly for a few years when he was executive director of the ACU during the Reagan administration, and trust me when I say there is not a soul on TV today meaner than my father when he is telling you how stupid you are, for I have got the scars to prove it— but he never got a single death threat, even though its never been uglier than it was during the Bork confirmation that’s for sure. So as I say I’m skeptical, and there appears to be a conspicuous absence of data on such a stark social phenomenon. I do suspect there is not a little bit of humble bragging going on when women start talking about how much hate mail and death threats they get, tell you the truth I can’t imagine otherwise, and for all of your PUA knowledge of these being, you might be gettin beta fooled bro.

    Your father did not have Facebook, Twitter, email, and his own personal website. One of the blessings of Twitter has been how it momentarily pops the bubbles of Leftist celebrities by people trolling them, and then setting them off. But they also receive a ton more threats/threatening insults to them because they are more connected.

    Don’t be obtuse.

    it’s pretty self-righteous to expect a jew moreover a jewish woman that she not take it “personally” when a bunch of “our guys” tell her we prefer you were a lampshade.

    The Left has only itself to blame for pushing Holocaust Worship/Evil Nazis down everyone’s throat for 70+ years now. Like the term “rape”, the Left has so wildly overused the Nazi trope it’s now a joke, especially since there are no Nazis around. This is the natural, over-the-top, clearly-not-serious reaction to it. And she was never in the Holocaust, her claiming any “personal” insult is laughable. Unless you were an actual Holocaust victim, a Holocaust joke isn’t serious, you’re just overreacting, trying to invoke some Jewish privilege, so wusses like Patty C. white knight for you.

    And this was not like the celebrity who complains about the attention idiot, this was like the celebrity who complains about the death threats.

    This is like a celebrity complaining somebody was mean to them online. Because that’s all it is. Relax, white knight.

    Like I said, you are being critical of a woman for complaining about a deluge of death threats.

    LMAO. Not death threats, she’s overreacting to her fame bringing people don’t like her, like a wuss. If a woman wants to be fame, she doesn’t get to make everyone like her.

    Not death threats, white knight.

    Now lets say your right which probably you are and call it hate mail

    .

    So Patty Cuck goes through an entire white knight rage spiral defending this anti-gentile’s hysteria, and then admits, “Yeah, dude, you’re prolly right.”

    Man, you are slow, boy.

    I suspect she was wondering was he a Nazi.

    lmao. It’s always 1939. Nazis, Nazis everywhere!

    Here’s a list of 7 core Alt-Right beliefs. Let’s see how I do:

    1.) People are different. Human inequality is a fact of life and belief systems that deny this lead to distortion and oppression. Both individuals and populations vary in their characteristics in meaningful ways, such as intelligence and social behavior. One size does not fit all, not comfortably at least.

    Yep

    2.) Our world is tribal.

    Yep

    3.) Our tribe is being suppressed. The new left doctrine of racial struggle in favor of non-whites only, a product of decolonization and the defeat of nationalists by egalitarians after WWII, must be repudiated and Whites must be allowed to take their own side in their affairs. A value system that says Whites are not allowed to have collective interests and literally every other identity group can do so and ought to do so is unacceptable.

    Yep

    4.) Men are not women and women are not men.

    Yep

    5.) Freedom is a responsibility and not a right.

    Yep

    6.) If we must be a democratic society, the franchise should be limited.

    Yep

    The final alt-right sh[**]-test is whether or not someone agrees with the reality that Jewish elites are opposed to our entire program.

    Yep

    Guess this means that I’m Alt-Right

    Spencer is not a fringe 'neo-Nazi'. If he is, then so is Sailer. Stop throwing around epithets designed by the SPLC.

    Also, Bannon didn't use it in the 'normal way'. That's absurd. Breitbart basically serves up Neoconservatism/libertarianism. It isn't alternative in any way. The Alt-Right is a White identity movement. Nothing else.

    Restricting immigration, both legal and illegal, implies that we are favoring whites which is true, but it also implies that we are favoring other ethnic groups based on who gets in. Seeing that there is an unlimited number of people from everywhere other than Europe and Japan who want to come here, there is a very real competition among the ‘others’ so we are favoring who ever else we lean in favor of.

    We have overdosed on Hispanics. Even if we kept immigration levels at where they are but put our thumb on the scale to help Indians (dots not feathers), or South East Asians, that would be completely unacceptable for the poor poor Latinos who are sitting 10 feet on the other side of the border looking to hop across. We should be playing these dirt bags against one another rather than using them to fortify the left. Building a fence / concertina wire / anti-tank ditch along the US-Mex border will help that hugely.

    My two cents is that we should require an environmental impact report every year regarding immigration. What could be more environmentally correct? Want more Somalis? I don’t. Just make sure there is a detailed report showing how it impacts the rest of the country, our quality of life included, and we will be back on the road to having a sane and civil national conversation.

    I can't speak for those I haven't read in the short time since Trump was elected.

    But at FrontPage (run by Jew David Horowitz) all the writers (including the Jew Daniel Greenfield that I mentioned) seem to see themselves as white too.

    They agree with all the points that made Trump a winner (largely a cutback on immigration, including a separation fence) and a distinct distaste for Islam. They do support Israel, but I cannot see a contradiction as they support reduced immigration to the U.S.

    They don't see themselves as a Jewish site and many non-Jews write there also.

    You could check it out yourself.

    They are likely not far from a site like Breitbart.

    BlazingCatFur supports both Israel and an end to mass immigration to Canada (the man who runs the site is not Jewish).

    There are many site in this category.

    As to what fraction of Jews would identify with editorial line at FrontPage, I can't say.

    Another point: many of the Jews who support mass immigration to the US are not particularly interested in Israel, or are outright anti-Israel.

    But that’s part of the problem. In so doing, whether or not it’s sincere, they deny us our own identity. The acid test is whether they accept our undeniable right to exclude them from anything and everything of ours. And that is the one-in-a-million thing that Lyov Myshkin is talking about. One-in-a-million may be an exaggeration, but the number of Jews who accept white rights is minuscule. But, in any event, we are wrong to focus on the beliefs of specific Jews who operate outside he framework of the organized Jewish community.

    I have no idea if this true or not, but the man certainly wasn't Jewish or even particularly interested in them. The francophone/Anglophone debate was the big story in Canada.

    And at the present time, there is no shortage of Gentiles who are all in favour of mass immigration for some reason I can't figure out. I've encountered many of them. They don't seem to even have an opinion on Israel or Jews.

    Since a group of right wing Jews has influenced my waking up to how bad the Left is, I can’t understand why the knee jerk anti-Semites can’t take a more nuanced view.

     

    I take your point and I wanted to ask you, in relation to that point, how many of those right-wing Jews are actually pro-White? Or, at the very least, how many of them would support the idea of the historical populations of the West maintaining their ethnic dominance? How many of them would denounce White people practicing the same ethnocentrism and identity politics that the Jews themselves aggressively pursue?

    In my experience it's literally one in a million -- Jews that support White identity -- although I'm sure you'd find at least a plurality of the anti-semitic set that has no problem with and in fact supports Israel as a Jewish ethno-state.

    Which is more nuanced?

    Replies: @Frau Katze, @SFG, @Frau Katze, @Frau Katze

    The term “white people” is perhaps where we differ. Most Ashkenazi Jews do look white, and if a Jew wants to call him/herself “white,” that’s fine with me.

    Now if I had lived my life in a an area where there were large Jewish minorities (I’m thinking pre-WW II Eastern Europe) I might have a different opinion.

    But since they’re a tiny minority in B.C., Canada, I can’t see them as a threat. There aren’t even enough in all of Canada to bother me.

    So you might say, I just have no experience with the problem.

    But as I mentioned in another comment, the small number of Jews in Canada did not slow the globalist agenda, including mass immigration from very different cultures, at all.

    The point I’m making is even if Jews were prominent in the onset mass immigration in the US, it happened even so in Canada. In summary, the idea that there would not have been mass immigration without Jews, is wrong.

    The West is crawling is crazy Gentile leftists. The emphasis on Jews makes no sense. You have to look at the West as a whole, rather than restrict yourself the US.

    Not that anyone cares, but the Windows 2.0/3.0 command for Cut is Shift-Del, not Ctrl-Del.

    The Windows 1.0 commands were F2 (Copy), Del (Cut), and Ins (Paste). As I said earlier, DOS Word used the same keys for Cut and Paste.

    Oddly, the first three versions of DOS Word did not have a keyboard shortcut for Copy, aside from Esc (Access Menu)-C (Copy).

    Another DOS Word 1.x-3.x oddity was that the menu at the bottom of the screen:
    http://toastytech.com/guis/word115default.png

    ...was accessed with the Esc key, but dismissed with the Alpha command. Pressing Esc while in the menu did nothing. (The menu could not be hidden.) Also, the program used Tab and Spacebar, not the arrow keys, for menu navigation and selection.

    (Some of these conventions live on in Windows, where Tab and Spacebar are used in dialog boxes.)

    Microsoft's DOS applications were extremely quirky and awkward. The company's early Windows apps benefited tremendously from Microsoft's experience in writing Mac apps.

    They also benefited from Microsoft's ownership of the operating system. Microsoft apps used undocumented calls to gain better performance and greater stability. (They were still buggy, but not as buggy as some of the crap other companies were dumping on the market.)

    Companies such as WordPerfect and Lotus that ported their best-selling DOS programs to Windows struggled to produce versions that didn't crash every five minutes.

    In late 1991, the brand-new WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows took 45 seconds to load on a 386/33 - hardly a slow machine at the time. (It was somewhat faster on a top-of-the-line 486.) Any small change involving a printer - such as changing the default paper size - could take upwards of ten minutes, during which the machine was frozen.

    Around the same time, Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows was so sluggish that one reviewer, who usually took 15 minutes to run through the features of a new program, gave up in frustration after it took him two hours to get halfway through his checklist.

    All Windows programs were slow in those days, but not that slow.

    Replies: @Anonymous

    Just how lousy Windows 3.11 and previous versions were has to be remembered. The old Macintosh, with its lack of true multitasking and primitive networking, was actually far more reliable and if you were using the machine for any real work was worth the (not inconsiderable) difference in price. The third party options had serious flaws, too: the Amiga was physically a piece of junk and its video resolution stunk except in the highest end mode: the Atari ST/Falcon had few apps for anything but gaming, and the Acorn RISC which was never seriously marketed in the US had little in the way of productivity apps either. (It did have the superb Sibelius music scoring system, but there is not all that big a market for music scoring.)

    The alternative to any of the above was a workstation. A workstation was a microcomputer that thought it was a minicomputer and brought a minicomputer price, and usually ran Unix. There were no shrink wrapped commercial applications for regular office and business tasks on workstations for several years, and when they were introduced the price was always a lot higher than for the same program on a ‘mainstream’ platform.

    What changed the game? Two things, NeXT and Linux.

    NeXT, Steve Jobs’ startup after getting fired from Apple, showed that you could have the power of a real multitasking multiuser environment and an interface the non-Unix-guru could use effectively and without a steep learning curve. Few people bought them because they were overpriced and underpowered and not marketed to home and small business users, but they showed what could be done.

    Linux didn’t do anything commercial Unix machines didn’t, but it was free. And it was drastically more reliable than early versions of Windows, even if it was not especially user friendly. That made it a potential threat.

    Microsoft was scared, and they spent the money to make a system that worked and wasn’t especially ugly. Windows 95, 98 and 98SE were distinct improvements on the DOS based Windows, and NT4, 2000 and XP finally did away with the DOS underlayer (there is still a command prompt, that uses DOS commands: it isn’t an inner layer but a outer shell) and developed into a reliable environment.

    This would never have happened had Microsoft not believed it necessary to cut these interlopers off at the pass.

    Meanwhile, Apple bought NeXT and got Steve Jobs back. It meant the end of NeXT, but much of NeXT became apparent in the new Mac OS X (though not all of it: Mac OS X is a dumbed down version). The Classic Mac OS was simply inadequate in the world of the Internet.

    More than one in a million. Romney got 30% of the Jewish vote and Trump 20%, so you might go as far as two in three, though I suspect a lot of those were vaguely right-leaning guys who couldn't stomach Hillary, or didn't think Trump would really go after the Jews. A lot of the right-wing intelligentsia didn't like Trump, and a lot of those were Jewish. If I had to guess I'd say 'right-wing Jews' are usually OK with generic white people and terrified of white nationalists.

    The Breitbart crowd actually practices a sort of soft white identity politics. They'll report on crimes by illegal immigrants and Muslims, though of course those aren't races per se. When you get to real white identity politics the Hitler stuff scares a lot of people off, Jewish and otherwise.

    One of the things I've realized over the years is that the mushy middle is actually a pretty vital place politically even if it's flabby intellectually. Soft-pedaling racial appeals gives you just enough deniability to moderate whites to get elected to major offices. If whites are afraid of black crime, you can promise to crack down on crime and put lots of black people in jail, and well, theoretically black people who aren't criminals have nothing to worry about.

  207. While I actually agree the heavily-Jewish MSM has a large portion of the blame, Communism? Really? That stuff’s dead. The modern left is basically capitalist with a large government on top to make sure all the groups, including weird ones like transgenders, get equal portions of the pie (which means white males get screwed because of their superior effort, etc.). They’ve basically made their peace with private industry, they just want to equidistribute every race and gender at equal portions throughout every level of it.

    News flash, Hitler’s been dead longer than communism. P.S., the left in Venezuela seems pretty modern. Imagine the bleating if they were 1/10th fashy, instead of mostly commie.

    I wouldn’t really say Breitbart is neocon (though they do support Israel quite strongly) or libertarian.

    Yeah Neocons have to be pied-pipers leading patriotic Euros down a sewer. Simply supporting Israel, and even a muscular foreign policy, doesn’t cut the mustard if you’re going to give aid and comfort to the enemy (support nationalism and sanity on borders for Euro populations, fair trade, etc.).

    Except for the one time Dave Horowitz went after Bill Kristol, and the MSM hung that around their necks for weeks.

    Yeah, they’re still doing it. It’s funny to me: “you’re an ANTI-SEMITE!!! because you let a Jew call another Jew a renegade Jew!!!” Yeah, sure buddy.

    Sort of like how slaveholders were likely overwhelmingly good Christians toward their compliant slaves, but not so much toward the uppity ones, who probably terrified them.

    The fact people feel the need to debate the meaning of a term is a good way to know it is useless for communication.

    Like, say, “white,” “Jewish,” “race,” etc; all useless for communication.

    Just how lousy Windows 3.11 and previous versions were has to be remembered. The old Macintosh, with its lack of true multitasking and primitive networking, was actually far more reliable and if you were using the machine for any real work was worth the (not inconsiderable) difference in price. The third party options had serious flaws, too: the Amiga was physically a piece of junk and its video resolution stunk except in the highest end mode: the Atari ST/Falcon had few apps for anything but gaming, and the Acorn RISC which was never seriously marketed in the US had little in the way of productivity apps either. (It did have the superb Sibelius music scoring system, but there is not all that big a market for music scoring.)

    The alternative to any of the above was a workstation. A workstation was a microcomputer that thought it was a minicomputer and brought a minicomputer price, and usually ran Unix. There were no shrink wrapped commercial applications for regular office and business tasks on workstations for several years, and when they were introduced the price was always a lot higher than for the same program on a 'mainstream' platform.

    What changed the game? Two things, NeXT and Linux.

    NeXT, Steve Jobs' startup after getting fired from Apple, showed that you could have the power of a real multitasking multiuser environment and an interface the non-Unix-guru could use effectively and without a steep learning curve. Few people bought them because they were overpriced and underpowered and not marketed to home and small business users, but they showed what could be done.

    Linux didn't do anything commercial Unix machines didn't, but it was free. And it was drastically more reliable than early versions of Windows, even if it was not especially user friendly. That made it a potential threat.

    Microsoft was scared, and they spent the money to make a system that worked and wasn't especially ugly. Windows 95, 98 and 98SE were distinct improvements on the DOS based Windows, and NT4, 2000 and XP finally did away with the DOS underlayer (there is still a command prompt, that uses DOS commands: it isn't an inner layer but a outer shell) and developed into a reliable environment.

    This would never have happened had Microsoft not believed it necessary to cut these interlopers off at the pass.

    Meanwhile, Apple bought NeXT and got Steve Jobs back. It meant the end of NeXT, but much of NeXT became apparent in the new Mac OS X (though not all of it: Mac OS X is a dumbed down version). The Classic Mac OS was simply inadequate in the world of the Internet.

    Replies: @Stan Adams

    NeXT was an interesting failure, to be sure.

    I don’t know how many folks own the first issue of Macworld and the first issue of NeXTWorld, but I do know that I’m one of them. Both magazines have Steve Jobs on the cover.

    (Now that they’re available in PDF format online, owning the physical magazines is nothing more than hoarding. But I come from a long, proud line of hoarders, so it’s okay.)

    One thing I forgot to mention. People talk as though Gentiles were powerless puppets of Jews.

    This is ridiculous. In Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau was the driving force behind multiculturalism. And his idiotic son is now our prime minister.

    Trudeau Sr. was part French and part Scottish. I have it heard it said that the 100% French Canadians didn't accept him due to this mixed background. Thus he wanted a whole bunch of other ethnicities to dilute the French and English-speakers.

    I have no idea if this true or not, but the man certainly wasn't Jewish or even particularly interested in them. The francophone/Anglophone debate was the big story in Canada.

    And at the present time, there is no shortage of Gentiles who are all in favour of mass immigration for some reason I can't figure out. I've encountered many of them. They don't seem to even have an opinion on Israel or Jews.

    There are fewer Jews per capita in Canada than the US. They are particularly thin on the ground in western Canada. Yet there are leftist idiots galore out here. You can take that to the bank.

In Canada, immigr/multicult was adapted by a combo of French-Irish-Jewish activists who were resentful of, & wanted to demolish the Anglo & Tory hegemony in certain areas. It was also done to suppress Quebec separatism (read vdare).
    In Australia, it was probably done to curry favor with western elites in Europe, North America. I suspect it was also an Irish-Jewish alliance that agitated for it behind the scenes.

    Here’s a list of 7 core Alt-Right beliefs. Let’s see how I do:


    1.) People are different. Human inequality is a fact of life and belief systems that deny this lead to distortion and oppression. Both individuals and populations vary in their characteristics in meaningful ways, such as intelligence and social behavior. One size does not fit all, not comfortably at least.
     
    Yep

    2.) Our world is tribal.
     
    Yep

    3.) Our tribe is being suppressed. The new left doctrine of racial struggle in favor of non-whites only, a product of decolonization and the defeat of nationalists by egalitarians after WWII, must be repudiated and Whites must be allowed to take their own side in their affairs. A value system that says Whites are not allowed to have collective interests and literally every other identity group can do so and ought to do so is unacceptable.

     

    Yep

    4.) Men are not women and women are not men.

     

    Yep

    5.) Freedom is a responsibility and not a right.
     
    Yep

    6.) If we must be a democratic society, the franchise should be limited.
     
    Yep

    The final alt-right sh[**]-test is whether or not someone agrees with the reality that Jewish elites are opposed to our entire program.
     
    Yep

    Loss of voting rights after being convicted of a felony can easily be extended to loss of voting rights after being convicted of Thought Crime.

    And loss of voting rights after getting divorced? So your wife sleeps with a couple of dozen other men and when you've finally had enough and you get a divorce you lose your right to vote? Or your husband runs off with a floozy half his age and leaves you with the kids and you lose your right to vote?

    The only sensible and safe restriction on the franchise would be to raise the minimum voting age to 25. That's the only method that is not open to abuse, it's totally fair (it would apply to everybody), and it would solve most of our problems. Voting is for grown-ups. 18-year-olds are not grown-ups.

    That is true. Trudeau picked up on the zeitgeist, he didn't operate in a vacuum.

    As to where the zeitgeist came from, that is a huge question, beyond the scope of blog comments.

    The whole multicultural thing has become frankly depressing to me. To research it's exact origin would be a large project. I choose not to spend my time on it.

    You believe that Jews were involved to the extent that without them, it would never have happened?

    My own sense is that WW I was the trigger for anti-Western sentiments (disgust rather than pride in one's society and culture).

    It's bad enough that the entire left is demonizing us, calling us white supremacists and neo-Nazis. But we can't even get our own "side" to agree on what exactly we are.

    We all seem to agree that mass immigration to the point where we become minorities in our countries is no good. We don't want it.

    So the argument over Jews divides us and makes it much harder to articulate a common position and work towards political power.

    Yep, HBD would have to be left out. If you start thinking it through, you eventually conclude there is no way to make it palatable.

    But one thing is clear at the present time: the continuing trend of blaming Jews is a big problem for trying to build a movement that is a respectable alternative to currently accepted conservatism (or right wing, or however you want to define it).
     
    Exactly. If the aim is to create a tiny political grouping that will never be accepted as anything other than a lunatic fringe group then the alt-right is succeeding admirably.

    Truth will always eventually make itself palatable, if only by allowing those who find a particular truth palatable to rise in influence thereby over those who don't. An accurate map of reality is a killer app.

    People should pay a penalty for having poor judgement. If I’m foolish enough to marry a floozy, why should my vote be counted?
     
    That's an interesting idea! But if poor judgment disqualifies one from voting the entire electorate will be about twelve people.

    Quality over quantity.

    You're providing a good example of a troll-baited sucker. Btw your English is excellent for an Asian. よかった!
