Thanks, I was hoping something different would be successful and thus far it is not doing well, but fortunately it is not currently topical so it has time to grow lol
Very good article I thoroughly enjoyed it, his quote on race is succinct. Superior or inferior is not really the matter but that people are different eventually leads to the conclusion that advocating for your own race is not necessarily an act of hatred. I love that he’s anti-Semitic as well and would certainly enjoy his company and home-brew
I actually wanted to comment on this more and hadn't got around to it. I've been in this argument before and people just think I'm an autist and can barely understand, but it isn't obvious what would make one race superior and one race inferior.
The people who talk like this commonly cite IQ and impulse control, the data on IQ is really questionable and I don't know if the data on impulse control even exists, but I don't see how those two things would be what makes one race better and one race worse regardless.
It is true that black people have superior resistance to skin cancer and malaria [though are prone to sickle cell anemia] while white people can get necessary vitamin D more easily and also have a superior tolerance to lactose.
these are, of course, nonsense traits on which to decide if one race is better and another is worse, but regardless, they're measurable.
As harshly as he described it, I do believe there's an extremely strong point in "who am I to say what makes a race better or worse"
Exactly, the suggestion of superiority is nonsensical and rather arbitrary. If someone else’s child proves themselves somehow more intelligent than mine do I for some reason start caring more for them than my own? People care for what is theirs because it’s biologically inherent.
If your New Right and the New Left find that they share a class consciousness, opposition to the power of financial interests, traditional values, an anti-war nationalism, and healthy practices we will be unstoppable. Avoiding labels and sharing principles, looking UP at the problem and DOWN to each other for solutions, not to the left or right, gives our overlords the willies. They are already priming for the torches and pitchforks, as evidenced by media warping of language, dire think-tank predictions, and ratcheting up militaristic and technocratic population control mechanisms. There are hilarious and brilliant post duopoly exiles like Corbett Reports, Due Dissidence, Bad Hasbara, Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, and numerous others, who savagely critique the liberals from a different starting place. We’re almost there.
“The way the world works is independent of ideology.” That’s why it’s important to build a library of facts, upon which one can build an analysis, said Julian Assange.
Cobbett is a fascinating character, and I look forward to Pt. 2. I just love the idea of being a smart doggie, “bite the hand, not the stick.” That’s worth remembering.
I’m hoping for an alliance of so-called left and right who will defend us all against the murderous psychopaths leading us to ruin. The People Unite and all that….
This was a fun read

yeah I almost didn't include that in the opening quote then happened to look further down
And yeah plenty of the people I get along with and like are of the more independent left wing variety
