    I believe this is one of the clearest and most interesting explanations of the current culture that I've seen.

    Do you actually sit through the whole length of each video that you post?  Because I could not force myself to watch any of these three to completion.  I could literally - yes, literally - fell my brain atrophying.

    Yes sir. I sit through everyone until completion unless I otherwise say so in the post. With the last video, I did 'cheat' a little bit, because it was later at night, I only watched a few minutes of it before posting it before bed.

    It's a tough job, but someone has to do it  :cool.

    Agreed.  Ms. Jaye's video and the talk by Dr. Peterson at the Manning Center are a powerful one-two punch to the prevailing leftist orthodoxy.

    I have not seen "The Red Pill" either - nor have I read Stephen Hicks' book on postmodernism but I think those two oversights are going to be corrected in the near future. 

    Thanks again for posting this stuff.  It has become my daily reminder that the world is a real mess.  In the words of legendary radio host Bob Grant, "Ladies and gentlemen, its sick out there and its getting sicker!"     :coffee

    Thanks coelacanth  :cool. The occasional reminder like this does me good. It's important to shed light on this more sinister side of the political zeitgeist and it isn't always easy to sift through this s___.

    It would have been a bit smarter to include a bit stating that no one would think such a statement amiss if it were applied to any other ethnic group that was in danger of disappearing. 
    As it is what she said will be labeled as racist and while that sort of labeling is almost inevitable if what you're saying irritates the left there isn't anything in the video that would serve as a counter such an attack.    Not that it would stop the snowflakes from going on the attack, but for all the middle-of-the-road people who are only going to know RAS via a small sound bite cherry picked from this clip just to make her look like Adolf.

    Your statement is not incorrect. However I must say that even if she did add in that clarifying caveat, anyone making a sound bite to prove a point would conveniently omit said caveat.

    I agree %100, but at least she'd be able to show the portion placing the statement in context in a rebuttal to such accusations.
    Anything she might film after the fact to rebut any such accusations will just be blown off as trying to backtrack.   

    It's a crying shame that these days one needs to use the caution of a trial lawyer when speaking on social issues  to avoid having one's words maliciously twisted entirely out of context.

    You do have a point...

    As it is what she said will be labeled as racist...   
    But who cares?  I have stopped caring what the left thinks of me.  The truth is the truth, and I am not about to sacrifice it for the feelings or opinions of the sheep.  If the Truth is 'racist' to them, then let them call me a racist and I will wear the title with pride.  And the Truth?  Let's be honest, if a population reproduces at sub-replacement levels, that population is going to go extinct.  Even more so if they invite in foreigners who breed like the figurative rabbits.  That's not racism, that is math.

    Oh, but why should anyone care?  People are people, all the same on the inside...  Horses___.  People are like dogs.  Big ones, little ones, fast ones, smart ones, and so on.  People are not just like Labs, where outside of Chocolate, Golden, and Black they are all the same.  No, we are very diverse, both inside and out.


    As it is, the term 'racist' has been stretched to the point where it includes words, deeds, and thoughts having nothing to do with race.  Just like the concept of 'rape,' it has been made to take on whatever meaning the libtards need it for at the time, and thus the value and potency of the word is diminished in the eyes of regular people.

    The white race is always confusing to me. It seems to be more of a cultural idea than an actual biological or genetic term. There is a pretty large variance in European descent.

    I do not really care if the 'white race' ceases to exist. What I do not want to see happen is the ideas from that culture to die. The ideas that have emerged on governance and society are the greatest humanity has created so far. Millions of humans have died in the grand experiments to craft solid ideals for governments.

    This is the first time in history where there is a group of people that COULD crush the rest of the world and make every human bend the knee to their country. That has not done so. Few people would argue that the western countries could absolutely rule the globe through pure military power. IF we were like every other civilization in time. Then we would rally our troops and prep the nukes to expand our empire, but we do not.

    If you cannot see the virtue in a society that has all the power, but chooses not to wield it against other civilizations. Then you are truly lost.

     But who cares?  I have stopped caring what the left thinks of me.  The truth is the truth, and I am not about to sacrifice it for the feelings or opinions of the sheep.

    I'm not concerned with the left's opinions of me either.
    My concern is for the damage they do to those that don't know any better through the lies they weave from such statements.   Someone who after seeing this video in it's entirety and seeing the valid points made and as a result started to question or resist the stream of lies and half truths the progressives serve up to the world may not have that realization if they only see a snippet where the term "white race"  is spun to make all appear as a white supremacist  speech, an intentional misrepresentation made more difficult to refute due to the lack of having explicitly set the context in the original video.

    Outside of understanding the left well enough to anticipate and counter them I couldn't care less about what they think.
    Who I do care about are all the people out there that haven't been paying attention and who haven't cast their lot in on either side yet.   At the end of the day it would be far better that they view favorably as reasonable and bigoted those who oppose the progressives than to have them erroneously lump people like RAS in with white supremacists.  If they are, as you say, sheep it would be much better if they were inclined to follow us rather than to support the progressives.
    On a totally pragmatic level, some day someone may end up in court an those "sheep" will be filling the jury box.  Which way to you want them to view this issue?

    There are a couple of things to work through here as a society:

    1. Why has the political spectrum now gotten where white=bad, yet specifically racial collective groups such as black lives matter are promoted and obviously racist?

    2. It doesn't matter what race we are talking about, "bean pole" families are problematic in modern society (and they are a topic in modern publications, right up there with sitting too long and drinking soft drinks). Not to state the obvious, but reproduction is necessary for our species to continue and in the same way that genders and countries are cherished and celebrated for their differences, it really would be nice to not have a race go extinct (whether it is the black, white, or naïve American race... Races losing their identity or going completely extinct is not an agreeable outcome. After all, diversity is cool, kids  :cool).

    Yep.  My opinion is that just as 'African' is the catch-all term for the continent of Africa, 'White' is the general term for decendants of European nations.  We just don't live there any more.  Europe (for now) Australia, and every North or South American country, to varying degrees, are inhabited by European stock.  Inside of 'European,' (just like inside of 'African') there are many, many variations.  The simplest breakdowns are the Slavic, Germanic, Mediterranean, etc, etc. peoples.  Unlike most Africans in Africa, the European peoples (especially outside of Europe) have heavily interbred over the past few centuries, making it difficult to assign most people any label past generic 'white.'


    This is the first time in history where there is a group of people that COULD crush the rest of the world and make every human bend the knee to their country. That has not done so. Few people would argue that the western countries could absolutely rule the globe through pure military power. IF we were like every other civilization in time. Then we would rally our troops and prep the nukes to expand our empire, but we do not.

    If you cannot see the virtue in a society that has all the power, but chooses not to wield it against other civilizations. Then you are truly lost.   
    You can probably explain it better than I can, but the civilization of Europe comes from centuries of being steeped (at least nominally) in the moral teachings of the various forms of Christianity.  The fact that they legislated morality to the 'heathens' that they conquered, and let them simmer in it for 1000 years.  Before the introduction of Christianity, the peoples of Europe were... Not nice.  Certainly not all that different from the native American civilizations that existed pre-1500.  Cruel, barbaric, and nasty.

    Then they were 'Christianized,' once again, nominally, usually by their leader being baptized or whatever practice was observed.  They were still rough people, but the centuries saw them grow largely more civilized - if not less violent - while especially in Britain the concept of the king's absolute power was questioned and curbed.  The rights of Man were made to be of increasing importance until the late 1700s when a bunch of WASP men threw off the yoke of a king (an institution that had been viewed as blessed by Christianity) and form a constitutional republic.  The United States.

    In the two centuries that have followed, almost every European country has thrown out or neutered their King's powers, and taken the powers to themselves. (Liechtenstein and Monaco being the two tiny exceptions)

    Combined with an understandable aversion to and fear of real war, brought upon them by the two world wars, and the bread-and-circuses politics that a democracy enables...  That, in my opinion, is why Europe is so 'civilized' and weak.  They feel that they have nothing to gain, and everything to lose, from being aggressive and protectionist.

    So...  Now the tough question is whether non-Europeans could have done the same thing...  Back in the 1790s, would anything but a homogenous WASP society have come up with the US Constitution.  No.  Hell no.  We barely got what we got in the first place, never mind with less civilized and more diverse opinions.  It is not that non-American non-whites do not want a peaceful form of self government...  They just are not receptive to it - they are not wired that way.  It took Eurpoeans a millennia of cultural evolution to be ready, so why do we delude ourselves that everyone else can just cut the line?

    These days even most non-white countries use a form of nominally representative government.  Many of those were introduced by the evil colonial overlords, but even among those, show me one where the government functions as efficiently, as humanely or as fairly as those in Europe.


    Which brings us back to the European immigrants, refugees, invaders:  If we think that allowing them to rush in unchecked is going to work... if we are that stupid... then we get what we deserve.  Not only will the immigrants not adopt western forms of life, I would argue that unless they are forced to...  They can not.

    Indeed.  I do not consider myself a white supremacist, because I do not view the white race as 'supreme,' or superior.  But it is different on the inside, as are all the other ones.  If the white race were dogs, what kind would they be?  Same question for Blacks?  Asians?  Answers may vary, but the fact is, you were thinking of three different kinds of dogs when you read the questions.  My point exactly. ;)

    I am a 3rd generation (half) Czech. My family originated here as indentured servants after the civil war.

    I don't believe in a superior race, but after trying Chinese food and Italian, I definitely know it's not the Czech's at the top of the food chain  :neener.

    Btw, now that it's summer and I have time to cook, I had been planning to have the audacity to ask you for any Italian based recipes you might part with  :-[. You have previously stated you enjoy high quality food and I thought I could get some pointers  ;).

    Do we forget that cops were primarily still using 6 Shot Revolvers well through the mid 80's? It wasn't until after 1986 that most departments then relented and went to autos.
    Capacity wasn't really an issue then... and honestly really it's not even an issue now.

    Teaching your own students is racist, disagreeing with the status quo is racist, and having the wrong opinion is dangerous.

    Bohemian or Moravian?  And which civil war are we talking about?  The communist coup?

    You are making my point.  No, not every nation (different from country) excels at everything.  Ever notice how the top sprinters have a tendency to be from Jamaica and the Carribean?  And the top marathoners are usually from Kenya?  Czechs may not be inclined to cook - I really don't know - but neither are the British, and that is a fact. ;)  But the British do excel at being thorough in their dealings, careful, and extremely well-mannered.  As the population of Britain... evolves... :vomit It may come to be that they are known for other qualities.  That could be argued that it is a cultural, not racial trait, (using racial to mean the whole people, not just the skin color) but I would counter that a people make their culture just as much as it makes them.  Change a population over to one that is incompatible with the local culture, and...  Surprise, surprise... the culture will not long stand.

    Moravia, IIRC. We got here after the American civil war, later we helped fight WII.

    Czech cooking is good, at least the way grandma always made it, it was. I just prefer Italian food. Even if I'm 95% sure all I've ever had of it is butchered pseudo Americanised "Italian" food.
