Aisling Murphy was a lovely 23 year old who was brutally murdered by a 31 year old Slovakian Gypsy while out running in Ireland in January of 2022.
He is a father of five who had been living in Ireland and collecting welfare and disability despite being in perfect health.
The papers at the time of her murder reported the police line that she had been strangled. It emerged during the trial that she had been stabbed multiple times and had died screaming in terror. The media never corrected their initial story.
The trial just concluded with a guilty verdict last week and really primed the pump for this rioting.
Things are really on the boil.
The only thing worse than the despicable Irish political class is the execrable Irish journalist class.
Another great essay- time for me to start paying my fair share.
This is partially true. In places where there isn’t much in the way of police, criminals are often dealt to in very violent ways. Part of the reason the penal system exists is to stop vigilantism.
Progressives seem to think that if they stop punishing people that those people won’t receive any punishment, when really it just comes later and is much worse.
The perfect example is the parent who won’t discipline their children. The child never escapes discipline, it just ruins their life when it eventually comes. The same thing will happen with the lax policing and sentencing the progressives push for. If the state won’t exercise it’s monopoly on the right to use violence, eventually the citizenry will be forced to take it back.
This is correct, and not only in Ireland. If the authorities refuse to do their job, others will, rather more decisively. And they will become the new authorities.
The girl, her boyfriend, his brother and two half-brother set a trap for the taxi-driver that had raped her (him being a non-western migrant, to the surprise of no-one), hanging him from a bird-watcher's tower where he hung for a week before the boday was found.
However, being not all that bright they also stole his wallet and phone and emptied his accounts, and the girl posted on social media that "my rapist is dead, tihihi".
One of them received life in prison for this, due to his age and to him having several previous convictions for narcotics-related crimes and violently resisting arrests. The others received between a few months to three years of juvenile detention (essentially youth prison).
Odds are, they'll get violently abused in there, or even murdered since almost all prisoners in Sweden are non-western migrants or of such origin.
I'm guessing the reason for no-one seeing this as some kind of fight-back against non-western migrants committing crimes is the backgrounds of the youths involved - low-key WT-people with no real political conviction, knowledge or affiliation, only interested in booze and drugs and petty crime.
Whether that is true or not I don't know and since several of the involved parties are minors, the court proceedings are partly classified.
Odds are, this will go to higher court and the sentences may be partially commuted - but if it gets political, the reverse is likely to happen.
Thanks for the update on this. Can't say I'm surprised they threw the book at them.
Honestly, I think the Swedish right is being a bit overprincipled by not turning them into folk heroes. Who cares if they're plebs who did it for personal rather than political reasons? Makes it more visceral. Who cares that they helped themselves to the rapist's belongings? Law of the jungle, that.
White Trash. The term has made great inroads in Sweden that last ten-ish years or so, especially among the far left (our far left, that is) and the libertarian/upper class where it intersects with "alt-right" people.
Or in other words, classic Von Oben-attitudes of the nouveau riche towards common people.
This is true in all globalist-corrupted western nations. We see it here in Canada and in the USA. People ARE starting to adopt a vigilante attitude: we have no other choice. I’d rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
Discipline or beating? Because the latter is not the former, and to the degree the latter is employed in purported pursuit of the former, the farther from the path of discipline you have wandered, and the further down the road to creating your own personal Hamas you have travelled (that is: someone instructed in violence seeking to eradicate its originator).
My very complex needs (severely autistic, developmental delay, allergies, OCD, etc) stepson is a two-person containment risk, and when he melts down, strength and agility are essential to the task. However, if those are the only criteria for choosing support staff there will be constant daily meltdowns, violence violence violence. If the support teams also have three more qualities: empathy, strong communication skills, & strong working knowledge of autism (becoming client specific over time), meltdowns may occur once every month or two.
Violent men are all too eager to claim more violent men are the answer to violent men. The problem is that only rarely is that truly needed; however, once commenced, it is too late for the other solutions to save those upon whom the violent men act.
Nobody but latent authoritarians want a king, and then only one in their own image.
Also: let’s not forget the Irish were as good at running slave raids as anyone. The Roman Empire was stretched too thin and the indomitable Irish were feared raiders. Where do you think Saint Patrick came from?
“How The Irish Saved Western Civilization” is a great little read.
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
So, I agree we need a different way. And so far all the ways chosen by men with guns, have brought us here. Like I say, men with guns always want to participate too soon.
I sure don’t look to accelerationism.
If we were living in northern Gaza on Oct 8 we would be there still, or dead. Families w major disabilities go first when systems collapse.
Have you done a cost-analysis of what such care for a severly autistic human is?
Ideas of rights, -isms and whatnot doesn't enter into it, because they do nothing to mitigate real costs.
24/7 care means at least three full-time employees, probably more than that (weekends, sick leave, et c). That's three adults, and by what you list as "truly needed" you want people with skills and traits you don't get for minimum wage.
Since I don't know wages in Ireland or Britain, I'll not use any numbers but consider this: the autistic produces nothing. That human's economical effect will be an ever-increasing net-negative during his/her's lifetime. The three full-time caretakers are all also a net cost, since caring for someone who can't produce so they can pay for their own care isn't productive either.
Odds are, you're looking at an average net loss equaling a year's average pay, every month. That means that those resources used up cannot be used for others, or for lowered taxes.
Since I know it's very easy to read the above the wrong way I'm putting in a caveat here: the above is the way it is, no matter anyone's opinion. It is not an endorsement for any specific policy: it is simply something that must be considered and solved.
You are absolutely correct. The community or state take on the burden and tax the citizenry, so we as a civilization must decide: support all similarly challenged individuals to the greatest degree possible? Warehouse them efficiently with little regard for quality of life? Or sacrifice all runts?
Some argue the worth of a civilization is revealed in precisely this choice.
And as it is technologically possible for everyone on the planet to enjoy a basic middle class lifestyle, we *can* go with option 1 part and parcel. We just seem to prefer to worship billionaires.
Technologically possible is debatable, since we are not all equal as human cultures. Look at Ethiopia: there's land a-plenty and the nation needn't ever have suffered the famines it became synonymous with in the1980s.
But the communistic regime let party officials confiscate well-tended and profitable lands and farms, making it pointless for anyone to grow more than they themselves needed, ensuring any disruption would result in starvation.
Also, foreign aid ensured the regime could remain in power, keep the people down and even "tax" refugee and expat ehtiopians by holding their kin hostage in the homeland, since the regime completely lacks incentive to change.
Now compare it to Norway, which was a dirt-poor barely industrialised nation during the 19th century and who went from this state to one of the most prosperous, peaceful, least crime-ridden and most high-trust societies inside two generations after gaining independence in 1905.
Point being, each people must develop along its own cultural path, thereby being able to by itself determine what and how to solve problems (and decide what is a problem in the first place) if it is to achieve post-scarcity levels of production/distribution. Imposing a cookie-cutter model or ideology, be it neo-liberalism or corporate capitalism or communism, doesn't work for that very reason: ideologies are culturally coded to start with.
I cannot recommend Francis Fukuyama's works on this topic enough, not just because of his learning but becasue he has shown himself willing and capable to change his position when reality doesn't act according to theory.
Jeremy, you and Rikard have raised some very interesting and difficult questions, to which I freely admit I do not have answers. But here's a thought...
If the rise in autism, allergies and the other tribulations troubling your stepson are in fact vaccine injuries, how about the billionaires in the pharmaceutical industry be held liable for his lifetime care?
We might see a very rapid decline in such disabilities if the concept of Responsibility was seriously revisited in these the late stages of our civilization.
> And as it is technologically possible for everyone on the planet to enjoy a basic middle class lifestyle, we *can* go with option 1 part and parcel. We just seem to prefer to worship billionaires.
True, in a sense option one is in fact technologically possible. However, the only reason society is capable of reaching and maintaining that level of technology is due to the incentives inherent in capitalism, what you derisively dismissed as "worshiping billionaires".
You don’t know whether this particular autistic, or another kid with some other issue, or anyone else for that matter, will “produce nothing.” Sometimes the odds are going to be higher, sometimes lower, but you really can’t know that with certainty. What you can be certain of, is that the odds that a child with a developmental disability will “produce nothing” are much higher, when that child (and its caregivers) don’t have the resources to grow up to its maximum potential.
Sadly, you're wrong. In an older world where most labour was done manually, even severly autistic people could be given simple manual jobs and could provide if not a lot so at least some kind of contribution to the farm's economy.
For the past century or so, that isn't the cae any longer and today an autistic will compete with a lot of normal humans for what low-income low-requirement jobs there are.
Furthermore, consider what I pointed out: the amount of care and time (i.e. cost) required. That cost will never be recouped, it remains a net loss economically speaking, no matter if you manage to train the autistic to stack shelves in a supermarket or not.
Yes, I do know most people who are born retarded or with other disabilities and handicaps will be a net cost to their family or soceity, that's such a basic fact it can't really be debated. Autistics especially are severly impacted by today's extreme focus on personality and sociability over actual skill, dilligence and getting the job done. An employer simple cannot spare the resources it takes to make a profitable labourer out of an autistic of the kind initially described - especially not when said employer can simply hire someone /without/ those problems. It's not any queerer than that a man with two functioning legs will always beat a one-legged one in a race.
The able autistic is largely a myth, enforced by Hollywood and people who feel better if they in contravention to fact and reality see the disabled, retarded and handicapped as equally abled of only society would make it so. The vast majority of them are mentally retarded with low IQ and low tolerance for stress, add to that hypersensitivity and anxiety disorders cause by their inability to comprehend social interactions on insitinct. A tiny percentage are HFAs (or "Aspies") and it is from that group media and sadly many educators have chosen to creat "the able autistic". While HFAs can be very intelligent in their limited way, they are still socially impaired and have to use their rather mechanistic intelligence to compensate their disabilities, something which causes great emotional stress and anxiety their entire lives.
You see, I used to be a teacher, and have taught and trained HFAs for about 25 years, on and off, of all ages from early teens to young adults. Here in Sweden, unemployment among autistics is close to 85% - that includes the HFAs. It's not discrimination, it's that they simply can't compete: they aren't adaptable enough, they are too specialised, and they have meltdowns and frequently need sick leave, and few can take working full time or the rat-eat-rat mentality of having a career.
It's not a question of -isms, as I initially mentioned: it's sadly and simply the way it is, economically speaking.
Rationally discussing things in a civilized manner is itself a skill that must be learned and accepted. And that, by definition, cannot be done via rational discussion.
Violence works a heck of a lot more than you seem to think it does. I seldom see it escalate. Usually a strong violent rebuttal to violence ends it. What the US does is a tit for tat violence. That is really bad. Someone kills 10 people needlessly. The US kills 10 back. That’s dumb. You want to win. Not ‘get back at them’. I was a little guy in a very tough neighbourhood. 80 pounds in Grade 8. A bully was harassing me for months at lunch. He was two years older than me and normal size for his age. He would grab my milk carton and poke four or five holes in it with his pencil. My milk would stream out from each hole. I would get milky and have to cover the holes with my fingers and gulp it down. He would laugh and insult me. I had had enough so he did it one day and I poured it all over him. From across a lunch room table. He was going to fight me so I ran around the table and fought him. Before I could lose too badly it was broken up by teachers. The after school fighting arena was the church yard nearby. Every day the church yard would be where the days scraps were settled. ‘After school, William. At the church.’ He outweighed me by probably 50 pounds. A totally unfair fight. Everyone said I should not go. It was not a fair fight. I knew it would not end until I fought him. I did okay. Not a win, but close enough my friends were saying I beat him. Which wasn’t true. I remember saying ‘if that is a win I am sure glad I didn’t lose’. Did that end everything? Probably not. But a buddy of mine, one of the tough guys in the area, Golden Gloves champ, who had tried to talk me out of fighting but who had respected my decision said ‘okay. Well done. I am proud of you. Now it’s my turn’. My bully said ‘I don’t have a problem with you Terry.’ Terry said ‘yeah but I have one with you’. And beat him real bad. And the guy never bugged me ever again. Ever.
I recommend a reading of "Turtles All the Way Down" (not the children's story but the book available from RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense) and a perusal of AMidwesternDoctor on Substack with attention to essays on immunisation from fall, 2022.
I'm not really sure what the point you were making is. I'm not advocating violence, I'm saying that as discipline is inevitable, and the refusal to exercise it doesn't make it go away, it postpones it and makes it heavier when it eventually comes.
Your autistic stepson probably needs to be constantly regulated with a light touch, but if you get tired and let things slide then things will get out of hand and there will be a big, traumatic drama before his behaviour is re-regulated. I'm not saying that drama is a good thing, I'm saying it's inevitable. Your choice isn't whether or not you want to deal with his behaviour, it's the level at which you want to intervene.
Correct, he is not. In fact he is not a violent person. The meltdowns happen to him, he has no agency, he is as traumatized by what is unfolding as anyone. You can’t imagine it, it’s like nothing you’ve seen.
My point was that employing only the last resort (physical containment capable staff) will result in terrible quality of life for my stepson and constant meltdowns. The corollary for society is that the men with guns are mostly not needed, should be avoided as long as possible; but instead they are unleashed far, far too often.
I say again, violent young men are poorly socialized. I come from a family of educators and education-adjacent, and have a retired schoolteacher partner who spent the last half of her career in kindergarten. She probably knows more about five-year-olds than anyone you’ve met; she’s encountered every kind of personality, just as it is first confronting and engaging with the world. Her job was to lead these kids to cooperate with and value each other (o and curriculum cuz the little workers need their math, cram it in early- NOT! Her play-based-learning classroom always was the best behaved class (just ask the gym teacher and librarian!) and gets the best report card metrics without focusing on curriculum. Once kids learn how to cooperate and get the best out of school, they generally do).
> I say again, violent young men are poorly socialized.
I.e., they weren't spanked enough.
In any case, if people rationally believe violence will get them what they want, they will use it. The expected punishment is a major factor in that calculation.
> I come from a family of educators and education-adjacent, and have a retired schoolteacher partner who spent the last half of her career in kindergarten. She probably knows more about five-year-olds than anyone you’ve met
Given the abysmal performance of our schools, I rather doubt that. Compare our current education system with that from as late a the 1920s. People left after middle school having learned more than most college students today.
You imprison someone for stealing a TV NOT because the TV is so important. But because it is necessary to draw a line that cannot be crossed. Going into someone’s home is one such line. I hope Conor takes over.
So he is a slovakian gypsy. Therefore totally legal immigrant. But do we honestly believe that a gypsy like this is welcomed back happily to slovakia? Bad people are not welcomed in any community.
True, but he likely wouldn’t have chosen to settle in Ireland if they didn’t offer the most generous welfare benefits in the EU. They’re total pushovers.
The Algerian who slit the throat of the five year old girl was due to be deported in ‘05, but appealed and was given an Irish passport.
He was arrested and charged with carrying a knife a few years ago, but the charges were dropped for some reason.
There’s an ominous silence on the condition of the poor child that was most seriously injured.
It is inexplicable the authorities allow violent non citizens to stay in the country. Do they want is to go all vigilante so they can impose martial law? Is that a possibility?
People on welfare, single people, should have to go to the welfare employment office and check in every morning at 8 am to see if any day work is needed that day. Employers can show up and aay ‘I need three labourers for a two days’, etc. if they don’t show up they are kicked ofd welfare.
Damn. You and MacGregor both make me want to reclaim my heritage - and not by drinking Guinness. I’ve been saying it awhile now, the snapback is going to be worse. To quote a friend of mine from Appalachia - “The folks in government need to realize that historically... like, for all of human history, white people don’t lose wars of survival.”
Historically, white people don't lose wars, more or less period. But then, this is why they've put so much effort into defeating us psychologically and emotionally, demoralizing us and turning us against ourselves, while poisoning our bodies in a hundred different ways. The hard kill was impossible, so they went for the soft kill.
But I cannot imagine a better motivator to clean up the diet, knock off the seed oils, porn and computer games and go to the gym than an all out existential crisis. I have always felt this whole shit show will either sink us or trigger a renaissance.
Yes, I agree. And I believe we're seeing the first shoots of spring already. Those choosing death are sinking into the mud. Those choosing life are becoming ever more vital.
I feel it in myself. I see it in others too. I am also seeing people's terminology changing in private. Less polite terms used for what we are seeing around us. That is a shift.
Ayup. I believe we are in violent agreement, John.
A LOT of my former colleagues and the current generation in the All Volunteer Force are, however, getting their eyes opened rather wide. We are headed for some very interesting times, indeed.
Letting loose the dogs of war is very dangerous to the losers. When you lose a war, it is a disaster. When the crusaders lost the wars in the Holy Land, the Muslim slave markets were flooded with European stock. Going back in time, arguably the crusades themselves were a military response to Muslim invasion. On another front, the Mongols almost wiped out Europe. The European Knights were no match for the Mongolian hordes and their tactics; they just happened to lose momentum at the right time.
The Mongols are probably the one example where Europe got very lucky. The Arabs, for all their depredations before and after the crusades, never succeeded in conquering Europe.
I’ve read a variety of analyses of why the Mongols couldn’t complete their conquest. Like others, I used to believe that Europe got “lucky” when the great Khan died and the hordes abandoned the endeavor because that was the consensus narrative. I’ve since read some more detailed studies, however, that strongly suggest two other critical factors were at play: the castle system and the muddy terrain due to Spring rains. Both of those bogged the Mongols down and rendered their tactics all but useless. Could they have besieged all of those thousands of castles and starved Europe to its knees? Maybe. But maybe not. The soft, muddy, and forested terrain of western Europe isn’t the steppes of the East. It may well be that the abandonment of the effort to return to matters back home provided a convenient excuse to not get into siege warfare with the Euros.
That sounds quite plausible. The Saxon system of burhs, which ultimately developed into castles, was an adaptation to Viking raids that proved very successful. The Dane did not enjoy siege warfare. It makes perfect sense that the Mongols would be equally unenthusiastic upon finding that the Eurasian peninsula they intended to conquer was wet, mountainous, difficult to traverse by horse, covered in castles, and populated by a professional warrior aristocracy that had been sharpening its teeth on itself for several centuries.
Europe is also laced with rivers which add a dimension to warfare that would have been largely foreign to the hordes. i.e. How many boats did the Mongols have? How well prepared were they to defend against those kinds of tactics? Were they going to put their own horses on captured boats and float them in response? Who would pilot the boats? etc, etc.
They got as far as Vienna and the March River IIRC, but that's it. The Croatian mountains caused a lot of problems for the Horde en route. They captured Poland, and made a mess in Croatia, but by then they had started taking heavier losses as they moved westward into Austria. I think the narrative that Europe was "lucky" that the Horde turned back voluntarily is largely some self-loathing, ahistorical, academic bullshit. The Mongols were not Super Warriors - they were simply ruthless in a way that Christendom no longer was because chivalry had by then taken hold. Hell - the Chinese kept them at bay for centuries with the Great Wall. (Which, when one sees it up close, isn't hard to understand. It's like a giant long castle wall set at the top of steep, massive ridgelines that today uses ski lifts to take tourists up to the top of.) Indeed, the Great Wall is exactly why the Horde went west into Russia, rather than sacking China. The Great Wall is likely the first ever large-scale immigration restriction to preserve the Han culture and keep out those "icky" Mongols.
Certainly the Mongols were not seafarers. Their two disastrous invasions of Japan demonstrated that. To be fair, the second was wiped out by the Kamikaze. But the first did make landfall ... and they got cut to pieces in the mountains of Honshu by the samurai.
Another factor is weapons technology. Light horse cavalry armed with small compound bows are deadly against conscript peasant armies lacking discipline and armor. Against European heavy cavalry in armored plate? In an environment where withdrawing is made difficult by rivers and forests? I'm skeptical. A similar story with the samurai, for that matter.
Another aspect is physique. The Mongols were larger and stronger than the Han, and probably most other peoples they encountered. The European knight, raised on a diet of meat and milk and trained from boyhood in weapons and tactics, was a different story altogether.
Good points. Relatedly, the crusader castle system was a major problem for the Saracens. Had the crusaders played the hand differently at key campaigns and time points, they may have succeeded.
Indeed. From what I've read, the crusaders' main enemy were themselves. Much of what led to their ultimate defeat were a series of unforced errors, infighting, etc.
They took back quite a bit of what they had lost, e.g. all of the Iberian peninsula, and parts of the Holy Land. It wasn't entirely successful, but had it not been for the Reconquista, the world would look very different today.
Wouldn’t a simpler explanation be that 10,000 Mongols arrive, have a battle, and 9800 remain. Next battle, a great Mongol victory, but 9600 remain. And so on. At some point, the maimed remainder say ‘am I the only one not having any fun?’ Plus, can you imagine being on the road for many years?
LOL, historically, white people were the first to innovate military technology and military science. *It's a little bit difficult to lose a war when you have a gun and the other guy doesn't.* ;) After all, was China ever colonized? Yes they had a Century of Shame, but where they actually colonized? :)
And I would be interested to know how is that statement on white people not losing wars derived. I mean, what kinds of wars are included here? Are the wars the "white people" waged against "brown people from Middle East" admissible? Because if they are, oh boy, it's actually the other way around! White people fought long and hard against brown Ottomans but did they win? On the scale of a thousand years yes, but is that the proper scale for measuring this? Perhaps you're only including the wars English fought against other skin colors, and yes in that case you could say they "didn't lose".
Remind me when the Ottomans conquered Europe, again. Versus say, when the Europeans carved up the Ottoman empire.
As to China, they were absolutely colonized. Look at their fashion. Look at their ideology. All derived from Europe.
Firearms helped but were hardly the whole story. The Greeks didn't have firearms when the Persians failed to conquer them, nor did they have firearms when they dismembered the Persian empire.
> Remind me when the Ottomans conquered Europe, again. Versus say, when the Europeans carved up the Ottoman empire.
Okay, so you're taking the position that the appropriate time horizon is over 600 years. Personally, I'd take the position the comparison is inadmissible as Turks are white. I mean, can you realistically look at Erdogan and tell me he's "brown"? xD But, back to the 600 year time horizon. That would imply it's invalid to pass judgement on a thing unless at least 600 years have passed. Yet no West European colony is that old. Therefore, any judgement on West European's "conquests" are invalid for at least one more century. The century, I might add, that West Europe might not survive.
Obviously you're now going to require that Ottomans conquer entire Europe - as if conquest of that scale is even desireable to begin with - to be admissible as evidence. And you're going to point out that Westerners tore up the Empire - ignoring the fact Turkyie is independent - as evidence. But you'll completely miss both the relative geographic scales as well as relative temporal scales.
> The Greeks didn't have firearms when the Persians failed to conquer them, nor did they have firearms when they dismembered the Persian empire.
This is likewise suffering from a mismatch of scales. The Greeks did dismember the Persian empire but how long did that last? And Ottomans did eventually dismantle Greece, but how long did that last? Apples to apples, oranges to oranges.
> As to China, they were absolutely colonized. Look at their fashion. Look at their ideology. All derived from Europe.
That's not what I had in mind, really. India was colonized, clearly, China wasn't, again clearly.
Turks are both White and not, depending on which part of the country. Some are basically Greek. The ones in the west are not.
Fact is, Europe has never been conquered by non- Europeans. Large parts of the world have been conquered by Europeans, and often relatively small numbers of them. Sometimes fast, sometimes it takes longer. But generally speaking Europeans win, and this has been the case for thousands of years. No one has yet matched us in war.
Yes. Um, in case anyone didn’t notice, there were a couple of events in the 20th century, um, what were they now? Ah, yes - the world wars. Mass bloodletting on an unprecedented scale. What happens when the beast is unleashed.
I'm a retired Marine officer and I saw - in the recent unpleasantness - what it looks like when we "Cry Havoc!"
I'm not for military adventurism abroad, but I also think if one doesn't have something for which they are willing to fight, then they don't really have anything at all.
Some day, a movie will be made about the Rhodesian Bush War. Most lopsided casualties in history. They won every battle and it wasn't even close ... yet still lost the war. It's a gloriously tragic epic with many lessons for all of us.
> “The folks in government need to realize that historically... like, for all of human history, white people don’t lose wars of survival.”
Depends on which White people. The Gauls once stretched from Spain to modern Turkey, and have been gradually pushed back to the fringes of the North Atlantic ever since.
"We are supposed to say we are for Hammas sneaking in and attacking a bunch of innocent people or we are for Israeli ethnic cleansing.
No how bout this, I'm not part of your operation.
I'm not gna sit here and watch while my life and my children's lives are ruined while you put your wreckage in my country. I demand Benjamin Netanyahu take 20 Palestinians into his house and I demand his candy ass son in Miami suit up in body armor and go to Gaza and fight these people or get the hell out of my world and I don't say this because I hate jews. I say this because I'm not a toilet bowl for you to sit on and shit on"
The suggestion that Israel can export its problems to our countries, and that we should thank them for the privilege, is the sort of arrogance that invites Nemesis.
Alex Jones is based (and entertaining) but historically illiterate. The West (above all the UK and the US) assisted the Arab League in weaponizing the Palestinian refugee issue from 1948 onwards. The US played a central role in establishing UNRWA (the UN agency that services the refugees) and at the time the US expected the Arabs to win the conflict. The US and its allies also agreed to create a special definition of refugee for the benefit of the Palestinians alone. Plenty of work for Nemesis.
The urgent priority for the West IMHO should be repudiating the international convention on refugees. This confers an automatic right for refugees to cross borders and is the legal foundation for Europe's permanent refugee crisis. So long as the treaty stands there is no way to protect Western peoples from being swamped. Blow-hards like Alex Jones never discuss this.
Yep. I've heard that treaty cited quite often by the globalist scum and their useful idiot fellow travelers. They love nothing more than doing an end run around the national interest under color of law.
International law is an astonishing force multiplier because domestic governance has to be fully compliant with official commitments. It lends unjustified respectability to every conceivable mischief. Normies give the system the benefit of the doubt because politicians never explain that international agreements are designed to take issues out of the hands of electorates. Turning the rule of law into a skinsuit for the Longhouse is a civilization-ending event.
On the other hand, international treaties such as the UNRWA are essentially gentleman's agreements within the elite club of the transnational class. They lack direct enforcement arms outside of occasional trade sanctions, and rely instead largely on the elite of a given country wanting to be part of the club. The entire system is very fragile.
International law is legally phony though. Saying it overrides the Constitution and national law is just a bluff. Treaties are by definition voluntary opt-in agreements by signatory nations and cannot override their laws. Very explicitly so in US law, and every other country if you just think it through.... at least if anyone was actually following laws and Constitutions. As we know, they are going to do what they want now anyway, because they have enough power to get away with it, so international law and treaty talk is really just an excuse for elites/leaders to minimize pushback when they disregard law, not about following higher laws.
Main point is, repudiating any treaty or international law would not make the problem go away. However, if you put enough pressure on gov't to do it, the fact that you rallied that much political pressure itself would be the important part. With the gov't on the right side of the issue, the treaty could just be ignored or overriden by domestic law.
Correct. There is actually no such thing as "international law", just a series of treaties the provisions of which are open to endless interpretation. Even more spurious is the oft-quoted "international humanitarian law" which REALLY doesn't exist but is wielded like a cudgel whenever white people have to defend themselves. It's a make-it-up-as-we-go-along law.
Next time you encounter someone wielding "international humanitarian law", simply ask them to cite their legal authority and which precise law is being broken. Stand back and watch them mentally flatline.
Our occupation government has been laying the groundwork for this for a long time, coordinating things at the international level to subvert local autonomy.
Been saying more-or-less the same thing for 25 years now, using different words and in my language (obviously).
It's not our fault. It's not our responsibility. Leave them to it. Keep them out. Send any intruders packing. Offer to do business with them - trading - but nothing more.
That goes for all conflicts and countries in Africa and Asia.
Same principle as when talking early parole from prison or court mandated stay in mental hospital: the released person is to go live with the family of the judge or psychiatrist deciding their release. They don't want that person in their home, they don't want to pay indefinite welfare for a criminal or a psycho, then that criminal or psycho stays locked up.
A few years ago I saw a clip of a journalist walking around Stockholm asking people if they supported refugees. They all said yes. Then he asked if they'd be willing to put them up in their own homes. He even had a Somali migrant with him to help press the point. They all said no. It was hilarious.
If it was a swedish journalist, it must have been Jens Ganman or Chang Frick or Mats Dagerlind.
I know Tim Pool visited years ago and our main-stream media nearly prolapsed that an "american right-wing christian conservative white supremacist" was allowed into the nation and even worse was allowed to move freely and report whatever he liked un-edited for political suitability.
I'm not making this up: these were the publicly expressed sentiments of our most prominent jounralists and not a few top-level politicians at the time.
It serves very well to show foreigners how extreme the "middle" swedish politics is: Tim Pool is considered to be one armband away from full nazi.
For many, even the act of partaking of other media than nation regime-loyal ones or state media is seen as beyond the pale, like a thing that's simply not done - no matter how they vote.
It probably reflects the circles I moved in, but I met quite a few Swedes who went hard in the other direction. There's a powerful undercurrent of reaction in Swedish society moving just beneath the surface.
Literal Stockholm Syndrome. At least the brainwashing breaks down after a certain point, as demonstrated by the people's unwillingness to board a Somali migrant in their own homes. Maybe some of them started to wake up, although I suspect many doubled down on their liberal values to avoid the unpleasant cognitive dissonance.
"Oh but not at my place, I don't have the room (in a 250sqm apartment in the most expensive district in Stockholm City), and! We're all in it together! Solidarity!"
Swedish state-TV sent their own team to prove how wonderful life in the high-rise anti-swedish ghettoes are. That team got harassed and assaulted and had to run away under police escort.
They still aired it, heavily edited.
Several "alt-news" sources have tried hosting Pride-marches in the ghettoes. The police denies them this, citing the risk of riots and not being able to protect the lives of the marchers. This is completely covered up by the state media.
The reality is that Varadkar will be completely under the control of his masters - the skeletons in his closet probably come in the shape of very young boys.
The reality is that the young men of Ireland have had enough, and there will be no containing their virile young male energy.
The reality is that Conor McGregor has the means to organize that energy and turn it into a force that will overcome the traitors in Ireland.
Unchartered territory. The main weapon - accusing their enemies of being far right - is falling flat.
Once they lose control of “racist” and “xenophobe” they may be out of magic words altogether. And lets face it, this whole shit show across the West is about sensitivity to verbal accusations since whites are not actually the neo-Nazi genociders they want us to be.
But Northern Europeans are nothing if not tough. That’s why we have been targeted. I suspect Ireland is just getting there first because it is small.
I think they've reached the limits of what they can do with magic words already. Once social immunity has been built up to a few of them, it extends de facto to all.
I agree. The masses will have peaked behind the curtain and that will go. And it is a massive part of the assault. Not surprising since the academics and the laptop class excel at verbal dexterity. But what then?
I am already seeing some aspects of the conventional Right make blunt statements about mass repatriations they wouldn't have done only a few months ago. Mainly Douglas Murray. But he is pretty mainstream so who knows what others are really thinking. Could just be a weather balloon to test public sentiment given his place in the hierarchy.
The mainstream right is certainly sounding quite a bit bolder than they were in the very recent past. I suspect a mixture of Elon loosening things up on Xitter, combined with the cultural impact of several years of dissident right meming.
Plus the visibility of the Palestinian demonstrations. In London there were a lot of brown people chanting. I have absolutely no doubt that rattled a few cages. Most Muslims do not socialize publicly in the UK, so they are somewhat invisible. You certainly don't see them in pubs. I suspect that came as a shock. They also did themselves no favours disobeying the police when politely asked to move along. Blatantly non-British behaviour basically. Aggressive and insulting in ways we don't really see normally.
I'm of two minds on the anger of Muslims and Arabs in London being "aggressive and insulting" in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
On the one hand, I think their anger is completely justified. There are no words for what Israel is doing to the Palestinians right now - the sheer glee so many Jews are expressing in shredding the bodies of these people is beyond genocide.
On the other hand, I ask myself, what are these immigrants (legal and otherwise) doing in the UK in the first place? Most are economic opportunists, not political refugees. And the violent crimes too many of them commit against regular Brits (not TPTB) speaks to a complete lack of respect after being made so welcome in a country they did not build, and are not contributing to, in any meaningful way.
I do wonder if the anger on the streets in Ireland was primed on some level (maybe subconscious?) by the Israeli Jews' assault on Gaza. I understand the Irish have traditionally been quite sympathetic towards Palestinians.
I think there is a strong case to be made for solidarity between the Palestinian cause and the Irish one. The Palestinians are not trying to get a free ride in a Western country. They steadfastly want to remain in, return to, and have sovereignty over, their own homeland.
Are you sure you have all the details correct? I was reading a statement from the Irish police a few hours ago and they said the riots were caused by "misinformation" and also that they were refusing to release any details about the perpetrator. Presumably details of his heritage would have led to even more noxious rounds of misinformation.
On a serious note, it really is remarkable how the people who man these institutions hate their fellow countrymen.
So far as I can tell the riots were quite real, so I'm not sure what the misinformation is, unless it's the nationality of the knifeman who motivated the whole thing. Maybe they're playing word games: the Algerian man has Irish citizenship, so he's "Irish"? I saw a journalist on X trying to make that argument (and getting roundly mocked for it).
MacGregor would probably win any election in Ireland at this point. It’s only suiting the fighting Irish are ruled by a fighter. And boy does this world need that island of rough and tumble drunks to punch some lizard people in the teefs
Thank you for writing this! It's brilliant, spot-on.
Last time I was in Dublin I didn't recognize large swathes of it, which are African and Arab now. Why are they there? FOR MONEY, at the expense of Irish people. I don't recall any of them wanting to move to Ireland before Ireland had money. They have zero legitimate reason to be in Ireland at all.
Thanks for pointing out that Varadkar likes to take dick up the ass. I didn't know that before, but it makes perfect sense.
Varadkar was projecting. He accused them of is what he himself is. The masks he claims they hide behind are the ones he puts on to look into the camera. He is the cowardly champion, easily led into darkness.
A couple of years ago, the then-Prime Minister of Finland, the very comely Sanna Marin, was filmed in a nightclub dancing with a man who wasn’t her spouse. The Irish papers all reported on it rather breathlessly.
Shortly after, the Irish prime minister, who is gay, was filmed in a gay nightclub in Dublin with his tongue jammed down the throat of a young man who isn’t the one he’s paired up with.
The powers that be arranged for the video to be removed from the internet as far as possible.
The response of the Irish papers was to remind the great unwashed that the private life of their politicians was strictly private and that only lowlifes would comment on such a video.
I would never vote for a gay male as my PM. He might be a great guy and competent. Put him in cabinet. But I am married with three sons and four grandchildren. This is THE CENTRAL point of my life. Not my job or my net worth or my hobbies. This is something a gay person can never fully understand. Or, for that matter, a childless person. Again, I have great friends who are childless. Smart people. Good politics. But they don’t understand that part of my life. I want a leader who considers first and foremost the impact of their decisions on children and family life.
It didn’t end there. They would have taken it further. Very likely his partner would have shrugged it off. It isn’t as big a no-no in the gay community as it is among us heteros. (I mistyped heteros as hsteros. Auto correct turned it to haters! Coincidence?)
Learn from the left how to turn protests into political capital. Immediately reframe all imprisoned rioters as demonstrators, put their names on posters and call them political prisoners, demand their release. If they get released, you have empowered the radical base. If they are kept, they become a cause galvanizing the sympathizers. The Irish should know how that works.
The mostly peaceful protests in Ireland proves one thing:
That mass-murder and enslavement of indigenous white populations are the entire point of mass-migration; the political and medial response both shows this clear as day, and also prove assumptions that the multicultural agenda isn't just a virtue signalling fad or cynical ploy by the rich and famous.
Media, civili servants, police, fire dep. and so on all showed up en masse not to support their own people but to follow orders issued by the traitors in office.
Same as here.
Can confirm your assumptions re: Sweden and slavery, et c. It's been tried a couple of times and was laughed off. Instead, the startegy is and has been since the 1970s to guilt-trip us with the Great Lie that poverty in Africa is our fault, somehow in someway never really specified or defined.
The reason it worked in the first place is a deep-seated guilt among the generations born before the 1980s: That we didn't go to war to aid Finland against the USSR, and that we (read: major banks and capitalist clans of industrialists) played Axis and Allies against the profit margin to stay out of WW2. Sweden holds the dubious distinction of being the only nation who had to pay reparations to all sides in that war, including Germany.
For people of my age and older, there's a smidgen of lingering guilt about this, despite not having been around then. That guilt plus our leadership caste's sense of grandiosity thinking us a "humanitarian superpower" (actual quote) and morally superior to all others is the ideological bear-trap we've set for ourselves.
Swedish regime and state media initially reported the stabbings as the work of "irish nazis". This has been scrubbed since, but no corrections published. Such an ugly tactic, and it still works. Sadly, the swedes who are coming around to realise that we are in it deep, are still largely in the "where can we move to get away"-mindset. The backed-into-a-corner feeling isn't really there yet.
I really hope the irish can convince the Garda to remember that the first duty of a policeman (or a soldier) is the wellbeing of the people, not the state or the ruler or the capitalists.
Familj, fränder, folk, fosterland.
Family, kith&kin, people, motherland.
That's the chain of loyalty and duty. No guesses as to why all liberal, capitalist, communist and progressive politics have always assaulted the family. Destroy the family and all else follows.
Ah, yes I forgot the WWII connection. Exacerbated of course because while Sweden was formally neutral, many young Swedish men served with the Finns against Stalin, and many others joined the SS Viking division. And of course, in the period before the war, Sweden was giving lessons to Germany on racial hygiene.
What any of that has to do with Infinity Africans is not at all obvious, but then none of this is about logic.
Ca 5 500 voluinteers made it to Finland, most of the "retired" military. Fully supported by the swedish people, the only reason more volunteers didn't go to Finland was that the Soviet Union made it clear that if that happened, it would consider it as an act of open war. On top of that, we bought so much ammunition from Germany to give to the finns, the germans almost had to delay their offensive against Poland. Not to mention donating more than half our airforce at the time, such as it was.
The support to Finland is a point of pride and shame at the same time. When the war-time coalition governement didn't formally joined Finland but instead stopped volunteers from going, it was seen as a betrayal of our ancestral brother-people (broderfolk, hard to translate the meaning) by the swedish people. So was the lack of support shown Denmark as well as allowing Germany to transit troops through Sweden.
The reasons for this are many but boil down to two things:
Fear of invasion, either by Britain, USSR or Germany, to take control of natural resources and strategic territory. And:
Strong pressure put upon politicians from our domestic capitalists, such as the Wallenberg-family, who made fortunes acting as money-laundering services and proxies for german companies, top ranking german officials and Germany itself; the banking clans and capitalists of Sweden were virtually 100% aligned with Germany because they saw it as part of the fight against democracy, workers' rights and unionisation.
Fewer than 300 volunteered to serve in the german forces, and those voluneteers were largely misfits, criminals and what few actual nazis there were. Barely a hundred of them qualified for combat duty.
Anyone wondering where we - as a people and the actual nation - stood need just consider the ration; 5 500+ volunteers to help the finns (not to forget the tens of thousands of children the finns got to send to us, to keep the children safe from the war) vs. barely 300 misfits no-one cared about or supported.
If they didn't, people would instead talk about the hundreds of families from the Northland who on orders from the Coimmunist Party went to the Soviet Union in the 1930s.
A bare handful returned and were silenced and shunned by the party, even to this day.
The reason being, the Soviet Union wasn't what the party had told them, but "Die Partei hat immer recht" isn't just a (east) german thing.
Or people could talk about the fact that the Communist Party was openly pro-Hitler and pro-nazi until Germany attacked the Soviet Union. Then they were openly por-Stalinist until the 1970s, when they were openly and publicly loudly pro-Pol Pot.
That's why they need to use a paltry handful of straw all the time: the things the woke love to abuse simply aren't there in our history, and the dirt that is, was largely done by the Socialist Party themselves (such as the racial biology-stuff that so impressed the germans, that came from the socialists).
I hope to see the day when Ireland throws off an occupation far more insidious and evil than the English ever dreamed of being. It has always baffled me how they could spend so long fighting for independence and identity and then almost immediately turn around and sell it all down the river for trinkets. Like, what was even the point?
Britain at least has the excuse of having bled itself dry in two World Wars and having been publicly stripped of all remaining prestige and reduced to vassalage during the Suez Crisis. Ireland has no such excuses on offer.
The Irish fight rather ineffectually. The only reason they even got independence is because the British left of the day decided to support them. And now that they have independence it seems they have no idea how to handle it.
“Another possibility is that the managerial class, having found the indigenous White populations troublesomely creative, independent, and hard to control, has elected to turn satire into reality, and dissolve the people and elect another.”
Exactly my analysis. I would substitute “managerial class” for “the controllers.” This is third-rail territory but if we continue not to see it crystal clearly at this stage of the cancer, the children of the world are heading into an unprecedented dark age. Also note: creativity and independence are an acquired taste, nourished by many Western values. But they are color-blind. The tactic of migrant and immigrant FLOODING sabotages assimilation and prevents the acquired taste from developing.
Indeed, they can be learned, to a certain degree. But only so far. There is also an innate predisposition that can only be inherited. In any case, that doesn't change the result: flooding the zone prevents newcomers from assimilating, but also leads to genetic dilution, in the long run.
As for the controllers, they are less in control than they like to imagine.
Eh, I don't agree on the genetic predisposition. I grew up in California among 3rd and 4th generation Asians and Hispanics, and they all "acquired the taste". Admittedly it does take a few generations and it can't happen when the floodgates are thrown open. (Also, admittedly, my neighborhood was fairly affluent so there's a built in selection bias.)
Hispanic doesn't really have any biological meaning. It covers everything from full-blooded Mayan to direct descendant of the conquistadors, and most of them are far more European than they are anything else.
The Asians are a better example of it being learnable and therefore not entirely innate, however, so far it's mostly confined to Japan. I've often heard Chinese immigrants remark that while they do quite well academically, they can't quite fathom the ability of Europeans to think laterally.
I supervise two Chinese immigrants. One is capable of very broad thinking, I trust him to handle things the way I would (adjusting for experience/seniority). The other one is a bit more narrow, conforming more to your stereotype. Interestingly though, I think the second one would be more on board, ideologically, with the topics covered in your blog (compared with the first).
Regarding Japanese vs. Chinese. Lately I've started to wonder about language and how it functions as a carrier for far more information than we might assume on the surface. It is the analog of DNA on the astral plane. Thus, I think language plays an important role in how a people collectively behaves, as much possibly as physical DNA. As a language, Japanese is distantly related to Turkish. Thus, it may carry some Western Asiatic behavioral patterns that would not exist with people who speak Chinese languages.
So when non-European immigrants come to Western countries: if their grandchildren learn English as a first language I do think they end up behaving as Westerners. There's only one racial group that seems not to do that, no matter how many generations they speak English (or a variant thereof).
The Asians aren't doctrinal commies - AT ALL. They're inveterate traders, in point of fact. They LOVE to haggle and get the better of a deal, but they've been cowed by Tianamen and the tanks. I have a some great anecdotes from my time living there, but I'll sum it by saying that they've survived a LOT of brutal emperors and dynasties across their history. The current CCP sociopaths have only been in power for 75 years. By Chinese standards, that's not even a drop in the bucket. It's too bad that our leaders have taken Mao's work as an instruction manual at how to subdue a population. We would do well to remember that it's the Chines government is OUR enemy, not the Chinese populace. I would import a SHIT-TON of hardworking, intelligent, free-minded Chinese and let them build infrastructure to support themselves in various places. (You ever notice how there are self-contained, self-sufficient "Chinatowns" everywhere in the world and they don't depend upon government subsidies?)
The way I see it, on one end of the genetic spectrum there is inbreeding. Everyone agrees that this is a disastrous genetic outcome. On the other end of the spectrum, at best, there is a rich genetic mix, intelligence (if selection is done well), resistance to unfavorable recessive gene-driven diseases and manifestations. At worst, it is another story. But it is always another story at worst.
Eugenic breeding is the happy compromise. No inbreeding, as after all recessive disorders degrade the genome; but breeding partners must be carefully selected for compatibility and quality.
Icelandic studies indicate that the sweet spot, for fertility at least, happens around the third cousin level.
I have no problem with intelligent breeding based on quality, compatibility and free choice to create a robust, loving family unit. There are intangibles like scent which operate in the background to signal compatibility. The thing just goes on its own steam under the right conditions (culture).
I think culture needs to consciously chosen to encourage the right breeding patterns. Our modern Western culture is highly dysgenic and will come crashing down because of it.
Thank you for this. Saw the atrocity that triggered it, but was encouraged to see the reaction it elicited.
A couple thoughts from this USian of mixed white ancestry, part Nebraska/Missouri English, part Pennsylvania Deutsch:
1) Push, and then push some more. Elections only go so far in this heavily censored and herded world in the West, and are only so efficacious, but but still worth the effort. Perhaps couple this with general strikes, and publicity from foreign news services not under the thumb of the EU, comprador state that Ireland now is. Protests right up to the limit the law permits, and when protesters are abused by the State, use this to fuel future even larger protests. Tie these tactics together; one stick can be snapped, but bundle them together and that is no longer so easy.
2) Shame the government and their vital partners in crime, the media. Stand on their feet, and shout in their faces, relentlessly.
3) While Roman Catholicism in Ireland has fallen in the estimation of much of the public, the Irish have their own noble tradition of Christianity upon which to draw. The feckless wreckers who gave the Roman Catholic Church such an blow are, more likely than not, the sort who align with the Anti-Pope, Bergoglio. As with the trad Catholics in the US, who know that no sympathy can be looked for from those people and the hierarchy that they have suborned, they nonetheless live their understanding of the Faith. Perhaps, by looking toward the ancient Irish Christian Church, something like this can be initiated among the people of Faith in Ireland that can give structure and a spiritual backbone to those who wish to return Ireland to the Irish, a nation which struggled for so long to throw off foreign domination, only to in one generation sell their birthright like Esau for a mere bowl of soup.
You have companions in this no doubt drawn out struggle over here who wish you well.
I found this post linked at Western Rifle Shooters Association blog, just so you know.
Speaking as someone French (with a drop of Irish blood) from across the pond, ici in North-America; God bless the Irish and sincerely hope they rise to greater heights to throw out this foreign occupation. I love Irish culture and people, if anyone should be spared from the ravages of Globalism it is they.
Aisling Murphy was a lovely 23 year old who was brutally murdered by a 31 year old Slovakian Gypsy while out running in Ireland in January of 2022.
He is a father of five who had been living in Ireland and collecting welfare and disability despite being in perfect health.
The papers at the time of her murder reported the police line that she had been strangled. It emerged during the trial that she had been stabbed multiple times and had died screaming in terror. The media never corrected their initial story.
The trial just concluded with a guilty verdict last week and really primed the pump for this rioting.
Things are really on the boil.
The only thing worse than the despicable Irish political class is the execrable Irish journalist class.
Another great essay- time for me to start paying my fair share.
That's absolutely insane. The police aren't there to protect the people, they're there to protect criminals from the people.
This is partially true. In places where there isn’t much in the way of police, criminals are often dealt to in very violent ways. Part of the reason the penal system exists is to stop vigilantism.
Progressives seem to think that if they stop punishing people that those people won’t receive any punishment, when really it just comes later and is much worse.
The perfect example is the parent who won’t discipline their children. The child never escapes discipline, it just ruins their life when it eventually comes. The same thing will happen with the lax policing and sentencing the progressives push for. If the state won’t exercise it’s monopoly on the right to use violence, eventually the citizenry will be forced to take it back.
This is correct, and not only in Ireland. If the authorities refuse to do their job, others will, rather more decisively. And they will become the new authorities.
That happened recently in Sweden. A young woman hanged her rapist with the help of her two brothers. I believe he was a "hooded youth" as it were.
She, her brother, and her boyfriend were heroes. Through I heard the Swedish nationalist underground did not treat them as such, surprisingly.
The verdicts in this case came today.
The girl, her boyfriend, his brother and two half-brother set a trap for the taxi-driver that had raped her (him being a non-western migrant, to the surprise of no-one), hanging him from a bird-watcher's tower where he hung for a week before the boday was found.
However, being not all that bright they also stole his wallet and phone and emptied his accounts, and the girl posted on social media that "my rapist is dead, tihihi".
One of them received life in prison for this, due to his age and to him having several previous convictions for narcotics-related crimes and violently resisting arrests. The others received between a few months to three years of juvenile detention (essentially youth prison).
Odds are, they'll get violently abused in there, or even murdered since almost all prisoners in Sweden are non-western migrants or of such origin.
I'm guessing the reason for no-one seeing this as some kind of fight-back against non-western migrants committing crimes is the backgrounds of the youths involved - low-key WT-people with no real political conviction, knowledge or affiliation, only interested in booze and drugs and petty crime.
Whether that is true or not I don't know and since several of the involved parties are minors, the court proceedings are partly classified.
Odds are, this will go to higher court and the sentences may be partially commuted - but if it gets political, the reverse is likely to happen.
Thanks for the update on this. Can't say I'm surprised they threw the book at them.
Honestly, I think the Swedish right is being a bit overprincipled by not turning them into folk heroes. Who cares if they're plebs who did it for personal rather than political reasons? Makes it more visceral. Who cares that they helped themselves to the rapist's belongings? Law of the jungle, that.
What are WT-people?
White Trash. The term has made great inroads in Sweden that last ten-ish years or so, especially among the far left (our far left, that is) and the libertarian/upper class where it intersects with "alt-right" people.
Or in other words, classic Von Oben-attitudes of the nouveau riche towards common people.
This is true in all globalist-corrupted western nations. We see it here in Canada and in the USA. People ARE starting to adopt a vigilante attitude: we have no other choice. I’d rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
Discipline or beating? Because the latter is not the former, and to the degree the latter is employed in purported pursuit of the former, the farther from the path of discipline you have wandered, and the further down the road to creating your own personal Hamas you have travelled (that is: someone instructed in violence seeking to eradicate its originator).
My very complex needs (severely autistic, developmental delay, allergies, OCD, etc) stepson is a two-person containment risk, and when he melts down, strength and agility are essential to the task. However, if those are the only criteria for choosing support staff there will be constant daily meltdowns, violence violence violence. If the support teams also have three more qualities: empathy, strong communication skills, & strong working knowledge of autism (becoming client specific over time), meltdowns may occur once every month or two.
Violent men are all too eager to claim more violent men are the answer to violent men. The problem is that only rarely is that truly needed; however, once commenced, it is too late for the other solutions to save those upon whom the violent men act.
Nobody but latent authoritarians want a king, and then only one in their own image.
Also: let’s not forget the Irish were as good at running slave raids as anyone. The Roman Empire was stretched too thin and the indomitable Irish were feared raiders. Where do you think Saint Patrick came from?
“How The Irish Saved Western Civilization” is a great little read.
"Nobody but latent authoritarians want a king, and then only one in their own image."
As opposed to our wonderfully open-minded liberal political class, who are anything but authoritarian.
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
So, I agree we need a different way. And so far all the ways chosen by men with guns, have brought us here. Like I say, men with guns always want to participate too soon.
I sure don’t look to accelerationism.
If we were living in northern Gaza on Oct 8 we would be there still, or dead. Families w major disabilities go first when systems collapse.
Have you done a cost-analysis of what such care for a severly autistic human is?
Ideas of rights, -isms and whatnot doesn't enter into it, because they do nothing to mitigate real costs.
24/7 care means at least three full-time employees, probably more than that (weekends, sick leave, et c). That's three adults, and by what you list as "truly needed" you want people with skills and traits you don't get for minimum wage.
Since I don't know wages in Ireland or Britain, I'll not use any numbers but consider this: the autistic produces nothing. That human's economical effect will be an ever-increasing net-negative during his/her's lifetime. The three full-time caretakers are all also a net cost, since caring for someone who can't produce so they can pay for their own care isn't productive either.
Odds are, you're looking at an average net loss equaling a year's average pay, every month. That means that those resources used up cannot be used for others, or for lowered taxes.
Since I know it's very easy to read the above the wrong way I'm putting in a caveat here: the above is the way it is, no matter anyone's opinion. It is not an endorsement for any specific policy: it is simply something that must be considered and solved.
You are absolutely correct. The community or state take on the burden and tax the citizenry, so we as a civilization must decide: support all similarly challenged individuals to the greatest degree possible? Warehouse them efficiently with little regard for quality of life? Or sacrifice all runts?
Some argue the worth of a civilization is revealed in precisely this choice.
And as it is technologically possible for everyone on the planet to enjoy a basic middle class lifestyle, we *can* go with option 1 part and parcel. We just seem to prefer to worship billionaires.
Technologically possible is debatable, since we are not all equal as human cultures. Look at Ethiopia: there's land a-plenty and the nation needn't ever have suffered the famines it became synonymous with in the1980s.
But the communistic regime let party officials confiscate well-tended and profitable lands and farms, making it pointless for anyone to grow more than they themselves needed, ensuring any disruption would result in starvation.
Also, foreign aid ensured the regime could remain in power, keep the people down and even "tax" refugee and expat ehtiopians by holding their kin hostage in the homeland, since the regime completely lacks incentive to change.
Now compare it to Norway, which was a dirt-poor barely industrialised nation during the 19th century and who went from this state to one of the most prosperous, peaceful, least crime-ridden and most high-trust societies inside two generations after gaining independence in 1905.
Point being, each people must develop along its own cultural path, thereby being able to by itself determine what and how to solve problems (and decide what is a problem in the first place) if it is to achieve post-scarcity levels of production/distribution. Imposing a cookie-cutter model or ideology, be it neo-liberalism or corporate capitalism or communism, doesn't work for that very reason: ideologies are culturally coded to start with.
I cannot recommend Francis Fukuyama's works on this topic enough, not just because of his learning but becasue he has shown himself willing and capable to change his position when reality doesn't act according to theory.
Jeremy, you and Rikard have raised some very interesting and difficult questions, to which I freely admit I do not have answers. But here's a thought...
If the rise in autism, allergies and the other tribulations troubling your stepson are in fact vaccine injuries, how about the billionaires in the pharmaceutical industry be held liable for his lifetime care?
We might see a very rapid decline in such disabilities if the concept of Responsibility was seriously revisited in these the late stages of our civilization.
> And as it is technologically possible for everyone on the planet to enjoy a basic middle class lifestyle, we *can* go with option 1 part and parcel. We just seem to prefer to worship billionaires.
True, in a sense option one is in fact technologically possible. However, the only reason society is capable of reaching and maintaining that level of technology is due to the incentives inherent in capitalism, what you derisively dismissed as "worshiping billionaires".
You don’t know whether this particular autistic, or another kid with some other issue, or anyone else for that matter, will “produce nothing.” Sometimes the odds are going to be higher, sometimes lower, but you really can’t know that with certainty. What you can be certain of, is that the odds that a child with a developmental disability will “produce nothing” are much higher, when that child (and its caregivers) don’t have the resources to grow up to its maximum potential.
Sadly, you're wrong. In an older world where most labour was done manually, even severly autistic people could be given simple manual jobs and could provide if not a lot so at least some kind of contribution to the farm's economy.
For the past century or so, that isn't the cae any longer and today an autistic will compete with a lot of normal humans for what low-income low-requirement jobs there are.
Furthermore, consider what I pointed out: the amount of care and time (i.e. cost) required. That cost will never be recouped, it remains a net loss economically speaking, no matter if you manage to train the autistic to stack shelves in a supermarket or not.
Yes, I do know most people who are born retarded or with other disabilities and handicaps will be a net cost to their family or soceity, that's such a basic fact it can't really be debated. Autistics especially are severly impacted by today's extreme focus on personality and sociability over actual skill, dilligence and getting the job done. An employer simple cannot spare the resources it takes to make a profitable labourer out of an autistic of the kind initially described - especially not when said employer can simply hire someone /without/ those problems. It's not any queerer than that a man with two functioning legs will always beat a one-legged one in a race.
The able autistic is largely a myth, enforced by Hollywood and people who feel better if they in contravention to fact and reality see the disabled, retarded and handicapped as equally abled of only society would make it so. The vast majority of them are mentally retarded with low IQ and low tolerance for stress, add to that hypersensitivity and anxiety disorders cause by their inability to comprehend social interactions on insitinct. A tiny percentage are HFAs (or "Aspies") and it is from that group media and sadly many educators have chosen to creat "the able autistic". While HFAs can be very intelligent in their limited way, they are still socially impaired and have to use their rather mechanistic intelligence to compensate their disabilities, something which causes great emotional stress and anxiety their entire lives.
You see, I used to be a teacher, and have taught and trained HFAs for about 25 years, on and off, of all ages from early teens to young adults. Here in Sweden, unemployment among autistics is close to 85% - that includes the HFAs. It's not discrimination, it's that they simply can't compete: they aren't adaptable enough, they are too specialised, and they have meltdowns and frequently need sick leave, and few can take working full time or the rat-eat-rat mentality of having a career.
It's not a question of -isms, as I initially mentioned: it's sadly and simply the way it is, economically speaking.

You’re wrong here, and without addressing the article cited (TL/DR yet), I propose to punch you in the mouth until you agree with me.
Or...hear me out...maybe you’d prefer to discuss it in a civilized manner.
And that, my friend, is all the proof you need. No one chooses punches in the mouth. No one does not resent corporal punishment.
Rationally discussing things in a civilized manner is itself a skill that must be learned and accepted. And that, by definition, cannot be done via rational discussion.

In any case, you are the one badly in need of correction, possibly via physical violence.
Violence works a heck of a lot more than you seem to think it does. I seldom see it escalate. Usually a strong violent rebuttal to violence ends it. What the US does is a tit for tat violence. That is really bad. Someone kills 10 people needlessly. The US kills 10 back. That’s dumb. You want to win. Not ‘get back at them’. I was a little guy in a very tough neighbourhood. 80 pounds in Grade 8. A bully was harassing me for months at lunch. He was two years older than me and normal size for his age. He would grab my milk carton and poke four or five holes in it with his pencil. My milk would stream out from each hole. I would get milky and have to cover the holes with my fingers and gulp it down. He would laugh and insult me. I had had enough so he did it one day and I poured it all over him. From across a lunch room table. He was going to fight me so I ran around the table and fought him. Before I could lose too badly it was broken up by teachers. The after school fighting arena was the church yard nearby. Every day the church yard would be where the days scraps were settled. ‘After school, William. At the church.’ He outweighed me by probably 50 pounds. A totally unfair fight. Everyone said I should not go. It was not a fair fight. I knew it would not end until I fought him. I did okay. Not a win, but close enough my friends were saying I beat him. Which wasn’t true. I remember saying ‘if that is a win I am sure glad I didn’t lose’. Did that end everything? Probably not. But a buddy of mine, one of the tough guys in the area, Golden Gloves champ, who had tried to talk me out of fighting but who had respected my decision said ‘okay. Well done. I am proud of you. Now it’s my turn’. My bully said ‘I don’t have a problem with you Terry.’ Terry said ‘yeah but I have one with you’. And beat him real bad. And the guy never bugged me ever again. Ever.
I did read Cahill some years ago.
I recommend a reading of "Turtles All the Way Down" (not the children's story but the book available from RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense) and a perusal of AMidwesternDoctor on Substack with attention to essays on immunisation from fall, 2022.
I wish you the best in managing your son.
I'm not really sure what the point you were making is. I'm not advocating violence, I'm saying that as discipline is inevitable, and the refusal to exercise it doesn't make it go away, it postpones it and makes it heavier when it eventually comes.
Your autistic stepson probably needs to be constantly regulated with a light touch, but if you get tired and let things slide then things will get out of hand and there will be a big, traumatic drama before his behaviour is re-regulated. I'm not saying that drama is a good thing, I'm saying it's inevitable. Your choice isn't whether or not you want to deal with his behaviour, it's the level at which you want to intervene.
Most violent men are nothing like your stepson.
Correct, he is not. In fact he is not a violent person. The meltdowns happen to him, he has no agency, he is as traumatized by what is unfolding as anyone. You can’t imagine it, it’s like nothing you’ve seen.
My point was that employing only the last resort (physical containment capable staff) will result in terrible quality of life for my stepson and constant meltdowns. The corollary for society is that the men with guns are mostly not needed, should be avoided as long as possible; but instead they are unleashed far, far too often.
I say again, violent young men are poorly socialized. I come from a family of educators and education-adjacent, and have a retired schoolteacher partner who spent the last half of her career in kindergarten. She probably knows more about five-year-olds than anyone you’ve met; she’s encountered every kind of personality, just as it is first confronting and engaging with the world. Her job was to lead these kids to cooperate with and value each other (o and curriculum cuz the little workers need their math, cram it in early- NOT! Her play-based-learning classroom always was the best behaved class (just ask the gym teacher and librarian!) and gets the best report card metrics without focusing on curriculum. Once kids learn how to cooperate and get the best out of school, they generally do).
> I say again, violent young men are poorly socialized.
I.e., they weren't spanked enough.
In any case, if people rationally believe violence will get them what they want, they will use it. The expected punishment is a major factor in that calculation.
> I come from a family of educators and education-adjacent, and have a retired schoolteacher partner who spent the last half of her career in kindergarten. She probably knows more about five-year-olds than anyone you’ve met
Given the abysmal performance of our schools, I rather doubt that. Compare our current education system with that from as late a the 1920s. People left after middle school having learned more than most college students today.
You imprison someone for stealing a TV NOT because the TV is so important. But because it is necessary to draw a line that cannot be crossed. Going into someone’s home is one such line. I hope Conor takes over.
So he is a slovakian gypsy. Therefore totally legal immigrant. But do we honestly believe that a gypsy like this is welcomed back happily to slovakia? Bad people are not welcomed in any community.
True, but he likely wouldn’t have chosen to settle in Ireland if they didn’t offer the most generous welfare benefits in the EU. They’re total pushovers.
The Algerian who slit the throat of the five year old girl was due to be deported in ‘05, but appealed and was given an Irish passport.
He was arrested and charged with carrying a knife a few years ago, but the charges were dropped for some reason.
There’s an ominous silence on the condition of the poor child that was most seriously injured.
It is inexplicable the authorities allow violent non citizens to stay in the country. Do they want is to go all vigilante so they can impose martial law? Is that a possibility?
People on welfare, single people, should have to go to the welfare employment office and check in every morning at 8 am to see if any day work is needed that day. Employers can show up and aay ‘I need three labourers for a two days’, etc. if they don’t show up they are kicked ofd welfare.
Damn. You and MacGregor both make me want to reclaim my heritage - and not by drinking Guinness. I’ve been saying it awhile now, the snapback is going to be worse. To quote a friend of mine from Appalachia - “The folks in government need to realize that historically... like, for all of human history, white people don’t lose wars of survival.”
Historically, white people don't lose wars, more or less period. But then, this is why they've put so much effort into defeating us psychologically and emotionally, demoralizing us and turning us against ourselves, while poisoning our bodies in a hundred different ways. The hard kill was impossible, so they went for the soft kill.
But I cannot imagine a better motivator to clean up the diet, knock off the seed oils, porn and computer games and go to the gym than an all out existential crisis. I have always felt this whole shit show will either sink us or trigger a renaissance.
Yes, I agree. And I believe we're seeing the first shoots of spring already. Those choosing death are sinking into the mud. Those choosing life are becoming ever more vital.
I feel it in myself. I see it in others too. I am also seeing people's terminology changing in private. Less polite terms used for what we are seeing around us. That is a shift.
A few years ago, it was a furtive "I don't want to sound racist, but...."
Now, it's "I don't care if this sounds racist...."
Yep. Soon it will be, thanks for noticing.
Ayup. I believe we are in violent agreement, John.
A LOT of my former colleagues and the current generation in the All Volunteer Force are, however, getting their eyes opened rather wide. We are headed for some very interesting times, indeed.
Eyes are opening very rapidly right now. I run into people regularly who are itching for a fight.
The problem with the soft kill is, if the mark finds the antivenom, the poison stops working, and they are very, very pissed off.
Letting loose the dogs of war is very dangerous to the losers. When you lose a war, it is a disaster. When the crusaders lost the wars in the Holy Land, the Muslim slave markets were flooded with European stock. Going back in time, arguably the crusades themselves were a military response to Muslim invasion. On another front, the Mongols almost wiped out Europe. The European Knights were no match for the Mongolian hordes and their tactics; they just happened to lose momentum at the right time.
The Mongols are probably the one example where Europe got very lucky. The Arabs, for all their depredations before and after the crusades, never succeeded in conquering Europe.
Some muzzies have names such as Maher, where do you think it came from? It came when the muzzies took hostages at Baltimore in Cork.
I’ve read a variety of analyses of why the Mongols couldn’t complete their conquest. Like others, I used to believe that Europe got “lucky” when the great Khan died and the hordes abandoned the endeavor because that was the consensus narrative. I’ve since read some more detailed studies, however, that strongly suggest two other critical factors were at play: the castle system and the muddy terrain due to Spring rains. Both of those bogged the Mongols down and rendered their tactics all but useless. Could they have besieged all of those thousands of castles and starved Europe to its knees? Maybe. But maybe not. The soft, muddy, and forested terrain of western Europe isn’t the steppes of the East. It may well be that the abandonment of the effort to return to matters back home provided a convenient excuse to not get into siege warfare with the Euros.
That sounds quite plausible. The Saxon system of burhs, which ultimately developed into castles, was an adaptation to Viking raids that proved very successful. The Dane did not enjoy siege warfare. It makes perfect sense that the Mongols would be equally unenthusiastic upon finding that the Eurasian peninsula they intended to conquer was wet, mountainous, difficult to traverse by horse, covered in castles, and populated by a professional warrior aristocracy that had been sharpening its teeth on itself for several centuries.
Europe is also laced with rivers which add a dimension to warfare that would have been largely foreign to the hordes. i.e. How many boats did the Mongols have? How well prepared were they to defend against those kinds of tactics? Were they going to put their own horses on captured boats and float them in response? Who would pilot the boats? etc, etc.
They got as far as Vienna and the March River IIRC, but that's it. The Croatian mountains caused a lot of problems for the Horde en route. They captured Poland, and made a mess in Croatia, but by then they had started taking heavier losses as they moved westward into Austria. I think the narrative that Europe was "lucky" that the Horde turned back voluntarily is largely some self-loathing, ahistorical, academic bullshit. The Mongols were not Super Warriors - they were simply ruthless in a way that Christendom no longer was because chivalry had by then taken hold. Hell - the Chinese kept them at bay for centuries with the Great Wall. (Which, when one sees it up close, isn't hard to understand. It's like a giant long castle wall set at the top of steep, massive ridgelines that today uses ski lifts to take tourists up to the top of.) Indeed, the Great Wall is exactly why the Horde went west into Russia, rather than sacking China. The Great Wall is likely the first ever large-scale immigration restriction to preserve the Han culture and keep out those "icky" Mongols.
Certainly the Mongols were not seafarers. Their two disastrous invasions of Japan demonstrated that. To be fair, the second was wiped out by the Kamikaze. But the first did make landfall ... and they got cut to pieces in the mountains of Honshu by the samurai.
Another factor is weapons technology. Light horse cavalry armed with small compound bows are deadly against conscript peasant armies lacking discipline and armor. Against European heavy cavalry in armored plate? In an environment where withdrawing is made difficult by rivers and forests? I'm skeptical. A similar story with the samurai, for that matter.
Another aspect is physique. The Mongols were larger and stronger than the Han, and probably most other peoples they encountered. The European knight, raised on a diet of meat and milk and trained from boyhood in weapons and tactics, was a different story altogether.
Good points. Relatedly, the crusader castle system was a major problem for the Saracens. Had the crusaders played the hand differently at key campaigns and time points, they may have succeeded.
Indeed. From what I've read, the crusaders' main enemy were themselves. Much of what led to their ultimate defeat were a series of unforced errors, infighting, etc.
They took back quite a bit of what they had lost, e.g. all of the Iberian peninsula, and parts of the Holy Land. It wasn't entirely successful, but had it not been for the Reconquista, the world would look very different today.
Wouldn’t a simpler explanation be that 10,000 Mongols arrive, have a battle, and 9800 remain. Next battle, a great Mongol victory, but 9600 remain. And so on. At some point, the maimed remainder say ‘am I the only one not having any fun?’ Plus, can you imagine being on the road for many years?
LOL, historically, white people were the first to innovate military technology and military science. *It's a little bit difficult to lose a war when you have a gun and the other guy doesn't.* ;) After all, was China ever colonized? Yes they had a Century of Shame, but where they actually colonized? :)
And I would be interested to know how is that statement on white people not losing wars derived. I mean, what kinds of wars are included here? Are the wars the "white people" waged against "brown people from Middle East" admissible? Because if they are, oh boy, it's actually the other way around! White people fought long and hard against brown Ottomans but did they win? On the scale of a thousand years yes, but is that the proper scale for measuring this? Perhaps you're only including the wars English fought against other skin colors, and yes in that case you could say they "didn't lose".
Remind me when the Ottomans conquered Europe, again. Versus say, when the Europeans carved up the Ottoman empire.
As to China, they were absolutely colonized. Look at their fashion. Look at their ideology. All derived from Europe.
Firearms helped but were hardly the whole story. The Greeks didn't have firearms when the Persians failed to conquer them, nor did they have firearms when they dismembered the Persian empire.
> Remind me when the Ottomans conquered Europe, again. Versus say, when the Europeans carved up the Ottoman empire.
Okay, so you're taking the position that the appropriate time horizon is over 600 years. Personally, I'd take the position the comparison is inadmissible as Turks are white. I mean, can you realistically look at Erdogan and tell me he's "brown"? xD But, back to the 600 year time horizon. That would imply it's invalid to pass judgement on a thing unless at least 600 years have passed. Yet no West European colony is that old. Therefore, any judgement on West European's "conquests" are invalid for at least one more century. The century, I might add, that West Europe might not survive.
Obviously you're now going to require that Ottomans conquer entire Europe - as if conquest of that scale is even desireable to begin with - to be admissible as evidence. And you're going to point out that Westerners tore up the Empire - ignoring the fact Turkyie is independent - as evidence. But you'll completely miss both the relative geographic scales as well as relative temporal scales.
> The Greeks didn't have firearms when the Persians failed to conquer them, nor did they have firearms when they dismembered the Persian empire.
This is likewise suffering from a mismatch of scales. The Greeks did dismember the Persian empire but how long did that last? And Ottomans did eventually dismantle Greece, but how long did that last? Apples to apples, oranges to oranges.
> As to China, they were absolutely colonized. Look at their fashion. Look at their ideology. All derived from Europe.
That's not what I had in mind, really. India was colonized, clearly, China wasn't, again clearly.
Turks are both White and not, depending on which part of the country. Some are basically Greek. The ones in the west are not.
Fact is, Europe has never been conquered by non- Europeans. Large parts of the world have been conquered by Europeans, and often relatively small numbers of them. Sometimes fast, sometimes it takes longer. But generally speaking Europeans win, and this has been the case for thousands of years. No one has yet matched us in war.
I would reduce that to "been the case for 500 years", maybe "a thousand years" and agree with the result. Otherwise, yeah, ok, fine...
> Remind me when the Ottomans conquered Europe, again.
The Ottomans got all the way to Vienna, twice.
Close, horseshoes, hand grenades, etc.
And that wasn't even all that close.
Besides which they needed white people to do their fighting for them.
They conquered the entire Balkan peninsula.
Viet Nam? Hardly a victory.
Mind you. It wasn’t white people fighting for survival.
Yes. Um, in case anyone didn’t notice, there were a couple of events in the 20th century, um, what were they now? Ah, yes - the world wars. Mass bloodletting on an unprecedented scale. What happens when the beast is unleashed.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say, David.
I'm a retired Marine officer and I saw - in the recent unpleasantness - what it looks like when we "Cry Havoc!"
I'm not for military adventurism abroad, but I also think if one doesn't have something for which they are willing to fight, then they don't really have anything at all.
> What happens when the beast is unleashed.
The Russians put the beast back to it's place. Again.
Russians are White.
I suspect the politically correct haven't seen Zulu. An aversion to "inappropriate" racial stereotypes in films from the past comes at a price. 😜
Some day, a movie will be made about the Rhodesian Bush War. Most lopsided casualties in history. They won every battle and it wasn't even close ... yet still lost the war. It's a gloriously tragic epic with many lessons for all of us.
I could imagine if that was crowdfunded it could have a budget of $500m lol. It would be a nice bellweather to test things.
As Americans say, when blacks get angry they inexplicably burn down their own neighborhood; when whites get angry they'll need to redraw the maps.
Level 1: "Now wait just a moment...."
Level 2: "Hold on, buddy...."
Level 3: "Newsflash, pal...."
Level 4: "You just hold your horses...."
Level 5: *Heavily armed storm troopers marching in formation with death in their frozen blood and devastation written in their ice cold eyes*
Ha ha. I have seen those memes.
One of my favourite variations is the German one.
The top pic is German men in lederhosen dancing - When you visit Germany.
The bottom pic is a Panzer tank and young uniformed Germans with Flammenwerfers - When Germany visits you. Lol.
I think we've just committed our daily quota of hate crimes. The ADL may want a word.

> “The folks in government need to realize that historically... like, for all of human history, white people don’t lose wars of survival.”
Depends on which White people. The Gauls once stretched from Spain to modern Turkey, and have been gradually pushed back to the fringes of the North Atlantic ever since.
White on White is of course an entirely different question.
Julius Caesar did a number on ‘em. Maybe 1 million killed during his campaigns in Gaul.
Ireland has Connor sounding the alarm.
America has Alex sounding the alarm.

Alex Jones
Extremely based.
The suggestion that Israel can export its problems to our countries, and that we should thank them for the privilege, is the sort of arrogance that invites Nemesis.
Alex Jones is based (and entertaining) but historically illiterate. The West (above all the UK and the US) assisted the Arab League in weaponizing the Palestinian refugee issue from 1948 onwards. The US played a central role in establishing UNRWA (the UN agency that services the refugees) and at the time the US expected the Arabs to win the conflict. The US and its allies also agreed to create a special definition of refugee for the benefit of the Palestinians alone. Plenty of work for Nemesis.
The urgent priority for the West IMHO should be repudiating the international convention on refugees. This confers an automatic right for refugees to cross borders and is the legal foundation for Europe's permanent refugee crisis. So long as the treaty stands there is no way to protect Western peoples from being swamped. Blow-hards like Alex Jones never discuss this.
Yep. I've heard that treaty cited quite often by the globalist scum and their useful idiot fellow travelers. They love nothing more than doing an end run around the national interest under color of law.
International law is an astonishing force multiplier because domestic governance has to be fully compliant with official commitments. It lends unjustified respectability to every conceivable mischief. Normies give the system the benefit of the doubt because politicians never explain that international agreements are designed to take issues out of the hands of electorates. Turning the rule of law into a skinsuit for the Longhouse is a civilization-ending event.
On the other hand, international treaties such as the UNRWA are essentially gentleman's agreements within the elite club of the transnational class. They lack direct enforcement arms outside of occasional trade sanctions, and rely instead largely on the elite of a given country wanting to be part of the club. The entire system is very fragile.
International law is legally phony though. Saying it overrides the Constitution and national law is just a bluff. Treaties are by definition voluntary opt-in agreements by signatory nations and cannot override their laws. Very explicitly so in US law, and every other country if you just think it through.... at least if anyone was actually following laws and Constitutions. As we know, they are going to do what they want now anyway, because they have enough power to get away with it, so international law and treaty talk is really just an excuse for elites/leaders to minimize pushback when they disregard law, not about following higher laws.
Main point is, repudiating any treaty or international law would not make the problem go away. However, if you put enough pressure on gov't to do it, the fact that you rallied that much political pressure itself would be the important part. With the gov't on the right side of the issue, the treaty could just be ignored or overriden by domestic law.
Correct. There is actually no such thing as "international law", just a series of treaties the provisions of which are open to endless interpretation. Even more spurious is the oft-quoted "international humanitarian law" which REALLY doesn't exist but is wielded like a cudgel whenever white people have to defend themselves. It's a make-it-up-as-we-go-along law.
Next time you encounter someone wielding "international humanitarian law", simply ask them to cite their legal authority and which precise law is being broken. Stand back and watch them mentally flatline.
Our occupation government has been laying the groundwork for this for a long time, coordinating things at the international level to subvert local autonomy.
Been saying more-or-less the same thing for 25 years now, using different words and in my language (obviously).
It's not our fault. It's not our responsibility. Leave them to it. Keep them out. Send any intruders packing. Offer to do business with them - trading - but nothing more.
That goes for all conflicts and countries in Africa and Asia.
Same principle as when talking early parole from prison or court mandated stay in mental hospital: the released person is to go live with the family of the judge or psychiatrist deciding their release. They don't want that person in their home, they don't want to pay indefinite welfare for a criminal or a psycho, then that criminal or psycho stays locked up.
Can't say fairer than that, no?
A few years ago I saw a clip of a journalist walking around Stockholm asking people if they supported refugees. They all said yes. Then he asked if they'd be willing to put them up in their own homes. He even had a Somali migrant with him to help press the point. They all said no. It was hilarious.
If it was a swedish journalist, it must have been Jens Ganman or Chang Frick or Mats Dagerlind.
I know Tim Pool visited years ago and our main-stream media nearly prolapsed that an "american right-wing christian conservative white supremacist" was allowed into the nation and even worse was allowed to move freely and report whatever he liked un-edited for political suitability.
I'm not making this up: these were the publicly expressed sentiments of our most prominent jounralists and not a few top-level politicians at the time.
Yes, it was a Swedish journalist.
Hilarious that they'd describe the milquetoast libertarian Pool in such terms. I don't think he even goes to church, and in 2016 he was anti-Trump.
It serves very well to show foreigners how extreme the "middle" swedish politics is: Tim Pool is considered to be one armband away from full nazi.
For many, even the act of partaking of other media than nation regime-loyal ones or state media is seen as beyond the pale, like a thing that's simply not done - no matter how they vote.
It probably reflects the circles I moved in, but I met quite a few Swedes who went hard in the other direction. There's a powerful undercurrent of reaction in Swedish society moving just beneath the surface.
Literal Stockholm Syndrome. At least the brainwashing breaks down after a certain point, as demonstrated by the people's unwillingness to board a Somali migrant in their own homes. Maybe some of them started to wake up, although I suspect many doubled down on their liberal values to avoid the unpleasant cognitive dissonance.
That they did - the spiel went:
"Oh but not at my place, I don't have the room (in a 250sqm apartment in the most expensive district in Stockholm City), and! We're all in it together! Solidarity!"
Swedish state-TV sent their own team to prove how wonderful life in the high-rise anti-swedish ghettoes are. That team got harassed and assaulted and had to run away under police escort.
They still aired it, heavily edited.
Several "alt-news" sources have tried hosting Pride-marches in the ghettoes. The police denies them this, citing the risk of riots and not being able to protect the lives of the marchers. This is completely covered up by the state media.
I saw that too. All their weasel excuses on display.
The reality is that Varadkar will be completely under the control of his masters - the skeletons in his closet probably come in the shape of very young boys.
The reality is that the young men of Ireland have had enough, and there will be no containing their virile young male energy.
The reality is that Conor McGregor has the means to organize that energy and turn it into a force that will overcome the traitors in Ireland.
Long live the Fighting Irish.
Unchartered territory. The main weapon - accusing their enemies of being far right - is falling flat.
Once they lose control of “racist” and “xenophobe” they may be out of magic words altogether. And lets face it, this whole shit show across the West is about sensitivity to verbal accusations since whites are not actually the neo-Nazi genociders they want us to be.
But Northern Europeans are nothing if not tough. That’s why we have been targeted. I suspect Ireland is just getting there first because it is small.
I think they've reached the limits of what they can do with magic words already. Once social immunity has been built up to a few of them, it extends de facto to all.
I agree. The masses will have peaked behind the curtain and that will go. And it is a massive part of the assault. Not surprising since the academics and the laptop class excel at verbal dexterity. But what then?
I am already seeing some aspects of the conventional Right make blunt statements about mass repatriations they wouldn't have done only a few months ago. Mainly Douglas Murray. But he is pretty mainstream so who knows what others are really thinking. Could just be a weather balloon to test public sentiment given his place in the hierarchy.
The mainstream right is certainly sounding quite a bit bolder than they were in the very recent past. I suspect a mixture of Elon loosening things up on Xitter, combined with the cultural impact of several years of dissident right meming.
Plus the visibility of the Palestinian demonstrations. In London there were a lot of brown people chanting. I have absolutely no doubt that rattled a few cages. Most Muslims do not socialize publicly in the UK, so they are somewhat invisible. You certainly don't see them in pubs. I suspect that came as a shock. They also did themselves no favours disobeying the police when politely asked to move along. Blatantly non-British behaviour basically. Aggressive and insulting in ways we don't really see normally.
I'm of two minds on the anger of Muslims and Arabs in London being "aggressive and insulting" in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
On the one hand, I think their anger is completely justified. There are no words for what Israel is doing to the Palestinians right now - the sheer glee so many Jews are expressing in shredding the bodies of these people is beyond genocide.
On the other hand, I ask myself, what are these immigrants (legal and otherwise) doing in the UK in the first place? Most are economic opportunists, not political refugees. And the violent crimes too many of them commit against regular Brits (not TPTB) speaks to a complete lack of respect after being made so welcome in a country they did not build, and are not contributing to, in any meaningful way.
I do wonder if the anger on the streets in Ireland was primed on some level (maybe subconscious?) by the Israeli Jews' assault on Gaza. I understand the Irish have traditionally been quite sympathetic towards Palestinians.
I think there is a strong case to be made for solidarity between the Palestinian cause and the Irish one. The Palestinians are not trying to get a free ride in a Western country. They steadfastly want to remain in, return to, and have sovereignty over, their own homeland.
🙌
Are you sure you have all the details correct? I was reading a statement from the Irish police a few hours ago and they said the riots were caused by "misinformation" and also that they were refusing to release any details about the perpetrator. Presumably details of his heritage would have led to even more noxious rounds of misinformation.
On a serious note, it really is remarkable how the people who man these institutions hate their fellow countrymen.
So far as I can tell the riots were quite real, so I'm not sure what the misinformation is, unless it's the nationality of the knifeman who motivated the whole thing. Maybe they're playing word games: the Algerian man has Irish citizenship, so he's "Irish"? I saw a journalist on X trying to make that argument (and getting roundly mocked for it).
love you John, showcasing your work
Cool. Thank you!
You have been a good writer all along. But you are getting better and better. Well
done!!
Thanks, man!
You would be surprised what people will do for a steady salary and a guaranteed pension. Money is stronger than blood.
For a certain kind of reptile that is all too true.
Bobble headed lot lizards.
Holler for a dollar.
Mercenaries are oft willing to kill for money, but rarely so willing to die.
MacGregor would probably win any election in Ireland at this point. It’s only suiting the fighting Irish are ruled by a fighter. And boy does this world need that island of rough and tumble drunks to punch some lizard people in the teefs
Bingo. A pugnacious pugilist would be the ideal avatar for the fightin' Irish.
It was great to see MacGregor speaking up but I hope he's ready. They undoubtedly have a metoo campaign in the works.
Thank you for writing this! It's brilliant, spot-on.
Last time I was in Dublin I didn't recognize large swathes of it, which are African and Arab now. Why are they there? FOR MONEY, at the expense of Irish people. I don't recall any of them wanting to move to Ireland before Ireland had money. They have zero legitimate reason to be in Ireland at all.
Thanks for pointing out that Varadkar likes to take dick up the ass. I didn't know that before, but it makes perfect sense.
If you ctl-F "nightclub" in the comments you'll find a spicy anecdote regarding the fudgepacking taoiseach.
Africans have zero business being in Ireland. They belong there as much as hyenas belong in the Arctic.
Hey I can’t find the anecdote. Can you post a link?
🤣🤣🤣
Varadkar was projecting. He accused them of is what he himself is. The masks he claims they hide behind are the ones he puts on to look into the camera. He is the cowardly champion, easily led into darkness.
He will not divide Ireland.
A couple of years ago, the then-Prime Minister of Finland, the very comely Sanna Marin, was filmed in a nightclub dancing with a man who wasn’t her spouse. The Irish papers all reported on it rather breathlessly.
Shortly after, the Irish prime minister, who is gay, was filmed in a gay nightclub in Dublin with his tongue jammed down the throat of a young man who isn’t the one he’s paired up with.
The powers that be arranged for the video to be removed from the internet as far as possible.
The response of the Irish papers was to remind the great unwashed that the private life of their politicians was strictly private and that only lowlifes would comment on such a video.
Some of the worst people in the world.
Hell needs an extra circle for them.
I think this is it:

It was gone for a while- please warn people though, it’s a revolting video.
You're right that there was a concerted effort to scrub it, and Tiktok did remove it.
The fact that it's revolting is the point though.
Disgusting leaders create disgusting countries.

I would never vote for a gay male as my PM. He might be a great guy and competent. Put him in cabinet. But I am married with three sons and four grandchildren. This is THE CENTRAL point of my life. Not my job or my net worth or my hobbies. This is something a gay person can never fully understand. Or, for that matter, a childless person. Again, I have great friends who are childless. Smart people. Good politics. But they don’t understand that part of my life. I want a leader who considers first and foremost the impact of their decisions on children and family life.
It didn’t end there. They would have taken it further. Very likely his partner would have shrugged it off. It isn’t as big a no-no in the gay community as it is among us heteros. (I mistyped heteros as hsteros. Auto correct turned it to haters! Coincidence?)

Learn from the left how to turn protests into political capital. Immediately reframe all imprisoned rioters as demonstrators, put their names on posters and call them political prisoners, demand their release. If they get released, you have empowered the radical base. If they are kept, they become a cause galvanizing the sympathizers. The Irish should know how that works.
Bingo.
The mostly peaceful protests in Ireland proves one thing:
That mass-murder and enslavement of indigenous white populations are the entire point of mass-migration; the political and medial response both shows this clear as day, and also prove assumptions that the multicultural agenda isn't just a virtue signalling fad or cynical ploy by the rich and famous.
Media, civili servants, police, fire dep. and so on all showed up en masse not to support their own people but to follow orders issued by the traitors in office.
Same as here.
Can confirm your assumptions re: Sweden and slavery, et c. It's been tried a couple of times and was laughed off. Instead, the startegy is and has been since the 1970s to guilt-trip us with the Great Lie that poverty in Africa is our fault, somehow in someway never really specified or defined.
The reason it worked in the first place is a deep-seated guilt among the generations born before the 1980s: That we didn't go to war to aid Finland against the USSR, and that we (read: major banks and capitalist clans of industrialists) played Axis and Allies against the profit margin to stay out of WW2. Sweden holds the dubious distinction of being the only nation who had to pay reparations to all sides in that war, including Germany.
For people of my age and older, there's a smidgen of lingering guilt about this, despite not having been around then. That guilt plus our leadership caste's sense of grandiosity thinking us a "humanitarian superpower" (actual quote) and morally superior to all others is the ideological bear-trap we've set for ourselves.
Swedish regime and state media initially reported the stabbings as the work of "irish nazis". This has been scrubbed since, but no corrections published. Such an ugly tactic, and it still works. Sadly, the swedes who are coming around to realise that we are in it deep, are still largely in the "where can we move to get away"-mindset. The backed-into-a-corner feeling isn't really there yet.
I really hope the irish can convince the Garda to remember that the first duty of a policeman (or a soldier) is the wellbeing of the people, not the state or the ruler or the capitalists.
Familj, fränder, folk, fosterland.
Family, kith&kin, people, motherland.
That's the chain of loyalty and duty. No guesses as to why all liberal, capitalist, communist and progressive politics have always assaulted the family. Destroy the family and all else follows.
Ah, yes I forgot the WWII connection. Exacerbated of course because while Sweden was formally neutral, many young Swedish men served with the Finns against Stalin, and many others joined the SS Viking division. And of course, in the period before the war, Sweden was giving lessons to Germany on racial hygiene.
What any of that has to do with Infinity Africans is not at all obvious, but then none of this is about logic.
Ca 5 500 voluinteers made it to Finland, most of the "retired" military. Fully supported by the swedish people, the only reason more volunteers didn't go to Finland was that the Soviet Union made it clear that if that happened, it would consider it as an act of open war. On top of that, we bought so much ammunition from Germany to give to the finns, the germans almost had to delay their offensive against Poland. Not to mention donating more than half our airforce at the time, such as it was.
The support to Finland is a point of pride and shame at the same time. When the war-time coalition governement didn't formally joined Finland but instead stopped volunteers from going, it was seen as a betrayal of our ancestral brother-people (broderfolk, hard to translate the meaning) by the swedish people. So was the lack of support shown Denmark as well as allowing Germany to transit troops through Sweden.
The reasons for this are many but boil down to two things:
Fear of invasion, either by Britain, USSR or Germany, to take control of natural resources and strategic territory. And:
Strong pressure put upon politicians from our domestic capitalists, such as the Wallenberg-family, who made fortunes acting as money-laundering services and proxies for german companies, top ranking german officials and Germany itself; the banking clans and capitalists of Sweden were virtually 100% aligned with Germany because they saw it as part of the fight against democracy, workers' rights and unionisation.
Fewer than 300 volunteered to serve in the german forces, and those voluneteers were largely misfits, criminals and what few actual nazis there were. Barely a hundred of them qualified for combat duty.
Anyone wondering where we - as a people and the actual nation - stood need just consider the ration; 5 500+ volunteers to help the finns (not to forget the tens of thousands of children the finns got to send to us, to keep the children safe from the war) vs. barely 300 misfits no-one cared about or supported.
I hadn't realized it was so few in SS Viking. Amazing that the Swedish left makes such a big deal about it.
If they didn't, people would instead talk about the hundreds of families from the Northland who on orders from the Coimmunist Party went to the Soviet Union in the 1930s.
A bare handful returned and were silenced and shunned by the party, even to this day.
The reason being, the Soviet Union wasn't what the party had told them, but "Die Partei hat immer recht" isn't just a (east) german thing.
Or people could talk about the fact that the Communist Party was openly pro-Hitler and pro-nazi until Germany attacked the Soviet Union. Then they were openly por-Stalinist until the 1970s, when they were openly and publicly loudly pro-Pol Pot.
That's why they need to use a paltry handful of straw all the time: the things the woke love to abuse simply aren't there in our history, and the dirt that is, was largely done by the Socialist Party themselves (such as the racial biology-stuff that so impressed the germans, that came from the socialists).
I hope to see the day when Ireland throws off an occupation far more insidious and evil than the English ever dreamed of being. It has always baffled me how they could spend so long fighting for independence and identity and then almost immediately turn around and sell it all down the river for trinkets. Like, what was even the point?
As an Anglo, I'm offended by their fecklessness. On the other hand it's not like Britain is doing any better.
Britain at least has the excuse of having bled itself dry in two World Wars and having been publicly stripped of all remaining prestige and reduced to vassalage during the Suez Crisis. Ireland has no such excuses on offer.
The Irish fight rather ineffectually. The only reason they even got independence is because the British left of the day decided to support them. And now that they have independence it seems they have no idea how to handle it.
Great essay.
“Another possibility is that the managerial class, having found the indigenous White populations troublesomely creative, independent, and hard to control, has elected to turn satire into reality, and dissolve the people and elect another.”
Exactly my analysis. I would substitute “managerial class” for “the controllers.” This is third-rail territory but if we continue not to see it crystal clearly at this stage of the cancer, the children of the world are heading into an unprecedented dark age. Also note: creativity and independence are an acquired taste, nourished by many Western values. But they are color-blind. The tactic of migrant and immigrant FLOODING sabotages assimilation and prevents the acquired taste from developing.
Indeed, they can be learned, to a certain degree. But only so far. There is also an innate predisposition that can only be inherited. In any case, that doesn't change the result: flooding the zone prevents newcomers from assimilating, but also leads to genetic dilution, in the long run.
As for the controllers, they are less in control than they like to imagine.
Eh, I don't agree on the genetic predisposition. I grew up in California among 3rd and 4th generation Asians and Hispanics, and they all "acquired the taste". Admittedly it does take a few generations and it can't happen when the floodgates are thrown open. (Also, admittedly, my neighborhood was fairly affluent so there's a built in selection bias.)
Hispanic doesn't really have any biological meaning. It covers everything from full-blooded Mayan to direct descendant of the conquistadors, and most of them are far more European than they are anything else.
True, as one such mostly-European person, I concur. But what about the Asians?
The Asians are a better example of it being learnable and therefore not entirely innate, however, so far it's mostly confined to Japan. I've often heard Chinese immigrants remark that while they do quite well academically, they can't quite fathom the ability of Europeans to think laterally.
I supervise two Chinese immigrants. One is capable of very broad thinking, I trust him to handle things the way I would (adjusting for experience/seniority). The other one is a bit more narrow, conforming more to your stereotype. Interestingly though, I think the second one would be more on board, ideologically, with the topics covered in your blog (compared with the first).
Regarding Japanese vs. Chinese. Lately I've started to wonder about language and how it functions as a carrier for far more information than we might assume on the surface. It is the analog of DNA on the astral plane. Thus, I think language plays an important role in how a people collectively behaves, as much possibly as physical DNA. As a language, Japanese is distantly related to Turkish. Thus, it may carry some Western Asiatic behavioral patterns that would not exist with people who speak Chinese languages.
So when non-European immigrants come to Western countries: if their grandchildren learn English as a first language I do think they end up behaving as Westerners. There's only one racial group that seems not to do that, no matter how many generations they speak English (or a variant thereof).
The Asians aren't doctrinal commies - AT ALL. They're inveterate traders, in point of fact. They LOVE to haggle and get the better of a deal, but they've been cowed by Tianamen and the tanks. I have a some great anecdotes from my time living there, but I'll sum it by saying that they've survived a LOT of brutal emperors and dynasties across their history. The current CCP sociopaths have only been in power for 75 years. By Chinese standards, that's not even a drop in the bucket. It's too bad that our leaders have taken Mao's work as an instruction manual at how to subdue a population. We would do well to remember that it's the Chines government is OUR enemy, not the Chinese populace. I would import a SHIT-TON of hardworking, intelligent, free-minded Chinese and let them build infrastructure to support themselves in various places. (You ever notice how there are self-contained, self-sufficient "Chinatowns" everywhere in the world and they don't depend upon government subsidies?)
If you think California of all places has "acquired a taste" for freedom, then I've a Golden Gate Bridge to sell you.
That was decades ago, before it got really communist. Believe it or not, not everybody who lives there is on board with what's going on.
My understanding is the outside the big cities the regime is widely hated.
Indeed. Talk to my uncle, a 2nd Amendment loving ex-Marine.
Enough are to win routinely elections with 60% of the vote.
The way I see it, on one end of the genetic spectrum there is inbreeding. Everyone agrees that this is a disastrous genetic outcome. On the other end of the spectrum, at best, there is a rich genetic mix, intelligence (if selection is done well), resistance to unfavorable recessive gene-driven diseases and manifestations. At worst, it is another story. But it is always another story at worst.
Eugenic breeding is the happy compromise. No inbreeding, as after all recessive disorders degrade the genome; but breeding partners must be carefully selected for compatibility and quality.
Icelandic studies indicate that the sweet spot, for fertility at least, happens around the third cousin level.
I have no problem with intelligent breeding based on quality, compatibility and free choice to create a robust, loving family unit. There are intangibles like scent which operate in the background to signal compatibility. The thing just goes on its own steam under the right conditions (culture).
I think culture needs to consciously chosen to encourage the right breeding patterns. Our modern Western culture is highly dysgenic and will come crashing down because of it.

Been way too long since I watched that.
They really don't make 'em like they used to.
Just think of how many great movies we can remake in the future to correct the awful mistakes of the last decade.
great clip! i never saw that movie. and now i have to.
The goal is for it to become socially unacceptable to acknowledge the truth. In doing so, people live in a false reality.
When people can't talk, they can't come to agreements. This keeps people from organizing, and pushing for change.
That's the entire goal of everything PC (Politically Correct). It's about limiting speech around specific topics.
That's why they're going to come down on the protesters, because they went around the PC control mechanism.

Thank you for this. Saw the atrocity that triggered it, but was encouraged to see the reaction it elicited.
A couple thoughts from this USian of mixed white ancestry, part Nebraska/Missouri English, part Pennsylvania Deutsch:
1) Push, and then push some more. Elections only go so far in this heavily censored and herded world in the West, and are only so efficacious, but but still worth the effort. Perhaps couple this with general strikes, and publicity from foreign news services not under the thumb of the EU, comprador state that Ireland now is. Protests right up to the limit the law permits, and when protesters are abused by the State, use this to fuel future even larger protests. Tie these tactics together; one stick can be snapped, but bundle them together and that is no longer so easy.
2) Shame the government and their vital partners in crime, the media. Stand on their feet, and shout in their faces, relentlessly.
3) While Roman Catholicism in Ireland has fallen in the estimation of much of the public, the Irish have their own noble tradition of Christianity upon which to draw. The feckless wreckers who gave the Roman Catholic Church such an blow are, more likely than not, the sort who align with the Anti-Pope, Bergoglio. As with the trad Catholics in the US, who know that no sympathy can be looked for from those people and the hierarchy that they have suborned, they nonetheless live their understanding of the Faith. Perhaps, by looking toward the ancient Irish Christian Church, something like this can be initiated among the people of Faith in Ireland that can give structure and a spiritual backbone to those who wish to return Ireland to the Irish, a nation which struggled for so long to throw off foreign domination, only to in one generation sell their birthright like Esau for a mere bowl of soup.
You have companions in this no doubt drawn out struggle over here who wish you well.
I found this post linked at Western Rifle Shooters Association blog, just so you know.
Thanks for letting me know how you came here; I've noticed traffic coming in from WRSA a few times recently.
No question that a spiritual spine is desperately needed. Whether Roman Catholicism is the answer to that remains to be seen.
Speaking as someone French (with a drop of Irish blood) from across the pond, ici in North-America; God bless the Irish and sincerely hope they rise to greater heights to throw out this foreign occupation. I love Irish culture and people, if anyone should be spared from the ravages of Globalism it is they.
