    After months of threats, The Guardian newspaper of London has revealed the shocking news that my editor at Passage Press is a cultured, witty, athletic, and handsome family man who goes by the Twitter handle @Lomez. Although The Guardian's exhaustive doxxing ran pictures of uninvolved randos like Kyle Rittenhouse, they didn't run any of the...
  • The only iSteve commenter possessing the virtues ascribed to Lomez is J.Ross.

    Reason, experience, and common sense all conspire to motivate us all so that we nominate, vote for, and secure the presidency for J.Ross.

    J.Ross for president. Sailer can hold his coat.

    This is the beginning of Pfizer $teve’s IRS audit. President Trump will be a convicted felon in a week or two, imprisoned by August, and Pfizer $teve is next

    Anti-vaxxers like Meatloaf and Marc Bernier will soon be making a live television special from hell on how they were right to not take the vaccine.

    Special guest Satan will deliver a speech on how being a libertarian supporter means so much to him. In every public health crisis the correct response is to get on TV and talk about the virtues of minimal government. He will also talk about how Rand was right to support smoking.

    from hell on how they were right to not take the vaccine

For Vivek, they would have to go and look for skeletons in his closet and like Romney they would probably come up with pretty slim pickins - some molehill that the media would try to pump up into a mountain but people have gotten pretty savvy about this.

    But Trump has a veritable ossuary on display in his front yard, no shovels required. For his partisans, they don't GAF.

    The plagiarism allegations keep coming (and can be proved but also can dismissed as unimportant) but nothing more seems to be happening with the data allegations. She didn't give up her data at the time that it was questioned and enough years have passed that she can say that the data no longer exists. That it got "lost". So I don't think they are going to be able to pin her on that.

    You have to understand that there's a big difference between what happens when they WANT to get you and when they don't. The faculty already views this as an attack from outside the university and by hated conservatives so this is very much the latter. They will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into this (but that was true of the Corporation also). Ultimately, as much as they love her, the University is more important than any individual, even a black female one, and if she becomes a liability there will come a point where they have to throw her overboard regardless, as the Corporation just did.

    Kissinger was a Jewish supremacist, an elitst, a genocidal, pro-coporate, American imperalist and shill of the military-industrial complex. He engineered multiple state couples in the Third World against popularly elected officials to protect American corporate interests oil interests. He was also a shill of the military-industrial complex. He fomented multiple wars abroad which allowed him to kill two birdds with one stone. Namely: protecting and safeguarding strategic resources and markets for American business interests, while fueling hundreds of billions of Dollars from American taxpayers to the military-industrial complex in contracts to fight thgose wars of capitalist interest, for which he earned massive comissions from Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Chrysler, DuPont Chemicals and EG&G. Like Noam Chomsky said about him:

    "Kissinger was the closest thing to a flesh-and-bone embodiment of the idea of the Devil."

    Preached forgiveness, "turn the other cheek" --> conservatives/Republicans are the biggest supporters of Capital Punishment and a judicial system based on retalation.

    - Embraced prostitutes, social rejects and other undesirables --> conservative/Republicans are the most hate-filled, discrimatory people on Earth and are openly hostile to pretty much any person with a different lifestyle to their own.

    Everyone knew she was senile but it didn't seem like she was about to suddenly drop dead. But when you are that age it's not unusual to do that. Here today, gone tomorrow.

    I do not think Biden’s feet will fit in Feinstein’s boots.

    But Biden and Feinstein share a common appetite for betraying America – Feinstein had a Chinese asset working with her, and Biden is a Chinese asset.

    Who would have guessed that the great whore spoken of in Revelation 17, “Babylon the great,”the city and the idea, the “mother of prostitutes,” (is there anything else in Biden’s administration?) “and of earth’s abominations” would be a man.

    Biden is simultaneously a zombie and an abomination. Just like Corvinus.

What do you call it when a politician takes someone else’s money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice.

    The kinds of people we need in government are precisely the kinds of people who are most reluctant to go into government — people who understand the inherent dangers of power and feel a distaste for using it, but who may do so for a few years as a civic duty. The worst kind of people to have in government are those who see it as a golden opportunity to impose their own superior wisdom and virtue on others.

    Putin understandably views this as an existential issue for Russia, and the Russian people seem to agree. After all, the US leaders say so.

    For the pipeline sabotage, the obvious winners--hence suspects--were the Ukrainians and to a lesser extent the Poles. (Any Russian gas had to flow through them, and the Russians couldn't try and wheedle the Germans.) When you move onto easy operational capability then you get the Americans and Brits.

    For the dam--assuming it wasn't just old and overfull from poor Russian management of the spring melt--I would first think the "Russians" as flooding serves as area denial and a Ukrainian offensive is expected.

    But freely confess, I don't know enough about the lay of land to tell whom it creates more difficulty for. And I certainly have zero insight into either side's military planning.

    Well done on the pipeline, especially since so many here were insisting that it was a CIA plot.

    Now, if a large dam blew up in Russia, we would naturally suspect the Ukrainians, so if a large dam blows up in Ukraine, it is natural to suspect the Russians.

    For the Russians to blame Ukraine for blowing up their own dam is just part of their usual disinformation playbook and should be given no weight. The Russians denied the Katyn Massacre and said that the Germans did it for 50 years until the regime changed. I am hoping that it will take much less than 50 years before the Russians admit their war crimes in Ukraine (and yes this is a war crime).

    So far no one here has blamed the CIA for the dam blast. Yet.

    Steve, thanks for laying out these points in such a logical way. My fear is that even if the Supreme Court did rule on each of these as you suggest, Harvard, Google, Goldman Sachs, etc. will just ignore them, or openly defy them, thereby daring straight white men to take their case to court. Given that their entire careers will be on the line and the resources (both in lawyers AND marketing power, not to mention all the liberal judges in lower courts) they'll be up against, it'll prove too much. Who's going to take them on in court for years and years, spending millions of dollars while Woke CEOs turn themselves into heroic matrys determined to die for social justice?

    The only real solution is a compromise. The best way to do this is to re-establish freedom of association for the private sector - if they want DEI/CRT, let them have it. But that means no public funding, no tax breaks, no non-profit status. All public institutions, and any organization receiving taxpayer money, must be strictly meritocratic and race cannot be considered. At least then there will be a sorting out and a multitude of options. It also gives some private organizations the strategic window to separate themselves from the pack. Let your competitors stay woke and make a dash for meritocracy and achievement! There will be some CEOs and College Presidents who will make that choice, then we'll see who rises and falls in market share and the rankings.

    If the Founders were so specific about which rights applied to whom, they should have been specific in the legal documents they created.

    They loved them some Roman history, larping like they were all Cato or Cicero. But they never thought that Roman History was full of non-Romans coming in during the Republic and Imperial periods and taking over. Gibbons was publishing his histories around that time. Perhaps they should have thought about the possibility of non-Anglos coming in and taking over. But they were too arrogant to think of that, although history that would have been available to them was full of such examples.

    The founders being lawyers and thus aware of the need for specific beneficiaries as is found in documents and probates means their vagueness about who got what rights was arrogantly myopic.

    I think their vanity might have played a part. Rather than be good, responsible lawyers with very specific details about who the 2nd and other amendments applied to, they wanted to be universal, because they wanted to impress their international audience. If they truly didn't believe in the universalist statements, they should have put it in the amendments, rather than in letters to each other.

    For all their pious pronouncements about how horrible political parties are, it's darkly amusing how quickly "factions" formed, and how that first generation took part in them.

    Also, for people who feared the mob, they only managed to keep "the mob" at bay for about 30 years until Andrew Jackson came in. That and them raising taxes on the populace the minute the Revolution was over.

    Who cares that they owned slaves, what is bad that they were a bunch of arrogant, hypocritical blowhards who created a paper anchor that will drag us all down eventually. The bill for their arrogance was put off because of the richness of North America, our geopolitical isolation, and the world wars. But it is coming due in this century.

  • This is the kind of thing that happens more in England than in heavily armed America.

    Interview after interview conducted with felons has confirmed that they are far more concerned and fearful of their prospective victims being armed than they are of the police. They know full well that the former are afforded a lower threshold for the use of lethal force than the latter are, especially if the former are at their own residences. The fact that American homes are likely to have armed owners definitely reduces “hot” burglaries* in the U.S. than in, say, the UK.

    *Burglaries where the residents are present and usually the burglars know that to be the case, but do not care. It is often conflated with “home invasions” in the U.S., but the two are, in the strictest sense, not the same. Home invasions typically include intentionally violent actions toward the victims, including sexual assault when women and girls are present.

    “Cold” burglaries – where the residents are not present – are much more common in the U.S. – this is typically preceded by someone observing the home and the life patterns of the residents, often from a getaway vehicle. The actual breaks-ins sometimes involve juveniles who are small enough to fit through unsecured windows. They usually go straight to the master bedroom and look for valuables and small residential security containers (wrongly called “safes” in common parlance) and know to get out within minutes.

    They generally try to avoid homes that are well-lit (esp. back entrances) and easily seen by neighbors, homes with security/camera systems, and those with dogs.

    This is true of home invasions conducted by our government, as in the September 2022 raid by 25 - 30 heavily armed agents on the home of the pro-life activist and father of 7, Mark Houck, terrorizing his children. He was acquitted of charges, but of course the message had been successfully delivered.

    In England, homeowners who kill intruders are routinely charged. The most famous case was that of Tony Martin, though that contains some ambiguity. A case from 2018 was reported in the Daily Mail.


    A 78-year-old homeowner has been arrested by murder detectives after a suspected burglar he fought with in his own kitchen died of a stab wound. The pensioner, named locally as Richard Osborn-Brooks, was upstairs asleep with his wife when he was woken by the two men breaking into his suburban home in Hither Green, south-east London last night. He was forced into his kitchen by one of the men, who was armed with a screwdriver, before a struggle ensued.

    The intruder, a 38-year-old man, was left with wounds to his chest and local residents say he collapsed in a neighbouring road and died in hospital. The homeowner was initially detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm but was later arrested on suspicion of murder. The case has been compared to that of Tony Martin, who was jailed for killing an intruder at his home in 1999.
     
    In 2005, listeners of the BBC were asked to suggest a piece of legislation that would improve their quality of life, with the promise that it would be introduced to Parliament. The winning proposal, with 26,000 votes, was to allow homeowners to use any means necessary to defend their home from intruders.

    Stephen Pound, the MP who was supposed to propose the legislation, described it as “a ludicrous, brutal, unworkable, blood-stained piece of legislation,” and added, “the people have spoken, the bastards!”

    So how come people now are predicting what will happen 80 years from now?

But in general the U.S. will be more or less like Latin America (Jews/Asians/Educated Whites at the top, then mixed race people and some prole whites at the bottom, with different shades of black (in general, the darker the colour the lower the class, but not always).

    Yes, I grant your observation that Trump is a bullshitter. That is what we expect to see from anyone in sales, and Trump is in sales to be sure. But my point is that DeSantis will betray us on not only immigration, but on economic nationalism and the devolution of power away from Washington DC. We need an immigration moratorium certainly. And we need all the undocumented invaders to be expelled. But we cannot hope to do so without economic nationalism. The puppetmasters that control the $ for DeSantis rely on globalism and cheap labor. They will not allow Ron to correct the essential problems that plague us.

    You are disappointed that Trump did not enact your program. I share your objectives, but I think Trump is better positioned to advance our shared agenda (unless I have misread you – which may be the case).

    I do not think DeSantis will tackle the biggest issue we face, namely, the entrenched bureaucracy. This is where we differ, brother. Once circumstances change, one of us will be compelled to accept the argument of the other. And if I am wrong, I will happily concede my failure to predict the future.

    He's right. That's not how white men fight. White men "fight" by throwing atomic bombs at the civilian targets of their enemies, like in Nagasaki or Hiroshima, so as to completely deny their enemy any sort of fighting chance so that there won't *be* a fight in the first place. In Nagasaki, about 50% of the victims were children under the age of 10.

    Or they spread smallpox to peoples that are completely devoid of immunity, killing millions in one go. There's that old joke how the two best commanders in the White Men's war against Amerindians were General Smallpox and Marshal Flu.

    This has always been the White Man's way to wage war: technological superiority to deny the enemy a fighting chance, usually with technologies either stolen(the chariot from the Assyrians) or adapted(gun powder from the Chinese) from other peoples, spreading pestilence and disease on a scale never seen before, sabotage and practicing "divide and conquer", that is how Europeans conquered both Africa andSouth Asia, by providing guns to mutual enemies so that they could kill each other, and then when both sides are weakened move in for the kill.

    White men have always been the most cowardly and treacherous fighters that the World has ever seen. Even white people recognized that the Sioux, the Pawnees and the Apaches were one-on-one superior warriors to white men in both courage and skill. White men won due to numbers, Old World technologies and, above all, by spreading pestilence.

    Well... the problem in a sense is that we know too much. We have plucked the low-hanging fruit.

    I've just read Richard Tilley's Colour and the Optical Properties of Materials: covers everything from the color of butterfly wings to how chemists make new dyes to how OLEDs work.

    And we understand all of it. In principle.

    There is not a hint that anything is going on that is not explained by electromagnetic theory and quantum mechanics.

    Now, in practice, a lot of the relevant calculations are intractable, even with modern computing technology. So, you make reasonable approximations and then go into the lab to make careful measurements to refine your calculations.

    And the lab techniques, especially the techniques to actually fabricate various nano-structures, are quite challenging.

    But everything in ordinary life -- from stellar structure to biochemistry to the physics of materials and the physics of color -- appears to be described by the physics we already know.

    There are only two proverbial "clouds on the horizon."

    First, there is the weirdness of quantum mechanics. QM is stunningly accurate, but no one has an adequate answer to the Schrödinger's cat and similar paradoxes.

    Second, there is consciousness: no one understands how consciousness fits into the physical world.

    However, no one has any idea how to solve those two problems and almost no academic research in physics is focused on them.

    And most of the academic science that I know of in physics or engineering that shows any hope of applications in the real world is in fact done better in industry than in academia.

    If anything, there is more pressure to "produce" short-term but trivial results in the academic world than in industry, due to the funding mechanisms.

    Yeah, Congress probably hopes that funding academic research in fundamental physics will lead to discoveries like the transistor or the Bomb. I don't know any physicist who thinks that is likely.

    Oh, the reason is clear -- it is precisely because I do not think Jews rule the world and I do not think everyone of Jewish descent is evil, but nonetheless I am willing to document the evils of Jewish culture and Jewish religion.

    I'm not a Jew-hater, any more than I am an Indian hater or a Mexican hater or whatever.

    But although I do not hate Indians, I am willing to say that Hinduism is evil for propping up the caste system.

    And similarly, while I do not hate Mexicans, I am willing to say that the Aztec religion was evil for its human sacrifice and cannibalism.

    That is why I have angered Jack D so much: I tell the truth about Judaism.

    The Old Testament documents in horrific detail that the ancient Israelites invented the idea of killing for the sake of religion. It's not that other ancient peoples never killed innocents, but there is not much record of Assyrians or Persians or Romans killing solely for the sake of religion.

    But the Old Testament glorifies precisely that.

    The Holocaust of the three thousand in Exodus 32; the mass murder of the priests who officiated outside of Jerusalem in 2 Kings 23; and on and on and on.

    And worst of all, the macabre celebration year after year after year, century after century after century, of the angel of the Lord killing the first-born children of Egypt.

    It is as if we had a holy day, a family-oriented celebration, every year in which we celebrated the murder of six million Jews by Hitler!

    Jack D hates me because I have pointed out these publicly known facts, even though I do not hate Jews.

    That is much, much worse from his view than if I simply hated Jews as people.

    When I started pointing out the evils of Judaism a few months ago, Jack D's response was (see here):

    You know, I thought that my opinion of you could not go any lower but I was wrong about that.

    1. I am a White gentile. I used to feel that WW2 was the “good war “ as Studs Terkel rated it. Now , the more I learn the less I can feel any pride in it . I feel revulsion for the fire bombings of so many Japanese cities in 1945 in addition to the nuclear bombs. Even , MacNamara admitted in the 2002 documentary that he and Le May would have been tried as war criminals had USA lost. Other USA veterans regret their role in attacking defenceless German cities.
    I now think that an armistice could have been reached with both Germany and Japan if we had not insisted on unconditional surrender. The Allies gave the axis pair reason to fight to the last man e.g. Morgenthau Plan. Many America lives would have been saved , and so too Jews in camps.
    And as we needed West German and Japanese cooperation to fight the Cold War we ended up not acting in the worst impulses that impelled the Morgenthau Plan. Or firebombing Japan.

    So, no , I don’t celebrate WW2. I encourage fellow Whites to see Band of Brothers as propaganda to try to cohere an unravelling empire. And Dick Winters must have regretted the teenage children soldiers be shot. And despite his on screen rationale he must have been ashamed by his soldiers looting of German homes and forcing Germans to labor and clean up a CC whose disarray was the point of Allied bombing.

    Oh, c'mon!

    The OT is just soaked in blood. I take it you have not actually read it. Look at Joshua and Judges or at the cites I gave above.

    Yes, other ancient peoples were also very bloody-minded. But the ancient Israelites invented the idea of mass murder for specifically religious reasons. I gave examples; it is easy to find numerous other examples from the OT.

    You cannot find similar examples of mass murder for specifically religious reasons from the Romans, the Persians, etc.

    It is a Jewish thing.

    And, as ruthless as the Romans et al. were, no one today celebrates that ruthlessness, no one glorifies it in their Holy Scriptures.

    But to this day, the Jews do.

    Chuckles also asked me:

    I would like to see them in jail. I know where they live, but I have certainly not tried to kill them.

    And they are actually (they admitted to it!) guilty. The first-born of ancient Egupt in the Exodus myth, like the women and children in the Holocasuts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were innocent.

    Innocence matters.

    But of course you lack the moral capacity to see that difference.

    You, Chuckles, are just as evil as the ancient Jews.

    But you are morally blind to such facts.

    Trump was better than any Biden, CamelToe, AOC, etc. could ever be because, "first, do no harm". I appreciate that stuff. His saying that ONLY he could do "all this" is his ego, which is retarded.

    Look, multiple additional Trillions of bucks were spend on the "Cares Act" while Trump was President. Yes, the stock market was rising, but we all know that's a game of musical chairs. Trump bragged about this, but he was just lucky it hadn't all toppled yet, as it will. His work on immigration was stellar in a way, but it was only based on his somehow being President-for-Life. (Is that what he figured, with Javanka as his successor?) His best moves (and, yes, deals) were below-the-radar changes in the way ICE/BP and refugee bureaucracies operated. None of it was put into law as part of a real political deal. Therefore, DAY 1 of Bai Dien - whoooosh, ... and it's gone.

    "Spectrum of Initiatives"? I'd call it a "Spectrum of Bullshit", as most of what Trump talked about, he never even started to follow through on. (Yes, I know he meant well. It was not lies, just bullshit, in the immortal words of Elwood Blues.)

Now, after 4 years after the bumbling Javanka-based tweet-fest that was the Trump Presidency, I don't believe this guy has ANY solid plans to back up his words.

    Trump believes what he wrote there. That's not enough. I remember his words from '16-'17 about both terminating NATO and kicking out the UN. He made no action on either. He's a bullshitter. Ron DeSantis, from everything I've seen before, is not.

    Intelligent Dasein did not offer any argument for me to refute: he simply asserted ex cathedra that "biomolecular genetics" is "pseudoscientific."

    That is so utterly bizarre that it merits only ridicule, not a refutation.

    But, hey, I'll indulge you...

    My wife has a Ph.D. in biology: I have worked with her to analyze different protein amino-acid sequences in different species (back before there was software that would do this trivially).

    So, I actually do have first-hand, hands-on knowledge that "biomolecular genetics" is definitely not pseudo-science.

    Beyond that, tens of thousands of biologists and chemists over the last seventy years have done research in "biomolecular genetics" using the standard scientific method, the same scientific method used in physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, etc. If "biomolecular genetics" is pseudo-science, then so also must be the work in all those other sciences.

    And that is insane.

    Finally, if you wish to dismiss all pure research like that as being pseudo-science, you still have to face the fact that "biomolecular genetics" has also been used successfully in concrete applied applications, specifically to create genetically modified organisms.

    Now, perhaps you do not like GMOs, but they do exist, and they could not have been created by biologists if "biomolecular genetics" were indeed pseudo-science.

    It is the same argument that I give to occasional people who argue that physics is all nonsense:

    Fine: if you believe that find out the next time someone (maybe the North Koreans) are testing a nuclear weapon. And stand beside it.

    Because those weapons were designed on the basis of our knowledge of physics. If physics is nonsense, then the weapon will not work.

    The same goes for GMOs: if "biomolecular genetics" is nonsense, the GMOs could not be created.

    Of course, making this argument just causes the other guy to switch his argument to saying that we scientists are evil monsters.

    Which, by your standards, we indeed are.

    We scientists are the evil monsters who have made it very, very difficult for human beings to continue to believe in the comforting lies that they have cherished for so many millennia.

    And, to tell you the honest truth, I, and quite a few other scientists, look at this and see that this is good.

    You have missed the point. Your worldview is built on material fundamentalism, based on the claim that something came from nothing (but ex nihilo nihil fit). The speed of light is constant (Is the speed of light fixed?), etc. You have other assumptions, which you take on faith, such as middle-school biology (evolution is true, humans are nothing but a physical-chemical-biological animal). Your Ph.D. wife does too. Given your assumptions, you see an effect and proceed to infer a Physicist-Dave-assumption-based cause.

    Maybe evolution is true – as my great uncle would say, “I wasn’t there.” But given Gö del’s criticism, as reported here:
    Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity

    I believe that mechanism in biology is a prejudice of our time which will be disproved. In this case, one disproof, in my opinion, will consist in a mathematical theorem to the effect that the formation within geological time of a human body by the laws of physics (or any other laws of similar nature), starting from a random distribution of the elementary particles and the field, is as unlikely as the separation by chance of the atmosphere into its components.

    and Scott Aaronson’s explanation:

    He [Gödel] does not ask whether evolution can eventually form a human body (for he knows that it can, given exponential time); instead, he asks whether it can do so on a “merely” geological timescale.

    I observe that your assumptions do not provide enough time. But an omnipotent being does not need exponential time. If Gödel is correct and evolution is accurate, God provides the necessary and sufficient conditions to realize the effects you attribute to chance. Your position has the same strength as a geocentric view of the universe.

    You claim you need not defend your position because you can appeal to authority. That worked well with the Wuhan virus, didn’t it? You resorted to name-calling because you either do not think you can defend your position or you are too lazy to do so.

    Intelligent Dasein did not offer any argument for me to refute: he simply asserted ex cathedra that "biomolecular genetics" is "pseudoscientific."

    That is so utterly bizarre that it merits only ridicule, not a refutation.

    But, hey, I'll indulge you...

    My wife has a Ph.D. in biology: I have worked with her to analyze different protein amino-acid sequences in different species (back before there was software that would do this trivially).

    So, I actually do have first-hand, hands-on knowledge that "biomolecular genetics" is definitely not pseudo-science.

    Beyond that, tens of thousands of biologists and chemists over the last seventy years have done research in "biomolecular genetics" using the standard scientific method, the same scientific method used in physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, etc. If "biomolecular genetics" is pseudo-science, then so also must be the work in all those other sciences.

    And that is insane.

    Finally, if you wish to dismiss all pure research like that as being pseudo-science, you still have to face the fact that "biomolecular genetics" has also been used successfully in concrete applied applications, specifically to create genetically modified organisms.

    Now, perhaps you do not like GMOs, but they do exist, and they could not have been created by biologists if "biomolecular genetics" were indeed pseudo-science.

    It is the same argument that I give to occasional people who argue that physics is all nonsense:

    Fine: if you believe that find out the next time someone (maybe the North Koreans) are testing a nuclear weapon. And stand beside it.

    Because those weapons were designed on the basis of our knowledge of physics. If physics is nonsense, then the weapon will not work.

    The same goes for GMOs: if "biomolecular genetics" is nonsense, the GMOs could not be created.

    Of course, making this argument just causes the other guy to switch his argument to saying that we scientists are evil monsters.

    Which, by your standards, we indeed are.

    We scientists are the evil monsters who have made it very, very difficult for human beings to continue to believe in the comforting lies that they have cherished for so many millennia.

    And, to tell you the honest truth, I, and quite a few other scientists, look at this and see that this is good.

    To quote that cheerfully uplifting verse by Matthew Arnold:

    The Sea of Faith
    Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore
    Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
    But now I only hear
    Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
    Retreating, to the breath
    Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
    And naked shingles of the world.

    “The vast majority of the colonists were of British origin”

    Context is key. And of course you had different groups of English—Puritans, Pilgrims, Scots-Irish, Welsh, families of low and high class.

    https://www.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/23122_Chapter_3.pdf

    —In commenting about the population composition of the 17th century, historian Mildred Campbell remarked:

    For despite the Dutch on the Hudson, and small groups of Swiss, Swedes, Finns, and French Huguenots pocketed along the coast, the small vessels which set out on the American voyage were chiefly English built and English manned. Their cargoes, moreover, consisted largely of Englishmen and, later and in smaller numbers, Englishwomen. Even the Scots and Irish, who in the next century would crowd the harbors of the New World, were a minority in the first century.

    —By the early 18th century, however, an important change in immigration dramatically altered the population mix. As Stephen Steinberg observed:

    The simple truth is that [the] English were not coming in sufficient numbers to populate the colonies. . . .If there were no compelling “pull” factors luring Englishmen to America, nei- ther were there potent “push” factors. In fact, after 1718 labor shortages at home induced the British government to place restrictions on emigration, especially of skilled artisans and other laborers needed in Britain’s nascent industries. It was this scarcity of emigrants from Britain that induced colonial authorities to permit the immigration of non-English nationalities.

    Because history does matter, in anything to to with the Sacred Cow Numinous Negro, the first issue is to know Who Created Whom to use against Whom?

    In short, the Yankee WASP made the Negro the Scared Cow Numinous Negro in order to wage culture wear against the South and Southerners, which would morally justify all the dead in
    'the Civil War' as well as all the theft by regional elites during Reconstruction. And like all such things the enemies list did not stay short. Large numbers of Irish Catholics made certain that the same Who group would make them another against Whom group. After all, the largest anti-draft riot during the sacred war to free the Numinous Negro was in NTYC and was largely Irish, and most of the leaders always coming back to asserting that they, buried in poverty, had no desire to die to free some other peoples;lke that the rich of NYC already were beginning to coddle at every opportunity.

    And then as Irish were the primary foundation of the world's first truly professional place force in NYC, cops had to become bad, because surly they existed just to harass the dusky hued angels. If not, then the basis of the NYC PD would have been black.

    And so America's actual race war, white elites using Negroes as weapons and tools against the whites they hate and fear, or just find icky, not only has been never ending but now has been made global.

    If you fail to address how things became as they are, you sure are not going to take corrections. The great problem here is that buried deep in the minds and hearts of the Deep State and the elite whites of America is that if they were to undue any of that, they would ben exposed as just another set of self=righteous thugs who use idiots to wage proxy wars to make themselves richer and more powerful. And blacks are far from sharp enough figure out how that game always hurts the black community as a whole.

    Is there a way to change any of that without essentially clearing away all off the Deep State elite types? I doubt it. And I expect them to keep pushing to advance hatred of White worldwide.

    That’s nice, but it should be obvious that the topic here is modern pop/rock music, not symphonies or long-form jazz or whatnot. Those are different categories, and cannot be judged as readily as individual pop/rock songs (or albums of the same, given proportionate time per song).

    Pink Floyd, as mentioned above, could be a hybrid—‘radio-friendly’ songs plus long-form ‘concept album’ compositions. Even for the latter, one non-distracted real-time album run through should be enough for a listener to determine if they want to hear it again (sometimes immediately).


    When I asked you for samples of music that you liked, one of them was by an otherwise forgettable band with an attractive blonde front woman. [e.a.]
     
    NTTAWWT :) We also like hot brunettes, see Dum Dum Girls. And ‘redheads’, see ’90s Miki Berenyi. ;)

    If you’re talking about the cheeky song “Very Online Guy” by Alvvays, I recall you correctly praised it (in a since-deleted tweet) as being “catchy” and having “clever lyrics”. But I’m not sure how many replays it took you to determine that…

    and at last count no commenters agreed with that

    I take Dave’s side in this disagreement. And I don’t care about the citation of four others that share your perspective, nor whether they qualify as disagreements in detail. Even if I did, numbers do not make you right – and you ought to know that.

    Read it again Mr. Wilson, I accounted for that with this caveat:

    That doesn’t mean you [Dave] are automatically wrong, but your belated defense is weak and sidesteps the subject …
     
    CEW, I appreciate your chivalry, but do you have anything to add beyond an attaboy for our friend Dave? Any music appreciation theory of your own?


    Note: My comments are certainly not a personal attack on Mr. Pinsen (I like Dave!), it’s just a clinical internet diagnosis of musicagnosia based on evidence submitted by Dave himself (playlists and stated criteria for evaluating music).

    I can see how it could feel personal, because, like with Lex Fridman’s tragic booklist assignments, not everyone is tough enough to have their tastes, and by implication, intellect judged publicly—unless one is genuinely going for a lovable goofball vibe or whatever. But Dave, apparently, is serious that his music opinions be taken seriously. And so I have.

  • The only way to make sense of the MSM's freakout over blacks killing a black in Memphis is that they think like this: Because we _know_ that blacks are morally superior to whites, this proves how out of control police brutality must be if even black cops commit it!
  • @Colin Wright
    I think this is kind of like a Christian reaffirming to himself his continued faith in the existence of a benevolent, merciful God when he sees what appears to be evidence to the contrary.

    Memphis does not trigger reflections of 'maybe we were wrong,' but declarations of continued and unqualified faith.

    After all, all this is ultimately religious in a sense. It is not drawn from observed evidence, but from a priori conviction in a set of principles -- racial equality, etc -- and a refusal to allow anything at all to qualify that conviction.

    There could be -- quite probably are -- a hundred Memphises. The true believers would simply cling all the harder to that rock.

    No, it isn’t. You apostates disgust me. You are parasites living off the political and social capital of two millennia of Christians that made enormous sacrifices to give you your cushy and undeserved life. Your perspective is indistinguishable from the disgruntled teenager living in his/hers/its parent’s house and complaining about the accommodations.

    Get out of your parent’s house and make your way in the world.

    So sorry you're triggered by the word "theory." Although you've brought up something that's very different from what I've heard of the sting:


    pharma company making a cold or flu worse in a lab and testing it on many monkeys
     
    vs. creating new variants through serial passage through them. Can someone who's who's read a transcript or watched it clarify this point, because all I've heard is the latter.

    Let's move this to a different domain. One Jordan Tristan Walker works for a company that handles civilian electrical nuclear power spent fuel rods. He claims the company is diverting some of that to chemically isolate plutonium to make nuclear weapons. Due to decades of propaganda, this gets lapped up ... except you can't make weapons grade plutonium from fuel that's been in a reactor for much longer than a month. The mix of isotopes won't do the job, just like you can't use weapons grade for gun assembly bombs.

    I'm saying his claimed means won't accomplish the claimed end; this isn't like high school biology falsifiable "gene therapy!" but it's still pretty basic stuff. I interpret someone claiming his company is trying to do something that's impossible as him bullshitting.

    That of course doesn't answer the question of possible damage to the narrative from what he said and your theory of "Squirrel!" for this police killing ... although what happens when this incident is old news? In the meanwhile it's also not likely those inclined to trust Project Veritas to report honestly on what they filmed won't hear about this, and those who claim they're always liars won't continue to ignore anything they come up with, have seen a lot of that again about this latest in a Leftist infested discussion forum.

    Oh you are good, aren’t you? Your shift to another domain is a remarkable work of prestidigitation. The analogy you offer doesn’t just fail, it fails at the essential point of contention. Your claim is that this is just another ‘perpetual motion machine,’ but we know that the Sars-CoV-2 bioweapon was loosed upon humanity. How inconvenient for you! And that a drug maker, driven but enormous profits would not exploit the opportunity for self-enrichment through a lather-rinse-repeat process is inconceivable. Yes, aren’t you the champion of the everyday worker?

    And then the needless distraction. Really? Do ‘civilian electrical nuclear power spent fuel’ rods differ from non-civilian rods? (Vigorous hand-waving ensues!)

    I interpret someone claiming his company is trying to do something that’s impossible as him bullshitting.

    Hence, the dismissal of the Wuhan Lab leak because “that’s impossible.”

    The COVID-19 “kerfuffle” was just a myth, by your lights. It did not happen because it was impossible.

    How much does the IC pay you to post? Or are you on the Pfizer payroll?

    Don't put words in my mouth, which you could have easily avoided by reading anything I wrote in this topic and in the one I linked to. Before I consign your to Ignored Trollhood:


    but we know that the Sars-CoV-2 bioweapon was loosed upon humanity
     
    We know nothing of the sort, although the main difference between bioweapons researchers and true Mad Scientist gain of function ones is the latter publish their results, and I hope the former routinely use better than BSL-2 labs.

    Do ‘civilian electrical nuclear power spent fuel’ rods differ from non-civilian rods?
     
    They would only to the extent unpacking them while they're still thermally and radioactively very hot is easier. You completely ignored what I said about duration in a reactor being the only real difference, and how that results in massively different isotope mixes and the consequences of that. And of course the whole point of the analogy, what I've read the Pfizer guy as saying would not accomplish the claimed goal.

    Hence, the dismissal of the Wuhan Lab leak because “that’s impossible.”
     
    I've from the beginning, within the first few months due to the wet market hypothesis not panning out and/or SARS-CoV-2 being far too well adapted to humans thought "the Wuhan Lab leak" was by far the most likely explanation, and the more people like the DRASTIC team dig the more likely it looks. Said so at the end of my first comment in the linked topic.

    No amount of financial pay could motivate me to deal with people like you. My calling is SCIENCE!!! and thus the truth.
