Ben Shapiro Speaking at Stanford University (Calling Out the Woke Right)

                       

I am really grateful for Ben Shapiro's speech calling out the Alt-Right.

Six years later, we should call them "Woke Right."

"OK Boomer" -- Just Another Copout By Bitter Young(er) People

"OK Boomer!"



"Shut the F--- Up, Boomer!"

"Boomer cucks!"



How many of you have heard this name-calling?

I have been hit with this name a few times, too.

And I am not a Boomer! (I am not an animal, either, but that's another story for another day, with apologies to Jerry Seinfeld)

The truth is that one generation of people is looking for an excuse to blame another generation of people.

Granted, the Baby Boomer generation has a numnber of liberals, and many of them still have an attitude of entitlement.

But one cannot paint an entire group of people in one age demographic with such a broad brush.

The truth is, the segment of the population that runs to "OK Boomer" when things get rough, or when they want to disdain the opinion of others, they just mock them for their age.

I have worked with a number of Baby Boomers in MassResistance. The President of the Organization is a Baby Boomer.

I have also heard testimonies from Boomers who acknowledge that they did nothing, or at the very least did not do enough to stop the Marxist, regressive leftism that has become rampant in damaged urban areas around the United States.

They recognize that they did not fight hard enough. Some of them are stepping up and fighting back more than they had before.

But let's cut to the chase.

Young(er) people, it is time for you to take responsibility for your lives. It's not enough for you to keep clamoring how "The Boomers" ruined your lives. Take responsibility for the problems that you see in your communities, in your country, in your culture.

The Truth About Nick Fuentes: Left-Wing, Anti-American Fraud

I am merely isolating this part of my previous article for emphasis' sake.

Fuentes attended the "United the Right" Charlottesville

Then there was the Nick Fuentes debate.



It was really hard to understand what was going on. I was trying to this kid's debate points seriously, but they really weren't serious.

Or rather ... this guy really isn't right-wing or America First.

1. Fuentes said he would rather live in a fascist state.
2. He declared that a woman is worth half of a man.
3. He questioned the Holocaust, which is his right, but then he complains that he is not a white nationalist or a neo-Nazi or anything like that (yet he sure talks like one ...)
4. Then they went off on their anti-Semitic rants against me at the end of the "Debate".

These guys are not America First.

They are America Last, and they are Iran First, or rather Palestinian Terrorism first, or Ayatollahs first.

Look, they are entitled to their opinions, but the fact that they reject the equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their skin color, the fact that they are committed to some kind of "white nationalism" rather than American exceptionalism, and the fact that they have rejected a number of the United States' founding principles, both in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, pretty much goes to show that they are not America First.

A supporter made this for me.
Fuentes blocked the guy who made this

They are America Last, and any line of argument, radio shows, or anything in between that suggests otherwise is a total left-wing, collectivist fraud.

Hatred of Jews? Left-wing.

Hatred of Israel and opposition to recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel? Left-wing.

A commitment to racial segregation and ultimately separation? Left-wing.

Most importantly, however, when anyone claims that they would rather live in a fascist state than in a constitutional republic, there you have another left-winger, and someone who is as antithetical to the American experiment, to American exceptionalism.

Besides, fascism is a left-wing ideology.

Sorry, Nick. You are a fraud.

So here is the JQ once again ...

Why not Just Quit Nick Fuentes?

Bibi has a point here

Update:

Here's more (with more information to come):

Anti-Zionist, Anti-Jew Sentiment Among "Red-Pilled" Groups

First, I learned about how extensive the Holocaust denial industry has grown, but I also learned that more people are taking on these lies and not backing down.

I have sensed for the last year that a number of conservative outsiders have had a problem with Israel. They claim that the country engages in human rights abuses, that they have no right to the territory. There are further claims that fault intelligence from Israel induced the United States into wars in the Middle East.



Much of this is bunkum, of course, but why do these otherwise conservative "red-pilled" groups hate Israel?

One source informed me that the wacky reports on YouTube have seduced many of these younger minds to reject the Jewish State. The conspiracy theories spun out about a few paramilitary ventures under Israeli authority have fed this unfunded hatred of Israel. A number of videos that I have watched articulate that the whole Holocaust is made up or exaggerated. After watching these videos, however, the arguments offer nothing substantive to debunk the Holocaust.

What do they say about the testimonies of the thousands of survivors? Where did they get the tattooed numbers from? I find it hard to believe that there would be so many people of different nationalities who would fabricate such an elaborate scam. How about the massive video recordings of Germans dumping the dead bodies of gassed Jews into mass graves? I saw those videos as early as 7th grade. I defy anyone to claim that all of those videos were some kind of elaborate hoax.



William Shirer's book "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" is one of the most exhaustive histories on the Third Reich, including the Holocaust. The bureaucrats and and Nazi military thugs who designed and implemented the massive annihilation of targeted groups, starting with the disabled and mentally ill, then continuing with their genocidal plans against Jews, Gypsies, and other "undesirables". They also kept exhaustive records of all the people whom they murdered. The rolodex records, names, the extensive steps to legitimize Jews, expel them, sequester them, incarcerate them, then annihilate them was well-documented.

Some "intellects" cannot fathom that such evil resides in the hearts, the flesh of mankind, yet it's there.

Beyond that, there is a growing upset about "Jewish Elites" controlling the media. These wannabe conservatives have a growing outrage with Jews in general, though, because a large segment of them do lean left. There are a number of people of Jewish descent who work in the entertainment and media industries, too. These individuals then conclude that "The Jews" are the problem.

But wait ...

Not every liberal media mogul is Jewish. Rupert Murdoch is not Jewish, and yet many of these globalized anti-Zionists fervently believe that Murdoch is Jewish! It's crazy. There is no talking to them about this matter.

Many Jews in the media and in everyday life are conservative, at least those whom I have met and read about. I have met Orthodox Jews in West Los Angeles who affirm to me that they voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Ben Shapiro, Mike Levin, Dennis Prager, David Rubin are conservatives or classical liberals. How about Evan Sayet, who used to be a confirmed liberal, but rebelled against his left-wing peers and allied academics when they spent more time defending terrorists than fighting them.



This idea of a Jewish plot to take over the media, to take over the world is simply unsubstantiated, but it's not an old line of attack. Read "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and you will find out that for the last 150 years, the push to demonize Jews as an enemy to every civilized country where they live. These notes have been thoroughly debunked as a Czarist forgery meant to justify the savage pogroms against Jews in Russia.

And yet ...

There are the Red Elephants. Nick Fuentes, and an assortment of other alternative right-wing groups and speakers who hate Israel. One video outlined reasons why Christians should give up their "love affair" with Israel; however, the video snipped out video segments from a Jewish gathering which was not taking place in Israel to begin with!

Anti-Zionist lunacy on full display


Then there are stories about the "unjust" treatment of the Palestinians, along with the argument that Israel is an imperial power taking land away from Arab owners. What?! Huh?! They see Iran as a victim-state rather than a sponsor of terrorism all over the world, including Israel as well as the United States. I don't recall Israel threatening to blow Iran off the face of the earth, nor do I recall members of the Israel Knesset burning American flags or taking Americans hostage.

I do recall reading about Israel taking out nuclear reactor in Iraq, which the violent Baathist dictator Saddam Hussein was building. There were diplomatic talking heads who condemned the incident, but in reality many heads of state were glad that Israel had taken the pre-emptive strike to take down the reactor in Osirak.

Then there are the arguments that support for Israel is somehow inconsistent with putting the United States first or investing in this country's better interests. I used to believe that the United States should provide foreign aid or investment to any country. Now I see that American investment in Israel pays off in multiple ways. $3.8 billion is a nothing compared to the data, the intelligence, plus the cultural and spiritual values which Americans and Israelis share.

I would submit that opposing Israel is in fact anti-American. One cannot claim to put America First if they routinely pillory and undermine the state of Israel.

That little nation along the Mediterranean coast is the only stable democracy in the region, aside from Iraq post-Hussein, although its status and stability are in question. The nation continues to serve as a countervailing force against Iran and against Islamic tyranny in the region. They have helped the long-term fight against ISIS. They provide food, water, and technology through research, development, and implementation throughout the world. Their humanitarian investments counter China's aggressive military and cultural imperialism in Africa, too.

And yet these "conservative" groups hate Jews and hate Israel.



Why?

1. YouTube viewership without critical thinking.
2. A latent atheism, which is common for many among the alt-right.
3. A knee-jerk Buchananite nationalism, even though Pat Buchanan no longer opposes Israel and considers the Jewish State an ally. Why did Buchanan's views change? He actually visited the country.
4. The fear of being labeled a "cuck" or "Establishment" by their alt-right peers if they stop hating Israel.

What is astonishing to me about this group is that they oppose globalism and the left-wing media ... except when it comes to Israel. They believe all the negative reports written in Haaretz about Israel. They will trot out two major negative events, the Lavon Affair and the attack on the USS Liberty, to justify their unfounded hatred of Israel.

This is no joke. I have read anti-Israel articles and listened to anti-Israel spokesmen, and they invariably throw out references to those two events, then they talk about Jews controlling the Fed, the media, major institutions in the United States Government.

It gets old fast. It's pretty sad, and yet all too common.

For the record, the USS Liberty incident was deemed a fog-of-war tragedy after at least six investigations. The commander in charge of the USS Liberty declared that it was a fog of war tragedy. Even if all the allegations of violent conspiracy are true, would these anti-Zionists conclude that the United States government worked with Israel to cover up this supposed deliberate attack?

How do we deal with these lies about Jews, Israel, the Judeo-Christian legacy?

We fight back with the truth, but we should not vouch for or demand the forced silence of these individuals. If people want to condemn Israel and embrace their Anti-Semitic beliefs, then so be it.

But we have every right to speak the truth and not hold back our recognition of the facts on the ground.

Final Commentary on "Race Realism" Debate with James Allsup

The days of debating on the Red Elephants YouTube channel are over.



Debate is not a matter of interest, it seems. The commitment to seeing white identity or race of any kind as the key determinant for any civil society is all wrong.

At any rate, I was so unhappy with the arguments that they had been sharing, that I had to speak out. Vincent James offered for me to debate someone on this issue. I had never heard of this James Allsup guy until the day of the debate, which took place the same day as the San Dimas City Council meeting to discuss potential steps against SB 54.

Here's the video of the debate with James Allsup (Click the link)

This write-up was very complimentary towards me.

After dinner last night, I went on YouTube to catch up on my subscription feed. I noticed that the Red Elephants were live streaming, which was unusual. Even more unusual, James Allsup and Arthur Schaper were debating each other on the topic of “race realism.” I never expected to see that, but I do know that both James and Arthur are friends with Vince from the Red Elephants. The debate was well underway by the time I tuned in, and I was immediately intrigued to hear what was happening. I then went back and watched a replay so I could catch the debate in its entirety. I’ve been a fan of the work of both of them in the past. James’s position was that differences between races matter. Black Americans will never achieve parity with white Americans because they have a lower average IQ. Arthur’s position was that religious and cultural values have much more to do with a civilization's achievements than race and IQ.

I am astonished at the degrees to which alt-right figures, or paleonconservatives, or "whatever-cons" will go to make the race the focal issue of political thought.

Pat Buchanan, one of the foreign policy nationalists with a grave distrust of Israel, wrongly predicted that the Georgia US Senate seat would go to a Democrat because the demographics are changing. He hasn't paid attention to the fact that more "minority" voters are voting conservative, voting for policies that make America Great Again. Why?

Because the stultifying imposition of race and identity politics is not working anymore. More people are recognizing that they can vote anyway they please, and they no longer have to be accused of "Voting against their race". That's the primary reason why minority voters have been seduced into voting Democrat.

One of the pillars of James’s argumentation was that white civilizations far surpassed anything achieved by black civilizations. He also cited statistics showing that white and Asian students score higher on average on SAT exams than blacks and Hispanics by a sizable margin. Arthur retorted by saying that the achievements of European civilizations had more to do with the culture and civilizing values brought about by Christianity and Judaism. 

Chad B.'s post was a massive summary of what James and I debated.

This part was the most pertinent for me:

James later fired back that there are African countries that are majority Christian, yet they haven’t been progressing much at all. They haven't even been putting up tall buildings since the end of colonialism. Arthur asked how intellect should be defined. Is intellect based on artistic talent or scientific rigor or something else? He noted that IQ tests aren’t always accurate and that being a good test taker doesn’t mean that you can run a business, create a great work of art, or write a book. James responded by saying that SAT’s and IQ tests are meant to prove an ability to solve problems rather than demonstrating memorization skills.

David Brooks affirmed my view that intellect is far more than passing a tests:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Fc4Vpikdg

Responding to James' assertion that African nations have largely floundered despite being given significant amounts of monetary aid, Arthur said that family and values matter more than aid money. The money often falls into the hands of warlords and dictators and gets squandered. He also noted how unfortunate it is that so many black children grow up in broken homes and how many blacks face generational poverty due to the governmental policies of the Democrats.


Then Chad offered his comments about these alt-right views:

When I hear some of these Alt-Right personalities continually bringing up race and a hope for a future ethnostate, I start getting turned off. I agree with some common stances on the Alt-Right, but not this one. Yes, there are obvious physical and maybe even intellectual differences between races, but there are also many other factors at play, such as culture, climate, values, and religion. All human beings have far more in common than they have differences. Outward racial appearance is only a small part of what comprises an individual. Similarly, IQ is far from being the most important predictor of success in life.

I would further add that these differences are the crucial distinctions.

The intelligence of people could easily be offset by laziness, lack of focus, or lack of common sense. People with lower IQ’s might have a good work ethic, a strong ability to focus, and abundant common sense. I bet that we could all think of someone who has plenty of book smarts, but they can barely figure out how to program a TV remote or row a canoe. 

Or even change a tire. There's street smarts as well as books smarts. Intellectuals have offered a number of predictions, and they have often been wrong. They are out of touch with the varieties and vagueries of real life. Many intellectuals are in bondage to this false notion that just because they are well-read, and surrounded by other academics who are well-read, that they are smarter than everyone else.

Yet the sailors on Christopher Columbus' ships knew more about the New World than the wild and crazy fantasies of academics in elite universities. Some of them were writing about men with heads in their chests, for example, and still peddling other Aristotlean myths about natural laws and sciences.

Similarly, we could probably think of people who only have a high school diploma, yet they successfully manage a store or do well in sales. Some people with high IQ's cannot perform well under pressure. Some people with low IQ's are skilled at a particular trade. This irony is exemplified on reality TV shows like Undercover Boss. On this show, a CEO or president of a large corporation goes undercover and works a menial job at their business. Often times, despite their multi-million dollar salaries and top positions, they struggle with assembling tacos or successfully dealing with customers.

In a sense, then, IQ doesn't really amount to much of anything. It's almost meaningless, then.


Regarding an ethnostate, if the United States was hypothetically fractured into smaller ethnic countries, people would still face the same issues that afflict all human beings: food, water, sewage, housing, an electrical grid, trade, law, crime, taxes, education, poverty, transportation, and finance. Plus, you would still have a wide spectrum of political ideologies. I just don't see an ethnostate as the panacea to life's problems. White people definitely don’t all think the same way, and I’m far from certain that there would be a clear majority way of thinking.

Human nature and human struggles have an inescapable, universal aspect about them. That does not mean, however, that nations and citizens should strive at all costs to erase borders and remove nations. Nations are the spice of life, and God's plan for mankind.

I’ve known far too many dumb white people, including ones with college degrees, to ever believe in inherent white supremacy. I’ve also known far too many smart Africans, Asians, and Latinos. Of course, this anecdotal evidence would be dismissed, but even when looking at average IQ’s across races you would still have to evaluate people at the individual level. 

One of the chief arguments from Allsup and others who push this race realism argument is that speaking about individual contacts is ultimately "anecdotal". Those statements do not make the point any less true. Widespread judgments about people based on their skin color, the shape of their eyes and heads, or other superficial genetic features does not add up under scrutiny.

When James brought up specific inventions of white people, they’re creations of individuals – not a collective. Claiming that on average certain races have more inventors than others doesn't seem to matter across an entire population. As Arthur started naming black inventors, James chuckled. At some point, judging which inventions matter and which ones don't would start getting subjective. Arthur said that differences between ethnic and racial groups have become more nebulous, but James stridently disagreed.

The very concept of race is falling apart with further research and discovery into human genomes and genetic findings. What is race, exactly? Certainly it matters, from a political perspective, but as the political and cultural differences become greater and wider among people with fundamentally the same skin color, it becomes clear that every person has too much diversity within himself to be lumped into any one group or race.

Arthur really nailed James when he asked him, “Do you think black people are stupid because they're black?” He never answered that question with a direct yes or no. Arthur noted that the founders of our country wrote that “all men are created equal.” James then quoted Thomas Jefferson who pondered future racial strife between blacks and whites in America. Arthur said that people often change their views as they receive more information.

Indeed, they have. At one time, Abraham Lincoln agreed with then Speaker of the House Henry Clay's repatration program, which would have freed all the black slaves then sent them back to Africa.

By the time the country was founded, however, these slaves were not African in any way. They have dark skin, and all of them were of African descent in some way, but they were Americans! Eventually, Abraham Lincoln formed a different set of views on the matter. Part of what makes America Great--and what we need to Keep America Great--is to hold onto the promise of the Founders and the natural laws on which this country is founded: that all men are equal, that anyone can come from another country and assimilate into the wonders and culture of the United States.

E Pluribus Unum is our nation's motto, after all.

By the way, James never answered my question: "Do you think that black people are stupid, and that they are stupid because they are black?"


Arthur then got to the crux of the matter. If James is an agnostic who doesn’t know whether or not God exists, there’s an irreconcilable difference in their worldviews. For a believer in the God of Christianity and Judaism, every person has been created in the image and likeness of God, meaning everyone has an intellect and a will. Each human being has intrinsic value. For the atheist or agnostic, human beings evolved from lesser creatures and are ultimately comprised of stardust and carbon that somehow came to life. It’s much easier to put down entire races of people if we’re all just some cosmic accident. They truly believe in the survival of the strongest and smartest.

This part of the debate was fundamental to me. Worldviews do matter, and the logical or illogical bases of a man's understanding will affect for better or for worse their appraisal of his fellow man, whatever his skin color may be.

Here's the final downfall of the debate for James:

By the end of the debate, I lost some respect for James Allsup. His good debate points were peppered with childish name calling that made him appear egotistical and smug.  Here’s a list of some of his insults:
  • "Hold on, old man. I know it’s probably past your nap time."
  • "Boomer"---I was born in 1980, so this Boomer talk simply gets funnier every time I hear it!
  • "Stop crying. Stop whining, old man.” 
  • "I'm trying to have a debate, and you're losing your mind sitting in your car."
  • "How many lines of coke today, Arthur?" The only Coke I take in -- I drink.
  • "You really can't be this f**king stupid." He was really losing at this point.
  • "Vince, I'm disappointed in you guys. I didn't know that you and David just went out and found like homeless people and gave them a bunch of crack and like told them go and debate James Allsup. Jesus Christ."

After watching the debate in its entirety and digesting its content, I have to ultimately side with Arthur. 

At least one debate that went my way ... I guess.

I have no problem with people being proud of the accomplishments of their race or ethnic group. I grew up in a region that was nearly all white, but there was always a strong sense of ethnic identity tied to religion, food, language, and history. 

Culture, not color. Heritage, not hate.

I don't even have a problem with people wanting to live around people of their own race or wanting to marry within their race. When it comes to demonizing entire races of people by saying that their average IQ is too low to function in society, I have a problem with that. I also see more important ideals to strive for in life than racial pride and purity. Feel free to watch the debate here and to come to your own conclusion.

Final Reflection

All the data in the world to push one point of view does not amount to much when it's all based on fundamentally flawed premises. The definitions of race and the proper ways to define and measure intelligence as so varied and mired in controversy and challenges, that the very debate falls apart.

One part that I hammered at length on James Allsup was this simple question:

"Define an average African." I asked that question three times, but was smeared as "sperging out". He refused to answer that question, which goes back to my chief challenge with the whole argument. What is race? It's getting harder to define, and therefore to peg IQ with race is an every more slippery argument altogether.

Thanks for watching and sharing your views, Chad B!

Right-Wing Infighting: Why?

                 


Yes, there is in fighting among the members and standout stalwarts among the New Right.

The terms are confusing.

The grudges are unclear.

Yes, there is a lot of pride in the movement.

So, what is going on?

First of all, what are we talking about when we discuss "The New Right"?

How about "The Alt-Right" or the "Alt-Lite"?

What does any of this mean? These labels are part of the reasons we are seeing so much conflict. There is an over-emphasis on the groups which members belong to.

LA Werewolf mentions the need to focus on "the cause."

What is the cause they are fighting for?



The major cause which had animated and energized many of the New Right was the Trump campaign. He made California conservatives feel hope again. Even if Trump had no chance of winning California, he could sweep the country and enact key policies to help our state.

So far, his election has been the very godsend we needed. Enforcement of our immigration laws is taking place at an all-time record. The market is rebounding like never before. Media conglomerates are taking a serious beating. Hollywood has had an epic bad year at the box office, and their purported leading lights have been exposed for their incredibly evil, dark deeds done in secret.

But ...

What is the movement all about, then?

Do we want to ensure that more people are voting for Donald Trump in the next Presidential election.

OK, but why did so many people want Trump to win in November 2016 to begin with?

1. Illegal immigration. The overrunning of our borders has taken an untold toll on American communities. The strain on public resources, the cheap labor pushing out American workers, and the security threats to American citizens--all of this snowballed among the electorate to demand enforcement of our immigration laws.

2. Obamacare. This terrible law needs to be repealed, pulled apart, removed from the Congressional record. Let's make health care great again and broaden the much-needed free-market reforms.

3. Tax reform--yes, we need to lower the tax burden across the board on all income earners.

4. Political correctness.

5. Patriotism.

Anyone of these issues need special attention, fighters of all backgrounds to take on the groundwork and advance the cause.

6. Corruption.

Here's another major issue.

7. West Culture/Judeo-Christian values. This fight is needed now more than ever.

These concerns deserve utmost attention and care.

The infighting persists for a few reasons.


1. Some of the leading lights in the movement early on have become more invested in celebrity and the rewards of income which follow from it. Without going into names, it seems that more of them want to make a name for themselves and get rich in the process. They want fandom, stardom, whatever you want to call it.

2. New movement with new members has lead to the new challenges of handling conflict and disagreements. Most of the people rising up in the Trump movement have never worked in activist or organizing movements before. The skill set for conflict resolution is very new for people, and so there are clashes over timing and planning. A competition for different events will take hold, and people's feelings get hurt.

Conservative, Pro-Trump Unity in Action!

3. There are people jumping into the Trump, pro-Western, right-wing movement who want to sabotage the movement. They actually Trump, conservative values, and right-wing politics.

I submit that there are plenty of prima donnas looking for attention rather than seeking to make a difference. Otherwise, pride would not be a factor to begin with.

What does motivate people to get involved, to be active and push back against the politically corrupt climes in our current culture?

I do it because it's fun and because I do not like the arrogant, abusive bullying of the Left. The fundamental disregard for fairness and the rule of law from the Left has so enraged me, that I could not sit back and put up with it anymore. Besides, it is such a great feeling to put down bad policies, corrupt politicians, to rage against the legal and political establishment ... and WIN!

Why is that a problem for anyone?

Oh, and another thing about this "in-fighting" ...

The Democratic Party is in full free-fall as we speak. The infighting is intense, brutal, and likely to incinerate the Left. Left-leaning political parties are losing elections all over Europe and Asia.  The hardcore socialists have been led along for decades from the center-left parties. The political establishment has promised them just about everything, and yet after the most left-leaning President in American history was elected, much of what they hoped for never materialized. The most outspoken and effective left-wing activist in federal politics was not even a Democrat, but Independent socialist Bernie Sanders.

The Democratic Party has bee outed as incompetent, corrupt, and now bankrupt. Only in California does the Democratic Party have a lasting power, yet even here the party is fraying at the seams barely able to hold itself together. People on the right should not fear the infighting. It's all about growing pains, and sometimes the clashes lead to more independent movements which fight for the same causes but in their own way.

There is good news for the differing right-wing coalitions, too.

A long-stand press for national unity and identity has overtaken many of the clashes and divides among the right. Steve Bannon, Chairman for Breitbart News, listed the three groups who helped Trump wing: nationalists, populists, and Christians.

All three of them care about God and country, and these basic commitments allow for strong yet wide alliances. If the growing number of New Right members will learn to settle differences privately, there is nothing but growth, influence, and improvement available for all of us.
