Gab goes big

Fantastic to see Gab making the Drudge Report… even if the Yahoo article linked consisted of little more than the usual anti-Alt-Right nonsense.

Squeezed out of Twitter and other social media websites cracking down on hate speech, far-right activists are finding a home on a new platform that promises never to censor content.

Launched in August, Gab has become known as a safe haven for the “alt-right” movement dominated by the white supremacists who are helping fuel America’s deepening polarization.

The social network currently has 100,000 members and another 200,000 on its waiting list, according to the company.

“All are welcome to speak freely,” spokesman Utsav Sanduja says.

Gab is unable to accommodate all those who want to join, he adds, because it is still in its test phase.

The social network’s rise comes amid Twitter’s suspension of political activists for purportedly promoting racist and harassing comments.

One of the new “Gabbers,” Richard Spencer, heads the white supremacist National Policy Institute, whose account Twitter has suspended.

Spencer, whose “Hail Trump” comments were seen as evocative of the Nazi era, joined the Twitter exile along with Milo Yiannopoulos, accused of fomenting a social media campaign against the African-American actress Leslie Jones.

Sadly for the SJW Narrative, Richard Spencer’s account on Twitter was restored to normal status yesterday, because it was finally determined that he didn’t do anything to violate their increasingly Byzantine rules.

Make a note, Facebook. Yahoo is Fake News.

Note that I’m not active on Twitter any more by choice. I’m neither suspended nor banned, I’ve simply decided to stop utilizing a social media site that blocks access to this blog. If you want to follow me on social media, you’ll have to join the Alt-Tech revolution and get on Gab.

Book Bloggers of the Year

Castalia House Blog Editor Jeffro Johnson hails the top 15 book bloggers of 2016:

When I was completing my Appendix N series back at the tail end of 2015, let me tell you… it felt like I was just about the only one. Not that I was the first, by any stretch. Ron Edwards and James Maliszewski had trod the same path before me. But the thing is… I couldn’t square how obvious my observations were next to the fact that nobody in the book scene seemed be saying anything remotely in the same vein. It was baffling, really. Sometimes it seemed like there was really only one or two people that even “got” what I was trying to do.

It’s ironic given how I much I’ve written about mass media’s conquest of the imagination, but really… I couldn’t imagine that changing. I should have known better. Working out the actual history of science fiction and fantasy was like putting a puzzle together with no box lid, no edge pieces, and several pieces on the table from entirely different pieces. It took a while. And when it finally started to come together, something happened. There was (and I’m not exaggerating) a kind of sea change in the book discussion scene.

All of it’s documented right here on the Castalia House blog in my Sensor Sweep link roundups. What’s going on exactly…? Well, if you are into classic Dungeons & Dragons you might recognize it as being similar to the Old School Revival that swept over the role-playing game bloggers several years ago. (Cirsova is an obvious counterpart to, say, Fight On! and Knockspell, for instance.) Beyond that, it’s becoming increasingly clear that people that are exposed to the science fiction and fantasy canon don’t just want to talk about it. They want to create!

What does this mean for readers…? It means that awesome things are on the way! If you want a preview, then check out the fifteen book bloggers that I’ve singled out as the best of 2016.

15. Hooc Ott — Ah, the number of times that I’ve been told that Appendix N was just a list of books that Gygax liked. No it wasn’t. Zelazny’s Amber stories thoroughly infuse an iconic adventure module for the classic expert set. And Edgar Rice Burroughs was not just a primary influence on the formation of D&D. He was an essential inspiration to Conan in particular and thus swords and sorcery in general. The only people are still in denial about just exactly Appendix N is at this point are the ones that have blocked Hooc Ott on Twitter.

14. James Cambias of Just the Caffeine Talking — If you don’t know who James Cambias is, well… I’ll hazard a guess that you were never into space themed role-playing games. He wrote or co-wrote a lot of the big ones. He also writes a blog that has more than its fair share of references to classic games and old school science fiction and fantasy. His Nostalgie Du Geek is a must-read series in my book, as are his posts on Game Mechanics. (If you don’t have strong opinions about that last one, then you aren’t a gamer.) He dips into movies on occasion as well, but the post of his this year that got the biggest reaction from me was The Worst Science Fiction Writer Ever which completely destroyed one of my favorite characters of all time.

13. John C. Wright — Jon Mollison nailed it when he tweeted the other day: “I’m starting to think John C. Wright is the spider at the center of an all-encompassing web.” I thought that was hyperbole until I went back through his posts for the year. If you look past the rants on the usual geek culture meltdowns, the political posts, and the analysis of “Morlock” thinking… you really can see Wright was endorsing key players in the scene well before any of this became a “thing.”.

Ignoring the irrelevant

The Trump Presidency has been amazing, and the God-Emperor hasn’t even ascended to the Cherry Blossom Throne yet. Now he’s ignoring and delegitimizing the EU, and correctly so, since it’s neither a state nor a government:

Europe WHO? Trump’s snub to Brussels as he names Britain but NOT the EU among key allies

DONALD TRUMP delivered a major snub to the beleaguered European Union today in a further sign of the marginal role Brussels can expect to play in his foreign policy plans.Mr Trump was a frequent critic of the beleaguered bloc during his campaign to become the leader of the Western world, and has described his shock White House victory as “Brexit plus, plus, plus”.

But he conspicuously failed to mention a single EU state in his roll call of global players, further indicating that relations with the European Union will be low down on the new US administration’s list of priorities.

And responding to media reports criticising his contact with global leaders today, the billionaire tycoon hit back: “I have received and taken calls from many foreign leaders…Russia, UK, China, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and more. I am always available to them.”

His pointed snub to EU member states will send further shivers down the collective spine of Europe’s elite, which is scrambling to formulate an effective response to the populist uprising taking place across the globe.

In particular it represents the huge reversal of fortunes facing Germany, coming just days after outgoing President Barack Obama praised Chancellor Angela Merkel as his “closest ally”.

And it reaffirms that Britain will be a key ally to the self-avowed anglophile’s new administration, coming a week after eyebrows were raised when he placed Theresa May 10th on his initial ring-round of international leaders.

Stunned European Union chiefs have been thrown into panic mode since Mr Trump’s election to the globe’s most powerful post, issuing a series of garbled and contradictory statements as they watch the cosy EU-US relations built up under Mr Obama crumble before their eyes.

The EU already lacks democratic legitimacy. If the God-Emperor continues to delegitimize it and its member-states, it will crumble faster than the Soviet Union. I’m starting to think there is a very good chance that the God-Emperor is going to pull the US out of NATO, which would serve as a sufficient trigger for the fall of the fraudulent Brussels-based Euro elite.

Peas and carrot cake

On a colorblind society and other observable absurdities:

To a large degree, I became racially conscious because of my black clients, who eventually destroyed all my preconceived notions about race. My awakening did not come from one or even a few incidents, but from the accumulation of thousands upon thousands of small interactions.

Day after day my clients continue to amaze me. There is no racial education quite so thorough and convincing as spending time with blacks, and my clients are far from being the poorest and least competent blacks. They are not indigent criminals for whom I am a court-appointed lawyer. They are people who can afford (or think they can afford) a lawyer to get a divorce, contest a custody judgment, beat a traffic ticket, etc. Some are government employees who make $60 to $70 thousand a year, yet even this group is vastly different from whites….

In my state, the parent who does not have custody — almost always the father — pays a percentage of net income to the parent with custody — almost always the mother. The mother gets 20 percent of the father’s net income for the first child, 25 percent for two children, and up to 50 percent for five or more children. What if a man has children by several women? Each mother gets 20 percent for the first child, so a man with five children by five different women is supposed to be paying 100 percent of his income in child support. I once had a client who had 12 different children by 10 different women. Theoretically, he owed 250 percent of his income. These laws simply don’t make sense for blacks.

The idea that all races are equally suited to all societies and vice-versa has never made any sense to me, probably because I have lived in four very different societies, with four different languages, as an adult. Whenever I see someone blithely assuring me that the Chinese will adapt to the West because Magic Dirt or virtue-signaling in some other similar fashion, it always makes me smile, because I am a much better cultural chameleon than most and I know very well how very different my values and assumptions and instincts are, and have remained, than the values and assumptions and instincts of those who have variously hosted me over time around the world.

When something so foundational as a legal system cannot reasonably account for variances in behavior, no society, indeed, no civilization, is possible for long. Rest assured, many of those who eagerly anticipate living in a non-white society are going to bitterly, bitterly, regret the world they have lost if they ever get to experience what they think will be a better society.

White people are supreme at precisely one thing: creating white societies. If you want to have a certain type of society, be it German, Japanese, or Navaho, the one thing you absolutely need is a sufficient number of that kind of people. It is strange, but many who understand one cannot make carrot cake from peas or mushrooms still seem to think they can make an American society without Americans.

The ironic thing is that even some of the immigrants are beginning to realize this. In England, for example, some groups of immigrants are becoming increasingly upset because they believed they were going to be living among English people in a functional, highly civilized English society, not among other immigrant groups in a dysfunctional, increasingly uncivilized multicultural society.

Society is people. It is not values, or skin color, or height, or any other thing that people possess. Adulterate the people and you will devalue the society. Demographics is destiny.

NFL Week 14

Jax should help the Vikes get back on track. If anything can… but this season does appear to be as lost as it did right after Teddy Bridgewater’s injury.

Mailvox: why everyone needs SJWAL

That’s not an exaggeration. Literally everyone needs to read it nowadays, because absolutely no one is off-limits as far as the SJWs are concerned. Do you have a job? Are you dependent upon someone else having a job? One trival slip-up, one petty violation of an ever-changing Narrative is all it takes for you, or someone upon whom you are dependent, to become a target. Fortunately, this guy happened to have read the book before he came under SJW attack.

I just finished SJWs Always Lie and it was discovered at a much-needed time. Within the last year, I’ve gradually become Alt-Right. I’ve also been making my way through [a Master’s degree in a fully converged field]. The place is a viper’s den of SJW so I’ve largely been reserved while informing myself as much as possible so as to have ammo to fire back with if exposed. I’m usually much more confrontational by nature but I know when I’m outgunned.

That didn’t last.

Events went down almost *exactly* as you describe them in your book. I worked (for free mind you) at a [redacted] doing the necessary bitchwork to advance through the internship component of the program. Someway, somehow a “friend” of mine emailed the office a month-old post I made regarding the differences between men and women in society. Of course, I didn’t know this until two weeks after I was fired and told I’d be reported to the university for my misconduct. After two weeks of stonewalling, the head of my department at the university finally told me what I was accused of.

Since then I’ve been kept in limbo as the department decides what to do with me.

Your book was the exact battle plan I needed. Reminders to never apologise, never back down and always remember that the enemy deal in lies are very useful.

I am curious if you have any input, however. Some of your book I have a hard time following simply because a lot of the strategies and risks you call for I don’t have the power to implement fully. I got a lot riding on this. For instance, I don’t have a ton of experience, good field connections or ability to tell the faculty to fuck off.

That being said I am locked into the program so it would be hard to remove me plus [for redacted reasons] they can’t punish me for speech too severely. I’ve been consulting with FIRE, a non-profit for legal advocacy for free speech on college campuses. You seem like the type of man to have a lot of insight so any input or wisdom is welcome.

Thank you for inspiring me to keep up the fight during this hell.

Consult with FIRE, prepare an exit strategy in case they’re able to kick you out, and stop your online and social media activities. That’s the point that a lot of people don’t seem to understand. If you aren’t in a position to fight, don’t hand them information, which is ammunition. I’d also look at registering a complaint concerning the firing for misconduct if the [redacted] violated its own policies. Sure, you don’t want the job, but it’s a future vulnerability if it is given a pass.

Look, I never had a choice. Because I started writing in the pre-Internet era, but close enough to it that my columns and media interviews were made available on the Internet from the start, I knew that I’d be cut out of jobs and other opportunities all along. Long before WND was even created, I was blackballed from the St. Paul Pioneer Press editorial page when I was easily the best candidate for the job and they didn’t even need the Internet to do it.

But as long as you have a choice, it’s best to lay low. Keep your Facebook innocuous. If you’re going to express an opinion of any kind, do it under an anonymous identity you develop for that purpose and for which you can always maintain plausible deniability. (Translation: always drop identifying details that point at someone else, preferably an SJW.)

Otherwise, the chances are pretty good that some “friend” is going to bring you to the attention of an SJW-converged authority. And, of course, stay out of the vipers’ dens! That’s a good way to get yourself bit.

Cutting too close to home?

As a number of sites are reporting, both the Carlos Slim blog and the Washington Post are scrubbing their sites clean of reports of large-scale arrests in Norway related to a pedophile ring. Here is the evidence of the latter.

Norwegian police arrest 20 men in pedophile network probe
By Associated Press November 20 at 11:21 AM

HELSINKI — Norwegian police say they investigating a pedophile network suspected to involve at least 51 people, which includes the abuse of infants and at least one case of a suspect acknowledging abusing his own children.

Deputy Police Chief Gunnar Floystad says that in Norway’s largest abuse case to date they have arrested 20 men so far, with three convictions, in western Norway. The 31 other suspects are from other regions in Norway.

Floystad told reporters Sunday that many of the suspects are highly educated, and include lawyers and politicians. He said he could not reveal more details pending the conclusion of the investigation, known as “Dark Room,” which began in 2015.

Prosecutors said the perpetrators met in the dark web, using encryption and anonymity to hide their tracks.

It should be fascinating to see the Fake News attempting to claim that archive sites are the real fake news.

And now we’ve seen a false flag at Comet Ping Pong starring a crisis actor that has vanished from the news combined with the sudden elimination of pedophile-related arrests from the twin engines of the Washington-New York fake news bubble. Are you still confident that there is nothing at all to Pizzagate?

As for me, I’m just wondering what the over/under is on the number of pictures of Comet Ping Pong and people connected with it now in the possession of the Dark Room investigators.

All the news that’s fit to fake

I was interviewed for this piece on the Alt-Right that appeared in the New York Times, but none of the answers I provided to the reporter, who is referenced in the byline, were quoted in the article. Read it and you’ll probably be able to figure out why his questions and my answers were omitted easily enough.

As usual, I’m only posting my answers here, as I did not request permission to quote the reporter’s questions.

  • The Alt-Right is the rational response to the failure of American conservatism to conserve anything and the inability of libertarianism to promote liberty, as well as the descent of American liberalism into multiculturalism, social justice, and diversity. What I like about the Alt-Right is that it offers Western civilization a chance of survival that it will otherwise lack.
  • The Alt-Right is important because it is the only current political philosophy that is in harmony with science, history, and reality as we currently observe it.
  • It is neither intrinsically racist nor intrinsically white. It’s certainly not white supremacist; the desire of the white Alt-Right to preserve their European nations is no more “supremacist” than the desire of Israelis to preserve their Jewish nation or the desire of the Japanese to preserve their Japanese nation. Regardless of what you think of nationalism, nationalism is neither racism nor white supremacy. The fact that there are Alt-Right supporters who speak 18 different languages, from Afrikaans to Hebrew, should suffice to demonstrate the absurdity of the Alt-Right being nothing more than racist white supremacists.
  • There are observably two different branches of the Alt-Right, plus a pool of Alt-Right-leaning conservatives. I describe these as the Alt-White, the Alt-West, and the Alt-Light. They all share the same goal of preserving Western Civilization and the European nations, but whereas the Alt-West tends to place more emphasis on Christianity and the Graeco-Roman legacy, the Alt-White tends to focus more on the European nations. The Alt-Light are those who are still in the process of making the transition from conservatism, libertarianism, and even liberalism to open support of the Alt-Right, as defined by the 16 Points. 
  • I am of the Alt-West branch. I am neither a leader nor a figurehead of the Alt-Right, I’m merely an armchair commentator who happens to have made the philosophical transition from libertarianism to the Alt-Right.
  • Since I am an American Indian, this is obviously a false narrative. Nor do we merely present ourselves as more intellectual; one of the reasons our critics are so desperate to keep us out of the public discourse is because our ideas are more firmly grounded in science, logic, and history than theirs, and our intellectuals are observably more intelligent than theirs. To attempt to boil down the entire Alt-Right philosophy to nothing more than rebranded racism is ludicrously stupid. This should be obvious, since rebranded racism cannot explain why so many conservatives are gravitating towards the Alt-Right.
  • The Ku Klux Klan is an irrelevant and outdated American organization based on race. The Alt-Right is an increasingly popular, increasingly relevant global phenomenon based on nationalism.
  • Because the Alt-Right were among Donald Trump’s earliest and most enthusiastic supporters. Donald Trump was the only candidate, in either major party, whose policies were even relevant to the serious challenges now facing America and other Western nations. The fact that many Alt-Right individuals not only expected Donald Trump to win, but publicly predicted it very early on, is one of many indicators that the Alt-Right political philosophy is the only intellectually viable one in American politics today.
It is informative that even the New York Times feels it is necessary to resort to quoting non-entities, extremists, and people who explicitly disavow the Alt-Right label rather than those who openly embrace it in order to make what passes for their case. They do so because they have no effective response to us. They have no ability, no capacity, to even begin to engage in discourse with the greater part of the Alt-Right, because their perspective has been rendered outdated and irrelevant by events.

The New York Times: All the news that’s fit to fake!

Even the subtitle contains an outright lie: “A movement of many factions is trying to change its image now that its profile has risen, but its message — one of racial separation and supremacy — is unchanged.”

Racial separation is not supremacy. Are we Indians Red Supremacists because we insist on keeping our reservations? The constant conflation of separaration with supremacy by the Fake News is completely and shamelessly deceitful. That’s why they can’t quote me. To do so will explode their false narrative and demonstrate its intrinsic dishonesty.

Why I don’t give to my alma mater

In a single picture. This was not my elementary school, but the university from which I graduated. Bucknell University, to be specific. What a pathetic laughingstock it has turned out to be since it started embracing “diversity” in my sophomore year, which at the time confused everyone there, especially the nominally diverse. I wonder, do they offer degrees in collages, coloring books, and eating paste yet?
