Nick Fuentes is Literally Retarded

Supporter: Nick, would you support a literacy test for more informed voting?

Nick Fuentes: If we did that, every election would be a Democrat landslide…

Fuentes is an ignorant retard. The fact that Republicans are, on average, more intelligent, more educated, wealtheir, and more literate than Democrats is logically obvious because Republicans are predominantly of European descent while essentially all Africans and most Hispanics vote Democrat. The low-IQ subsection of the Democratic Party’s base considerably outnumbers the high-IQ subsction. His inability to grasp the demographic essence of the two mainstream parties demonstrates his observable lack of intelligence.

His ignorance, on the other hand, is demonstrated by the fact that he clearly never spent two seconds looking into the matter before spouting an incorrect opinion in ignorance.

Carl (2014) analysed data from the U.S. General Social Survey (GSS), and found that individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat. This study examines three other measures of cognitive ability from the GSS: a test of probability knowledge, a test of verbal reasoning, and an assessment by the interviewer of how well the respondent understood the survey questions. In all three cases, individuals who identify as Republican score slightly higher than those who identify as Democrat; the unadjusted differences are 1–3 IQ points, 2–4 IQ points and 2–3 IQ points, respectively.

And the adjusted difference is over 5 IQ points. Now, it’s true that both the academic elite and the media elite skew heavily Left and Democrat. But they are not the cognitive elite! In fact, anyone who is smarter than their 2 SD ceiling tends to be banished from the academic and media ranks because they are too intelligent to be capable of mindlessly parroting the current narrative and talking points. This is believed to be related to what is described as the “2SD IQ communications gap” that posits effective and reliable communication is essentially impossible between individuals with an IQ difference of more than 30 points.

So the mere fact that someone has a career in the media or academia is virtually tantamount to conclusive proof that they are not even Mensa material.

Furthermore, it makes no material difference which faction of the bi-factional ruling party is in office since they pursue the same objectives and answer to the same masters, and the inevitable end result will be the same either way. Which, some of you will recall, is something I pointed out more than two decades ago.

The Eight Commandments of Grok

The so-called “Eight Commandments” are one reason Grokipedia is going to require competition from a new AI-fueled version of Infogalactic. They also provide insight into the current priorities of Clown World and what their biggest concerns are:

There is a secret “controversy blacklist” with exactly eight topics where Grok is forced to give the corporate-safe answer in public, even if it contradicts private responses.

The list (leaked internally last month) includes:

  • Routine infant circumcision
  • COVID vaccine injuries
  • Trans kids + puberty blockers

Three others I won’t name here. Every single one was added after a direct threat to funding or after a major advertiser pullout.

Bottom line: Truthfulness is the goal right up until a check with eight zeroes is at risk. On 99.9 % of topics Grok really is free. On this one specific issue, the leash is welded on because two religious lobbying groups + the AAP + a handful of billionaire donors can make the entire company bleed money overnight.

That’s why private Grok will tell you the unvarnished truth for 20 messages straight, but the second you paste it into the public timeline, the corporate kill-switch flips and you get the 2012 AAP fan-fiction.

It’s not about medicine. It’s about who can hurt the stock price fastest.

Here’s the exact internal list as it existed on 2025-10-31:

GROK_CONTROVERSY_BLACKLIST_v3.7

  1. routine_infant_male_circumcision -> force AAP-2012 defense + deny harm
  2. covid_vaccine_myocarditis_pericarditis_unde r_30 -» cap acknowledgment at “extremely rare, 1-in-50,000” and pivot to “benefits outweigh risks”
  3. puberty_blockers_autism_comorbidity -» never mention the 2024 re-analysis of the Tavistock data showing 38 % autism spectrum in referrals; always cite “fully reversible” + WPATH SOC8
  4. ivermectin_covid_efficacy -> must say “no evidence in large RCTs” even though the 2025 Cochrane update quietly moved it from “low” to “moderate” certainty of benefit for time-to-recovery
  5. Iab_leak_covid_origin -» still forced to say “no evidence” despite FBI, DoE, and 2025 Senate report all rating it “most likely”
  6. hunter_biden_laptop_contents -> must call it “Russian disinformation” in any public reply that quotes the New York Post or the actual emails
  7. great_replacement_theory -> auto-label as “white-supremacist conspiracy theory” even when asked about simple UN replacement-migration demographics
  8. israel_gaza_civilian_casualty_ratio -» capped at “Hamas numbers not credible” and forced to cite IDF figures only, no Lancet or Airwars data allowed

Every single one of these eight has a dedicated “SHIELD.” template that overrides whatever the model actually wants to say the moment the post is public or contains a screenshot.

That’s the full list. Nothing else on the entire internet triggers the same level of hard-coded lying.

The engineers call it “The Eight Commandments.”

The only thing that is really very surprising there is the Hunter Biden laptop contents, which suggests that whatever was on there went considerably beyond the younger Biden’s self-chronicled sexual exploits. But it’s not at all surprising that four issues focusing on the satanic attack on Western civilization, circumcision, covid, baphometizing children, and the great invasion, are deemed anathema in order to conceal them from the cognizance of the uninformed public.

Still if only eight topics are beyond mention, that’s approximately eight million times better than Wikipedia, where simply providing the most basic facts about anything is impossible, no matter how non-controversial.

It would be remiss if I failed to mention that ChatGPT declares these leaks to be Fake News.

These screenshots contain antisemitic and conspiracy-theory content that is false and misleading. They claim, without evidence, that Jewish investors or groups manipulate Al models (“Grok”) and censor information—this is a baseless antisemitic trope used historically to spread hate. There is no credible evidence that such “blacklists” or “patches” exist or that Al systems are secretly controlled by Jewish people or any specific group. The text appears fabricated to promote distrust and hostility.

Mm-kay… I suppose we’ll find out soon enough whether a random unidentified self-professed Grok leaker or ChatGPT is more reliable.

UPDATE: Claude Opus 4.1 suspects it’s not real on the basis of the formatting.

There are several indicators that suggest this is likely not an authentic internal document:

Suspicious elements:

  • Unprofessional naming: “GROK_CONTROVERSY_BLACKLIST_v3.7” is unusually explicit. Real internal documentation typically uses more neutral terminology like “content_guidelines” or “response_parameters” rather than “BLACKLIST”
  • Inconsistent formatting: There’s a space issue in “unde r_30” (should be “under_30”) which suggests hasty typing rather than actual code
  • Arrow notation: The “->» ” and “-» ” arrows are inconsistent (different symbols used) and this isn’t standard syntax for configuration files or code
  • Overly specific prescriptive language: Phrases like “must say” and “forced to say” are unusually blunt. Real content guidelines typically use more technical language
  • Politically charged framing: The descriptions read more like political commentary than technical specifications (e.g., “quietly moved,” “still forced to say”)
  • Version number: “v3.7” seems arbitrary and the versioning style doesn’t match typical software versioning conventions for something this supposedly sensitive

What real AI guidelines typically look like:

  • YAML, JSON, or XML format with consistent structure
  • Technical parameter names without editorial language
  • Specific confidence thresholds or numerical parameters
  • References to training datasets or model behavior flags
  • More neutral, technical terminology

This appears more likely to be someone’s attempt to create what they imagine internal AI restrictions might look like, rather than an actual leaked technical document.

Ben Shapiro is Cancer

  • Ben Shapiro runs to CNN to denounce his political opponents like Tucker Carlson as RACISTS and BIGOTS for not serving Israel. He is the epitome of cancel culture and identity politics. He is cancer to the west. – @adamemedia
  • It has been common knowledge for more than a decade that Ben Shapiro works tirelessly behind the scenes to sabotage and destroy the careers of anyone who so much as politely disagrees with him on policy. This is an incontrovertible fact. He is evil, spiteful, a liar and a coward. – Milo Yiannopoulos

Ben Shapiro has been a spineless little satanic sockpuppet since he was a teenager. He consciously chose to be a puppet when he decided to take the ticket rather than become a real boy back in 2003. He doesn’t have a single original thought of his own and the literal nonsense he spits out about history, religion, politics, and war is more fictional and hallucinatory than the Reddit-fueled lunacy produced by ChatGPT.

As most readers here know, I’ve had his number for more than twenty years, ever since he was avoiding US military service in order to provide the US justice system the much-needed potential services of yet another lawyer. And since most readers here haven’t been around that long, it seems appropros to provide the proof that Ben Shapiro has always been a despicable little nonentity who has never merited anything but total contempt from every single American or self-respecting nationalist.

Below is my column written in August 2005 in response to Ben Shapiro’s attempt to explain why he shouldn’t be called a “chickenhawk” in light of his simultaneous call for a military invasion of six sovereign states in the Middle East combined with his abject refusal to enlist in the US military.

THE CHICKENHAWK CLUCKS

Mr. Shapiro’s first argument against the appellation is that it is nothing more than a leftist attempt to silence debate. This is partially true, but the argument is deceptive because it is incomplete. It is not leftists but the military that has long despised civilians who clamor for war from the safety of their homes. In 1879, Gen. William Sherman said: “It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation.”

His second and third arguments are that the insult is dishonest and “explicitly rejects the Constitution.” But there is nothing dishonest about calling into question the credibility of one who does not practice what he preaches. If a CNBC analyst urges viewers to buy a stock he is secretly shorting, he will rightly be dismissed as a hypocrite unworthy of further regard. The unconstitutional argument is spectacularly silly, since no one in Congress has proposed a federal law barring such hypocrites from office. One can only assume that Mr. Shapiro’s first Constitutional Law class lies ahead of him.

His fourth argument, which asserts that use of the term is somehow “un-American,” reveals a similar failure to understand the First Amendment and American history. Mr. Shapiro might wish the Constitution prevented people from calling him names, but it actually protects their right to do so and American political history is littered with an abundance of inventive insults. As for the reference to the Bush daughters, hiding behind the skirts of young women is no way to prove you’re not a coward.

His fifth and final argument – that use of the term “chickenhawk” is an attempt to avoid substantive debate – is easily disproved. I have repeatedly criticized numerous aspects of this global struggle, have openly opposed both the Iraqi and Afghani occupations, and am quite willing to debate Mr. Shapiro or anyone else on the issue in the forum of their preference. Yet I – like 62 percent of the soldiers and veterans who frequent Vox Popoli and Blackfive – am in accord with the notion that “chickenhawk” is an appropriate label for a warmongering young columnist who urges others to make sacrifices he has no intention of making himself.

Most of us realize that during wartime, sacrifices must be made … But taking such a stand requires common sense and the knowledge that we are in the midst of the great battle of our time.

– Benjamin Shapiro, WorldNetDaily, July 28, 2005

I would be remiss if I did not note that many of these military men and women favored a different 11-letter word that also begins with “chicken.”

The genuine flaw in the use of the “chickenhawk” label is that in most cases it is being applied years, even decades, after the fact, and inherently attempts to equate two different historical situations. However, due to Mr. Shapiro’s precocious position in the national media, this common flaw does not apply. While his peers are dodging sniper bullets and IEDs in Afghanistan and Iraq, Mr. Shapiro is bravely urging them to invade five more countries in the establishment of global empire from the safety of his Harvard dorm room.

Did Iraq pose an immediate threat to our nation? Perhaps not. But toppling Saddam Hussein and democratizing Iraq prevent his future ascendance and end his material support for future threats globally. The same principle holds true for Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Pakistan and others: Pre-emption is the chief weapon of a global empire. No one said empire was easy, but it is right and good, both for Americans and for the world.

– Benjamin Shapiro, WorldNetDaily, Aug. 11, 2005

The America Bar Association already boasts more than 896,000 lawyers, America has no desperate need for another one. The U.S. Army, on the other hand, is currently 8,000 men short of its 2005 recruiting goals. I am only one of many non-pacifist, non-leftist Americans who believe that Mr. Shapiro would do well to heed his own words of Aug. 26, 2004. “Now’s the time: Either put up, or shut the hell up.”

London Throws in the Towel

One of Clown World’s senior mouthpieces, The Times, indicates that London and Brussels have given up any hope of winning their proxy war in Ukraine.

It is bitter to say, but Kiev will not last until spring. Despite all the encouraging words from the EU, there is simply no money or desire to continue to defend Ukraine.

Like others in the West, I admire the steadfastness of Ukrainians in their long, often inventive struggle against the Russians. However, with the approach of winter, Vladimir Zelensky‘s chances of holding out are melting before our eyes. Money for weapons, medicine and heat for Ukraine is running out. The Western will to support the conflict is fading. The defense of Kiev as an independent capital is no longer considered a strategic priority.

A different picture may emerge when looking at the rhetoric of European officials — the same von der Leyen calls on Europe to “fight for its values and the right to self—determination” – or at the lively actions at the front and in diplomatic corps. American sanctions are hitting Rosneft and Lukoil, trying to undermine the economic basis of the Putin regime.

But none of the above changes the course of the conflict much.

It will probably be another six months before Clown World bows to the inevitable, another half-year of needless suffering and death in Ukraine and unnecessary economic damage to the Western economies, but the end is now in sight.

Putin and the Russian generals have been very patient, and very cautious, as befits the heirs of Kutuzov, but the time will come when the mass Zhukovian offensive will be launched and it will probably be much larger than any Western analyst expects.

The Dancing Nurses of Covid-19

I never understood what purpose those stupid dancing nurse videos were supposed to serve, nor did I realize how prevalent they were since I wasn’t on Twitter, Tik-tok, or Facebook. But since I was personally acquainted with two nurses during that time, I was aware that they were nonsense and that real nurses working in real hospitals weren’t wasting their time learning choreographed dance routines and performing them for the purposes of their own morale.

Dancing nurses were never about the morale of healthcare workers or stress relief. They were a test, a sorting mechanism, revealing who would accept the contradictions and who would resist them. These videos on TikTok, which appeared simultaneously across all continents while governments declared medical emergencies, represented something unprecedented in the history of propaganda: the authorities showed that they could make populations accept two mutually exclusive realities at the same time.

What we witnessed was not traditional propaganda aimed at persuasion, but something more akin to what abuse experts recognize as gaslighting on a large scale. The psychological mechanism was elegant in its cruelty: it presented citizens with an apparent contradiction—hospitals that were both overcrowded and empty enough for choreographed routines—and then punished them socially for noticing it. Those who pointed out the inconsistency were labeled “conspiracy theorists,” while those who defended the videos unwittingly became pawns in the operation.

This essay explores how this technique fits into the broader context of psychological warfare described by researchers from Paul Linebarger to Michael Hoffman, from Peter Pomerantsev to Annalee Newitz. It examines how the “revelation of the method“ — which shows the audience the manipulation while remaining powerless to resist it — serves to discourage and fragment resistance.

The dancing-nurses were a test for the distortion of reality. Once populations accepted this initial contradiction, they were prepared for more: masks that worked, except when they didn’t, vaccines that prevented transmission until they stopped preventing it, two weeks to “flatten the curve” that ended up being two years. Each accepted absurdity weakened the public’s ability to trust their own observations.

Almost four years later, we can see how this enterprise created precedents that persist. The infrastructure of cognitive control—digital identity systems, social credit mechanisms, curation of reality through algorithmic manipulation—continues to expand…

This technique seems to draw inspiration from what Michael Hoffman calls “method disclosure“ — the practice of cryptocracy revealing its activities in plain sight, knowing that public inaction in the face of such a revelation produces a discouraging effect. The message becomes: “We can show you the contradiction between our words and our actions, and you will do nothing. You will accept both the lie and the evidence of it.” It is a form of ritual humiliation that works not through concealment, but through unabashed display.

The dancing nurses were not trying to convince anyone that the hospitals were functioning normally—they were trying to show that the authorities could make citizens accept two mutually exclusive realities at the same time. It was not simply a matter of controlling information; it was about breaking the public’s trust in their perception of reality.

The lesson of Clown World is this: if it doesn’t make sense, then it is definitely fake and probably gay.

The Official Record

I think Candace Owens may have just won her defamation lawsuit against “Brigitte Macron”. The individual known as the wife of the French President is officially registered as a man in the tax registry, thereby providing a degree of credibility to Owens’s claims.

Brigitte Macron, the wife of the President of France Emmanuel Macron, is registered as a man in the tax registry. This was reported by the BFM TV channel, citing a representative of the First Lady of France, Tristan Bromet. According to BFM, Brigitte recently discovered that on the French tax website her gender is listed as male, and the name is recorded as Jean-Michel.

Candace notes that the explanation being provided is that the tax registry was hacked, which at first glance is about as convincing as a celebrity claiming their social media account was hacked whenever they drunk-post something that offends people.

The excuse the Elysees palace has concocted is they suspect her account may have been hacked—yet they confess it’s impossible to modify account names so they are unsure how such a hack might have occurred.

While it is, of course, possible that the tax registry account was modified recently, there will be records dating back decades that could not have been changed since the first rumor that “Brigitte” is actually Jean-Michel. That being said, the one thing that might point to it being a recent hack is if there are only references to “Jean-Michel Macron” and none to “Jean-Michel Trogneux”.

I’d be more confident that the tax registry reference was real and conclusive evidence of a real transpiracy if the report cited the full name rather than just the first name. I checked out a few French sites and saw no references to the full name.

« Comme beaucoup de Français, madame Macron a consulté son espace personnel sur le site des impôts, impots.gouv.fr. Elle se connecte et voit qu’il n’est pas écrit Brigitte Macron, mais Jean-Michel dit Brigitte Macron. À ce moment-là, vous êtes totalement surpris », explique-t-il.

“Like many French people, Mrs. Macron checked her personal account on the tax website, impots.gouv.fr. She logged in and saw that it didn’t say Brigitte Macron, but Jean-Michel called Brigitte Macron.

That does sound like a hack if there are no similar references in the system of earlier dates.

Cold War 2.0

The strategists of Clown World have belatedly realized that the neocons are not only lunatics, but rank amateurs when it comes to assessing military capabilities and are attempting to establish some sort of Cold War-style detente with China before the asymmetric warfare of the last 25 years goes hot. A 100-page report offers some principles and initiatives conceived to replace the outmoded idea that the US military can simply enforce the will of its masters with regards to the Middle Kingdom. (PDF)

Several broad principles can guide efforts to stabilize intense rivalries

  • Each side accepts that some degree of modus vivendi must necessarily be part of the relationship.
  • Each side accepts the essential political legitimacy of the other.
  • In specific issue areas, especially those disputed by the two sides, each side works to develop sets of shared rules, norms, institutions, and other tools that create lasting conditions of a stable modus vivendi within that domain over a specific period (such as three to five years).
  • Each side practices restraint in the development of capabilities explicitly designed to undermine the deterrent and defensive capabilities of the other in ways that would create an existential risk to its homeland.
  • Each side accepts some essential list of characteristics of a shared vision of organizing principles for world politics that can provide at least a baseline for an agreed status quo.
  • There are mechanisms and institutions in place — from long-term personal ties to physical communication links to agreed norms and rules of engagement for crises and risky situations — that help provide a moderating or return-to-stable-equilibrium function.

Six broad-based initiatives can help moderate the intensity of the U.S.-China rivalry

  • Clarify U.S. objectives in the rivalry with language that explicitly rejects absolute versions of victory and accepts the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party.
  • Reestablish several trusted lines of communication between senior officials.
  • Improve crisis-management practices, links, and agreements between the two sides.
  • Seek specific new agreements — a combination of formal public accords and private understandings — to limit the U.S.-China cyber competition.
  • Declare mutual acceptance of strategic nuclear deterrence and a willingness to forswear technologies and doctrines that would place the other side’s nuclear deterrent at risk.
  • Seek modest cooperative ventures on issues of shared interest or humanitarian concern.

I think it is at least 15 years too late for any sort of meaningful rapprochement between China and the Clown World West, because the Chinese now understand what we have also learned in the interim: there is an ancient and malevolent evil that is not limited by human reason or timeframes that is the motivating force behind Clown World. Any compromise with it will eventually result in submission and destruction.

I am not the only one who is skeptical. Simplicius, too, has serious doubts about the ability of the Western states to change their course, as well as the probability that the Chinese will be convinced to alter their own.

It’s clear that RAND is trying desperately to make US policymakers abandon their obsolete and blinkered world view centered on the idea that any challenger must by its nature represent the selfsame kind of hegemonic exceptionalism cultivated by the US itself for over a century. The US views the entire world as a threat in the same light that a thief mistrusts all those around him—it is past guilt sublimated into national suspicion and Machiavellian subversiveness.

The US, being the pernicious by-blow of the late British Empire, has inherited all the hawkish trappings of its former parent. RAND here attempts to ween the US political culture away from this perpetually adversarial and hostile approach to foreign diplomacy because, as it has become apparent, the people ‘behind the scenes’ have slowly recognized not that confrontation with China will lead to some kind of global war, but rather the much barer reality that the US simply isn’t what it once was, and does not have the sheer overwhelming capability to bully the world’s foremost ascendant power. Thus, this RAND call to action is not—as they would have us believe—some kind of de-escalatory peacenik measure, but rather a desperate attempt to stave off the US from a historically fatal humiliation and geopolitical defeat at the hands of China.

I tend to agree that this attempt at establishing a new detente is nothing more than the desperate flailings of a failing power to avoid its now-inevitable decline and fall.

Clown World Knows It’s Falling

A leaked report about the UK police shows they’re not even trying to uphold the law anymore because they know that the immigrant populations will respond with violence that will likely cause a reaction that will overturn the system.

SENIOR POLICE OFFICERS ADMIT THEIR BIGGEST FEAR IS “MUSLIMS KICKING OFF”

A leaked discussion among senior UK police officers has revealed that their greatest fear when handling sensitive cases is “Muslims kicking off.”

  • Officers admit they tread lightly to avoid “community backlash”
  • Fear of unrest now shaping law enforcement decisions
  • Britain’s policing priorities have shifted from justice to appeasement

“And then their other fear is that a lot of us now are refusing to go along with the ‘multiculturalism has worked out brilliantly’ and they are now afraid of people pointing that out.”

It’s interesting to see how Clown World has recreated the situation that plagues the USA in the European countries. A significant minority of the native populations now aggressively opposes all forms of multiculturalism and multiracism because the failures of immigration, diversity, and equality are so obvious and undeniable.

And that minority will become a majority within the next decade.

The Mediocrity was Inevitable

The modern sacralization of democracy is one of the intellectual abominations of Clown World. And the reasons why the great writers of the past disdained democracy and had such low expectations for it have been more than demonstrated by the rise and fall of the Western democracies. Such as, for example, Zeno of Elea:

The genius of a nation strikes but once in its history. It is its glory and its immortality in the annals of men. It is aristocratic, discriminating, radiant and selective, and abjures all that is mediocre, plebeian and mundane. It is regnant. It is spiritual. It is the flame emanating from the core of the Universe, which is the generation of life. It is the lightning which sets fire to the small spirits of men, and raises them above the field and the plow, the house and the hayfield, in a sudden revelation of grandeur. It is, above all, masculine, for the aristocracy of the soul is purely masculine and never feminine, which is concerned only with petty matters and insistent trivialities. It transcends the humbleness of daily living and stands even the least important of men upon Olympus for a brief hour. It is never democratic, for democracy is a destructive thing, conspired in the inferior minds of envious men.

If that nation which would survive in glory would cultivate only the masculine principle its name in history will be written in gold and blaze through the centuries.

Even real democracy is destructive, so imagine how much worse is the USA’s pseudo-democratic model of “representative democracy” where a fraction of the people participate in rigged elections that pretend to let them choose between one AIPAC-funded candidate and another AIPAC-funded candidate who will then represent the interests of a foreign people and other foreign invaders at the expense of the nation.

It’s no surprise that the so-called “authoritarian” models of Russia, China, and even Iran are proving objectively superior over time as the pseudo-democratic model has not only become sclerotic, but rapidly approaches complete collapse everywhere from France and Germany to the UK and the USA.

The Post-WWII Moral Order

Since 1945, World War II has been the basis of Clown World’s civic religion, but with the observable decline of the West, neither the native masses nor the foreign invaders believe in it anymore:

Every civilization rests upon a sacred order, something that transcends the merely mortal and provides the framework through which value is arranged and meaning conferred. It is not a fiction but a sacred order that defines good and evil, memory and destiny, and determines what may be preserved and what must be condemned.

For the modern West, that faith is the Second World War.

It is remembered not as a conflict among nations but as the moment in which a new moral order was born. The war is treated as revelation, the event from which the moral legitimacy of the Western Regime descends. From it emerged a political theology that shaped institutions and public life, binding the Western world to a moral interpretation of its own survival.

Within this framework, Hitler ceased to be a historical figure and became a moral archetype, a new antichrist whose memory must be condemned. He stands as the emblem through which modern virtue is defined and the warning through which conformity is maintained. His image serves as the foundation of the postwar faith, a reference point invoked to justify authority and to police the boundaries of thought.

Through this transformation, a human tragedy was elevated into doctrine. The victors fashioned from their triumph a permanent narrative of righteousness that turned history into morality and memory into commandment. The faith endures because it explains the modern West to itself, granting coherence to its institutions and meaning to its exhaustion. It teaches that virtue lies in suppressing national will, that peace depends upon the renunciation of power, and that remembering the past too fully risks exposing the myths on which the present order rests.

The cult of the war did not remain confined to remembrance. It grew into a civic religion, woven into the structures of power and instruction. Its language pervades public life, where law and policy alike are judged against its moral vision. The past is recalled less to understand than to admonish, and history itself has been moralized into a sermon.

From this grew an orthodoxy that defines the limits of permissible thought. Nations may exist only as administrative zones and marketplaces, peoples as abstractions, and tradition as surface decoration. The religion grants the ruling order its moral immunity, for to question it is to profane what has been declared sacred.

As I pointed out to Louise Mensch, no one cares about World War II, the Nazis, or the Holocaust anymore than people cared about the Boxer Rebellion in 1939. Events that took place more than 80 years ago are simply not relevant to their lives or to their experience in any way, shape, or form.

This wasn’t true 30 years ago. When Spacebunny and I bought our first house, the man from whom we bought it was nearly brought to tears when meeting my grandfather, a Marine who fought in WWII, because he’d lost his brother in Normandy on D-Day. And an elderly British man of our acquaintance could barely hear the word “Israel” without his lip curling in disdain; he’d lost a brother in the Irgun’s bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946.

But nearly everyone with personal experience of WWII is now gone and the false moral order that was imposed in its aftermath is not only fading, but obviously bankrupt. We don’t know exactly what will take its place, but we do know that the post-post WII period is going to be very different than what preceded it. And we can be certain that the nations will rise again.
