Greg Johnson stepped up to meet the challenge I threw down on the Darkstream the other night. Tara McCarthy is hosting the debate at 7 PM.
The official topic being debated is: “Are National Socialists a legitimate element of the Alt-Right?”
Greg Johnson argues Yes.
Vox Day argues No.

Choose your enemies wisely
If I were Jeff Bezos, I would consider this a fair warning and hasten to the White House to determine what the God-Emperor requires:
Donald Trump wiped around $5.7bn dollars off the stock market valuation of Amazon in less than two hours on Wednesday, with a tweet attacking the online retail giant for “doing great damage to tax paying retailers”.
Amazon’s shares lost 1.2 per cent of their value in pre-market trading after Mr Trump’s comments.
The President tweeted: “Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the US are being hurt – many jobs being lost!”
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt – many jobs being lost!
Now, Amazon has been absolutely great to us. We have not had a single problem with them outside of the one time an SJW employee abused the power of his position, and they handled the situation beautifully. No complaints at all.
But given how Google, Twitter, and PayPal have been behaving, it is important that Amazon not follow their lead into an SJW-converged death spiral.
On the Fake Right
Neither neocons nor national socialists are of the ideological Right. Both groups are 100 percent Fake Right and rely upon deceit to try to worm their way into the genuine Right to drum up support on the basis of a few points of commonality because they are defeated left-wing factions.
This is nothing new. I was writing about this in 2004.
“Over a third of the 1920 Munich Manifesto precisely matched goals put forth by the American Democratic party, and that percentage more than doubled if one eliminates the historical aspects of the Nazi platform that simply have no application today.”
And before that, in 2003, I looked at the ideological spectrum on a party-by-party basis.
The most common error is to postulate a Communist left-wing extreme opposed by an extreme Nazi right wing. Not only does this leave out a substantial body of political and philosophical thought, but the construction falls apart the moment the two socialist ideologies are compared. Any reasonable comparison inevitably forces the confused advocates of such a definition to assert that the spectrum is actually a circle, in which case the terms left and right, much less left-wing and right-wing, are wholly nonsensical.
Nor is the original usage of much utility today, since it represented the fundamental division of the pre-revolutionary French national assembly. Since very few nations feature a monarchy these days, and even fewer political parties espouse positions with regards to the Bourbon kings, this definition is now defunct. And the notion of basing the spectrum on progress, of course, begs the Marxian question. In other words, progress toward what? The worker’s paradise?
To find a stronger foundation for a proper political spectrum, it is necessary to delve into intellectual history. Looking back to ancient Greece, one finds striking similarities between the collectivism of Plato’s Republic and modern leftist thought. And likewise, the close relationship between the Aristotelian regard for the individual, the American Bill of Rights and today’s Libertarian Party is equally hard to escape.
Taking this fundamental dichotomy between the supremacy of the community and the primacy of the individual as a starting point, it becomes relatively easy to determine where an individual or party happens to fall on the political spectrum if communism is accepted as the anchoring point for the extreme left wing. The figure below illustrates where some of the most familiar political philosophies fall upon the spectrum based on an analysis of what I consider to be the ten most significant elements affecting individuals and their relationship to their government, followed by a point-by-point breakdown of how these positions were determined.
The ten issues were: Religious Freedom, Right to Life, Gun Control, State Money Standard, Private Property, Freedom of the Press, National Sovereignty, Standing Army, State Schools, Central State Authority
The totals:
00 COMMUNIST
15 NATIONAL SOCIALIST
36 DEMOCRAT
52 REPUBLICAN
85 LIBERTARIAN
This is conclusive evidence that all National Socialists and all Alt-Reichtards are 100 percent Fake Right. They are not only to the Left of the Republicans, they are observably to the Left of the Democratic Party and the DNC.
Nor is the claim that they are pro-white even remotely convincing. First, the German national socialists killed more white people than anyone but their fellow left-wingers, the Communists. Second, the overwhelming majority of genuine national socialists in the world today are not white at all, they are Asian and Arab. And the Chinese version of national socialism both preceded and survived the German version.
Unite the White
The media and the multiculti Left are gearing up for a new offensive in its war against the Alt-Right:
Unite the Right, Divide the Nation
Perhaps most troubling are the group dynamics at work here, which are indicative of an identity movement’s spiral towards violent extremism. Though the groups that will coalesce in Charlottesville represent a spectrum of far-right viewpoints, they all share a common goal: Redefining the boundaries of the American identity — i.e., what it means to be a “real” American, and who gets to be included in that group.
This process involves several steps, the first of which is framing the identity of the “in-group” (those deemed to be “real” Americans) as inseparable from the derogation of an “out-group” (those who aren’t included in an increasingly narrow construction of American identity). The groups that make up the Unite the Right rally have differing perspectives on exactly where to draw the line separating the in-group from the out-group. The definition of the out-group is flexible and may include Muslims, immigrants, Jews, African Americans, liberals, feminists, and more. This so-called “fluidity of groups” often accompanies the transition to extremism.
But that’s just it. Paper Americans are not real Americans. They are Mexican. They are Chinese. They are Jews. They are already members of a nation that is not the American nation. And the myths of “proposition nations” and “nations of immigrants” “Judeo-Christian America” and “Black Roman Britain” notwithstanding, they will remain members of that distinct and sovereign nation regardless of where they reside.
A dog does not become a horse by virtue of being born in a stable.
It is not merely the Right that is being forcibly united whether it will or not. The next generation is already divided into White Americans and Not-White Not-Americans. Note, in particular, the difference between White girls and Black-Hispanic-Asian girls.
Now, all of the White cucks, conservatives, and liberals will still cluck and posture about how they are colorblind and so forth. But unlike the tango, it doesn’t take two to war or identity-politick. All politics in the USA are now identity politics, whether people realize it or not.
Preibus is out
Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, and others have reported that the God-Emperor has finally axed the GOP Establishment Chief of Staff. He’ll be replaced by General John Kelly.
Let the games begin….
Moderates are worse than useless
When the chips are down and their vote counts, they will ALWAYS find a way to take the enemy’s side against their own.
A months-long effort by Senate Republicans to pass health legislation collapsed early Friday after GOP Senator John McCain joined two of his colleagues to block a stripped-down Obamacare repeal bill.
“I regret that our efforts were simply not enough, this time,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor after the vote. “This is clearly a disappointing moment. It’s time to move on,” he added after pulling the bill from the floor.
The decision by McCain to vote no came after weeks of brinkmanship and after his dramatic return from cancer treatment to cast the 50th vote to start debate on the bill earlier this week. The GOP’s ‘skinny’ repeal bill was defeated 49-51, falling just short of the 50 votes needed to advance it. Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski also voted against it.
It wasn’t immediately clear what the next steps would be for the Republicans. The repeal effort had appeared to collapse several times before, only to be revived. And several Republicans pleaded for their colleagues not to give up, even as President Donald Trump blasted the vote.
“3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down, As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!” he wrote on Twitter at 2:25 am Washington time.
But McConnell has struggled to find a compromise that satisfies conservatives, who have demanded a wholesale repeal of Obamacare, and moderates, who have been unnerved by predictions the bill would significantly boost the ranks of uninsured Americans.
Moderates serve one purpose and one purpose only: to prevent their own side from winning. This is why you should swiftly eject them from any activity that you wish to accomplish anything.
How do you identify the moderate? Easy. He, or as is more often the case, she, will be the one who is always talking about “reaching out” and how the other side will feel or react. Even when moderates are in their putative fire-breathing mode, they will be talking about how the other side’s head will explode or some other such nonsense. They never have any interest in actual objectives or how to attain them. Believe it or not, moderates actually take pride in changing sides and preventing their team from winning, because being unreliable and treacherous somehow proves the nobility of their principles and independence of their judgment.
Just look at how Weasel John McCuck was “leading the fight to stop Obamacare” before he was voting with the Democrats to save it. Never, ever, permit a moderate to have a leadership position. And if you can’t prevent it, refuse to support the organization or the effort until he is removed.
Hill Transgender
The Democrats have chosen their hill to die on in the cultural war:
This week, Democrats unveiled an agenda for the midterms that carefully avoided any mention of the issues that had led to accusations they’d been playing “identity politics” in recent elections. Their message, party leaders said, would be all economics, all the time.
But President Donald Trump is — and has always been — a culture warrior. And he made an aggressive move to elevate those issues to the political forefront Wednesday by announcing via Twitter that he is banning transgender Americans from serving in the military.
It is reminiscent of George W. Bush political adviser Karl Rove’s efforts to push a same-sex marriage ban in 2004. Gregory T. Angelo, the president of the Log Cabin Republicans, said Trump’s move “smacks of politics, pure and simple.”
This time, though, top Democrats say they don’t fear that a political debate over transgender rights will damage them in the Rust Belt. And some Democratic senators running for re-election in red states were sharply critical of Trump’s move.
“Democrats need to show — and can show — that they can simultaneously fight for a society that is both more fair and more prosperous — and drive home the fact that Trump is delivering neither,” long-time Democratic strategist Ron Klain said in an email.
Yeah, so good luck with that. If the God-Emperor will merely follow through on BUILDING THE WALL, he will secure re-election in 2020. Of course, his bigger challenge is not the Democrats, but the cucky, inept House and Senate Republicans.
The uselessness of conservatism has never been more clear than seeing these hapless posers suddenly rendered impotent by power. On tonight’s Darkstream, I talked about how the cucks are now Trump’s primary obstacle.
Why Trump is unhappy with Sessions
Andrew Napolitano explains that the former Senator is essentially too much of a pussy senatorially collegial to take on the swamp:
During the past two weeks, President Donald Trump has made no secret of his unhappiness at the management of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Actually, Trump seems most agitated at the growing parts of the DOJ that are not under Sessions’ management.
He is also angry that the trail of the well-known evidence of the crimes of his former opponent Hillary Clinton seems to have been vacated by the DOJ.
How is it that parts of the DOJ cannot be controlled by the attorney general, whom Trump appointed to run the DOJ? And with a mountain of evidence of Clinton’s espionage — her failure to safeguard state secrets, crimes far more treacherous than those alleged against Trump’s campaign — why has she not been prosecuted?
It doesn’t help that Sessions is also wandering around looking like a senile old dinosaur babbling about the drug war when literally no one gives a damn about outlawing drugs anymore, in part because pot is increasingly legal and half the millennials have been on speed or psychotropics all their lives.
Tribalism and the Alt-Right
The Men of the West explain why the current historical trends are making the Alt-Right inevitable:
Imagine you lived your whole life in a quiet suburb that was just far enough away from the metro area where no one bothered you. It’s full of upper middle class homes, very low crime rate and you’re generally afforded a peaceful life. You don’t notice at first, but soon your way of life is getting chipped away at. The people from neighboring towns, whom you have no quarrel with and have rarely interacted with start trash talking your town. Sure, you can ignore it. Maybe it’s just petty jealousy and there is no advantage for you to get involved at all; let them say what they want.
As time goes on, the anger from the towns around you grows, the rhetoric gets dialed up and soon you’re being painted as evil just for living in your town. People from the other towns start coming through your town, holding demonstrations and demanding that you apologize for being a resident of that town and demanding that you give in to other demands from the towns around you. They demand payouts from businesses who face boycotts if they don’t relent. You find that you’re just not as comfortable being out in public anymore because your quiet life has been disturbed. Even so, you tell yourself that if you keep your head down, this will all blow over because there’s nothing to it and you’re not one of the bad guys. You’re not even sure who the bad guys are really supposed to be.
You’ve never had a reason to look down on the people from the towns around you. You’ve been more than content to let them leads the lives they see as most beneficial to them and you pay them no mind at all. You have no hatred or resentment, nor feelings or superiority either. But now you’re being pushed. Your’e being encroached on. Your way of life is threatened by people that have no business telling you how to live your life, but they’re doing it anyway. They’ve painted you as a hater, a terrorist, and any other negative label they can pin on you. They get control of the media. They shame people relentlessly for not conforming to their way of doing things. At what point do you get fed up and start fighting back?
Welcome to identity politics in America.
You can’t escape identity politics because you don’t approve of them any more than you can escape crime or war. It’s not an option. Once they are upon you, you must accept the new situation and revise your thinking accordingly.
All Americans are now antisemites
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
It seems #AIPAC has forgotten with whom they are dealing. Americans will not give up their First Amendment for Israel’s sake.
Isaac Hebestein @isaachebestein
I mean, since Israel is America’s only ally in the ME, why would anyone want to boycott them in the first place?
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
That’s irrelevant. Obviously some Americans do. And that is absolutely their First Amendment right.
Isaac Hebestein @isaachebestein
Boycotting Israel stems from deep-seated anti-Semitism, and therefore is religious discrimination. Would rather have terrorism over not being able to boycott an allied country. That makes sense.
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
We don’t give a damn. Try to fuck with the First Amendment and you go right to #1 on the enemy’s list.
Isaac Hebestein @isaachebestein
You sound ridiculous, wanting terrorism over the ability to boycott an ally. Just don’t buy our stuff if you don’t like us, no need4 boycott
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
We don’t give a damn what you think. Americans killed their British brethren for those rights. Americans will kill Jews for them if need be.
Isaac Hebestein @isaachebestein
This is the anti-Semitism we deal with on a daily basis. It really is so disheartening
Isaac Hebestein, Rabbinics Curriculum Coordinator at Academy for Jewish Religion and Adjunct Assistant Professor at HUC-JIR, New York, New York.
It’s rather astonishing, actually, to observe how many Diasporans clearly have no understanding whatsoever of Americans or how Americans will react to this proposed law. I knew Jews are not Americans, of course, by definition, but I didn’t understand how utterly foreign the American perspective is to many of them until now. The following was the truly funny part of the exchange. Mr. Hebestein clearly didn’t understand why some Americans are very much supportive of the idea of an AIPAC-endorsed federal law against the criticism and boycotting of Israel.
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
We don’t give a damn. Try to fuck with the First Amendment and you go right to #1 on the enemy’s list.
Zorost_Risen @JoeWatson1414
You convinced me, I now support a law against BDS
