Damn, that was really good. I think it should be followed up and expanded with a written response, although a simple transcript would be great also.
The questions were obviously “grandstanding” to libertarian ideology. I noticed Greg didn’t take the bait and didn’t attack “libertarianism” by name but rather “liberal or radical individualism”. Glad he called out Ayn Rand at the end.
I am not really familiar with the “Skeptic” ideology, other than it is a stand-in word for atheist. It appears to also be promoting libertarianism if not Objecttivism. The list of questions is a giveaway.
I hope Nehlen will hear the podcast.
David Hume the original skeptic argued that logic and reason are the servant of passion.
The YouTube cult “Skeptocs” following Carl Benjamin (Sargon) are clearly unaware of this when they claim the Ethnostate and Altright are irrational and emotional.
Woes speaks for a lot us who want you to have more of a presence in the you tube discussions. You are very good at it, and more importantly you present in a way that won’t scare off regular people( I know that ‘normies’ is the most commonly used term by white nationalist types, but like all jargon, I feel it is becoming over used). Thanks for the great work.
I loved this. As I love the “Greg Johnson Debates” youtube channel. Spencer may have done well during the Sargon debate, but not well that I wasn’t screaming “talk about the slow cleanse!” “say it took us 50 years to get here, we can spend 50 years getting back!”, “lower your damn heart-rate. Only weak people respect bullies!”
I like Greg’s conviction in the benign use of education as an enculturating transmission of learning, wisdom and virtue. In the homogeneous, self-confident ethno-state, there really would be no need for cranky individualistic projects like home-schooling.
Millennial Woes has a lot of residual libertarianism on these issues. I respect and admire him greatly, but my instinct is to disagree.
“Skeptic” isn’t really skeptical. It is just anti-white and anti-Christian dogma and just means “do what Jews say” in the final analysis.
“Skeptics” are transparent lapdogs for the mainstream and very safe media-approved zeitgeist of today. I envision them enthusiastiacally slaughtering Russian Orthodox priests and other expendable goyim a century ago. Godless zealots don’t have any moral qualms against slaughtering certain people. Any excuse will do. The only exception – Jews. That would be a Holocaust.
Knowing real history, it makes me very angry that only the supposed Jewish holocaust is the one that MSM and Hollywood give a shit about.
Interesting. Sargon’s 8 questions seem to have resulted in several debates and much attention, I found a lot.

Richard Spencer seems to have debated with Sargon on the subject: “Richard Spencer, Styx and Sargon Have a Chat – Andy and JF moderate”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiUH-tWHbr8

KILROY CAME HERE INSTEAD !
Capulet did nothing wrong.
How about a debate beetween Greg and Sargon about this in a podcast?
No, it should be on Andy Warski’s channel. The bigger the audience, the better. Especially given that the majority of his subscribers are not, shall we say, frequenters of Counter-Currents.
Absolutely. It appears that Warski is doubling down on providing a platform to the Alt-Right, and his co-host Jean-Francois Gariépy is transparent about his sympathies for our ideas. While Richard Spencer came out on top overall in his debate with Sargon, his confrontational manner and ad hominem attacks are offputting to the types of people we would like to attract, in my opinion, and, to be honest, at times he was sorely lacking in clarity and incisiveness. I spend much of the debate wondering how much better the debate might have gone had it been Greg Johnson or Jared Taylor in his place.
If anyone reading this has a way of contacting Jean-Francois Gariépy and recommending/introducing him to Greg, I am confident that an appearance on a future edition of Warski Live could be arranged.
The truth is that Greg has already answered the thrust of Sargon’s and Styx’ objections. It’s been years, and I don’t remember the exact forum. Maybe a Robert Stark interview?
Non-whites are ethnically cleansing Whites from towns they have lived in for hundreds if not thousands of years as we speak, and for some reason, “no one sheds a tear.” If ethnic cleansing is truly as outrageous as they claim, why is nothing being done about this? Sargon might say that it doesn’t matter because the state is not doing it. Of course, this is silly, because it doesn’t matter who is doing it. You’re being driven out of your home either way. Nor does it help that the culprits will be punished if caught. First, they may not be caught, and second, even if they are, White fathers aren’t going to stick around and hope their daughter isn’t next. Unless the government continues to escalate punishment until further aggressions are deterred, they are effectively letting it happen.
As for Styx’ point, I think he is incorrect for the same reasons. Whites submit to these indignities, because they know they must. Why would non-Whites not do the same?
It’s very revealing that Sargon has a Youtube channel which he named rather self-consciously “The Thinkery” after Arisophanes’ Clouds (which I have just begun reading in accompaniment with Greg’s wonderful lectures) in which Socrates has a dark little shed (“The Thoughtery”) where he and his frail, pale-skinned followers languish in their intellectual pursuits. Instead of considering practical problems, they measure the length of fly legs, theorize endlessly, and stare at the ceiling.
If anyone listened to Sargon’s recent debate with Spencer and Woes it’s almost comic how well he adheres to the parody image of Socrates in Clouds. He inquires endlessly for an airtight definition of “White” in a semi-Socratic line of questioning until he is given an answer that covers 100% of all cases.
Our response should simply be that we don’t need an answer that covers 100% of all cases, because even if one granted complete tolerance to all edge cases (mixed race, etc) where White nationalist political policies are concerned the resulting societies would still be vastly improved over time. It is saying that because we cannot have the perfect, we are not allowed to pursue the good.
I wonder if the best approach might be to demand a concession that White nationalism is morally legitimate before even getting into these questions of who is White. In other words, ask whether, if we can produce a perfect definition, would they drop their objection to the ethnostate? If they say no, they’re nitpicking in bad faith rather than stating their true position. If they say yes, then you’ve nearly won the argument. The details can be worked out later.
That’s what I would do, but then I’m not a public figure that needs to present as agreeable, either.
The Educational System could be overhauled as well. Have you watched John Taylor Gatto’s “The Ultimate History Lesson”, Greg?

The Guild system should be considered seriously, specially because it doesn’t only concern education but other aspects of social and economical life.
But yes, as you and MW quickly spotted: Sargon questions were loaded with weak and blatant assumptions and narratives.
Millennial Woes made a great point, if not on the main topic – Namely that having these as podcasts rather than articles enables people to listen to them, while doing other useful things.
I, for one, did not have to choose between sawing up my Christmas tree and listening to this.
If it had been an article…
Audio is great for stay-at-home Moms, too. We have a lot of time to consume pro-White media, even if it’s just while doing the housework. If I’m not mistaken, Wife with a Purpose was redpilled first, then her husband.
No verbal debate yet. Those things favor people who have a high ability to use logical fallacies to their advantage (eg. strawmen, appeal to authority etc.). Doing great writing and speaking in non-combat situations.
I have long disliked oral, real-time debates. I have never been able to articulate exactly why. You just hit the nail on the head.
