Siberia: The Last Great White Refuge?

To the abject dismay and brooding disgruntlement of many of my Nordic brethren, I hate the winter with every last freckle on my shoulders and have often said that the best thing about European exploration and colonialism is that it enabled white people to finally live in places that had good weather.

But what if the upcoming race war everyone’s talking about actually happens and, you know, due to consistently bad planning and constant infighting, your race was to lose? As much as you may tell yourself that you are, by blood, an Ice Person, would you be willing to be relocated to a massive frozen wasteland that’s too cold even for most Russians?

For decades now, Russian nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky has been one of the most entertainingly bellicose and quotable politicians on the planet. To get his political points across, he is not above punching, spitting, brawling, and encouraging his aides to rape female journalists — the usual stuff. He has suggested things such as setting up giant fans to blow airborne Russian radioactive waste over the Baltic states and detonating a nuclear bomb in the Bosporus so that a giant tsunami could drown everyone in Istanbul. He referred to the United States as a “second-hand goods store” filled with “cocksuckers, handjobbers, and faggots,” and described former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as “a black whore who needs a good cock.”

The irrepressible and indefatigable Zhirinovsky gave a speech on his Telegram channel last Tuesday and predicted that a surfeit of multiculturalism will be America’s downfall, just as it was with the Soviet Union:

We in the Soviet Union for 70 years fed the national fringes of the country at the expense of the Russians. And in 1991, when they made a fuss and started shouting that they were leaving the USSR, the Russians didn’t come out to defend the country, simply because they didn’t understand that it was their land.

But at least the Soviet Union had Russians, so once the Soviet sand castle crumbled, Russia could go back to being Russia. Zhirinovsky sees no such cohesion in an America where the majority population has already been beaten into submission:

There are no national fringes there, but there are African Americans, Mexicans, nonwhites in general, who are already dictating their will, and whites are increasingly forbidden to talk about their rights, their culture, their history.

Zhirinovsky said that should the US collapse in a way that is unfavorable to whites, “They might even ask us to settle a few million people somewhere in Siberia.”

Given a choice between inhumanely dark winters where the high temperature doesn’t creep above zero degrees Fahrenheit and unceasing hand-to-hand combat with resentful tropical simians in a climate where I never have to wear anything heavier than a T-shirt, I can only hope that you’d all send me postcards from Siberia.

Insurrectile Dysfunction: Using January 6 to Mock White Masculinity

The Justice Department waited a little over a year to bring its first — but probably not its last — sedition charges related to that big, fat mess that happened on January 6, 2021. In this opening go-round the feds targeted several members of the Oath Keepers, whose leader, Stewart Rhodes, is a scrappy cyclopean fella who has taken great pains to publicly disavow “racism and white supremacist ideology.”

Of the 725 or so alleged wannabe coup-stagers that the Justice Department has arrested and charged with crimes related to 1/6/21, 93% are white and 86% are men. The same breed of “reporters” who make a point of telling you, over and over, about that precise statistical racial breakdown are also the ones who avoid giving you the exact quotient of murderers who are black males or how frightfully lopsided the interracial rape stats are.

But I hang enough on the fringes of political activity to suspect that if you asked that crowd who streamed into the Capitol whether they were motivated by “white racial anxiety,” I’d bet that nine out of ten would offer you a sharp and indignant “NO.” They would have described themselves as patriots and constitutionalists. They probably would have started barking at you drill-sergeant style if you dared suggest it had anything to do with being white.

Some people, even those with extensive military training, take a very, very long time to realize that a target has been drawn on their backs.

The problem is that someone has declared you to be their enemy, and no matter how much you want to plead color-blindness, they’re going to make it racial whether you like it or not — in which case, you should at least learn to like it.

And it doesn’t look as if the Oath Keepers, or the patriots, or the constitutionalists, or even your average everyday MAGApede who had yet to give up on Trump had any choice in the matter. The professional soothsayers and interpreters knew that January 6 wasn’t about a stolen election, it was all about being white — specifically about being a white male and being so insane and hate-filled that you didn’t actually want to see your social status and standard of living decline. I mean, you’d have to be pretty sick in the head to wish that things would get anything but worse for yourself.

But Jackson Katz, a man who is not ashamed to write for Ms. magazine, knows that it wasn’t about the Constitution or patriotism or reputed election fraud:

According to the liberal consensus in academia and journalism, even if the main catalyst for the riot was a wholly unproven set of claims about a “stolen election,” white racial anxiety and grievance were its animating passions . . . the insurrection was an overt and violent assertion of white male centrality and entitlement. . . . Trumpism is rooted in the aggrieved entitlement of millions of white men who are enraged at the loss of their cultural centrality — both as white people and as men.

Jan-Werner Mueller is a mustachioed writer who claims to understand “far-right parties and movements” even better than they understand themselves, and he says that January 6 was all about

. . . the promise of restoring privileged status to white men who think that women, nature, and the machinery of democracy ultimately belong to them. . . . If US democracy is not exactly as they conceive it — the exclusive possession of white men — they would rather destroy it than let it become responsive to majorities comprising people of color. . . . A full reversal of female and minority emancipation may be a far-right pipe dream, but further acts of destruction by white men seeking sole and despotic dominion are more than likely.

Shaun R. Harper is the Executive Director of the entirely unnecessary University of Southern California Race and Equity Center. In an article for Education Week titled “The U.S. Capitol Insurrection Was a Case Study in White Privilege. Teach It That Way,” he writes:

What would have happened had these been Black [sic] people? . . . There would have been a massacre. Outraged Black [sic] demonstrators attempting to come within steps of the Capitol while a joint session of Congress was being held to certify the results of a national election would have been swiftly killed. . . . Snipers would have gunned down every Black [sic] protester scaling the Capitol. One Jan. 6 insurrectionist was shot and killed; surely, there would have been hundreds, perhaps thousands more had they been Black [sic]. . . . There undoubtedly would have been a significantly higher number of arrests by now had the rioters been Black [sic]. In fact, the threat posed to members of Congress by a large mob of angry Black [sic] Americans would have been used to justify deadly use of force. . . . The Capitol insurrection is a useful case study to teach all K-12 and higher education students about the multifarious [sic?] nature of white privilege. People of color cannot violently take over federal buildings, march through them with guns, and destroy property without consequence.

Oh, is that so, Mr. Bojangles? If what you say is true, why have the feds arrested 725 or so people, 93% of them white, for that single incident one afternoon last January, while the entire country burned for months in the summer of 2020, at least two dozen people were killed, and they’ve only arrested about 250 people for it en toto?

Exactly what kind of loser does one have to be that their entire identity is built on the fraudulent notion that not only do people care about you, they care so much that they want to kill you? It’s like the racial version of a rape fantasy.

Does the “USA” in USA Today Stand for “Underage Sexual Attraction”?

Thirty years ago, no one thought that gay marriage would one day be legal.

Fifteen years ago, no one besides mental patients thought that “transgender people” were anything more than mental patients.

After the Trans Delusion wriggled its way up out of the muck to become the Great Cultural Divide, many predicted that the next sexual kink to be “normalized” was pedophilia. (One would think that part of the thrill of being a pedophile would reside in not being normal, but I’m neither a pedophile nor normal, so I can’t judge.)

It seems as if Salon was one of the first high-traffic media sites to “humanize” pedophiles in a 2012 article about “pedophiles who mean well,” a 2015 piece about a pedophile who “was not a monster or a molester,” and a 2017 firsthand account from a pedophile that caused such a kerfuffle, the site deleted it.

Allyn Walker is some kind of sexually ambiguous creature who looks as if a Skittles factory exploded in Pee Wee Herman’s face. Walker is the author of A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity. He agitates for the term “minor-attracted people’ instead of “pedophiles,” and says his main goal is “destigmatizing pedophilia.” Walker was recently pressured into resigning from his position at Old Dominion University, most likely because his views are about a decade or more ahead of the Perv Curve, meaning that although he’s hit the skids now, he will one day be honored as a prophet.

USA Today published an article last week that originally was titled “What the public keeps getting wrong about pedophilia,” but which an extremely defensive public eventually squeezed them into renaming “The complicated research behind pedophilia.” The article basically did nothing more than to draw a distinction between pedophilia — which some scientists say is a genetically predetermined orientation — and child molestation, which they define as an action not exclusive to pedophiles:

When most of the public thinks of pedophilia, they assume it’s synonymous with child sexual abuse. . . . Researchers who study pedophilia say the term describes an attraction, not an action, and using it interchangeably with “abuse” fuels misperceptions. . . . One of the most significant findings is that scientists who study the disorder say pedophilia is determined in the womb, though environmental factors may influence whether someone acts on an urge to abuse. . . . Not all people who sexually abuse children are pedophiles. Some pedophiles never abuse children, experts say, and some people who sexually abuse children do not sexually prefer them, but use them as a surrogate for an adult partner. They may be disinhibited and anti-social, with impulse control problems.

Everything sounded logical until I got to “impulse control problems,” which makes it sound as benign as eating too many cupcakes. That’s like calling a serial killer “moody.”

San Francisco’s Black Mayor Chides City’s “White Progressives” Again, White Progressives Lap It Up Again

San Francisco Mayor London Breed is a fat and charmless black woman who was elected by the city’s absurdly wealthy white liberal upper crust, whose members apparently lead such boring and antiseptic lives that they get a perverted thrill out of being scolded by a chocolate dominatrix.

In 2020, the mayor of Shitsville, USA expressed irritation at the whites who latched onto the imbecilic Black Lives Matter protests, citing “a real problem with the takeover of the movement by white people”:

The people who came out to my home last time, they were all white and wearing masks and walking with these “firework sticks” down the street chanting “Black Lives Matter!” . . . But then they get to my house and start shooting these fireworks off and aiming them at my window and banging on the gate and calling me names to come outside. It was like, what? In the projects, when you come to somebody’s house, you are coming to get your butt beat. Because I will come out and throw some grits on you if you don’t back up! . . . What’s happening in San Francisco now, and has for so many years, is you have a progressive movement made up of people who are mostly white and feel that they know what’s in the best interest of Black [sic] people.

Breed was probably even more annoyed at the white people who didn’t slavishly join “the movement.” You just can’t win with these people — and when I say “these people,” you know exactly what people I’m talking about: those people.

Breed recently declared a state of emergency in San Francisco’s crime-soaked Tenderloin area, which earned her the scorn of people such as District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a white man who Breed did not hesitate to insult for being white:

I think a lot of people, like some members of the Board [of Supervisors], like Boudin, did not grow up in poverty in San Francisco. They did not grow up in these kinds of conditions. They have a theory as to what they believe based on their ideology. But they’re also white. They are not black people who’ve had these unfortunately traumatizing experiences in communities where there’s not trust with the police, but also there’s a desire to be safe, right? And I’ve worked many of my years of growing up in this community to really turn that around because of the violence.

But they’re also white.

The perfect rejoinder to that would be, “Right — and you’re not.”

Murder Suspect Screams about Slavery, Shouts, “America is Gonna Burn!”

Winston Glynn is a 30-year-old black male who looks like he smells bad. I’m not saying this because he’s a male, or even because he’s black, but he seems like the inconsiderate sort who’d act as if it is your problem that he smelled bad. That, and I have the unique ability to discern if someone smells bad merely by looking at their picture. I’m going to go with my guts here, and my guts tell me that he smells bad.

Police have arrested the smelly-looking Son of Ham and charged him with shooting and killing itty-bitty little Kristal Bayron-Nieves, a 19-year-old Hispanic girl who, despite working as a cashier at an East Harlem Burger King, doesn’t look like she smelled bad at all.

Glynn wound up with $100 from the robbery. He’s also been arrested and charged with murder. The other day he was led out of an East Harlem police precinct to taunts that included basura, the Spanish word for “garbage.”

“Where’s our reparations for 400 years of fucking slavery?” Glynn yelled back at his antagonists. “Fuck you all! America is gonna burn!”

First of all, I doubt that Kristal Bayron-Nieves had ever owned slaves. On a Burger King cashier’s salary, it’d be a miracle if she could have afforded a studio apartment in Manhattan. Even a pet cat might have been out of her price range, much less a slave.

Secondly, I think whoever came up with this “400 years” lie needs to suffer 400 lashes with a wet noodle. Only a sprinkling of black slaves arrived in the US in 1619. It wasn’t until the end of that century that they even began reaching a parity with white slaves and servants. And then in 1865, they were freed and became more than simply the South’s problem. So that’s 246 years of slavery, and 157 years later, they still use it as an excuse to gun down petite little Hispanic Burger King waitresses.

Thirdly, I keep thinking that what Glynn allegedly did and said was not only a racist hate crime, it was an act of domestic terrorism. Then I remember that he’s black, which means he’s incapable of being either a racist or a domestic terrorist, so I wisely let it rest.

Let My People Curl: “Diversifying” the Oddest Winter Sport

If the carefully packaged propaganda that’s been force-fed to us like Soylent Green fashioned from the corpses of our ancestors has taught us anything over the past few years, it’s that there can never been too many black people. We need them as scientists, lawyers, presidents, fast-food restaurant managers, figure skaters, classical conductors, computer software developers, and astronomers. We need them to portray all the Norse gods in superhero movies and at least three-quarters of the actors and actresses in toothpaste commercials.

And with the Winter Olympics upon us, and with nearly all of the competitive events played over white snow and white ice by white athletes to the point where it should give any decent person a blinding-white headache, we definitely need to address the underrepresentation of colored folks in these sports that have been unfairly dominated by whites ever since they were invented in places where whites just happened to be indigenous.

Curling is the retarded younger brother of time-honored winter sports such as speed skating and cross-country skiing. I’ve never had the interest to figure out the point of curling; as best as I can tell, it’s some icebound form of shuffleboard where you push around a 44-pound circular granite slab instead of a puck. Allegedly invented in Scotland in the 1500s, curling isn’t something whites should be ashamed of — but then again, I’d hardly say it represents their crowning achievement.

Vernon Davis is a black former tight end in the NFL. He is also described as an “avid curling fan,” which is shocking not only due to the fact that he’s black but also because I never considered it was possible for anyone to be an “avid” curling fan:

I was introduced to curling when I was back in San Francisco. Curling? What is that? . . . You just watch that stone as it starts to spin and it’s going to the destination you want it to go to. It’s just a joy when it actually gets there.

Possibly because he’s like an exotic black pet to them, Davis — who is not a professional curler, nor an inductee in the World Curling Federation Hall of Fame — was named an honorary Captain of both the Men’s and Women’s US Olympic Curling Teams. He has also allied himself with other black curling aficionados to “help kickstart curling’s push towards inclusivity.” He has teamed up with NFL Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson and a rapper named Todrick Hall to produce a video called “Teach Me How to Curl,” which relies on the tiresome trope of hip and lovable black guys coming in and making the Caucasians look like gawky nerds. Frankly, I was offended.

Even after all we’ve been through as a country, as of 2020, every last freakin’ coach in Team USA Curling was white, and 36 out of 37 of the team’s curlers were white. To atone for this, Team USA — with the help of USA Curling’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and yeah, that’s an organization that actually exists — have started an initiative called “Ice Breakers,” which aims to “diversify the sport at the local level.”

Somewhere in the deepest, rankest ghetto pits of Detroit or St. Louis is a young black male who’s been waiting his whole danged life to prove that black boys can curl, too. What we need more than anything to help mend the divisions that rip us apart at our very spinal cords is a young and charismatic Negro boy who will become the Tiger Woods of curling.

As dispiriting as the past few years have been, it gives me hope to see that people are focusing on the important things.
