Now that we’ve taken off our holiday party masks and furtively tiptoed into 2024, the presidential election looms only ten months away.
I find myself violently uninterested in the whole sorry affair. I can’t recall a time in my life when I cared less about the candidates or the outcome.
It wasn’t always this way.
I was barely out of diapers when Lyndon Johnson thrashed Barry Goldwater in 1964, so I can’t be faulted for not doing my civic duty and paying attention to that election. But when Richard Nixon ran against Hubert Humphrey in 1968, I recall the other seven-year-olds being passionately involved to the point where we held an event in our schoolyard in which the kids stumped for their chosen candidates. I remember little freckle-faced Kathy McNeila holding a pro-Nixon picket sign that read DUMP THE HUMP.

In sixth grade I defaced my wooden school desk with a “McGOVERN ’72” etching. I can think of no other reason for preferring him to Nixon other than the fact that I thought he had better sideburns than Nixon.
During America’s Bicentennial, when I was 15 and a toothy upstart from Georgia named Jimmy Carter ran against a wooden clod named Gerald Ford, I wanted Carter to win because not only did he tell Playboy that he’d “looked on a lot of women with lust” — just as I’d been doing — but he popularized the term “born-again Christian” for the American public, and even though I’d been lusting after women, I was also a born-again Christian.
The reasons I preferred one candidate over another were hardly profound, but I think that’s always been the case with most people — even those of voting age. If anything, voting for George McGovern because he had good sideburns was probably wiser than voting for his policies.
I’ve voted in only five presidential elections, and I only picked a winner once: Donald Trump in 2016. On a superficial level, he was far funnier than the muff-diving she-beast Hillary Clinton. But he also talked about deeper matters: illegal immigration, the national debt, and the offshoring of America’s economy. Most importantly to me, Trump seemed like the perfect antidote to censorship-hungry Leftists. As a writer who traffics in ideas and attitudes that aren’t rubber-stamped by the reigning culture czars, I felt I’d have an easier time finding paid work under Trump than under Obama.
But none of the things he promised came true. Deportations of illegals decreased, the national debt increased at a record pace, and America suffered a net loss of manufacturing jobs. Worst of all, the censorship, ostracism, and financial deplatforming of non-Leftists reached levels that were previously unimaginable.
When I ask people who still support Trump what he accomplished as president, the typical answer is that he “owned the libs,” but the record suggests that the libs owned him.
And for all of his vaunted racism, Trump was an absolute disaster as a racist — possibly the lamest racist of all time. He failed to directly address white people as a constituency even once, and he rewarded black Americans for rioting throughout the summer of 2020 with a half-trillion-dollar “Platinum Plan.”
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
So Trump was either conning us from the start, or a president can’t really accomplish much. I suspect it’s more of the latter. Trump is now promising that if he gets reelected, he’ll finish what he never even managed to start during his first term.
He’s better than Joe Biden, but that’s like saying foot fungus is better than anal warts. Biden is a sclerotic, doddering embarrassment and the least presidential of all the presidents, but he’s also a perfect symbol of America in its current state. I’m angrier at Trump because I never expected anything from Biden.
And now, before the primaries have even started, it appears that 2024 will be a repeat of 2020, only with more body fat and Alzheimer’s. But no matter who is declared the winner, you can bet your last worthless Federal Reserve Note that there will be riots. Beyond the unconquerable national debt, a clear sign that we’re a broken country is that in the past two elections, the side that was declared the loser refused to accept the official results. In 2016, Democrats blamed Russian collusion. In 2020, Republicans blamed voter fraud. I’ve never bothered to get into who was right and who was wrong because I don’t trust either side and I don’t think it ultimately matters when the entire system is built on lies.
The saddest thing of all is that democracy would be stupid even if it was honest. Social media is a virus that led to many plagues, but at least it revealed how painfully vapid most people are about politics. If you think ordinary rappers are dumb, you’d be correct — but have you ever seen a MAGA rapper?
Some tribes are more authentic than others. Some emerge from organic processes based on self-preservation, while others are intentionally fabricated as a distraction while everyone gets marched to the slaughterhouse. There is nothing about the Left-Right/blue-red/Dem-Repub antipathy that is natural, nothing that hasn’t been calculated and manipulated to set the rubes at one another’s throats. But don’t you realize that our side is the good side and their side is the bad side? Sure, they think they’re the good guys and we’re the bad guys, but they’re wrong and we’re right. There are no good guys and bad guys in all this — only morons and assholes.
So I’ll be sitting this one out, and you can call me all the names you want. You can keep pretending that your vote matters and that politicians will listen to you rather than to their donors. Maybe I’ve been manipulated into not caring just as you’ve been manipulated into caring, and we’re all idiots, or else we’d be the ones doing the manipulating. I’m open to that option.
America’s problems are far bigger than which guy gets elected president. The country’s population has been diversified to the point where even pretending it’s a nation is imbecilic. The economy has been indentured to hostile interests to a degree where it’s mathematically impossible to ever break even. America’s decline has almost certainly been engineered, and it has proceeded apace regardless of who gets elected president. When a patient is on his deathbed, calling in a new doctor won’t help — especially when you have to choose between two doctors who both helped make him sick.

I’ll explain… in 2028.
This issue reminds me of a remark David Zsutty made, about the value of spending some energy in making trouble and problems for our enemies. Given Trump’s first term performance, I expect little to nothing from him that would positively benefit us, but he certainly makes our enemies crazy and unhappy. Demands for secession and partition might very well increase. That alone makes me likely to vote for him.
And who knows, in office he might alleviate the awful condition of the January 6th prisoners, who otherwise will languish in the USA gulag.
NB: This is my take on David’s general statement and I make no claim that he would agree with me.
he certainly makes our enemies crazy and unhappy
This sounds like the mirror image of “I voted for Obama because he pissed off the racists.”
Sorry, no.
Maybe we should stop playing 3D chess with ourselves. We can’t even win at 1D chess.
1-D chess is played on a board one square wide and 64 squares long. All you can do is massacre each others’ pawns, and the bishops and knights can’t move.
I will vote for DeSantis in the primary, as he has been a very good FL governor (I have family there who rave about him) – and he is the ONLY candidate (to my knowledge) who has called for ending birthright citizenship. I know he’s been a real suckup on JQ issues, but how can any serious rightist not vote for Ron D. on this basis alone?
And of course I’ll be voting for Trump in the general. Not voting is simply stupid, and for about 100 different reasons. The Left gets this. They never say voting is a “waste of time”, because they know it isn’t (and this is true even if your side loses the election in question). Trump has no chance of winning my state, but it’s still good to maximize his popular vote, as that influences the direction of the GOP in general. If Trump gets blown away by senile Biden, that will tell the GOP donor class (not to mention Corporate America and Institutional America generally) that they can ignore nationalist issues with impunity. But if Trump wins, that will be a fire bell in the night especially for the RINO Establishment.
However useless Trump was (or will be) in office, each little victory is … a victory. They all add up. Think of the LGBTQ movement – from despised weirdoes to culturally dominant in less than a half century. Or the Civil Rights movement before them. The Nationalist Right has to start consistently winning politically before it will win legislatively.
You brought some fine humor to the gallows today Mr. Goad. I love the way you reduced this to a game of would-you-rather.
“He’s better than Joe Biden, but that’s like saying foot fungus is better than anal warts”
That synopsis beats The Simpson’s “Kang and Kodos”, in accuracy and hilarity and it isn’t even close.
Well done. Scare the horse and let the trap door open on America. She’s done.
I don’t vote either. I will not participate in the dishonesty. It is all kabuki. There is way too much money at stake to let voters have a say.
Who would you vote for anyway, nobody can fix this.
Time for an anti-Zionist protest vote.
The national GOP must die so that White America might live.
I’m certainly not thrilled that he is again our only choice, but we need to work with what’s available in the short-term until we are able to take more serious action for us and our country. As much as he disappointed me, and I don’t even like him all that much, I would encourage all White Nationalists to hold their nose and pull the lever for him no matter what state you live in. The one exception is if he picks a non-white as his running mate. Then I’d actually encourage the opposite.
I don’t think any Counter’Currents supporter/White Nationalist truly believes that Trump is our savior — it’s quite evident that he is not. However, I am going to give a fair evaluation of what we have to benefit from if Trump somehow miraculously gets back in.
1) The subject of race, demographics, IQ, Jews/Jewish control, White replacement in both North America and Europe, etc, have all increased substantially since 2015. I’m hearing more bar conversations than ever before about white erasure and/or unqualified minorities in positions of power, I’m seeing more Facebook and Twitter posts about non-white criminality and demographic changes in states and cities around the country, and open discussion of race isn’t “quite” as immediately shut down as it previously was. Americans today might be more inclined to demand attention at the border and immigration BEFORE passing a tax cut this time around. We still have a long way to go, and most whites still aren’t anywhere near where they need to be, but to say that the Overton window hasn’t shifted a tiny bit after Trump’s first term would be dishonest.
2) Some White Nationalists are beginning to get more courageous when it comes to fighting for us publicly, and not just typing things anonymously on the internet. If Trump is in the White House over Biden, and any White advocate, individual or group, gets into serious trouble for something, we have “a” chance of being pardoned or at least coming to the defense of, said people. However small this chance may be, We literally have zero chance at fair trials, pardons, or outside support if any of us get into trouble with Democrats in the White House.
3) The border invasion is so off the charts and so many Americans are genuinely frightened (at least internally) that even if Trump doesn’t have the guts to do 100% what needs to be done, I think he will still have to use some kind of non-lethal weaponry to get people to turn around, have “some” kind of barriers installed in the most problematic areas, and the endless hoards of Mestizos might be more scared to try and enter for the next few years. Yes, this doesn’t ultimately stop the problem or reverse it’s effects, but buying time is still buying time. There’s a possibility that because so many cities and states are overrun with these miscreants that the American people may openly demand at least a certain number of deportations as well — that’s currently up in the air.
4) If he chooses someone like DeSantis as VP, it will be a way of trojan-horsing someone less bad for another 4 years after Trump is either too old to lead, or the term-limit kicks in. Like Trump, DeSantis is in no way our savior, but he’s also on numerous records saying things like ending birthright citizenship, finishing the wall, deporting illegals, etc. He can be pressured by the American people to make even a half-assed attempt at these campaign promises, and he’s truly the only other candidate who spoke of them in a similar tone to Trump. It would give us control of the executive branch of government for the remainder of the decade, and additional protection if things get ugly for any of us in the legal realm.
5) As much as I despise Elon Musk and I find him to be fraudulent in many ways, having Twitter be “less” restrictive this time around may also be able to be used to garner additional attention to the real problems facing whites and white countries.
6) Trump getting back in might have an effect so extreme in non-whites and Liberals that it could cause a nationwide spike in crime so pernicious and terrifying (and not just in major cities) that it could wake up more whites. You never know.
Again, this is the fairest evaluation about ideas I can think of that we “might” benefit from if Trump somehow gets back in. There’s no need for any of us to watch any debates or follow anything regarding the campaign season (unless a Neil Kumar type candidates is running for the House or Senate that I’m not aware of) so I’d otherwise just encourage white nationalists to continue discussing other solutions that don’t involve the Presidency or politics at all.
open discussion of race isn’t “quite” as immediately shut down as it previously was
That’s happened a lot more while Biden’s been president than while Trump was. I don’t think it has anything to do with who’s president.
True, but the shift I have personally seen and heard began approximately around early-2019, not long after AOC became a household name. It’s only natural that it would be at a higher point now with a gradual increase in the last 5 years, and we’ve had so many more reasons to talk about race since Biden has been in. The 2020 riots and the insane rise in brown and black criminality in our cities (and whites getting increasingly arrested and unfairly charged for self-defense) I think has forced us to talk more about demography.
But even in 2017, I did have a few discussions with friends that summer, and one actually uttered “Maybe coming illegally isn’t the only problem. I’ve seen what Haitians and Dominicans do when I lived in south Florida. Maybe the type of immigrant is also a problem, whether legal or not.”
Like I mentioned, whites are still nowhere near where they need to be, and I don’t want to overpraise them or give the false hope that they’re ready to fight next week, but I have to acknowledge the tiny things we hear and see since Trump came down the escalator that weren’t previously there.
There were also riots in 2014 under Obama. And in 1992 under Bush I. And in 1965 and 1968 under LBJ.
The point I’m trying stress here is that it’s a mistake to think that merely because something happens while someone is president implies that it happens because someone is president. I’ve come to believe that these processes occur independently of who’s president. This applies to both cultural and economic changes.
People have gotten much more Jew-aware over the past year. Should Biden take credit for that?
“People have gotten much more Jew-aware over the past year. Should Biden take credit for that?”
Yes, but it is unintentional. It is due to Biden’s open bias towards Israel and everything Jewish, including his choice for people in his government.
Similarly, his disdain for White American citizens (incl. the appalling draconian sentences for White people participating in the Jan 6th events) opened a lot of people’s eyes to their disenfranchisement by Biden and his gang.
Another factor is the increasing minority status of Whites in America. The more that happens (e.g. in big cities) the more people feel justified to defend their group interests.
The last sentence in the last paragraph is perfect. That is 2024.
Maybe I am a stupid foreigner, but I still do not understand why the nation with more than 300 millions people and with long tradition of the republican rule cannot find some new politicians to vote for/or against, and restricted themselves to only two very old men with doubtful past and present.
It’s because of fear.
Most whites, even ones who fully understand things, are still terrified at the idea of running for office on a platform that the USA is a white country, founded and built by white people, for white people. To call for even the most basic measures to protect whites and their country (deport illegals, don’t offer citizenship to current Visas, stop H-1B, incentivize repatriation of non-whites, a moratorium on all legal immigration or make it white immigration only, etc) still frightens them because they will be called a racist, and now there will typically be violent threats as well.
Because this fear remains, they’d rather have the same old business as usual candidates to fill the void, in the hopes of slowing down the bleeding while they monitor the American people’s attitudes on race and demographics to see if it’s “now time to drop the fear.”
We need to drop the fear soon, because things are getting very bad — Even worse than they were in the early-2010s.
America’s Founders didn’t anticipate political parties, but they formed almost immediately. Because of how the Electoral College works, and the fact that there are no runoff elections, this gives a very strong preference to two viable parties only. It’s so difficult for a third party candidate to win the Presidency that it’s never been done.
Since there are only two viable parties, the big businessmen who form the backbone of the Deep State can make massive contributions to both parties, circumventing democracy. (That’s treasonably subversive, but still technically legal.) Then, voila, oligarchy. Both candidates have to be members of tricky Deep State globalist clubs, or at least have their tacit endorsement. It’s the same for Vice Presidents and most Cabinet members. That’s why no matter who you vote for, you get the same thing.
I voted Trump before and I will do so again. My reasons are simple and selfish.
My 401k did so much better under a pro-business atmosphere Trump
I could afford so much more at the grocery store and gas station.
I could afford to move and get more equity. Now under biden, I wouldn’t dream of dropping my 3.5% mortgage for not only a 7-8% rate but also for horribly inflated house prices.
The world was so much safer. I felt good traveling.
I knew if I were wronged, the justice department would have my back. Now, biden has created a world where all levels, from bailiffs to judges feel completely justified letting blacks off in the name of righting historical wrongs when it comes to black criminality.
I like hearing that he will deport all illegals.
Trump’s way of doing things was so much better than establishment Washington, DC. I was floored when he accompanied Kim Jong Un into North Korea. He approaches the job of President in a way we need, not the biden way of let’s measure our success by how much money we spend and how many decades we’ve been in government.
I loved energy independence. Telling muslim oil countries to take a flying leap was highly satisfying. It made us a very strong and safe USA.
Now under biden, I wouldn’t dream of dropping my 3.5% mortgage for not only a 7-8% rate but also for horribly inflated house prices.
Current inflation has nothing to do with the massive printing of worthless dollars done in 2020, while Trump was president? Nothing to do with the nearly $8 trillion added to the debt while he was president?
To me, it seems that so many other economic indicators were so much better under Trump. They may have been worthless dollars, I don’t understand that part as well as I should. But my 401k did great under Trump, my ability to refinance my mortgage to a lower interest rate while Trump was President was great, my dollars went further in both the gas and grocery store. I felt better about spending disposable income.
Around when Biden took office, January 202, inflation was 1.8%. June 2022 it was 9.1%. By November of 2023 it was 3.1%. Now many say that Biden had to deal with Covid and its effects on the economy. To me, he did a lot wrong such as the vax mandates for everyone including those who move goods. Backups in the shipping ports followed, supply chains were shot, and all prices went up. Of course, Biden blamed Trump for his economic woes to which I say, If you thought Trump left things in such a bad shape, why did you want the job in the first place? It just seemed that what Biden did made inflation rise much more than when Trump was President.
I think Trump, as a proven successful business man, has a better chance of making the economy right itself. So many business people praised Trump for removing a lot of the regulations that Obama put in place. I imagine how much more productive Trump could be if the Democrats would realize that for as much as they hate Trump, millions and millions of people voted for him because that’s how democracy works. You know, democracy? That word the Democrats are always yammering about how much they love it despite doing everything they can to change it.
Biden also was supposed to “heal the soul of America,” and, “Be the adult in the room.” I look at where both this country and this world are and how did we get here in such a shockingly short amount of time. I say Trump is the better chance of fixing it.
Thank you for taking the time to question my thinking.
It just seemed that what Biden did made inflation rise much more than when Trump was President.
You can cite all kinds of positive economic numbers while Trump was president. And I could surround myself with lavish indulgences if I’d borrowed $8 trillion that I didn’t have.
My point in this article is that it’s a mistake to think that what happens while someone is president is a direct result of what that president did. These economic processes occur independently of who’s president.
I increasingly believe that the very existence of the presidency is an intentional distraction.
My point in this article is that it’s a mistake to think that what happens while someone is president is a direct result of what that president did. These economic processes occur independently of who’s president.
These sentences are substantially false (even if it’s true that a plethora of factors, many not under a President’s control, collectively determine economic performance in any given era). Biden (and the Fed during his first two years) created around 90%+ of the inflation; the rest was due to supply chain issues and the hangover from Covid (note: it’s impossible to disentangle these variables precisely; but we have a pretty good idea of their correct proportions). If Biden hadn’t shoveled so much fiscal, and the Fed so much monetary, stimulus into the economy in 2021-22, we wouldn’t have had the worst inflation in four decades. The financial crash of 2008, OTOH, was not especially Bush’s fault (it was basically a combo of the subprime mortgage disaster, which had its origins in the 1970s Community Reinvestment Act, and overly loose monetary policy from the Fed). I say this as someone who HATED Bush.
But the fairly good economy of the mid-80s was absolutely to Reagan’s credit, as were the few good years under Trump the latter’s achievement. Both men cut taxes; extensively deregulated the Federal government’s control over some portions of the economy (unfortunately, mostly via easily repealable Executive Order); and did not pass big new wasteful spending bills. [That the National Debt rose under Trump – as it has under every other President I think since the 19th century – was mostly a function of autopilot spending, not new Trump spending.] Reagan also, to his immense credit, stood shoulder to shoulder with the only decent Fed chairperson in history – Paul Volcker – as the latter wrung out most of the 70s/80s inflation via very high interest rates, and a short, sharp recession. Reagan 100% owned the “fat years” of the 80s.
I forgot another biggie for why I want Trump. He is the best option to oppose the massive transfer of wealth from Whites to blacks (and everyone else). Most of you know about this transfer but geez, it’s been getting worse and worse.
As a backgrounder, I’ve learned that blacks never wanted equality as MLK said. They want superiority, superiority and to rub our noses in it. What’s the proof? From day one in office, Kamala Harris along with the rest of biden’s administration pushed the concept of equity.
Equity wipes out meritocracy and can only be accomplished by taking from those who did and giving it to those who can’t.
In 2023 biden executive ordered a whole new layer of government bureaucracy by creating an equity group in every part of government. All of a sudden we now have hundreds of equity czars and commissars whose sole reason to be is to find problems where there are none. They have to be well paid in order to give the job credibility, and they have to be people of color because, well, we Whites just don’t get it and we created to problems in the first place. Funding for this massive level of equity bozos will demand more taxes and other ways to take it from us.
They are coming for our wealth, make no mistake, in big ways and small. Another example, in Colorado, our government passed a law saying that all customers of the utility Xcel Energy (gas and electric) MUST pay 75 cents each month for Xcel’s Low-income Energy Assistance Program. This 75 cents has a schedule to increase every so often. It is now up to 79 cents a month and will go up to a dollar at some point. This program used to be voluntary, you could kick in a few bucks a month IF YOU WANTED TO! Now government mandates that you pay for others’ sloth or poor planning. Maybe I’d pay if they would dare give the racial make up of those who donate versus those who get this assistance. It’s a way to mandate this transfer of wealth. Plus, I’m sure that Xcel takes the tax break from donating my money. I have opted out of this and explained why to Xcel. Per the local news, most Xcel customers have no idea this is on their bill. The neighbors I’ve mentioned it to didn’t know. Whites have proven to be very charitable. I want to give to whom I want to and not be forced to give to people who hate me and who want to replace me.
Another way to take our wealth is how Colorado government also voted to have Amazon charge 28 cents for every Amazon order (or sometimes 28 cents for every item ordered) as a fee that goes to the state to be used however they want it to be used. It is another law passed with the goal of paying for the democrat’s pets by fleecing those who have earned it.
Trump will be my best chance of letting me not only keep the money I’ve earned but also invest it and make more. The Democrats hate that.
I forgot another biggie for why I want Trump. He is the best option to oppose the massive transfer of wealth from Whites to blacks
As mentioned in the article, he never even directly addressed whites as a constituency, but he awarded black Americans with the 500-billion-dollar “Platinum Plan” after they rioted throughout the summer of 2020. What was that, if not a “massive transfer of wealth from whites to blacks”?
Jim, absolutely, the Platinum Plan was 100% a gibs to the blacks, just like affirmative action and a massive chunk of welfare. And yes, Platinum Plan was all Trump’s doing.
To my mind, the amount of money for the Platinum Plan pales in comparison to what Biden has set in motion. For example, please read just a few of the paragraphs of this official Treasury Department article,
A Coordinated Strategy to Advance Racial Equity at Treasury by Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo.
https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/a-coordinated-strategy-to-advance-racial-equity-at-treasury
If you were able to stomach what Wally said was coming just from the Treasury Department, now imagine every department, agency, bureau, etc. of Biden’s administration doing the same. The amount of sheer nonsense in paperwork and money wasted seeking all of this equity makes Trump’s Platinum Plan seem small, in my opinion.
Plus, the evil genius of Biden’s “whole of government equity” is that once in place, these equity people and programs can never be eliminated. Biden, because of all of this equity garbage, has created a whole new economic class of peeps of color who make obscene salaries from this equity largess. Can you imagine the cry if Trump discontinues these programs? I hope he will but it will be almost impossible.
And this gem, another executive order straight from the White House:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/02/16/executive-order-on-further-advancing-racial-equity-and-support-for-underserved-communities-through-the-federal-government/
Here is but one quote from this executive order that will add billions to our debt:
“In short, my Administration has embedded a focus on equity into the fabric of Federal policymaking and service delivery. Our work to transform the way the Federal Government serves the American people has been complemented by Executive Order 14035 of June 25, 2021 (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce), which continues to help ensure that my Administration — the most diverse in our Nation’s history — reflects the growing diversity of the communities we serve.”
Now, why does this insane monstrosity of an Executive Order start with the word “Further”? Because Biden already executive ordered the same thing his first day in office. But, being the horrible people we are, we just didn’t get it. Or, as Biden explains it in this executive order:
“These transformative achievements have advanced the work of building a more equitable Nation. Yet, members of underserved communities — many of whom have endured generations of discrimination and disinvestment — still confront significant barriers to realizing the full promise of our great Nation, and the Federal Government has a responsibility to remove these barriers.”
This is terrifying. The Federal Government has a responsibility to remove these barriers? We are sunk.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to further consider where you’re coming from. Having to defend my thinking makes me … think! And do a better job of it.
so would you like to slit your own throat a little or a lot?
I’m not saying that economics aren’t important, they most certainly are. But if nothing is done to address our nation’s demographic, immigration, and crime problems, it won’t matter at all how many tax cuts were passed or how well the stock market is doing. We won’t even have a country to enjoy the fruits of our labor in
Economics can wait until the real problems are addressed. If not, it doesn’t matter in the long run
In 2016, Trump promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. It didn’t happen. During his presidency, did the country suddenly get more white? I tend to remember nonstop rioting in 2020, and nothing was done about it. Why would you think any of this would magically change if he got reelected?
*uninterested not disinterested
This is interesting. The two authors of this Swedish report, which found that immigrants are more likely to rape, are being prosecuted for not having their findings pre-approved by the government before publication. And they wonder why pro-right parties are on the rise in Europe.
https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/a-comparison-between-indoor-and-outdoor-rape-suspects-in-sweden
One would assume (if one were rational!) that a country like Sweden, where the power of feminism and of women politicians is so strong, that there would be outrage at the rape of their “sisters.” Stockholm has been called the rape capital of Europe. On the contrary, their overriding concern seems to be “racism.”
I have found, however, that this is the rule. Feminists are happy to trash White males but when it comes to the misdeeds of dark-skinned males, you find either defense, excuse or silence. Shows you what it is really all about.
The big reason to support the repubs is that the dems actively support black supremacy and voting rights for illegal aliens. The dems will absolutely vote for reparations, they will continue to push DIE for businesses and will promote incompetent blacks over Whites. Repubs will continue to to call for a “color blind” society, but at least they aren’t openly hostile to Whites.
As childish as it is, I giggle like a geisha girl thinking of a Trump victory and the hissy-fit, pink-panty meltdowns which will result.
I relish the visual of no-talent Hollywood ass-clowns, like Robert De Niro, curling up in fetal positions and crying on the floor. Or of stud-busting diesel-dykes, like Rosie O’Donnell, getting their boxer shorts all bunched up.
A real possibility is Biden being pressured to drop out and limousine liberal Gavin Newsom running. California has been circling the drain for decades. Imagine that guy running the country! His Weinstein wanking wife would be first lady.
Or if Biden gets re-elected, gives up the ghost, and Kamala is in charge!
This country is doomed as it is. A Trump/DeSantis ticket would be much less shitty plus good for a few laughs. To quote the late poet Morrison, “I want to have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames!”
I don’t expect anything from Trump if he somehow gets elected. All the same, I intend to vote for him for if nothing else, his presidency compelled the neo-Bolsheviks to come out of their hiding places ensconced in government, media, and academia and howl like mad barking dogs at his every utterance.
By flushing out these beasts, he helped the sanest of us to realize that liberals are not merely “agreeing to disagree” with us, but hate us with a fury that few of us on the dissident right had realized before.
Someone said that good politics requires the clear drawing of “us vs. them” lines. No one does this important task better than Trump.
So go ahead and vote for the Donald, and then get yourself a heaping tub of buttery popcorn. Because this year is going to be epic if nothing else.
Or learn from the LDS temple adherents and stock your basements with extra food, medical supplies, and fuel. The system will hissy fit like a teenaged belle after a perceived slight after a Drumpf reelection. Remember George Floyd, COVID, pussy-riots, and DOJ court cases?
I never understood how people could muster the blind faith necessary to trust in the system’s “pinky swear” promise to accurately count hundreds of thousands of votes and abide by the results with no corruption occurring throughout the whole convoluted process. You might as well believe in the tooth fairy.
Meh, I like Trump. Maybe he sucks but we have to appreciate what he is , which is the best president of our lifetimes and beyond, and not look a gift horse too closely in the mouth.
Perhaps in the future I’ll think differently. There was a time when I thought Mitt Romney was preferable to Bah’raq Obama.
I think Mr. Goad offers some very fair and legitimate criticisms of Trump. While I hope he and many others thinking like him will deign to chose the lesser of two evils, there is gem from the article, “America’s problems are far bigger than which guy gets elected president.” There are simply irreconcilable differences between the historic white America and the multicultural America of Claudine Gay and the “our party is what America looks like!” Democrats. Priceless historical artifacts are not just being removed, but wantonly defaced. The trade-off of being more inclusive for nonwhites is that means being exclusive of whites.
I can’t help but feel that Trump’s, “this time I’m going to deport. I really mean it this time!” is just tried and tired snake oil. The proof was in the pudding with the platinum plan which was the ultimate in perfidy. Lest we forget this was a few months after the state-sanctioned black rioting and looting following George Floyd’s overdose while incidentally having a police officer’s knee on his shoulder.
If Trump wins I don’t think there will be any civil strife save for the most radical of leftist Democrats. Biden’s poll numbers are tanking. The economy is running on fumes. There are even BLM leaders who are now in favor of Trump. The judicial junta against Trump seems to be having the opposite effect intended by Democrat subversives.
I worry all this can be misconstrued as apathy among white identitarians… a willingness to give up comes after not caring. I’m hoping there may be some yet unheard tapes of Trump mocking his base that would sabotage his run. DeSantis is the obvious choice. But as flawed as Trump was, a Republican in the White House allowed for the conservative Supreme Court appointments.
Under Biden there has been relaxation towards free speech. Some relates to Trump energizing his enemies to oppose anything he might propose, including any sympathizers (ex. Obama deported more people than Trump). Some of the expanded free speech may have simply been exhaustion and even liberal elites starting to feel pressure themselves.
It’s often said that the first agenda item for any new president is to start organizing re-election strategy, and Trump was no exception. Some may feel the ‘true’ Trump would come via a 2nd term, though I don’t buy it. I guess I feel more angst than apathy.
I truly wish Trump would go away. I’m surprised at the persistence of his cultish followers.
I’ll hold my nose and vote for him, though. Although I couldn’t really articulate great reasons for doing so. His last term was pretty much a chaotic flop.
One thing’s undeniable. If Joe Biden can be president, anyone can. The position must not be as difficult and crucial as we have been led to believe.
I think the most important thing when it comes to defending white people is trying to vote against mass immigration, especially in Europe. But I’m not sure we need to elect a figure like Trump to really fight against that. I mean, the center-right and the “far right” are already coming together in Europe right now, so why do we need a messiah like Trump?
To me, all that matters is getting enough space and time for whites until our people can actually wake up. Yeah, that may take a few decades, but if we don’t care about politics at all and never try to elect anyone, regardless of political spectrum, anyone who will try to keep the number of migrants down somewhat, then I’m not even sure we can survive as a people that can fight for a spot on the sun again.
About the United States, I think trying to preserve the Midwest is a good idea, but then again I’m not sure we need Trump for that.
And while I agree that electing someone just to piss our enemies is not exactly the best idea, I’m not sure it’s the worst either. But then, I think we already pissed our enemies enough when Trump was elected once and indeed there’s not much he can do for us or not much he wishes to do for us. So, my point is I don’t think we should take that much issue of those are conscious whites who still want to go to a Trump rally, but we all should take issue when a conscious white person is getting all hyped for Trump, because we don’t really want him to win, do we? We just need to be loud enough at live events and the polls so that the jews and anti-whites get angry, but we don’t need to elect the guy..
Also, it’s funny how some people say we should just wait for God to give victory to the good side, our side, while others say we just need to get super involved politics and others say we should just focus just on the values that really matter and rediscover the past so our people can develop a conscience in the first place. To me, it’s all of this, really.
Although this not sound practical. But again, trying to be more clear: 1. when it comes to politics, I think buying time is the most important. 2. Even more important than politics is going back to classic culture, which is something I think Greg does very well on this website and that’s commendable.
But that something else which is just letting things be until nature or God put things in order again, is something I think no one who really gravitates towards our worldview is really doing, even QAnon crazies or radical white christian boomers. Not even them are really just letting things be. Those people are getting more polarized than ever and just telling people to prepare for the end of the world is not “letting things be” either, it’s just making people more agitated.
And what I mean by just letting things be is understanding that although we can buy time and that we should get involved in politics, we also need to understand that our people have been pushing against the natural order for a long time, so they can’t be really saved until the system breaks down. Maybe not completely, but yeah.
However, when something doesn’t yield, then it must break. And it will. So again, I don’t mean we need to turn full edgylord accelerationists, but that we need to buy time until our people can wake up from this dysfunctional lifestyle and then our people will surely pick on our ideas. But then, that will take even more time if we keep trying to help our own more than we should. We need to help our own just enough so they can breath, but enough for them to be comfortable. Finding the balance is the challenge.
And at this point I’m not sure I can properly express my thoughts, but it’s something I hope someone like Greg can understand. By the way, is there any way a mortal can have a live conversation with Greg? Perhaps a long one. Or even a live conversation somewhere on telegram with the author of this particular article would be quite pleasant though.
By the way, there are many important questions that not even the most respectful man on the dissident right or just pro-whites in general seem to be discussing, not even here. Although those are certainly not easy issues to approach, like how prison is a very new and dumb idea, I guess. I think there are some fundamental issues that should be explored more so we can get a better conscience of what we are aiming for here.
And about writing, that’s so tough man. It’s commendable that you guys are still trying, because I can barely bring myself to write something, because it’s just so hard to make people understand without the personal example. But even without the “personal example” stuff I think you guys are doing quite well when it comes to writing and politics. Writing on politics is particularly tough. But I think you guys are doing so well without a biography like Socrates or a particular look into history, so imagine what you guys could do after analyzing history a little bit more – and that’s my final take here – I think it all boils down to looking back at history.
And by that I mean, when I look at history, I think a large part of our european history (which is really world history!) since the middle ages up until modern times has been about centralization vs autonomy/freedom, which is not so different from the history of the Roman Empire, I guess. I mean, I’m not sure of our democracy will or should evolve into something like the Roman Senate, but it will certainly evolve into something else from it’s current form and I’m not sure dictatorship is the answer when we consider that we have been looking for a better balance between centralization and liberty and hierarchy since a long time.
But that’s a star, right? Realizing that the political system as we have today is deeply flawed and won’t last. But that also won’t lead to a dictatorship. Gosh, I really wish I could be better at political science and history or just the english language to articulate this better haha.
