Super-Jew Manlet Ben Shapiro Makes Elon Musk His Bitch and Tops the Pop Charts in the Same Week
Billionaire tech titan Elon Musk shone a light across all nations and gave hope to tired and huddled anti-Semites everywhere on November 15 when he replied, “You have said the actual truth” to a Twitter user who wrote that “Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”
Some eternal optimists cheered it as part of Musk’s brazen war of words with the Anti-Defamation League and his threats to sue them over lost advertising revenue.
But just as with former Great Billionaire Anti-Semitic Hope Kanye West, it didn’t take Musk long before he slavishly apologized to Jews — in Musk’s case, he didn’t even wait two full weeks after agreeing that some Jews push “hatred against whites.”
Musk paid a hurried visit to Israel in late November, toured kibbutzim that Hamas attacked on October 7, and posed for chummy photos with Netanyahu. He also said that “You have said the actual truth” was the “dumbest” post he’d ever made.
Last Monday, Musk resumed his self-flagellation tour by visiting Auschwitz with short, smarmy Zio-Con pundit Ben Shapiro, who back in 2016 had named Yours Truly on his makeshift Schindler’s List of “20 alt-right-friendly or alt-right people/outlets.”
While toting his three-year-old son X Æ A-12 on his shoulders — yes, Elon Musk actually named his son “X Æ A-12” — and dutifully accompanied by Shapiro, he ramped up his public display of penitence by posing for solemn-looking pictures standing outside the tourist facility at Auschwitz and lighting a candle in honor of all those dead Jews while wearing a yarmulke.
Later that day, Musk appeared in a livestream with Shapiro at an event hosted by the European Jewish Association in Krakow where he implied that the Holocaust never would have happened “if there had been social media.” A sample exchange from the discussion:
Shapiro: So let’s talk about the uptick in anti-Semitism more broadly. One of the things that’s been hard to watch as a Jew, but also just as an American and a Westerner, has been the radical upsurge in anti-Semitic activity just generally, anti-Semitic sentiment, appallingly, after October 7th. It’s been astonishing, actually.
Musk: Yes, I must admit to being somewhat frankly naïve about this. In the circles that I move [in], I see almost no anti-Semitism. And you know there’s this old joke, “I’ve got like this one Jewish friend.” No, I have, like, two-thirds of my friends are Jewish. Twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends. I’m, like, Jewish by association. I’m aspirationally Jewish. So I don’t, you know, I was like, “What are people talking about with this anti-Semitism, because I never hear it at dinner conversations?” It’s like an absurdity, at least in my friend circle. But when looking at the pro-Hamas rallies in vast numbers that took place in almost every major city in the West [it] blew my mind. . . . I just, yeah, I grew up around a lot of Jewish people. I went to Hebrew preschool, Rachel Spiro in South Africa. My name is very Jewish. . . . Elon is a pretty Jewish name. It’s super-Jewish. Yeah. And then I went to Israel when I was 13. You know, I mean, you know, visited Masada. I’m certainly checking the boxes on a lot of things. And like I said, most of my friends are Jewish, just worked out that way. Sometimes I, yeah, I guess maybe I forget, am I Jewish? I’m Jewish, aspirationally Jewish.
So is Musk forgiven? Don’t ask me — I’m not Jewish.
In what may have been the most monumental week in Ben Shapiro’s life, he rapped on a musical track that debuted Friday morning and hit #1 on iTunes later that day.
That was not a typo — Ben Shapiro made a guest appearance on an anti-“woke” hop-hop song along with tattoo-and-body-modification casualty Tom MacDonald, an unreasonably successful MAGA-rap impresario. If you’re unfamiliar with the genre, please forgive me for darkening your brain waves with the very notion of MAGA rap, which may be the most appallingly awful musical style in history. Example after example after example after example after example after example will bear out my premise. Some people might even assert that MAGA rap is worse than the Holocaust.
Shapiro and MacDonald’s song is called “Facts,” and you can rape your own ears if you deign to click on that link. In the video, Shapiro is clad in a grey hoodie that says “FACTS DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS,” while MacDonald wears a grey hoodie emblazoned with “I DON’T CARE IF I OFFEND YOU.”
Here are Shapiro’s lyrics in their entirety:
Let’s look at the stats
I’ve got the facts
My money like Lizzo
My pockets are fat
Homie, I’m epic, don’t be a WAP [“wet ass pussy”]
Dawg, it’s a yarmulke
Homie, no cap
Look at the graphs, look at my charts
You’re blowing money on strippers and cars
You’re going to prison
I’m on television
Dawg, no one knows who you are
Keep hating on me on the internet
My comment section all woke Karens
I make racks off compound interest
Y’all live with your parents
Nicki, take some notes
I just did this for fun
All my people download this
Let’s get a Billboard number one.
Should Ben Shapiro be forgiven for this? If you asked me, I’d say “Never.” If you asked me whether he should continue pursuing a career as a rapper, I’d say “Never again.”
Last Summer’s Jacksonville “Dollar General” Shooter’s Manifesto Is Released, and It’s Chock Full of N-Bombs
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
A chubby, neckbearded, 21-year-old white male named Ryan Palmeter shot and killed three black people inside and outside a “Dollar General” store in Jacksonville, Florida in late August of last year before turning his swastika-emblazoned rifle on himself. Back then, Jacksonville’s Sheriff, T. K. Waters, who is a black man, hinted that Palmeter had left a “diary of a madman” that made liberal use of the word “nigger” and espoused a “disgusting ideology of hate.”
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office recently made Palmeter’s “manifesto” available as a PDF on their website. Totaling 27 pages, the document contains 168 “niggers” and 14 “faggots” and bears the charming title “I Killed A Bunch Of Niggers And Faggots (And That’s A Good Thing!).” It features shout-outs to other mass killers such as incel hero Elliot Rodger, anti-Islamists Anders Breivik and Brenton Tarrant, and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. I’ve read a lot of these manifestos, and Palmeter’s is easily one of the crudest. But once you slalom around all the N-bombs, it contains these two oddly affecting passages:
Orwell predicted a boot stomping an unwilling human face. Huxley predicted the pacification of a willing public. Instead, our society consists of a boot stomping on a willing human face.
There is no life left for young white people to live. You either throw away four years for a Bachelor’s only to find out it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on and it hasn’t been for over a decade, or you enter the workforce and wage slave until you can finally make it to a dead end middle management position that pays just well enough to keep you able to distract yourself with disposable income. You will likely either die alone or with a spouse you despise.
If he’d only put down his gun and scaled down the over-niggin’, Palmeter may have helped his cause rather than harmed it.
White Male Zoomers: America’s Least Religious Group?
I’ve consistently stated that what I call “Generational Astrology” is one of the dumbest, most inaccurate, most divisive, and downright demented memes to cyber-rape credulous minds over the past few years, yet it is also one of the most enduring.
I strongly suspect the reasons for its longevity are: 1) the Powers That Be find it to be a useful PSYOP; and 2) those who still cling to seeing the world in terms of entirely arbitrary categories such as Boomers/GenX/Millennials/GenZ are only human, and as humans, they hate nothing more than to admit that their emotions have been played like rusty banjo strings.
Generational Astrology seems to have an especially strong hold over the minds of white, male, meme-impaired, Right-leaning “dissidents” who tend to skew younger; blame women for the fact that women won’t even sleep with them, much less embark on a “trad life” with them; and seem to sincerely believe that hewing to an ancient religion conceived in the Middle East is a more workable forward path for white people than if, say, white people simply agreed that the best way to ensure white people’s survival is for them to start thinking of themselves as white people first and foremost.
It is among this extremely online cohort that a myth has emerged — namely, that young white Christian males, especially sedevacantist Catholics — are the demographic future and that Boomers, non-whites, women, Protestants, and non-believers merely get in the way.
Are they right?
Regarding race, a Pew Research poll found that 70% of whites identify as Christian, whereas 79% of blacks and 77% of Latinos identify thusly. A 2022 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) concluded that whites only account for 42% of all American Christians. That’s bad news for Americans who allege that Christianity is the only way for whites to wriggle out of their current racial dilemma.
As concerns age and its relation to Christianity, the same 2022 PRRI survey found that only 55% of those aged 18-29 identify as Christian, whereas 77% of the dreaded “Boomer” cohort say they are Christians.
Pertaining to sex and religious fervor, a 2016 Pew Research study called “The Gender Gap in Religion Around the World” concluded that “Across all measures of religious commitment, Christian women are more religious than Christian men, often by considerable margins.”
When it comes to the CQ — the Catholic Question — a 2020 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute found that a mere 12% of all Americans are white Catholics. A separate 2022 poll found that a robust 92% of American Catholics support Vatican II, which is bad news for those who dream that Catholicism will somehow suddenly revert to its pre-1960s “based” stances on cultural issues.
So if you’re the type who relies on numbers rather than cultish memes, statistics strongly suggest that young, white males might be less likely than any other major American racial, sexual, and generational demographic to identify as Christian. I’m sure you know how much I hate to be the one who breaks the news to you.
The Legacy Media: Let Them Bleed
Alarums sounded last week about the imminent death of America’s establishment media:
“The Media Is Melting Down, and Neither Billionaires Nor Journalists Can Seem to Stop It”
“Inside the collapsing U.S. political-media-industrial-complex”
“WaPo CEO on news industry cutbacks: ‘The existing model is creaking’”
Apparently, the media’s death is a bloody one. Axios cries that “an ongoing bloodbath is decimating news outlets nationwide.” Yahoo! News says that 2024 is “a year media analysts predict will be one of the bloodiest ever for journalism.” The Los Angeles Times laid off about 20% of its newsroom, which The Wrap described as “the bloodiest layoffs in decades at the nation’s largest West Coast newspaper.” CNN uses the term “hemorrhaging”:
The news industry is enduring a brutal start to the new year, with outlets large and small across the country hemorrhaging reporting staff as legacy business models that kept much of the industry afloat for decades collapse in plain sight.
Although another CNN article didn’t use an explicitly bloody metaphor, its headline blared that “TIME Magazine lays off 15% of unionized editorial staff, becoming latest news outlet to slash workforce,” and I’ll assume that where there is slashing, there will be blood.
In the face of pending layoffs, unionized workers at Forbes, the New York Daily News, and Condé Nast are staging walkouts, as if that’s going to do them any good in the long run.
The recent shakeups led to sanctimonious jeremiads about how this is “dangerous” because the death of “journalism” means the death of “democracy,” as if pure forms of either journalism or democracy have ever existed in the United States. Soon-to-be-fired opinion-mongers lament how we’ll no longer be able to hold public officials “accountable,” as if most of the mainstream media weren’t entirely beholden to public officials and their financiers.
I say let them bleed.

Regarding the last point on media bleeding out, I offer the following for those who haven’t seen it yet:

I was about to post one of these compilations, but you beat me to it 🙂 If it were up to me, every high school student would watch that one in civics class.
I so miss when Tucker Carlson would run a string of maybe fifteen “news”-casters reciting the same scripted rhetoric in the same exact words as if they themselves had just made it up. Almost always with “democracy” in there somewhere. Good times.
Has anyone figured out who is at the source of the transmission belt? That itself would be quite a blockbuster. LOX News is one of the downstream networks, so I bet he should know.
Dunno, Beau.
This is extremely dangerous to Our Democracy.
So let’s ban it, censor it, demonize it, shout it down, tar and feather it, paint a scarlet letter on it, hock loogies on it and run it out of town on a rail like good democracy enthusiasts.
Auschwitz has a gift shop?
Who says we should lament the death of what has never been anything but cagey cherry-picked agenda-rife my-side-right-or-wrong zealotry with axes to grind against most of us and meaningless words to parrot such as “democracy” disguised as “the media?”
Answer: the media.
Back in the day, it also had a post office, an orchestra, a soccer team, a swimming pool, a hospital, and a brothel.
Well said.
(that was a trick question)
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office recently made Palmeter’s “manifesto” available as a PDF on their website.
Chuckling, here. Comic sans. Could this world possibly get any more bizarre?
I am sure it was not in the least edited or redacted.
This week theres been across the internet arguing between Nick Fuentes and Patriot Fronts Thomas Rousseau, I’d be interested to read a Counter Currents article on it.
Also there was the whole discourse over racialism with Will Stancil involved.
Damnit i clicked on that “Facts” video link. What was i thinking?
“Damnit i clicked on that “Facts” video link. What was i thinking?”
@RW – I was innocently watching a Red Ice Radio stream when that video was inflicted upon me. I watched it, with a combination of open-mouthed horror and disbelieving scorn, and I fear it has inflicted a traumatic brain injury. The levels of unintentional self-parody the “song” reveals — truly, it has to be seen to be believed!
For a young White man looking to meet a decent woman, settle down and have children, becoming a Church going Christian is the best bet. The type of woman who attends Mass or goes to services is less likely to be a slut, more likely to want to live a traditional lifestyle and more likely to want to meet a man of the same race. I know four White couples under 30 married with kids, all Church goers. The girl you pick up in a bar or online has probably slept with more men than a Wild West hooker. Find yourself a Church lady.
A Ben Shapiro rap music video was not something I wanted to wake up to. This alone almost ruined my day.
I still like newspapers, such as the NY Times, despite their dumb wokeness. You can easily skim them and read what you like. There’s always something worthwhile in them, such as the crossword puzzles. (It’s too bad they all simultaneously dropped the Dilbert daily cartoon, on orders from The Party.) And its easy to read between the lines of their biased news-coverage and to laugh at their official editorials.
I don’t want newspapers to perish. If some woke billionaire wants to subsidize them, that’s OK. They still do some good to balance the harm.
The TV networks, however – that’s a different story. The sooner they collapse, the better. There is nothing good on TV. It’s all an exercise to brainwash the masses with their sicko ideology.
Maybe more people will begin to realize how much power and influence jews have. The female leftist who went on a shooting spree at the private Tennessee school had a manifesto as well, they are reluctant to publish it. Mainstream news outlets are starting to bleed, the military is going through something similar. Professional sports and Hollywood should be next.
Oh lordy no not the media….
Liberalism cannot afford to lose it’s propaganda instrumentation. I’m thinking people are being laid off because using ChatGPT to rewrite government press releases is simply more cost effective.
Why is it that whenever I read Goad, which is almost every week, I chuckle while reading, but finish hopeless and depressed? I think it’s because I’m still thinking about how to reach whites rationally – perfecting arguments I already had in embryo four decades ago – while the white people I imagine reaching have themselves changed dramatically in the interim. If whites were still modally like my parents in basic outlook, or even like my fellow Boomers, I think we’d win, given the superiority of our arguments today (superior in the sense of being much better developed and evidenced than ever before). Sadly, whites have dramatically declined in intellect, character, and ideology just across my six decades of life. To be fair, my father used to say the same thing – and he was right then, too.
I might be wrong, but the younger whites today really do seem to be the most pathetic and degenerate whites who’ve ever lived. True, today’s young white nationalists are much more sophisticated than I and other prowhites were at their age, and in absolute numbers, there are many more of them. But I speak of young whites generally, not those who’ve been able to make use of the abundance of valuable information that can be gleaned from the internet. When I was in college, I had no access to Wilmot Robertson, or Revilo Oliver, or any information contradicting the liberal racial narrative (which is what most self-styled conservatives have adopted as their own position today). I still recall discovering The Mankind Quarterly among some dusty forgotten stacks in the basement level of my college library. I was amazed to find seemingly honest (ie, non-egalitarian) discussions of racial anthropology (this was prior to terms like “PC” or “woke”). I recall my mounting excitement while reading an article filled with sociobiological terminology I didn’t understand about the evolution of in-group/out-group identifications. I wasn’t sure exactly what I was reading, but I immediately sensed that it was deeply subversive of the regnant liberal paradigm.
IOWs, I think that if my Late Boomer generation had had access to sites like CC or AR, many, many more of us than among today’s young whites would have developed into prowhites. We were less racio-intellectually sophisticated than Gen Z prowhites, but more generationally racially conservative than Gen Z whites. Something has changed. I routinely see pretty young white females coupled up with hideous Hindus and Orientals. You never saw that back in my younger days. My university was much whiter than it is today, but there were still POC (and not only blacks; we had a fair number of foreign nonwhite students). I cannot recall seeing any white females (and certainly not any who were hot) dating nonwhites (I seem to remember a black athlete type dating a Filipino girl in my dorm). I’m sure that those females, most of whom were liberals (yeah, the Ivies were thoroughly ‘progressive’ a long, long time ago – at least since the 60s), would, if asked, have professed to having “no problem” with interracial dating or marriage. But they just didn’t do it.
And, of course, no one pretended that a male could “transition” to a female.
White preservationists need to contemplate the possibility that we’re near “peak-prowhiteness” right now. Any white who wants to free himself from the woke mind virus can do so easily, thanks to the internet. But most seem comfortable with their delusions.
A big problem with the overly online right is a failure to realize that if you are on Twitter, or reading websites like counter currents instead of slate, or unz instead of NYT, then you are so thoroughly ghettoized as to be invisible. As such, play acting mass politics like it’s the 1930s can only serve to alienate the right from the general public. It’s depressing but the way forward isn’t going to be some glorious conflict, and if it were, we would lose. The best way forward for the right, then, is not in the political arena (which I’m not saying to abandon) but in the production of culture/art and especially of humor. Our enemies are pinch faced schoolmarms and their joyless hangers on. They can be dissolved with a laugh
I guess I just don’t belong here — I can’t understand half of this. My only quarrel with the JQ as presented as our detractors is the is the Jewish involvement in banking worldwide — and forever, as in “Christ chased the money-changers from the Temple” — and their continuing use of USURY which continues to this day to impoverish millions. Usuary alone is the basis of poverty, nothing else. I am convinced this is what got them drawn and quartered in Germany etc., about 90 – 100 years ago. We’ll stop with the ‘antisemitic’ squawking when they stop with the impossibly high interest rates which entangle less-intelligent people into a never-ending web of loan debt.’
