During a recent conversation with the influencer Richard Hanania, Jared Taylor of American Renaissance made some disparaging comments about white West Virginians. Hanania, who claims Palestinian descent, was baiting Taylor, a white nationalist, about why he doesn’t just move to West Virginia, which is one of the whitest states (92.8%) in the US but also one of the poorest. Taylor took the bait:
Taylor: West Virginia is a strange problem. It is full of white people but some of the lowest grade white people I believe I’ve ever seen in my life.
Hanania: Oh, you’re going to get in trouble.
Taylor: I don’t disagree. We are not all superior human capital. And I remember I spent a couple of days in the capital of West Virginia…Charleston, West Virginia. And after walking around for awhile I thought to myself, ‘Boy, there must be a city ordinance that says in order to live in this city you have to be fat and have a tattoo and smoke cigarettes.
Hanania erupts in rapturous laughter.
Taylor: In all human groups, whites are on a bell curve and somehow those at one unfortunate end of the bell curve seem to have ended up in West Virginia. These are still my brothers and sisters and I want to bring them along in the most useful way possible.I want them to be the best white people they can possibly be but West Virginia is not where the best ones are.
Many of the brightest white identitarians in the country live in West Virginia. Peter and Lydia Brimelow live in Berkeley Springs. Warren Balogh and Emily Youcis live here. And I just recently moved to within an hour of the Charleston area Taylor is talking about. I’m not a carpetbagger either. Some of my English ancestors settled in the hills of West Virginia, before 1776 even. My maternal grandmother went to school in a one room building in the hollers of this state. She was one of the brightest women in my family and what intelligence I have must have come substantially from her.

This is not an anomaly. While West Virginia may not have the highest average IQ in the country, at 98.7, it is only 3.2 points off from Virginia where Taylor and I have both lived throughout most of the 21st century. The highest average IQ in the country is apparently Massachusetts at 104.3. That’s not a huge spread especially considering that West Virginia is above the United States’ average IQ of 97.43. It is certainly an overstatement to claim they are the “lowest grade white people.”
The whole conversation smacks of “IQ Nationalism” where all that matters is raw intelligence. Before I moved to West Virginia I lived in Northern Virginia, near Taylor. While it is true that some of the wealthiest, most physically fit whites I have ever seen live there they are a distinct minority, existing mostly in highest concentration in suburban enclaves where the nonwhite majority is priced out. These are not proud white people but whites who have welcomed a foreign invasion. Entire blocks of neighborhoods are entirely populated by Central Americans, Africans, Arabs… you name it. I would often go into stores and be the only white person there. Which begs the question, how valuable is genius if its used to stab you in the back?
West Virginia has its good and bad elements like any other. There are very few blacks here but where they are concentrated in the cities, there is an unfortunate degree of race mixing. Yet, this element varies across the West from community to community. There was an unusual degree of it in my hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, a wealthy liberal city. True, many of the youth in the most urban environments of West Virginia are not physically fit and have a lot of weird piercings. I chalk this up to the fact they are trying to rebel from an identity which has been slandered and shamed. The exact kind of comments Hanania and Taylor made reflect a common stereotype of white West Virginians: that they are low class, white trash and stupid. It’s only natural that people would run from that identity.
However, the vast majority of West Virginians are race-loyal and conservative. Support for mass deportations is 93% in West Virginia. That’s 12 percentage points higher than the runner up, Mississippi. 70.1% of West Virginians voted for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. That is second only to Wyoming at 72.3%.

Poor whites are not just some retarded cousins we should take pity on. The people of Appalachia have been left behind culturally and economically by their own government. They have been exploited by vultures like the Sackler family, whose intentionally addictive Oxycontin pills absolutely ravaged an already destitute population. Instead of hope, they received a narcotic to numb away the hopelessness.
When I lived in the Northern Virginia-Washington D.C. area I saw the discrepancy in how my government treats a majority black population. They are appointed to six figure jobs basically pushing paper while padding DEI numbers. Like everywhere in the country, they are welcomed into universities in astounding numbers, even when their test scores are much lower than white applicants. The result of this significant, disproportional investment in a community of black “human capital” is that they are driving the nicest cars, dining at the finest restaurants and have a level of social status denied to most white Appalachians.
Yet, the same could be done here. I wager that in a Trading Places scenario, West Virginians treated to the same rise in educational and financial attainment as blacks in Washington D.C. would see remarkably higher improvements in culture and sophistication. Their IQs would go up and their BMIs would go down as their budgets allowed for greater nutrition and gym memberships.
This is the program that white identitarians should be offering to our brothers and sisters of all economic backgrounds. It took thousands of years for humans to evolve into distinct races and it is preposterous to believe West Virginians vary genetically in any significant way from other white Americans. The infliction of these stereotypes are grounded in class bigotry and subconscious antiwhite attitudes that can inflict even even dedicated white partisans.
Since I began speaking out about this issue on social media I have received a lot of support. However, I have also received a shocking number of comments saying, “Jared is right” reinforced by the fact Jared himself has deflected on the issue rather than issuing an apology and retraction. The raw IQ numbers, not that that is everything, show that this is nothing but a bigoted assumption people have internalized about West Virginians. So far, I love living in this state. I moved here for exactly the reason that Hanania suggested and I would recommend others do the same. The home prices are low, the people are friendly, and I don’t feel like a foreigner in my own country for the first time in my adult life.

My basic assessment is that it was an unwise thing to say. But maybe what Jared said will appeal to some other White demographics in the USA who feel the same way about WV.
Either way, Jared Taylor is still one of the greatest White advocates in the world.
Jared Taylor has done some good work, no doubt, but he’s a snob.
“However, I have also received a shocking number of comments saying, ‘Jared is right’ reinforced by the fact Jared himself has deflected on the issue rather than issuing an apology and retraction.”
Let me add to the chorus of “Jared is right.” He’s spent decades speaking the truth without ever apologizing. No one who has been to WV can deny that there is a serious population quality problem there. I appreciate his frankness, and I wouldn’t want one of the last few honest and candid men in the world to start mincing his words for fear of offending people. It’s outrageous for a man who wrote a book titled The Death of Free Speech to make a leftist-style demand for an apology, especially over a statement that is true!
Taylor is indeed a uniquely talented communicator and advocate. Nothing that he said here changes that.
But you’re laying it on a little thick.
I wouldn’t want one of the last few honest and candid men in the world to start mincing his words for fear of offending people.
He isn’t nearly as frank talking about Jews as he is white West Virginians.
Beat me to it JK. I was in the New River Gorge area this summer for vacation, and I loved it. Friendly Whites everywhere. I plan to move there as soon as I retire, if not sooner. Keep standing up for your people despite their “quality problem”s. And always remember that the originators of the WV, Polish, black, etc. jokes are those about whom it is not permitted to joke.
Yeah,Taylor is not the best on the JQ: he basically uses the same trick as the media, that being classify Jews who do things he doesn’t like (in his case leading anti-white crusades) as white while–and then scratches his head as to why they would hate “their own kind” so much–touting the Jewishness of Jews who seem pro white; hence, Noel “Race Traitor” Ignatiev is “white” while Eric Zemmour is Jewish.
By the way, I actually had some specific ideas about what might be done to help WV whites. Can I DM you on Gab (if you’d like to hear them)?
Sure. You can also email me at [email protected]
“He isn’t nearly as frank talking about Jews as he is white West Virginians.”
Ain’t that the damn truth.
Good point, and he also spoke in degrading terms of Indians recently. I don’t want to see America overrun by Indian H1B visas any more than any of you do, but to me Indians for the most part seem to be wonderful people. Of course I’ve known some jerks or problem cases, but they’re bad eggs inevery barrel. I’m a little perplexed at this spate of anti Indian demagoguery to suddenly come out of the right. When we speak ill of people I like to think it’s for demonstrable reasons and not “hate.”
Oh man, DP, you are way off rez on this comment. There are good and bad among all peoples, but some groups are better (not just “different and unique”, but objectively better) than others. The Hindus we’ve needlessly imported tend to be among the very best India has to offer (not “best” morally, but cognitively). That’s an artifact of our weird, “democratic” immigration policy (“democratic” in the sense of its being the result of the endless special interest pleading and legislative horse-trading that is characteristic of one moron, one vote democracies (especially multiethnic ones, wherein the original demos has been radically diluted)). But Hindus in general are not good people, and we certainly DO NOT WANT them brought (in their billions) here (or elsewhere in the white homelands that comprise the West).
No, if you read what I said, I don’t want them in white countries, nor any other foreign group. I think most of the problems in India actually stem from overpopulation. There’s a billion people crammed into that little country. When populations get that dense and competitive, human life and the gentler concerns of humanity get very cheap. All these places, Mexico, Central America, Dominican republic and the Caribbean, they’re all uncomfortably overpopulated. We don’t want that to happen here! These places are essentially decompressing into the rich and relatively unpopulated white countries. Moreover, to varying degrees their human capital is a lot lower than ours.
My point was the odd contrast in Taylor’s tone on whites and Indians versus that other group. ( it’s rhetorical of course, the answer is likely same as anyone, fear.)
Also this sudden anti Indian demagoguery seems top down. I suspect it’s an effort to shift discourse away from Gaza, especially on Twitter. (Which content creators like bc it’s less risky, ref part 2 above)
I’d count Taylor’s comment as a ‘gaffe’. There’s too much being made of it and this crowd is quick to poke out the eyes of allies.
It never ceases to amaze me that the ‘good immigrants’ from Asia and India are way more racist than westerners. India still has remnants of a caste system. Nonetheless, an all white society would also self segregate into its own caste system of elites and non-elites. The progressive model is to import cheap labor so as to enable the past generation of elites to hold onto their position. The big question is which brand of economists are correct. Is this a giant Ponzi scheme of cheap labor that will collapse? Or is it the fuel for innovation and being #1 in a number of indices that allow the machine to continue to run.
“Oh man, DP, you are way off rez on this comment.”
How could that be more “off rez” than your recent comment here that you have many jewish friends?
I had a lot of experience with Indians in the Washington D.C. area. They pile into a house with all their extended family like Africans do. They are horrible tippers and treat blue collar workers contemptuously.
Yes, I’ve heard Indians refer to blue collar White men as “Cooters”, after the tow-truck driver on Dukes of Hazzard.
I see N. American tipping as a signal that you understand the obligations of the served to honour the servant as a fellow American (created equal?). Not many non-Americans get this, egalitarian Australians included, until the pay structure of service jobs in the US is explained to them
I can inagine non-Whites without our noblesse oblige and used to exploiting racially distinct lower castes may be even less inclined to indulge this custom which seems so natural to you.
Have a look at this homemade documentary on Odysee.

Just don’t watch it whilst eating.
It’s not overpopulation, it’s that the average Indian is barely sentient & they have a terrible low trust society. There are quite a few high-functioning societies with a higher population density than India. Hong Kong, Singapore, Monaco, & South Korea being some examples.
The Indians in the West are typically from the middle & upper classes, so that’s why they’re more well put together, but I’d also suggest that it’s very easy to be nice when you’re getting access to another people’s civilisation & wealth & get to run away from the mess you’ve left back in your own homeland. It’s a surface-level kindness, they can’t believe their luck that you’re essentially just giving up your civilisation & the labour & living conditions that your ancestors bled & died for to them.
It’s like being a good sportsman when you win, it doesn’t mean much, it’s how you react when you lose. If India was a desired destination & millions of White people started squatting in India, you think these very same people would be nice to you as a White person? And don’t forget just how nepotistic they are, which is very dangerous for individualistic Whites as they flood our territories; but it will at least help White people return to a more collectivist mindset.
They’re not particularly nepotistic in my experience, at least not like certain other groups.
Jeremy Mackenzie and Canadians will tell you all you need to know about the indians.
Indians have a country. Do you? And if so, why do you want to fill it with Indians?
Re: “He isn’t nearly as frank talking about Jews as he is white West Virginians.”
I actually was lucky enough to see video of the single moment that Jared actually mentioned “Jews” years back, at a video-recorded public speaking engagement. He very briefly stated, something to the effect of “I never discuss Jews because I don’t really notice any differences of substance between Jews & Whites.”
Maybe his wife is of Jewish descent.
Let me join you in that chorus. I was in Winchester, Virginia (very close to WV) a few years ago and honestly thought the same regarding many of the whites there. That doesn’t mean they are not my people or that I choose others over them.
Jared Taylor has been our best spokesman for many years now and has paid a high price for speaking up for our people. Perhaps we cut him a little slack here.
I don’t see that Taylor’s paid any price at all. He still seems to live well and comfortably in the home he’s lived in for decades. Other people who have suffered more would also be held account for snobbish comments like those made by Taylor. The Romans confronted this problems of ‘excusing current crimes because of past contributions’ and decided that it was a bad idea.
Part of the problem is that someone who was being genuine was talking to someone who was being disingenuous. The weird smirk on Hanania’s face during their discussion said it all.
Hanania’s orgasmic delight at goading a celebrated white advocate into bashing white people reveals a deeply sinister ethnic animus.
And that sinister animus is written all over his face.
JT may spend too much time around or make too much of an effort to impress “sophisticates” like Hanania.
I think that Hanania’s delight is what most people are reacting to. Jared’s statements are perfectly defensible. But Hanania’s delight is obscene. So direct your ire at Hanania, not Jared.
I went to college in West Virginia and hope to move back there permanently at some point. Nothing but good things to say about the Mountain State.
Charleston is an absolutely picturesque city that everyone should visit. The Capitol building complex there is beautiful, and features not only the Stonewall Jackson statue pictured above, but also one of the heroic Senator Robert C. Byrd.
Taylor is not wrong about many West Virginians being overweight, but like Jason said, that’s mainly due to diet and poverty, not genetics. WV does lose a lot of its college graduates to other states because there aren’t a ton of job opportunities in much of the state. I’m sure this has lowered the mean IQ somewhat, but it’s not like the Mountain State is some third world country. The economy used to be dominated by “King Coal”, but mining isn’t the cheapest way to get electricity anymore. Southeast WV especially is bleeding population.
82K people voted in the WV gubernatorial election in 2024, which I’m sure is smaller than the number of White Nationalists in the United States. If enough of us move to the Appalachian volkstaat, we can elect Emily Youcis governor if we so choose. The day the statue of the tyrant Abraham Lincoln is taken down from the steps of the Charleston Capitol and replaced with one of Alfred Alfer will be a glorious one indeed!
Poverty causes a lot of health problems related to weight:
1. No money for gym memberships
2. Can’t afford high quality food
3.Over-eating to self-medicate feelings of despair
I’m sure there are many more examples.
I agree with the general thrust of your article, insofar as I hate talking negatively about any whites (including even LGBTQs) unless they’re racial disloyalists, but this list is unserious.
You think you need a gym membership to keep trim? Seriously? Obesity is largely a function of diet (incl. alcohol, which isn’t cheap), not exercise. Walking is all one needs for exercise, and pushups, or modest calisthenics for the elderly, can be done anywhere (I do have a gym membership, which I rarely use, and which incidentally costs $15 per month for life). Eating healthily, moreover, is often substantially cheaper than eating junk. Literally yesterday, my local supermarket, located in one of the most expensive areas of the US, was selling tinned sardines, which are very healthy, for $.89; as I eat sardines once per week, usually with a salad or some fruit, I purchased about 50 tins. I purchased an 18oz container of blueberries, which I eat every day, for $5.40; apples were on sale for $1 lb., bananas $.80lb., deals, deals, etc.
I can understand overeating due to despair, and have sometimes done that myself (esp. when feeling hopeless about my race’s future, to whose preservation I devoted so much of my life). But still, isn’t that a function of character, too?
There is no doubt that the upper class (of all races) is thinner than the lower classes of all races. Why is that? I suspect that genetics plays a role. Fat people do worse in life due to stigma and unattractiveness, and this obesity-based genetic class stratification has been going on for several generations in the US: already in high school in the 70s I was noticing that the richer girls tended also to be prettier, and not due to plastic surgery or more expensive makeup.
But one also notices that the upper classes place a much higher value on their appearance than the lower classes do. I know and have known many rich people, and the mothers (and now the wives) of friends were/are always dieting, exercising, and generally obsessing about fat.
Taylor probably is at least somewhat correct in his caustic observations. Still, prowhites should always keep their focus on criticizing nonwhites, and the diversitist traitors in our ranks, while quietly and positively encouraging our own people to be the best they can be. I admire West Virginia, and am considering retiring there in a few years as well (though I do have a lengthy list of other possibilities).
I’ll echo much of this. WVA is also thought of as a vacation destination to get exercise in the beauty of the mountains. A few centuries ago, looking a little ‘Rubenesque’ was associated with the aristocracy, who were more well fed than emaciated peasants.
Bascom Lamar Lunsford did much to preserve Appalachian and hillbilly culture (and an influence on Alan Lomax, Harry Smith and Bob Dylan). At the same time, he deliberately represented himself in neat clothing to avoid entrenched stereotypes about hillbillies. This is a lost concept, but in part because the progressive media love to highlight anyone white who looks backward and ‘can’t speak no properly’ for the camera.
Also just the quality of food available now, sedentary modern lifestyle, & liberal individualist identity decay that results in tattoos is to blame here. Their physical bodies are a reflection of the greater cultural & spiritual rot.
Poor ‘low IQ’ White people only 50 – 70 years ago were thin, without tattoos, & well-dressed in public.
And this is why I’m a National Socialist or ‘active nationalist’. The entire culture needs to change & it starts with raising a strong, healthy, disciplined, & connected youth.
The “Elite Human Capital” mindset also ignores that you need class & IQ variation to have successful civilisation. You’re telling me that all this self-proclaimed “Elite Human Capital” are going to do all the hard labour required to sustain civilisation when they’re too busy looking at themselves in the mirror?
Yeah, that would be a day to celebrate. I now look back in embaressment and shame at how although I was always a race realist with non-whites I was for much of my life taken in (for my arrogance) by Jews’ use of Southern/white trash stereotypes:
https://counter-currents.com/2023/05/info-parody-a-strategy-for-reaching-normies-part-2/
Just out of curiosity, are you a northern Copperhead like me or a native Southerner?
I’m a native Midwesterner, from the same state as you are in fact, but I have an ancestor from New Orleans who fought for Dixie.
I live an hour from there. Happened before I moved here, but Charleston went hard into Covid-mania. Almost all the businesses there are independent so the result was widespread closure of lots of stuff. Downtown verges on a ghost town. Huntington is doing better.
Very disappointed in these attacks on Jared Taylor. Especially when he said the following:
“These are still my brothers and sisters and I want to bring them along in the most useful way possible.”
Well isn’t that so generous of him. They’re at the low end of the bell curve, not elite human capital and low grade…but he’ll make use for them somehow, bless their hearts.
Here is more from Jared Taylor:
“I have been called to task for saying rude things about West Virginians. As @GraduateBen notes, they are warm-hearted people who look after not just neighbors but strangers. Working-class whites will be the backbone of any true national populism. We are all brothers and sisters.”
I agree that too much is made of a few points difference in IQ averages. It’s less about test scores and food deserts than an insular culture. Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana are pretty much as obese as WVA. The remote roads and hollers of WVA have preserved its whiteness, but also made it a challenge to bring change for the good.
There are no easy answers here and plenty of white cities elsewhere have a rough white neighborhood with drug and crime issues. The drug and food desert explanation is also used by black communities. Some see the Sacklers as an easy explanation for opioid epidemic (even though all the major drug companies were selling their own brand of opioid). The black community had their own easy explanation, blaming the crack epidemic on the CIA. The poor folks of WVA become an inconvenient exception when certain types boast about whites having better test scores and lower crime rates than others. But the modern media tends to give Appalachia short shrift in the compassion realm compared to what they dole out to immigrants and minorities. Simply look at the limited outrage for the response to Hurricane Helene.
“plenty of white cities elsewhere have a rough white neighborhood with drug and crime issues”
Could you give some contemporary examples in the US? This was true as recently as the 1970s and 80s, but I doubt it now. Lower class whites are not urban in the US anymore.
“Lower class whites are not urban in the US anymore.”
This is nonsense.
There are fewer urban white ghettoes, but not fewer lower class whites in urban areas. The communities exist as pockets, not entire sections of town. It’s more decentralized, because it isn’t a result of self segregation like the black communities.
You’re not going to see the kinds of urban white ghettoes that existed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but there are still significant poor white urban communities all over the US. Everywhere.
There are poor, crime ridden white areas that are known to progressives, but not as many as for black or immigrant communities. Progressives see it as a “disparity” issue. The opioid crisis among whites is not limited to Appalachia. When I mean city, I’m generalizing to include towns and white areas of bigger cities… Even Salt Lake City is only 65% white. Find an area where there used to be a thriving steel mill or coal mine and you will find poor whites.
The dilapidated Brightmoor neighborhood in Detroit (film site of Barbarian) is one of the whitest Detroit areas (30%), with some blocks apparently 2/3 white.
In Philadelphia, there are 22 majority white neighborhoods (note: not supermajority) where white poverty has risen.
https://whyy.org/articles/new-census-figures-on-philly-neighborhoods-show-inequality-high-numbers-of-whites-living-in-poverty/
The names of the following very poor towns are not made up:
California has Weedpatch and Richgrove that are about 45% each White and Pacific Islander .
Jamestown TN (92% white),
Urania Louisiana (96% white),
Waldoboro, Maine (97% white, less crime)
Jonesville VA (99% white, presumably Jared Taylor doesn’t live there)
Whitley City & Marshes Sliding, KY (99% white)
The poorest and trashiest white areas are nothing like the nonwhite inner cities in terms of violent crime. They are only slightly higher in crime rate to more affluent white areas, mostly secondary to poverty issues. There’s no white area where you would fear for your life just walking through, like (almost all)nonwhite inner cities.
There are poor white areas – even ones that have drug problems – but they tend not to have much violent crime.
Source? West Virginia (93% white) has a higher murder rate than California, NY, Minnesota (76% white, home of George Floyd), and New Jersey (55% white, location of Newark). Speaking from experience, if you don’t carry yourself like a fool, you can walk through a rough black or white neighborhood without getting pounced upon. Your odds worsen the longer you stay, such as choosing to live there. There is much to love about the land and people of WVA and many cannot easily choose to leave. But I don’t see many easy fixes other than gentrification (making it a resort type state) or creating new industries, both a challenge as the terrain is relatively inaccessible (~75% mountainous).

Isn’t there a/some West Virginia MMA, boxer sports hero to serve as an example of what West Virginian men could be, should be?
I think the sport of high school, college wrestling not the fake WWF wrestling is a great sport and ha Whites do very well in this sport.
Let’s promote it.
How about less blogs about gloom and doom – poor White girls in Northern England being gang raped by Palestinian sexual grooming gangs and nobody doing anything about it?
How about a ha white High School, college sports blog with photos, fan clubs. Leave out tackle football (Stupid sport, stupid name it’s a derivative of rugby not football/soccer) and basketball. Other sports our White men and women are doing very well. We’ve dominated the middle to heavier weights of boxing for over 20 years – OK, pretty much all White British and Eastern Europeans, but, they are IMO are kin folk.
Why just be a couch potato and have the Je* tube force 5 days a week of NFL Negro Felon League on us?
Pakistani, not Palestinian.
Just some random speculation here, but I’ve always wondered if signaling against poor whites like that isn’t a part of the secret desire a lot of far right folks have to finally be a part of the cool kids club and say something popular/fashionable/uncontroversial, as opposed to always going against the grain. After spending a large portion of their lives feeling like complete pariahs they finally have a chance to get some “atta boys” from the establishment or power structure they’ve been fighting for so long. And looking down on poor or working class whites is pretty much the path of least resistance when it comes to any public displays of snobbery. I will admit, though, I am surprised to see it coming from someone as awesome and formidable as Jared Taylor.
I’ve never lived in or been to West Virginia but I have lived in various places in East Tennessee and met some perfectly brilliant and articulate natives. Very rarely have I encountered the buck-toothed and barefoot cliche that seems to be ubiquitous in the wet dreams of every urban Jew.
part of the cool kids club
was thinking the same thing. But Jared’s rep is iq, perhaps undeserved, but I think if him as the iq guy.
to me it’s about piety and culture. We owe more charity to our own than to foreigners. Non whites are simply foreigners. Kiplings poem the stranger tells mindset perfectly.
It has nothing to do with superiority in any area but our duty to our own kind first because they were given to us first. That’s why the is thing isn’t always the best way to go for arguments for an ethnostate
I would say Steve sailer, Charles Murray, and their ilk are “iq people.” Taylor is about whiteness, but the only thing that irks people is his refusal to take a hostile position on the jq, about which there are varied and sundry theories. I think that it’s useful to have many different positions and approaches. There are levels of discovery in this.
I frequently see this take that saying Appalachia needs help is the equivalent of ‘mo money fo dem programz.’ When blacks say that, the problem is not that funding social welfare programs is inherently bad, it’s that blacks are already given every advantage by the federal government.
Moreover, this is not an issue of lack of programs benefitting poor whites. The problem is government policies in this country are deliberately engineered to harm these people. Many of the communities throughout Appalachia that are now hells were once respectable working class towns before all the factories shut down to move abroad, the remaining jobs were supplanted with mestizo and coolie slave labor, the coal mines withered under anti-‘Climate Change’ policies, and government-backed pharmaceutical companies deliberately and explicitly (per Purdue Pharma’s court-released emails) targeted them for opioid distribution.
I find it absolutely insane how many whites in this country seem to believe that if you move one state over, the white people spontaneously go from normal to subhuman. People making these claims often point out the poor performance of states like Mississippi and Alabama on things like standardized tests and IQ, as though the problem in those states is that the whites there inexplicably devolved into troglodytic retards, rather than those averages being torpedoed by a nearly half black population.
The establishment (and, it must be said, Republicans in particular) have been demonizing these people rhetorically and victimizing them politically for decades. Recall that in 2015 the National Review wrote of Trump supporting Appalachians “the truth about these communities is that they deserve to die.” This has been an absolutely disastrous policy for the establishment, one of the main reasons that white people’s faith in the system eroded to such an extent that they thrice elected Trump in protest. It would be incredibly foolish for white nationalists to similarly alienate the group most receptive to our ideas, and even more foolish to do so in the name of sociopathic, hypercapitalist, basic bitch Conservative talking points.

Hear hear. I suspect a lot of them know it’s the black population that bring those numbers down but they also know they can’t say that and remain respectable, so pissing all over poor whites serves as a convenient and fashionable explanation.
Another factor to keep in mind is that many poor Whites are the descendants of a people the U.S. government will never completely forgive: Southern ers. Something that my Southern-born parents firmly believed is that Southern Whites will forever be punished for the Civil War. So-called Reconstruction did all it could to wreck the South’s native human capital, and that stigmitization continues on a low-key level, even today. The ignorant Southern hillbilly trope is baked into the American narrative.
Both of my parents grew up in a Depression-era Appalachian farming community. They experienced a level of poverty unimaginable today, and it marked them for life. My father moved “up North” to work in a factory, lacking even a high school diploma and achieved great success after decades of hard work, sacrifice, and constantly seeking to attain more education, and acquire ever more advanced skills. (And yes, I am very well aware of all the factors that has made this impossible for young White men today.)
Those people who never left that area? On the surface, they are much as described by the Jared Taylor comment. This, however, is a fact: they are the most racially loyal, family-centered, generous and kind-hearted people I have ever encountered. I have lived in Chicago, Nashville, Boise, and many other places. Attractive, fit, intelligent, even glamorous White people are definitely concentrated in larger cities. What good are they, though, for our racial survival when so many of them consider being White a source of embarrassment, or even shame, and strive to be “post-racial”?
This article by Jason Kessler is exactly on target. Excellent work!
I’m not a fan of the “Jews targeted White Trash with opioids” argument, but I do think that many elites and officials have tended to believe that it is cheaper to provide drugs for unemployed and underemployed Whites than it is to provide decent healthcare.
I support our own people calling out White Trash. The junkie who ran me over in the crosswalk at the University was actually White.
It is up to us to correct the errancy of our own people ─ which includes calling out as degenerate the kids getting their f’ing tattoos. I’m a firm believer in “broken windows law enforcement.” Our people can do better. We have to mentor our own better too.
That having been said, the problem with West Virginia is not the White people. Full Stop.
These communities don’t need to “whither and die on the vine” or be pruned somehow, but some of them do need to change fundamentally.
West Virginia has never been gifted with prosperous agriculture. Rockefeller Coal was only game in town and it is always in boom or bust mode.
Many of my family come from a long line of miners, Scots, English and Welsh, though all went out West by the end of the Civil War. And yes, I do have a Confederate ancestor who starved to death in a Union PoW camp. These people right down to my own Grandfather, who had an eighth-grade education, were always looking for the mother load but they never struck it rich.
My Dad was born in a small agricultural town named Fruita on the Colorado River on the Western slope of the Rockies. Previous to tourist-focused gentrification it was good at producing poor White Trash. Billie Eilish’s mother is from there, LOL.
Anyway, he changed majors in college from Mining Engineering and went into Mathematicss and Statitistics instead, and was employed in Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering after Sputnik, and never looked back.
In any case, King Coal is simply a poison and it has to end. We can generate clean electricity from nuclear reactors without CO2 and stop mercury pollution in the oceans from burning coal.
Some serious investment needs to pour into the state of West Virginia to create robust infrastructure and to retrain these people for modern work, including information technologies. When families are economically secure the ancestral roots run deep and they thrive.
Raising the prosperity of the workers will make it easier for spin-off industries and small business to flourish in the mountain state as well. White Community is crucial.
Politicians have often gone to West Virginian bearing the loaves and fishes ─ from JFK standing on a child’s high chair to LBJ squatting on the porch of some hayseed’s rustic shack to launch the War on Poverty. These promises were seldom kept because politicians wanted their votes but they never needed their people.
We have to change that.
This development plan needs to be more comprehensive than just “dem programs.” Take the example of the Tennesee Valley Authority or the National Laboratories.
Goverment-sponsored dams enabled fertilizer and munitions plants to be built that used the cheap electrical power ─ and soon backwards places like Huntsville, Alabama became centers for things like the Army Ballistic Missile Agency that started the U.S. space program with German scientists like Wernher von Braun settling there after the war, and then the Marshall SpaceflightCenter.
So today Huntsville is a top-notch scientific center. Huntsville is, for example, the number 2 place for Amateur Radio conventions in the U.S. The number 1 is near Dayton, Ohio and centers around the aerospace industry near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. There are many such examples.
These kinds of economic development plans need not necessarily be focused on the military ─ that is just the easiest way to mobilize national efforts ─ but from our perspective, they do need to always celebrate White people and their potential.

I have a running game here. How many comments does it take before someone starts blaming everything on the Jews (especially in articles where they aren’t mentioned)?
Jared Taylor does come off more like a fuddy duddy William F. Buckley type than a Texan like George Bush or Rick Perry. But this is needed. The progressive media quickly shuts down white identity movements by almost exclusively making comments that will alienate the so called “normies” who are in need of education. He’s well spoken, avoids trash talk and you can imagine he would open a door to let out an insect rather than grab a fly swatter, “Thanks for stopping by Mr. Ant…. Oh, by the way, does your colony still oppose immigration from outside ant colonies?”
The challenge for investors is going to be turning a profit in WVA. Some rich wall street types apparently built or re-built a ski mountain there. That’s a start for bringing in money from out of state. No doubt the progressives have an alternative suggestion that WVA colleges need to invest in diversity officers to create jobs. I was just making that up as a wisecrack, but a quick web search and it’s true.
J Webb: January 12, 2025 I have a running game here. How many comments does it take before someone starts blaming everything on the Jews (especially in articles where they aren’t mentioned)?
Jared Taylor does come off more like a fuddy duddy William F. Buckley type than a Texan like George Bush or Rick Perry. But this is needed. The progressive media quickly shuts [sic] down white identity movements by almost exclusively making comments that will alienate the so called “normies” who are in need of education.
—
Can I play your game, Mr. Webb? This article doesn’t mention Jews, but the day after it appeared its author wrote:
[Jared] isn’t nearly as frank talking about Jews as he is white [sic] West Virginians.
Jared isn’t frank at all when talking about Jews, if he does. I don’t know. I don’t follow him. He said that WV is full of low grade White people. What a stupid thing to say. Would he say that about Jews he’s seen in northern Virginia? Probably not unless they are fat, tattooed and smokers. He sees them as elites, like him.
J, I expect you’re about as interested in the JQ as Jared. I doubt George Bush or Rick Perry have any interest in exposing Jewish perfidy either. In fact, I am certain that they don’t. They, like nearly all national politicians are as fuddy duddy as Buckley when it comes to the JQ. They may discuss Jewish supremacy in private — like Billy Graham and Dick Nixon did 53 years ago, as they discussed the Jewish stranglehold — or after looking over their shoulders to make sure no one is listening or recording them, but that’s the extent.
However, I’m interested that you say the progressive media shut down so-called White identity movements. Some call mainstream media the legacy media, others call them the corporate media. We cannot blame everything that has been detrimental to the White race on Jewry. I agree, but William Pierce certainly had it right when he claimed that their Tribe controlled America’s mass mind through control of the mass news and entertainment industry.
This exposé needs some serious updating, since there has been the usual “changing of the Jews.” But it’s difficult to argue against the facts of Jewish media control then, or now: https://nationalvanguard.org/books/2010-Who-Rules-America-01.pdf
I imagine Mr. T is one to choose his battles rather than try to appease everyone who may hold grudges. White identity first, way ahead of critiquing a segment of a segment of the population. When the JQ obsessed claim that Jews control everything, recall that that’s the same thing blacks say about whites. And what is our response? We earned it. Their counter response, no, it is a white cabal who controls everything keeping the black man down. As per Menken, for all of life’s complex problems there lies an explanation that is simple, straightforward, clear and totally wrong. Continued focus on the Jews just sets any white identity movement back decades. And in just a little over a year, the whole Israel-Palestinian war has brought about a thousand fold more protests on the topic.
More important is whether uniting white identity can occur if everyone wants to poke each other’s eye out in purity tests. Every racial identity has contended with their version of WVA, who rightly or wrongly get trashed. The rich want to get richer and the poor want to get richer by socialism. Nothing new under the sun.
WV has the same problem many urban areas have; food deserts and long commutes. And since no one knows how to cook anymore fast food becomes meal replacement.
Nice to know Mr. Taylor shares contempt for white, working-class Americans with our new Indian overlords. Ain’t the caste system great?
My honest thoughts on this:
1. Pesta’s state IQ estimates do not control for race:
https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-29366-004
This meas the data for certain states (such as California) will not reflect the IQ of the local White population because the results are being dragged down by Hispanics & other non-Whites. West Virginia, being very homogenous, should not have this issue. We can also compare overwhelmingly White West Virginia and North Dakota and see a noticeable difference, which implies Whites from the upper midwest have somewhat higher average IQs than Whites from WV.
2. I have a close friend who is a very high quality WN, in his 20s and married to a thoughtful & intelligent woman. They moved to Appalachia a couple years ago because they wanted to get out of the overwhelmingly Left leaning, heavily non-White suburb that they had moved to for college.
He grew up working on dairy farms in the Midwest and is the furthest thing from a snob, but has told me he’s frustrated with the local ‘hillbillies’ and didn’t believe the stereotypes until he moved there. I’ve visited him and I could understand what he was referring to. However, he still likes his new home more than his previous one.
My gf (she’s commented here occasionally and was a race realist before I met her, so not someone to uncritically accept narratives) has relatives who moved to eastern TN from upstate NY and she’s expressed similar views. It’s better than being a minority in a blue state suburb, but it has its own issues.
3. I don’t think anyone is saying that all Appalachians are low quality or disrespecting people who choose to make WV their home.
It’s distasteful to punch down on your own kind, especially when being goaded into it by a hostile ethnic alien. I look forward to seeing the positive transformation of the White working classes everywhere when a healthy White leadership and culture are established. I’ve been fat and had alcohol problems in the past and was probably the sort of person who many in the White Nationalist community would have wanted to sterilise. I fixed myself, though, with a lot of help from my new White-positive ideology. Once I decided that I was someone who deserved to thrive, I began to do just that. We should remember that being well-adjusted in a sick environment is not a sign of health.
Congratulations on your transformation. I find my racial identity to be a great source of positive inspiration likewise. Goodness only knows what I’d be up to if I were rootless.
Thanks Beau 🙂
Taylor’s achievement is taking something really mundane “prejudices are real” and repackaging it as something really offputting. Snobbish huwhite HBD.
One thing I will note from that IQ map is that while there may be differences among certain groups of whites, just look at the southern states, both east and west. It shows you what kryptonite even small percentages of blacks and Hispanics are to IQ average of the group. One has to look at the spread, not the absolute numbers because it’s a ratio scale for IQ. Keep in mind.
One phenomenon I’ve noticed about southern states like wv, Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama is that really intelligent white people can come out of low class and poor backgrounds.
In fact, I sort of disbelieve that average IQ score for West Virginia, as being so different from other white states. You have to have to look into these IQ measurements very carefully as to their methodology. It could be politically motivated. In fact, I looked at the ACT averages by state, you can find this online, and West Virginia tends to beat states that have comparable test rates and it’s not much less than those that are higher than it. That iq data is probably fallacious.
There is a book called, “Whitey On The Moon.” In it, the author talks about three extremely poor West Virginia boys who had a passion for rockets. The best of them lost his father when he was a boy, became the head of household, worked the mines to win the bread and pursued rocket experiments off hours. These three ended up working and playing essential roles in the rocket science that led to the moon landing. Hollywood of course ended up desecrating their achievement by making a movie where some invented black guy had the key insights from his time as a Tuskegee airman.
But I digress.
I think we should resurrect this story and hold it to the light. There is a lot in that that would be good for our cause. A huge thing is leadership. In an age where Whites have healthy institutions promoting spiritual health even poor West Virginians can perform like this. When you have a credentializing system that discourages this kind of free-spirited inquiry and inventiveness and where strivers and the ambitious leave the communities behind, well you no longer have your standard bearers. The best left and then to maintain status in the urban sickness centers they renounce their kind and where they came from. Of course, amongst them are the Paul Krugmans who they do not know harbors a deep desire to ensure that, “in the end what power they have is going to go away”, and that, “they are not the future.”
Another message we need to emphasize is that we have a myopic view of technology and of European man’s technological prowess. Our greatest technology is our social technology. Our spirited, soul embracing and yet systematic exploration of optimum social structures and our ethic to build them is the foundation to our technological achievement as well as our civilization’s social achievements. This discussion is begging for us to re-introduce this into the debate.
When we cultivated our foundational technology, Occidental spiritual, ethical and philosophical inquiry and application, we were healthy. When we asserted those norms other populations’ best aspired to learn Greek and Latin and do ballroom dancing and imitated our high culture. When we forfeited our most important technology they loot and burn and speak ever lower forms of pidgins and twerk … …
In the end I don’t care about them so long as they don’t harm my people. What we must do is point out the tragedy of this system that drains our communities of its standard bearers and then turns back around and spits upon and loots their home towns in service to nefarious actors. This same process is the same process now long underway with imperial sponsored replacement migration. Just as our once thriving communities that produced extremely resilient young men who worked coal mines as pre-teens to support their families and developed rockets at night that took men to the moon and satellites to space and lost their best, so too are the already struggling third world undergoing the same process.
This is a golden opportunity to seize the high ground and point out that this is all the symptom of an extremely sick and dysfunctional system created by a sick and dysfunctional pseudo-elite of low-borns who can never be a real elite. Our people suffer from many sicknesses. The worst of it are the strivers spitting on their ancestors and the towns they abandoned for credentials, affluence and status. Still, we do have our people who are in ill physical, mental and spiritual health. The ultimate sickness is individualism. A system where well dressed, well spoken well resourced people welcome the outsider and displace their own kind with them to signal that they have the ultimate moral authority is a system whose morality has been replaced with pure evil.
We have a real opportunity here to raise the level of the debate and talk about real leadership, the duties of real elites and the capabilities of a great people when they abandon their biospirit’s best technology in pursuit of soul less technological and financial achievement.
May we all return to our West Virginia’s and take up our duties in support of our folk. May we do it and do it quickly so these places remain ours. I fear Hanania and his backers have plans for West Virginia as the Wall St. Journal has been advocating for, and he got the fuel he needed to justify it going from 92.5% do 0 as fast as they can do it.
That book might be The Rocket Boys (a.k.a. October Sky) by Homer Hickham. It goes well with The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe. (Chuck Yeager was from West Virginia, by the way.)
Paul Krugman probably thinks WVA is Larry, Darryl and Darryl Land.
Correction: Highest IQ is in Massachusetts, per your map.
That said, wonderful piece Mr. Kessler.
Corrected. Thanks for catching that. The print was a little too small for me to see.
Surely if EHC exceptions among WVians such as John Nash don’t increase the group value of WVians, then neither does Richard Hanania improve the group value of Christian Levantines. Perhaps it’s time the superior white WVians replace the inferior Christian Levantines.
Thank you for this much-needed essay, Jason. You wrote, bottom line, that [Jared] isn’t nearly as frank talking about Jews as he is white [sic] West Virginians. As expected, C-Cers are divided on the issue.
Jared is an expressive, outspoken Yalie, but that does not impress me. Has he ever repudiated his glib statement to national TV host Phil Donahue that Jews “look White to me”? I used to distribute his book on race, Paved With Good Intentions, because it was good on the race issue, so why is it he cannot “be as frank, talking about Jews” He’s not stupid. I call it deliberate misdirection and moral cowardice.
Jason, you left out William Pierce as one of the brightest, so-called “White identarians” who have lived in West Virginia. I’m somewhat familiar with the Brimelows and the Baloghs, but have never heard of Emily Youcis. Pierce explained to his biographer, Dr. Griffin, why, 30 years ago, he finally escaped the Judaized, mutiracial Hell-hole of northern Virginia that Mr. Taylor holds in such high regard: The Fame of a Dead Man’s Deeds Audio Book: To West Virginia | National Vanguard.
Southern Appalachia, the large, mostly White region, excepting some cities, extends into parts of eight southern states, and beyond into northern Appalachia, and will not be looked down on by a bumptious, cavalier identitarian who thinks Jews look White to him. I never would describe Ben Klassen as a White identitarian, nor would he, but he wisely headquartered his pro-White movement to the pristine mountains of Western North Carolina.
It’s good to see that Richard Chance speaks favorably of East Tennessians.
Pierce’s National Alliance is now headquartered in Johnson County, Tennessee, among salt-of-the-earth White folks, mostly Scots-Irish. Read about the State of Franklin, here: (183) The Secessionist State of Franklin — Can it Happen Again? – White Biocentrism, and about the down home birthplace of country music in Johnson County, here: (183) Johnson County, Tennessee – Page 2 – White Biocentrism
Experienced ethnic Russian nationalist Wolf Stoner recently praised Jared Taylor as the perfect voice to reach mainstream Whites — not those of us who are fully aware of the JQ, but newbies — entry level Whites who have a recent interest in the racial problems we face.
However he adds this, more recently in his 7 January essay, “The Great Shift”, here: (183) Words of Wolf Stoner – Page 18 – White Biocentrism
…Jews are neither fools nor invincible supermen. Both extremes of perception are counterproductive. Jews are the species with a particular set of characteristics. Their main strength is in our weaknesses; otherwise, they have hardly anything to put against the obvious advantages of White people.
Now, Jews started to repeat the same trick. They always act in the most impudent and audacious way, making any seemingly impossible move in a way as if it is something usual and normal; like they advanced the sexual revolution and LGBT agenda.
People had been perplexed with Jewish impudence to such an extent that they were unable to muster any coherent response; and, before anyone could regain his senses, the grand social change was already achieved. It is the Jewish way; we need to know it in advance. They always take the bull by its horns, without hesitations and squeamishness.
Jewish foray into the American Renaissance happens in this very fashion. They brazenly come and take the main stage; nothing less. They simply start to lecture White people on racial problems, as if it weren’t Jews who created this whole problem in the first place. But it is normal; it is the Jewish way.
The case in question is Amy Wax and her splendid speech on American Renaissance 2024.
I have nothing personally against this smart educated woman. She presented a common sense view of the racial problem but, somehow, failed to notice the origins of the overall American trend. As if the whole situation, somehow, happened by itself, as some kind of natural evolution.
At the American Renaissance conference 2023 yet another Jewish woman gave a speech; Laura Loomer. Much younger and substantially less intelligent than Amy Wax. By the way, the process of mental decadence among Jews is not less pronounced than among the general population. Seems that they fall victim to the same downward trend that they were instrumental to put in motion. The younger Jews are much less bright and intelligent than their predecessors…
I’m unfamiliar with Wax and Loomer since I do not monitor AmRen like Wolf does. Be warned, Wolf’s words are intended only for serious White racial nationalists, not for mainstreamers new to the JQ. He continues:
[Jews] are never tormented with pangs of consciousness. They are always the best and always the first. They must always be at the top in anything. If a Jew enters a room he must take a chairman’s seat; or at least at the right hand of the chairman with a prospect of pushing him aside. It is the Jewish way everywhere and at any time.
Jews started infiltration of the White movements not from below but from the very top. It grants them obvious advantages but at the same time produces the opposite effect from what they want. Jews tend to overplay their hand. They are too presumptuous and too contemptuous to non-Jews. They imagine us as if we were the same peasants and workers of 1917.
Jewish attempts to push their way into White organizations and into the overall racial public discourse are sure to increase. The more this issue becomes relevant the more energetic will be those inroads.
In order to identify those attempts and to effectively oppose them, we need to remember the simple time-tested truth:
Don’t believe a Jew; whoever he is and whatever he speaks. Jew never speaks his mind; there is always some concealed intent. The very Jewish mentality is based on hatred of European identity. There can’t be any “common interests” between us and them. Any Jewish connection is a death sentence for a racial organization.
Jews always lie. Even if he speaks the truth about something, he does it with an intent of deceiving on some other, more relevant for him, issue. The ultimate goal of a Jew is our destruction; therefore, any cooperation with him is suicide. No Jews must ever be allowed into true White organizations.
The more racial awakening spreads in society and the more numerous becomes the White racial movement the more frequent will be cases when people with partial Jewish ancestry would like to join. If such people want to adhere to their White identity, they must start with full rejection of their Jewishness in order to be acceptable as simple members of White community. It would be utterly impudent on their part to claim any leadership role….
Where can one read Wolf Stoner’s work? Just tried looking him up and could not find anything.
Kenny Voi: January 9, 2025 Where can one read Wolf Stoner’s work? Just tried looking him up and could not find anything.
—
Well, you know how algorithms on search engines that are controlled by the opposition work against effective pro-White spokemen. I don’t know if you can do a search on his name at C-C but he has commented from time to time, like here on 22 November where comments have not yet been closed: (((Hollywood Types))) Upset They’re Not Included in Academy Awards Diversity Quota
Discovered this pearl from him there that I wished I had said:
The majority of mainstream people live like hens in a barn; they are fed and housed for free but an owner can come any time and cut off head of any hen; simply because he needs it to make soup. The mainstream hens prefer not to think about this; they enjoy the quietude and predictability of measured lifestyle under the governmental protection, but the axe-time always comes for any hen.
A comic book like Rockwell’s classic The Fable of the Ducks and Hens could be based around Wolf’s description of mainstream people. The Fable of the Ducks and the Hens by George Lincoln Rockwell.
I discovered Wolf in 2020 when he began commenting under articles at NationalVanguard.org. I soon opened his own section at our little forum, here, to preserve many of his writings: (183) Words of Wolf Stoner – White Biocentrism. You can search there for what he has had to say about subjects vital to our race. His selected essays and comments will make an important book.
Thanks for the reply. When you quoted him I assumed you did so via his substack or other non kosher publication. Sounds like he needs to write articles here on CC.
Kenny Voi: January 10, 2025 Thanks for the reply. When you quoted [Jared] I assumed you did so via his substack or other non kosher publication. Sounds like he needs to write articles here on CC…
—
You’re welcome, Kenny, but you assumed wrongly.
Substack? What’s that? I don’t do social media, even ones that claim to be non-kosher. Arminius pointed out yesterday:
Sometime in the past year or year and a half, on a truly conservative Jewish blog that interviewed Amy Wax, she said, and this is a direct quote, “Jews have a lot to answer for in the decline of America and The West.”
Ha! What is a truly conservative Jewish blog out to conserve? It’s not preservation of the Aryan people — excuse me, the goyim. It’s neither America nor the West, Amy. They are history, thanks in large part to your anti-White tribe.
You figured all that out about Jews by yourself, Amy? You didn’t get that from Jared.
And I didn’t get his quote from any non-kosher blog. I recall his words from 22 years ago, contemporaneous with when he uttered them with such smoothness on national TV, and have never forgottten them. Those words are still available in an Internet search:
Transcript of his appearance on the Phil Donahue show from Jan. 22, 2003:
DONAHUE: How are you with the Jews? Are you OK, the Jews?
TAYLOR: The Jews? The Jews are fine by me.
DONAHUE: And so Jews can live in your neighborhood and to go your cocktail party with all those good looking people?
TAYLOR: They look white to me.
whitebiocentrism.com
Sometime in the past year or year and a half, on a truly conservative Jewish blog that interviewed Amy Wax, she said, and this is a direct quote, “Jews have a lot to answer for in the decline of America and The West.” She talked in great detail about how Jews used blacks in the mid 20th century to steal the moral high ground from Whites and said in clear terms that they need to put a stop to it.
It is possible, that if it is true that Mr. Taylor puts strictures on discussing Jews and their role in our destruction, it backfired in putting a fair and open discussion on the table about what has happened and why with Ms. Wax doing so unprompted. Wax is perfectly willing to be forthright in discussing and critiquing Jewish perfidy, as are a small number of others.
It will take all types and all tactics. Mr. Taylor has been of immense service in building an ark and a pipeline. People need red micro pills not hero’s doses or they will flee. Job #1 is to build ourselves up and along the way help our kind accept and act like the undergirding structure of the civilization, its moral firmament, is being anti-White. I dislike when our side says it is egalitarianism. It isn’t. It is anti-Whiteism. Once on the ark, a subtle discussion of all of the most rabid anti-White people and those on the vanguard and the question, “They all look white. What is it about them that makes them advocate for our genocide and total destruction?” Then follow with some quotes that answer it for them.
Unfortunately, Karp and Palantir are going to grow very powerful and the big victory in the Levant is not the territorial expansion, though that is big, but the ability to resume the project of turning it into the global hub of the new empire’s digital global panopticon.
We need to focus on ourselves.
P.S. in regards to that panopticon, they are not importing Indians to build it. When we meme that China isn’t importing Indians to build their AI we should first list Israel. They are importing a decent amount of Indians in agreements with Modi, but in a Dubai model where they import them as coolies for low skilled labor.
This is an article that needed to be written. Jared Taylor’s contempt for the majority of White people is a serious liability. He regularly insults women and fat people. Well, that’s a supermajority of the White population right there, and not just in West Virginia.
The fat shaming particularly annoys me, because the DR peanut gallery takes a very unprincipled approach to the environment/genetics controversy here. When it comes to BMI, all of a sudden human biodiversity goes right out the window.
Well, I’m sorry people, but twin studies don’t lie, and they estimate the heritability of obesity at 40-70%. I suspect it is on the higher end, because studies have shown that obesity is all but irreversible, yet the medical establishment wants to minimize the genetic contribution to obesity. In practice, almost noone loses weight and keeps it off over the long term without medical intervention. Like all scientific revolutions, this one will happen one funeral at a time.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41576-021-00414-z
https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-023-00816-9
Numerous times I have heard the following arguments in favor of BMI Blank Slatism:
1. Genetic disorders that cause obesity are very rare.
The problem: this is only true for monogenetic obesity, not polygenetic obesity. Hundreds of obesity-related genes have been discovered, any one of them making only a small contribution that can add up to formidable odds.
https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/why-people-become-overweight
2. It’s obviously not genetic, because people didn’t used to be fat.
The problem: this fails to take into account how genes and environment interact within an organism. A simple example: if you live in an agrarian society and are genetically predisposed to get fat, but you run out of food every year around March and go hungry for a couple of months, you’re not going to get fat. That only lasts until you’re no longer an agrarian society.
My surmise is that air conditioning is one of the primary causes of weight gain. I am (just barely) old enough to remember when poor people didn’t have AC. If you lived in a hot, humid environment, you basically lost your appetite for a quarter if not a third of the year. On the other hand, if you didn’t live in a hot humid environment, it was easier to get out outside and exercise.
https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2022-07-20/is-air-conditioning-causing-obesity/68796
I also suspect cigarettes played a part, and not because of an “oral fetish.” Nicotine is a stimulant that suppresses appetite and accelerates metabolism just like any other stimulant, whether you’re talking about caffeine, amphetamines, cocaine, or whatever. When I was in college, hardly anyone was fat, because those of us who weren’t involved in athletics pretty much lived on coffee and cigarettes.
The medical establishment ignores this issue. They claim that smoking cessation only leads to 5-10 pounds of weight gain. Well, sure. You may only gain five pounds in the first year after quitting, but then you gain five more the next year, and then the next year, and the next… Diet pills work, and doctors know they work, but you can only take them for a limited amount of time, because people seem to like having lots of fat people around to look down on, especially doctors. It wasn’t always so.
https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000811.htm
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18445805/
Likewise in the DR. I have a question for anyone who thinks fat people are just lazy gluttons. Why do drugs like Ozempic help people lose weight? Does it make chocolate somehow taste less good than it normally would? Does it magically give you more willpower? No, willpower doesn’t come in a shot or a bottle. Appetite control does, though. Sensations of hunger and satiety depend on hormonal signals, and there is no reason at all to believe that every single person responds to these hormonal signals in the same way. None, whatsoever.
This is yet another one of those situations where parents of numerous children have an epistemic advantage over others. Some of your kids are just hungrier than others, and they struggle with their weight. I don’t recommend shaming, because they’re already ashamed. A much better approach is to avoid the competitive sports rat race and get them involved in life-long activities that they enjoy. (Of course, if Vivek gets his way, we’ll abolish childhood altogether and our children will work 80 hours a week. At which point, I’m sure the fat-shamers will be there to tell them to have Raisin Bran with skim milk for breakfast and a salad with no dressing for lunch and dinner, even though the hour or so they spend eating is literally their only pleasure in life.)
Of course, if you shame people enough, I guess at a certain point some percentage of them will be willing to go hungry to be thin. One has to be careful not to take this too far, though. Otherwise, you might wind up with a .7 TFR like South Korea, or low birth weight problems like Japan. Japan.

Bottom line: If we’re going to insult our own people, can we at least do our homework, first?
Taylor is 73 years old and has been pro-White for decades. It seems a bit harsh to throw him under the bus for a couple off hand remarks. I also haven’t seen him show contempt. His rhetoric may come across as snobby but he has clearly indicated a desire to help all White Americans.
As for his comments on women, I have only seen one video (available here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/n0rpbMEJrvwh/) in which he discusses that topic. He uses statistics to focus on the significant political differences between college age men and women. While somewhat harsh, everything he says is well sourced and I have a hard time imagining that he has been going off the rails on Andrew Anglin tier woman bashing rants.
For a second, my brain went off on a tangent and thought ‘huh, Lexi is HipsterRacist.’ It’s likely just a coincidence but you recently used the ‘Lucy and the football’ metaphor that HR often did and the ‘I’m sorry people’ line was another mainstay of that blogger’s writing style. He also tended to point out Israel’s TFR as ideal, as you have in the past. Apologies for getting off topic.
Anyways… there are obviously genetic factors in obesity but what that means is up for debate and the severity of weight gain must be kept in mind. No one is attacking people who are a little ‘husky’ or ‘fluffy’ – the focus is on the fact that America now has a large number of Whites who are severely obese.
Compare the obesity rates in the USA vs Europe:

Or compare Canada to America:

The truth is that anyone who has spent time in the rural US and rural Western Europe will know that America has serious issues in this regard.
I don’t want to make heavy people feel bad, and I wouldn’t have used the words Taylor did, but we can’t lie to ourselves about the actual state of affairs.
Is anyone saying that pregnant women should starve themselves?
I also think that countering obesity will have the opposite effect on birth rates. White America’s TFR is 1.36 whereas Montenegro’s is 1.8 (one of the better ones in Europe) and Montenegro’s obesity rate is dramatically lower than the USA’s. This pattern fits with history. White Germans nearly doubled their birth rate under the NSDAP while simultaneously focusing on national health. Anorexia is bad for pregnancy but so is obesity. We want to minimize the rates of both.
Again, the goal isn’t to make heavy people feel bad, it’s to be honest with ourselves about what’s going on.
It’s important to think of genetic evolution as not for ‘obesity’ but for ‘calorie storage’. Our ancestors evolved in actual ‘food deserts’ without supermarkets or highly productive agriculture. The advent of easily available and processed foods the past few centuries has shot up obesity. Unfortunately for many, keeping a stable weight means suffering with hunger, probably some more than others. Regulating unhealthy food choices has been driven more by progressives (sugary sodas, food pyramid in schools, tobacco), but is one of their good ideas.
It’s possible that WVA doesn’t have enough of a white identity and it’s culture has been polluted by the usual worst elements of bad taste. The Morgantown radio station looks like any other shlocky FM radio playlist of the US, and they’ve long forgotten Roscoe Holcomb, Hazel Dickens, the Stanley Brothers, Bascom Lunsford…

I like West Virginia too and was strongly thinking of settling there. But in principle there’s nothing wrong with what Jared said. White people are not all equal, and it is virtually inevitable that some areas will have better quality white people than others. But Jared does emphasize that he’s a white person first, not some sort of class or IQ elitist, which should have blunted Hanania’s obvious delight.
America is declining rapidly. Obesity and tattoos are two of the easiest signs of decline to spot.
Scott Greer addresses this issue today in his Substack:
“Taylor has earned the right to speak his mind. He has spent the last 35 years of his life engaged in promoting forbidden truths to the people. For his efforts, he’s lost bank accounts, been banned from Europe, prohibited from using many tech platforms, and had his good name ruined in several publications. This is all because he’s a race realist. People with no skin in the game are in no position to try to “cancel” Mr. Taylor for an off-hand remark. His record deserves respect, not a social media pile-on.”
Good response from Greer.
I don’t like some of the essentially egalitarian criticisms of Taylor found in the comments above (and in Kessler’s post). They have the stench of “victimological” liberalism about them, “everybody’s equal”, “everyone’s a winner”, no one should be challenged or criticized, etc. Such sentiments did not create the greatness of the West. Indeed, they are about a single step away from making the old liberal, personal-agency-denying exculpatory noises about blacks (“their behavior is not their fault, it’s due to their environment, their social deprivations, it’s a natural response to the sickness of society” waah waah …). This is not remotely the traditional – white or Christian – view of personal responsibility. As Chesterton said, “By age 30, a man is responsible for his own face.”
Because one is poor, therefore it’s OK to become a drug addict, or it’s the fault of the Jews that some idiot misuses opioids? It’s OK to get disfiguring “tats” (which cost money to obtain, right? unless your jailhouse buddy inks one out for free, I guess) – which, incidentally, are both unchristian and unwestern, originating I believe among South Seas heathens? To scarf soda or beer (which is a lot more expensive, as well as fattening, than lettuce or carrots or chicken or sardines)?
I’m old enough to recall when white nationalists often referred to themselves as “aristocratic racial nationalists”. For some men, that might have implied a Nietzschean disdain for genetic inferiors (which was a common attitude in the classical world). But for many other prowhites, it meant that we weren’t only interested in preserving our race, but also in bettering it (both environmentally and eugenically). We wanted whites in general, and especially prowhites, to be the most admirable they could be – to be strong in mind, body and especially character, and this both as a good in itself, and as necessary to the success of our movement, whose goals are, first, the basic biological perpetuity of the white race, but second and more substantially, the recovery of white global dominance and influence, which in turn is necessary to protect a planetary biosphere increasingly threatened by the combination of {Western-created} nonwhite fecundity and {stupidly Western-aided, if not outright provided} Third World industrialization.
Degenerate whites (drunks, junkies, gamblers, whoremongers, even seemingly harmless gluttons) are like AWOL soldiers, failing to do their intergenerational duty to honor the ancestors and protect the descendants. They are failures as citizens of Magna Europa, the noblest and best of civilizations. It is our privilege to be part of this civilization, and our inescapable duty to preserve it. Degenerates are letting down Team White, and they should be censured for it and encouraged to be better.
Jared’s observations and comments are pertinent and proper.
I don’t like some of the essentially egalitarian criticisms of Taylor found in the comments above (and in Kessler’s post). They have the stench of “victimological” liberalism about them,
Scientific facts don’t care whether you like them or not, LS. Besides, I find it curious that you characterize my frank recognition of biological inequality as “egalitarian.”
As for bad odors, I suppose that’s in the nose of the beholder. Snobbery makes me reach for the air freshener every time.
You really didn’t grasp my comment. But hey, that will become more commonplace as ever more whites awaken. It used to be, in my younger day, that only the very wise and the very dumb were prowhite: the former, because they could see the obvious falsehood of ubiquitous liberal propaganda; the latter, because that propaganda simply went over their heads, and they continued to prefer believing their own “lying eyes” over what their betters told them. Now, however, we come to a time when the IQ bell curve of prowhites is falling in tandem with our base broadening. And thus, a new era of middlebrow misunderstanding is aborning!
“People with no skin in the game are in no position to try to “cancel” Mr. Taylor for an off-hand remark.”
To be fair, not all the criticism directed at Mr. Taylor has been from random internet complainers with no skin in the game. The author of this very article has been both vilified in the media and sued for his beliefs.
I break from the DR consensus somewhat on tattoos.
I think some of them are ugly and there are some really bad places a woman can place them like on her chest or a tramp stamp.
But some tattoos can be real art, enhance the person’s aesthetic and sex appeal.
Sleeve tattoos on a cute, well-built woman can be sexy.
And to say tattoos on guys like Paul Waggener of the Wolves of Vinland are a “sign of decline” doesn’t quite hit the mark. Most of us could not get into the fighting shape that man lives in and teaches to others.
If you asked him about his tattoos he would probably mention the vikings and how skin art was used by his warrior ancestors.
In short, there are myriad ways to seek human excellence. For academics like you or Jared, it would certain look silly. But for counter-cultural types like an artist, a fighter, or anyone with a keen eye it can be an avenue for creative expression.
Is it really still counter-cultural, though? Maybe 50 or 60 years ago, when it was mostly bikers, truckers, military vets, and bohemians who had them. Now that every soccer mom has one, all they really represent to me is kind of a herd conformity.
As with anything grounded in Tradition, tattoos ought to be the exception, not the rule. I agree with Greg, a person who is tattooing himself is generally a demoralized person. It often ruins a White person with beautiful skin, making them looked dirty and blotched no matter the quality of the tattoo. As a rule, nearly all of the people I know who have tattoos are either mindless trend followers and/or people who do not have a sense of dignity and confidence to mark and distinguish themselves by exemplary action. They are using tattoos as a poor and often ruinously disfiguring substitute.
Tattoos do have a place. Wagner is a great example and he lies outside of this critique and within the traditional purview. Traditionally, they are used by outsiders and by secret societies and criminal organizations to mark their members. It is a sacrifice to say, ‘I am a member and I am willing to disfigure and mark myself permanently. There is no going back.’ My personal choice is to prefer organizations that want individuals distinguished by action and ability. Wagner and his group are clearly not relying on tattoos and do require real physical and mental commitment at a very high level. So, again, they fall outside the general rule.
It is a terrible shame that when NBA blacks in the 90s began to tattoo their bodies to horrible disfigurement, that Whites once again circled farther down the drain and followed them to yet another low for our culture and our civilization. Tattoos have a place but not in the mass or the main stream – particularly for the descendants of the most aristocratic and transcendent people and civilization in the history of man. Very few should get them and only for the right reasons.
There’s nothing sexy or feminine about a woman with tattoos, certainly not an entire sleeve. What a tattoo on a woman represents is a destruction of her natural beauty, which is something akin to a rebellion against what she is to her society. You have degenerated proclivities. It really irks me when people try to smuggle this leftist garbage in and put a palatable spin on it.
I’m really sat here puzzling over your comment. “Sleeve tattoos on a woman can be sexy” is such a perverse sentence to encounter, especially here. What exactly does a sleeve tattoo on a woman do for you psychologically? Does it remind you of some particular porno film you liked or something? What an odd statement. Reminds me of the ideals you encounter on 4chan, or the “coomer right” as I call it.
Look, 49283, we’re not here to enforce your beauty standards, pathologize anyone else’s, crush White individuality, develop a totalitarian philosophy of life, the universe, and everything, etc.
We’re here to save the White race, or aren’t we?
I have “porn brain” because I think a fit woman is still attractive if she has tattoos?
What I have found is there a class of neurotically insecure females who rant off-topic about porn because they don’t feel good about themselves. That doesn’t give you the right to talk like this to strangers.
I am guessing that you could probably lose a few and then maybe you might get the attention you seem to be starving for.
We need done religious visionary – a Joseph Smith to build autonomous Orania style folk communities in West Virginia .
we have to get away with libertarian style individualism .
our people need communities , rules , group healthy eating and exercise , walking etc
What is the QRD on this Hanania guy? From what I recall, he has written race realist articles and is a critic of wokeness but I think he is one of those rare kind of race realists who isn’t a white nationalist. Is that the gist of it?
I can understand the affection Kessler and other native West Virginians have for West Virginia. I think that some of the issues facing white West Virginians have more to do with environment than genetics what with the history of exploiting labor and peddling narcotics to working class people. Perhaps Taylor could have worded things a little more nicely but as Scott Greer said, Taylor has been doing this for a long time now. Taylor was an instrumental part in my journey through the proverbial libertarian to alt-right pipeline. I don’t know all the details on Hanania, and please correct me if I am wrong, but I am getting strong grifter vibes from this guy.
Hanania used to write for Counter-Currents!
His articles
This alone implies either a grift, opticsfagging, or a serious shift in worldview.
I’m going to post intelligently, with first hand knowledge, about Appalachia, as a person born in Southern Appalachia. I do not live there currently, but when I retire, I will be moving back.
Until the middle of the 20th century, there were still communities in Appalachia that did not have access to running water or electricity. The TVA and New Deal fixed that for some people, but it was a slow process.
Appalachian mountain folk are clannish, and this is a product of their ancestral European Scotch-Irish Protestant culture. Up until the mid-20th century, these families still had an ethnic identity that contrasted with the WASP elite that were the founding colonialists.
Their isolation, and lack of access to utilities and resources, slowed the industrialization of the area. Their distrust of Anglos, as an artifact of history, kept them insular.
I have older family members who very much fit the “hillbilly” caricature. They are dying off, but the culture they’ve passed down to my generation, and that my generation has passed to our children, doesn’t change quickly. And nor would we want it to. As a matter of fact, part of my reason for becoming a white identitarian is that I bemoan the erosion of Appalachian culture.
Though these people may seem unintelligent, they are not. Their priorities are simply different. Appalachian Protestant culture has never been showy. Ostentation is generally frowned upon. This can lead to people who seemingly don’t care about their appearance. Sometimes, anything to extremes is bad. I would say that this is an unfortunate biproduct of an otherwise admirable moral conviction.
I am different from much of my own family. I had an eagerness to read as a child, and reflect on things. My cousins were more interested in going to the “crick” to be layabouts, catching tadpoles, skipping rocks, and doing other unproductive, lackadaisical things. To this day, some people can’t envision being anything other than a cashier at Walmart or a convenience store. They don’t have educated mentors, they don’t have teachers purposefully moving into their communities to “do good”, the way that ideological liberals seek out black ghettos to teach in. They are truly a forgotten, left behind people, and part of that is their own fault for their insular culture. But it is what it is.
Taken as a whole, I would infinitely rather live among people who, while maybe they don’t have good dental hygiene, they’d gladly give you the shirt off their own back if they thought you were in need.
These people are receptive to white nationalism. They understand the threat of globalization, the changes it forces upon people who do not wish for the changes. I don’t think it is wise to purposefully alienate them. I don’t honestly think Jared Taylor wishes to alienate them. But we need to be careful in our thinking to truly understand the forces at play.
Your mentioning that they can’t think of doing things beyond a counter clerk job reminded me of the documentary Country Boys from 2005. It featured two Appalachian young men. One was an average guy, and the other was so obviously fiercely intelligent, yet because of his very poor background he was stricken with anxiety and would retreat to working as a fast food counterman instead of advancing, as some but not all of the people in his life wanted him to do. A great documentary, anyone can see himself in that position.

I’m pretty shocked that Jared Taylor would spout out such blatant stereotypes. If that’s not what we’ve had to fight against forever I don’t know what is. Taking a gander at the IQ numbers. California has some explaining to do. I was born in Chicago, raised in southern California and now live in Kansas City, Missouri. Even with the well populated black areas we have a strong result. All that diversity in CA hasn’t added to their strength. CA was almost a model state before the Civil Rights garbage took over. I’m thankful to be wallowing in white families in my neighborhood with a smattering of minorities. Poor Jared tried to pull out of it with a NAXALT move but he’s called on it. Giving us lots of coal and some sweet music puts WV far above CA as far as I’m concerned.
My case against the lord of the manor:
Taylor is 73 years-old.
This alone should be sufficient, but since misplaced nostaligia is rampant in these circles, I’ll expand.
Taylor was not born on American soil, attended Yale, presents with a smugly synthetic posh accent that normal white people find offputting, has had no visible means of support for decades, and has not changed his mind about a single thing in his entire public life (despite claiming to in a recent article). Who picked this guy to be “Mr White Advocacy”? If this is the best we can do, we’re already done.
But assume he’s legit: what has he actually achieved in the last ten years? CC’s polling suggested a lot of people got here through him. So he’s the great White Whisperer. But what % of those were in the last ten years? I might stand corrected, but my sense is it will be fewer every year since 2015.
I have never understood the need to sacralize a handful of geriatrics who achieved nothing but talk. There are now millions of people talking that talk, and they did not get it from Jared Taylor. Let’s be real: Candace Owens and Jesse Lee Peters have a better sense of the friend/enemy distinction that white people should be making.
What is needed is an explicitly pro-white organizational structure, something the boomers never pulled off. This structure can be very loose, but people have to agree on three things (1) Who we are, (2) What we want, (3) How do we get it.
These can be answered broadly, but not by purity-spirallers and well-poisoners. Which means the old lord of the manor, with his stiff-necked refusal to acknowledge who opened the gates of Toledo, needs to be put out to pasture with David Duke, who turns 75 next year but at least knows who the enemy is.
“But assume he’s legit: what has he actually achieved in the last ten years? CC’s polling suggested a lot of people got here through him. So he’s the great White Whisperer. But what % of those were in the last ten years? ”
Well, he was banned from social media and prevented from going to Europe for much of that time.
He’s really done a lot for us for a very long time, and doesn’t deserve all that. If you don’t like his style, that’s OK, because there are others with different approaches.
Who picked this guy to be “Mr White Advocacy”? If this is the best we can do, we’re already done.
Who are YOU? Jared is hardly the only voice of prowhite advocacy. But he has done more for the prowhite cause than nearly anyone alive. When he started out there was an enormous chasm to be filled: that of taking an empirically honest approach to racial issues (instead of the old, utterly moronic white power / neo-Nazi approach, which, however morally problematic it is on its own terms, is just a huge and continuing propaganda coup for our racial enemies). Even William Pierce, for all his intelligence, was pursuing white advocacy in a hard-edged way guaranteed to repulse 95% or more of average whites. Ditto for the brilliant Wilmot Robertson and his Instauration – great stuff, but too controversial for most whites after the preceding 40 years of postwar brainwashing. [Incidentally, both Pierce and Robertson, in the decade before they died, expressed admiration for Taylor and American Renaissance.]
And yet there was so much objective evidence, scientific and sociological, of the sheer falsehood of the racial narrative that I grew up hearing in the 60s, 70s, and 80s (a narrative actually much less objectionable and less easily refuted than the woke/DEI lies of today). The races were not equal; whites were not responsible for minority failures and behaviors; the perception that most violent crime was perpetrated by nonwhites (especially blacks) was true, and not some “prejudicial stereotype”, as the liberals alleged back then.
These concepts needed to be gotten abroad in a massively race-liberal-propagandized general white population – a white population most of whom, however, still did (and perhaps even today, still do) respect academic distinction and rhetorical polish. What was needed was a guy exactly like Jared, with the elite pedigree, the high intelligence, and the good diction and vocabulary to command a measure of natural respect among precisely those elites who disproportionately run the country (this country has never been run by hillbillies: even the now powerful author of Hillbilly Elegy was smart enough to attend and graduate from Yale Law). Revilo Oliver, James Burnham, Wilmot Robertson, Sam Francis, etc, all understood that every society of any large size and complexity will inevitably be run by elites (the less admirable W.F. Buckley understood this, too). Many in the elite are avowed enemies of whites, but by no means all. Jared is the type, and his approach is the one, to get listened to by non-leftist (but not yet race-realist or prowhite) white executives, lawyers, doctors, professors, etc.
And Jared is a true hero of our people because he didn’t have to go down this route. Being of the elite, he could have done very well for himself simply by keeping his mouth shut and rising up through the morally and racially corrupt System. But he didn’t; he put his race first. That shows he has an outstanding character as well as intellect.
Your comment reeks of the most despicable ingratitude. Why don’t YOU go out and do something to prove you are half as useful or brave as the “geriatric” Jared Taylor (who I bet could wipe the debate floor with your disrespectful and likely young and dumb ass).
Lord Shang,
You’re letting your own sense of indignation obscure the real issue: Whatever Mr. Taylor has done in the past, and however much we appreciate it, is his messaging good for Whites today? I don’t think it is. What to do about that is a question people are more than entitled to ask.
needs to be put out to pasture with David Duke
And just who do you think should put D.D. & J.T. out to pasture? Is there some kind of WN Age Police tasked with this kind of procedure? Just asking.
If these old boys want to retire and keep their traps shut for the rest of their lives, that’s one thing, but to talk about putting them out their pasture is quite another. Logan’s Run maybe?
I wouldn’t want either Duke or Taylor to go silent. (I bet you a gallon jar of kosher pickles that the ADL would, though!) Although I think Taylor was on the wrong track with the West Virginia thing, I’ll let him take a mulligan on that. He’s probably reconsidered by now.
He wasn’t merely repeating stereotypes, though. He reported an observation from personal experience, and it’s empirically testable. Either Charleston has a population that’s disproportionately fat, tattooed, and tobacco-addicted, or it doesn’t. I would guess that he got that impression because it was true.
If he’s at fault for anything here, it might be extrapolating from Charleston to the rest of West Virginia, but I’d be willing to bet that the phenomenon is not confined to one city. On the other hand, there are surely nice parts, somewhere…
From what I’ve seen of West Virginia, I was pleasantly surprised. It seems like a nice place to me. I haven’t been to Charleston, though, so I can’t speak to their situation.
It’s hard for us as moderns to understand life before indoor plumbing and electricity; but here are comments from the great Cecil sharp about these people before they were introduced to progress. Poverty was ubiquitous but he sees that as a boon. I never like the Sam Dixon insistence that good people must be well off. As an aside I think Aristotle thought poverty was important for citizens:
“That the illiterate may nevertheless reach a high level of culture will surprise those only who imagine that education and cultivation are convertible. The reason, I take it, why these mountain people, albeit unlettered, have acquired so many of the essentials of culture is partly to be attributed to the large amount of leisure they enjoy, without which, of course, no cultural development is possible, but chiefly to the fact that they have one and all entered at birth into the full enjoyment of their racial heritage. Their language, wisdom, manners, and the many graces of life that are theirs, are merely racial attributes which have been gradually acquired and accumulated in past centuries and handed down generation by generation, each generation adding its quotum to that which it received. It must be remembered, also, that in their everyday lives they are immune from that continuous grinding, mental pressure, due to the attempt to ‘ make a living’, from which nearly all of us in the modern world suffer. Here no one is on the make; commercial competition and social rivalries are unknown. In this respect, at any rate, they have the advantage over those who habitually spend the greater part of every day in preparing to live, in acquiring the technique of life, rather than in its enjoyment.
Cecil Sharp; English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians
Taylor is correct. I moved to the Ozark a few years ago, which has similar population profile as West Virginia, and sadly most people here are obese, diet is very poor, fast food joints everywhere, a metastasis of big box stores, hip hop the music of choice, no good movies at cinemas, meth use seemingly rampant. It’s a cultural disaster zone.
What we need is a benevolent elite. The white population at large needs to be guided upward. Take the H1B controversy. Rather than pay Indians subpar wages, why not introduce apprentice programs for young Americans to learn computer programming on the job? Start them at $20/hour.
As for our vaunted research universities, every year each university, with its billion dollar endowment, should hold a competition to determine the best “start up” concepts among its STEM graduates and then invest funds to realize those concepts within a 25-mile radius of the university, employing the local population (at least in the lesser positions, including apprenticeships). Universities need to be reconnected to the local & particular, i.e., to our own people.
We also need to reintroduce craft guilds. That is, we have known since the 19th century that automation results in ever-increasing numbers of redundant workers; AI will simply bring this to the next level. What shall we do with all people. Simply let them sit around all day, eating junk food, snorting meth, playing video games? No! We need to direct them back into handicrafts to make beautiful things again, from chairs to buildings. Figure out a way to make that work economically, with mass automation for the basic necessities, skilled artisanship for eternity. And in a parallel movement, we need to repopulate the farmlands. Take the redundant poor and give each of man 40 acres of grassland to raise cattle, lambs, goats, buffalo. Burn the corn fields, burn the soybean fields.
Last, we need to ban practically all restaurants, all sugary drinks, all processed foods, etc. We need a very strong dose of race-conscious paternalism.
I can’t deny that there are more fats here but my experience has been mostly positive.
I like being around handy blue collar people who can fix shit: problem solvers.
A lot of these intellectuals online would be totally helpless at any practical tasks and couldn’t solve any problems for you.
What do you mean by “blue collar workers”? I was in fact calling for a return to skilled labor in my comment. Maybe you misunderstood me?
To reiterate: Under conditions of highly automated mass production, which promises to be even more automated and roboticized if brought back on shore, there are lots of idle poor white folk and under-employed white folk (retail, fast food, gig jobs, paper-pushing low-level bureaucrats, etc). I say we need to direct many of these people back into handicrafts organized into guilds. How else will they spend their time? And how else will we have beautiful things? Just as liberal reform eradicated the guilds post-1789, so we must correct the evils of liberalism by bringing back certain medieval institutions, in particular the guilds. This is not a new idea. See Arthur Penty and John Ruskin. Now not everybody should be directed back into guilds. Select young white people with aptitude, beginning around age 14. Guilds not only serve to pass on craft knowledge (and innovation) from generation to generation, but also serve spiritual & fraternal ends, and ultimately beauty.
Still other young people should be directed back into farming. A mass return to the land. Let’s break-up the big corporate farming operations, and reallocate it to young families (most of which will be young white families, unless you see blacks or Asians signing up for this). No farm should be larger than what a single family of, let’s say, four generations can farm. They will pick the fruits and tend to the livestock with their own hands. This will promote organic practices and open pasture grazing. And further, by returning to the land, this segment of the population will necessarily become more “handy” again. Their health will flourish from working beneath the sun.
Last, this whole dastardly H1B debate. Again, why can’t we use apprenticeships here? Let’s take kids who are 14 or 16, some such age, and pay them a pittance to learn computer programming on the job at big tech companies. Big tech saves on labor cost, and we reverse the deskilling of our people in this area.
As a rule, what you call blue-collar people are more handy than white collar people. They are generally better at fixing things. But I am much less capable with my hands than my father, who worked in sales, and he much less capable than his father. This is not an aberrant experience. Today’s hick in the Ozark sticks is much less handy than his grandfather was. With each passing generation, our skill sets have become increasingly narrow, our general intelligence atrophied.
Ultimately my argument points toward the two-tiered society envisioned by G Faye. We will still need to produce an elite class at cutting edge of science & technology, and to foster Euro-Amerian culture and identity we will still need professors in the (reformed) humanities. But the great bulk of our populations needs to be directed into one of following: (1) craft guilds on the medieval model; (2) wage-competitive apprenticeships in areas not yet automated by machines (such as computer programming, micro-chip production); and (3) family farms.
In such a two-tier society the elite will have at its disposal weapons and technologies that could easily be turned against the (re-traditionalized) people. For this reason we need to have a benevolent & virtuous elite, which we currently do not have.
So yes, objectively speaking, the people of West Virginia, the Ozarks and across America are in abysmal shape, physically and spiritually. West Virginia is a meme for the condition of white America at large.
The question is how to restore our people to health. Taylor acknowledged the degeneracy.
Thank you for this summary of the problem and a proposed solution.
Underemployed Whites are impoverished and demoralised by every facet of “their” inposed culture. It used to be a part of the role of genteel women to minister to the local poor in a practical way. Now the White poor are held in comtempt and work, luxury and travel beckon for wealthy ladies. Some, men and women, like to visit Asia or elsewhere to work on compassionate projects. We need such missions closer to home, but with the more difficult goal of reinstilling a sense of pride in the organic culture of the regions and Western Civ. more broadly. Knowing that a number of “upper class” as it were people is prepared to spend time among you and to perform a series of concerts or plays without reward might be quite a tonic. Just an idea. Hopefully it’s already being done but perhaps could be done more.
Jared has always placed a big emphasis on “respectability” and all that entails. Having a certain set of standards and a decorum is an implicit part of whiteness for him, and while I get what he’s talking about, when taken too far it results in approval seeking from venomous people like Hanania.
Jared has always struck me as the type who would much prefer to rub shoulders with regime-approved high status beltway luminaries than his working class “racial brothers.”
But just like taking account of class doesn’t make the question of race disappear, taking account of race doesn’t make the question of class disappear. Jared clearly considers himself an “elite” white and has some contempt for lower class whites. I suppose such a thing can be granted to some degree, but to express it in the company of a vermin like Hanania came off as a family’s dirty laundry being aired out in public.
Lord Shang: January 11, 2025, dressing down Vegetius for criticizing Jared Taylor: Who picked this guy to be “Mr White Advocacy”? If this is the best we can do, we’re already done.
—
Who are YOU? Jared is hardly the only voice of prowhite advocacy. But he has done more for the prowhite cause than nearly anyone alive. When he started out there was an enormous chasm to be filled: that of taking an empirically honest approach to racial issues (instead of the old, utterly moronic white power / neo-Nazi approach, which, however morally problematic it is on its own terms, is just a huge and continuing propaganda coup for our racial enemies).
—
You’re wrong, Lord. I subscribed to Jared’s American Renaissance newsletter 35 years ago when he “started out,” because it was good on the race issue. I unsubscribed shortly thereafter, not just because he avoided the JQ, but because he invited Jews to write for him. I suppose that made me a “moronic neo-Nazi” in your eyes. Do I care? You can go to the rear of that line. I already considered myself then as a man of my race who had the moral courage to name our race’s primary enemy, not just complain about gorillas in our midst.
—
Even William Pierce, for all his intelligence, was pursuing white [sic] advocacy in a hard-edged way guaranteed to repulse 95% or more of average whites [sic]
—
That left the perceptive, racially responsible 5% of White truth seekers.
Yesterday I received my copy of The Occidental Quarterly, (Winter 2024-2025 issue) –the journal to which everyone reading these words should subscribe.
Dr. Robert Griffin, the sort of mainstream professional academic that we need to attract with our difficult truths, became William Pierce’s biographer, and mentions how meeting Pierce turned around his thinking about race issues with this his article in this issue of TOQ: Kinjies and Me – The Occidental Observer
I was able to cut and paste the following excerpt from Griffin’s essay since it is online:
…I was conducting interviews for a book about the white nationalist William Pierce. Up to that point I had held the accepted view of that war—you know, Hitler, evil incarnate, bent on conquering the world, was stopped from pulling it off by the forces of righteousness in The Good War. Pierce was just speaking his mind—he was making no effort to shake up my thinking about World War II—but nevertheless he did, or anyway he started a reconsideration of that bloodbath. All to say, Churchill is no longer my hero.
[Secondly]—and again it’s related to my Pierce connection—is pretty much all center stage purveyors of truth and morality to the masses: movie and television show creators, major publisher authors, journalists (including “the newspaper of record” The New York Times), politicians, heavy traffic websites, textbook writers, and classroom lecturers. Pierce was billed by the mainstream media and others in the know [and you, Lord} as this hate-filled bigot holed up in a guarded compound in West Virginia—“the most dangerous man in America” they called him. When I got to meet him, he turned out to be a quiet, sensible, self-effacing, bookish PhD in physics who didn’t hate anybody. If Pierce wasn’t as he was portrayed, who and what else wasn’t? As it’s turned out, enough else wasn’t that it kinjied me.
A third kinji, the whole white villainy thing. I was an adult during the heyday of the black civil rights movement—the marches in the South, Martin Luther King, the evil of segregation, the lowlife Southern whites with their head-busting clubs and nooses. I bought the idea that whites as a whole were down and dirty bad guys who deserve to get screwed over in any way you can come up with. That whites were my race, me, that my father came from rural Georgia, put a check on that perspective just a tad, but very little. The power of propaganda and social pressure (snubs are the least you’ll endure if you get caught with the wrong attitude). Movies like “To Kill a Mocking Bird” and “Mississippi Burning” and every television show reinforced my negative outlook on an entire race of people, not only now but for all time. Writing the Pierce book in particular—Pierce again—encouraged me look at racial realities for myself and find books that were not on the reading list, as it were. The outcome is that I broke from my strong predilection to hide out with old French movies and 19th-century Russian novels and takeout submarine sandwiches to advocate for whites as a race. The racial area never ceases to surprise me. I think of an article I started writing around the time of George Floyd’s death. This was 2020, not that long ago. Like everybody, I assumed that Derek Chauvin the cop was guilty of murdering Floyd and I was going to figure out the best possible defense of Chauvin at his trial and got into it and it hit me, “Damn, the guy’s innocent!”…
Read the rest of Dr. Griffin’s article to find out what he means by the word kinji at the TOO link.
One has to read between the lines of Griffin’s essay to see how he came down from his ivory tower in academia to learn about the JQ from Pierce, then, more importantly, to write about his new-found truths. Surely, Jared knows, but doesn’t have the courage to tell the much-needed whole truth.
Griffin’s biography of Pierce available, here: The Fame of a Dead Man’s Deeds by Robert S. Griffin – Cosmotheism
Didn’t The American electorate recently install VP-elect Vance — raised a poor WV hillbilly? Vance is good racial stock, despite his WV roots. He raised himself up by his bootstraps to graduate from Jared’s alma mater, as did his Indian wife, Usha.
Perhaps graduating from Yale is what transformed J.D. into being enough of a snob to set aside his roots to marry ourside of his race? That seems to have somehow helped him politically with the multi-racial American herd.
Kenny Voi: January 9, 2025 Where can one read Wolf Stoner’s work? Just tried looking him up and could not find anything… Sounds like he needs to write articles here on CC.
—
That will not happen, Kenny. Wolf gets too close to the truth with his radical racial views for some at C-C. However, I’ll continue to place his writings here as long as I’m allowed. The following was put up today by him at our tiny forum as “The State of Chaos,” where it will be archived and accessible: (183) Words of Wolf Stoner – Page 18 – White Biocentrism. I slightly edit it here for English readers — mostly his use or non-use of articles a, an, and the — because Russian is his first language, not English.
I’ll ask our National Alliance (NA) Media Director Kevin Strom to put Wolf’s essay on National Vanguard (NV) that gets many more views than does White Biocentrism (WB). I like Douglas Mercer’s title for it: “Don’t Say We Were Not Warned.”
It has been unfortunate that a C-C commenter who answers to “Victor,” who was identified as a Putinist who trolls western discussion boards to promote the pro-Kremlin, neo-Bolshevik POV, has repeatedly called Wolf a “fraud” here. Which is the truth-teller, Wolf or “Victor”? This, that I received today from Wolf, might settle that:
I now can’t visit nationalvanguard.org at all. VPN services that I used were blocked too. The Kremlin tries to achieve total informational isolation of the Russian populace.
Wolf’s gift to us will soon be buried at C-C. Since you asked, though, I’ll put it here, in two parts for brevity:
The State of Chaos
by Wolf Stoner
Sat Jan 11, 2025
Everything that Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels warned about 80 years ago comes true. The world that rejected Natural Law and decided to live according to insane dreams comes apart. Nothing ever could save it. “The bad people” were right. “The good people” turn out to be either scoundrels or dumbasses.
There is no such thing as “universal morality” or “human rights” without connection to reality. Every value and every judgment makes sense only in relation to something tangible and real. Any evaluation expresses the coordinate system of the person who makes this evaluation; it is always so; it can’t be otherwise.
All those pretending to be impartial and unaffected by their own interests are either self-deluded fools or malicious tricksters.
Everything in this world is tinged by self-interest, by assertion of the will to life, the will to power. All living creatures are thrown into an eternal circle of constant competition. No one can jump out of this circle. Those who have tired – must cease to exist and free living space for other more capable creatures.
Everything that goes on now fully justifies our worldview.
The decadent world is in a downward death-spiral.
Trump’s wild utterances about “all hell breaking loose” against Israel’s enemies, annexation of Greenland, Canada and Panama are the surest signs of acceleration. Trump isn’t insane saying those things. The western public, for decades nurtured on pseudo-liberal nonsense about “rules-based order”, “human rights” and “peaceful solutions” can’t understand the new reality.
Yes, the real world requires tough decisions. Trump was allowed to become US president in order to save American global dominance. The Jewish-American ruling class was kicked out of their narcotic slumber and spasmodically tried to rectify the situation.
Since 1990es this “elite” lived under the illusion of total victory. They imagined that the world was conquered once and for all; the only things that remained were local operations against remaining diehards who didn’t want to accept the new world of universal happiness.
The first jolt happened in 2001. Regardless of who organized the event, it was the beginning of the downfall.
The Global Islamic movement, Chinese rise, reemergence of the Bolshevik empire, uncontrollable population growth in Africa and Asia – all these factors undermined American hegemony that was achieved immediately after the Soviet collapse.
Chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan back in 2021 triggered Putin’s invasion of Ukraine (most probably, goaded by China).
Chinese military preparations entered a stage where they can’t be reversed. Acceleration of military production there can be explained only by the decision to go to war in the immediate future. Russia, the Chinese vassal, has already put its economy on the war footing.
Chinese allies in the Middle East become ever more restive. The temporary defeat of Hezbollah doesn’t change the overall trend.
Successful use of long-range rockets by Houthi rebels is a sure sign of active Iranian and Chinese participation in this project. It would be impossible for wild tribesmen to master such complicated systems. The way they use those rockets testifies to their intent to influence the situation on a global scale.
The two opposing blocks were formed. The anti-White alliance under China on the one side and the Judeo-Western “free world” on the other. Both sides are equally alien and hostile to the White race. But, the majority of White people, living physically on the territories controlled by the Western block, are inevitably sucked into this struggle.
Trump ran his election campaign as a peacemaker and non-interventionist; the same as Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt.
It is very probable that a loose cannon Trump will be used by the ruling elite to implement radical steps in order to save the situation. It is too late but they will try. The time to strangle China was back in 1990-95; but back then dirty Bill was too preoccupied with more important issues with Monica. Now the poisonous snake has grown too big.
European countries, even under this impending danger, continue to entertain futile hopes about return to “business as usual”. Only Poland, Finland and Baltic states are preparing their militaries for inevitable war. Social decadence in other European countries has progressed so much that their societies are hardly capable of sustained military effort. The alarm bells were already struck in Britain at the highest level of military authorities. The British army isn’t capable of fighting even a month under conditions of war that goes on in Ukraine.
The price of illusions is very high. Society that was raised on the idea of a coming paradise isn’t capable of coming to its senses.
The natural state of things returns to the world. “Hitler was right” is the phrase that will be uttered ever more frequently by those who see the reality…
To be continued…
…Wolf’s gift to us will soon be buried at C-C. Since you asked, though, I’ll put it here, in two parts for brevity:
The State of Chaos (part 2)
by Wolf Stoner
Sat Jan 11, 2025
—
…Continued
The poisonous historiography of WW2 asserted the insane idea about some “bad people” who plunged the whole world into war. This childish view of history was bound to produce many problems. The new generations of political leadership in the West were nurtured on these stupid notions. It’s no wonder that now, when the hard reality demands actions, they behave like scared small children, seeking to cower under a table or behind their mothers’ skirts. They were not brought up to become true leaders, to make difficult decisions and accept full responsibility. They always try to avoid personal responsibility and prefer to engage into prolonged fruitless debates. “Our democracy” at its best.
But the Jewish dominated American elite has finally noticed that their world is coming down. It is why they need Trump, Panama and Greenland. Preparations for the world war come into the final stage.
Whatever decisions were taken, the situation is bound to worsen.
The Bolshevik entity will continue to push further into Europe; even if given the whole of Ukraine, it will demand more. The inner nature of this state didn’t change since Lenin’s time.
China will eventually capture Taiwan. But that isn’t the issue. China plays for much more. They need the whole world. Taiwan is only a pretext to initiate hostilities at any suitable moment.
In the “happy decades” when decadent mainstream creatures enjoyed peaceful lives, China infiltrated and brought under its control the bulk of Africa, many states in Asia and Latin America. Even more than this. Chinese agents were successfully planted in all western countries. Their students are now present in all universities and scientific laboratories. This factor alone is enough to destroy western countries from inside. It will be much more difficult now to deal with these “Chinese minorities” than to put all Japanese migrants into concentration camps back in WW2.
China is hell bent on destroying the West. They hate White people; they will try to annihilate every White man on Earth, if given the opportunity. But in some sense this enmity is more preferable than the more insidious Jewish war on Whites. White people were always able to better cope with an obvious enemy.
Those who seek simple solutions will be greatly disappointed. There are none. Real life presents ever more convoluted and difficult tasks. There will be no replay of the past events. The coming struggle is sure to be much more brutal and complicated. It will test all human qualities to their limits.
The ongoing transformation in western governments is very indicative of the overall change. Their actions become more realistic and less driven by insane unnatural ideologies (some speeches of the senior NATO generals is the best testament of this).
It doesn’t mean that they become more friendly toward Whites but more rational in terms of international competition. The senseless drivel about benefits of unbounded free trade and blessings of globalization is replaced by calls to restore heavy industry, increase military spending and reestablish conscription.
Trump’s call to take Greenland and Panama under control isn’t a publicity stunt but an expression of a more realistic understanding of the situation. It is enough to have a globe on your desk in order to understand why those steps are necessary in the situation of the unraveling global war. The Arctic Ocean will be one of the principal theaters of this war. It is why Greenland, Iceland and Spitsbergen will be even more important than in the Cold War.
The main difference of this coming war is that this time we have no dog in this fight. There are no states that represent our racial interests. This understanding must be the basis of all our evaluations and decision-making.
At the same time we must not fall into delusion about the preference of Chinese-Bolshevik victory. If China takes control above the whole world, it will try to annihilate White race. It is a normal biological reaction. Because the White race is the only real competitor for East Asians in this struggle for world dominance. The Neo-Bolshevik empire, the Chinese junior partner in this undertaking, will itself be incorporated into the overall Chinese state with the remaining white component either being absorbed or annihilated by the new master-race.
The full victory of the Chinese-Bolshevik block would be a disaster for Whites.
In the same time the full victory of the Judeo-American western block would bring eventual destruction of Whites as well. Maybe, not in such a violent way as under Chinese rule but the overall long-term result would be hardly better.
Therefore, the preferable outcome is if this global struggle ends up in destruction of both sides; or in destruction of one side and weakening of the other to the state of impotence (something similar to British and French empires of 1945).
This situation will allow other independent actors to assert their own interests and to push away the former dominant players.
In either case, the unmitigated bloodbath and total destruction is inevitable.
White racial groups must act independently of any states and prepare ground for eventual taking over of the remnants of dysfunctional society. There must be no compromises on this question. No German AFD-like prostitute behavior.
For now we must prepare for the global war and make all necessary provisions in order to evade being drafted into any military (even in the countries that we consider more amenable to our vision; there are enough mainstream people to man the trenches; we have other work to do; our war is yet to come).
We must be prepared to survive for a long time outside of population centers. It is needed either in case of evading authorities or in case of nuclear war and ensuing social chaos. The worst case is to find ourselves in a governmental-run refugee camp.
The widespread mistake of many people is to think that the great undertakings must be started with great trappings and fanfares (Trump-Musk style). It is not so.
Real greatness needs no public gaze. It starts in quiet places with few people present. The mighty oak sprouts from a tiny acorn.
The White racial state starts with us, here and now. We don’t need any governmental licenses or police permissions for this. The White state is inside our mind; the White state is we.
The quality of our preparations now will decide the long-term success of the overall undertaking. We are the rulers of ourselves and our future state. It is the time to become Founding Fathers of our own state.
The initial work in this direction isn’t clean and glorious. On the contrary, any endeavor in this field was always dirty, heavy and bloody. Hacking through impenetrable woods, digging trenches, killing enemies, burying best friends and relatives; no luxuries, no holidays on the French Riviera, no fancy clothes and cars; only hard work, suffering and ardent belief in higher ideals. It is the painful way of nation creation. There are no shortcuts.
The time of great change has come.
Hamburger Today: January 11, 2025 I don’t see that Taylor’s paid any price at all. He still seems to live well and comfortably in the home he’s lived in for decades. Other people who have suffered more would also be held account for snobbish comments like those made by Taylor…
—
That’s right, Wimpy. For all Jared has done for the cause, he is not our “best spokesman,” as some here say.
Our people need hard, unvarnished truth about the reality our shrinking race faces, not half-truths from one “living comfortably,” expecting present comforts to last forever.
One thing I admired about William Pierce was when he first launched the Alliance, after giving up a guaranteed comfortable life as a tenured physics professor at 31, he allowed himself a $50 per week allowance and slept on a cot in the Alliance’s cramped office. When he moved NA’s headquarters from Arlington, Virginia, to West Virginia to get the Hell away from the multi-racial miasma of northern Virginia that Jared apparently enjoys, he hauled in a used mobile home where he lived until his last hours on this Earth.
Wolf Stoner knows our struggle is not about being comfortable; it will not be for softies or Pollyannish daydreamers, but for hardened men and women of pioneer stock — likely to be found more in WV than sucking on JOG’s sugar teat in the D.C. area. Just today Wolf wrote:

Our White state will not be for every White; many will perish along the way.
Kim: January 13, 2025 Re: “[Jared] isn’t nearly as frank talking about Jews as he is white West Virginians.”
I actually was lucky enough to see video of the single moment that Jared actually mentioned “Jews” years back, at a video-recorded public speaking engagement. He very briefly stated, something to the effect of “I never discuss Jews because I don’t really notice any differences of substance between Jews & Whites.”
Maybe his wife is of Jewish descent.
—
Thank you for that quote from Jared. The source of that interview could probably be found if one cares to hunt for it. I don’t.
As for his wife, maybe he currently has a Jewish wife. I doubt it. He was married to Evelyn Rich, who some irresponsible people said is Jewish simply because they think Rich sounds Jewish. That’s how false rumors spread. Evelyn cleared the air on this nine years ago, that can be found, oddly enough, at the SPLC site, here: Setting the Record Straight: Longtime Partner of Jared Taylor Addresses White Nationalist Criticism | Southern Poverty Law Center
I believe that.
She and Jared were maried and have two daughters together. Whether they are still married today does not matter. Evelyn is not from Jewish descent, nor are her and Jared’s daughters.
Considering the source, the SPLC provides the name of the primary originator of the false rumor, a notorious gossip and conspiracy theorist named John de Nugent, here: Prolific Anti-Semite John De Nugent Issues Reward For Information On Jared Taylor’s Wife | Southern Poverty Law Center
Perhaps someone can hunt down John de Nugent to see if he ever paid anyone his reward.

Stronza, responding to Vegitius: January 13, 2025 [Jared] needs to be put out to pasture with David Duke…
–
And just who do you think should put D.D. & J.T. out to pasture? Is there some kind of WN Age Police tasked with this kind of procedure? Just asking.
What a preposterous statement by Vegitius. I’m guessing he’s one of those come-lately alt-righters who think they know it all, but have been proven not to. He will age just as David and Jared have, but it is a cinch he’ll never contribute anything near as much as they have.
I’m older than both of those gentlemen. Maybe Veggie would like to try “putting me out to pasture.”
Most Whites were raised to respect their elders — not Veggie. To him we experienced, washed up “geriatrics” need to get out of the way, make room for young leaders like the Negress Candace Owens and Jesse Lee Peters, whoever he is.
I don’t go on JewTube, not since our Alliance was banned there, but have been told that Candace Owens has 5 million followers, or likers, or whatever they are, because she interviewed a survivor of the Jews’ murderous assault on the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967. Really? Many of those JewTubers are White. Is the Negress their leader now? Really?
Perhaps she had ordered Mr. Tourney’s book from us: Holocaust on the High Seas by Philip Tourney – Cosmotheism.
Veggie preaches on to C-Cers:
What is needed is an explicitly pro-white [sic] organizational structure, something the boomers never pulled off. This structure can be very loose, but people have to agree on three things (1) Who we are, (2) What we want, (3) How do we get it.
William Pierce had launched the organization you can only dream about, before you were born: What is the National Alliance? | National Alliance NA is not for you but some reading this may be interested.
You want to know who we are, Veggie? Pierce wrote a comprehensive 26 chapter book, also before you were born, with that title: Who We Are: A Series of Articles on the History of the White Race (Part 1 – Introduction) | National Vanguard
Who We Are
by Dr. William L. Pierce
Unity & Diversity in Nature, but Never Equality
Miscegenation Stifles Evolutionary Progress
Changing Climate Sped Eurasian Evolution
NO PEOPLE is morally and spiritually healthy unless it is imbued with a strong sense of its own identity. Essential to that sense of identity are an awareness and an understanding of all the qualities which the members of the people share in common.
It is doubly imperative that every man and woman who claims the privilege of membership in a community based on the bonds of common race and common culture knows and takes pride in his racial and cultural history, for in this history are all the elements which give his community its unique character and differentiate its members from all those who are not members.
When such knowledge and pride are lacking, a community is subject to a host of ills and cannot long endure. Solidarity and a sense of responsibility to the community give place to special-interest factionalism and alienation. A lack of a sense of identity blurs the distinction between compatriot and stranger, between friend and foe, and leaves the community prey to the greed or malice of aliens as well as of its own pathological members, who will grow mightily in numbers as loss of identity proceeds.
The National Alliance is still very small compared to the larger national-racial community of which it is a part, yet if it is to grow someday into a truly effective community of blood and spirit which can serve as a nucleus for the regeneration of the larger community, it must begin now the process of education which will later serve as a model for the re- education of our whole people. NATIONAL VANGUARD serves this purpose, and it is hoped that the series of articles entitled “Who We Are” which will appear in successive issues will contribute to its overall effectiveness in that direction.
Let us begin acquiring our understanding of who we are by going far, far back beyond our earliest historical records … back beyond man himself … back to … the Beginning.
In the Beginning was the Cosmos — and is and ever shall be. The Cosmos is the Whole, the All-encompassing. It comprises all things, material and spiritual. The blazing suns of the firmament; the formless gas between the stars; the silent, frozen mountain peaks of the moon; the rustling trees of earthly forests; the teeming creatures of the dark ocean depths; and man are parts of the Cosmos….

Fun fact:
26 states in the U.S. allow first cousins to marry each other–19 without conditions, and 7 under certain restrictions.
Even more interesting:
For those who traffic in stereotypes, it’s noteworthy that first cousin marriages are prohibited in Arkansas, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and are allowed, with no restrictions whatsoever, in New York, California, and Washington DC.
J, you failed to address what I presented in my reply to you (way back under comment #9), but I’ll attempt to address your entire reply to my response here.
—
J Webb: January 14, 2025 I imagine Mr. T is one to choose his battles rather than try to appease everyone who may hold grudges. White identity first, way ahead of critiquing a segment of a segment of the population.
—
Grudges? Pffft. Pointing out the threat organized Jewry poses to our race is no grudge, If “Mr. T” wants to come on C-C and explain why that issue — let us call it the Jewish Question (JQ) — then he is free to do so, but he will not. Though you are obviously very smart and show mastery of the English language, you are not doing a very good job of stating his position, or non-position on the JQ.
I do not use the term White identity as you, “Mr. T,” and others like to use. Plain ol’ “pro-White” is sufficient for starters to describe our side.
“A segment of a segment of the population” is precisely to whom I appeal.” You, like the minority segment of Whites, are racially conscious, but it is a minority segment of that minority segment — those who understand that a mass movement of the loosely organized, if naive greater segment, of what you call “White identity,” will fall short. Look to the failed Unite the Right effort in Charlottesville in 2017 as an example. William Pierce explained this to us in 1976, nearly 50 years ago: Why Don’t All the Pro-White Organizations Unite? | National Vanguard You will not read this since you did not read the link to Who Rules America? about Jewish media control, but some others here at C-C might.
—
When the JQ obsessed claim that Jews control everything, recall that that’s the same thing blacks say about whites (sic). And what is our response? We earned it. Their counter response, no, it is a white (sic) cabal who controls everything keeping the black man down. As per Menken, for all of life’s complex problems there lies an explanation that is simple, straightforward, clear and totally wrong. Continued focus on the Jews just sets any white (sic) identity movement back decades.
—
Like I already told you, I’m beyond your and “Mr. T’s” greater so-called White identity movement, and that I do not blame everything on Jews. I do not care what Blacks have to say about our cause. My message is strictly directed to our own pro-White people, esspecially to the racially responsible, eligible minority segment of the pro-White minority of our people that is perceptive enough to not only name the Jew as the indisputable enemy of our race, but know that we must fearlessly and seriously organize that “minority segment of of the pro-White minority segment of our population” against that threat and to preserve our people as biological racists.
You, sir, are not yet in the “minority segment of that pro-White minority segment of our population.” This is not to say that you cannot at some point become more intelligent and join with us. Jared Taylor has had numerous chanceds to join with us but is locked in with his position of disregarding the impact of Jewish supremacism on our race.
—
And in just a little over a year, the whole Israel-Palestinian war has brought about a thousand fold more protests on the topic.
—
Those protesting American/Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people in that Semite v. Semite conflict protest do so for the wrong reason. They should instead be protesting the “stranglehold” organized Jewry has had on mass media in America. Palestinians do not control Hollywood, Madison Avenue, or control our political process through print and electronic media. It’s the Jew, J. Prove me wrong.
Ultra-Zionist president-elect Trump and his Zionist crew of Cabinet nominees, advisors and ambassadors are pledged to support the Israeli occupiers of Palestian lands, no matter how many idiots protest the genocide for the wrong reasons.
Jews control the Democrat senators who were grilling Trump’s nominee, Pete Hegseth, this morning to be confirmed, or not, as SoD. You’d find that all of the GOP senators are also controlled by Jewry, were you to aggressively grill them, under oath, on the JQ. That will never happen under the current terminally-divided, Judaized American System. Hegseth’s televised confirmation hearing today was guaranteed to be entertaining for the American public, but how many of that viewing audience who identify as White realized that it will take a serious revolution by a minority segment of a minority segment of Whites to pull it off?
—
More important is whether uniting white [sic] identity can occur if everyone wants to poke each other’s eye out in purity tests. Every racial identity has contended with their version of WVA, who rightly or wrongly get trashed. The rich want to get richer and the poor want to get richer by socialism. Nothing new under the sun.
—
“Purity tests” is your term, a slur against serious White separatists/preservatists. Purity generally indicates and is defined as virtuousness and righteousness. I don’t know if “Mr. T” considers William Pierce and his followers to be virtuous or righteous because he and we address the JQ directly; he would be foolish to see us as “evil” as Jews do for being critical of their actions against Whites over centuries.
Would “Mr.T” address the detrimental impact Semitic-based Christianity has had on our race? I’m guessing not. Correct me if I’m wrong. Many of our race’s best leaders have featured writings by Jews who would probably not pass your purity test, including this remarkable piece by Marcus Eli Ravage nearly a century ago: A Real Case Against the Jews | National Vanguard
I’ll conclude with this honest view of Christianity by National Alliance founder Pierce to his followers 43 years ago: On Christianity | National Vanguard
Any Alliance member who is also a member of a church or other Christian organization which supports racial mixing or Zionism should decide now where he stands, and he should then resign either from his church or from the Alliance.
Though he was raised a Presbyterian, as was I, it’s that sort of honesty that attracted me to William Pierce and his teachings. When I compare his courageous honesty to others who claim to be leaders of our race they fall short.
I had responded to JWebb, including a link to Who Rules America? on 1/13, with this:
…J, I expect you’re about as interested in the JQ as Jared. I doubt George Bush or Rick Perry have any interest in exposing Jewish perfidy either. In fact, I am certain that they don’t. They, like nearly all national politicians are as fuddy duddy as Buckley when it comes to the JQ. They may discuss Jewish supremacy in private — like Billy Graham and Dick Nixon did 53 years ago, as they discussed the Jewish stranglehold — or after looking over their shoulders to make sure no one is listening or recording them, but that’s the extent.
However, I’m interested that you say the progressive media shut down so-called White identity movements. Some call mainstream media the legacy media, others call them the corporate media [others the leftist media]. We cannot blame everything that has been detrimental to the White race on Jewry. I agree, but William Pierce certainly had it right when he claimed that their Tribe controlled America’s mass mind through control of the mass news and entertainment industry.
This exposé needs some serious updating, since there has been the usual “changing of the Jews.” But it’s difficult to argue against the facts of Jewish media control then, or now: https://nationalvanguard.org/books/2010-Who-Rules-America-01.pdf
An update:
In conducting an Internet search for our nationalvanguard.org link to WRA? — https://nationalvanguard.org/books/2010-Who-Rules-America-01.pdf — it does not appear.
However, the thief Alex Linder has our version that appears at about the number ten hit with his vanguardnewnetwork.com/Massive/books site. His version links to our 20-year-old closed mailing address. Thanks, Linder.
The top hit is: Who Rules America? Power, Politics, & Social Change by William Domhoff, Ph.D, a Distinguished Professor Emeritus and research professor of psychology and sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz
WRA is frequently assigned as a sociology textbook, documenting the dangerous concentration of power and wealth in the American upper class — a social group within the United States consisting of people who have the highest social rank, due to economic wealth, lineage, and typically educational attainment. The American upper class is estimated to be the richest 1% of the population.
The American upper class is distinguished from the rest of the population due to the fact that its primary source of income consists of assets, investments, and capital gains rather than wages and salaries. Its members include owners of large private companies, heirs to fortunes, and top executives of certain publicly traded corporations (more importantly, critically vital large scale companies and corporations)...blah, blah, blah
So, Bill makes the case that rich “corporate elites” rule America, whereas William Pierce named the names of our media masters and nearly all were Jews. Read his WRA?
WikiJews don’t claim Domhoff as a fellow Jew, but he may as well be by deflecting Jewish control of the powerful news and entertainment industry. However, his close associate and co-author, Richard L. Zweigenhaft, is Jewish? See: Who Rules America: Diversity in the Power Elite (3rd ed.) An interesting article about Jew name-changers by Zweigenhaft at their WRA site: Who Rules America: Who’s Jewish These Days? (Zweigenhaft)
Imagine the influence these two have on impressionable young college students with their sociology textbooks.
