Joe Nickell

The recent death of Joe Nickell, the leading American skeptic of the paranormal, brought to mind a few questions about just what precise sort of things the committed investigator might have been skeptical about in life. Going around laughing at supposed backwoods rednecks saying “Hahaha, you believe in Bigfoot!” might have been OK, but skeptically questioning uncritical witness testimony about the existence and habits of certain other unlikely North American primates like Martin Luther King was quite another.

The wellspring of most, if not all, forms of race denialism is ignorance. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the race denialist himself is ignorant. Richard Lewontin and Stephen Jay Gould certainly weren’t.

A big problem with white people is that we think everyone wants to be like us. I’m not including those of us on the Dissident Right who have been disabused of that notion, but if we are talking white people in general, it is a big problem. Too many whites believe that inside every POC is a white person dying to get out. (more…)

Imagine if I screamed my lungs bloody all day and all night, for years on end, about the Devil and how he’s the greatest threat to humanity. And then, let’s say a well-tempered Satanist tried to counter my caterwauling by saying, “Relax, fella — the Devil’s not that bad.”

If I replied, “The Devil doesn’t exist, you retard,” would I sound crazy? (more…)

It’s a take as old as time: “our leaders divide us by race to stay in power.”

The take resonates with a lot of Americans. We’re instructed to believe we would all get along if it weren’t for meddling politicians and conniving journalists. Black, white, red, yellow — what’s the real difference to the average Joe? (more…)
