Slava Malamud: Ethnostate for Me, Not for Thee
•�June 19, 2021
•�300 Words •�30 Comments
I didn't know about a certain "sports journalist" and emigre called Slava Malamud until the following amusing exchange with RT journalist Bryan MacDonald came up on my feed. Out of curiosity, I did a few searches on his feed. He is not completely inconsequential, having 35,000 followers. So far as the US goes, he repeats... Read More
If the World Voted in the US Elections...
•�October 28, 2020
•�300 Words •�69 Comments
Then, unsurprisingly, Biden would win. Recent IPSOS poll: Here is how this compares to the 2016 figures. Eyeballing, it looks like foreign perceptions of Trump have actually improved over the past four years, if from a low base. This goes against media rhetoric. *** Although the RussiaGaters will doubtless focus on Russia's figures, the reality... Read More
Russia Challenges the Holocaust Monopoly
•�January 23, 2020
•�300 Words •�64 Comments
In the modern world, being a victim gives you status points. So "owning" the Holocaust is like a jackpot - the Germans gave the Jews lemons in 1941-45, and then the Jews made lemonade. Unfortunately, not all Jews are partial to sharing the lemonade stand: Pro tip: This is the part you're meant to say... Read More
American vs. Russian Anti-Semitism
•�December 1, 2019
•�600 Words •�71 Comments
There's one crucial difference, and not many people seem to recognize its importance. "ZOG" pretty much controls the US, which has recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in defiance of the rest of the world (and 63% of US voters), curtailed its otherwise extensive freedom of speech protections by criminalizing the BDS movement, and whose Conservatism...

Thulean Friend on Israel's Prospects
•�August 4, 2019
•�1,000 Words •�111 Comments
In my tradition of rescuing sufficiently fine comments from the relative oblivion that are long comments sections, I am reprinting Thulean Friend's detailed comment on Israel's prospects in the last Open Thread. *** I got into a discussion with Dmitry some time ago about emigration patterns from Israel. His postion was that it was an... Read More
The Jewish Museum & Center of Tolerance
•�July 28, 2019
•�2,100 Words •�353 Comments
I am not exaggerating when I say that the Jewish Museum and Center of Tolerance might just be the single best museum that I have ever visited. This isn't because I identify with Jewishness, consider myself an outstanding philo-Semite, or am particularly moved by its spiritual gravitas. I admire it because it does absolutely everything...

Polish Anti-Semitism
•�February 21, 2019
•�300 Words •�10 Comments
Pretty impressed at Israel's latest efforts to alienate its allies. Polish Perspective: Now Dmitry suggests that electoral considerations may have played more of a role in the Israeli Foreign Minister claiming Poles are born anti-Semites. But personally, I don't know. Perhaps they just feel too genuinely and strongly about this to control their reactions. Anyh

Long time no Open Thread! Will try to return to a weekly OT schedule henceforth. The "core" of my series on the Age of Malthusian Industrialism is done. Here is a quick table of contents: Original article introducing the concept: A Short History of the Third Millennium AoMI I: Where Do Babies Come From? AoMI... Read More
A Synagogue and Two Borders
•�October 27, 2018
•�300 Words •�167 Comments
I just had a look at the website of the Pittsburgh "Tree of Life" synagogue that Robert Bowers shot up. Here is what it has to say about Israel's borders: And about America's: In other words, the outlook of their rabbis is identical to that of Julia Ioffe, who condemns Trumpists as anti-Semitic nationalists for...

The Great Chain of Racial Privilege
•�September 8, 2018
•�1,100 Words •�21 Comments
In a recent post scriptum to one of his articles, Israel Shamir mentioned the trial of a Holocaust denier in Russia, a professor at Perm University called Roman Yushkov. Yushkov's "crime" was to approvingly repost a 2005 article by Anton Blagin, which is pretty much what it says on the tin: "Jews! Return Germans their... Read More
ROG Shoahed the Jews!
•�September 6, 2018
•�800 Words •�56 Comments
Vox Day speculates: * Major Premise: A very large quantity of Jews were killed in the 1936 to 1945 time frame. * Minor Premise: The meticulously bureaucratic Germans, for whom historians possess a tremendous quantity of historical documents related to the WWII era, do not appear to have kept any records of any of the...

It's the end of summer. Time to have a proper Open Thread at last (with links). I should be moving into a new apartment by late September. It was in a dreadful state when I acquired it, and the remont (refurbishment) has used up most of my savings - and I still need to furnish... Read More
The Holocaust in the USSR
•�August 28, 2018
•�1,100 Words •�35 Comments
Ron Unz writes: The demographic argument with regard to Europe’s Jewish population is obviously an important one, as I mentioned in my article. Basically, before the war, there were millions of Jews living in Poland and other parts of Eastern Europe, and after the war they’d mostly vanished, so where did they go, except into... Read More
Holocaust Exegesis
•�August 27, 2018
•�2,000 Words •�146 Comments
Thorfinnsson called it! So my 2 cents worth about Ron Unz's latest article questioning the standard narrative about the Holocaust... 1. Where I am coming from. I am not exactly a philo-Semite. Indeed, I qualify as an anti-Semite by the ADL's standards, and RationalWiki would confirm. In general, I consider that Russians have quite a... Read More
Israel Is Now A Jewish State
•�July 19, 2018
•�400 Words •�108 Comments
The Knesset has just formally passed a Basic Law stipulating that Israel is "the historical homeland of the Jewish people and they have an exclusive right to national self-determination in it." Jerusalem is furthermore defined as the "complete and untied... capital of Israel." Power summary: Jews constitute 75% of the Israeli population, but they have... Read More

Moscow 2018. Can't believe it has been almost a month since the last Open Thread. Quick updates: Was in the UK for a couple of weeks (as you presumably gathered). Apart from the march in London, I also took the opportunity to tick off Canterbury and the Tank Museum in Bovington. Unfortunately, I was not... Read More
Unz Readers' ZOG Awareness
•�May 3, 2018
•�200 Words •�43 Comments
In my huge post on The Jews, I invited my readers to fill out a survey to test how much of the 11 stereotypes about Jews the ADL identifies as anti-Semitic we agree with. I was hoping to use the answers do some data analysis (e.g. how philo/counter-Semitism correlates with Jewish self-identification, political self-identification, Israel... Read More

Am in London again (that that I particularly want to be), will probably visit Aarhus, Denmark in mid-May (conference). Thinking of going to Denmark by train through the Netherlands, finances permitting. I have yet to visit the Dutch. I have finally picked up my copy of Heiner Rindermann's Cognitive Capital here. Will hopefully soon add... Read More
Anti-Semites Are Who Julia Ioffe Doesn't Like
•�March 11, 2018
•�100 Words •�59 Comments
Putin: Western MSM: Of course, Julia Ioffe is a Jewish ultranationalist who believes that simply talking about Russians' contributions to victory in WW2 is anti-Semitic: But pointing out context like this is why I, too, am an anti-Semite.
Quantified JQ: Grasping ZOG by the Horns

•�4,900 Words •�652 Comments
Are you an anti-Semite? Wonder no longer! Take the poll here: Am I an anti-Semite? The SPLC and RationalWiki both seem to think so. But there are also those who believe I am a hasbara shill, or even Jewish myself. Either way, I don't appear to be a particularly enthusiastic philo/anti-Semitic propagandist - of the... Read More
Russia Insider Names the Jew

•�600 Words •�123 Comments
Charles Bausman (Russia Insider): It's Time to Drop the Jew Taboo This is objectively true. Heck, don't ask me, someone who writes for a site famous for its "mix of far-right and far-left anti-Semitic crackpottery" (as per the Jew Cathy Young). Ask
Putler Abusing Jewish Bodies
•�October 23, 2017
•�1,000 Words •�207 Comments
An anti-Putin journalist gets her throat slashed by an intruder forcing his way into one of the last bastions of "free, independent journalism" in Russia. As if that wasn't enough, it came on the background of a recent Russian TV geopolitical drama series called "The Sleepers" - sort of a Russian analogue of "The Americans"... Read More
Anti-Obituary for Anton Nossik
•�July 9, 2017
•�800 Words •�30 Comments
Nossik was an Jewish-Russian journalist who perhaps more than anyone else shaped the contours of the Russian Internet. Apart from having a hand in starting up a huge percentage of the online news leviathans that still dominate the sphere, as an outspoken political personality he was also one of the most popular bloggers in his...

#LessWrongSoWhite: Global Demographics of the Rationality Community in 2016
•�May 31, 2016
•�800 Words •�18 Comments
This month the SF Bay Area based rationality organization LessWrong has released the latest survey of its members, or rather of its "diaspora," since the site itself has gone mostly dormant with many of their members now congregating at Scott Alexander's blog and Yudkowsky's various offshoots). Although some critics disparage Less Wrong as a clique... Read More
Brighton Beach 4 Trump

•�200 Words •�22 Comments
With results for all its precincts now in, it emerges that Brighton Beach (aka "Little Odessa") voted 84.1% for Trump - his sixth highest result in all of NY's ~300 neighborhoods. The also heavily Sovok Jewish neighborhood of Seagate-Coney Island voted 81.4% for Trump. (The big gray area on the map above is a single... Read More
Sovok Jews 4 Trump!
•�April 16, 2016
•�1,400 Words •�153 Comments
The Atlantic's Olga Khazan reveals that Russian-American Jews strongly support Trump. Although American Jews are overwhelmingly liberal, spearheading socially progressive initiatives like gay marriage and reliably voting for the Democrats, this absolutely does not apply to Russian-American Jews. Actually that entire Atlantic article pretty much confirms everything I wrote in my popular 2012 article The... Read More
The Impossibility of a Jewish Russophile

•�56 Comments
According to neocon John Podhoretz, anyway: Though I suppose you can expect nothing less from someone who is essentially a walking anti-Semitic stereotype. � Incidentally, if you're on Twitter, the subject of Podhoretz's wrath @JewRussophile is well worth following for Syria and geopolitical updates.
No, the Russian Opposition's Isn't "Nearly All" Jewish
•�March 6, 2015
•�700 Words •�36 Comments
This claim, funnily enough, comes not from some nutty Russian nationalist but the Jerusalem Post, citing a Russian Jew commenting in the wake of Russian oppositionist Boris Nemtsov's murder. The reason this came to my attention was because it was trumpeted by American identitarian Kevin MacDonald, writing at the Occidental Observer. I can understand why... Read More
Who Really Liberated Auschwitz?
•�January 29, 2015
•�900 Words •�32 Comments
I do swear this is my last post on Auschwitz this year. But the followup to Putin's disinvitation is too juicy to resist writing about. Following in the Polish footsteps, Ukrainian PM Arseny Yatsenyuk has literally claimed that it was the Ukrainians, in particular soldiers from Zhytomyr and Lvov, who liberated Auschwitz. Here is a...

Battle of the hacks! In response to Alexei Pankin calling him an anti-Semite in The Moscow Times, Oleg Kashin pens a tongue in cheek response telling him to imagine a kitten dying every time he abuses an overworn cliche. In which Oleg Kashin gives some advice to the politologists. The editors asked me to reply... Read More

As today seems to be the day of cool visualizations on this blog, so on this note I'd like to highlight a really cool way of analyzing the influence of various people (philosophers, coding languages, etc) on history. One of the basic strategies is to feed the information in Wikipedia info-boxes into a computer program... Read More
IQ Bell Curves, Diasporas, Market-Dominant Minorities
•�August 4, 2012
•�700 Words •�15 Comments
The reason that some go on about Jewish financial dominance is that because in some sense it actually exists (although unlike the anti-Semites/ZOG'ers I see no evidence that it is achieved with under-handed, coordinated, or conscious methods on the part of Jews as a group). The blogger race/history/evolution notes recently compiled two tables analyzing the... Read More
Hamburgers and Rednecks: IQ Estimates of US Ethnic Groups

•�800 Words •�34 Comments
Via The Audacious Epigone: IQ scores by US ethnic groups. It is not very useful I think in theoretical or practical applications but it is interesting as a showcase of why IQ is more than just genetic inheritance, incorporating also Flynn, sampling issues, sense of popular identity, selection bias, etc. Wordsum is basically a vocab...

Russian Anti-Semitism, or Just Affirmative Action In Action?

•�1,200 Words •�14 Comments
While writing this post on Da Russophile about why Russians do not (for the most part) hate Jews - a post that will also be of interest to AKarlin readers - I came across very interesting historical data on literacy and educational accomplishment by ethnic groups in the USSR. Per 100 people of respective nationality... Read More
Mark Adomanis Surprised Russians Don't Hate Jews
•�June 29, 2012
•�700 Words •�46 Comments
From what I generally knew of contemporary Eastern European attitudes towards Jews (in two words “not good”) I expected that the Russian public’s attitude towards Israel would be decidely frosty, if not outright hostile... But what seems noteworthy to me is not the downward blip in 2006 but the generally high level of Russian support... Read More

In my nearly 20 years experience as a Russian living in the West, I have found that almost all my fellows can be reduced to five basic types: 1) The White Russian; 2) The Sovok Jew; 3) The Egghead Emigre; 4) Natasha Gold-Digger; 5) Putin's Expat.

The Economist lies about Russia, it has beef with France, and in general it is far more useful as a barometer of Anglo-Saxon elite opinion than as a good source of objective information on the real world. Nonetheless, it does have the occasional gold nugget, and even one gold vein - its Daily Charts blog.... Read More

Just in case you thought the correlation between human capital and economic development was an artifice of the post-socialist world, here is a similar graph (R2=0.4273) for all the world's countries that have participated in the Math and Science portions of the PISA or TIMMS (8th grade) international standardized student assessments.

About Anatoly Karlin

I am a blogger, thinker, and businessman in the SF Bay Area. I’m originally from Russia, spent many years in Britain, and studied at U.C. Berkeley.

One of my tenets is that ideologies tend to suck. As such, I hesitate about attaching labels to myself. That said, if it’s really necessary, I suppose “liberal-conservative neoreactionary” would be close enough.

Though I consider myself part of the Orthodox Church, my philosophy and spiritual views are more influenced by digital physics, Gnosticism, and Russian cosmism than anything specifically Judeo-Christian.
