As I’ve been pointing out for lo these many years now, progressives have lost all interest in recent history (roughly post-Emmett Till) and now obsess about the increasingly distant past.
For example, today when yet another delegation of Mostly Peaceful Protesters broke through a gate and onto private property in St. Louis, a rich couple who have painstakingly restored one of the city’s most magnificent mansions brought their guns out onto their porch to make sure the mob kept moving on past. New York Times editorialist Binyamin Appelbaum immediately explained the antiquarian angle that justifies breaking and entering:
That St. Louis mansion was built by the Budweiser family, which for decades employed few blacks. It sits on a gated street for the most affluent (white) residents of a poor and heavily black city. Point being, the guns aren't new. They just usually don't waive them around.

“Binyamin Appelbaum is the lead writer on business and economics for the Editorial Board of The New York Times,” so he knows all about the evil “Budweiser family” “waiving” guns around.
I read his mother Diana Muir’s book Reflections in Bullough’s Pond, a Malthusian history of economic development in New England. It’s quite good. I look forward to her next book:
My current project is a book with the working title Nationhood: The Foundation of Democracy.
Nationhood is a pre-condition of liberal democratic government. It is not the only pre-condition for liberal democracy, but it is a pre-condition so fundamental that it has been described by political theorists as a premise, a presumed condition or a tacit assumption in all discussions of liberal democracy. This book argues that we ignore only at our peril the fact that culturally unified nationhood, the bond shared by people who share a language, a literature, a future and a set of ideas, is necessary to liberal democratic government.
The shared culture that we call nationhood has the apparently unique capacity to create a degree of social trust that makes it possible for large populations to enjoy civil liberties and participatory government. Absent nationhood, electoral systems fracture, are manipulated by the wealthy, ratify dictatorship, descend into violence, succumb to military coups, or become paralyzed by ethnic bloc voting.
Indeed.

The McCloskeys are personal injury attorneys. Hardly sympathetic types (based on their profession), and it is not clear anyone was threatening to walk on their lawn since the protestors were going to the mayor’s house. Seems more like a publicity/political stunt.
Appelbaum is also an idiot. There is no “Budweiser” family, there is the Busch family and they have been in the bad graces of beer lovers for a long time. Real Budweiser is brewed in Budweis, Bohemia (now known as České Budějovice, Czechia) with over 700 years of tradition behind it. American “Budweiser” is a much crappier beer first brewed by Adolphus Busch in 1874. That would be fine, except for later attempts by Anheuser-Busch to appropriate and use the Budweiser name worldwide and foist their swill on ignorant foreigners.
The beauty of modern America is that there is so much to despise on both sides of the political divide.
A terrible story involving BudweiserReplies: @Anonymous
The thing I dislike most about the black takeover of American cities is the glorious pre 1945 residential architecture of the cities and the hideousness and horrible awful floor plans of post 1945 suburban houses. And they’re getting worse and worse as the years go on. I don’t mean mansions or middle class pre 1945 houses. Even the 1,000 sq ft 2 bedroom bungalows and apartments or 800 sq flats are infinitely more attractive easier to keep clean easier to furnish and decorate easier to raise kids in and just all around better than any house built after 1945.
The blacks drove us out of the cities by force fear and terrorism. We lost the great parks museums libraries shopping in small businesses instead of chain stores clubs associations public transportation and all the amenities of city life.Replies: @Steve Sailer, @Achmed E. Newman, @Anonymous, @Anon
You seem to dislike the McCloskeys because they live in a house built with Budweiser beer money. Or because they’re Whites who defended themselves from a black mob. You must be an anti White liberal or antifa rioter.Replies: @Peter Akuleyev
They both have their origins in Bavarian pale lager, a version of which was developed into pilsner called by the German name "Urquell" meaning something like "original source". The Czechs copy this with a translated version called "Staropromen" (old spring)."Real" Budweiser couldn't have existed for 700 years because pale lager wasn't invented until the mid 1800s by the German Gabriel Sedlmayr. Sure beer was being brewed in Budějovice for centuries, it was being brewed all over Europe for centuries obviously. Wine has been made in Czechia for centuries also, but no one is clamoring to buy it or "steal" their brand names.
Adolphus Busch himself wasn't a brewer, his family was beer and wine wholesalers, he started working for this Bavarian style brewery and eventually took it over and built it into an empire. Both Budweiser and Budvar have their roots in mid 19th century Baravian breweries and the pale lager developed at the time, as do the famous Czech pilsners. Was the original Budweiser an inferior beer to what was being made in Bohemia? Who knows, but it was probably similar, being similar in provenance.
In case you've never been to České Budějovice, it's a town full of Czechs, the Germans who created and innovated there are long gone. In fact, AB was probably closer to it's Bavarian roots for longer than Budvar. The Czechs of course, want to take all the credit.
Is modern Budvar a better beer than Budweiser? Yes. But the idea that the Czech version is some 700 year old classic original that was stolen by this evil American is idiotic, but the shallow accepted version by most beer experts who read about it for five minutes.Replies: @Twinkie, @yarro

And if the rioters had invaded their home and injured or killed them; we all know what the comments would have been.
“ should have had guns should have had this or that shotgun or rifle”. “ Should carry a handgun even in the house and yard. “”Keep guns in each bedroom kitchen and next to all doors. “
Then lots of advice about sniping and shooting situational awareness, military combat tactics, including blast away while they’re on the public sidewalk and be charged with murder.
This is 2 Whites, one a man not a White woman you guys hate so much who did exactly what you guys fantasize about and it’s nothing but nitpicking criticism and even about their house and yard
Maybe you all work for Soros. I’m the only pro White commenter on the site.
Off Topic. For those of you who advocate retreat to rural areas to get away from blacks here’s an article in the latest issue of communist magazine Mother Jones. “ Whites own 98% of rural land. black farmers demand their share”
That could get really bad. BLM DNC and the rest could send busloads of antifa and BLM to farms kill the family and declare the farm a black farm. Often in rural areas the nearest cop is 40 miles away. The south, Illinois Wisconsin and Minnesota would be invaded first. They have big black liberal cities and farms. Plenty of blacks and liberals to attack the farmers.
And then what, especially on a livestock farm? Hilarity would ensue. They’d be afraid of the cows pigs sheep and even the chickens Imagine blacks and antifa attempting to operate the machinery in a milking barn. Cows are very placid and docile until their udders start hurting then they get real ornery. Lots of farmers have their own boars. Blacks are afraid of all animals
The article shows these riots are well organized events directed by the elite. I can’t remember any riots that went on more than about 5 days. Or any riots that invaded small towns like and suburbs like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills Ca.
And now the communist rag Mother Jones advocates driving Whites off their farms. S Africa Zimbabwe every African country The name should be changed to Harriet Tubman or Kashima Sawant because Mother Jones was White and horror of horrors was a labor union organizer for the loathsome deplorable White working class.

A terrible story involving Budweiser
The assimilated liberal, though not to our new norms: born with some cut-rate imitation of a classic American surname (“Karter”) to a Greek-American nuclear engineer and “environmental engineer,” with the other half a WASP from old Old Lyme (her mother was nicknamed the exceedingly Bush Family-ish “Bunt”)–now married to the Brooklyn-born Stuyvesant grad slash Columbia professor. One of those “every other family member has a Wikipedia article” situations, with “Muir” tucked in to cement her status as… well, in the current quagmire, a civic nationalist with plausible deniability.
Let’s battle-test a random sentence from her website:
“Nationhood is a pre-condition of liberal democratic government.”
Liberal democracies are a pretty new thing, but there are examples of liberal democracies holding up decently well despite being cobbled together from separate nations (see: the UK). One might argue that the USA is likewise cobbled together from separate nations, with old and new tensions the result. If pressed, would she condone or even advocate radical devolution? How “liberal” is the liberal democratic order if something resembling comity is only achievable through various forms of compulsion, up to and including new restrictions on freedom of expression and accepted media?
Yeah, the UK is holding together very well. /sReplies: @martin_2, @yanouz
Apply a little actual thought:
The UK was formed by "cobbling" a couple "separate nations" of very closely related peoples, sharing reasonably common language and culture on to a much larger successful nation. By the time the governance was reasonably "democratic" the joint "British" nation was extremely successful nation state and identity. (People like being part of a winner.)
Now that the UK actually is a cobble of various peoples, and the "British" nation/identity is no longer a world striding winner, but pissed upon as "imperialist", "colonialist", "racist" ... in fact the whole project does have issues and could be not long for this world.
~~
America was never a cobble of separate nations. It was created with a clear Anglo-Protestant core--of a few different strands. The founding then layered on a new "American" identity and follow on groups--racially and culturally similar--were expected to assimilate to this "American" identity.
The problem of the large racially, culturally distinct black population was never resolved. And other non-European peoples were kept at reasonably low--essentially insignificant--levels.
And again, now in the wake of mass immigration and minoritarianism denigrating the actual American identity/nation ... there is no common nation anymore. And we no longer have democratic governance that actually rules the nation. Nor do we have our historica Anglo-Saxon-American liberties.
~~
I'd say your examples support her basic thesis pretty darn well. When you have a real nation--a common people and culture, and ergo high social trust--then you can have actual democracy with high liberty. When that erodes, you end up with a bossy, thuggish super-state telling people what they can and can not do, what they can and can not say in order manage/suppress ethnic trouble.Replies: @Art Deco, @yanouz

Binyamin (בִּנְיָמִין) is straight-up Heeb that was Anglicised to 'Benjamin'.
Actually... thinking about that: you have a point, since it's actually pronounced Vinyamin (Heeb has no 'B' sound, which is weird since it ends with a B).
A lot of people think that the 'Ys' in Heeb names (Yakov, Yoshua, Yonatan) is because Yiddish is a swamp[1] version of German, so it turns Js into Ys. Not so - even though shtetl-dwellers were illiterate and spelt shit phonetically.
Fun fact: his brother's name is Yonatan (shortened to Yoni, which hits the ear weirdly on two counts: in Hindi it means vagina; in regional aboriginal languages in Central Australia means 'rock'). I like RockVulva as a nickname.
Likewise, their sister is Avigail (V instead of B, see?).
As Gilad Atzmon explained in a very very good talk ("The Cognitive Elite of Jewish History"), a very large proportion of the population of the Pale of Settlement were as dumb as a bag of dumb rocks. The cognitive elite fled to Western Europe in the mid-1800s, and the very smartest among them integrated and largely de-Heebed. So by 1951 it made all the sense in the world for Mr and Mrs Appelbaum to name their boy Paul Stuart.
Smart Jews started re-Heebing when they sniffed the wind and got whiff of the idea that being identifiably Jewish was good for social-climbing.
So Appelbaum - a psychosophaster - strongly stamped his kids with very-identifiable Heeb names so that there was no doubt that his kids pass the halachic bar (the mother converted: they're all members of an OrthoHeeb franchise, albeit a liberal-OrthoHeeb one... WTF does that even mean?)[2]
[1] by "a swamp version of German", I don't mean a version of the language spoken by Swamp Germans (viz., Dutch).
[2] Their mother ("Dede" when she's בֵּין חֲבֵרִים) is a Connecticut white-bread with no obvious halachic (matrilinear) Jewish roots - her mother went to Emma Willard and her mother's obit reads like that of a typically high-functioning-bourgeois-Protestant. Since Dede's a member of Ramath Orah, she obviously converted before Bibi and RockVulva were born (and little Avigail's kiddies will be halachically Heeb even if she mates outside the Tribe).
'Dede' has publications - both with Hubby and without - about Jewish identitarian nonsense... oddly, the ones in JPost and Azure have been 404'd. The Azure one can be found on the Wayback Machine.
Some might find it odd to find authoritative musings on genetics where the two writers are a psychosophaster and a History major... I found it interesting that while generally rejecting genetics as a basis for land claims, they bent over backwards to try and paint the Ashkenazim as having a better genetic claim than the Palestinians.

On this comment however, I will defer to your residential architectural knowledge and agree in general. Yes, the American cities were great places to be 60 years ago. Most American people can't even IMAGINE that could be the case. The blacks have completely ruined city life for 1/2 a century. As Peak Stupidity wrote in "The current situation in gentrification nation, for your edification" just a day or so before Mr. Sailer's post on the same subject, white (mostly) people have been taking back small parts of some American cities. However, that effort may have been set back another decade or two after these latest riots.
Yes, we've lost a lot.

One of the successes of 19th century nationalism was the creation and reinforcement of singular national identities bridging different cultures.

Appelbaum is also an idiot. There is no "Budweiser" family, there is the Busch family and they have been in the bad graces of beer lovers for a long time. Real Budweiser is brewed in Budweis, Bohemia (now known as České Budějovice, Czechia) with over 700 years of tradition behind it. American "Budweiser" is a much crappier beer first brewed by Adolphus Busch in 1874. That would be fine, except for later attempts by Anheuser-Busch to appropriate and use the Budweiser name worldwide and foist their swill on ignorant foreigners.

The actual story of Budweiser and Budvar is more complicated, and not nearly so black and white.
They both have their origins in Bavarian pale lager, a version of which was developed into pilsner called by the German name “Urquell” meaning something like “original source”. The Czechs copy this with a translated version called “Staropromen” (old spring).
“Real” Budweiser couldn’t have existed for 700 years because pale lager wasn’t invented until the mid 1800s by the German Gabriel Sedlmayr. Sure beer was being brewed in Budějovice for centuries, it was being brewed all over Europe for centuries obviously. Wine has been made in Czechia for centuries also, but no one is clamoring to buy it or “steal” their brand names.
Adolphus Busch himself wasn’t a brewer, his family was beer and wine wholesalers, he started working for this Bavarian style brewery and eventually took it over and built it into an empire. Both Budweiser and Budvar have their roots in mid 19th century Baravian breweries and the pale lager developed at the time, as do the famous Czech pilsners. Was the original Budweiser an inferior beer to what was being made in Bohemia? Who knows, but it was probably similar, being similar in provenance.
In case you’ve never been to České Budějovice, it’s a town full of Czechs, the Germans who created and innovated there are long gone. In fact, AB was probably closer to it’s Bavarian roots for longer than Budvar. The Czechs of course, want to take all the credit.
Is modern Budvar a better beer than Budweiser? Yes. But the idea that the Czech version is some 700 year old classic original that was stolen by this evil American is idiotic, but the shallow accepted version by most beer experts who read about it for five minutes.

Even though it sits there inertly on the shelf, and one can easily ignore it and never purchase it or drink it without a second thought, he still gets that upset about it. Next up, tables!! LOL You just know Peter could write a 15,000-word seething screed about tables, and how people are not using the right tables from 700 years ago, and how immoral depraved right-wingers are responsible for it.

It’s great that YouTube has these old news specials on The Bronx. I wasn’t around to witness it so it’s great documentation. It’s hard to believe such a prime urban real estate region was destroyed so utterly. It really does reinforce Sonja Trauss‘s definition that:

Such videos really do help explain the Giuliani cult worship I’ve encountered amongst my parents New York City friends. (I’m surprised neither Giuliani or Bloomberg really tried to incorporate a “Batman” theme into their campaigns. Bloomberg could’ve dressed up as a 5”7 Batman knockoff billionaire while Giuliani could’ve been Commissioner Gordon. (Though the character villain “Two-Face” might be a better fit for Giuliani due to both being high profile prosecutors.)
I guess he could get lessons from Giuliani (who was famously motorboated by #OrangeManBad in 2000; wasn't the first time Rudi went that way).

I think personal injury attorneys are necessary to compensate people for injuries which are the result of the wrongdoing of others. At the margins of cases on both sides there is mischief.
Personal injury attorneys became members of the patron class of the Democratic party, while simultaneously or even prior Republicans offered their corporate donors service in the form of attempting to diminish the value of personal injury lawsuits and protect their donors against liability.

So bad is the situation in St Louis that this superb palace (18,000 sq ft and with interiors of unparalleled magnificence) is estimated by sites like Zillow at between $1.5 and 2 million). It’s not even that close to urban decay.
The old elite live in Ladue and Clayton or further afield. Given the events of recent months, that “further afield’ might end up as “out of state”.
In any event, stately places like that Busch family home are much more expensive to build (or restore) than the sales market would yield. It is for this reason that an astute insurance agent will counsel the purchaser of an older property to insure it for "replacement value," which is the cost to rebuild what is there, rather than the market value.
I knew about one such fellow who had purchased a granite affair on the Mainline of Philadelphia for something in the neighborhood of $2 million. His agent persuaded him to insure it for replacement value, and when years later the home suffered a total fire loss the owner received a check for $9 million. He could go down the street, purchase an equivalent home for $2 million, and pocket the difference.

I said “decently,” not perfectly; Scotland and Wales have been stably British for centuries. French and English Canada have hung together for hundreds of years now. Italy and Spain, for all their problems, are similar. Iran and Russia (not the USSR–Russia) are also multiethnic and relatively stable over time.
One of the successes of 19th century nationalism was the creation and reinforcement of singular national identities bridging different cultures. That often means a specific “nation” winning out over the others within the coalition that is the state. Is that a good thing? If it’s well-executed, yes. Is it unavoidable? Unless and until the world magically transforms into a collection of Iceland-scale states, apparently so (and I’m sure some intra-Icelandic culture or region feels dominated by some other intra-Icelandic culture or region).
Nations are younger than tribes and older than empires. A good middling unit, but not always the end-all be-all of political, military, or economic organization–especially not for small nations in a world of empires that present themselves as assimilationist enterprises.

Even the 1,000 sq ft 2 bedroom bungalows and apartments or 800 sq flats are infinitely more attractive easier to keep clean easier to furnish and decorate easier to raise kids in and just all around better than any house built after 1945.

As Peak Stupidity wrote in “The current situation in gentrification nation, for your edification” just a day or so before Mr. Sailer’s post on the same subject, white (mostly) people have been taking back small parts of some American cities. However, that effort may have been set back another decade or two after these latest riots.

Wrong. Try reading the linked article. They turned a rundown, abused historic home into a museum piece. They had to bring a sandblaster inside that fucking house. I doubt you know what a shitshow that process would be in that context. They did an insane amount of work to a house that was basically a tear-down, and micro-managed the process themselves all along the way.
You try finding competent contractors to deal with the intricacies of that mansion. But you probably have problems cleaning up your room, much less rehabbing an old mansion with diverse interior structure, where “fixing” one problem can exacerbate another, at tremendous expense.
Those people weren’t “defending their home,” they were defending history, and nobody gives a fuck what you or the ignorant negroes think about it, except to know to stay away from it.
Also, apparently the moment the negroes breached those gates, they were on private property, not a public sidewalk or street. The owner “owned” the sidewalk they were walking on. That’s another reason he got hyper about the situation. The negroes no legal business being there, and their ignorance of that is not a legal defense.
Just because your life sucks doesn’t mean others doing better than you have to suck, if they want to take a hand in their destiny. Doesn’t matter if they’re personal injury lawyers. Doesn’t matter if the money to construct it was made on shit beer. They did an excellent job on that former moldy, abused, shitshow of a house. It’s a museum piece, and they have a right to defend it for themselves, and for posterity. They did. Kudos to them.
Thanks for that cartoon, Kronos.
This post is a knee-jerk response to an incident we have an incomplete picture of. Did any of the protesters try to enter the house? Why run out into the street, instead of staying inside? These people have made themselves a target, and could face serious consequences. They certainly didn’t seem to know how to handle their weapons.
The protesters broke down their gate and were standing in mass on their property chanting violent slogans. Given all we've seen in the past few months the couple's response was entirely reasonable. You can fault them for their obvious lack of experience with firearms but little else. Do you think the mob would hesitate to start looting if someone broke one of their windows? Do you think the police would come promptly if they called?

This is why EVERY member of the family should have their own semi-auto rifle to supplement their pistol. The light-weight rifle is better at engaging multiple targets.
An even better example would be the old-fashioned triangular-cross-section bayonets; it's not remotely difficult to repurpose a classic (say, one designed for a Martini-Henry) without just duct-taping it to the rail. Adapters FTW.
For normal modern bayonets, there are adapters that enable AR15s to take a standard M7 bayonet. TripleR make one for AR barrels with a lug; Bushmaster make one for ARs with no lug. I think they're heavily dependent on barrel length and FSB. Dinzag make a range for both, and ones that fit non-NATO bayonets.

They both have their origins in Bavarian pale lager, a version of which was developed into pilsner called by the German name "Urquell" meaning something like "original source". The Czechs copy this with a translated version called "Staropromen" (old spring)."Real" Budweiser couldn't have existed for 700 years because pale lager wasn't invented until the mid 1800s by the German Gabriel Sedlmayr. Sure beer was being brewed in Budějovice for centuries, it was being brewed all over Europe for centuries obviously. Wine has been made in Czechia for centuries also, but no one is clamoring to buy it or "steal" their brand names.
Adolphus Busch himself wasn't a brewer, his family was beer and wine wholesalers, he started working for this Bavarian style brewery and eventually took it over and built it into an empire.

They both have their origins in Bavarian pale lager, a version of which was developed into pilsner called by the German name "Urquell" meaning something like "original source". The Czechs copy this with a translated version called "Staropromen" (old spring)."Real" Budweiser couldn't have existed for 700 years because pale lager wasn't invented until the mid 1800s by the German Gabriel Sedlmayr. Sure beer was being brewed in Budějovice for centuries, it was being brewed all over Europe for centuries obviously. Wine has been made in Czechia for centuries also, but no one is clamoring to buy it or "steal" their brand names.
Adolphus Busch himself wasn't a brewer, his family was beer and wine wholesalers, he started working for this Bavarian style brewery and eventually took it over and built it into an empire. Both Budweiser and Budvar have their roots in mid 19th century Baravian breweries and the pale lager developed at the time, as do the famous Czech pilsners. Was the original Budweiser an inferior beer to what was being made in Bohemia? Who knows, but it was probably similar, being similar in provenance.

“Buweiser” is the adjective of “Budweis,” the German name for Ceske Budejovice. It is thus at least a misnomer to brew a Budweiser in St. Louis. In the same way, Pilsner comes from Plzen. The acceptable compromise worked out by the courts, at least in Europe, is to let the Americans have Bud and Pils. Place names as trademarks are a settled issue in Europe and Asia, champagne must come from the eponymous region of France, same with Kobe beef. Where you come from is who / what you are; this should not be objectionable to conservatives.

Sascha Baron-Cohen, easily the most noxious person alive whenever he pops up, has decided to leave his mansion in Golders Green during rioting to attack our Constitution, mock people scared of unpoliced rioting, and defame gun owners as racists (standard move: he is incapable of seeing how his favorite country, which is not the one he lives in or the one he defames people in, is susceptible to the same accusation).

Finally saw LA 92, which is crazily but ineffectively biased: it has so much good material in it that the “hurt feelings justifies murder” spin they try cannot work. It is notable that in Detroit in 1967 and in LA in 1992 the rioters were allowed to do what they wanted for an alarming amount of time. In Detroit, the federal government did everything it could to not help in any way. Michigan officials spent hours editing and re-submitting the same request because one of Lyndon Johnson’s goons kept finding technicalities and tones wrong with it. In LA the delay was supposedly because America fresh off the Gulf War could not find enough bullets in Southern California. In both cases the rioting effectively stopped once the thin green line appeared. It’s almost like we know exactly how to switch this thing off but don’t want to for some mysterious reason.

Steve is the Jimmy Page of political riff-making. He’s effortlessly shed so many great bon mots and slogans off the top of his head you’d think they were dandruff. His only weakness is that he is sometimes like a writer writing mainly to impress other writers. In an interview the creator of BLACKADDER was almost in tears as he recalled the near-sublime excellence of THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW, but- let’s face it- it was the more anodyne and broad SEINFELD that left the way bigger mark on the culture and made the mondo bucks.
During the 90’s and up through the start of the Great Awokening, the damage done to great American cities by Civil Rights had started to be mended. The big three cities, and especially NYC, made the biggest recoveries. For smaller cities like Baltimore and Cleveland and St. Louis, though, renewal was spotty and ultimately superficial. Basically all theses smaller cities built a new ball park, renovated a waterfront or shopping center or two (in St. Louis’s case it was turning the venerable Union Station into a shiny new shopping mall) but ultimately everyone could tell it would all go up in flames as soon as the vice-grip of Giuliani-style law and order was relaxed.
This illusory urban renewal gave rise to the facile “creative class” sociological theories of one Richard Florida, though, so how about calling this new era de-Floridation?
I completely disagree. Steve has never 'borrowed' anothers work and passed it off, let alone copyrighted it, as his own.

I’ve never been to St. Louis and I don’t know the precise history of the place, but my guess is that when the Busch family built their home there St. Louis wasn’t such a “poor and heavily black city.” Otherwise, the mansion probably wouldn’t have been built in St. Louis in the first place.
I suppose however that some of what is playing out here is intra-white status jockeying. Appelbaum no doubt lives a comfortable existence away from swarms of underclass blacks, but he’d never do something as gauche as brandishing an evil black rifle – which is a totem of the bad white class. Even if the McCloskeys are, as personal injury entrepreneurs, good liberals in the usual ways who donate to Democratic candidates and so forth, they’ve just marked themselves as being outside of the goodwhite class. Appelbaum and others in the Press now need to lead the charge to destroy them lest any other crackers get the idea that you’ll be permitted to defend your life, family and property with force against State-backed rioting mobs.
Sure Budweiser “employed few blacks” but that didn’t stop Jesse jackson from strong arming a lucrative Budweiser distributorship for his two sons. Did that get memory holed?
It also meant that Jackson was now bound by his own financial interests to support the company, something that a quick payoff could never have achieved. When you take into account who-ultimately-did-what-to-whom, you might agree with me when I say Anheuser-Busch had some clever chaps on their payroll.
Jerry has the right idea. As Jimmy Hoffa explained, you always charge a guy with gun. If he has a knife, you run away.
Couple defending home donated 4K to the Dems, and the lawyer guy defended a client against police brutality. Some people have to learn the hard way. If you’re in your 60s and still donating to the Democrats, you’re a fool.

Snobbery always takes precedence over survival.
The problem when it is 300:1 or 2 is that your head is on a swivel. You get the loud older obnoxious agitators closing up front and center and then the more aggressive ones come up from behind and cold cock you. These guys kept everyone off the porch and woe be to the first one that climbed up there.
Lol. You know nothing.
Dude, if they wanted to be on the porch they would have gone there. Nobody was impressed by Joe Lawyer on the porch. Check the vid, watch the body language of the people in the foreground – they’re not all that worried.
Come on, just look at that guy: no spare magazines, no real eye protection, no hearing protection, his wife waving some popgun. If he’s left handed then he needs an ambi-safety, or to have drilled with flicking the safety using his dominant hand. If he’s left handed I hope the brass deflector is set up to keep him from getting hot cases in his face, too. If he gets bumrushed from two sides it’s over.
But really…he’s not ready to fight, he’s just waving a Harry Potter wand around, hoping for magic. Lucky for him nobody wanted a fight there and then, but he’s put a “ROB ME!” sign on his house in my opinion.
This is a crash course in “How not to defend anything”.
I would also add that being inside during a home invasion might be the worst place possible because no one knows you are in there. I would rather take my chance on the porch.
You are ignorant and foolish. Here’s two words for you to Google: “fatal funnel”. Learn something.
I agree that, were the two lawyers up against organized professionals willing to take casualties if the odds were right. they'd have lost.
They were in fact up against random street thugs, out for a walk in the sun and no more, an who listened to organizers. The organizers (blacksuit with the hand held transceiver) didn't want dead people this time. One magazine is less than I'd want in that situation, but 30 rounds is a lot for an organizer who doesn't want to risk any casualties.
So, this time, the lawyers got lucky. Fine by me.

In general, those older home interiors and layouts are dingy, cramped, and uncomfortable. Most people don’t like them. People like older structures and exteriors, but if they have to actually live in all the rooms of the house and have kids and stuff, they remodel and update the interior. Or they’re single, couples, older couples like these Budweiser folks, or hipsters, who preserve the interiors as a project or can tolerate preserving them because they don’t use most of the interior space.
It’s much easier to train children to be tidy if there’s a front hall that doesn’t go through the awkward space but goes past a living room, dining room kitchen with walls around it directly to their rooms where they can deposit jackets backpacks homework shoes etc
And only brainwashed trailer trash proles borrow money to install $70,000 dollars worth of 20 by 15 foot kitchen in the awkward 20 by 30 space with a $300 IKEA couch and a TV. How in the world did refrigerators become a status symbol? Who eats dinner at a kitchen counter even though it has an $8,000 soapstone or even worse granite countertop? Trailer trash proles that’s who. Granite countertops as vulgar as a bar mitsvah.
Those hideous kitchens that overwhelm the awkward ugly main room are just the result of the idiot public falling for plumbing contractors and real estate agents conning the home buying public.
Rooms good. Badly proportioned awkward all purpose space bad badder worst. Interior walls good. I mean come on, how can one possible decorate an attractive living room with a kitchen in the middle of it?
Another bad floor plan is the huge master bedroom suite and tiny little kids rooms. Kids need decent size rooms for toys clothes sports equipment homework and the school projects.
You’ve probably never seen a well proportioned living room with beautiful furniture and fabrics that’s a real room that isn’t just a traffic way from front door to the rest of the house with a kitchen in the middle of it.
Stoves, sinks and refrigerators just don’t belong in the same room as beautiful furniture fabrics and art. Or even ikea and Living Spaces furniture.
Are you the person who does most of the cleaning and tidying in your house? If you are, you’d be shocked at how much faster and easier it is to keep a small kitchen with walls around it and 2 smaller rooms clean and tidy all the time than one huge multipurpose space that’s the only traffic way from the front door to the bedrooms.
Once people who’ve grown up in suburban houses with just one multipurpose main room see a real living room they know what I mean. Why do you think houses in San Francisco are so expensive compared to the suburbs? Real kitchens with walls and real properly proportioned living rooms that can be beautifully furnished.
Open plan started when a builder found he could save the cost of 3 pieces of sheet rock , 12 studs mud , tape half a day’s labor for 2 guys and make the place look bigger. So the trailer trash proles accepted it. But then since the kitchen was now part of the living room, the builders decided to vulgarize the kitchen and expand it into the living room area to the point there’s only room for a couch and TV
The trend is ending because of the need for home offices that are more than a stool at the kitchen counter and interior walls to hang the 6 ft TV screen on.
Another theory about huge kitchens that visually and physically overwhelm the main room. I think it’s these open kitchens that cause obesity. When the only way one can avoid looking at the kitchen is to in your bedroom it’s tempting to snack all day.

Well, ok, but the Budweiser brewery tour is well worthwhile, should you find yourself in St Louis.
As it happens, I found myself in St Louis six years ago and took a self-guided walking tour of the area that this lawyer couple might live in. Their house is in a class by itself, but there are hundreds of once-grand mansions around there.
One friendly homeowner gave me the inside scoop. He explained that for a while in the 60s to the 80s the whole neighborhood was largely abandoned due to crime.
But in the nineties, the city put notions of racial “justice” (or revenge) aside, in the interest of collecting some property tax. So it allowed homeowners to restrict access to their streets, run private security, and enjoy some grudging police protection from the city. Gradually, white people started moving back. But they do exist very much at the pleasure of the city’s politicians.
For the curious, point Google Streetview at Westmoreland Place, Portland Place… And again, I don’t know where the lawyer couple’s mansion is, so I’m not doxxing them. I’m just saying, look around there, the houses are pretty cool.
The puzzle is not where the wealth came from: St Louis was a power house from around 1840 till the first war at least. The puzzle is rather why was the newly rich class there so culturally sound. What was it about its members that they found and rewarded fine architects, and demanded real architectural distinction as opposed to mere lavish display? The Boston Brahmins prized discretion, and the New York grandees unashamed displays of wealth, while the St Louis rich prized distinction.
The answer I think is that so many of them were Catholic and German, like the Busch family. The Irish, ands there were many, were very significantly of a better class than those who stayed on the East Coast, particularly the Boston rabble. Their clergy were uniformly of a high standard, often born and bred in Europe, and also from good backgrounds. The French influence was more a question of respect for the past, and for the vision of a great French monarchy which had given the city its name, then any particular French presence after the city's beginnings. The families which boasted and still boast of descent from the Chouteaus, the founding family of the city, rarely themselves carry French surnames.
Whether the descendants of those families who made and once ruled St Louis still have the backbone necessary to defend it remains an open question, except for one point: they will get no help from today's decadent Church, despite brave young Fr Schumacher, because it is now in the hands of rank traitors, who hate what it was, and have thrown in their lot with the BLM madness; more, with the likes of George Soros and the Chinese Communists.
It is far more likely that Fr Schumacher will be silenced, even punished, than that the spokesmen for the archdiocese will breathe a word of criticism of black bodies, however violent those same bodies may decide to be.

I wouldn’t trust Zillow’s estimate of the value of the property in question, since IIRC it is an automated program which uses sales figures for comparable properties and there are probably few comparable properties in St. Louis and they sell infrequently.
In any event, stately places like that Busch family home are much more expensive to build (or restore) than the sales market would yield. It is for this reason that an astute insurance agent will counsel the purchaser of an older property to insure it for “replacement value,” which is the cost to rebuild what is there, rather than the market value.
I knew about one such fellow who had purchased a granite affair on the Mainline of Philadelphia for something in the neighborhood of $2 million. His agent persuaded him to insure it for replacement value, and when years later the home suffered a total fire loss the owner received a check for $9 million. He could go down the street, purchase an equivalent home for $2 million, and pocket the difference.

Let's battle-test a random sentence from her website:
"Nationhood is a pre-condition of liberal democratic government."
Liberal democracies are a pretty new thing, but there are examples of liberal democracies holding up decently well despite being cobbled together from separate nations (see: the UK). One might argue that the USA is likewise cobbled together from separate nations, with old and new tensions the result. If pressed, would she condone or even advocate radical devolution? How "liberal" is the liberal democratic order if something resembling comity is only achievable through various forms of compulsion, up to and including new restrictions on freedom of expression and accepted media?Replies: @Cloudbuster, @AnotherDad
You are lawyering her sociologically sound statement.
Apply a little actual thought:
The UK was formed by “cobbling” a couple “separate nations” of very closely related peoples, sharing reasonably common language and culture on to a much larger successful nation. By the time the governance was reasonably “democratic” the joint “British” nation was extremely successful nation state and identity. (People like being part of a winner.)
Now that the UK actually is a cobble of various peoples, and the “British” nation/identity is no longer a world striding winner, but pissed upon as “imperialist”, “colonialist”, “racist” … in fact the whole project does have issues and could be not long for this world.
~~
America was never a cobble of separate nations. It was created with a clear Anglo-Protestant core–of a few different strands. The founding then layered on a new “American” identity and follow on groups–racially and culturally similar–were expected to assimilate to this “American” identity.
The problem of the large racially, culturally distinct black population was never resolved. And other non-European peoples were kept at reasonably low–essentially insignificant–levels.
And again, now in the wake of mass immigration and minoritarianism denigrating the actual American identity/nation … there is no common nation anymore. And we no longer have democratic governance that actually rules the nation. Nor do we have our historica Anglo-Saxon-American liberties.
~~
I’d say your examples support her basic thesis pretty darn well. When you have a real nation–a common people and culture, and ergo high social trust–then you can have actual democracy with high liberty. When that erodes, you end up with a bossy, thuggish super-state telling people what they can and can not do, what they can and can not say in order manage/suppress ethnic trouble.
The 'ethnic trouble' is manufactured by elements of the professional-managerial class. Working-class blacks assent to it in various ways, but they're not the source of it. Higher ed apparatchiks, school apparatchiks, the faculty, the bar (especially the appellate judiciary), the HR apparat, the mental health and social work apparat, the media, the tech company woketards, Democratic pols are responsible for this. A great many of these people are zero-marginal-product employees.Replies: @Kratoklastes
Did white Southerners always think they shared a "common nation" with white Yankees? It isn't just down to race--we're still living downstream of Hamilton vs. Jefferson.

You had Germans in pockets of Wisconsin and Texas Hill Country speaking various Deutsche dialects amongst themselves for generations; you still do among the Amish. Doesn't that present a problem for your idealized vision of the past?
There are problems with unfettered mass immigration to first world countries, particularly when those countries have generous social safety nets and fail to maintain border security. But from the very beginning, the US was founded on a less ethnonationalistic basis than, say, Japan. "Diversity is our strength" is vapid political rhetoric, but it has a grain of truth; the same openness that gives rise to diversity (ethnic, religious, ideological) is one of the modern West's core strengths. That's why it was weaponized so effectively.

You all call Budweiser swill yet every bar in Europe has Budweiser on tap. It’s quite mellow and good tasting. It’s nice on tap, maybe a bit chemically if you drink too many cans of the stuff. Somebody must be drinking it. Perhaps Nixon’s “silent majority.” I could never say no to a Budweiser on tap. It’s always a good choice.

The rise of Scottish Nationalism is a great illustration of Glubb Pasha’s thesis in The Fate Of Empires
http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf
Scotland was joined to England by the Acts Of Union in 1707. The current Scottish ‘National Anthem’, Flower Of Scotland, is about the battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
Mind, it didn’t help that, in the words of The Good Hitchens, the British Government answered resurgent Scottish Nationalism not with argument but with subsidy. What you subsidise you get more of.

Apply a little actual thought:
The UK was formed by "cobbling" a couple "separate nations" of very closely related peoples, sharing reasonably common language and culture on to a much larger successful nation. By the time the governance was reasonably "democratic" the joint "British" nation was extremely successful nation state and identity. (People like being part of a winner.)
Now that the UK actually is a cobble of various peoples, and the "British" nation/identity is no longer a world striding winner, but pissed upon as "imperialist", "colonialist", "racist" ... in fact the whole project does have issues and could be not long for this world.
~~
America was never a cobble of separate nations. It was created with a clear Anglo-Protestant core--of a few different strands. The founding then layered on a new "American" identity and follow on groups--racially and culturally similar--were expected to assimilate to this "American" identity.
The problem of the large racially, culturally distinct black population was never resolved. And other non-European peoples were kept at reasonably low--essentially insignificant--levels.
And again, now in the wake of mass immigration and minoritarianism denigrating the actual American identity/nation ... there is no common nation anymore. And we no longer have democratic governance that actually rules the nation. Nor do we have our historica Anglo-Saxon-American liberties.
~~
I'd say your examples support her basic thesis pretty darn well. When you have a real nation--a common people and culture, and ergo high social trust--then you can have actual democracy with high liberty.

Huh?
Binyamin (בִּנְיָמִין) is straight-up Heeb that was Anglicised to ‘Benjamin’.
Actually… thinking about that: you have a point, since it’s actually pronounced Vinyamin (Heeb has no ‘B’ sound, which is weird since it ends with a B).
A lot of people think that the ‘Ys’ in Heeb names (Yakov, Yoshua, Yonatan) is because Yiddish is a swamp[1] version of German, so it turns Js into Ys. Not so – even though shtetl-dwellers were illiterate and spelt shit phonetically.
Fun fact: his brother’s name is Yonatan (shortened to Yoni, which hits the ear weirdly on two counts: in Hindi it means vagina; in regional aboriginal languages in Central Australia means ‘rock’). I like RockVulva as a nickname.
Likewise, their sister is Avigail (V instead of B, see?).
As Gilad Atzmon explained in a very very good talk (“The Cognitive Elite of Jewish History“), a very large proportion of the population of the Pale of Settlement were as dumb as a bag of dumb rocks. The cognitive elite fled to Western Europe in the mid-1800s, and the very smartest among them integrated and largely de-Heebed. So by 1951 it made all the sense in the world for Mr and Mrs Appelbaum to name their boy Paul Stuart.
Smart Jews started re-Heebing when they sniffed the wind and got whiff of the idea that being identifiably Jewish was good for social-climbing.
So Appelbaum – a psychosophaster – strongly stamped his kids with very-identifiable Heeb names so that there was no doubt that his kids pass the halachic bar (the mother converted: they’re all members of an OrthoHeeb franchise, albeit a liberal-OrthoHeeb one… WTF does that even mean?)[2]
[1] by “a swamp version of German“, I don’t mean a version of the language spoken by Swamp Germans (viz., Dutch).
[2] Their mother (“Dede” when she’s בֵּין חֲבֵרִים) is a Connecticut white-bread with no obvious halachic (matrilinear) Jewish roots – her mother went to Emma Willard and her mother’s obit reads like that of a typically high-functioning-bourgeois-Protestant. Since Dede’s a member of Ramath Orah, she obviously converted before Bibi and RockVulva were born (and little Avigail’s kiddies will be halachically Heeb even if she mates outside the Tribe).
‘Dede’ has publications – both with Hubby and without – about Jewish identitarian nonsense… oddly, the ones in JPost and Azure have been 404’d. The Azure one can be found on the Wayback Machine.
Some might find it odd to find authoritative musings on genetics where the two writers are a psychosophaster and a History major… I found it interesting that while generally rejecting genetics as a basis for land claims, they bent over backwards to try and paint the Ashkenazim as having a better genetic claim than the Palestinians. Pilpul.
Nah , letter 'Bet " with dagesh is pronounced like B. Without dagesh , it's pronounced like V. So the way you cited it "Binyamin (בִּנְיָמִין) " with dagesh (dagesh is the little dot inside the 'Bet') it is pronounced Binyamin.
I realize in Hebrew--perhaps in semitic languages generally it must mean something else. But i'm not a Semite, America isn't full of Semites, but people whose roots are Indo-European. There are about a billion native speakers of languages where it means something not very masculine.
(Note: i have very positive feelings about Yoni ... just not something i'd name a boy.)

Good catch! There are several radio comms that Antifa may be using, from the Family Radio Service FRS to some amateur or “ham” rigs. Some FRS systems also provide location to other handsets that have been paired. Hunters often use them to keep track of each other. Obvious use during peaceful demonstrations is obvious.

And here I thought it was only young White women victimized by black criminals the MEN OF UNZ hated. Now you even hate and criticize a White man who did exactly what all of you have been posting and fantasizing about for decades.
And if the rioters had invaded their home and injured or killed them; we all know what the comments would have been.
“ should have had guns should have had this or that shotgun or rifle”. “ Should carry a handgun even in the house and yard. “”Keep guns in each bedroom kitchen and next to all doors. “
Then lots of advice about sniping and shooting situational awareness, military combat tactics, including blast away while they’re on the public sidewalk and be charged with murder.
This is 2 Whites, one a man not a White woman you guys hate so much who did exactly what you guys fantasize about and it’s nothing but nitpicking criticism and even about their house and yard
Maybe you all work for Soros. I’m the only pro White commenter on the site.
Off Topic. For those of you who advocate retreat to rural areas to get away from blacks here’s an article in the latest issue of communist magazine Mother Jones. “ Whites own 98% of rural land. black farmers demand their share”
That could get really bad. BLM DNC and the rest could send busloads of antifa and BLM to farms kill the family and declare the farm a black farm. Often in rural areas the nearest cop is 40 miles away. The south, Illinois Wisconsin and Minnesota would be invaded first. They have big black liberal cities and farms. Plenty of blacks and liberals to attack the farmers.
And then what, especially on a livestock farm? Hilarity would ensue. They’d be afraid of the cows pigs sheep and even the chickens Imagine blacks and antifa attempting to operate the machinery in a milking barn. Cows are very placid and docile until their udders start hurting then they get real ornery. Lots of farmers have their own boars. Blacks are afraid of all animals
The article shows these riots are well organized events directed by the elite. I can’t remember any riots that went on more than about 5 days. Or any riots that invaded small towns like and suburbs like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills Ca.
And now the communist rag Mother Jones advocates driving Whites off their farms. S Africa Zimbabwe every African country The name should be changed to Harriet Tubman or Kashima Sawant because Mother Jones was White and horror of horrors was a labor union organizer for the loathsome deplorable White working class.
Wallow in your hatred and disdain of the McCloskeys, guys. And continue your fantasies about using your rifles to defend your homes against the ravening hordes.

Good to see that they’re using an example with no serrations – last thing anyone needs is the fucking thing getting stuck between bones. Serrations have no place on trench knives.
An even better example would be the old-fashioned triangular-cross-section bayonets; it’s not remotely difficult to repurpose a classic (say, one designed for a Martini-Henry) without just duct-taping it to the rail. Adapters FTW.
For normal modern bayonets, there are adapters that enable AR15s to take a standard M7 bayonet. TripleR make one for AR barrels with a lug; Bushmaster make one for ARs with no lug. I think they’re heavily dependent on barrel length and FSB. Dinzag make a range for both, and ones that fit non-NATO bayonets.
Frankly, if you’re using a bayonet on a longarm, you let the other guy get waaaay too close and you’re almost certainly going to die. Your overwatch guys need a kick in the arse (assuming they’re not dead).
If you think you might be in such a close quarters situation (such as mob control), it's best to remove the sling. People who get close enough can grab the sling, and then have as much control over the rifle / shotgun as you do.

There are problems with unfettered mass immigration to first world countries, particularly when those countries have generous social safety nets and fail to maintain border security. But from the very beginning, the US was founded on a less ethnonationalistic basis than, say, Japan. “Diversity is our strength” is vapid political rhetoric, but it has a grain of truth; the same openness that gives rise to diversity (ethnic, religious, ideological) is one of the modern West’s core strengths.

The puzzle is not where the wealth came from: St Louis was a power house from around 1840 till the first war at least. The puzzle is rather why was the newly rich class there so culturally sound. What was it about its members that they found and rewarded fine architects, and demanded real architectural distinction as opposed to mere lavish display? The Boston Brahmins prized discretion, and the New York grandees unashamed displays of wealth, while the St Louis rich prized distinction.
The answer I think is that so many of them were Catholic and German, like the Busch family. The Irish, ands there were many, were very significantly of a better class than those who stayed on the East Coast, particularly the Boston rabble. Their clergy were uniformly of a high standard, often born and bred in Europe, and also from good backgrounds. The French influence was more a question of respect for the past, and for the vision of a great French monarchy which had given the city its name, then any particular French presence after the city's beginnings.

St Louis named after a foreigner, and a king to boot? How undemocratic; what an offence against Equality, the new and only God.Replies: @Alden, @Not Raul
Ironically Saint King Louis was an anti slavery crusader, European slaves, Muslim slave owners. Right up to the 1980s St Louis had the grandest debutante balls in the country. And St Louis University a private college, not the University of Missouri, was very very prestigious almost up to Northwestern and Michigan Ann Arbor. Now it’s probably a black remedial school.
I’ve never been to St Louis but I’ve been to Chicago and that once glorious S Side neighborhood around the university.
Not just wonderful houses but 2 acre lots a few blocks from the subway 20 minute ride to downtown workplaces. Imagine that! there was a time when subway travel was safe , 100 years ago, I’ve been to the grand old German built neighborhoods in Milwaukee too. And now blacks are the biggest percentage in Milwaukee, 37 percent
Oakland was considered a better place to live than San Francisco because of much better weather more splendid views, bigger yards and bigger houses. Now it’s a crime ridden black ghetto that even sell armed well organized gay men can’t gentrify
I think I resent blacks driving us out of cities full of pre 1945 beautiful homes of all sizes and price range even more than I resent crime.
Can anyone think of one city over a million blacks have not destroyed? Is there even one city public school district in the country black thugs haven’t destroyed?
The puzzle is not where the wealth came from: St Louis was a power house from around 1840 till the first war at least. The puzzle is rather why was the newly rich class there so culturally sound. What was it about its members that they found and rewarded fine architects, and demanded real architectural distinction as opposed to mere lavish display? The Boston Brahmins prized discretion, and the New York grandees unashamed displays of wealth, while the St Louis rich prized distinction.
The answer I think is that so many of them were Catholic and German, like the Busch family. The Irish, ands there were many, were very significantly of a better class than those who stayed on the East Coast, particularly the Boston rabble. Their clergy were uniformly of a high standard, often born and bred in Europe, and also from good backgrounds. The French influence was more a question of respect for the past, and for the vision of a great French monarchy which had given the city its name, then any particular French presence after the city's beginnings. The families which boasted and still boast of descent from the Chouteaus, the founding family of the city, rarely themselves carry French surnames.
Whether the descendants of those families who made and once ruled St Louis still have the backbone necessary to defend it remains an open question, except for one point: they will get no help from today's decadent Church, despite brave young Fr Schumacher, because it is now in the hands of rank traitors, who hate what it was, and have thrown in their lot with the BLM madness; more, with the likes of George Soros and the Chinese Communists.

I agree that, were the two lawyers up against organized professionals willing to take casualties if the odds were right. they’d have lost.
They were in fact up against random street thugs, out for a walk in the sun and no more, an who listened to organizers. The organizers (blacksuit with the hand held transceiver) didn’t want dead people this time. One magazine is less than I’d want in that situation, but 30 rounds is a lot for an organizer who doesn’t want to risk any casualties.
So, this time, the lawyers got lucky. Fine by me.

It’s of a piece with the idea that Roman galleys were rowed by slaves: it makes not a lick of sense, since whoever’s on the oars has to be fed, as do the soldiers they’re transporting… and the slaves can’t fight at the destination.

That could get really bad. BLM DNC and the rest could send busloads of antifa and BLM to farms kill the family and declare the farm a black farm.

Plenty of blacks and liberals to attack the farmers.

They’d be afraid of the cows pigs sheep and even the chickens Imagine blacks and antifa attempting to operate the machinery in a milking barn. Cows are very placid and docile until their udders start hurting then they get real ornery. Lots of farmers have their own boars. Blacks are afraid of all animals
The article shows these riots are well organized events directed by the elite. I can’t remember any riots that went on more than about 5 days. Or any riots that invaded small towns like and suburbs like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills Ca.

St Louis ranks No. 1 for violent crime on various criteria, pretty impressive when you consider big-league competition such as Chicago and Baltimore
About 15% of the dense settlement in St. Louis is found in the core city. In that situation, the core city will consist of slum, with some agreeable enclaves here and there. You also see slum in suburban and exurban zones. East St. Louis across the border in Illinois is viperous, and Ferguson in St. Louis County is now ruined. Around Chicago, your suburban slums are found in Harvey, East Chicago, Gary, and parts of Hammond and these encompass about 15% of the slum population. About 1/3 of the whole metropolitan settlement is in the core city and about 40% of the core city consists of bad neighborhoods. In Baltimore, about 30% of the population lives in the core city and most of the core city is uninhabitable. I don't believe you have suburban slum in Baltimore. Around Washington, the slum extends over about half the District of Columbia and 2/3 of Prince George's County, with the former more dangerous than the latter.

An even better example would be the old-fashioned triangular-cross-section bayonets; it's not remotely difficult to repurpose a classic (say, one designed for a Martini-Henry) without just duct-taping it to the rail. Adapters FTW.
For normal modern bayonets, there are adapters that enable AR15s to take a standard M7 bayonet. TripleR make one for AR barrels with a lug; Bushmaster make one for ARs with no lug. I think they're heavily dependent on barrel length and FSB. Dinzag make a range for both, and ones that fit non-NATO bayonets.
Frankly, if you're using a bayonet on a longarm, you let the other guy get waaaay too close and you're almost certainly going to die. Your overwatch guys need a kick in the arse (assuming they're not dead).Replies: @Anonymous
A visible mounted bayonet can discourage rushing. If you are rushing, it can enhance your strike’s lethality. Remember to recover properly (brace removal with your foot); in some cases it is necessary to fire a round to extract the bayonet.
If you think you might be in such a close quarters situation (such as mob control), it’s best to remove the sling. People who get close enough can grab the sling, and then have as much control over the rifle / shotgun as you do.

Unfortunately, I think highly relevant and important truths are just not going to make into the arena.

Yeah, that's right a draft. Listen, arrogant woke dipshitser, if you think the problem is police racism, then you show us how the situation will turn around by serving yourself as an officer. You solve the problem by stepping up and taking responsibility.
Proposal:
(1) Standard volunteer police forces are reduced to a core of the best-scoring officers who don't have multip!e complaints. They would receive increased pay and increased ongoing training in de-escalation techniques, etc
(2)Every young person should have to spend 2 years bolstering the volunteer police, with whom they would be partnered. (Vetted to remove minor criminals, psychologically unstable, etc).
(3) Police forces would continue to be local, but the draft would be federally mandated and training would take place in federal bootcamps, after which newly trained officers would be sent to locales based on staffing needs, similar to the way doctors are sent out to needy communities. Those who wash out of bootcamp might have to serve in some other capacity, but for 3-4 years instead of two.
I'm pretty sure young people would recoil at the idea of having to do the job of police, but if the program were instituted, nobody in America would be blond anymore to the nature of criminality and disfunction in the US, which would forever change our politics for the better.

Big companies can’t stop it. They really are not that powerful, and they really are trying to pay their blackmailers with this loony support stuff. You want to know how vulnerable they are? What happened in Minneapolis? What happened in New York City during the riots? Businesses both big and small got torched and looted. They couldn’t be defended. Have businesses with CHAZ camping out on their property been able to get rid of squatters? Nope.
Companies cannot create their own laws. Companies do not have their own private armies to protect their buildings. Most buildings usually have no more than a single night watchman. Small businesses don’t even have that, just locks and bars across windows, and they can be easily broken into by anyone who doesn’t care about the cops.
The law, the mayor, the chief prosecutor, and the cops all must be on the side of the property owners for businesses to be able to defend themselves. Right now, in many US cities, only the cops are on the side of the property owners. The mayors, the prosecutors, and even the law is hampering the cops from doing their job.

A lot of people think that the 'Ys' in Heeb names (Yakov, Yoshua, Yonatan) is because Yiddish is a swamp[1] version of German, so it turns Js into Ys. Not so - even though shtetl-dwellers were illiterate and spelt shit phonetically.
Fun fact: his brother's name is Yonatan (shortened to Yoni, which hits the ear weirdly on two counts: in Hindi it means vagina; in regional aboriginal languages in Central Australia means 'rock'). I like RockVulva as a nickname.
Likewise, their sister is Avigail (V instead of B, see?).
As Gilad Atzmon explained in a very very good talk ("The Cognitive Elite of Jewish History"), a very large proportion of the population of the Pale of Settlement were as dumb as a bag of dumb rocks. The cognitive elite fled to Western Europe in the mid-1800s, and the very smartest among them integrated and largely de-Heebed. So by 1951 it made all the sense in the world for Mr and Mrs Appelbaum to name their boy Paul Stuart.
Smart Jews started re-Heebing when they sniffed the wind and got whiff of the idea that being identifiably Jewish was good for social-climbing.
So Appelbaum - a psychosophaster - strongly stamped his kids with very-identifiable Heeb names so that there was no doubt that his kids pass the halachic bar (the mother converted: they're all members of an OrthoHeeb franchise, albeit a liberal-OrthoHeeb one... WTF does that even mean?)[2]
[1] by "a swamp version of German", I don't mean a version of the language spoken by Swamp Germans (viz., Dutch).
[2] Their mother ("Dede" when she's בֵּין חֲבֵרִים) is a Connecticut white-bread with no obvious halachic (matrilinear) Jewish roots - her mother went to Emma Willard and her mother's obit reads like that of a typically high-functioning-bourgeois-Protestant. Since Dede's a member of Ramath Orah, she obviously converted before Bibi and RockVulva were born (and little Avigail's kiddies will be halachically Heeb even if she mates outside the Tribe).
'Dede' has publications - both with Hubby and without - about Jewish identitarian nonsense... oddly, the ones in JPost and Azure have been 404'd. The Azure one can be found on the Wayback Machine.
Some might find it odd to find authoritative musings on genetics where the two writers are a psychosophaster and a History major...

Nah , letter ‘Bet ” with dagesh is pronounced like B. Without dagesh , it’s pronounced like V. So the way you cited it “Binyamin (בִּנְיָמִין) ” with dagesh (dagesh is the little dot inside the ‘Bet’) it is pronounced Binyamin.
Regarding the antiquarian fixation on Emmett Till, the fact is that the 1955 lynching was by then an anomalous event. It’s become not uncommon for conservatives to recognize that police killings of unarmed blacks are extremely rare and indeed occur at a disproportionately low rate considering the incidence of black homicide and violent crime. The next step would be to admit that lynchings in the era of Jim Crow were not as prevalent as you might have assumed from the mainstream media and college history textbooks.
From “The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Volume 4: Myth, Manners, and Memory”, Charles Edward Wilson, Volume Editor, 2006:
In other words, lynchings were in steep decline decades before the Civil Rights Era. Even without a Brown v. Board of Education or Civil Rights Act, the lynching of blacks would still have ended in the South.
The total number of lynchings (of all races – the above figures include white victims) are dwarfed by the litany of genocides in the 20th century. The black power revolution in Zanzibar in January, 1964 might well have killed more people (Arabs and South Asians), than blacks were lynched in the U.S. through the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

>In other words, lynchings were in steep decline decades before the Civil Rights Era. Even without a Brown v. Board of Education or Civil Rights Act, the lynching of blacks would still have ended in the South.
Correct. The Till murder horrified people precisely because lynching was no longer the kind of spectacle you showed up with a barbecue and the kids to. The American public in the 1950s wasn’t the public of the 1990s, but it wasn’t the public of the 1910s, either. Casual racism against black people didn’t mean you wanted them barbarically murdered for whistling at the wrong woman.
What’s more: this was the age of TV. Things like Till or Bull Connor were now real-time events that you could watch live. That does make a difference. When combined with less barbaric attitudes toward blacks, it caused many whites to lose any kind of sympathy with segregationists. Then the riots and rise in urban crime came: you could see that on TV, too.
>The total number of lynchings (of all races – the above figures include white victims) are dwarfed by the litany of genocides in the 20th century. The black power revolution in Zanzibar in January, 1964 might well have killed more people (Arabs and South Asians), than blacks were lynched in the U.S. through the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Anybody who seriously puts lynching or even slavery-a system taken for granted by the overwhelming majority of human beings and civilizations in human history-in the same league as Generalplan Ost or the Holodomor or the Three Alls isn’t worth intellectually bothering with. But it doesn’t mean it wasn’t an ugly, evil blot on America’s historical record.
Mobs could do that a few times before every property worth defending had lots of armed private guards, or before the governors of each state found it very much in their interest to call out the national guard.
“Defund the police” would be more accurately rendered as “Bring back the Pinkertons.”
This story is a huge screaming warning sign.

And here I thought it was only young White women victimized by black criminals the MEN OF UNZ hated. Now you even hate and criticize a White man who did exactly what all of you have been posting and fantasizing about for decades.
And if the rioters had invaded their home and injured or killed them; we all know what the comments would have been.
“ should have had guns should have had this or that shotgun or rifle”. “ Should carry a handgun even in the house and yard. “”Keep guns in each bedroom kitchen and next to all doors. “
Then lots of advice about sniping and shooting situational awareness, military combat tactics, including blast away while they’re on the public sidewalk and be charged with murder.
This is 2 Whites, one a man not a White woman you guys hate so much who did exactly what you guys fantasize about and it’s nothing but nitpicking criticism and even about their house and yard
Maybe you all work for Soros. I’m the only pro White commenter on the site.
Off Topic. For those of you who advocate retreat to rural areas to get away from blacks here’s an article in the latest issue of communist magazine Mother Jones. “ Whites own 98% of rural land. black farmers demand their share”
That could get really bad. BLM DNC and the rest could send busloads of antifa and BLM to farms kill the family and declare the farm a black farm. Often in rural areas the nearest cop is 40 miles away. The south, Illinois Wisconsin and Minnesota would be invaded first. They have big black liberal cities and farms. Plenty of blacks and liberals to attack the farmers.
And then what, especially on a livestock farm? Hilarity would ensue. They’d be afraid of the cows pigs sheep and even the chickens Imagine blacks and antifa attempting to operate the machinery in a milking barn. Cows are very placid and docile until their udders start hurting then they get real ornery. Lots of farmers have their own boars. Blacks are afraid of all animals
The article shows these riots are well organized events directed by the elite. I can’t remember any riots that went on more than about 5 days. Or any riots that invaded small towns like and suburbs like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills Ca.
And now the communist rag Mother Jones advocates driving Whites off their farms. S Africa Zimbabwe every African country The name should be changed to Harriet Tubman or Kashima Sawant because Mother Jones was White and horror of horrors was a labor union organizer for the loathsome deplorable White working class.

They’re not cramped and uncomfortable. There’s interior walls to display art, hang your TV have a table under for the black boxes put shelves to keep the place tidy and they are much easier to keep tidy than an awkwardly proportioned space that’s supposed to be a kitchen, dining area, living room for the adults play and homework area for the kids and serves none of those functions well.
It’s much easier to train children to be tidy if there’s a front hall that doesn’t go through the awkward space but goes past a living room, dining room kitchen with walls around it directly to their rooms where they can deposit jackets backpacks homework shoes etc
And only brainwashed trailer trash proles borrow money to install $70,000 dollars worth of 20 by 15 foot kitchen in the awkward 20 by 30 space with a $300 IKEA couch and a TV. How in the world did refrigerators become a status symbol? Who eats dinner at a kitchen counter even though it has an $8,000 soapstone or even worse granite countertop? Trailer trash proles that’s who. Granite countertops as vulgar as a bar mitsvah.
Those hideous kitchens that overwhelm the awkward ugly main room are just the result of the idiot public falling for plumbing contractors and real estate agents conning the home buying public.
Rooms good. Badly proportioned awkward all purpose space bad badder worst. Interior walls good. I mean come on, how can one possible decorate an attractive living room with a kitchen in the middle of it?
Another bad floor plan is the huge master bedroom suite and tiny little kids rooms. Kids need decent size rooms for toys clothes sports equipment homework and the school projects.
You’ve probably never seen a well proportioned living room with beautiful furniture and fabrics that’s a real room that isn’t just a traffic way from front door to the rest of the house with a kitchen in the middle of it.
Stoves, sinks and refrigerators just don’t belong in the same room as beautiful furniture fabrics and art. Or even ikea and Living Spaces furniture.
Are you the person who does most of the cleaning and tidying in your house? If you are, you’d be shocked at how much faster and easier it is to keep a small kitchen with walls around it and 2 smaller rooms clean and tidy all the time than one huge multipurpose space that’s the only traffic way from the front door to the bedrooms.
Once people who’ve grown up in suburban houses with just one multipurpose main room see a real living room they know what I mean. Why do you think houses in San Francisco are so expensive compared to the suburbs? Real kitchens with walls and real properly proportioned living rooms that can be beautifully furnished.
Open plan started when a builder found he could save the cost of 3 pieces of sheet rock , 12 studs mud , tape half a day’s labor for 2 guys and make the place look bigger. So the trailer trash proles accepted it. But then since the kitchen was now part of the living room, the builders decided to vulgarize the kitchen and expand it into the living room area to the point there’s only room for a couch and TV
The trend is ending because of the need for home offices that are more than a stool at the kitchen counter and interior walls to hang the 6 ft TV screen on.
Another theory about huge kitchens that visually and physically overwhelm the main room. I think it’s these open kitchens that cause obesity. When the only way one can avoid looking at the kitchen is to in your bedroom it’s tempting to snack all day.
Whatever some people to look at their stove sink and dishwasher. I prefer to look at beautiful furniture

I believe the house is on Kingshighway near Lindell Boulevard.* The nearby stretch of Lindell between Skinker and Kingshighway, directly opposite Forest Park, is loaded with beautiful houses (and a few ugly modernist ones).

A lot of people think that the 'Ys' in Heeb names (Yakov, Yoshua, Yonatan) is because Yiddish is a swamp[1] version of German, so it turns Js into Ys. Not so - even though shtetl-dwellers were illiterate and spelt shit phonetically.

Since Dede's a member of Ramath Orah, she obviously converted before Bibi and RockVulva were born (and little Avigail's kiddies will be halachically Heeb even if she mates outside the Tribe).

I find the “Yoni” thing amusing to.
I realize in Hebrew–perhaps in semitic languages generally it must mean something else. But i’m not a Semite, America isn’t full of Semites, but people whose roots are Indo-European. There are about a billion native speakers of languages where it means something not very masculine.
(Note: i have very positive feelings about Yoni … just not something i’d name a boy.)

A Southern California man captured on camera pointing a loaded AR-15 rifle at a group of advancing protesters has been arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
Jacob Daniel Bracken, 38, of Rancho Cucamonga, faces two counts of assault with a deadly weapon related to the incident in Upland on Monday, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office said.

The cops are done. Thats been the most shocking part of this.
In the case of these particular homeowners, I would have urged them to flee. It’s clear they possess zero firearm handling skills, let alone actual gun fighting skills. They were liable to shoot each other under stress more than anyone else. Behaviors of mobs and crowds are unpredictable – they might flee and disperse at the first sound of gunfire or they might become enraged and overrun those homeowners.
If it were me, I’d have formed a small militia with my fellow homeowners, establish good overwatches, barricaded the major points of entry into the community, except a funnel into which to channel any aggressors, and establish a small reaction force with volunteers who knew at least the basics of small unit tactics to deal with those who made into the funnel. And have at least a doctor or a trauma nurse around. I wouldn’t let a mob “show up on my front lawn” in the first place. Things have gone wrong already at that point.
If I had a good intel on the size of the “protesters” and suspected they would be armed in sufficient numbers, I’d evacuate with my family long before they showed up. I like my property, but I love the lives of my wife and children much more.
So again; you live in one of the highest crime blackest cities in the country. The city government is very pro black criminals anti victim of crime anti police because most of the voters are black Crime is so bad the city allowed homeowners to create private communities with locked gates. A couple years ago the mob destroyed the nearby town of Ferguson. The Dt Floyd of the 6 felonies riots have been going on for 3 weeks all over the country.
You and wife are eating dinner. An angry crowd breaks through the locked gates gets on your front lawn screaming and threatening to break in. You have rifle and a hand gun in the house.
Tell me, where’s your militia that you haven’t created yet?
What would you do? Call the police? Or get your guns and protect your lives?
This is allegedly a conservative anti crime site. Yet every time an article appears about a black criminal and a White victim all you guys jump in like a bunch of gossipy old ladies criticizing the White victim for being outside where they could be attacked by blacks.

Homicide rates in core cities are inversely correlated with the proportion of the urban settlement the core city captures.
About 15% of the dense settlement in St. Louis is found in the core city. In that situation, the core city will consist of slum, with some agreeable enclaves here and there. You also see slum in suburban and exurban zones. East St. Louis across the border in Illinois is viperous, and Ferguson in St. Louis County is now ruined. Around Chicago, your suburban slums are found in Harvey, East Chicago, Gary, and parts of Hammond and these encompass about 15% of the slum population. About 1/3 of the whole metropolitan settlement is in the core city and about 40% of the core city consists of bad neighborhoods. In Baltimore, about 30% of the population lives in the core city and most of the core city is uninhabitable. I don’t believe you have suburban slum in Baltimore. Around Washington, the slum extends over about half the District of Columbia and 2/3 of Prince George’s County, with the former more dangerous than the latter.

US News ranks St Louis a dismal 81st out of 125 US cities on general quality of life, but again it's not clear how wide an area they include in evaluating each city. Just imagine how crappy you'd need to be to rank below St Louis.
I won't even begin to compare St. Louis to the sprawling cities like LA that grew up in the 2oth century.
Imagine say St. Louis, Denver, Dallas, Nashville, Raleigh, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Salt Lake, Seattle and San Diego cleared of minorities and serving as just a "reservation" for white gentiles. Since diversity is our strength! ... hellholes no doubt. But then minorities would be safe without dangerous whites around in Memphis, Houston, Miami, NYC, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Atlanta.
Win-win.
I can't understand why the Democrats/leftists aren't proposing this disposition to the deplorable problem.
And here I thought it was only young White women victimized by black criminals the MEN OF UNZ hated. Now you even hate and criticize a White man who did exactly what all of you have been posting and fantasizing about for decades.
And if the rioters had invaded their home and injured or killed them; we all know what the comments would have been.
“ should have had guns should have had this or that shotgun or rifle”. “ Should carry a handgun even in the house and yard. “”Keep guns in each bedroom kitchen and next to all doors. “
Then lots of advice about sniping and shooting situational awareness, military combat tactics, including blast away while they’re on the public sidewalk and be charged with murder.
This is 2 Whites, one a man not a White woman you guys hate so much who did exactly what you guys fantasize about and it’s nothing but nitpicking criticism and even about their house and yard
Maybe you all work for Soros. I’m the only pro White commenter on the site.
Off Topic. For those of you who advocate retreat to rural areas to get away from blacks here’s an article in the latest issue of communist magazine Mother Jones. “ Whites own 98% of rural land. black farmers demand their share”
That could get really bad. BLM DNC and the rest could send busloads of antifa and BLM to farms kill the family and declare the farm a black farm. Often in rural areas the nearest cop is 40 miles away. The south, Illinois Wisconsin and Minnesota would be invaded first. They have big black liberal cities and farms. Plenty of blacks and liberals to attack the farmers.
And then what, especially on a livestock farm? Hilarity would ensue. They’d be afraid of the cows pigs sheep and even the chickens Imagine blacks and antifa attempting to operate the machinery in a milking barn. Cows are very placid and docile until their udders start hurting then they get real ornery. Lots of farmers have their own boars. Blacks are afraid of all animals
The article shows these riots are well organized events directed by the elite. I can’t remember any riots that went on more than about 5 days. Or any riots that invaded small towns like and suburbs like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills Ca.
And now the communist rag Mother Jones advocates driving Whites off their farms. S Africa Zimbabwe every African country The name should be changed to Harriet Tubman or Kashima Sawant because Mother Jones was White and horror of horrors was a labor union organizer for the loathsome deplorable White working class.

This sentence is both unfactual and irrational. The words before “since” have been disproven, and the words after “since” don’t follow from the words before “since.”
The city officials are now going to investigate *them.* Some publicity stunt. Talk about over-interpreting. I like a contrarian POV – I provide many of them here. But this is not contrarian. It’s perverse.
Yup, they should have stayed in the house, using the muzzles of their weapons to break through a pair of window panes, making a swirling motion to clear enough shards to get a good firing port.
“George, you ain’t takin’ us alive!” they should have shouted.
Maybe this would have gotten the crowd to scatter and run instead of stick around and “debate”?
Better yet, the dude could have stood in the front door with the pistol to “reason” with the mob, and his wife could have taken up a “high ground” sniper position from an upstairs window?
Not the point that his versions were ‘better’ – which is moot with Jansch anyway. He snaffled the stuff without credit – and copyrighted it himself!
No denying LZ were a great band. No denying they were very bad to those they borrowed from (polite phrase). What gets me is the pettiness – they were millionaires from LZII onwards, they didn’t need the money – whereas their victims did.
You are quite correct, both as to where the house is and as to the magnificence of the Catholic cathedral. It is due to the good taste and scholarly interest of Archbishop John Glennon (one of that better sort of Irishman which St Louis was blessed with) that it was built. The old cathedral still stands, the only building not swept away in the late 1930’s to make way for what turned out to be the rather pointless Gateway Arch.
Speaking of being “swept away”: I rather fear that Glennonville and the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital will soon be forced to change their names – the archbishop was a strong opponent of racial integration in either parishes or schools. He rightly called pressure in favour of it a “Jesuit ploy”. This is exactly what it was, and has remained.
Not that those other “J’s” weren’t also at work.
For the last week or so, I've been obsessively checking my normal news outlets looking for signs that the pushback against BLM has begun. I'm starting to get worried, cause I don't see any sign of it, while I do see signs that the times are emboldening censorship of places and people that could push back. Where is any leadership?
Unfortunately, I think highly relevant and important truths are just not going to make into the arena. One thing I have seen break through, though, is the true point that the BLM movement is dishonestly representing itself, and is about much more than black lives. Three very different guests on the Joe Rogan podcast--Colion Noir (black Republican), Jocko Willink (white musclehead), and Bret Weinstein (Jewish liberal academic)--all gave varying forms of that argument. It may be the only way to critique BLM without getting cancelled, censored, or psychologically CrimeStopped.
I put this out there in hopes that you readers will think about this strategy and start posting and conversing in other forums than Unz.
The only other strategy I see right now is suggesting stuff people don't want to hear but that is consistent with BLM. For example...Replies: @Chrisnonymous, @ATBOTL
I’m worried by the lack of fight in conservatives. They seem to be reacting to the second round of BLM riots by pandering to blacks even harder and doubling down on “the Democrats are the real racists” type rhetoric, much more so than happened in 2014. Conservative media is downplaying the racial aspects of these riots and a voice like Colin Flaherty, who covers black on white crime as an ongoing story, went from being featured all over the conservative internet in 2014 to being censored. Breitbart has really pandered to blacks hard. One day early in the riots, I saw three articles on the BB front page that were pandering to blacks by trying o claim some kind of groundswell of black support for Trump. Many of these boomers seem to really believe that Trump will win reelection on a surge of black support that will tip all the swing states Red. It’s a bizarre delusion, but it has been spreading in conservative circles for several years now and seems to just keep getting bigger and crazier.
Then he had a dork from something called American Conservative on. The dork went in and on about what Republicans would do for blacks. Bring the factories back and place them in Baltimore and Detroit. More money for black schools would help the retards. More good jobs for blacks. Strengthen the black family.
FYI the factories were in Detroit and Baltimore. Baltimore had a huge port and was a major industrial business city 200 years ago. It was the blacks that drove the factories and all the other businesses away.
But American Conservative spokes dork just kept going on and in about what the Republicans should do for blacks.
I’m so sick of it All my life nothing but what Whites should do for blacks and after 60 years they’re worse than they were in 1960. And they may be just tools but they’re the leaders of a serious anti White revolution.
I think the media is hiding what’s happening. Nothing’s happened in my neighborhood but I hear sirens 5 to 10 times a day. I look on the internet and watch the 10 pm news and there’s nothing.
It’s much easier to train children to be tidy if there’s a front hall that doesn’t go through the awkward space but goes past a living room, dining room kitchen with walls around it directly to their rooms where they can deposit jackets backpacks homework shoes etc
And only brainwashed trailer trash proles borrow money to install $70,000 dollars worth of 20 by 15 foot kitchen in the awkward 20 by 30 space with a $300 IKEA couch and a TV. How in the world did refrigerators become a status symbol? Who eats dinner at a kitchen counter even though it has an $8,000 soapstone or even worse granite countertop? Trailer trash proles that’s who. Granite countertops as vulgar as a bar mitsvah.
Those hideous kitchens that overwhelm the awkward ugly main room are just the result of the idiot public falling for plumbing contractors and real estate agents conning the home buying public.
Rooms good. Badly proportioned awkward all purpose space bad badder worst. Interior walls good. I mean come on, how can one possible decorate an attractive living room with a kitchen in the middle of it?
Another bad floor plan is the huge master bedroom suite and tiny little kids rooms. Kids need decent size rooms for toys clothes sports equipment homework and the school projects.
You’ve probably never seen a well proportioned living room with beautiful furniture and fabrics that’s a real room that isn’t just a traffic way from front door to the rest of the house with a kitchen in the middle of it.
Stoves, sinks and refrigerators just don’t belong in the same room as beautiful furniture fabrics and art. Or even ikea and Living Spaces furniture.
Are you the person who does most of the cleaning and tidying in your house? If you are, you’d be shocked at how much faster and easier it is to keep a small kitchen with walls around it and 2 smaller rooms clean and tidy all the time than one huge multipurpose space that’s the only traffic way from the front door to the bedrooms.
Once people who’ve grown up in suburban houses with just one multipurpose main room see a real living room they know what I mean. Why do you think houses in San Francisco are so expensive compared to the suburbs? Real kitchens with walls and real properly proportioned living rooms that can be beautifully furnished.
Open plan started when a builder found he could save the cost of 3 pieces of sheet rock , 12 studs mud , tape half a day’s labor for 2 guys and make the place look bigger. So the trailer trash proles accepted it. But then since the kitchen was now part of the living room, the builders decided to vulgarize the kitchen and expand it into the living room area to the point there’s only room for a couch and TV
The trend is ending because of the need for home offices that are more than a stool at the kitchen counter and interior walls to hang the 6 ft TV screen on.
Another theory about huge kitchens that visually and physically overwhelm the main room. I think it’s these open kitchens that cause obesity. When the only way one can avoid looking at the kitchen is to in your bedroom it’s tempting to snack all day.

Why do you think houses in San Francisco are so expensive compared to the suburbs? Real kitchens with walls and real properly proportioned living rooms that can be beautifully furnished.
While I like old houses quite a bit, the reason houses in Frisco are so expensive has nothing at all to do with kitchen walls.
But because it has a proper floor plan and real rooms, the smaller house is actually more functional and infinitely more attractive because of the proportions. A big reason the Chinese like San Francisco so much is the 12 ft ceilings They accommodate triple instead of double bunk beds. So they can put 4 sets of triple bunk beds in a 10 by 10 bedroom and crowd 12 people in instead of 8.
I remember so many tenants. We went in they looked to the right, saw the real living room with good proportions, palladium windows and fireplace and said we’ll take it.

My impression from attending downtown fireworks displays in 1986 in Chicago and Boston is that whites are scared of blacks in Chicago and blacks are scared of whites in Boston. The idea that the intellectual part of the Boston area is dependent upon the non-intellectual part of white Boston seems pretty plausible to me.
As recently as the early aughts (and maybe even now, I don't know) it was common knowledge that no Blacks could rent in the North End. Whites could rent at below market rate compared to Back Bay, South End, etc. Italians from the neighborhood could rent at waaay below market rate although the Italian american community had the same birthrate collapse/diffusion as everybody else so there weren't a ton of young renters.
This was because of the Mafia, of course. I knew several nice cornfed young ladies from the rural midwest who were aware of the reality of the situation and were quite pro-mafia, strange as that may sound.

St. Louis is unusual in that the municipality of St. Louis is only the downtown core. The city only covers 66 square miles (vs. 234 sq. miles for Chicago, for example). Most cities in the 19th century (NYC, Philadelphia, etc.) incorporated their inner ring neighboring municipalities such as Brooklyn but St. Louis didn’t. So the suburbs begin much sooner. Wash. U. is only 7 miles from the Arch but it is already in a different municipality. Ferguson is only 10 miles. In Philadelphia when you are 7 miles from the riverfront at the center of the city you are still inside the city in almost all directions (except toward the river) and toward the northeast you can go ANOTHER 7 miles and still be inside the city.

The GOP is, unsurprisingly, AWOL. Tucker Carlson and, to a lesser degree, Laura Ingraham are pointing out the duplicity of BLM and at least hinting at what’s behind a lot this, but without the racial angle. At least Carlson isn’t going on about how much Trump has done for black America (Carlson doesn’t really seem to like Trump, and it shows). But a lot of conservatives have bought into this delusion that the black vote is in play. It’s folly. I bet Biden will get at least 90%, as virtually every Democrat has for the last sixty years. Republicans might as well campaign in Belgium to turn out the belgian vote for all the good it will do them.

+1 very accurate.
As recently as the early aughts (and maybe even now, I don’t know) it was common knowledge that no Blacks could rent in the North End. Whites could rent at below market rate compared to Back Bay, South End, etc. Italians from the neighborhood could rent at waaay below market rate although the Italian american community had the same birthrate collapse/diffusion as everybody else so there weren’t a ton of young renters.
This was because of the Mafia, of course. I knew several nice cornfed young ladies from the rural midwest who were aware of the reality of the situation and were quite pro-mafia, strange as that may sound.
Not sure if the Irish mob did something similar in their neighborhoods but I assume so.
Most Whites are basically apolitical. They just want to be left alone to make money, go shopping, watch tv, and enjoy life. They do have a vague desire to see fairness, but they have a much more urgent demand for safety and middle-class opportunity.
If local mafias could provide low-cost all-white housing in good areas, most Whites would jump at the chance. Very few people would complain. They wouldn't defend the practice, but they'd certainly take advantage of it.Yes, they did. Then in the late 80s, the Boston Housing Authority was sued for discrimination. Then they had to start bringing in Black and Puerto Rican renters to Southie projects, like Old Colony, Mary Ellen MacCormack, etc.Replies: @Twinkie
About 15% of the dense settlement in St. Louis is found in the core city. In that situation, the core city will consist of slum, with some agreeable enclaves here and there. You also see slum in suburban and exurban zones. East St. Louis across the border in Illinois is viperous, and Ferguson in St. Louis County is now ruined. Around Chicago, your suburban slums are found in Harvey, East Chicago, Gary, and parts of Hammond and these encompass about 15% of the slum population. About 1/3 of the whole metropolitan settlement is in the core city and about 40% of the core city consists of bad neighborhoods. In Baltimore, about 30% of the population lives in the core city and most of the core city is uninhabitable. I don't believe you have suburban slum in Baltimore. Around Washington, the slum extends over about half the District of Columbia and 2/3 of Prince George's County, with the former more dangerous than the latter.

From the Survival Blog link that you gave:
And here I thought it was only young White women victimized by black criminals the MEN OF UNZ hated. Now you even hate and criticize a White man who did exactly what all of you have been posting and fantasizing about for decades.
And if the rioters had invaded their home and injured or killed them; we all know what the comments would have been.
“ should have had guns should have had this or that shotgun or rifle”. “ Should carry a handgun even in the house and yard. “”Keep guns in each bedroom kitchen and next to all doors. “
Then lots of advice about sniping and shooting situational awareness, military combat tactics, including blast away while they’re on the public sidewalk and be charged with murder.
This is 2 Whites, one a man not a White woman you guys hate so much who did exactly what you guys fantasize about and it’s nothing but nitpicking criticism and even about their house and yard
Maybe you all work for Soros. I’m the only pro White commenter on the site.
Off Topic. For those of you who advocate retreat to rural areas to get away from blacks here’s an article in the latest issue of communist magazine Mother Jones. “ Whites own 98% of rural land. black farmers demand their share”
That could get really bad. BLM DNC and the rest could send busloads of antifa and BLM to farms kill the family and declare the farm a black farm. Often in rural areas the nearest cop is 40 miles away. The south, Illinois Wisconsin and Minnesota would be invaded first. They have big black liberal cities and farms. Plenty of blacks and liberals to attack the farmers.
And then what, especially on a livestock farm? Hilarity would ensue. They’d be afraid of the cows pigs sheep and even the chickens Imagine blacks and antifa attempting to operate the machinery in a milking barn. Cows are very placid and docile until their udders start hurting then they get real ornery. Lots of farmers have their own boars. Blacks are afraid of all animals
The article shows these riots are well organized events directed by the elite. I can’t remember any riots that went on more than about 5 days. Or any riots that invaded small towns like and suburbs like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills Ca.
And now the communist rag Mother Jones advocates driving Whites off their farms. S Africa Zimbabwe every African country The name should be changed to Harriet Tubman or Kashima Sawant because Mother Jones was White and horror of horrors was a labor union organizer for the loathsome deplorable White working class.

Appelbaum is also an idiot. There is no "Budweiser" family, there is the Busch family and they have been in the bad graces of beer lovers for a long time. Real Budweiser is brewed in Budweis, Bohemia (now known as České Budějovice, Czechia) with over 700 years of tradition behind it. American "Budweiser" is a much crappier beer first brewed by Adolphus Busch in 1874. That would be fine, except for later attempts by Anheuser-Busch to appropriate and use the Budweiser name worldwide and foist their swill on ignorant foreigners.

The only out of state areas in commuting distance are in Illinois (my own state), enough said. Further out in the countryside in Missouri would be a better option.
But I was thinking more of the families at the same level as the Busch's (who built this house for a son-in-law.)
These skip wholes states in their search for peace and quiet, and were generally the first to abandon their magnificent inner city mansions. A Busch descendent went so far as to buy a ranch of well over 300,000 acres in New Mexico, so desirous was he to get away from it all.
Anyone can apply for a rules change for the FCC. LE in particular doesn’t like people to have equipment that transmits on their frequencies. I remember reading an article where a ham operator used his walkie-talkie to call for help on police frequencies and the police grabbed his walkie-talkie. He had to point out that the FCC explicitly allows you to use any frequency to call for help when people’s lives are in danger. He got his equipment back.
I will also point out that “boot-licking sycophants within the ham community that pushed for this rule change” includes police. Members of law enforcement have amateur radio licenses, especially those that are involved in radio communications. Some of the knowledgeable police contribute to the police scanner community. For some, being a cop undoubtedly exceeds allowing people to have wideband RF communications gear. It’s could be a way for cops to get what they want under the subterfuge of ‘protecting my ham frequencies.’ It doesn’t even have to be cops presenting the proposal.
You probably have a more complete picture of events (which, admittedly, I did not follow closely), but it seemed to me that the distributorship (lucrative though it was) was a sop given to Jackson by Anheuser-Busch. Here is a brief account someone else has set down concerning how the AB people set about dealing with Jackson:
Based on the above, I formed the impression that the distributorship was a bone of the “you had better like what we’re giving you, because that’s all you’ll be getting out of us” sort.
It also meant that Jackson was now bound by his own financial interests to support the company, something that a quick payoff could never have achieved. When you take into account who-ultimately-did-what-to-whom, you might agree with me when I say Anheuser-Busch had some clever chaps on their payroll.
Binyamin (בִּנְיָמִין) is straight-up Heeb that was Anglicised to 'Benjamin'.
Actually... thinking about that: you have a point, since it's actually pronounced Vinyamin (Heeb has no 'B' sound, which is weird since it ends with a B).
A lot of people think that the 'Ys' in Heeb names (Yakov, Yoshua, Yonatan) is because Yiddish is a swamp[1] version of German, so it turns Js into Ys. Not so - even though shtetl-dwellers were illiterate and spelt shit phonetically.
Fun fact: his brother's name is Yonatan (shortened to Yoni, which hits the ear weirdly on two counts: in Hindi it means vagina; in regional aboriginal languages in Central Australia means 'rock'). I like RockVulva as a nickname.
Likewise, their sister is Avigail (V instead of B, see?).
As Gilad Atzmon explained in a very very good talk ("The Cognitive Elite of Jewish History"), a very large proportion of the population of the Pale of Settlement were as dumb as a bag of dumb rocks. The cognitive elite fled to Western Europe in the mid-1800s, and the very smartest among them integrated and largely de-Heebed. So by 1951 it made all the sense in the world for Mr and Mrs Appelbaum to name their boy Paul Stuart.
Smart Jews started re-Heebing when they sniffed the wind and got whiff of the idea that being identifiably Jewish was good for social-climbing.
So Appelbaum - a psychosophaster - strongly stamped his kids with very-identifiable Heeb names so that there was no doubt that his kids pass the halachic bar (the mother converted: they're all members of an OrthoHeeb franchise, albeit a liberal-OrthoHeeb one... WTF does that even mean?)[2]
[1] by "a swamp version of German", I don't mean a version of the language spoken by Swamp Germans (viz., Dutch).
[2] Their mother ("Dede" when she's בֵּין חֲבֵרִים) is a Connecticut white-bread with no obvious halachic (matrilinear) Jewish roots - her mother went to Emma Willard and her mother's obit reads like that of a typically high-functioning-bourgeois-Protestant. Since Dede's a member of Ramath Orah, she obviously converted before Bibi and RockVulva were born (and little Avigail's kiddies will be halachically Heeb even if she mates outside the Tribe).
'Dede' has publications - both with Hubby and without - about Jewish identitarian nonsense... oddly, the ones in JPost and Azure have been 404'd. The Azure one can be found on the Wayback Machine.
Some might find it odd to find authoritative musings on genetics where the two writers are a psychosophaster and a History major... I found it interesting that while generally rejecting genetics as a basis for land claims, they bent over backwards to try and paint the Ashkenazim as having a better genetic claim than the Palestinians. Pilpul.Replies: @kaganovitch, @AnotherDad, @Jack D
Whoever transliterated עִבְרִית (Ivrit, which is how you say Hebrew in Hebrew) into the English word “Hebrew” had the same confusing you do. As Kaganovitch explained, B and V are represented in Hebrew by the same letter except that if you put a dot in the middle of it, the V sound shifts to B. Whoever did it in Russian didn’t have the same confusion because in Russian the word for Jew is еврей (Yevray). B and V are closely related sounds and in many languages B is pronounced V (Russian) or vice versa (Spanish).
Of course it could be worse – (Français,French).
I really know nothing about this personally and am going entirely by what Survival Blogger said (and he sounded as if he did know what he was talking about). I assume that if this was really an LE move in disguise he would not have hesitated to say so but he pointed squarely at the Ham community and even gave what he thought were the reasons why. This seems to be of a piece with other Ham behaviors such as insisting on Morse code proficiency as a licensing requirement for decades after Morse code had any real world use, just as a way of raising the bar for the rif-raff.

I've demonstrated over the years that I care about their well-being and that I'd unhesitatingly take a bullet to protect their children as I would my own. I also taught several of the neighbors and their children shooting. My immediate neighbors trust me with their house keys and alarm codes (when they are on vacation, I bring in their packages and put them inside the house). So when I talk to them, they take me seriously.
I also maintain an excellent relationship with some of the local law enforcement officers, who often let me know of ongoing law enforcement issues in the area. They were the ones who let me know about the planned protest in my area.They were very, very lucky. And speak for yourself on bragging.Because they acted like fools and looked like complete buffoons (the wife would have smacked herself on the face with her pistol if she fired it, at minimum, and they likely would have shot each other under stress, considering that they swept each other repeatedly with the muzzles of their firearms).

While I like old houses quite a bit, the reason houses in Frisco are so expensive has nothing at all to do with kitchen walls.Replies: @Alden
Yes the floor plans good proportions etc is what makes San Francisco so expensive. One can buy a 3,000 sq ft house with a big yard and sunshine 4 miles from the San Mateo San Francisco border for less that a 1,500 sq ft house right up on the sidewalk with a tiny back yard in the city.
But because it has a proper floor plan and real rooms, the smaller house is actually more functional and infinitely more attractive because of the proportions. A big reason the Chinese like San Francisco so much is the 12 ft ceilings They accommodate triple instead of double bunk beds. So they can put 4 sets of triple bunk beds in a 10 by 10 bedroom and crowd 12 people in instead of 8.
I remember so many tenants. We went in they looked to the right, saw the real living room with good proportions, palladium windows and fireplace and said we’ll take it.

I’ve demonstrated over the years that I care about their well-being and that I’d unhesitatingly take a bullet to protect their children as I would my own.

I watched Carlson this evening. He started out well. The riots are not just riots but prelude to a real revolution. Then he spoke against affirmative action. I was shocked as conservatives never do that.
Then he had a dork from something called American Conservative on. The dork went in and on about what Republicans would do for blacks. Bring the factories back and place them in Baltimore and Detroit. More money for black schools would help the retards. More good jobs for blacks. Strengthen the black family.
FYI the factories were in Detroit and Baltimore. Baltimore had a huge port and was a major industrial business city 200 years ago. It was the blacks that drove the factories and all the other businesses away.
But American Conservative spokes dork just kept going on and in about what the Republicans should do for blacks.
I’m so sick of it All my life nothing but what Whites should do for blacks and after 60 years they’re worse than they were in 1960. And they may be just tools but they’re the leaders of a serious anti White revolution.
I think the media is hiding what’s happening. Nothing’s happened in my neighborhood but I hear sirens 5 to 10 times a day. I look on the internet and watch the 10 pm news and there’s nothing.

You are correct: the opulent suburbs have always gone in that direction.
But I was thinking more of the families at the same level as the Busch’s (who built this house for a son-in-law.)
These skip wholes states in their search for peace and quiet, and were generally the first to abandon their magnificent inner city mansions. A Busch descendent went so far as to buy a ranch of well over 300,000 acres in New Mexico, so desirous was he to get away from it all.

That’s like saying “Twinkie, what would you do if you suddenly found several armed men in your bedroom?”
It ain’t going to happen. I think ahead. I have several layers of defense any intruder has to go through (and some of those are not passive, e.g. dogs).
A mob doesn’t form spontaneously, quietly, and instantly and just materialize in front of someone’s lawn. If you wait to do something until one shows up at your front door, you didn’t prepare. Unprepared people are prey.
Go back and read my earlier comment, including the first sentence. People who are not prepared to fight back properly and effectively should flee.
Don’t confuse good luck with sound judgment and action.
I don’t get my expertise from “The American Rifleman” magazine. And person-to-person armed counters and home invasions are very different from dealing with a large group of organized aggressors.
If you weren’t so obtuse, you’d realize that I have considerable experience in this from what little I wrote and revealed (e.g. instead of simply attempting to preclude access into the area, creating a funnel into which to channel the attackers).
As recently as the early aughts (and maybe even now, I don't know) it was common knowledge that no Blacks could rent in the North End. Whites could rent at below market rate compared to Back Bay, South End, etc. Italians from the neighborhood could rent at waaay below market rate although the Italian american community had the same birthrate collapse/diffusion as everybody else so there weren't a ton of young renters.
This was because of the Mafia, of course. I knew several nice cornfed young ladies from the rural midwest who were aware of the reality of the situation and were quite pro-mafia, strange as that may sound.
Not sure if the Irish mob did something similar in their neighborhoods but I assume so.Replies: @JohnnyWalker123
You’ll find that most Whites (at least 75-85%) are quite practical about these sort of things. While most Whites are against racism in theory, they’re far more pragmatic in reality.
Most Whites are basically apolitical. They just want to be left alone to make money, go shopping, watch tv, and enjoy life. They do have a vague desire to see fairness, but they have a much more urgent demand for safety and middle-class opportunity.
If local mafias could provide low-cost all-white housing in good areas, most Whites would jump at the chance. Very few people would complain. They wouldn’t defend the practice, but they’d certainly take advantage of it.
Yes, they did. Then in the late 80s, the Boston Housing Authority was sued for discrimination. Then they had to start bringing in Black and Puerto Rican renters to Southie projects, like Old Colony, Mary Ellen MacCormack, etc.

They might been following Hollywood protocol. One of the ways (bad/lazy) script writers crank up viewer angst/tension is by making characters that they’ve gotten the audience to like/identify with, do stupid things. One of these things is for these characters to diminish the standoff advantage that a gun offers by not simply getting within arm’s length of the villains who would do them harm, but actually running to narrow that distance. Another is to break cover and move out into the open to make it easier for the villains to accurately draw a bead on them. In some ways, the old Westerns were more accurate, in the sense that characters used to shoot from behind obstacles that would at least slow down their adversaries’ bullets in the event that they found their mark, thereby reducing wound severity.
There’s a big difference between bringing and brandishing.
Families with a firearms tradition (like the middle class Michigan protestors) know the difference. Progressive lawyers in St. Louis, apparently, do not know the difference. Neither does a progressive lawyer in Delaware, Joe Biden, who recommends shooting a warning shot in the suburbs if bad guys approach.

Not just “most whites” – most people.
Many of the posters here seem to feel that Whites are uniquely afflicted by guilt and empathy, but my experience has always been that Whites are generally like people of other races. They just want to be left alone to live life, not caring much about the broader world around them.
I do think that Whites have a somewhat stronger sense of fairness and complying with rules than other races, but not to the extent that it'd ruin the quality of their own lives.
Blacks, Jews, and some White liberals will tell you that Whites are uniquely evil, racist, and hate-filled. The posters here often go to the opposite extreme, portraying Whites as being Christ-like, ready to sacrifice themselves for the good of humanity.
For whatever reason, these race-related discussions seem dominated by socially autistic people with severe neuroses.
It's always been obvious to me that Whites are, generally speaking, not that dissimilar to people of other races, especially Hispanics and Asians. Whites are basically normal people.
If White societies function in weird ways these days, it's not because Whites have a desire to sacrifice themselves for the good of humanity. It's because White societies, at the elite level, are dominated by a (((tribe))) who don't share the ethnic interests of the masses.

It’s crazy how much ordinary people take as examples depictions of violence in Hollywood.
Finding cover is nice, but even concealment is a giant improvement over being in the open. That should be obvious to all but the dimwitted, right?
In reality, even untrained people instinctively seek cover or concealment under fire. That seems to be programmed into most human beings. But therein lies the problem. Untrained people seek cover and concealment and stay there, because they confuse temporary safety with real safety that usually requires neutralization of the threat (or safe evasion/disengagement). They don’t want to expose themselves again. That’s how they die.
The basics of small unit tactics is that, whether on the attack or retreat, you need at least two elements working in tandem – one providing an overwatch/suppressive fire, the other in movement/maneuver and then switching roles (known as “bounding overwatch”). In general, you shouldn’t stay in fixed locations unless heavily fortified and supported by other elements (emplaced machine guns, indirect artillery, air support, etc. – and even then the defended positions should be mutually supported, not isolated) and are sitting on something worth risking lives. Seek cover, fire, move, and rinse and repeat… and you need at least two elements to do it in relative safety.

First of all, don’t go frog-Nazi. Just write “Jews” instead of using the silly parentheses. You are not going to be banned or look out of place.
I am likewise critical of Jews – they are disproportionately in the elite class, and they haven’t been very benevolent elites and have not displayed noblesse oblige. However, I do not think that is unique to the Jews alone.
I think the rise of so-called meritocracy has created an elite class that believes in the power of the individuals (that is to say, they) to succeed on their own and are thusly not beholden to anyone or anything. Not to tradition, not to community, and not to any shared sense of destiny. People with such an ideology are more likely to look down on their economic or academic inferiors also as moral inferiors who deserve their increasingly downtrodden lot (which in turn makes them virtue-signal even more to mask their contempt for the lower classes).
To some extent, I do think the exaggeration of the very uniquely American mythology of the “rugged individual” who conquered the wilderness led to this. Some commenters on Unz tend to blame Jews for the destruction of this shared sense of community, but I tend to think that Jews (and other cognitively high profile segments of the population) rode this particular wave than being creators of it.
That doesn’t excuse elite Jewish cultural traits or behaviors, but it also follows that simply criticizing Jews or even marginalizing them would not restore this lost sense of community either.

Israeli Jews are not American Jews, often racially, almost always psychologically…
Funny story: I once showed a blue-collar Malay guy-i.e, Muslim with less than flattering views of Jews, but based primarily on Israel rather than the USA-a video of a bunch of American college leftists at the most recent Islamophobia protest. When I mentioned that Jews tended to be over-represented at these kinds of events, he took one look at their obese or pierced pasty visages, and he told me that I had to be joking. Everybody knew that Jews were these tough soldier guys (and girls) who hated Muslims and would krav maga the crap out of you for crossing them.
“No, man, that’s just the Israelis…”
(More intellectually sophisticated foreign Muslims tend to be more aware that American Jews are a different breed from Israelis, but are unable to accept that they still aren’t connected somehow, given American’s political relationship with Israel and Jewish affluence in the United States. Surely no matter what sort of PC nonsense they spout for political advantage, in practice, they take the side of their co-religionists, right? Which, in fairness, might have been true in 1967, but hardly is the case anymore, especially amongst the young who view Israelis as vaguely Afrikaner-ish.
It’s a fascinating glimpse at how genuinely hard it is for many people from the developing world to grasp “WEIRD” notions of a world where tribe is simply a much more vicious, gossipy fashion identity.)
