DarkHorse Podcast with Douglas Murray & Bret Weinstein. via @YouTube
I wanted to comment on this podcast when I tweeted it, but didn't know how to express myself. I still don't.

I like Bret a lot & would love to be friends with him & his family. When I watch his & Heather's podcast, esp. when live, I feel as if I'm looking in on friends.
I don't feel the same warmth towards Douglas. I'd still like to be friends with him, but can't imagine us becoming close friends. I find something alienating about gay men, which makes me want to keep my distance. There is also something of the arrogant intellectual about him.
Douglas is a lot cleverer & better educated than me & most other people & clearly knows it.

And yet he & Bret seem far closer intellectually than I could be with either of them, primarily due to my views on Britain, America & Race. They would both think me something of a moron.
That's a hard cross to bear at times, knowing that those I would like to be friends with would not want to be friends with me (a short bout of feeling sorry for myself, before pulling myself together🙂).

But it is THEY, I remain convinced, who are misguided on these issues.
This reminds me of #DavidAaronovitch & #GeorgeMonbiot, both of whom I have long liked & admired for their good sense on most issues, but who despise me (have muted & blocked me) for being - in their misguided view - a RACIST.

The more I think about these quotes from #SamHarris the more they shock & disturb me.

If I were a psychotherapist & Sam my patient, I would conclude that he was suffering from a serious psychosis, which indeed, I believe he is. Only he shares it will many others.
My diagnosis is trans-generational trauma at the hands of the Nazis, who belonged to the same, White, European race as he does.

This trauma has alienated him & many other Ashkenazi Jews from their own race.

If it only affected Sam it would just be his own, personal issue.
If it only affected Jews, it would just be a Jewish issue.

The reality, however, is that it profoundly affects all the societies in which Ashkenazi Jews live, which amounts to western civilisation at large, where, owning to this trauma, Whites will soon become a racial minority.

Britain & America, like all so-called "nation states", are Orwellian constructs, based on lies, deceit & different regimes of rewards & intimidation. It is by deceitfully posing as nations that they deceive us into loving Big Brother.
They are mercenary "patron states" deceitfully posing as nations, in order to legitimise themselves, their ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse. As pseudo nations go, they are 2 of the best, thanks to their traditions of the rule of law & individual freedom.
However, Orwellian constructs, they remain, which makes them inherently unjust, inhumane & unsustainable on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, #SpaceshipEarth.

Either we quickly & radically reform them, or they - & we with them - will perish. Image

If America were a genuine nation this would make a good sense. But it's not.

America, like all so-called nation states, is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation.
What I have recognised & given expression to above is no less profound & important than #Copernicus's recognition that the Earth is not stationary at the centre of the universe, but a wandering star (a planet) which orbits the Sun, like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn.
Academics have failed to recognise this truth, which is essential for understanding society & the state, because distracted & led astray by their overreaction to the evils of Nazism.

#DavidAaronovitch believes it morally virtuous to express contempt for one's "kith & kin", as he does in the @thetimes article I'm responding to here.

Why would he feel like that?

I don't know, but suspect it is because he considers it RACIST.
I'm contemptuous of #DavidAaronovitch's contempt for his own race.

But even were he to recognise how wrong his attitude is, what could he do about it, having, like mostl British journalists, built his career on it?

I refer to RACE as the "ultimate limit of KINSHIP", but am speaking personally. It is how I FEEL. Others clearly feel differently. Some restrict kinship to immediate family, many extent it to include aunts, uncles & 1st cousins, while others extend it to include all humanity.
I believe this to be an existentially important issue, which academics in the social, political & evo-socio-biological sciences urgently need to address, because key to:

United we stand, Divided we fall.

We are hopelessly divided, which can have only one catastrophic outcome.
The nation state, which claims to unite us (as Britons, Americans, Canadians, or whatever) is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation.

As individuals, academics are well served by this Orwellian construct, & thus fail to recognise it.

There is an existential threat to our survival which I see 3 aspects to: #Ecocide, #CivilisationalSuicide & #WhiteSelfGenocide.

That we are committing ecocide is undeniable. Ask #DavidAttenborough.

The other 2 are more controversial. Most people would deny both outright.
I believe all 3 to be true, which I elaborate on in this thread:
The choice between fight or flight is instinctive, but there is no instinctive response to the threats we face. We have to think about them, which exposes us to the subconscious temptation of rationalisation & denial, which we have clearly succumbed to.
