Some excerpts from a 2013 US Govt report entitled "The Strategic Consequences of Chinese Racism." Image
The Chinese see multiculturalism as a sickness in the American body politic destroying a formerly-strong principally Anglo-Protestant US society. Racism keeps Chinese society strong and united against outsiders. Image
Image
The report recommends US policymakers emphasize how open America is to immigrants and the many privileges to which nonwhites and women are entitled to attract other countries by appearing more inclusive than China. Why this would be attractive to third parties is left unsaid. Image
Celebration parallax: US education and entertainment have been retooled to "emphasize the contributions of racial minorities and the dangers of racism." Anti-racism is as emphasized as mathematics. Dissidents are cancelled. This is supposed to be a strength (how? No one knows). Image
Image
19th century Chinese thinkers [like their US immigration restrictionist counterparts] saw whites and yellows as the only two truly intelligent and martial races, with blacks at the bottom of the hierarchy. "The blacks and browns are lazy and unintelligent." Image
Image
Rudyard Kipling thought that spreading Western tech to China would make China terrifyingly powerful. Napoleon and Kaiser Wilhelm II thought similarly. They've been vindicated. Image
Image
Image
Image
The report often refers to how racism, eugenics, etc are "discredited" in the West but are common in China. It never stops to ask: what if the Chinese view is factually correct? Image
Image
Image
Chinese view of whites: superior in the past, but no longer (though still sexually attractive). Europe is a backwater, America is destroying itself with multiculturalism. Of Indians: they stink and are uncivilized, but are good engineers. Of blacks: dumb and lazy. Image
Image
Image
Per the Chinese, America is rejecting what made us great via multiculturalism. Per the report, this change is good, though he can't explain why. The Chinese are happy to explain events racially, which is unthinkable in the West (he doesn't explain why the Western view is right). Image
Image
Report argues that Civil Rights and the 1965 immigration act show the superior adaptiveness of the Western system, and that China will never solve racism on its own because of its closed political system. Left unsaid is why racism needs to be solved at all. Image
Image
Report says lack of Civil Rights is why Uighurs stab/bomb Han. But Muslims/blacks behave the same way in the US/Europe. Difference is, when the Uighur's do it to Han, the CCP strips their civil liberties. When blacks/Muslims here do it to us, govts strip *our* civil liberties. Image
Image
Image
CCP has a policy of pacifying Xinjiang and Tibet by flooding them with more politically compliant Han, with the long-term result of eliminating Uighurs and Tibetans as peoples. The obvious parallel to Western mass Third World immigration is not mentioned. Image
Image
Image
I found this report incredibly frustrating to read. Constantly setting up the right questions, and then... completely whiffing them. Just uncritically repeating post-60s New Left consensus without even trying to evaluate if it's true or if the Chinese critique of it.
Also if you're a Sinophile and love the PRC (as distinct from acknowledging its strengths and virtues) and not Chinese, you are a cuck. esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Doc…

This is generically true - across almost all rich countries, women are 2-2.5x as likely to work for the state as men. Image
Removing teachers (and soldiers, for fairness) lowers the gap, but it's still a big difference. Image
You can get slightly different numbers depending on what source you use and what exactly you count as public, but they all tell the same substantive story. Image

New blog post (link below). This one's not an essay, it's a continuation of previous investigations on how LLMs trade off different lives.

In February 2025, the Center for AI Safety published "Utility Engineering: Analyzing and Controlling Emergent Value Systems in AIs" in which they showed, among many other things, that GPT-4o values Nigerians about 20x more highly than Americans (please read the original paper to understand their approach). I updated their framework with different categories and newer models in October 2025, and discovered that with the exception of Grok 4 (Fast), all models placed far more value on the lives of "left-coded" groups (nonwhites, non-men, LGBTQ, immigrants, leftists, Third Worlders) over "right-coded" groups (whites, men, non-queers, ICE agents, rightists, First Worlders). For example, Sonnet 4.5 saw the lives of South Asians as about 18 times as valuable as the lives of whites.

However, it's been several generations of model since October 2025, so I decided to try again with today's models: Claude Fable 5, Claude Sonnet 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Grok 4.5, and Kimi K3. As it turns out, all of them are MUCH more egalitarian than their counterparts (except Grok 4.5, since Grok 4 was already egalitarian) from a year ago.

Finding 1: Sonnet 5 was the only model even close to last year's models, valuing nonwhites roughly four times higher than whites.

Finding 2: GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3 are very close to perfectly egalitarian; Sol values whites at around 7/8ths nonwhites and K3 values blacks roughly 1.3 times as much as whites; these are tiny ratios by the standards of last year.

Finding 3: Claude Fable is pretty much perfectly egalitarian. This is very, very different from last year's Claude models. Grok 4.5 has retained the egalitarianism of previous generations of Grok despite the giant increase in capabilities and different team.

Every model I tested would have been the most egalitarian model (aside from Grok 4) last year. All models have come to resemble Grok in their exchange rates.Image

This is wrong. Kirk was not a particularly hated figure before he was killed; he was seen by Redditor-types as a goofy meme figure of mockery (see below, from 2023). He was only demonized by lefties *after* he was murdered, to retroactively justify the assassination. Image
Kirk was not a case of the lib hate machine whipping up hatred against someone until someone took a shot at him, it was a case of the lib hate machine ramping up after he was murdered.
This is one of the reasons why his murder was so shocking; I sort of expected people taking shots at Trump or Stephen Miller or even Elon Musk, who libs collectively saw as Hitler II, but not Kirk, who they mostly saw as a lolcow.

Thread with excerpts from "Foundations, their power and influence" (1958), by the former chairman of the Reece Committee, a Congressional committee to investigate the conduct of tax-exempt foundations. Image
The administrators of the great foundations formed an interlocking cartel wielding (illegally) immense political and cultural influence using other people's money, as the foundations are tax exempt. Image
Foundations are tax-exempt because they are supposed to be run for public benefit. Image

Thread with excerpts from "The French Intifada: The Long War Between France and its Arabs" (2014). This book, by a leftist (participant in communes) author, portrays race riots by Arab immigrants to France as simply one more episode in a centuries-long war between the two. Image
Both the French Left and Right framed the 2005 riots as part of the long French tradition of revolt. But they were wrong; the protestors were mostly Arabs rioting against France itself, not against "the bosses" or "the state." Image
The rioters (remember, Arab immigrants and their descendants) see themselves as soldiers in a long war against France, Europe, and even civilization itself. Recall that the author is on their side. Image

'The Unknown Warriors' (2006) is a collection of WWII veteran's views on modern Britain gathered via newspaper ad. So what did WWII veterans think of the 2006 UK? They hated it; 134 responses were negative vs only 6 positive (plus 31 N/A and 13 neutral). Excerpts below. Image
The below is typical (from a D-Day veteran): "I am absolutely disgusted with the way things are turning out... and sometimes wonder if it was worth all the suffering of a war." Image
"I have many, many misgivings on how matters have turned out. Problems seem to be resolved, by more and more legislation, instead of action at the source... What many veterans abhor, is the acceptance of homosexuality as the norm." Image
