The most popular comments from the liberal New York Times readership on my conversation with Ross Douthat illustrate my point as well as anything said in the interview itself.
It's just a bunch of people claiming that because White Americans continue to do reasonably well overall in terms of jobs/finances/status etc. that there couldn't be discrimination or racism against them.
Or other people talking about conditions in America decades or even centuries ago rather than dealing with the reality of what is going on today.
None of these people would claim that anti-Semitism doesn't exist because Jews, on average, are doing well financially and professionally.
None of these people would claim that anti-Asian racism doesn't exist because Asian Americans on average, are doing well financially and professionally.
But they think they can make this same claim about White Americans without offering any contrary evidence or disputing the evidence I offer in this interview or in my book.
And that, my friends, is a textbook example of anti-White racism.
1/ After the overwhelmingly positive response to my viral comments on Vivek Ramaswamy's post, I expanded it by pulling some relevant excerpts from my chapter on Silicon Valley in The Unprotected Class.
I think this will add some useful facts and data to a discussion that is currently a bit light on them.
2/ I also offer some additional commentary speaking to my personal experiences here and how the Tech right and MAGA/Nationalist right can find common ground.
3/ And I discuss the enormous demographic changes that immigration brought to Silicon Valley-- and its consequences.
1/ @Steve_Sailer has a post up on his Sub***ck with this powerful image from a 1973 Time cover story on Minnesota in 1973, and an almost identical gesture from the Minneapolis riots almost a half century later.
It gets to the heart of why Tim Walz is so dangerous. . .
2/ The entire piece is here, and it's brief but sobering reading.
As of today my book is available instantly on Kindle, available for immediate delivery in hardcover, and it will be available (in the next few days) in audiobook format.
You can read some of the early plaudits in the thread below.
2/ Lemkin developed the concept of genocide during World War II and, after the war, working closely with the prosecutors during the Nuremberg trials, he further refined it.
His proposals were the centerpiece of what became the United Nations Convention on Genocide.
3/ But the UN final document omitted Lemkin's concept of Cultural Genocide, after France and Britain vetoed it, concerned it might be used against them to describe some of their policies.
1/ The contrast between Bushnell's self-immolation and the most famous modern self-immolation (that of Thích Quảng Đức in South Vietnam in 1963) tells you so much about the state and status of young white left-wing men in America today.
2/ When the Buddhist monk Đức famously self-immolated he did so to to protest the violation of the rights of *his* people, the Buddhist majority of South Vietnam, from unjust discrimination and persecution by their government.
3/ By contrast, despite the severe anti-white discrimination in the U.S. Military (discussed in the "military" chapter of my forthcoming book--which a leading analyst called "probably one of the best compilations of the American military’s racist present") Bushnell is not willing to fight for himself or demand that he be treated justly by his own government.
