Guest Post by The Zman
One of the truths of life is that people tend to not notice what is happening outside of their cultural and social bubble. It’s hard to step outside of your daily life and see the big picture, as far as political and cultural stuff. We mostly surround ourselves with people who hold the same opinions and have the same interests. Those with whom we are at odds, we navigate around and they navigate around us. We avoid political talk with that left-wing friend, who still thinks Trump is hiding Boris and Natasha under his bed.
Everyone, to some degree, lives in their silo, not thinking all that much about what’s going on in the other silos, beyond how it effects their thing. It’s why most Trump supporters are not surprised to see Trump doing so well in the polls. They like their guy and his good poll numbers confirm it. On the other hand, the remnants of the alt-right, struggling with the passing of their moment, are still sure Trump is going to lose in 2020, because he has abandoned them. His strong polling does not register, as it is outside their silo.
This blinkered view of things is usually wrong, to some degree, which is why it is a good idea to take a step back when trying to understand something like the hearing on “white nationalism” in Congress yesterday. The House Judiciary Committee hearing on “Hate Crimes and the Rise of White Nationalism” was weird, even by the standards of current politics. Even the people doing clown world jokes could not have imagined a hearing where a black woman is made to be the face of white nationalism in America.
To make the thing even more bizarre, none of the people involved in this circus was actually white. There were Jews, blacks, mystery races, various sub-groups of the coalition of the ascendant, but no white guys. However you define white nationalism, the one thing everyone agrees upon is it is mostly white guys. What you are not going to see at a white nationalist gathering is a black women, who started her career as a race hustler, hoping to become the female Al Sharpton of her generation.
Of course, the people involved in the circus can be written off as not right in the head, but why would the Democratic leadership allow such a thing to happen? Regardless of what you think about the people running the Democrat party, you can’t say they are bad at the game of politics. They are very good at the game, which is how they ascended that greasy pole to leadership. Why would they allow their racial rage heads to run wild and draw attention to themselves this way? What could they gain from it?
The temptation is to answer these questions with your favorite gratuitous assertion about the official Left or the official Right. Steve Sailer has popularized the notion that these performances are part of a master strategy to keep the coalition of fringes good and angry at the dwindling white majority. White Nationalists see Candace Owens as part of larger plot to keep white Baby Boomer arfing like seals at the magic negro. Those things are plausible, but convenient answers tend to be the least likely in politics.
Another possibility is that our political class is simply consumed with rage to the point where they are defined by it. Who they are is entirely dependent upon how much they hate heritage America and native stock Americans. The circus yesterday was not the result of some clever plot, but the result of people who hate whites so much they can’t stand to be in the same room with them. Instead of actual white nationalists, they brought in a black grifter to operate as the spokesman for white nationalism.
Something Ed Dutton points out in his recent book is that in the later phases of social decline, the ruling elites will often indulge in various religious and cultural movements, hoping to restore the moral center of society. The mystery schools flourished in Late Antiquity, for example. Perhaps this weird anti-white rage we are seeing from our ruling classes is simply the public aspect of a modern mystery cult. They are play-acting at what it will be like when the prophesies come true and we are a post-white society.
It may strike the more practical minded on the Right as a bit ridiculous, but keep in mind that all rational explanations of left-wing behavior have been wrong for as long as anyone reading this has been a live. The conservative analysis of the post-war Left in America is known for its wrongness. The Buckleyites got everything about the Left wrong, which is why they failed so completely. Whatever motivates the Left to perform these morality plays, we know it is not what conservatives claim.
That’s the important take away from yesterday. It was a morality play performed for people inside the political bubble. For the same reason having a black guy play Henry V makes sense to the Left, having Candace Owens play Jared Taylor made sense. It’s not the person that matters to them. It is the role they play. Whatever practical considerations there are for staging the thing, the one big reason for it was to stoke the rage of the ruling class. It is their mystery cult and what now defines who they are as a class.

This idea of stand-ins is interesting.. scapegoats, as it were. Same thing with the Smollett case: not enough real white racist attacks, so you have to invent some.
This isn’t only a left-wing tactic, though. The Bushies whipped up Islamic terror attacks but (imo) assisted in faking them, so that we’d have to “fight Them over there”, at the same time they were bringing Them over here.
It’s a religious cult, the Faith Militant.
Most of the so-called Learned Elite, whether they are right or left, have no comprehension or understanding of the people who live in flyover country. They won’t know or understand anything about the folks living in the economically gutted and hollowed out places, until they see their fine smelling and perfectly coiffed compatriots hanging from tree limbs and lamp posts.
Will never happen.
Down votes for any unhappy narrative, to wit, yes, you are a loser. Never mind if the theory is correct. Most people who ever lived were or are losers. I don’t have room to gloat. Simple. Cold. Facts. Cucks. Aid. And. Abet. My. Destruction. And. Theirs. Look how far it’s gone and no clue why. No damn clue. I hope I am wrong, but WILL NEVER HAPPEN. See those ancient Greeks over there? See the ancient Romans over there? No, you don’t. See the ancient Chinese? Yes, you do. You buy their crap. WTF do ya think will happen to you and your line, cucks? At least you are safely ensconced in the herd as you go over the cliff, into the waiting arms of Jesus.
You guys make this so difficult, your own silo. Ha. Locus of control in the Triune Brain Model (see the eruptingmind.com webpage for backstory details on OP here). I blogged “Why They Hate You.” It’s so obvious! How can you not see? They would rather kill you and be killed by muslims than to let you live. Do you know what you are to them, you manicured sons of bitches? You are the damned perennial winners. They can’t stand the relative inferiority since animal forever. There is no greater threat than you, your traits, your smell, your culture, your skin. There is no fatter sheep than you either, and (((they))) taste you, what your forebears had. Mmmmmm. The Left is so mysterious, like women. I can’t understand them. lol You deserve losing. Afraid to think the cuckservative unthinkable. Thanks for dragging me down with your universal love. The best defense white men have is an Indian man and a black woman. Nature carries forward such viral men as these like round off error. Just kiss your ass goodbye now and admit that heaven is enough for you. Ponderous protestations. Fucking ponderous.
Z-man continues to not understand who the alt-right actually are, and fails to define who he is in contrast…The alt-right understand that nations are based on people, and that no “multicultural” society has ever lasted long…The clownshow in Congress is simply a reflection of the fact that people who reject the western civilization that was created primarily by white men simply can’t function in a sane way….
Brief observation of the congressional shit-shows makes it abundantly clear that sanity does not dwell among Democrats in general. The minorities are by and large actual living examples of the most unflattering stereotypes. The Democrat women regardless of race are flat out lying evil bitches. The ineptitude shown by the Republicans failing to deal with such people is a mystery for the ages. One could go on and on. RINOs are also the riddle wrapped in an enigma.
Fuque ’em all!

I take my Golden R to the park every day so she can run. I’m retired and I can’t verbalize the joy she gives me. Monday we’re at the park and Dance is chasing squirrels. This old cunt with the Elizabeth Warren hairdo comes up and says I should be ashamed for encouraging my dog to chase squirrels. My response was this:
“Madam. I accept that you consider me a toxic, white male. And that you consider me evil because I am white,. I will tolerate your insanity as regards me, I will accept your invective but know this. If you disturb or in any way obstruct my dog from her enjoyment as a dog, I will grab you around your tuburcular chest and then I’ll cut your miserable, wrinkly assed throat with the Buck Knife I carry in my right front pocket of my Levis”.
Squirrels, there are some squirrels left?
Love it, don’t fuck with my dogs man.
-Toxic white proud male
Fer Chrissake, sic the dog on her and let nature take its course!
The Rich and the Welfare Maggots will be helpless on their own when things go Bad. “Deplorables will laugh, the Elites and Maggots shall have us in derision”. Urbanites will try to take over the countryside. Thanks to the Environmentalist, some will die by the wild beasts of the earth (Rev 6:8). Most elites and Useful Idiots will wind up as Long Pork on some urban murderer’s or Metro-sexual’s barbecue grill. As a Southerner, we will welcome and love all who share our Conservative Values; invaders will enrich our soil.
Z dude. I think you have been unfair to Candice. Take a listen to what she said. It was a powerful slap in the face of the lunatic left communists and I am pretty sure that she won’t be invited back. You couldn’t ask for a better black woman to represent you.
The whole thing is gross. We have a ruling class because sociopaths and others bent on world domination as it were are drawn to politics like flies to a turd. Normal, sane people don’t seek out the chaos and discomfort and criticism that a life in politics can bring. Normal people are busy working at their jobs, raising a family, and maybe making it down to the ball game or racetrack once in a while. Partly this is due to the fact that “public service is a duty and resposibility” is a very muted ethic in our age. And yet we laud the Bush’s and Clintons for their “years of service”-well, we don’t, but the press sure the shit does. I’m not sure raping children and stealing and murder are public service. Sounds more like a criminal enterprise to me. And so we are almost doomed to being stuck with these maniacs, liars, thieves and murderers in “leadership” positions. Pity us. And curse them murderous bastards.
