Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey marvel at big-city lawsuits against Kia and Hyundai because their cars are too easy to steal. The hosts also discuss ADL idiocy, David Oh, Patriot Front, and the untimely death of Naima Liggon.

  1. How dare these Japanese and South Koreans trick blacks into stealing their cars!

    Damn, these Asian people are racist.

    Commercial insurance companies should require all items over $500 for sale to the US market (if absolutely impossible to bolt to concrete) to be mandatorily rigged to maim thieving niggers with a complementary manufacturer-installed onboard anti-personnel grenade. That’ll end these lawsuits, but Afro-Americans might go extinct.

    Can’t Hyundai and Kia sue the city for not preventing the theft of their cars? Surely it is the city’s responsibility to prevent the crime and not the manufacturer’s?

    The best protection against auto theft is the manual transmission.

    Here is a true breaking-into-cars situation from way back in the day. Owners of cars with high-end radios did not want them to be stolen, and did not want their window to be broken. So they removed the radio prior to leaving the car parked on the street overnight. They placed a sign on the dashboard saying. “No Radio.” Crooks responded by breaking the window and placing their own sign on the dashboard: “Get one.” I think the moral of the story is that back in the day crooks were more clever, had more of a sense of humor.

  6. Maybe we should use ‘lunchtime rowdies’ and ‘teens’ for blacks.

    Slavery in the South used lunchtime rowdies to pick cotton.

    US sports used to discriminate against teens.

    FDR redlined the lunchtime rowdies.

    MLK was a lunchtime rowdy leader.

    Jim Crow limited the rights of teens.

    Was this ever an issue in a Sundown Town?

  8. On vacation in Europe, 1996, rented a Citroën Xantia with a sunroof. Security features:
    – chip in key;
    – 4 digit code to be entered on keypad within 30 seconds or the electrical system is disabled;
    – perimeter interior electric eyes and an “X” through the middle (for sunroof) to disable car if the door was not unlocked with the key (including remote) and there is entry into the car.
    Still waiting for that to show up in North America.

    In that case forget it. Nothing would be worth losing a national treasure like our African-American population.

  10. Older Japanese(Korean too) cars are fantastic to drive, good user friendly clutch pedal and gearshift, especially Toyota. But they are ridiculously easy to break into. I sometimes lock the keys inside my 90’s Corolla.

    It’s a bit sad, Easterners are naive enough to build nice things that are just not proof against base human nature, as experienced in cosmopolitan places.

    Agreed. You know 90% or greater of blacks cannot drive one.

    at the entry level price point , the So Korean manufacturers provided security with the razor thin profit margin and price point. for example, many Hyundai models dont have spare tires — to save a few dollars and ask drivers to rely on AAA.

    cars are subject to very heavy regulation, and the USG approved them…..

    It’s a bit sad, Easterners are naive enough to build nice things that are just not proof against base human nature

    I think we underestimate how much nice things depend on good people. So many things in polite and high society are predicated on unwritten rules of honesty, courtesy and good manners, and with which without, we devolve into ugly chains, iron bars, and austere decor. Aesthetics and beauty decline, and our spirits follow.

  14. I’ll go even farther and say that the whole trend towards remote starts, keyfob sensors and ‘connected’ cars in general is simply asking for something like this to happen. Technology and comvenience creates vulnerability. One half-bright hacker can enable countless less bright opportunists…

    Thieves are lazy enough that most of them wouldn’t bother with a classic hot wire job even if they knew how. My Jeep was parked without doors or top in an unfenced ghetto-adjacent job site for a decade. The Blue Book value probably still beats any newer Kia or Hyundai, but perhaps the pesky combination of a keyed ignition and a manual transmission was enough of a deterrent.

  15. TG says:

    Certainly our growing tolerance of criminal behavior is absurd, but…

    Imagine you bought an electronic lock for your house. Suppose the lock has an easy back door that criminals know about, and the manufacturer knew this but did nothing. If someone uses this hack to open your door and rob you, of course the robber is at primary fault and cannot use the defective lock as an excuse for their crime – but you’d be unhappy with the manufacturer, yes?

    Imagine you bought a bulletproof vest. Turns out it is made of the wrong materials and won’t stop bullets, the manufacturer knew about this and did nothing. Someone shoots you, the bullet easily pierces the defective vest and you are seriously injured. Of course this does not excuse the shooter, who should be tried for deadly assault, but you wouldn’t be happy with the manufacturer, would you?

    Blaming car thefts on car makers providing inadequate security is of course madness. But does that mean that we have to put up with car makers providing inadequate security for their products?

  16. Women being raped? Blame the clothing retailers.

  17. Elon Musk is an Individually Selected Genetic Sociopath because for a desire for personal resource acquisition, he is greatly contributing to the West / World Ashkenazi Empire. He is so Genetically Sociopathic that he is still not satiated with owning 150 billion dollars; he does not want to rest until he owns all the wealth in the world and everyone else in the world is serving him through involuntary servitude; anything less than this makes him depressed, anxious, and angry. If he was actually Altruistic, he would immediately shut down all his companies and move to either Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or the possible Next Life.

    Same thing with all the European-American victims and future victims American Renaissance always talk about. European-Americans know what America and the West is all about – pure sociopathic chaos. They may or may not be aware that America and the West are controlled by the Ashkenazim (only because the ethnic Europeans handed over the entire West to the Ashkenazim during the Enlightenment), but the European-Americans either way still contribute to the functionality of the West by living and working there, instead of moving to either Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or the possible Next Life. Every European-American (as well as all the Gentiles) is now an Individually Selected Genetic Sociopaths due to 250 years of dysgenics/mutational load, see:

    Even Mormons, who are actually in a eugenic trend according to Emil Kirkegaard, just passively live in and contribute to the West / World Ashkenazi Empire without trying to form their own separate Mormon nation which they themselves control. As such, I don’t feel any sympathy anytime I hear of ethnic Europeans falling victim to crime. My first thought always is, “Why were they even living in and contributing to the West / World Ashkenazi Empire in the first place? Well, it’s because as Individually Selected Genetic Sociopaths, they just want to try their best to enjoy their recreational activities – live for the moment for the purpose of hedonism, and try their best to not get hurt or killed.

    American Renaissance may want to change their strategy a bit. Instead of just covering news, they can let European-Americans know that they have the option of moving to either Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or the possible Next Life. There is no other choice. The West is going down fast with no consequential resistance being offered collectively by the Europeans. Better get out now.

  18. I own one of the affected cars. The manufacturer sent a postcard informing me I can get it fixed for free. “Free” may mean at no added cost, but in my case it’d be:

    1. Make appointment at nearest dealer about 1 hour distant.
    2. Drive to appointment.
    3. Wait x hours until it’s repaired.
    4. Meanwhile, get pestered by salesmen trying to get me to trade in my perfectly serviceable car.
    5. Drive home.

    Anyway, long story short: I have better uses for 1/2 day of my time. Fortunately I live in a relatively low risk area, and if they steal my car, it’s insured, and I’ll give the dealer some real business.

    Jared Taylor mentioned in this edition of his radio show that barely anyone left comments in his comments section, and he asked all the listeners to make comments. So I posted the above, but as usual, it was not approved. My post was not cute enough to be accepted by American Renaissance. American Renaissance is built upon the idea of cuteness – every news covered, and every word of Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey must be cutesy. That’s how American Renaissance makes money – by appealing to extremely neurotic Gentiles who can’t handle anything that is not completely cute.

    The Africans use the phrase “Keeping It Real.” Unz Review Keeps It Real. Occidental Observer Keeps It Real. But American Renaissance does not. I used to think that the most cutesy entity in existence was the sitcom “Full House.” Take a look at the extreme level of cutesy in this show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvSMctrfb9A
    Video Link Well, American Renaissance has actually surpassed “Full House” in cuteness.

  20. Can I sue Toyota for their catalytic converters being not only easy to steal but worth stealing.

  21. @Pastit

    Neither can most Whites under 30. I guess it may be too stressful, you know all that shifting and, oh no a third pedal!
