America’s prestige has rapidly declined. The 2003 war in Iraq, the 2008 financial crisis, Edward Snowden’s exposure of the NSA’s spying program, the weaponization of the US dollar, and America’s diplomatic isolation in support of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza have chipped away at the persuasion power of Washington’s argument that it is uniquely qualified to uphold the rule of law and that it holds a universal mandate to impose its political ideology on the world.

The concept of soft power, popularized by Joseph Nye, holds that the key to American hegemony lies in its ability to inspire obedience, rather than obtain it through coercion. The popular culture, political values, and foreign policy of the United States, according to Nye, allows America to compel nations to do its bidding through seduction, rather than the traditional means of carrot (bribes) or stick (war).

Underpinning Nye’s theory is an unfalsifiable assumption that there are silent majorities of people all over the world who prefer liberal democracy, LGBT, special minority protections, feminism, multi-culturalism, and individualist economics to the pre-war “Strong Gods” of nationalism, tradition, and collectivism. The world may love iPhones and Coca Cola, but as famous Chicago Bulls fan Kim Jong Un shows, this does not always translate to an embrace of the American system.

This line of thinking has arguably blinkered American elites to the point of walking into avoidable diplomatic defeats in several theaters. The regular occurrence of “color revolutions” throughout the 1990s and 2000s could lend credence to Nye’s view, but these types of uprisings have not succeeded in recent years as America falls out of favor as a political model and nations grow more sophisticated in combating Washington’s covert influence (such as through Non-Governmental Organizations) and espionage.

The main weakness of Nye’s theory is that it does not allow for the possibility of anti-liberal ideals being attractive. During the Cold War the United States posited itself as a defender of Christian civilization and human freedom against Soviet atheism and totalitarianism with a degree of success. But since 2012, Vladimir Putin has worked to position his country as a counter to America’s fixation on sexually deviant behavior to become the global leading voice of heteronormativity and the traditional family, a position the overwhelming majority of humanity — including in Western nations — agrees with. A law recently passed forcing US embassies abroad to hide the LGBT and Black Lives Matter flags they have previously flown suggests that this type of soft power is more effective than liberal academics are comfortable admitting.

Today, nations the United States considers to be “democracies” trapped in the web of Atlanticist treaties continue to elect leaders who campaign in defense of ethnic majorities and against immigrants, promise law and order crackdowns, and purport to uphold traditional values, as seen with Recep Erdogan in Turkey, Viktor Orban in Hungary, Narendra Modi of India, Giorgia Meloni in Italy, and even the presidential election of Donald Trump in 2016. In France, Emmanuel Macron has been forced to publicly attack America’s anti-white values just to stave off challenges from figures such as Marine Le Pen, while in Germany the government is panicking over the favorable polling numbers of Alternativ Fur Deutschland. Tucker Carlson’s recent visit to Russia, where he praised their public order and grocery stores, was a massively demoralizing moment for not just American elites, but also their partners in Russia’s anti-Putin liberal opposition, who have come to rely entirely on the image of a rich and corruption-free America for recruitment. When looking at where popular momentum is both inside of the West and beyond, one must seriously question how many nations will remain committed to structures such as NATO once its military and economic power is matched or even overshadowed by adversaries such as Russia and China.

What the United States conceives as democracy has now declined globally for the 20th consecutive year. American discourse in foreign relations has become more mercenary and vicious, increasingly relying on threats of economic sanctions, military intervention or significant tradeoffs to achieve compliance. Some have observed that “globalization” is in truth Americanization, and all would agree that globalization is in rapid retreat.

Conversations critical of American hegemony have broken out of the stilted left-wing tradition to become mainstream and pragmatic, including in nations considered safe within Washington’s orbit. Among these rising voices includes adherents to liberalism, who are beginning to express opposition to the influence of Washington, California and New York in their own lands in anti-colonialist terms. English academic Angus Hanton’s new book Vassal State argues that American financiers and multi-nationals are looting Britain’s economy and have totally eroded the nation’s sovereignty. Emmanuel Todd, a Jew firmly committed to liberal ideals, has published a best-selling book, La Défaite de l’Occident, which warns France that the American order’s downfall is imminent. Esteemed American economist Michael Hudson and Norwegian academic Glenn Diesen express similar sentiments.

In other words, United States commands neither admiration or respect, leading to an increased reliance on hard power, which has the multiplier effect of increasing global resentment. The unprecedented rise of China offers a gateway to economic prosperity and technological innovation without being forced to embrace all of America’s nihilistic and unintuitive values has undermined the power of the carrot (access to powerful US dollars). As nations such as Russia and Iran meet Washington’s military threats directly and check its global ambitions, fear of the stick is fading.

The future of the world is shaping up to be one of a series of ala carte relationships, where small and medium sized nations deal with multiple powers — the USA, European Union, China, Russia, even Iran — on their own terms and according to their own interests.

Diplomacy

A major story in the shift in world affairs is the unfolding rivalry in developmental economics between the US’ International Monetary Fund and China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

The Belt and Road Initiative seeks to challenge America’s maritime trade system by creating a new “Silk Road” linking global economic exchange over land.

IMF recipients generally receive loans, at times with high interest, on the condition that they reform their political and economic systems, largely through eliminating protectionism and a program of asset privatization. Countries are often unable to pay these loans off, leading them into debt traps that allows bankers and multinationals to take advantage of the cranked open markets to snatch up privatized resources at fire sale prices or opportunistically capitalize on debt restructuring agreements. One famous victim of this debt-driven system was Argentina, whose economy was thoroughly stripped by Jewish vulture capitalist Paul Singer via the practice of predatory sovereign lending.

The BRI is distinct in that it is infrastructure-led and impersonal. Chinese banks pay Chinese firms to (usually) employ Chinese labor to build infrastructure with Chinese raw materials for poor nations. These are generally structured as joint-ventures, where recipients who cannot pay back the loans give Chinese firms control over the specific infrastructure project (ports, highways, high speed railways, etc) until generated profits pay off the investment and it is handed over.

Around 150 nations have signed up for China’s BRI, whereas the IMF currently has 35 customers.

A key selling point for the BRI is the Chinese policy of non-interference in local cultural or political affairs. The Chinese do not have any problem doing business with nations designated as pariahs by liberal institutions, such as Belarus, whose first national car plant was built by the BRI system, or Hungary, Eritrea, Iran, the Taliban’s Afghanistan and so on.

By contrast, the IMF has emerged as an institution used to impose Jewish ambitions and engage in social engineering as loan conditions that offend local values and undermine the self-interest of sovereign states. Examples abound. Last year, the IMF stated it will not loan Tunisia money until it ends its crackdown on illegal immigration and lets in African migrants. Both the IMF and World Bank, led by the local US ambassador, have threatened to pull billions of dollars in financing to Ghana over its parliament passing a law prohibiting public displays of homosexuality. In Egypt, the IMF has been dangling billions in bailout money contingent on their acceptance of Palestinians Israel wants to ethnically cleanse.

In theory, nations could deal with both China and the United States, but American diplomacy is often zero-sum. The assumption that America will always be the better deal is being tested by China’s counter-model for global development, to the benefit of once powerless nations.

Washington initially threatened popular Salvadorian president Nayib Bukele with sanctions over his now internationally lauded crime crackdown. The US, which began referring to to Bukele as the new Hugo Chavez, was thwarted when the Salvadorian leader responded to the needling by whipping the door open to China and signaling support for Russia. This turned the tables on Washington, who wound up learning to live instead of risking being told to get out. The National Library of El Salvador, an impressive modern educational facility that is the crown jewel of the Bukele government, was constructed as a token of friendship by China.

In Hungary, Washington and Brussels’ leverage also appears to be weakening. Last month, David Pressman, America’s gay Jewish ambassador to the NATO member state, gave a speech vowing to punish and bring down the popularly elected government of Viktor Orban. In his address, Pressman stated “While the Orbán government may want to wait out the United States government, the United States will certainly not wait out the Orbán administration. While Hungary waits, we will act.”

Orban has shrugged off these threats by drastically increasing his economic ties to China and Russia. Orban has enraged the pro-US faction in his parliament by supporting the expansion of a Chinese University in Hungary and signing a contract with Russia to build a nuclear power plant in the country. Other regional “outlaws,” such as Bulgaria and Slovakia, are following suit. If the economic and military benefits of being in NATO or the European Union no longer justify the relentless meddling by foreign actors, it is a matter of time before these nations exit these alliances.

Another major setback for American diplomacy is occurring in the resource rich Sahel region of Africa. Nations such as Mali and Burkina Faso have thrown out France and the US, opting instead for military support from Russia’s Wagner Group and economic partnerships with China. Chad, the last African nation that hosts a French military presence, is drifting away towards Russia and China even as the Macron government begs them to stay.

The new military government of Niger, which houses an American base with 1,000 troops, replied to arrogant US demands that they resign from power and restore the Washington asset Mohamed Bazoum by ordering US troops to leave their country country. Niger’s leadership has concluded that America is incapable of good faith negotiations and vowed to satisfy their security and economic needs through Russia and China. One foreign policy analyst summed up the ordeal as follows: “In this new multipolar world, it seems that the United States, still arguably the richest and most powerful country in the world, needs Niger, one of the world’s poorest and weakest countries, more than Niger needs it.”

In the Philippines, a former and arguably current US colony, we have also seen glimpses of defiance. Rodrigo Duterte, who was browbeat throughout his presidency by Washington and its NGOs for his own anti-crime campaign, responded to this harassment by moving to cancel the country’s Visiting Forces Agreement with the US in 2020. The Biden administration was able to salvage this military presence — a vital component in Washington’s anti-China strategy in the Pacific — by offering steep concessions and promising to back off from internal Filipino affairs. The ascension of Ferdinand Marcos Jr in 2022 was well received by Washington, under the assumption that he was steadfastly pro-US, but Marcos Jr has himself emulated some of Duterte’s assertive posture, such as by forging deeper economic and diplomatic ties with Iran.

The State Department is even struggling to control Saudi Arabia, a nation commonly perceived as a fully dependent client state of the American empire. In one instance, the Saudis refused demands from the Biden administration to increase oil production to lessen the impact of sanctions against Russia in Europe. Adding insult to injury, the Saudis have more or less informally integrated Russia into OPEC.

Perhaps the biggest blow to America’s Jewish-concocted foreign policy aspirations was the Chinese brokered peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, effectively bringing the bloody sectarian Sunni vs Shi’ite sectarian conflict that has haunted the Middle East for decades to an end. Since then, the Saudis have ended their horrific war against the Houthis in Yemen and restored diplomatic ties with the government of Bashar al-Assad, a leader it spent a decade trying to overthrow. Last week, the Saudis publicly declared that they would not allow their airspace to be used to protect Israel from Iran.

On the Palestine-Israel conflict, China and Russia have emerged as unlikely moral leaders in their strongly worded opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza, the worst atrocity of the 21st century being broadcast in real time to billions over social media. At the United Nations, the world continues to support, in virtual consensus, a ceasefire in the war, along with the recognition of Palestinian statehood. These efforts are continuously vetoed by the United States. Commentators and even US diplomats hold that America’s unconditional support for the Jewish state’s barbarism that billions are witnessing in real time over social media is a point of no return for the USA’s legitimacy as the international human rights policeman.

Liberal academics have started coming to terms with the growing view that America is a bad actor on the global stage. Some blame the Trump administration’s brash and thuggish language (calling on NATO countries to protection money, killing the families of belligerents, stealing the oil in Syria, etc) for America’s plummeting reputation, but in truth, many people around the world found Trump to be refreshingly honest when communicating what the US’ motives have been all along.

Technology

America’s reputation as the global leader in technological innovation, both in consumer products and weapons, is a vital incentive for nations on the fence about acquiescing to its interests. Life without the smartphone, the internet, or the personal computer — revolutionary American innovations unveiled and popularized at the height of Pax Americana in the 1990s and 2000s — would be unthinkable today. Nations who, for political reasons, were not allowed to access these technologies naturally fell far behind everyone else.

This is no longer true for the industries of tomorrow. The balance of power in the realm of technology has dramatically shifted in favor a sophisticated China. Last year, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute found that the US and the liberal sphere at large were trailing China in 37 of 44 crucial technological fields, which includes robotics, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology.

This growing gap is beginning to be seen in consumer products, such as the iPhone, which since its inception in 2007 has been seen as the international standard in cellphone technology.

Last year, Huawei released its Mate 60 model to compete with the new iPhone 15. The iPhone 15 was launched to mixed reviews, with consumers calling it an underwhelming cash-grab that did not add any new features. The Mate 60, on the other hand, bests the iPhone 15 on many fronts, especially the groundbreaking inclusion of the ability to make satellite calls. American manufacturers already produce satellite phones, which are big, clunky and difficult to carry, but nobody has ever incorporated this technology into a smartphone you can fit in your pocket.

The United States government has made banning the sale of Huawei products both a domestic and foreign policy objective. The challenge for the US government is that Apple is becoming less competitive than its Chinese rivals due to the American corporate titan’s preference to satiate its greed through unproductive stock buybacks at the expense of investing in research and development. The Department of Justice is trying to force Apple to innovate, but the nature of the American finance-driven economic system makes this difficult.

The geopolitical ramifications are starting to be felt. Despite using the US using threats to get Chinese smartphones banned from as many markets as possible, Apple has now officially fallen behind Huawei and associated brands in global smartphone sales. This is a setback for the US government’s surveillance capabilities due to the NSA’s reliance on backdoor access to Apple and other American phone products to spy on the world.

In the realm of electric vehicles, another theater in the technological cold war, China has far surpassed the US. Earlier this year, Chinese car manufacturer BYD — dubbed by the New York Times as the “Tesla killer”overtook Tesla as the world’s bestselling EV.

BYD’s popularity in China and beyond is driven by its budget models, which cost about a quarter of the starting price of a Tesla. BYD’s are relatively inexpensive due to their diversified approach, such as producing batteries in-house. China currently has a 22% adoption rate for electric vehicles, which is playing a role in reducing emissions and smog, while in the US the rate of EV adoption is at under 6%.

That is not to say the United States is behind everywhere. America has one-upped China by creating the first interactive AIs. This achievement, however, has been sullied by the absurd scandal of the Google Gemini bot, which was programmed to refuse any normal portrayal of white people in order to fit America’s ruling ideology.

This disease is showing symptoms in ChatGPT, the first conversational AI tool, which is programmed to block “hateful” queries on race and gender, as well as “content attempting to influence the political process.” ChatGPT will not even allow users to generate scientific research critical of transgenderism. A tool that should place the US ahead of China in the AI race is now dismissed as a propaganda tool by a substantial portion of the American people at home.

This malaise is plaguing other strategic fields where the United States has always been respected. A combination of racial hiring quotas discriminating against qualified white employees and greed-fueled corporate corner cutting has led to several high-profile technical failures of Boeing’s newest airplanes, transforming the name of the global leader in aerospace products into a source of anxiety when flying. Both anti-white racism and the “greed is good” philosophy of business are integral to Americanism, meaning that remedying this problem will be difficult, if not impossible.

Access to America’s high-tech weapons have long served as a powerful foreign policy tool, but here too America has been falling way behind due to the immense corruption and inefficiency of national arm’s manufacturers. The $1.7 trillion dollar F-35 program remains one of the biggest public spending disasters in US history. Russia’s Su-57 and China’s Chengdu J-20 match most of the F-35’s capabilities, though some would argue the J-20 is superior.

In the realm of difficult to intercept hypersonic missiles, the news is grim for the US. Iran, China, and Russia are all considered to be far ahead of the United States, having effectively tested their first missiles and in Russia’s case used them in battle, while America’s attempts at testing its version of this technology have failed.

Earlier this month, the small and heavily sanctioned nation of North Korea beat the US by successfully testing its own hypersonic missile, the Hwasong-16B. This development has provoked more questions than answers. It is widely speculated that Russia covertly transferred this technology to the North Koreans, granting them a surprising strategic edge against America’s presence in the region.

The US currently holds an arm’s exporting advantage over Russia due to the war in Ukraine, but the desire to access Russia’s cheaper yet more advanced weapon’s systems, such as the S-400 defense system, remains a major barrier preventing strategic powers like India from fully supporting Washington’s ambitions of creating an “Asian NATO.”

Culture

The proliferation of American pop culture, where Jews play an important role as tastemakers, has been an important arrow in the global hegemon’s quiver. There is no question that Levi’s jeans, rock music and McDonalds captured the imaginations of millions in the Eastern bloc during the Cold War. In 2002, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was more blunt, suggesting to the US Congress that they should work to broadcast Beverly Hills 90210 into Iran to foment discord, with Netanyahu quipping, “that’s subversive stuff!”

The popularity of American culture still retains some of its power, but it has undoubtedly waned globally.

During the 1990s, the semi-nude buxom blondes on the series Baywatch made it the most watched TV show in the world. Fast forward to 2023, and the CGI remake of The Little Mermaid starring a black woman as the titular character was a box office bomb in Disney-loving China and most of the rest of the world. Chinese reviewers had no qualms stating why they boycotted the film: they believe it is inappropriate to cast a black person to star in a European folk tale and dismissed “Western” critiques of their “racism” as stupid.

Citizens in countries with massive populations like China and India are now rejecting Hollywood films and the values they promote, choosing to watch films made domestically instead.

The grip on social media, once monopolized by Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, etc, is also weakening. The global adaptation of social media throughout the 2000s and 2010s allowed Washington’s policy makers to beam American propaganda and lifestyles into the smartphones of young people all over the world, leading to episodes such as the Arab Spring.

The use of these social media apps by American, British, and Israeli state actors and NGOs to foment chaos and organize violence was cited as the reason for banning them in nations such as Turkey, Pakistan and China, leading to accusations from the West that they were undermining the free and open internet.

Now the US government is on the defensive, working to outlaw or force the sale of one of the most popular apps in America — the Chinese-owned TikTok — due to the widespread anti-Israel sentiment allowed to flow on the platform.

Russian and Chinese owned social media platforms have grown more sophisticated while their American equivalents have stagnated, leading to the widespread domestic adaptation and increasing international use of non-American products.

Russian Pavel Durov’s free speech friendly app, Telegram, has risen to the 7th most used social media platform, while Elon Musk’s attempt to compete, Twitter, is not even in the top 10. China’s WeChat is now fifth most used, TikTok is sixth, and Weibo is 10th.

China and Russia can now answer Amazon with Ali Baba and Ozon. The Google search engine has been met with Yandex and Baidu, with Yandex being less controlled and censored than even its “free speech” American competitor DuckDuckGo.

Access to American treats, such as Starbucks and McDonalds, have also been politicized by US elites, but not always to their benefit. Sanctions led to most American brands abruptly leaving Russia in 2022, but the native replacements have become more popular than their predecessors.

In a February earnings call, McDonald’s showed anemic growth. Chief Financial Advisor Ian Borden cited the boycott by the billion strong Muslim world over its support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza as the culprit. Starbucks, which is owned by the Zionist Jew Howard Schulz, is also being run out of the Middle East for supporting Israel.

In a sense, the American homogenization of the world’s cultural and consumer preferences represents a restoration of human diversity and exclusivity. US-made products are no longer “must-haves.” In soft power terms, this means Washington policymakers will need to make peace with a world that does not automatically share all of its assumptions or preferences and adapt or die.

    Here’s a note to anyone thinking of buying an iphone.
    The iphone15 was previously found to have excessive E. coli:
    Some analysts believe that the culprit of the excessive E. coli bacteria in Apple 15 mobile phones may be the Indian factory. In order to reduce costs and avoid tariffs, Apple has moved some of its mobile phone production to India and plans to increase its share of the Indian market in the future. However, as a developing country, India still lags behind in terms of infrastructure and public health. It is reported that nearly half of the population in India do not have regular toilet facilities and use the toilet outdoors. Moreover, it is a custom in India to wipe the residual feces from the buttocks with the left hand and simply rinse the left hand with water. While this can save paper and water resources, it is also easy to cause the spread and pollution of bacteria such as E. coli.
    Therefore, it is possible that some Indian workers did not thoroughly clean their fingers after using the toilet and went directly to the assembly of the iPhone 15. In this way, the E. coli bacteria on their hands can contaminate the surface of the phone, resulting in excessive test results. Of course, this is just a theory, and there is no hard evidence. However, if this is the case, then Apple should strictly monitor and improve the hygiene management of its Indian factories to guarantee the quality and safety of its products.

  2. Another good article.
    To add, the Western mainstream media are part of Judeo-American soft power too, and they have been losing their credibility rapidly. More and more they are perceived as blatant propaganda not only in the West but all around the world.
    The complete subservience of the US and the rest of Western countries to Israel (that’s blatantly in the wrong in the ongoing genocide in Gaza and its clash with Iran, it is obvious to everyone in the world except to Western ‘Judeo-Christians’) makes the American empire look weak, cucky and pathetic, as does brain-dead Dementia Joe being the president. The US just isn’t perceived as a serious country anymore.

    Eric Striker’s article ( https://www.unz.com/estriker/the-collapse-of-the-american-empire-part-iii-diplomacy-and-soft-power/ ) is an application of Toynbee’s “Creatvie Minority” theory

    Civilizations arose in response to some set of challenges of extreme difficulty, when “creative minorities” devised solutions that reoriented their entire society. Challenges and responses were physical, as when the Sumerians exploited the intractable swamps of southern Iraq by organizing the Neolithic inhabitants into a society capable of carrying out large-scale irrigation projects; or social, as when the Catholic Church resolved the chaos of post-Roman Europe by enrolling the new Germanic kingdoms in a single religious community. When a civilization responds to challenges, it grows. When it fails to respond to a challenge, it enters its period of decline. Toynbee argued that “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” For Toynbee, civilizations were not intangible or unalterable machines but a network of social relationships within the border and therefore subject to both wise and unwise decisions they made. If leaders of the civilization did not appease or shut down the internal proletariat or muster an effective military or diplomatic defense against potential invading outside forces, it would fall.

    https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Arnold_J._Toynbee

    In this context, one could see the US, post-Civil War, as rising to the challenge of a vast and for the most part very lightly populated country by investing in and constructing a large rail network to supplant its Great Lakes shipping, and using that network to make useful (“utilize”) the lands resources, resources that had become useful only after the Industrial Revolution and the construction of the transport net. The challenge was answered during the Progressive era by a creative minority of industrialists, which replaced a largely agrarian society (with many subsistence level farmers) with a society of industrial employees and industrial investors. These “new people” mined and manufactured enough useful goods and services to raise the US standard of living above the rest of the world. Henry Ford, in particular, realized that a productive labor force was a well-paid labor force. Americans were weak on theory, but very good at applying that theory. The German invention of basic chemistry gave the US DuPont. Electricity and powered refrigeration and telephones etc. became major industries in the US.

    Then came the world war era.

    “Once I built a railroad”.

    For a time (~AD 1920-1925) US industry and agriculture was supporting Europe, and the US population, including the industrialists and investors, expanded US industry to meet the European demand. Then European rebuilt, and the US had industries/farms with no market. It took years for the US to realize that their market didn’t exist, and the bubble popped in 1929 (as the US bubble is popping now, after the 2008 realization that you can’t stay rich by selling each other houses and cost cutting/disinvesting (“stock buybacks”)). Hoover and the Fed failed to realize that their market didn’t exist, and tried to preserve firms that had less sales than costs.

    And almost everybody went bankrupt. The Progressive era came to an end.

    Video Link

    Introduction of new industries continued, but the challenge of a sparsely populated country was gone. The US was faced with the same problem as was China’s Xi: too much industry. And the US, master of the industrialized world since 1945, installed a command economy. And the remnant “creative minority” was destroyed during the 1960s. All the industrial labs output was disregarded, then the labs were shut down, and almost all subsequent advances have been merchandising or government information gathering. After WW II, the descendants of the American Revolutionaries no longer held power, which was first held by a coalition of the Southern and Eastern Europe immigrants during the Progressive Era, then (after JFK and RFK were assassinated) by the Ashkenazi, and now by the Black Coalition.

    Which brings us back to Toynbee’s theory. Once the “creative minority” has done all it can, the society that was once imitated by its neighbors (e.g. “Hellenization” in Israel) becomes imitated no longer, then becomes rejected. The Universal Peace and Prosperity of of Empire becomes burdensome taxation to support other peoples’ wars. The Imperial promise becomes a rigid framework that the base populations try to escape (e.g. adaption of Islam in N. Africa, adaption of Christianity in the Roman Empire.)

    Which is about where the US is now (2024-04).

    First the Dominant Minority attempts to hold by force—against all right and reason—a position of inherited privilege which it has ceased to merit; and then the Proletariat repays injustice with resentment, fear with hate, and violence with violence when it executes its acts of secession. Yet the whole movement ends in positive acts of creation—and this on the part of all the actors in the tragedy of disintegration. The Dominant Minority creates a universal state, the Internal Proletariat a universal church, and the External Proletariat a bevy of barbarian war-bands.

    https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Arnold_J._Toynbee

    So Eric Striker’s article has substantial theory behind it, and should be taken very seriously.

    Note that the end of a “creative minority” may not end the “universal state”. Rome carried on until AD 536 or so, and was effectively ended by the “Late Antique Little Ice Age”, being transformed into the Byzantine Empire (which claimed continuity with the Roman polity but never controlled Italy as Rome had, and which had a strictly defensive grand strategy as opposed to Rome’s largely offensive grand strategy.). The Byzantine Empire lasted almost another thousand years, until AD 1457.

    Underpinning Nye’s theory is an unfalsifiable assumption that there are silent majorities of people all over the world who prefer liberal democracy, LGBT, special minority protections, feminism, multi-culturalism, and individualist economics

    Yeah right! Nye is not so far off! His theory sounds eerily familiar to the white heritage American theory that there are silent minorities of people (who should be kept so) in countries dominated by whites who prefer liberal democracy, LGBT, special majority protections, feminism, multi-culturalism (in the form of food, clothes, music, and sexual partners), and collectivist economies that work for white people only.

    I don’t understand Striker! What’s your problem? Nye’s theory is clearly for external consumption only and is not the theory animating white dominant countries! Your problem is that you thought the Jews would assimilate (read: lose Jewishness & become white) and instead they took over your institutions and started wreaking havoc globally with their shabbos goyim in tow!

  6. Thanks for all this good news, Eric Striker.
    It is, all of it, an extended and ruinous lesson for ordinary Americans in “With Jews You Lose”. One hopes they will learn that lesson.

    Personally glad to hear that Starbucks is being “run out of the Middle East” as one who has boycotted it since learning it is an Israeli benefit scheme decades ago.
    Big LOLs on Baywatch; I spent much of the late 90s in London, where it was referred to as “Titwatch” by several of my more blunt female friends. Some of us viewed it as a group for the purpose of extended mockery, witty comments etc.

  7. No theories seem willing to take population factors in consideration.

    Gaza is such an experiment, where population, this time around, versus territory is playing out. The individual can only thrive within it’s “own” blob. Gaza in that aspect is “modern development”. Globalism is such a struggle as to what locally dominant minorities will merge in policies, in broadcasts, in defining themselves.

    In theory, nations could deal with both China and the United States, but American diplomacy is often zero-sum.

    Often? Are there any important counter-examples of US diplomacy that demonstrate ‘win-win’?

    Probably the most blatant example of US economic ‘diplomacy’ was the destruction of Nordstream in order to block Russian energy trade to Europe, in favor of US LNG.

    The miserable Olaf Scholz knows who calls the shots in his country, and was too afraid to call out the Americans over their sponsored attack. But ‘cracks’ may dictate a change even in his traitorous behavior.

    At the behest of German industrial concerns the Chancellor recently travelled to China for two reasons:

    First, to assuage and reassure them over the obnoxious Annalena Bearbock’s recent pro-US diatribes, the witch calling Xi a dictator who must be confronted and controlled (if not replaced).

    Second, a recognition that if German industry is going to survive an attack by both the Greens and the Americans, it has to partner with China, creating new mainland joint ventures and expanding the ones already in place.

  13. Great power conflicts are about economic rivalries among elites, nothing more. Nation states exist to further their interests in the first place, to marshall more effective forces to appropriate other peoples’ resources. The stories about god and country and duty and honor and “heteronomativity” are fictions calculated to appeal to the emotions, to discourage developing the ability to observe accurately and reason logically. As Plato observed so long ago, humanity’s inherent (and probably fatal) deficiency is its addiction to the irrational; we will fight to the death to preserve our right to deny reality. Today’s secular woke mob is the mirror image of the traditional ignorance and intolerance of religious fundamentalism, nothing more, and nothing more certain to also become irrelevant. Nevertheless, these illusions warm our hearts and appeal to our vanity; but reason, which demands rigorous honesty plus humility, leaves humans generally frustrated and dissatisfied.

    During the Cold War the United States posited itself as a defender of Christian civilization and human freedom against Soviet atheism and totalitarianism with a degree of success. But since 2012, Vladimir Putin has worked to position his country as a counter to America’s fixation on sexually deviant behavior to become the global leading voice of heteronormativity and the traditional family, a position the overwhelming majority of humanity — including in Western nations — agrees with.

    The golden calf hebrews, bane of Moses and the Jewish prophets and Jesus Christ and Christendom and Western Civilization, finally took full control the U.S., as they had previously taken full control of the Soviet Union. In both cases, this ZOG fifth column ran the respective nations into the ground, and led their empires of debt into war with “Islamofascitss”, Christians, Nazis, “nativists”, etc.

    These kikes had previously ruined Israel and the Jewish people, which is why Jesus called them a “nest of vipers”. These organized thieves, killers and grifters — now well-dressed keepers of the Ponzi — keep having fever dreams that they are rounded up and mass executed for their epic crimes, which is a neurotic consequence living a life of total treachury, organized crime, and deceit.

    The greedy, clever but stupid, path of least resistance goyim “elite” they buy off with their Ponzi and make complicit in their crimes start having similar fever dreams, and begin engaging in rewriting history to suit the kike narrative. Orwell called this Memory Holeing in his novel 1984, which is about “Big Brother” ZOG, supposed patron of “Little Brother” Jesus Christ (in the phony Zionist rewrite of Judaism and Christendom, done to suit ZOG’s narrative of “history” and give these kike cut-throats gravitas).

    Actually, the kike fever dream goes all the way back to when Moses took up the sword against these golden calf kikes and carved civilization out of their subhuman savagery, which they’ve resented ever since, and which for sure needs to be done again… and again and again and again until they’re all dead or reformed/reconstructed into civilized human beings.

    Your problem is that you thought the Jews would assimilate (read: lose Jewishness & become white) and instead they took over your institutions

    The Anglos who put Jews in charge didn’t believe this. Anglos are a slave race with a strong desire to serve a foreign master. After the Normans had mostly bred themselves out by intermarrying with the local Anglo population, the Anglos had to find a new foreign master to serve and they chose the Jews. They did not want Jews to assimilate because then they would lose their master-slave relationship. Instead, Anglos assimilated to Jewishness, in the role of the Jews’ slaves, as described by their chief rabbi in Israel, Ovadia Yosef: “Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat… That is why gentiles were created.” Anglos desire to be the gentiles in this Jewish schema.

    There are many, many morally repulsive, sexually deviant, physically and psychologically unhealthy, dishonest, economically and socially destructive policies enacted, or behaviors encouraged by the California legislature.

    There’s no need to invent things or exaggerate for effect. That is itself deception.

    You refer to PEDOphiles. Pedophiles are deeply disordered and dangerous people who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children, and who cannot be trusted never to act on their sick impulses. Sexual attraction to, or sexual intercourse with 16- and 17-year-olds is NOT pedophilia and has nothing to do with that malady.

    You refer to “CHILD prostitution.”
    What age person does that bring to mind for your reader?
    You know that the answer is NOT “sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds.”

    Yet the bill that was rejected in CA was not about specifically about making solicitation of “CHILD” prostitutes a felony. That should be not only a felony, but an offense that gets the offender beaten to death by protective men in the child’s family and community.

    The bill apparently is about soliciting “minors”, defined in CA as anyone under age 18.

    A man who claims that he is not powerfully sexually attracted to the bodies of 16- and 17-year-old young women, you suffer from a disorder such as homosexuality or asexuality. Or he is simply lying because of willfully unrealistic people (usually women, often bitter and older and/or less-attractive women). Only you know whether you fit the bill.

    All of us have ancestors, many within recent history (not prehistoric times or “bible” times), who married and procreated with 16- and 17-year-old women, many of whom at that point are SEVEN or EIGHT YEARS past the onset of puberty. Grow up.

    Until nearly 1900, many US States had an age of consent of TWELVE (12). Take a look at the age-of-consent laws of the European countries from whence the families of us American commentators immigrated: they also had very low consent ages. (Among other practical reasons for humanity allowing very young post-pubescent women to have sex and marry throughout history, the bulk of humanity needed reliable affordable family labor for their farms, and the bulk of people had terribly short lives.)

    I’m glad that the age has been raised, especially as the father of daughters in an increasingly coarse, predatory, godless, hedonistic society — one whose media is disproportionately controlled by sick perverse members of an inbred self-worshipping tribe out to exploit and destroy all other peoples and their children, one that worships and gives freer reign to animalistic, promiscuous, bulk rape factories known as African-“americans.”

    Our current “society” bears less and less resemblance to the societies in which a man might be allowed to take a bride who was 16 or 17, both being from families residing in the same village or small region and knowing each other’s character and history, where the man’s intentions included long-term loyalty, protection of, and provision for the young woman and their children. So for this and other reasons, it was right and prudent to greatly raise the legal age of consent for sexual intercourse.

    But your reference to “CHILD” prostitution, when discussing the legislation rejected in CA, was either ill-informed or intentionally misleading.

Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of Whites appear not being equipped with many active brain cells. When it comes to this kind of “conservatives”, we do have many such in Sweden. One finds them among the voters for Sweden Democrats/Sverigedemokraterna, the political party that in general election Anno 2010 had gained seats in the Parliament/Riksdagen. Despite having grown from 5,7 % to 21 % in the election 2022, Sweden Democrat have not gained any post in the Swedish government.

    A valid overview, I would say. But not so universal and inevitable across history and different countries and circumstances. By all measure, Russia is an economic, social, cultural, and civic values successful country-culture-civilization.

    What has made this possible? I would say in large part-post Stalin/Yeltsin-the strong cultural values, traditional society and the cohesion it creates and sustains. The Russian people are in large part Eurasian, as is Hungary, Poland, and Finland. Caucasian-Asian genetic admixtures are most often a static outcome in DNA quality or a boost overall. Moreover, this “Inside-Out” genetic condition has produced the tenacious, tough, resilient, values of perpetuation, and cultural norms and mores that lie at the heart of strength and continuation of a nation’s milieu and culture. The West never had that in the way and depth of Russia (compare the Russian Orthodox Church and its broad interwoven influence into the mainstream versus the Beggar’s Soup of Roman Catholick and Pro Test Ant; customized for back door access and control by the Talmudists and Illuminati Freemasons.

    Why are not serious “academics” and “historians”, intellectuals, etc., looking at, attempting a composite set of principles and underpinnings of what keeps Russia healthy relative to the sickness of the West. I know a good part of that already. The West’s preoccupation with its past seems to be an impediment and restriction.

    Perhaps the West has the wrong philosophical models and precepts, and intellectual inheritance that are shopworn, dulled, and obsolete.

    It is a Marine Engine Room that provides all the services for a major, modern ocean ship. It is composed of many individual components, machines, and systems, all working in concert together to produce power and movement. It is an analogue for a society. Everything must be maintained properly, repaired, overhauled, and replaced when necessary. If this is not done, problems manifest themselves, and since everything is connected and interrelated, bad effects and symptoms spread, in a cause and effect chain. When the machinery and systems are neglected for a longer term, the degradation in performance reaches a point that residual damage starts and continues. Past that point, it is much harder to restore proper functioning and takes more time and effort.

    The West is beyond dysfunctional. It is operating with significant degraded performance, at reduced capacity with frequent breakdowns AND a denial by all the parties and principles involved of the seriousness and extent of damage and marginal operation.

    In fact, the West is on track to completely suffer massive “casualty” events, multiple failures of the many components that support it. When that happens, the “lights go out”, the machinery stops, and the ship stops moving. Even more damage can occur spontaneously during a ‘black out” period.

    Most people are in denial, too scared, too unknowing (voluntarily) to understand or prepare some ACTION to at least arrest the degradation for the short term.

Feminization of the global civilization is the ruin of the world. This was the Pandoras’ box that the jew didn’t quite understand would destroy everything.

    The US got routed out of Afghanistan in the summer of 2001 and Iraq moved into the orbit of Tehran. Incorrect ideological assumptions in Beltway aeries led to disaster in the real world. And now the Beltway is doubling down on the failed approach by pushing “wokeness” and support for “marginalized vulnerable communities of whatever” worldwide.

  47. With the ongoing house cleaning happening in Hollyweird, including Diddy’s treasure trove of blackmail being seized by FBI, we can see the tables turning in real time. Influence over the influencers has come to a head, with even the Kardashian matriarch under fire as perhaps being Diddy’s boss. It’s over for the pedo-peddling elites and the Israeli jackboot on the neck of our “celebrities” is easing off.

    It doesn’t really matter anyway, since nobody worth a damn cares what celebrities have to say anymore. After the COVID fiasco pushing the jab, studios in Los Angeles folding up, and awards shows getting almost no viewership, it’s the final nail in the coffin for a dying breed of rodents.

  48. This is such tripe. To take one example:

    America’s fixation on sexually deviant behavior

    Britain’s fixation you mean, exported to America and the other Five Eyes nations. It all started in Britain and this is easily proved.

    Also, “globalization” is an old British trick dating back more than 100 years. Does Striker not know this? Does he think history began with Baywatch? Yikes.

    Unless you stop the developing, and reverse the existing, racial mess in America, fixing the things you mention won’t matter much — the US will still become, or be (depending on how pessimistic you are), a shithole — not only does ‘diversity’ cause problems, it makes every existing problem a lot more difficult to solve — all of what ails America, including Jewish money shenanigans, would be easier to fix if America still had a white supermajority, and perhaps more importantly, a racial conscience and the determination to remain a white country.

    Some must have noticed that Unz seems obsessed with the Gaza conflict — in contrast, he has published very little (if anything) on the accelerating demographic catastrophe as epitomized by what has been happening at the southern border, where third world racial flotsam has been flooding into the country by the millions — of these two goings-on, the latter is far more important to America and Americans, and should be seen that way, especially by Whites, whose descendants face a menacing future as a racial minority in the US (I imagine the vast majority of people commenting here are white).

    One possible explanation for why Unz seems uninterested in the border crisis is something few are aware of, or have noticed: he’s hostile to white racial identity, and likely indifferent to the ‘browning of America’ and the future of Whites — I pointed this out in a previous comment.

    Have you ever heard the expression ‘Perfect is the enemy of good’?

    Forget for a moment about the ‘Judeo-Christian’ nonsense — while I don’t speak French, from what I recall of his campaign, Zemmour is good on two very important questions: migration and race (the latter in the context of nationhood and national identity) — he said about as much as can be said about that in France without running afoul of their ‘inciting racial hatred’ laws — rhetorically, he’s a lot better than Marine Le Pen on those issues.

    Not long ago, even the AfD in Germany largely purged itself (see also info in English) of its more radical rightwing elements (known as Der Flügel).

    Perhaps an analogy: Jared Taylor of AmRen never ‘names the Jew’ — but he is very good on race realism, white racial identity, and trying to preserve a white majority in the US — he deserves a lot of credit for that, and for all of his work on behalf of Whites — so I have no problem ignoring the fact he never mentions the role of Jews in undermining white racial consciousness and a white majority in the US — since the emergence of a race conscious Dissident Right, there are many others who talk effectively about the JQ.

    US had it all and has shot itself in the foot. Why TPTB chose sexual weirdness as its cultural banner is perplexing

    Part of it is that homosexuals are omnipresent as a small percentage of every society, and every society is opposed to them to some degree, so they are outcasts and prone to treason. In this way, they serve as a ready-made fifth column in every country in the same way that females often do. Spies are often homosexual for similar reasons. They can infiltrate foreign homosexual social circles, and these homos are more than willing to sell out their countries to a more libertine one. All of these American-backed color revolutions use homos, females, and the male simps who follow females because these groups are all naturally treasonous.

  67. Striker’s series of articles on the Collapse of the American Empire is an attempt to collect evidence of this collapse in different areas: demography, economy, diplomacy (and soft power). The evidence is striking — apt for a Striker. So let’s say we all agree: the Evil American Empire is collapsing, will inevitably collapse. But why is it collapsing? It could be summed up like this:

    The Jew giveth and the Jew taketh away — blessed be the name of the Jew.

    The Jews were the ones that created this Empire from hell in the first place. Now they have decided to collapse it — purposefully. It’s all part of the plan, the most fiendish devilish plan concocted in the pits of hell and unfathomable for a goy who can’t even begin to comprehend it. The Jews knew full well that letting in millions of browns into a white country would undermine the very Empire that they built. They knew it from the outset and they meant to do it. Why?

    The Talmudic Mind (TM) does not think in analytical terms, in terms of reason, in terms of rationality. Think of the twisted kind of mind you need to concoct up a convoluted theory such as the Sabbatean (Sabbatai Zevi) movement’s “redemption through sin”: in other words, attempting to achieve the good through doing evil. Is there any type of logic in that? E. Michael Jones keeps saying that the Jews rejected Logos. But maybe this doesn’t capture the TM to its full sick extent. What really happens is that the Jew cannot even begin to conceive of Logos or logic: therefore, the Jew doesn’t even need to “reject” Logos outright because Logos doesn’t even enter the damn picture for the Jew — Logos is for goys.

    Analyzing the Talmudic Mind (TM) as EMJ does — “logically” — will lead to confusion and to an analytical dead end. To comprehend the TM one must think “outside the box”. The Jews’ whole existence lies outside the damn box. The Jew doesn’t even need to try to think outside the box: it is the way the Jew thinks, naturally. The Jew knows “the box” has nothing to do with his own existence: the box is for the goys. All the Jew needs to do is think and whatever pops up out of that Talmudic Mind, from the point of view of the goy, will already be way the hell outside the box. To Jews, these box “walls” don’t even exist. When the Israelis want to invade a Palestinian abode, for example, they don’t take the doors in consideration: they plow right through the damn walls, a tactic known as “Poter Shivim” or “breaching through walls” (a tactic which was elevated to theory through the development of hybrid warfare). Another simpler and perhaps even more effective tactic is to just flatten the whole damn box — like the Israelis are doing to Gaza right now.

    What all this demonstrates is that the goys, when dealing with the Jews, are not really dealing with “people”, but rather a completely alien race with its own type of brain, its own thought patterns. Talk about neurodivergence! Remember, the Talmudic Mind will always project the crimes of which it is guilty onto others: “accuse them of what you do; accuse them of being who you are”. Ok, so who do the Jews think the goys are? Animals. Cattle. Non-humans — literally the definition of “goy” in Yiddish. Thus, the Jews are accusing the goys of being who they know themselves to be: it is the Jews themselves who are the non-humans. And that is the key to understanding Jewish actions: we are not dealing with humans.

    The fact that Jews don’t think of goys as human is not merely theory but rather concrete verifiable history. What did the Jews do in the Soviet Union as soon as they achieved considerable power? They killed millions of goys. What did the Harvard Boy Jews do to Russia in the 90s? Effectively, they killed millions — again. And what will happen if the Jews gain power over the world, as is their plan? Well, then the killing capacity of the Jews will be orders of magnitude greater: instead of killing mere millions of goys, the Jews will kill billions. And that is precisely their intent.

    So now we have come full circle back to Striker’s article to try to answer the initional question: why have the Jews decided to collapse the American Empire that the Jews themselves built? The answer is rather simple, if we take the Talmudic Mind “logic” into consideration: the Jews believe that they will be able to kill many more goys — billions more — by collapsing the American Empire rather than keeping it afloat. How will this collapse aid in the killing? A giant evil monster of an empire that knows it is about to be collapsed is a dangerous beast: it will recklessly slaughter countless millions in a nuclear or bioweapon rampage as it nears the throes of its own annihilation.

    I’m familiar with the well-known saying that “Good is the enemy of Perfect”, which gives a different perspective to what it seems you are trying to say.

    Perhaps your point that an Algerian Jew who pushes the oxymoronic “Judeo-Christianity” as the basis of European culture, is a rhetorically superior figure to the wretched Marine le Pen might indeed have some validity since it would be difficult to find one worse than her.
    Though then again I could correct myself to say that looking at the spectrum of “nationalist leaders”, that they differ each from the other in only very small degrees of uselessness and worse, so one might as well have M. Zemmour. When your “nationalist leaders” are all Friends of Israel, you might as well select him.

    >“Good is the enemy of Perfect”

    There is no such expression — in any case, in the realm of real-world politics it makes no sense — it’s unreasonable to expect perfection, however that might be defined, in a party or a candidate.

    To emphasize something that should be obvious, but with you, as with many others, apparently is not: the demographic destruction of the West via migration, the loss of their homelands, is by far the most urgent question facing white people — closely related is the absurd religion of racial egalitarianism, which denies the existence of important (e.g. cognitive ability) and irremediable (rooted in genetic makeup) biological differences between the races, and leads to degradation of the quality of life for Whites forced to live with non-whites, laws against free expression (‘inciting racial hatred’) and other forms of ‘anarcho-tyranny’, etc — this issue is absolutely paramount — so the fact Zemmour is a Jew of Algerian origin, and says things like ‘Judeo-Christian’, is not a huge concern to me, considering the fact he speaks very plainly on the most important issues: migration and race (national identity).

    The AfD is still the best party on nearly every issue: migration, authoritarianism (by voting as a block against a COVID vaccine mandate, the AfD did more to defeat that proposed law than any other party), money and arms for Ukraine, taxation, etc — the list is long — considering how bad the other parties are, not supporting the AfD now makes no sense politically — in that respect, the AfD is not just another ‘lesser of two evils’ choice.

    Farage was always a one issue politician: Brexit, meaning sovereignty for Britain in all matters of law, which clearly had nothing to do with non-white migration — I never thought of him as anything other than that — I’m not English and had no strong opinion on Brexit, so I was and am neutral on Farage as a political personality — I will say this about him though: he was stupid and irresponsible not to insist on negotiating an ironclad replacement for the Dublin Regulation as a required part of any Brexit agreement with the EU — with such a treaty in place, the UK could send all the non-white migrants crossing the channel by boat back to France.

    From my studies, admittedly desultory, Jews have been the hyper-aggressive ones dismantling European-descended culture. They’ve done so while even more aggressively and, with cancel-culture, in a meaningful intimidating fashion, forbidding all criticism of both themselves and their activities with loaded expressions such as “hate speech” and “antisemitism”. As they appear to wield extreme economic and political power, the common western person’s fear of them is quite realistic and must account for some of our docility. I, for example, had one Jew warn me that I was under suspicious observation just for having mildly questioned the direction something was going. That’s just what I’ve gotten from what I’ve read and listened to. Again my “study”, if you will, has been neither systematic nor complete.

    >“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

    I know — that’s the sense in which I used it: don’t reject something good just because it isn’t perfect — the other sense is: don’t accept something that’s not perfect just because it’s good — my phrasing better fits (to me, anyway) the former, the/my intended meaning.

    Related to my statement/use of it is: ‘Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.’

    Think of it this way: there are times when you can genuinely support a party or politician — on other occasions, you sort of hold your nose and support a party or candidate because they are good enough, and clearly better than the other alternatives (you can call this a ‘lesser of two evils’ scenario if you want) — it may also be the case that you cannot, in good conscience, or on principle, support (i.e. vote for) any of them.

    Specifically here, I personally find Zemmour OK, and I do not have to hold my nose when saying so — this is because from what I know of him, he is very good on the two issues of paramount importance: migration and race (nationality and nationhood).

    I can support the AfD without reservation, even if they did disavow Der Flügel, which was done partly for legal reasons (by the way, they also effectively purged a number of milquetoast centrist cucks, perhaps most famously Jörg Meuthen).

    I have no strong opinion of Farage — I saw him give a number of good speeches lambasting the EU, but to me he seems squishy on race — and his failure to secure a replacement for the Dublin Regulation as part of Brexit is unforgivable.

    Trump is someone I could never vote for again (I did so in 2016), even as the ‘lesser of two evils’ — he has a track record as president — I saw enough.

    Specifically here, I personally find Zemmour OK, and I do not have to hold my nose when saying so — this is because from what I know of him, he is very good on the two issues of paramount importance: migration and race (nationality and nationhood).

    Zemmour describes himself as French, despite being racially Jewish, so it is incorrect to say that he is “very good” on race. If Zemmour is racially French, as he self-identifies, then it stands to reason that all other MENA people with French citizenship can also be called French by that very same standard.

    “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

    Jews running western countries cannot be called as “good’ in any way, since Jews having power is the foremost problem.

    You appear to be another person who doesn’t really understand the sentiment ‘don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.’

    From what I know (as I said, I do not speak French, and am not French), I would prefer Zemmour to any of the other leading potential candidates I know of: Macron, Le Pen, et al — because he is much better on migration and race, issues I see as by far the most important — in that regard, i.e. for that reason, I don’t care that he is (at least part) Jewish, nor that he may describe himself as French — this is clearly not the same as saying his Jewishness is what’s good about him — I compromise on that, I don’t reject him for that reason — because his views on the paramount issues of migration and race are so much better than the others, I don’t let ‘perfect be the enemy of good’ — I would prefer that it be a French man, rather than a Jew — I cannot make it any clearer than that.

    Similarly, generally I don’t like even women whose views that align with mine in politics because I don’t see women as authority figures — but I accept Alice Weidel as co-leader of the AfD — I find her, overall, to be good on the issues, and a good speaker (I speak German) — I would prefer that all the leading politicians of the AfD be men — but I’ll compromise on that because the AfD is so much better than the other parties on all the important issues.

    I don’t care that he is (at least part) Jewish

    This is all you needed to say. Like most white nationalists, you are fine with being ruled by Jews.

    Well-argued words that are hard to disagree with. If you disagree you must deny something that exists: the Talmudic Mind.

    “The Jews knew full well that letting in millions of browns into a white country would undermine the very Empire that they built. They knew it from the outset and they meant to do it. Why?”

    Of course they knew it from the outset. And now they are doing the same in Europe to destruct the nation states of Europe. Everything goes after the doctrine of the ‘creative destruction’, the doctrine of Kabbalist-talmudic mind/TM of the zionist jews.
    It’s difficult/hard to disagree with. If you disagree you must deny something that exists: the Talmudic Mind.

    “What did the Jews do in the Soviet Union as soon as they achieved considerable power? They killed millions of goys.”
    That’s the real problem of Europe to day when they are building the zionist European Union and destroy the nation states and urge Europe to war against Russia. How many Europeans are they/the talmudic and zionist jews going to kill like they kill Ukrainians now?

    The western MSM line in a nutshell. I suspect no such majorities exist anywhere.

    The British Empire was one of the major contributors to Allies’ victory in WWII, the largest war in history. Some years after this great victory, there was no Empire anymore.
    The US will have some more victories here and there, but the writing is on the wall. I don’t think there will be an American Empire by 2050.

    They should take Yellin’ Yellen to the Guolizhuang restaurant in Beijing and she can munch down on some delicious animal penis. Non-hallucinogenic, I fear., but, possibly, nostalgic.

    I thought it was MAAs, ie Minor Attracted Adults. And the even more bizarre, AAMs ie Adult Attracted Minors. Ain’t ‘Western Civilization’ grand?

    Yes, agreed, though I think that, in keeping with his hostility to White racial identity, Unz supports the browning of America.

    In fact, I’ve never seen a jew who doesn’t support the browning of the West, except for Brother Nathanael.
