I was very unhappy with the unfair and inflammatory article that the Harvard Crimson ran regarding my political associations, and they suggested I submit an op-ed in response. I provided the piece below, which they requested be trimmed for length prior to publication, which I did.

They then notified me that after further consideration, they had decided that most of my points were irrelevant or unfair and should not be published: I could only make the arguments that they themselves approved. Perhaps they felt that the effectiveness of my response might risk “confusing” some of their readers.

Several individuals have emphasized to me that outrageous character assassination based on guilt-by-association must be answered quickly, so here’s the rebuttal that the Crimson refused to publish, and you can decide for yourself if their decision was appropriate.

I appreciate that the Crimson has afforded denied me an opportunity to reply to their highly misleading article of the 14th, featuring the particularly lurid headline “Overseers Candidate Donates to ‘Quasi-White Nationalist’ Group,” and supposedly documenting my links to various rightwing extremists. Coming at the peak of alumni voting, such unfair accusations have the potential to torpedo our Free Harvard/Fair Harvard slate of Overseer candidates.

Over the last dozen years I’ve certainly provided donations to a very wide range of political groups and individuals, including leftwingers, rightwingers, and libertarians. Many of these groups are on the political fringe and espouse controversial views on all sorts of different issues. I might agree with them on some things and disagree with them on others, but frequently find their ideas a useful counterpoint to the conventional wisdom presented in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, which I spend hours closely reading every morning.

Much of the Crimson article focused on my financial support to VDare, a rightwing and very hard-core anti-immigrant webzine, with the dollars representing less than 1% of my total donations over the last decade. Since immigration issues have always been one of my main interests, I read VDare quite regularly and am on friendly terms with their staff. But as everyone knows from the hundreds of thousands of words I have published on immigration-related topics, I’ve always been one of America’s leading pro-immigrant voices, hence almost invariably on the exact opposite side from VDare. I find it odd that the Crimson article left out that significant detail, which surely would have made their account of my donation seem even more shocking and newsworthy.

Sometimes headlines may be factually correct but highly misleading. For example, back in 1994 I was a top featured speaker at the gigantic 70,000 person march in Los Angeles against Prop. 187, the largest pro-immigrant political protest in American history but boycotted by virtually every other prominent non-Latino political figure in California. As it happens, many small Communist groups participated in that rally, waving their Communist flags. So the Crimson could have run the lurid headline “Overseer Candidate Marched with the Communists in Los Angeles.” Accurate, but perhaps a bit skewed and misleading.

Similarly, the Crimson alludes to individuals supporting the assassination of police officers. The reference was to a piece I ran a couple of months ago by Bob Trivers, a brilliant evolutionary biologist but also a completely unrepentant radical militant, who had once served as the only white member of the Black Panther Party. It’s absolutely correct that he has advocated the assassination of “racist” white police officers, a view I personally do not share and one which is probably more extreme than anything VDare or any of my rightwing columnists has ever proposed. But the column was drawn from his recent book, which was widely praised by some of the world’s most prominent public intellectuals, including Richard Dawkins and Harvard’s own Steven Pinker. So perhaps the Crimson should run a headline “Richard Dawkins Praises Book Advocating the Assassination of White Police Officers.”

I reject “guilt by association” and just because I am personally friendly with various people, publish their writings, or even provide them some financial assistance, that does not necessarily mean that I endorse everything they say. For example, I very strongly disagree with Sen. Bernie Sanders on a whole host of important topics, but since on balance I like his positions much better than those of his competitors, he is my favored presidential candidate, and the only one to whom I have donated. Similarly, during the last couple of presidential elections I wrote in Ron Paul’s name at the top of the ticket, not because I agreed with him about everything, but because the other choices seemed so unsatisfactory.

I have a long record of closely associating with people of sharply different views. I am often identified as the former publisher (2006-2013) of The American Conservative (TAC), an opinion magazine that absorbed over 60% of my donations over the last decade. TAC was co-founded by Pat Buchanan and always had a strongly Buchananite stance on immigration, trade, and social issues, positions I did not share. However, I strongly supported their lonely opposition to the disastrous foreign wars of the Bush Administration, afterward continued by the Obama Administration.

Anyone who wishes to know my own views may easily examine my writings over the past twenty-five years, given that all 500,000 words are online and fully searchable. Furthermore, my most important articles are collected in a 700pp book together with a very comprehensive index. Just look in the index, read the text, and you’ll discover my opinions.

Over half my writing has dealt with matters of race, ethnicity, and social policy, including immigration, affirmative action, and bilingual education. Although often controversial, my articles have won praise from some eminent scholars and journalists, situated all across the ideological spectrum. If Crimson journalists wish to denounce me, they are free to do so, but they should focus on my own views rather than those of other people I happen to know.

 

Although the Crimson never revealed the source of their accusations, these almost exactly match the contents of a “dossier” someone forwarded to me around the same time, a file apparently prepared by some activist group and intended to cast me in an extremely unfavorable light, especially on racial issues.

I was stunned by the contents, since the Stasi-type researchers who compiled it were not only extremely malicious but also ignorant and incompetent, even getting wrong such simple factual details as the name of my webzine.

For example, they characterized my $600,000 grant to Gregory Cochran as secret, even though his University of Utah announced it at the time in a public press release, boasting that it was larger than a MacArthur Fellowship. Dr. Cochran is an extreme rightwinger, who has stubbornly disputed my own immigration writings and even banned me from his website when I demonstrated the logical flaws in his “Gay Germ” theory. However, he is also a brilliant evolutionary biologist whose Accelerationist theory is hugely important, very possibly worth a future Nobel Prize. His press release emphasized that theory, but the ignorant Stasi investigators have apparently never heard of it.

The dossier sought to tar me as a nasty “racist,” opening with mention of my supposedly sinister phrase “the End of White America.” Indeed, two of my longest and most important articles on America’s ongoing racial transformation have been “California and the End of White America” in 1999 and “Immigration, Republicans, and the End of White America” in 2011, and I would urge everyone interested in the topic to read them. The former caught the attention of CBS News, which invited me to discuss my ideas on their morning show, available on YouTube for anyone for anyone who wants a taste of my views without reading 20,000 words of text.

Video Link

In another particularly egregious case, the Stasi researchers claimed that I had endorsed a particular “white nationalist” political strategy although one of my aforementioned articles had actually totally debunked that theory. Since my article was 12,000 words long and the Stasi agents so lazy, I can understand why they never bothered reading what I actually wrote.

Finally, here’s a last, telling point. As I’ve said, the entire corpus of my writings of the last 25 years is conveniently available on the web in fully searchable form. Yet although the Stasi researchers exhaustively worked to portray my racial views in an extremely negative light, they did not include a single sentence of my own in their malicious dossier. So if they failed to find a single “incriminating” sentence anywhere among my 500,000 words of articles and columns, what does that indicate about the accuracy of their conclusions?

    In other words, had you generally agreed with VDare on immigration, you’re kinda-sorta conceding that you’d be beyond the pale of acceptable/allowable public discourse and unworthy of a voice in your own government; thus, any measures taken to prevent you from ever attaining that voice would not only be legal but just, and represent the highest standards of a modern democracy.

    Mr Unz, I’m grateful for your website and your catholic breadth of tolerance, but I’m not sure if you grasp what a godawful thing the utter and unquestioned supremacy of the cultural Marxists in public life truly is; how they now stride in unison with the provocative swagger of the bully who knows any confrontation he might face will be pre-fixed to his insurmountable advantage.

    You’re about to find out, though: they’re going to hammer hammer hammer away at this one ideological gravy stain on the bib of your life and turn this election – your role in it, at least – into a one-issue referendum. If you have any testimonials to your character from rappers, or Mexicans – or Mexican rappers! – have them ready at hand, and utilize them often.

    And good luck!

    PC is okay with a range of controversial ideas as long as they lean to the ‘left’.

    If the ideas begin to lean right of Conservatism Inc, it’s no longer controversial. It’s just plain evil.

    This isn’t in defense of the Crimson, but the article didn’t seem like much of a smear since much worse has been written about other individuals in other outlets.

    It wasn’t Salon or Gawker-style smear that is so prevalent in today’s media.

  9. quamuri says:

    Mr. Unz, thank you for being so tireless in bringing truth and justice to Harvard. The ferociousness of their attacks on you is a sign of how well you are doing! Do you have any measure of your chances?

    Bringing up your old comments on the “Gay Germ”, you say:

    Since prostitutes might have hundreds of times as many sexual partners each year as married women, the gains to the transmission-vector of such a sterility-inducing STD would be absolutely enormous, providing exactly the sort of powerful selective pressure able to balance that operating on the host population. Thus, such a “Divorce Germ” makes perfect evolutionary sense in the way a Gay Germ seemingly does not.

    Don’t you see that if “Chlamydia victims have hundreds of times as many sexual partners each year” is a good selective pressure for chlamydia to cause sterility, then “[Unidentified gay germ] victims have hundreds of times as many sexual partners each year” is a good selective pressure for the gay germ to cause homosexuality?

    I’m just amazed at how many seemingly intelligent people like to wrap themselves around our First Amendment right to free speech when it comes to their own words but are so ready to deny it to others whose views they disagree with. That tells me that they have no idea how free speech is supposed to work. As far as I am concerned, Mr. Unz, you can post whatever you want on unz.com, and I wouldn’t raise a complaint.

    The point of concern here is surely not to do with free speech or the First Amendment, but rather the hypocrisy of claiming to offer a “right of reply” (which is generally regarded as basic fair play these days) and then hypocritically withdrawing that offer when they don’t like the content of said reply (because it makes them look like the dirty smear-mongers they undoubtedly are).

    If they’d just said “we don’t care what Unz thinks, we are entitled to write what we want and we aren’t going to let him reply in our newspaper”, that would at least have been honest. And they’d have been rightly condemned for adopting that stance. That, of course, is why they try to pretend they offer a right of reply.

    I watched about half an hour of the video Ron embedded in the thread. Maybe he’s mentioned this elsewhere, but I’m curious as to what he believes the consequences will be to higher education elsewhere. Obviously, all Ivy League schools would be able to handle a transition to a free tuition system. Public institutions could also follow along and subsidize education completely.

    I’m wondering however, would this just mean all private institutions that do primarily run on tuition would die out? This would mean, except for some very prestigious institutions, a greater percentage of colleges would be public. A question I would ask, considering the worries of Jonathan Haidt over the significant and damaging affects of progressive conformity at colleges nationwide, would increasing the proportion of public to private colleges help or hurt intellectual diversity? I believe it make a bad situation significantly worse. You would likely lose smaller private colleges which provide some alternatives for parents who would like their children to have an education not dominated by progressives. Being the political maverick that Ron is, I’m curious about his views on conformity in education and how and if smaller private institutions would survive a transition to free or mostly free higher education (if he’s posted on this topic elsewhere, let me know).

    Well, the Crimson has now published a drastically reduced version of my piece as a letter to the editor. I guess they’re willing to allow me to (somewhat) defend myself, just so long as they exclude my strongest points and all the arguments that make them look ridiculous:

    http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2016/4/18/unz-letter-contributions/

    To the editor:

    A Crimson article published April 14 sought to establish my links with various right-wing extremists under the lurid headline “Overseers Candidate Donates to ‘Quasi-White Nationalist’ Group.” I feel that the information in the article lacked sufficient context and was thus misleading. Coming at the peak of alumni voting, this reporting risks torpedoing our Free Harvard/Fair Harvard slate of Overseer candidates.

I might agree with them on some things and disagree with them on others, but their writing usefully supplements the conventional wisdom presented in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, which I spend hours closely reading every morning.

  19. quamuri says:

    It’s really quite out of character for them to refuse . When I was a crimed and published a piece that put a nasty saber-rattling piece of legislation in bad light, it attracted some media attention, so they gave an establishment conservative a full Op-Ed article to rebut it, and subjected me to an internal inquisition. But there were no errors of fact or emphasis in my piece: simply a case for the law, and a case against it. By those standards, they should retract their smears against you and publish your full refutation.

    In retrospect, I suppose the problem with what I wrote was that the law was supported by the Israel Lobby, and a fortiori by a solid majority of the newsroom. I was fairly naive about such things at the time.

  20. Harvard has an axe to grind. I don’t see anything wrong with entertaining different points of view. The Harvard Crimson could use some openness to experience. A ivy league institution shouldn’t wallow in ignorance. Thy didn’t publish the response because it didn’t conform to their rigid beliefs and agenda. I think they have a ready made role for you and they didn’t know what to do when you didn’t conform to it besides deny you a platform to respond to their libel.

    Hi Ron. I liked your TV interview. I’m also glad you gently ‘outed’ Ms. Sanchez for having an Anglo husband but keeping her Hispanic maiden name (not that there’s anything terribly wrong with that choice). But it does seem that it might be a bit political on her part.

    I believe that race and ethnicity will play a big and not-necessarily-pleasant role in American life for many decades (centuries?) to come. This is why the push for more ‘diversity’ in America is, for this white American, undesirable.

    I think that you’re being somewhat naive about that process called ‘assimilation’. The term was originally used to describe the coming together in America of various white ethnic groups. This idea was never really applied to black Africans. All we whites could say with any certainty (up until the modern era) was that blacks deserve the same freedom and opportunities as whites do. Nothing more. Modern racial integration was a top-down revolution, invented by legal activists and sympathetic judges.

    The challenges going forward in America are far greater now than ever before since our ‘diversity’ is arriving faster than ever. It is also broader. Let’s agree that we all need to speak the same language.

    Unfortunately, even this primary goal has not been achieved. America as a cohesive nation with one language and one national identity is virtually gone. Y Pluribus Unum? I don’t think so, Ron.

    As for assimilation, some groups are nearly impossible to ‘assimilate’. They will forever be a nuisance and a burden. Those in the racial/genetic underclass will also endure unhappy lives in America. I see no way around this predicament in a free society. Appearance, intelligence, personality and behavior matter. Always have. Always will. This inescapable fact does not present a very pretty picture for some groups going forward.

    Why we European-derived Americans should choose (or not resist) a future of increasing racial diversity (and tension) within our borders seems culturally and genetically self-destructive. That is why I, along with most Californians, supported Prop 187. Were we wrong to do so?

    Smart, homogeneous societies like China and Japan would never allow their cohesion and character to be sacrificed on the alter of diversity. Their domestic trust, tranquility and unity would be lost forever. For them, this is not hard to understand.

    Another shortcoming of the assimilation argument stems from the obvious fact that some races (and ethnicities) will always be favored over others. Why shouldn’t America want to keep this fact in mind as we manage (or is it too late for that?) our demographic future? No one says.

    Anyway, Ron, thank you for providing us (and the world) this outstanding forum. Free Speech is priceless. And you have attracted to your site an outstanding array of intellectual talent.

This is an easy one. As they say, who … whom?

    We had a phrase in the military for Harvard’s current organizational malaise. We called them “self-licking ice cream cones”, defined as organizations whose sole missions are to perpetuate themselves in the interests of those currently attached to them, nothing more. In short, organizations that have lost their mission and purpose. We had a solution for this kind of organizational malaise … clean them up or shut them down.

  37. Ron,

    Don’t apologize. That can be fatal. And don’t distance yourself from your friends and concede things you don’t have to concede.

    For instance, you weaken yourself—and harm someone you’ve supported—by saying “Dr. Cochran is an extreme rightwinger.” First, that statement is false. Second, you didn’t have to say it. Third, most people process the concept of “extremist” as meaning a potential terrorist. I’m sure you can protest “That’s not what I meant!” but that’s what a lot of people just heard you say. And you didn’t have to say it.

    Same thing with VDARE. You didn’t have to describe it as “a rightwing and very hard-core anti-immigrant webzine.” First, that statement is false. VDARE may be opposed to large-scale immigration, but it’s not “anti-immigrant.” How can it be when the editor himself is an immigrant, as are many of its contributors. One of its regular contributors is married to a Mexican immigrant. Second, aside from the immigration issue, its contributors tend to be middle of the road politically.

    You should have gone on the attack. You should have ridiculed an immigration policy that will make the American population surge to almost half a billion by mid-century. Make your opponents look like extremists. Not your friends.

  40. As much as I respect and admire Ron’s dedication and devotion to free speech and unfettered debate, I can’t help but think the times have passed him by and made him an unwelcome anachronism in contemporary politics. Nobody cares about opposing viewpoints today other than as a strawman they can ridicule and propagandize for the day’s two minutes of hate. The elite (I’m not fond of that label, but currently lack a better one) political stance is that “diversity” (meaning anti-white and anti-Western Civ) is the most important public good. Objectivity and empirical truth, inasmuch as they most often refute “diversity” as a positive benefit, must therefore be unequivocally evil artifacts of white male patriarchy. Ron appears to favor meritocracy based on objective measurements. This is wholly unacceptable in today’s environment where a short white man can decide he is actually a very tall Asian woman and everyone must pretend that this is in fact true.

    Video Link

    And, perhaps most importantly, objectivity strongly disfavors the African. It matters nothing if Asians outscore whites in cognitive testing and income. And Jews are “white enough” when comparing SAT scores or crime rates. The *only* consideration is whether Africans compare favorably and if they do not, then objectivity is deemed “racist.” By this standard alone, Ron is obviously a white hooded Klansman with single-minded determination to harm Africans based solely on the color of their skin. Even if, by some electoral white privilege juju, Ron did somehow win either the Harvard or California election, he would be immediately sidelined and spend his entire short tenure futilely trying to defend himself against charges of being a white supremacist. Really the only thing one needs to know in 2016 is that truth is racist and reality is racist, sexist, and homophobic. I understand only too well that Ron needs to fight the good fight as he sees it, but from a pragmatic perspective, he is simply throwing away his wealth.

    I’m a little confused about what you find so unfair about the Crimson’s take. Yes, I agree they should have stated clearly that nothing in your writings suggests that you are racist. Then again, they don’t exact allege that you are a racist either.

    Why should you not be criticized for financial support of white nationalist websites? Why should you be immune to examination of the many conspiratorial article you publish here? These seem like worthy concerns to me.

    “I publish questionable material from both sides of the ideological spectrum,” is not a very convincing defense.

    Certainly you have the freedom to publish controversial views or to support academics and writers who you feel are important despite some other odious beliefs. But those decisions can be scrutinized. Particularly, people with concerns about attempts to limit diversity will have reservations about your publishing decisions. Those reservations strike me as completely valid.

    Ouch!!! So now you’re a hybrid of John McCain and Rafael Eduardo Cruz. Sidelined. Even by a guy at the furthest right wing of contemporary public intellectual opinion.

    As some other commenters including Frost have noted, you would have been better served to attack. Trump has given ample proof of this concept. Never explain or apologize. Nobody is interested in intellectual arguments. The contest is over who can craft the most devastating sound bite and get it widely published. “The Crimsonistas are anti-Asian racist bigots who want Asian students to toil in rice paddies …” “The Crimsonistas are white privileged elitists who are terrified that poorer Asian students could earn their admission spot by hard work rather than by rich alumni parents …” Or just make something up from whole cloth. But no matter what, never, ever, give them an apology or an explanation they will characterize as an apology.

    I’m actually very proud of the fact that I was able to endure 29 minutes of this “debate” considering the grossly obese kid with the slack jawed mouth breathing. I am fairly open-minded, but there are limits. This kid is so completely programmed he’s unable to comprehend that the wealthy simply don’t care about the tuition rate other than as a barrier to entry for their competitors (as Ron patiently explained several times). The sense of arrogant entitlement from this grotesque blob is just too offensive for me to endure.

    Ron Unz, defender of free speech about immigration, racial IQ differences, etc., etc., gets tarred as a racist by a publication of that bastion of Political Correctness, his beloved alma mater, Harvard University, to which he wants the most intelligent youth of the nation to attend free of charge.

    LOL

    Allowing the best and the brightest to attend Harvard at no charge will only hasten the collapse of America’s already deeply decayed and decadent civilization. Millionaires with vision need to think about what must be done to hasten the demise of the university as we know it.

    In the age of the internet, in an age where half your neighbors in a well-to-do suburb likely are engineers, doctors, accountants, lawyers or holders of advanced degrees, is it really necessary to travel all the way to Boston or Princeton to get a good grounding in the elements of quantum mechanics or American history?

    Of course not. What’s needed is the academic network aps (whatever the Hell an ap may be), lists of those available in every geographic area as tutors, plus some rented tutorial rooms, a few independent accreditation agents (Google, perhaps, or the American Physical Society, the ACS, etc., etc., could provide the expertise and the machinery) and higher education becomes cheap (no damn deans, vice-presidents, presidents, and football coaches on ridiculous salaries to maintain, or sports complexes, theaters and multi-story car parks to construct), local, and for those of limited means, compatible with part- or full-time employment.

    But just leave the Harvard Crimson to wallow in its own politically correct stupidity and ignorance.

    What happened was that in the quick draft of my response I sent them I cited 75% from memory, then when I went back and looked at the numbers, it was probably a bit under 65%, so I sent them a correction, but they must have missed it.

    Regarding one of the frequent sentiments expressed in this comment-thread, I *really* don’t think my response came across as “defensive.” Instead, I think it made the Crimson people look totally ridiculous, which is why they refused to publish it.

    And Steve Pinker’s Tweet to his 236K Followers was hardly hostile: he described me as a “maverick,” a very positive term in political circles, and the Crimson article as a “smear,” a very negative term. All sorts of pretty prominent leftists, liberals, and rightwingers have been sending me outraged notes about the silly Crimson article, so maybe the Stasi people will end up getting a few of their teeth broken for trying to bite the wrong fellow…

    We have to keep in mind that college kids are now treated like kindergarteners.

    Pride is like teeth. You have lose your baby teeth to have a stronger set of adult teeth.

    Similarly, you have to lose your baby pride to gain adult pride.

    To lose baby pride, young people have to swallow their immature pride and learn to take orders and criticism and realize there’s more to truth, humanity, and the world than their childish rants and righteous posturing.

    When kids act lazy and stupid, they must be criticized and made to realize the insipidity of their childish ways. They must let go of baby pride and develop real virtues and abilities that will imbue them with adult responsibilities that will serve as the basis for adult pride.
    But our culture encourages young people to stick with their baby pride. So, we have all this babytalk as political discourse: ‘micro-aggressions’ gaga-goo-goo, ‘triggering’ waaaaaah we cwy, ‘safe spaces’ me and my sandbox goo goo, ‘slut pride’ me dwess and talk anyway I want but want respect goo, bogeyman of ‘KKK’ and ‘white supremacist everywhere mommy mommy there is monster under my bed me cwy goo goo gaga.

    Black Lives Matter is pure baby pride and babytalk based on unreality.
    Blacks now complain that grades and checking for grammar is ‘racist-wacist, goo goo gaga’ because blacks aint so keen on punctuation, spelling, and shi*. (Maturity be ‘racist’ since so many blacks be childlike and shi*.)
    Homo and tranny agenda has turned American Culture into child’s play of make-believe lalaland.
    We live in a world where ‘pride’ is synonymous with celebration that George Takei likes a man’s penis in his fecal hole and where ‘courage’ is synonymous with Bruce Jenner putting on a dress and demanding to go wee-wee in the women’s restroom.

    US is turning into Infantania or Infantasia.

    Real pride is about growing up and growing a new set of teeth. It’ s not about holding onto baby teeth and demanding that food be soft and tender so that baby teeth can chew pablum forever. Goo goo ga.

Petras also concludes that this plunder consisted of “over a trillion dollars worth of factories, transport, oil, gas, iron, coal, and other formerly state-owned resources.” That is not a typo; Petras wrote trillion. This figure is consistent with that of Jeff Gates, as I noted in my recent review of his book.”

There may have been environmental pressure against being gay in evolutionary history, but there was even stronger social pressure for gay people to conform. This is in all societies. Most marriages were arraigned up until quite recently and even where they were not arraigned, the pressure to fit in and have a family was very strong. If there is a gay gene it could have been passed from generation to generation by the strength of peer pressure alone.

They’ve overreached their bounds by character assassination of Ron Unz, and revealed their cowardice by remaining anonymous, and they also denied him his 1st Amendment rights by cutting out the relevant points in his response.
    These cowardly editors knew exactly what they were doing when they killed his response to their libel. It’s one thing to cut back on an article if it’s too lengthy; it’s quite another when the key points are erased.

  72. The single dumbest thing about the chubby kid’s case is how he goes on and on to defend the idea that Harvard should charge tuition, even bringing up his own case.

    While he plainly imagines he’s attacking Ron from the left, nothing could be further from the truth — as Ron makes perfectly clear. The kid obviously thinks that, because Ron is Horribly Right Wing Evil, everything Ron argues for must also be Horribly Right Wing Evil. He genuinely seems incapable of saying something like, Well, the idea of making tuition free at Harvard is a good one, but getting rid of Affirmative Action is a terrible one. It’s as if he’s been trained to think that the only way to assess a proposal is to consider the person proposing it. If the person is Evil, then everything he proposes is Evil; If the person is Good, everything he proposes is Good. And no doubt he believes — probably rightly — that his Socially Just audience will view it in the same way.

    “Why should you not be criticized for financial support of white nationalist websites?”

    I think that is fair game too, but what is wrong with ‘white nationalism’ in a nation that is all about identity politics?
    I know you think that white race is the cancer of society/history and deserves special blame for everything.
    You don’t see the great achievement of the United States. You only see the blood that was shed in its creation. I see many places around the world that spilled more blood over longer period with nothing to show for it.
    I’m not the one to contest the fact that whites did spill a lot of blood, and a tragic price was paid in the creation of the New World. But what an achievement!

    Black Africans, yellow Asians, Arab Muslims, and etc have been conquering, enslaving, and killing on a large scale, but they never produced anything like Western Civ. They committed violence without positive consequence. Even in the 2oth century, Mao killed tens of millions and only ruined the economy. America killed fewer and achieved so much more. And whites had to rule America in its founding and development since they and only they held the formula of modern civilization. Imagine if America had been settled by tribal black Africans, feudal Japanese, Islamic hordes, and etc. They wouldn’t have founded and built the great American nation. And Anglos especially held the key to success. After all, compare Anglo-US and Latin-America settled by Spanish and Portuguese. If slavery is key to economic success, then Brazil should be much richer since it had more slave and for much longer.
    And even though the West did trade in slaves and etc, they eventually ended that stuff and spread a lot of good stuff too.

    So, what is wrong with white nationalism, especially when universalism has been rejected by the ‘left’ and people of color and Jews and homos and feminists who are all into IDENTITY politics. And it’s not just about victim interests. Jews are very powerful, but they still play identity politics, and indeed they demand that EVERYONE support Jewish/Zionist identity politics via AIPAC. And blacks routinely beat up and terrorize whites but they only bitch about their own victimhood.
    Epidemic of black-on-white violence owes to racial factors that cannot be overlooked.
    Women do better in school and much of the economy now. But they bitch and bitch about how they are oppressed by men. Homos are among the most privileged people but they push their agenda on everyone as if they are only spreading tolerance. They are into spreading tolerance. They are into forcing us to celebrate their deviant sexuality.
    All those identity politics are not only protected but encouraged.
    And whites, esp white males of conservative bent, are blamed for everything.
    And Conservatism Inc has totally cucked itself out to the likes of Sheldon Adelson, homo-libertarians, and even Al Sharpton.

    Also, PC has shut down so many voices. So, there is no longer any culture of controversy and contention. There is just the culture of consensus and coercion.

    When Wasps ruled America and when Jews/homos were on the rise to power, there was a culture of controversy and contention. Jews and homos needed a culture of controversy to challenge dominant narratives and values.

    Once Jews became the new ruling elites, the culture of controversy should have continued with all Americans speaking truth to the newly dominant Jewish power.
    But once Jews and homos got the power, they wanted no more of that.
    They had used the culture of contention and controversy to rise to power, but once they got the power, they no longer wanted anyone or any group to challenge them.
    We now live in a nation where people are afraid to oppose men using women’s washroom now.

    Given that the Democrats are into PC consensus, GOP is into PC consensus, the ‘left’ is into PC enforcement, homos are into homosexist tyranny, shrill feminists are into hysteria mode and hallucinating rape all over, neocons were given green light(by media and government) to mess up the world, and Jewish Wall Street was bailed out by Obama, and ‘gay marriage’ was passed without any national discussion in the MSM, is there any culture of controversy and contention left in America?

    It is only in the ‘fringes’. If mainstream American discourse was free of PC, the ‘fringe’ opinion wouldn’t matter. Real debate would happen at the core of American culture. But because PC and culture of coercive consensus so dominate the mainstream and media institutions, the ONLY place you are gonna find a real challenge to the status quo is from the fringes made up of people who are willing to pay the price of ruined careers to say their say.
    And more from the fringe right than from the fringe ‘left’ because the far left is still allowed to thrive in some corners of the academia(even if unwelcome in the media dominated by globalist oligarchs). So, the fringe ‘left’ — neo-Marxist, Che Guevara admirers, anarchists, 60 radical leftovers, etc — are still well-represented in academic discourse. You don’t get in trouble by praising Trotsky, Rosa Luxembourg, and Hollywood Ten in college.

    So, the fringe right and alt right are the last true bastions of speaking-truth-to-power and carrying on with the culture of controversy, contention, and courage.
    Of course, Alt Right and ‘fringe right’ have its share of cranks, nuts, extremists, paranoids, and etc. Paul Craig Roberts often go TOO FAR. As for the 14/88 Neo-Nazi at the far fringe of the right, they are utterly useless except for a laugh now and then.
    And if they gained great power, they too could turn censorious.

    But the only spirit of free speech, contention, and controversy is now found in the ‘fringe right’ because they are deemed most taboo by the coercive MSM that is into the culture of consensus and the academia that is for culture of consensus and some fringe leftist views but closed off to any views that is right of Conservatism Inc. Indeed, for many academics, even mainstream conservatism is more offensive than far left ideology. They love playing armchair revolutionaries.

    So, even as I find Crimson’s hostility to ‘white nationalism’ to be understandable, it is disingenuous of them to ignore Unz’s main reason for supporting fringe voices on the Right. It’s because it is ONLY THERE(and in some corners of fringe left) that any kind of challenge to the Consensus is evident. It’s only there that you find the spirit of Edward Snowden(though he’s a libertarian and not an identitarian).

    There was a time when people like Pat Buchanan were syndicated in newspapers all over the nation. Like him or not, he had a voice along with Libs and leftists.

    And there was a time when a popular columnist like Mike Royko could write something like this:

    http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-06-11/news/1993162236_1_dark-alley-white-guys-sports-fans

    People had thicker skins and bigger balls back then.

    But the PC-lords took over colleges and media and enforced the culture of ‘sensitivity’ which meant certain groups — Jews, blacks, and homos especially — were never to be offended while one could be as insensitive to white folks, especially males, as one pleased.

    There was a time when personalities as colorful as Norman Mailer could have their say. And Mailer was prescient when he spoke of the dangers of ‘left totalitarianism’.
    Today, people are afraid even to crack a joke about Bruce ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner.

    “The identity politics in the US are mostly a reaction to explicit white supremacy codified into law.”

    Boris the Spider.

    Whites were favored historically, but every nation favors its own. Japan favors Japanese. China favors Chinese. Saudis favor Saudis. Black Africa favors Black Africans.

    So, there was nothing strange about white Americans favoring their own kind. They just seemed a bit hypocritical cuz they had this pompous Constitution with highfalutin talk.

    At any rate, could Great Modern America have been possible if whites were not favored?
    Suppose American Indians were given equal power and rights. Indians would have said, “white man no settle here. get lost. leave red men alone to hunt beaver and buffalo.”
    Of course, the red man had reason to feel such sentiment, but such attitudes would have made America impossible.

    And then take the Negroes. They were a primitive lot in Africa. They came with tribal cultures that were illiterate and backward. And as they were stronger and more muscled than white folks, policy of racial equality would have led to blacks dominating whites in the South. And then, whites wouldn’t have been able to build up an economy. Sure, slavery was wrong and blacks suffered. Sure, whites could have tried to civilize blacks more and faster. Sure, too many whites were too greedy to improve the lot of blacks. But the South would have turned into one big Haiti in the 19th century if blacks had been allowed to run free.

    If black African culture and attitude were given equal representation, US would have fallen apart. US had to be built as a western nation, and only white folks could do that. And they could do it ONLY if they had the power.

    Look at South Africa. I admit Apartheid was ‘unfair’. But only whites could have built a first world economy in South Africa. So, the reason why SA became the richest black African nation prior to end of apartheid was because whites had the ‘supremacy’ to run things. Since blacks took over the nation, it’s becoming more and more like Zimbabwe.
    Anyway, the ONLY reason why black South Africans inherited a much bigger economy is because whites had the power to run things their way. In contrast, black-ruled African nations had black supremacy of corruption and lack of talent that led to poverty and far greater violence than anything in South Africa.

    And look at Hong Kong. Sure, whites had privilege there and exclusive clubs where they prolly told chinaman jokes. Sure, one could call such privilege ‘white supremacy’. But it was because Brits had dominant control of HK that it developed into something modern and new and was spared the Chinese supremacism of fat Mao. And Hong Kong served as a model for rest of China once Deng started the reforms. So, white supremacy in Hong Kong came to help the Chinese in the long run.

    White supremacism had its dark side but it gave whites, the most advanced and talented people in the world, the opportunity and advantage to do what no other people could do. So, US owes a great deal to white supremacism. Without it, America would have been poorer and less developed. Or it might never have existed.

    Look at Southwest areas of America. It was once Mexican-supremacist cuz Mexers owned it. But Anglo-Americans took it over and practiced Anglo-supremacism and did great wonders to the region. And even Mexer-Americans in SW lived much better under Anglo-American supremacism than Mexers lived under Mexer supremacism in Mexico. Indeed, why do Mexers cross into the US? Cuz they know Anglos run things better than Mexers back home. Even prior to the Civil Rights era, Mexicans were illegally coming to the US to live under Anglo-Texan-Californian supremacism since Anglos did things better, cleaner, and saner than Mexican supremacists in Mexico who were into corruption and tacos.

    And the Rule of Law was best practiced by northern European whites. So, nations that were northern-european-supremacist were much better at establishing rule of law.
    In contrast, a Latin American nations like Brazil and Argentina had Latin/Spanish supremacism, and they ran pretty corrupt systems.

    Paradoxically, it was white supremacism that allowed greater eventual freedom and justice for non-whites as well. Cuz whites were most talented and had the supremacist power to realize their vision of modernity, there was eventually enough wealth and opportunities to go around and could be shared with non-whites as well.

    After all, that is why even black Americans never wanted to go back to Africa. They prefer a nation created by white supremacy than black supremacist nations of Africa where blacks mess up things with all the power they got.

    “There is no epidemic of black on white violence. I’ve crunched the numbers before: the chances of a white person being murdered by a black person are 2 in 1,000,000 per year.”

    You speak as a privileged whitey. A lot of white Americans live in areas with very few blacks or no blacks. They are safe. You surely live in a privileged gated community of safety.

    But if you look at the data for whites who live in proximity with lots of blacks, the stats are much grimmer.
    Also, you only take murder into account. You don’t taken into account the bullying, the taunting, the rapes, the robberies, the knockout games, and all the crazy behavior that is all too common among blacks.

    The cultural Marxists control virtually everything in our society today, and they need to be challenged. And that challenge requires men of courage who are not afraid to defend what they believe (or have supported), even if it means that they will be called extremists or racists. The cultural Marxists are not just control freaks with bad ideas, they are an ever present threat to individual freedom and our Republic. And if history is any guide, and it should be, their controlling impulses can lead to mass murder against those who disagree with them.

    It’s exactly one of my theory about the lower heritability of homossexuality. But schizophrenic people also tend to have lower fertility and the ”heritability” of this phenotypes tend to be higher.

    Maybe as happen with dizygotic twins with higher co-occurence of different gender among them (girl and boy) similar situation can happen with homossexuality and twins.

    We are not just talking about quantitative value but also about the nature of every human phenotype. The current nature of homossexuality is to have lower heritability as well happen with light eyes in the pre-historic european past.

    “US could have been possible based on equal laws.”

    But the supremacy of western laws had to be secured and established first. And that required white dominance since other cultures had different values and laws.

    Why is it so difficult to create western-style democracies abroad?

    Cuz if you allow equal freedom and democracy among the locals, the folks there favor their own values, like electing Muslim Brotherhood to government.

    Could Hong Kong have been possible if Brits gave Hong Kongese equal freedom and power at the outset? No, the Chinese would have insisted on doing things in their own ‘feudal’ ways.

    So,Brits had to use white supremacism to first establish the western anglo way in Hong Kong before the chinese there could take part in it once it became the new norm of doing things.

    Indeed, even equality had to brought about and enforced through violent means.
    It had to forced on the south by war and reconstruction.

    And Germany and Japan were forced to be democratic by war and invasion.

    So, even democracy was spread through military supremacism.

    And how was slavery ended around the world? Sheer power of western supremacism that forced other civilizations to end the practice… or else.

    And how was communism, the radical ideology of equality, brought about?
    Through the ideological and political supremacism of the soviets. Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

    Could communism have been possible if everyone had been given freedom to choose it or not?
    So, you see, even equality had to be forced on people by taking choice way from them.

    Equal freedom of individuality leads to huge economic disparities, and communism couldn’t tolerate such ‘injustice’.

    Racial ‘equality’ also leads to huge disparities since some races are better than others in either brain or brawn.

    You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. Ron Unz’s political efforts are at least in part an attempt to apply a kind of 1940s civic gentlemanliness to the pornographic chaos of the contemporary public sphere. Unz’s ability to bring a positive contribution is hampered by his refusal to acknowledge that this is no longer a sport. It is a war.

  92. I express general trust in the wisdom of a good person,
    of our beloved Mr. Unz, who is arguing for “free-tuition HU undergrad. program”.

    However, had somebody collected statistics,
    how much more (in median of distribution)
    the person who successfully went through HU undergraduate program
    earns during the lifetime ?
    I mean earns more, in comparison with person having non-Ivy-league diploma.

    I almost sure that it will more than compensate the spending on HU tuition.
    Therefore a loan for the purpose of getting HU undergraduate diploma
    does not seem to me so unjust.
    So, I do not think that many potential applicants will reject HU admission offer
    based on even full tuition requirement.
    It is a matter of life choices, “delayed gratification”.

    Sorry if I have offended some participants of the discussion.

    On a personal note, only one my relative dealt with Harvard University,
    and it was post-doc work, where HU paid him, and not in the opposite direction.
    Therefore I do not have personal experience
    to talk about HU undergraduate tuition.
    But post-doc’s remuneration (yes, I have recently learned this word)
    was almost below living wage in Boston area.
    The logic of HU is this:
    a person who wants “HU post-doc experience” in resume,
    will be ready to tolerate low remuneration.

Does this make me a racist or an elitist? I’ll take Elitist any day, week, month or year. I prefer my extended family be smart, not stupid.

    Here’s a wild notion: Since NAM’s dislike us so much for our feeling superior, let’s just agree to part company, okay? You be you. We’ll be us. Separately. No more cross-race subsidies. No more white cops policing black ghettos. No more taxing the upper middle class to fund meaningless Head Start or after-school basketball programs.

    On the inside, I’m pointing and laughing too. I know what this would produce. You do, too.

    PS: There are numerically more whites than blacks in the USA below the IQ cutoff for the Army. Proportionally, however, almost half of all blacks are that low. Does that make whites superior, the same or inferior? It depends on which whites and which blacks, doesn’t it?

    FYI, “homosexuality” is spelled with one ‘s’.

    This from Karl Radl:

    “I think the most sensible point was made by Glen Wilson in his 1992 ‘The Great Sex Divide’ when he argued that the increase in modern homosexual behaviour results from social normalization and the promotion of it as a desirable alternative (i.e. ‘it is cool’, ‘I don’t have kids to feed’, ‘I get lots of sex’ etc.

    He adheres to the idea (as I do) that there is an underlying level of homosexuality deriving from genetics (studying the animal kingdom itself suggests as much) but that most modern homosexuals are nothing of the kind.

    They are rather a mix of those who view it as a better lifestyle than that of a heterosexual (hence the huge rise in ‘bisexuality’), use it to attract heterosexual mates (faux lipstick lesbian style), have had issues/trauma with the opposite gender (battered wives/husbands losing everything in a divorce), have a hard time attracting mates of the other sex (i.e. manlets and land-whales) etc.
    Not from there being a biological cause in most cases, but rather because it is seem as a more desirable option for any of the above reasons.

    Exhibit A on how this works was classical Greece, Assyria and Babylon. All of which promulgated social norms [e.g. the common interpretation of the Spartan agoge]/institutions [e.g. the Theban Sacred Band] or laws (Assyrian/Babylonian law codes which rigorously prosecuted adultery in heterosexual relationships but positively encouraged homosexuality by not legislating against it or shagging most animals for that matter).

    The latter has also been making quite the come back recently.

    As an aside John Baker in his 1974 ‘Race’ made the observation that homosexuality increases significantly in domesticated animals when compared to their wild counterparts. He then reminds us that humans are extremely domesticated animals.”

    Yes, but is important to note that we have men who are very ugly, poor, maybe, a ‘loser’, and they still have sexual attraction for the opposite sex. So, yes, in some cases this factors can have a rule but even in this cases the pre-disposition must need exist. We can have some drops of disposition for sexual fluidity to a tsunami.

    Interestingly, many of this poor and ugly men and specially those who came from NAM varieties tend to be very self confident and with a lot of opposite sexual partners.

    I think that the identical twins who have the same sexual orientation maybe can be genetically/biologically different than those with non concordance.

    Domestication is a estrogenization process where the more manly types in a classic sexual dimorphism are eliminated by the pet’tier’ types. Domestication have greater implications specially in the stronger side, in the human case, the men, than in the balanced side, women.

    “Slavery has not been ended in the world. It is still alive and well in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.”

    Yes, it’s still around. One could also say communism in places like North Korea and some slave camps in China count as slavery too.

    But Western Imperialism did at some point use its military muscle to abolish slavery in many parts of Middle East, Asia, and Africa. But the West also did it by changing the minds of the native elites who were imbued with Western ideas on justice and liberty.
    Indeed, it was ‘white supremacism’ in non-white lands that spread western ideas that were used by native elites to eventually challenge white rule.
    Even in the US, blacks used white values and ideas of justice to fight for end of slavery.
    No such arguments existed in black Africa where slavery was just part of the norm.
    So, even blacks who came to oppose slavery as evil got that idea from whites, and whites were able to spread such ideas cuz they had supreme power over societies.

    All new orders and societies require some degree of supremacism, be it racial, cultural, spiritual, ideological, or whatever.

    For communist nations to be established, the communist had to have ideological and political supremacism over the populace and ban all competing ideologies.
    Once most people came to accept communism, then the communist system could be more tolerant and lenient.
    Same for Islam. For there to be Islamic civilization, the Muslims had to use ruthless violence and ban all pagan practices. Muslims tolerated Jews and Christians but barely. They had to know who was boss. In Muslim civilizations, Islam was supreme.
    Only when that was established could Muslims be somewhat more lenient.

    This is true even within a single ideology. When it was Stalin vs Trotsky, both tried to purge the other side. It was winner takes all. Stalin won, and he had to wipe out all competing factions. It was partisan-politics supremacism.

    No order was ever established by equality and niceness. All new orders was established by the supremacy of the new dynasty, new clan, new ideology, new military, new something.

    The nature of power is competitive. Various groups contend for power. Eventually, for one side to take power and impose its system/vision over the land, there has to supremacism.
    This was true even among the Nazis. Hitler vs Rohm. The Night of the Long Knives. Hitlerian supremacism over contending factions and groups.

    This is why the Jewish-Homo elites are hard at work. It’s why they are in supremacist mode. They took elite power, and they are now trying to consolidate their power for the future.
    Since there aren’t enough Jews to secure permanent Jewish dominance, Jews seek more diversity via massive immigration so that no single gentile group will have gain critical mass to challenge Jewish power.

    In a way, the breakup of the USSR was bad for Jewish power. If USSR had remained intact when communism collapsed, Jewish oligarchs may have been able to play off the various nationalities of former-USSR against one another. But since Russia became mostly Russian, Russians could use Russian nationalism to take back some power from Jewish oligarchs.

    All this yammering about ‘white supremacism’ is really smoke-and-mirrors to maks the agenda to secure Jewish-Homo dominance forever. And to do this, Jews tolerate no competing narratives or views. Since Jews see white gentiles as the most capable potential challenger to Jewish power, they invoke the bogeyman of ‘white supremacism’ to shame and paralyze white identity and interests, which are legit.
    Vilify white supremacism to push Jewish-Homo supremacism.

    Anyway, look at Israel. It was only possible cuz Zionism had supremacism over the Arabs. Imagine if Zionists had sought equality with Arabs from day one.
    Arab vision of Palestine was utterly different from Zionist vision of Israel. If both sides had equal power and say in everything from the outset, Israel and its western/modern system would never have succeeded. For Israel to be possible, there had to be Zionist supremacism that expelled Arabs from much of the land. There had to be Zionist power to create a new nation along European models of modernity, business, science, and development. Only after Israel was created and Jewish power was secure in Israel could Jews be more tolerant toward remaining Arabs in Israel(who live better than most Muslims in Muslim lands though with lingering humiliation of being second-class citizens).

    And only a fool would say modern South Africa would have been possible if white conquerors/settlers had opted for total equality in everything with the blacks in that region from day one. The cultures, values, and ideas of two civilizations were utterly different. They were not compatible. One side had to gain supreme power to enforce its vision and system over the other. And it was because whites did that that modern South Africa was possible.

    But PC forbids any such moral ambiguity since it reduces the world into cops and robbers of good and evil. And of course, there’s nothing worse than ‘white supremacism’.
