@matrix your comment on empathy kinda proves it: "empathy one should have for children misplaced towards "oppressed" people". What about the children of the "oppressed"? You say you're not "racist", but you only care about anti-white racism, completely discounting all the other discrimination (some codified, others implied, some related to race, others to sexuality etc...) that has existed for decades prior as inconsequential.
When the British "ended slavery", they paid (or renumerated) the slave owners. They did not pay the slaves for being subjected to inhumane conditions. Many of the descendants of those slaves now still exist in poverty. The relatives of the slave owners still are wealthy. This is why talk of "reparations" still remains, and indeed is getting louder.
I want to make it clear that I am not denying that there exist racial differences. The argument I'm making is that the differences we can observe between groups today are not EXCLUSIVELY because of race. And, in the case that differences are because of man-made factors, why shouldn't we, as men, try to ameliorate those specific man-made issues?
There are plenty (perhaps even a majority) of private schools/universities that are only in the position they are in because of corruption and the "revolving door" nepotism that is so prevalent nowadays. The private boarding school (one of, if not the most expensive in the country) I went to is a great example of this. Celebrity parents would give "donations" to the school to keep their problem child from getting expelled for breaking school rules. We even had a rivalry with the neighborhood public school which turned violent on numerous occasions. Yet alumni from the school grace all high positions and continue the cycle of "excellence".(https://www.financialsamurai.com/why-public-schools-will-rank-higher-than-private-schools/)
How is only accepting the "good" ones into corrupt institutions helping the wider black community propel themselves out of the mire they find themselves in? Even if it did it would be an incredibly slow process that would most likely not keep up with socio-economic developments that would overtake them. I think this was one of the points made in that Reddit thread I drew from.
Are you denying that systemic racism existed for a long time? I mean, Jim Crow was only ("officially") ended in the mid-60's...(Slavery was only "officially abolished" in the 1860's etc...). Neither of these things stopped "implicit bias" (or even, in many cases, "explicit bias").
As that Redditor points out, in order to address systemic racism, you need to meet it on the same field. You can't try to address the problems of historic racism by just "blank slating" everything and letting it all sort itself out "naturally", especially when, as I just desribed, the people doing the discrimination have the wealth/standing whereas those who were discriminated against have nothing. That is just doing the British solution and then LARPing like you're "race-neutral".
If the American empire is good because it "understands" that might isn't right then why are you advocating for the concept? "If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
I mean, whatever, the Austrian school sucks. Kenyes was/is right.
Even when pro-war Zionists try to empathize with the Palestinians, it's done in such a bad way that it changes nothing. Like a Russian state official "empathizing" with Ukrainians.
The fictional "Jewish Israeli" child's father was killed at the Nova rave (recent reporting alleges that the majority who were killed were actually killed by the IDF under "Hannibal Directive" orders).
The Druze child's father was an "elite IDF soldier" "defending the kibbutz communities (settlements)". Interestingly, throughout the article, the Druze individuals are not considered "Israeli". They are just described as "Druze", not "Israeli Druze", but just "Druze". Isn't that strange...
The Canadian child's father was killed because he was in the Kibbutzim (settlements) that "helped Palestinians" (boy in the striped pajamas moment).
The Palestinian child's father is.......Just an evil man who, although a "civilian", "joined in the brutal attack"...
“It is pro-peace, it is pro-Israeli, you could say,” said Rose. “We’re not saying Israel shouldn’t exist. But it’s also pro-Palestinian as people who deserve respect and their own say, free of Hamas. It is anti-Hamas.”
That statement is just a massive inherent contradiction. It is not "pro-peace" if it is "pro-Israeli", because Israel is literally engaging in open colonization and genocide. The Kibbutzes they talk about are a key part of that colonization and genocide.
It is not "pro-Palestine" if it says they should have "their own say", but that doesn't include the option to resist against colonization and genocide and to decide their own government free of Israeli meddling.
Again, it's like a pro-Z Russian LARPing about caring for the Ukrainians, but in the end, they only "care" about them so they can use them to achieve their own aims (overthrow Zelensky, de-militarize, re-incorporate into Russian sphere etc...). It is fake empathy, put plainly. And it is obvious (at least to me).
@Jazzy_Butts my mistake, I believe the daycare incident was non-consensual and involved more-so physical beating (instead of "sexual abuse").
Not good, but still, the "plea deal" is 90 days :/
What that case actually shows is that literally beating babies until you break their legs is apparently less bad than having consensual relations with a teenager because sex isn't involved...
Wild!
@Jazzy_Butts it's a really great channel to follow.
They recently had a video about a NY Republican (who was previously arrested for corruption, surprise surprise) getting caught with "1,000 videos" of "stuff".
Of course, not a peep about this from the "anti-woke" "right-wing" crowd...

@Jazzy_Butts I'm subbed to this channel, and since the start of the month of April there have been at least 4 cases of women engaging in (most likely consensual) acts with children under the age of 15.
1.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvmmLTKmDAE&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
2.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wCoFehyaXk&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
3.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is11au5JcC8&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
4.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuY_nN_hcE&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
In another case, a female daycare staffer was molesting toddlers, but I don't know if the evidence is it was consensual. She ended up getting only 90 days in jail.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBBNvi3lM6E&t=16s&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
That's 4 or 5 cases that this channel has covered in just 7 days. How crazy is that???!?! On average 1 case every 2-ish days.
@matrix "Opportunism". yeah, it's a reason I only voted for Trump once and was almost immediately disappointed and vowed "never again". The person interviewed in that Salon article hasn't changed their opinions since 2016. If anything, those opinions have been reinforced by what has happened since (https://marianamazzucato.com/books/mission-economy/).
I was writing a response to each individual point you made until I realised that your whole argument is that DEI is (anti-white) racist, but you're totally NOT racist, even though you say things like "empathy one should have for children misplaced towards "oppressed" people" and "There is no pragmatic reason for subsidizing an unproductive group while also opposing ways of filtering out the productive ones".
You're an implicit racist, essentially.
> "Guarding against third worldism". You just said "China and Bumfuckistan aren't right either, but they don't give a fuck that they aren't" as a defense of the "might makes right"/"right makes might" "unfortunate reality".
> "Many of the failures of C(r)apitalism are because of gubmint or don't even matter". Austrian schoolers gonna Austrian school...
Yeah, I know, I apologize for the Reddit comments, but I do think these apply here.
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net nothing to get.
Just two gay niggers from outerspace looking at each other.
@matrix Richard Hanania is a guy who changes his opinion every few months. He is an opportunist first and foremost. He thinks of himself as an "elitist" in the same way that Richard Spencer (who positively reviewed Cofnas' piece) does, or Claire Lehmann (who left a comment saying "terrific article!") does, or Cofnas does. They are all the same. Me reading a Richard Hanania article is not going to convince me of anything, except convince me that I was right to disagree with Cofnas.
"Sometimes it's self-hate". It is not self-hate in this case. It was enlightenment, rationalistic pragmatic thinking. DEI came about before "woke" shit or BLM stuff or whatever.
Lol. So because someone is engaging in racially motivated crime, you're blaming White liberals? If White people engage in racially motivated crimes, is that also the fault of White liberals? Sounds like you just don't like WASPs...
"They are the same". Clearly you were projecting when you said I made up a strawman. Trust me when I say the current liberal elite are well-aware of the nuances of "diversity". They play one group against the other all the time!
Of course they have feelings of kinship. They are a minority. You can't expect minorities not to stick to each other. Jfc, this is sociology 1-0-1.
So, in your mind, Trumpian nepotism is better than DEI, even though both in the end have the same results? You think Trumpian nepotism is "neutral"? Again, I'd say Trumpian nepotism is worse.
"There's a difference between the two, even if both weren't hired on merit" susdog.meme. "You can't have a presidency that doesn't support anti-white discrimination and also isn't full of presidential dick-suckers". So you're saying a "pro-White" presidency is naturally not meritocratic in any way?
WASPs aren't pro-diversity to the same degree you think, so having an "idealogical stooge" would actually be less nepotistic than having a "White dick-sucker".
Also, being "pro-White" is also an ideology, just like being pro-DEI. The whole argument for being "pro-White" was a "return to meritocracy". Hundreds of articles were written about this.
"China or some warlord in Bumfuckistan". So you hate the Turd world, but look at them and want to do the same thing? How ironic. Import turd world ideas, become the turd world, no?
"You gotta show me some"
Come the fuck on. This article is from 2016, right after the election. There are hundreds of similar articles, from left-wing and right-wing publications. There are dozens of studies.

Just got back from another trip to the bar with friends (5+ pints).
Met a liberal guy from uni who I haven't seen in years and years.
He has a Turkish girlfriend, and we were talking about Turkish domestic politics (protests) but also the irony that Turkey, regardless of whether Erdogan or the opposition is in power, would still pursue a Turkish expansionist policy in the region.
Also it was funny, my friend introduced me to the other friend's girlfriend by calling me a "that Fascist guy from uni".
Fun.

@matrix right now I'm kinda inebriated, but I'll try to answer...
> Richard Hanania. I literally don't have to say any more than that.
> Egalitarianism is utopian but fake "meritocracy" is not.... Egalitarianism is not fueld by ethnic resentment. The originators of egalitarian policy were lilly White European elites (WASPs) who knew they were elite (elite liberals). You're talking about "the oppressed" as if they're a monolithic, which is false. If both require "yes men" and both promote "diversity" then I'd rather have the former than the latter.
> "There is no irony. You see it simply because you've built a strawman". Absolute LOL moment. Trump says that he was bringing back (fake) "meritocracy" because DEI was harmful for efficiency/effectiveness of governance. If there is no difference between the two, why change from DEI?
> "It's not feasible to have right without might". The point is Cofnas is not "right", ergo he doesn't deserve the "might" that comes with it (not that his side has it anymore anyways).
> "There's no reason to blame C(r)apitalism". There is EVERY reason to blame C(r)apitalism.
> Heritage Foundation. It's as good a representation of Cofnas' shitty arguments as any. HF literally huffs their own farts and then passes it off as "independent study".
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net
The one and only!
Daily reminder that he was killed because of a leadership struggle and because he wanted the National Socialists to be more Socialists instead of Nationalists, not becauase he was gay.
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net it makes sense when, as I said, you aknowledge the contradictions lying at the center of Neo-Nazi ideology.
If the ideology is contradictory, then it's actually consistent that there'd be people who otherwise are considered "Untermensch" who follow it.
Many things that this graph shows.
1.) FDR/Truman progressive "New Deal" policies gave the U.S. the highest economic growth it ever saw. No Republican or Democrat "neoliberal" or otherwise ever comes close.
2.) The economy under Republicans generally tends to fall during their second terms (if they get one). Furthermore, the growth that they experience in their first terms is also generally dwarfed by their Democrat successor in their first term.
3.) Democrats generally do better on the economy in their second term (if they get one). There is no fall-off.
4.) The economic growth observed under Democrat administrations during the "neoliberal" era is most likely less due to deregulation and more due to raising taxes on the wealthy and investing in social services.
During the FDR/Truman era, taxes on the wealthy were very high, and the investing in social services/protections for workers was also very high. The economy had very high levels of growth.
While there was growth in the Clinton/Obama eras, there possibly could have been more if they were even more progressive.
In fact, some argue that Bill Clinton's deregulations (championed by right-wing economists and hated by progressive "New Deal"'ers) directly helped facilitate the recession of '07-'09 (which itself occured under Bush's second term mismanagement).
Tl;Dr: Keynes was right.
Keyenes also was bi and liked people on the younger side. Wow! Pedos getting tired of winning here...
@Jazzy_Butts "Another dictator throws them into a frenzy"
Before the outbreak of WW2, Hitler had Dollfuss (the Austrian Fascist dictator) assassinated.
Mussolini actually threatened to invade Germany with an Italian army if Hitler annexed Austria.
@Jazzy_Butts @bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net
Most Neo-Nazi beliefs are contradictory, so ironically, it makes sense that there'd be gay/trans Neo-Nazis among other contradictory identities.
They're (I think) engaging in extremism (Neo-Nazism) out of self-hatred and/or a desire to "fit in", which is very common nowadays.
My recent post about John Smyth touches on this. He was (privately) gay but promoted "Muscular Christianity" and was vehemently anti-gay in his public rhetoric. He ended up abusing over 100 boys and young men, telling them while he was doing it that he was "purging" them and himself of "sin".
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net It's just out of racial hatred, nothing more. Upon closer inspection, it is contradictory (like most of the tenets of Neo-Nazism).
