"Ill tell you another thing about this: Im pushing all my chips into the middle on the American people. Not on an idea not a proposition not on a constitution with a total different populace. Im pushing it all in the middle on the fact that were pretty great. Literally us. Literally the people living here not the idea of us not different people living under similar laws. Im pushing it all in on us. And I think well be fine. But Ill live or die get rich or go broke on that bet. The birthrate is unfixable your options are to live in a country with declining standards of living where 50% of the"

"Listen this just is what it is and it sounds ugly but nobody can tolerate judgment from somebody who is like [--] IQ points stupider than they are. Its just literally intolerable. You can live in a society where your judges are smart and respected and educated and have roughly the same morals and values that you do. But when the person presiding over you is from a completely different culture and/or very clearly a standard deviation stupider than you are then the system loses all legitimacy. That legitimacy comes from the consent of the governed and who would possibly consent we really have a"

"The phrase white nationalist annoys me even more than the generic racist because at least with racist theres a whole spectrum of beliefs and behaviors that get that label including sins of the mind or heart. With white nationalist however its just like you know I think one would have to support like literally at least one policy or rule that was explicitly designed to preference whites while disadvantaging other groups in order for that label to make any sense. Like to be a white nationalist you really do need to believe that government policy should prevent Black people from doing this or"

"I dont like any of this stuff. I am not from that culture. It is not obvious to me that this is what fun looks like. That looks very stupid and boring to me. I find it sort of embarrassing that anybody would participate in it. I by a very wide margin prefer a guy singing quietly with a guitar. The fact that some people can only see this as fun and cant even conceive of somebody not thinking its fun thats exactly what culture is. That feeling is culture"

"It is of course revealing of the true nature of leftism that theyre not actually able to do this. If anti-whiteness and mass immigration were not so important to them they could probably win every election for the foreseeable future. Yes the economics would still be bad but in a way that has populist appeal in a very rich country that could probably absorb the losses. ive said it many times at this point but even though im on the right ill tell my left-wing friends the same thing: if you want to rule forever just be sane on immigration drop the anti-white rhetoric dei and some of the"
