In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Pundits Deep State Dead/Ex- Presidents Zhou Bai Dien
It's been nearly a month since I felt a need to write this post. Why bother bashing one of our favorite writer/pundits, Steve Sailer, that would be? It's probably because I do think he's a smart guy and great writer and that I've learned a lot from him over the last decade of reading his stuff. (Now here, formerly here, though he'd had 2 more online venues prior.) I can't get over that I've run into something major on which I strongly disagree with him.
On Mr. Sailer's substack site back in early September, I saw Why Did the Anglosphere Go Hog Wild Over Immigration? Here's the subtitle in case you can't read it in the screenshot: After Covid, English-speaking nations tended to go nuts over immigrants. How come?
How come?! How do you not notice(©) that people are evil and are bent on destruction?
Perhaps there were economic theories about how to deal with post Covid adjustments behind the splurge?You've GOT to be kidding me, Steve Sailer! After all this time and the actions – the immigrant invasion (“Asylum”) apps, the flying in of foreigners in the middle of the night on US-based airlines (I witnessed some of this – actually, in broad daylight), and all that, you think still that this was incompetence and stupidity?
But keep in mind that the After Covid years were also the After Trump and After George Floyd years. Anti-Racism became the highest priority, and what is more racist than white people trying to keep their country white? Trump’s defeat in 2020 just showed that Goodness was prevailing.
Beyond that gut feeling, the Biden Administration didn't seem to have a well-worked out rationalization for letting in so many immigrants. Instead, they just seemed to feel that it was racist and Trump-like to try hard to keep immigrants out. And then they got surprised when they eased off border enforcement at how many migrants swarmed in, including from places that had sent very few migrants before.
So, in America, the best answer is the Biden Administration wasn’t thinking.
As the guy with (no, no, none of that!) the Deep State behind him said when he was lucid, “C’mon, man!”
Steve Sailer’s assumption is that nobody is evil, just stupid. As the guy who runs this website, I should agree, but I don’t. There is no paywall on this one, so I figured the comments ought to be lit. However, most commenters there are "yes men" if you will, as compared to the ones that wrote and still write under his Unz Review posts. OTOH, I usually agree too. Not this time.
Right, a lot of special interests were involved in the insane immigration explosion of the early 2020s.Special interests have always been involved. In ’20, the Extra-Special Interests, the Deep State Globalists, figured they had this PRP thing done now that they had gotten rid of Trump. Their overall plan, above cheap labor, above MOAR Commie votes, was to make sure there will never be a big active White Middle Class again, anywhere, ever! That’s evil. That’s what they want.
But why didn’t anybody notice?
Oh, and we DID notice that. How could a VDare WRITER, not just reader, not notice(©) this?
There are comments on TUR starting here, including a nice long one from "Jenner Ickam Errican" (Generic American). Back under his own post, one of Mr. Sailer's own comments in the thread went:
Right. A few decades ago, Biden would have eventually cracked down on his staff over immigration and altered course earlier. Same with crime too.Too senile, huh? It was just that rogue Mayorkas… should have been cracked down on? Bull. There were and are people behind all this who Steve Sailer doesn't want to admit exist, because we don't know their names. As far as Bai Dien himself, this is from 10 years back. (H/t Generic American)
But he was too senile to feel the winds of change.
frameborder="0" allowFullScreen>
Man, does Mayorkas look suspense-movie-villain-level EVIL in that clip!
Peak Stupidity has discussed this Stupidity v Evil question before. No, they are not ALL stupid. As for the PRP specifically, this (SS substack) commenter Longstreet is on the right track in that thread, per Peak Stupidity's view:
I think the elites hate us. They look at a place like Mexico where there is an even greater wealth gap than there is in the US, and they say, “Hey, this is a better model for me. I can more easily manipulate these people and I can use them to undermine white people who are blue collar.Yup. Now here's a more minor subject but with that same error of interpretation.
The post was Lone Gunmen vs. Mob Violence, from just after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
The subtitle is: Lots of people blamed JFK's assassination on the "climate of hate" among conservative Texans. So, don't jump to conclusions.
I was generally in agreement with the post, but not the one thing in (my) bold:
In contrast, horrifying as lone gunmen are, quick attempts to draw broader lessons from them often go awry, as happened during the 1960s. For instance, JFK’s assassination was initially blamed on a “Climate of Hate” in conservative Dallas by NBC news anchors Huntley & Brinkley. Much of the rise of leftism in America in the 1960s was influenced by misperceptions like that.He’s right – don’t jump to conclusions, and about the way the JFK assassination was spun (not really a lesson gone awry, IMO, just the leftist Regime Media of the time). However, no, the rise of leftism was due to the rise in the number of leftists. Remember Occam’s Razor? The Communists in America have not “misperceived” ANYTHING. Again, they are not stupid – they are evil. OK, enough. Steve Sailer is an honest man, so I think he is just too nice to imagine this idea of actually evil people. Some people ya' just cain't reach...
... yet, I sure enjoy reading the guy. The subtitle of his now-2nd-to-latest (very short) post, Are Feminists as Delicate Flowers as the MSM Suggests? - also without a paywall - goes: How dare a brute of a man like Pete Hegseth imply that women aren't tough enough for combat? Doesn't he know how much that hurts their feelings? LOL! cause it's TRUE!
PS: Regarding the assassination of JFK, there are so many reasons Deep State types would have wanted to kill him that one figures, details aside, it HAD TO BE a conspiracy. When it comes to the Big Bankers that did not like the idea of a return to sound money, perhaps Lee Harvey Oswald was a loan gunman. (Get it? If so, please clap…)

PS: My most recent comment should have read "care", not "cane", as much as Trump probably thinks he ought to be able to cane anyone, as in Singapore. Hell, there are a lot of people...
We have a book review of ichel Houellebecq's "Submission". (No, spell check will not help you with this one, the author's name, that is!)
https://www.peakstupidity.com/index.php?post=1269
To summarize that review - at least I got it into one blog post that time:
- It's readable enough.
- The author tried to make it into a SHTF story at one point. That didn't take...
- ... because he writes of what he knows (a good thing), and what he knows is being a writer. The protagonist is an adjunct Instructor, IIRC, of French literature, concentrating on one writer from 8 centuries prior.
- The protagonist is basically a hedonist. He has no family and is not worried about the future of France other than what will affect his nice quiet, poorly-paid academic life, with occasional students-with-benefits.
- This will spoil it, but so does my review - in the end, he's fine with submitting to Islam, cause, multiple wives, one to cook, one to f__k (at least, up to 4, the new Univ. President told him).
- This goes along with what SafeNow's been telling us. That ending is an attempt at an advertisement for Islam, at least for young men. Hey, it almost worked on me!

PS: From Mr. Hail, regarding Pres. Trump: "His commitment to really breaking up the Camp of the Saints is, for me and others who "should be" supporters (including PS reader Mr. Anon) completely unclear and not worthy of trust, going on current experience."
Yeah, Mr. Anon is really pissed at him. I tend to get that way only when I pay attention to the blathering out of his mouth too much. There is a lot of sanity and strategizing behind the scenes, I gather, based on some actual policy changes and results.
As to your comment directly, Trump will cane about things such as an American Camp of the Saints only when something personal happens or he sees much of it as scamming. He doesn't like getting scammed, and because he does care (IMHO) America and Americans being scammed. Many times, he only gets going on something when it becomes personal. So, the tactics of those of us in power with him (OK, not me), and excluding the Pam Blondies who really ARE only in it for the Reality-TV, should be to MAKE things personal to Trump and to demonstrate all the scams. It turns out that a WHOLE LOT regarding legal immigration is scams, scams all around. That's not just with the Somalians, but they are one stellar example!

Yes, and the interesting foot-note on that was that he was a man of the Left, nominally. He was a lifelong member of the Social Democratic Party in Germany.
This question of the Great Replacement. To blame it on "the Left," as some might reflexively do, is not necessarily correct. Merkel was of the Right (nominally). The only major political party in Germany today dead-set against the Great Replacement as their central policy-plank (AfD) is not necessarily of the Right. Not as traditionally understood.
_____
By the way, something I've not seen much covered at PS, or much elsewhere, is the question of so-called liberal churches vs. so-called conservative churches. Specifically, which one is really better on the question of the Great Replacement.
This one seems like an absolute no-brainer: "the liberal churches are worse." I'm not so sure.
Most of the so-called conservative churches today are also effectively committed to post-White multiracialism, as long as the new nonwhites in their flocks are conservative and committed to Jesus, or something. Many of them I think feel closer kinship with nonwhite conservatives than with their own kindred -- other White-Christians. even those of the same church-traditions but who are more on the so-called liberal side. This is stupid and short-sighted (if you ask me).
Long story short, the observation I've made is on the lines of "Look at what they do, not at what they say." But the old saying doesn't really apply because the so-called conservative churches today also preach multiracialism and post-White racial harmony. They just do it in a less ostentatious way than some of the social-media clips you'll see of the wackiest of the liberal churches (and basically always women).
The only person I remember seeing comment on this dynamic directly -- of the conservative churches vs liberal churches and things not being as clean as an outsider observer might imagine -- was Anti-Gnostic. And that was years ago.
It's a very subtle thing. I have some experience in both moderate-liberal and conservative-type churches, and have seen these things play out. The conservative churches have a sub-element of racialist-type people but they are basically made to feel unwelcome and as dissidents in their "own churches."
This has been turning over in my mind for a long time, the Sarazzin vs Merkel debate reminded me of it. IF anyone happens to read this and have any input, please write in. If I get up motivation to get around to publishing on my own website, it would be a good novel topic.

-- Some words on "Camp of the Saints" at its 52-year mark --
Alarmist says: "I don’t need to read Camp of the Saints"
Many things about this novel are of historical interest:
Written by white Frenchman Jean Raspail (1925-2020), supposedly following a "vision" he had in 1972; novel published in 1973, well before most places in Europe had anything like the later enforced presence of large numbers of sullen, unassimilable, non-Westerners, championed as pets by certain people in the West.
I read the Camp of the Saints book around 2006. I recall many haunting scenes from that novel, which were quite close to home. A mix of allegory and non-allegory. The Leftist characters in the novel bore absolutely uncanny resemblance to the Refugees Welcome people of 2015-16. I knew the general type from the USA, but it's really in Europe, it's really from spending time in Europe, I think, that one will tend to "get it" -- maybe nowhere more than Germany; IMO you see this type in a purer form in Germany than maybe anywhere else. I was, in that sense, unsurprised by the Refugees Welcome response in 2015-16.
In any case, Camp of the Saints:
- Timing: 1972-73, technically speaking a highly "early" date, as it would've been quite easy, then, to simply assume permanent White-Western demographic-political-cultural invincibility, still spiritually holding over from the long 19th century? Countries in Europe were still growing naturally in the early 1970s, and compared to today the Migrant populations were small and weak. But still M. Raspail sensed what was coming. How?
- Timing: not 1873 (100 years earlier), not 1923 (50 years earlier), not even 1963 (10 years earlier). Only by 1973 was such a book possible. None like it had come before, afaik. So something had changed in the Zeigeist.
- France: Enough said.
- Author is French" See above.
- Europe: The third-world migrant armadas sailed to Europe, not the USA. Notable. (This could be dismissed as a convenient device given that the author was French writing in French, but that's not to disprove the point; this data-point gives us something in the "France first" column.)
- The political angles: Raspail identified quite well how it would happen and main groups would do what. This was forward-looking at the time, rather than assuming the "moment" of the late-1960s and early-1970s would fade and pass, he envisioned it deepening and become the standard Western order, which was the right call. 1993 looked politically a whole lot more like 1973 than 1973 looked like 1953 (if that framing works for you).
- Flash forward to the 2010s-20s: By early 2015 (also well before the Merkel Migrant Crisis got underway), that one French author with the name only spelling-bee champions can get right (it could be anglicized to Hollowbeck) came out with a novel, "Submission," similar in many ways to Camp of the Saints, but which people no longer saw it as shocking or bizarre.
- Cultural pessimism: Raspail's novel in 1973 was a voice in the wilderness shouting a warning. The "Submission" novel of 2015 was a loud "sigh" (and a "sign," if you wish -- but I like "sigh") of cultural pessimism. The rise of Western cultural pessimism can be observed easily, and can be felt easily, in these past few decades.
- Solutions: The novel was deeply bleak and pessimistic and did have oppositional forces but which were completely hopeless. I'd say that's how things felt to people in the 2000s and at least half of the 2010s: the desperate need to reverse this terrible tide, but being outboxed by hostile elites and suicidal do-gooders or people who, for any sort of reason, couldn't see. Hard work needed to be done. But then a man rode in a metaphorical white horse, with a flash of literal orange dominating the screen.
- Supporters and opponents alike, I think, all agree that the rise of Trump is a "bright flashing sign of cultural pessimism." They'd disagree on why that cultural pessimism exists and other specifics, but the rise of a figure like Trump signals something went wrong.
And yet, Trump is NOT a directly an "anti-'Camp of the Saints' character." He's more of a self-promoting, demagogic, narcissistic, strongman figure who takes advantage of the malaise with vague insinuations that he'll solve the problem, which desperate people believe. His commitment to really breaking up the Camp of the Saints is, for me and others who "should be" supporters (including PS reader Mr. Anon) completely unclear and not worthy of trust, going on current experience.
But it's clear enough that Trump is a "Camp of the Saints" President, and that there are many other such figures, one way or another, including types predicted by Raspail in 1973 and those not quite predicted but which follow from the trend. Trum[ is, I'd say, a "Camp of the Saints" figure not "necessarily" because he is the hero who saves the West (even his most-ardent loyalists, I think, would say he's just a game-changer who will allow some future person to save the White-West from oblivion), but really because he's the kind that "tends to" get produced by crises.

Another LLM-AI failure --- Anybody who knows basic things about 2010s Steve Sailer knows "World's Most Important Graph" does NOT "refer to a visualization popularized by Steve Sailer, which tracks and compares the median incomes of native-born Americans and immigrants over several decades...highlighting a perceived widening income gap between the two groups.

There are all kinds of things wrong with that response. It's times like this that the "probabilistic" word fill-in game nature of the LLM-AI world is plain to see.
I don't think Sailer has ever at all much talked about a widening income gap.
The sad thing is, there probably WILL be people out there who do come away thinking (things like): Sailer, he is a crotchety old coot obsessed with trying to track a "widening income gap between native-born Americans and immigrants" and a man who thinks this is, quote, "the world's most important graph"!

PS: Yes, you brought this factor up before, SafeNow. It's understandable, but still, if you do wrong to people in order to "get some", I don't know, a lot of that is still evil in a way, as greed is too. These Big-Biz guys who push for hordes of illegal aliens are doing it for reasons of greed. Yet they are aiding and embedding the PRP. That they don't care is a type of evil.

PS: Hello, Jim. Yes, Mr. Sailer rightly attributes IQ to genetics (not as the whole of it) for groups. Does he think individuals like Brandon there or the traitor Mayorkas are low IQ? He thinks people just drop the ball or something.
Anyway, this is just one point, and he's on our side. I had to get it off my chest.

1) Steve Sailer has morphed into a bigger p***y as time goes by.
2) There is likely a mix of evil and stupid going on at the footsoldier end of the spectrum, perhaps some mix of stupid and evil at the visible “leadership” level, and an unseen evil genius cabal calling the shots.
3) All roads might seem to run through Tel Aviv / Jerusalem, but remember that that control center is a creation of the City of London.
4) I don’t need to read Camp of the Saints… I see it unfolding on the streets of Europe, the UK, and even the USA every day.

I have posted this before, on UNZ or here or both, but here goes. The issue is: Is the motivation stupidity, or evil, or a combination of factors? I suggest that another factor often exists: The “biological imperative.” In plain English, improving one’s prospects for getting laid. I go all the way back to Vietnam, and I saw this motivational factor at work. There was even that famous Joan Baez fetching-girls-photo meme, “Girls say yes to boys who (are woke).” (And yes, I still carry a grudge.)

"Steve Sailer’s assumption is that nobody is evil, just stupid."

He's kind of an IQ reductionist. To him, most social conditions can be explained by IQ, so that may be where his assumption comes from. Of course, there's much truth in what he says in a collective sense - China and Japan do impressive things, in large part because of intelligence, but how does one explain high IQ North Korea? Or Mao in the 1960's?

As far as those tire fires go... I have never seen a tire fire on a vehicle in real life. (I did pop a tire on a container chassis one time. By the time I made it off the interstate to a safe place where I could call roadside assistance the rubber was completely gone and the wheel had started grinding away. The roadside assistance guy was cool though. He had me back on the road in like an hour.)
I have heard of brake/tire fires happening in places like Arizona or West Texas. When I was in trucker school they played a video for us about the importance of keeping your brakes cool and how to extinguish tire fires on a tractor trailer. (You know, in case you were ever traveling through Arizona in August or something.)
One time, as I was headed up the Mt. Washington auto road, there was a minivan that came down the mountain with its brakes smoking. (Apparently the man driving this minivan didn't know to downshift so as not to ride the brakes down the mountain.) He stopped at a scenic pull off area where we were already parked. (If I remember correctly, it was where the Appalachian trail intersects the Mt. Washington auto road. But this was like 25 years ago, so...)
As the man was about to pour cold water on his brakes my friend Mike and I intervened. We explained to the man that pouring cold water on hot brakes was really not a good idea. We convinced him and his family to just chill out, maybe take a hike or something, and let them cool down naturally. We also told him about how his transmission gear selector worked. I assume he made it down safely because we didn't see any wrecked or broken minivans on the way down the mountain later that day.
So, yeah. That's about it for now.
I hope you gentlemen have a wonderful Saturday! ☮️

PS: I had to look it up just now, but do you know that Thilo Sarrazin published his (translated title) "Germany Abolishes Itself" 15 years back? It's not like nobody saw this all coming. (Peter Brimelow & Co, including iSteve are examples here at home.)
The Euro governments have had their ways of suppressing any opposition, to me in a stronger way than our Regime Media has. If it's not declaring political parties illegal, it's the Yoo-Kay complete Orwellian stuff. Things are changing. I don't think they'll all be able to keep this up. The Euros may have that Alice Weidel, but she's no Trump. (You may say "Good!", but I wouldn't.).
In the UK, the people are rising up. Were the AfD to be banned - I read a chunk of the Deutsch Constitution and put it in one of our posts even - I think even the authoritah-following Germans might raise hell. Hopefully, it wouldn't be that one guy in charge of raising it, this time... but, why push people into this situation? (They think they learned the lesson of the Nazis and WWII - nope, the sure didn't.)
I remember a French guy, Jewish, whose name started with Z, who got into the election process there. I haven't heard from him. How are the Le Pens doing? How many of them are in jail? What is going on with the Yellow Vest movement that started half a decade ago or more? Will it all come together there and some kind of virtual guillotine app be dragged out?
America, IMO, still has the best chance to settle all this peacefully.

PS: "That latter event turned into a nine-month period that sucked in many years' worth of miscellaneous Muslims/Migrants all at once, many which, I assume, later got family reunification rights. It was an ethnopolitically horrific event, a self-imposed catastrophe. (My view at the time was it was in part the result of decades of demonization of Germany, as Merkel did it to show Germans are good people after all, not like how Hollywood shows them)."
That "latter", as I hope PS readers understand from the context of your comment, was dubbed "Merkel's Boner" by Mr. Sailer. Now, that's kind of fun and it rolls off the tongue. I don't know if Mr. Sailer really believes that Herr Merkel just "screwed up". If he does, that goes right along with the point of this post. It's also possible it wasn't quite evil in thought, though still in deed, as was it just a move of massive female stupidity - COMPASSION FOR THE CHILDREN - the one dead kid whose Dad was responsible - let to happen by men who will not fight the Matriarchy. What did they think was gonna happen with women in power running amok?*
I actually did NOT review "Camp of the Saints", but I wrote a quick review of a (you guessed it, VDare) review of the book:
https://www.peakstupidity.com/index.php?post=412
However, I did read it, probably 10 years back, I'm guessing, out of the local library. I'm guessing the book got worn so the replaced it with "When Aiden Became a Brother ", as per:
https://www.peakstupidity.com/index.php?post=3016
The situation in Europe is yet another point I want to reply to.
* BTW, I saw your mention of Nancy Mace somewhere. That incident in the Congress still gives me a chuckle. "We want more privacy! I'll show you what happens - my 3rd husband/boyfriend took pictures of my naked body. I'll prove it with Exhibit A. Look, US Congress and C-SPAN viewers - this is my naked body. Look, look...!" [Whole scene paraphrased to the best of my ability.]

PS: Good morning, Mr. Hail. Thank you for the plug in the iSC-#12 thread! I will write back there too.
"I can't easily tell if he's used it [World's Most Important Graph] too often at the Substack, because there is no useful search function." Welcome to the party, pal! Ha, sorry it's just as hard or harder here. I can't say enough how well-functioning TUR commenting is, including search.
It's possible Mr. Sailer has not displayed his pretty scary graph due to not wanting to give off that quite reasonable scared-of-a-black-world "racist" vibe that would turn off some of the mainstream. (I kind of wonder what Tucker would have said had Mr. Sailer pulled out that graph during that hour and a half interview - depends probably on whether Tucker had had anything to drink, I think) Mr. Sailer is "The most reasonable guy in America" per Tucker and his mutual thinking, but, there's reasonable and there's reasonable.
It's also possible that the Sub-Saharan African birth rates have come down enough - not a lot but slightly such that Mr. Sailer, being a big optimist, figures it's gonna be all good. Not if we let even 1%, that's ONE PERCENT of them into the West, it's not. As it is, recently at a hotel, there was a fat black African housekeeper - English was nil except for "front desk". (I was trying to ask it there was a fitness center there). She might, well, does I guess, work harder than your average American black housekeeper, but WE DON'T NEED THIS!

Steve Sailer coined the "World's Most Important Graph" in late-April 2015 and referred to it regularly for a few years. I can't easily tell if he's used it too often at the Substack, because there is no useful search function. It seems however that he's mentioned it less.
See:

Steve Sailer coined the term "World's Most Important Graph" a mere few weeks before Trump declared his first campaign (mid-June 2015); and four months before the beginning of the turbocharged Migrant Crisis in Europe (late-August 2015).
That latter event turned into a nine-month period that sucked in many years' worth of miscellaneous Muslims/Migrants all at once, many which, I assume, later got family reunification rights. It was an ethnopolitically horrific event, a self-imposed catastrophe. (My view at the time was it was in part the result of decades of demonization of Germany, as Merkel did it to show Germans are good people after all, not like how Hollywood shows them).
The Migrant Crisis of 2015-16 seemed, at its height around the autumn months of 2015, to play out the Jean Raspail prophecies of the 1970s. That author prophesied that Europe some time in about the early-21st century would cave in to seaborne migrant armadas and allow them to take over (in "The Camp of the Saints"; previously reviewed at PS, I believe).
Sailer himself could be counted as a political prophet for many years in his commentating career, pushing hard on such things as the World's Most Important Graph even before the rest of the world paid much attention.
(It's been said many times but Sailer's commentaries of ca.2000-2015 definitely do presage Trump. The great tragedy is that the one who stepped into fill the void and fulfill the Sailer prophies was this drama-addicted, petty, narcissistic, orange-haired man.)
BTW --- By the close of the year 2015, Germany -- Europe's economic-political center-piece and quiet leader since the 1990s -- finally, FINALLY began to get a serious, major, potentially-election-winning political force, the AfD, to challenge the pro-Migration, pro-Diversity consensus politics. In other words, there was finally the beginnings of a real, uncontainable challenge the politics of managed decline and "Volkstod" (national death; "die Demokraten bringen uns den Volkstod" went a slogan of circa the early 2010s).
There had been many previous efforts but none ever got enough sustainable momentum and could all be contained. That stopped being true by the closing months of 2015, due to the Migrant Crisis.
But because of the high average age of the German White population, and major institutional inertia and pushback, and then the Corona-Panic, it took something nearer ten full years to get around to a real realignment, which they are now at.
Interestingly, polling shows they were getting close by various points around 2018 and 2019, and then really achieved record-breaking successes early in the year 2020. In January 2020 they had a shock election near-win in a state election and were kingmakers in the election of the state's governor (elected by the state parliament), due to procedural oversight by the other parties. Merkel then stepped in and overturned the election by fiat, and ordered a re-election.
The Corona-Panic, starting within weeks of the high-water-mark period for the AfD that I just mention, caused a loss of something like half the AfD's polled support: persuadables and Panickers flocked to the safety of the government, and all talk of the AfD's main policies was swamped. A lesson can be universalized to some extent, to explain why governments liked the Lockdowns even when the smarter and less-crazy among them knew well it was a bad idea, is that everywhere this tendency existed. Lockdowns are a kind of martial law, even if it was being run by that 5'6" Italian guy and that scowling scarf woman. The process crated a dynamic of opposition forces being completely deflated, at least for as long as the Panic lasts. This is also, incidentally, the single cleanest, all-purpose explanation for the US 2020 election.
The above is a Sailer observation he might've made, in an identical situation, ten or twenty years earlier. But when the 2020 Virus Panic and soft political suppressions did hit
_________
In summary: When commenting on events of the 2020s, Sailer does not push on the same points he previously made central to his commentating.

The process crated a dynamic of opposition forces being completely deflated, at least for as long as the Panic lasts. This is also, incidentally, the single cleanest, all-purpose explanation for the US 2020 election.
The above is a Sailer observation he might've made, in an identical situation, ten or twenty years earlier. But when the 2020 Virus Panic and soft political suppressions did hit

In summary: When commenting on events of the 2020s, Sailer does not push on the same points he previously made central to his commentating.
Mr. Mod, a comment by one Achmed E. Newman was posted under that video… I thought it was you.
The only “conservative” organized Christian denomination/church I can think of at this point would be the Eastern Orthodox church. Antipope Leo channeling his ice powers is yet another sign of how Roman Catholicism has been coöpted by the forces of darkness.
I will say that as a conservative Christian living in the EU, I’ll probably be OK paying the jizaya and watching muzzies throw the Queers for Palestine and other “fellow travellers” off the Tour Eiffel. Have you noticed that Christian churches that stood for more than a millennium in Palestine have been destroyed in the past couple years by the Christian Zionists’ “chosen people”?
I lived in Singapore when that little shit Michael Fay got his caning for various acts of vandalism, with the US Govt whining at the unfairness of it. As an American on the ground, it was yet another example of how “our government” cares not for the law abiding Americans abroad, just the trouble makers, thereby putting a target on all our backs.
