		<description><![CDATA[Interesting article. 

I agree whole heartedly on most of the points, but the conclusion needs a bit of criticism. 

The forest in which we remain oriented is massive, multifaceted, and diverse. It&#039;s also fragile and the various &quot;trees&quot; making up this forest tend to hate one another. I am struggling to come up with a forsst fire analogy, but my point is the intellectual infrustructure of the left rests on flimsy (unscientific) foundations of human equality between races.  The entire leftist movement would crumble if these were removed. 

Once this is removed, the charade ends. Economic models supporting mass immigration on the basis of numerical units of man (interchangeabililty of races). These are discredited. The pillar of economic need for immigration is removed.

Disparate impact legislation and court decisions could be disproven on a scientific basis.  The goodies end. Race hustling losses profitability. 

Race based legislation becomes normative on the basis of scientific findings. 

Etc etc. 

What&#039;s more, those on the left know this. Research and analysis in this area is censored and those who would persue actual science are ostricised. You&#039;re run of the mill lefty supports the left as a fashion statement. They want to look smart and popular. They mostly want to NOT be the &quot;Dumb, ignorant, redneck&quot;.

Once science comes around, the tide will shift and shift quickly. Those who would be elitists don&#039;t want to appear stupid, arguing against scientists on issues they could never fully understand.  They&#039;ll drop the left&#039;s flag like they dropped bellbottoms.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I pity the leftist who thinks all who disagree with him to be inhuman monsters. I defend his right to loudly oppose freedom of expression. As the low-class american right was painted as subhuman evil, it does not serve to see the same said of the twitter-class left should the tables turn. We&#039;re all just people who want what&#039;s true and good. Or at least what&#039;s good.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beyond pitying, we in the reaction have an obligation to build a society that keeps OUR next generation safe from the tragic and myriad ways that modernity will pull and twist at the lives of the children growing up now - children who could still be equipped with a mindset that lets them see modernity&#039;s false promises for what they are and build something better.

I really hope the Hestia team will consider the concept I&#039;d like to pitch them on. I believe it could shift the tide and give your children a fighting chance. It&#039;s been years since I last asked, but please: pray.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Miserable beings lacking agency are ripe for pity, as Mr. Hoyle observes, because they are not responsible for their suffering or that which they inflict upon the world. Once upon a time, it was surely proper to feel pity in the way that Mr. Hoyle suggests. But that time has passed. What’s called for now is a cleansing, and if we allow ourselves to empathize with these modern monstrosities, we will diminish our thede’s willingness to strike the killing blow when it becomes necessary to do so - &quot;

I hear ya.  I did not mean to suggest we go soft on the ball washers of the left.  Rather, the paradigm I&#039;m suggesting here is more about marshaling energy.  There are a great many progressives who really are pitiful pawns.  The real &quot;killing blows&quot; should be focused on the Nick Dentons, not the Gawker readers.

(For the record, I maintain that empathy in the truest sense is important here.  The word empathy has been maligned to mean &quot;feel the pain of the biggest victim&quot;, while it truly is much more.  Empathy is simply understanding another being&#039;s true emotions and motivations, whatever they may be (hate, lust, anger, etc.).  This makes empathy the cornerstone of any strategy.  &#039;Play the man, not the cards&#039; is empathy.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Most white men are like creatures from the Galapagos Islands who lost the ability to defend themselves through lack of competition. They are weak and can’t afford the luxury of pity.&quot;

This is worth repeating. Pity is something you feel for beings so far beneath you that they pose no threat at all, much less an existential one. Miserable beings lacking agency are ripe for pity, as Mr. Hoyle observes, because they are not responsible for their suffering or that which they inflict upon the world. Once upon a time, it was surely proper to feel pity in the way that Mr. Hoyle suggests. But that time has passed. What&#039;s called for now is a cleansing, and if we allow ourselves to empathize with these modern monstrosities, we will diminish our thede&#039;s willingness to strike the killing blow when it becomes necessary to do so. The cancer must be purged, or we are all doomed.

The only morality is civilization.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One if the many casualties of gnostic immanentism was the possible liquidation and sale of the Detroit Museum of Art. It was eventually saved by wealthy whites who stepped in with $100 million or so. Blacks (like all modernists) have zero interest in European culture so they didn&#039;t care. Yet they greedily fought for power, the power to destroy our cultural artifacts and civilization.

Feminists, blacks and queers do not deserve our pity. Most white men are like creatures from the Galapagos Islands who lost the ability to defend themselves through lack of competition. They are weak and can&#039;t afford the luxury of pity.]]></description>
