I... don't think that's ironic. Isn't that just obvious?
You know, I spent a bunch of time in Toronto, which is one of the, if not the, most diverse cities in the world... and yet, tiny Athens Georgia, known mostly for its College Football team, produced a much more lasting cultural phenomenon than Toronto ever did -- REM, Neutral Milk Hotel etc. But hey, you can get good Ethiopian food in Toronto.
Disclaimer: this is a bit of a meta-comment; it's not at all trying to convince you of anything. And sorry for the length -- read or not as you see fit. But please read it!
That said, if you are really interested in the truth, then you would read as much as you can, rather than assume that you miraculously stumbled [on] some truth that somehow no one but hardcore neo-Nazis thought of before. If I found some discrepancy [...] I wouldn't badger random people to explain themselves about why they believe it's in 1066, I'd look into it more and try to see if there is any literature addressing the matter.
Ah... but this is the problem. I mostly lurk here because I'm not interested in badgering randos about 1066! Here, consider the following...
I'm sure you're familiar with Thomas Kuhn's 'Structure of Scientific Revolutions' wherein, as a counterpoint to positivism, he posits that Science (and Academics, really) advances from one paradigm shift to another, and scientists trapped inside a paradigm can rarely see outside of it. Another way of putting it is that science advances one funeral at a time...
Well, the dominant paradigm of holocaust scholarship is that (a) the holocaust happened and we require no proof of it. This is supported by the letter in Le Monde in the 70s where a few dozen holocaust scholars said that (paraphrasing) 'we will not investigate the technical feasability of the holocaust -- its technical feasibility is proven by the fact that it happened'. It's also supported by the fact that...well... they never talk about it. Okay... so much for objectivity. The 'scholars' simply look into camp conditions, train schedules and, obviously, the 'psychology' of the NatSocs etc.
My paradigm is: I don't care if Hitler ate babies, all that I care about are the technical details. And I've not uncovered 'one' discrepancy... it's that there is not one part of the holocaust that is feasabile in any way except the disposal of the ashes at Auschwitz. I've spent years reading about this and only about this (I mean, I read other things, like Manga etc). I only have a basic general knowledge of the Beer Hall Putsch or Reichstag Fire etc... so I have nothing at all (cogent) to say about whether Hitler or NatSoc were good/viable.
This is why I don't engage randos. A paradigm shift requires a combination of a slow build-up and a kind of Zen moment. Once you understand that the technical feasibility of the event has to be established, at least in broad lines before the Hannah Arendt stuff can be validated... then you're forced into the same conclusions that I came to. Otherwise you're back to the 'Hitler hated people schema' which... well, whatever.
It's like when I explain Quantum Field Theory to people. I have to say: 'okay, but I really have to start a few decades back, so this will take a while. Just accept everything for the next hour, and it will all make sense'. The people that stick with it appreciate it.
And, by the way, I don't hate individual Jews at all. As an engineer, I know tons of them. For me, they're a bit like Italians and Greeks -- phenomenal people, but way too social for me. I'm better off with the northern folk or Americans.
Last Chance U is about American Football players who are effectively barred from the big universities (Longhorns, Michigan etc) and who then go to very small community colleges to try to make their way back -- the best example of success is Cam Newton (who is not in the show).
Most of the players are Black, but some are White. You can literally see the cultural and intellectual differences in real time. The show makes no comment about it, and I'm sure the show-runners would be appalled that I say that. The difference even extends to the marching bands. In one season they switch to a more Black school, and the difference between the Black drum corps and the White ones is... astonishing -- but neither is better/worse.
The show also gives a beautiful document of (dying) small town White/Black Americana (in different seasons). It's a fantastic palate-cleanse of all of the artificial 'racism' that's driven by the media/academia, and never by real human beings.
If you're into American Football (you've mentioned that you're Oklahoma/Texas, so odds are that you are) it's one of the best things you'll watch. It's full of wonderful human beings with disparate talents and disparate outlooks on life.
Ah... those last two paragraphs might be the best description of women I've ever seen. Actually, the whole piece is -- I think if TheImp could internalize this, he'd realize that he's only talking about women who've moved out of the schema you describe in your 2nd to last paragraph.
Thanks.
About your 'German cat' story... let me try to explain.
KIA2 is a very civil and friendly board. I'm mostly a lurker, here since the beginning of the 'win', and I really consider all of you my 'internet buddies'.
So... I'm sure you remember 'mattress girl', famous for her histrionic false rape claim. Personally I would consider it perfectly civil for a buddy to say: "I hope that bitch gets violently raped so she knows what it's like to have her life ruined." Sure, I wouldn't say that at work, especially if I were a politician. But I think that you would accept that as an appropriate response to the story -- if we're among buddies.
Getting back to Yarvin... there are some people here that are on the fence about the 'Jewish Question'. There are also people, like me, that are 'stormfags'. Now the difference between 'on the fencers' and 'stormfags' is that... we stormfags know (know, not think) that the holocaust didn't happen.
Now -- I'm not, at all, trying to argue that point, I'm just asking you to accept it at face value. We may be stupid, deluded idiots, and I'm sure you think we are. But I will ask you to accept one thing: all of us were either (a) jew-positive; or (b) 'on the fencers'... until we found out that the holocaust didn't happen. Then we became stormfags. It didn't happen the other way around. Please just accept that as a 'thought-experiment'.
So if I were to say something storm-faggy, like 'Yarvin should be gassed and burned', I'm just expressing my exasperation at the continuing (myth) of the holocaust. I'm not being uncivil.
Similarly, when you call us stupid stormfags, you're effectively expressing your exasperation at the fact that we're too (racist, stupid, misguided) to accept the holocaust as FACT.
Unfortunately, this is a chasm that can't be breached. I would love to sit down with someone like you, face to face, and tell you my thoughts and then have you say 'ah, but here's where you're wrong'. I would, honestly, tip my hat to you. But every time that I've tried that, I just get: 'you're a stupid racist etc...' This despite the fact that all I ever talk about are the floor-plans of Auschwitz/Treblinka etc, and logistics. I'm just genuinely astonished that the (myth) is accepted as truth.
Anyway, we're all brothers here (except Bulbasaurous!!), and it's sad that there's no real way to put this issue behind us, one way or another.
Trans and BLM really aren't close at all. With trans, 95% of us realize that it's ludicrous, but we largely remain silent for various reasons.
With BLM... well, I grew up in Canada/USA and I never had problems with Blacks whatsoever. But, always met either (a) Blacks like you; or (b) Blacks at the airport etc. And all of my Black friends were in category (a). Furthermore, Black culture pre-1990 was awesome! We all loved Sanford and Son, James Brown, Prince etc, and all of them were doing wonderful things that no white person would ever independently create.
The inner city Blacks that people here call 'niggers'... I had absolutely zero idea that they existed. So I would have found this board insufferably 'racist'.
Curiously, the show Last Chance U (Netflix) was one of my biggest eye-openers, despite me finding all of the Black people on the show extremely sympathetic.
Ah... thanks for this response. The last half of your first long paragraph was particularly illuminating. I've become so cold to the value of politics that I'd forgotten that there was a time where there really were differing opinions and outlooks on life.
I guess it's time to actually read some Sowell, rather than just casually listening to his Hoover Institute interviews, and thinking that he's just basically re-iterating a common sense that the world seems to have lost.
No 'stormfag' hates all jews. That's just insane. There are a group of you guys (you, Gizortnik, Imp) that are constantly straw-manning that sophomoric idea. Why? You can't possibly feel clever saying something so ludicrous.
Oh, and I dislike Glenn Greenwald, not because of the jew thing, but because of the gay 'parent' thing. Although I'm sure that he, in particular, is a great parent.
As a former normie -- we really didn't know about Blacks. It was only when I got on 4chan, and they were posting easily verifiable things like the most-wanted list of Toronto, of all places, and every one was black. And then murder rates, and rape rates and the knockout game...
Ha!
But seriously... I'm in a 3rd world country. In Latin America I get 'in' with the gangsters/cartels, and they'll protect me if something goes down. Here, the cartels don't talk to me, so ladyboys are the next best things. I can tell you lots of stories about ladyboys helping people. Chicks won't do that because (a) I'm not chad; and (b) they're not bros.
