Scott is a voice of reason here. Driving away center left liberals from the woke is very important. A liberal will automatically discount what a conservative says but when it is one of their own they listen.

This is why Ana Kasparian changing her views about liberal/leftist crime policies around bail/pre-trial release, police funding, sentencing laws, prosecution/trial phase is important. They won't listen to conservatives, but they might listen to Ana with an open mind.

Pardon my alt right sensibilities and I appreciate the article - this kind of writing is always welcome - but what triggers me about it is the who/whom. Regular white guys have been complaining about this for years, and complaints are dismissed until leftist Semites start complaining, years later. I don't think Savage and Co actually cares about the discrimination per se, rather that his fellow ethnics have been gentile'd.

A cursory view of leftist discourse stretching back at least a decade will reveal that Semitic bonafides and 3 bucks will get you on the subway. In fact, the former might even give you enhanced chances at some real cultural enrichment during your commute.

A significant cohort on the right seem to be leaning into this sort of thing and forming a pan-Orc Rainbow Coalition with antisemitism as the only semi-common denominator to ride the wave. To what end, I'm not sure

I'm familiar with the question after years on the Internet. The best theory appears to be "Big Semite/Little Semite". The little ones are people like everyone else, just middle class people trying to make their way. Savage would be one of that group. Little Semites are the vast majority of the group,, although they also fall into patterns of desired occupations/etc. Big Semites are guys like Soros with play money to shape the world around them.

The issue is that Big Semites exist disproportionately in places of influence and outright power for most of the 20th century. Want to get a bulk order from a factory? The owner has a higher than normal chance of being a Big Semite. Get a Hollywood movie produced? Personally, I would ask about a nephew's recent rite of passage that wasn't a baptism or communion if the goal is to get work done. Modern globalist governments are shaped around Semite culture, not WASP. People are noticing because things are going south. Noticing is almost forbidden when things are going well, which has been most of the 20th century. Further, we've come off of an almost enforced taboo in the late 20th century, where active praise of the group was a requirement at all times in all societies. It's a little bit too easy to argue that all of the US government, regardless of political leaning, has been bought off almost entirely by Big Semite. That wasn't going to end well. We're now in reaction phase. It is what it is.

Generally speaking, it appeared that Big Semite that ran Hollywood threw the little Semites away for virtue signals. I kinda wondered how it would end. It apparently ends with people who have benefited from "color blindish" policies starting to tear down the whole system.

I call this winning over the Bill Maher wing of the left. I always wished Bill Maher could see articles like this and bring this up on his show Real Time with Bill Maher. His audience is the type we want converted.

Exactly. They would also be easier to convert to the Right on crime policies. Liberal/leftist soft on crime policies around bail/pre-trial release, police funding, sentencing laws, and prosecution/trial phase do not hold up to scrutiny.

Sometimes I like to engage in a little blackpilling and conspiracy-peddling, as a treat. But you're right. The goyim have taken it too far. The RW really needs to start retard wrangling. I voted for Trump to end the insanity, not to breed more of it.

Movements need both moderate and extreme wings. The left had them too, in its ascendance in the 60s and forward.

Yessssssssssss. Thank you for giving voice to my frustration on this. I agree with all the critiques of Savage as a lukewarm, proud member of the ''Leopards Eating People's Faces'' party that just got his own face ate, and yet I immediately saw the potential of the piece to percolate our ideas in the normiesphere without any of the unfortunate baggage that usually allows them to reflexively dismiss our points. This is a great puncture hole in the Overton window, and should be applauded as such, no matter our distaste for the obsequious tenor of the message and its mildly limp messenger.

Well then, Scott, you have your camp and I have mine. We will see if "White Obama" does anything to address our problems. I am in the camp that says it won't because these were systemic problems and the "wisdom" of the Collegiate Right is largely to say we can't change th system without affirming it first. Basically the "nudge" concept but from far right to mainstream. I know this won't work because it's "elites" are people like Lom3z and they do a much poorer job of what they are supposed to be doing than people I know with zero following. When I say this sentence, faux-elites like the previously mentioned who want to endlessly pat themselves on the back for Doing Well in College, interpret this as le nietzchean ressentiment from someone who is just delusional. No. It's real. You don't know what a real meritocracy would look like and if you saw a glimpse of you most likely would vomit and die and become the most die-hard SJW ever. I will call your thing PC 2.0 because that's all it is. May the best man win.

this is recommended on general principles, and particularly for defining Savage as a wokester who bought into the very mentality that screwed him, and still seems to largely believe in it .

'Scott, your point about the far right subscribing to delusional and counter-productive conspiracy theories is wrong, and I'm going to prove it by linking this video of a delusional and counter-productive conspiracy theory!'

Haha. I'm not sold on their entire theory and they are too Christian for me but I am going to do more research about these people. Human nature has people exalting themselves to get more power and more control. Who has the power today and what are they doing with it?

That's true about human nature, but it's easy for us to observe and discuss the real, existing incentive structures that are exploited for power today without diving into the ultra-detailed theories like 'elders of Zion', 'Noahide Laws', etc. That kind of theorizing tends to alienate people the right would prefer to convert.

This essay reads, I'm not as bad as those racist radicals. Listen to me. You might be in a developmental step.
