YKW, Universities & The Big Business of Selling Talk

Posted by DanielS on Wednesday, 04 May 2016 19:14.

Universities are big business. They are in the big business of selling talk. But sometimes facts are facts and there is not a lot say about them. That raises a problem for the big business. After all, there isn’t much to say about mere facts obvious to everyone. However, if the university can distance students from a prima facie response to facts, they can increase the commodity of talk, its trade and the people capable of trading in it. Furthermore, it might help students to develop critical intellectual reinterpretations which might do them and the world some good through a broader social negotiation of how facts may count - that’s the ostensible idea, anyway, by being given this stuff to say. They sell it to undergraduates who pay in order to develop things to say through a critical view of society and their place within it. Whereas if something just is or just is not, that’s the end of argument, not much you can do about it nor about people’s response, needn’t be a whole lot of discussion, not much to debate, not much to say, no conversation - end of the talk business..

The YKW are equipped with a history of cultivated pilpul - highly developed rhetorical and verbal hair-splitting skills - that is accompanied by a knowledge of the necessity and opportunity in argumentative defense of the identity of oneself and one’s people; with that equipment, they have been notoriously successful in this big academic business of selling talk - it has reached its sine qua non in “critical theory”, by which theory of no theories for Whites, they have been able to sell talk while dismantling White defense. White Nationalists have some critical idea in defense of that now. However, they do not tend to realize that they are being mislead away from helpful theoretical apparatus by its widespread distortion.

Social consructionism is actually quite a useful tool for identity politics as it permits of things that mere facticity does not ensure, i.e. coherence, accountability, agency, warrant, broad perspective and social resource to reconstruct historico-systemic human ecologies.

However, through the talk that the YKW sell, they don’t want Whites to have that. Despite its value and with its appeal they have rather abused, misrepresented and distorted the concept beyond all reason - beyond the non-Cartesian mandate from which the concept of social constructionism was born, to where they’ve got ordinary people talking crazy and thinking that what it - social constructonism - means is that you can imagine yourself into being whatever you want, facts and other people’s understanding of the facts be damned.

I will only briefly note that there is nothing anti-Cartesian about taking such a view - it is as Cartesian as it gets. There is also nothing social and no social construction to saying “you can be whatever you imagine.”

In truth, the questions in these interviews are solipistic in nature, not social consructionist, as students are being asked if self creation (not social consruction) in spite of facts and other people’s understanding is good and possible.

However, it is not my purpose to lecture further, it is rather to have a fun look - it is funny - to see what this big university business has done to confuse these poor undergraduates at Södertörn University in Sweden. They are asked:

Is it important to decide your gender identity?

Am I biologically a man?

What would you say if I told you that I am a man?

If I say that I am Japanese, what would you say?

If I would like to be a cat and treated like a cat, then what?

What would you say if I say that I am two meters tall (6’6)?

What if I were to say that I am seven years old?

If I feel like a seven year old, should I get to date seven year old boys and girls?

Can I enroll in primary school again?

What does identity politics mean for you?

Students at Södertörn University in Sweden were asked absurd questions about identity prerogative and struggled to display the eloquence of their talk skills in response; what they displayed markedly, however, was that they were on the confused receiving end of YKW rhetorical distortions.

And not so funny if bizarre solipsims are relied upon to interpret these identities:

TNO, “88,300 ‘Minors’ Invade Europe”, 3 May 2016:

Some 88,300 nonwhites claiming to be “minors” were part of the invasion force which landed in the European Union in 2015, according to new figures released by the EU’s statistical agency, Eurostat.

Around half (51 percent) of the invaders classed as “unaccompanied minors”—that is, below the age of 18, claimed to be from Afghanistan.

The numbers are a dramatic increase over previous years, the Eurostat figures revealed. Previously, the number of “unaccompanied minor” invaders stood between 11,000 and 13,000 over the period 2008–2013, but then in 2014, the numbers doubled to slightly more than 23,000. This figure then nearly quadrupled in 2015.

A substantial majority of “unaccompanied minors” were males (91 percent) and over half were aged 16 to 17 (57 percent), while those aged 14 to 15 accounted for 29 percent, and those considered to be aged less than 14 for 13 percent.

Of course, these estimates are based on what the nonwhites themselves claim, and as previously shown, large numbers have lied about their ages in order to qualify for extra benefits and speedier processing.

In 2015, the highest number of “asylum applicants” considered to be “unaccompanied minors” was registered in Sweden (with almost 35,300 “unaccompanied minors,” or 40 percent of all those registered in the EU Member States), followed by Germany (14,400, or 16 percent), Hungary (8,800, or 10 percent), and Austria (8,300, or 9 percent).

“Refugee unaccompanied minor” Saad Alsaud is reported to have been the fastest 14-year-old in Sweden, dwarfing younger boys and girls in a running event.

Radical authoriality, to appear to the self as a contingent fact of the human will, demands a prescriptive approach to the social in order that the appearance be sustained and not challenged by the public perception of facts. The prescription might be described as a form of construction, but it isn’t really. It is a form of a general oppression in service to the tyranny of the individual. Thereby, the entire liberal process, ie, the ordering of the self as a freed entity, without confines, becomes an affront to the public perception of facts - on the basis of which, let it be said, we must ordinarily discriminate for the adaptive life choice. In this way that saying which Soren Renner got from somewhere about liberalism being the struggle against the struggle for existence ... that becomes another hard-to-deny fact!

The core of the entire dilemma is the romantic but narcissistic notion that in one’s choice one faces oneself, exactly thus:

There can be nothing else but life’s flat, featureless tabula rasa, and certainly no public perceptions of the topographic facts.

What a shocking comment it is, too, on the liberal conception of freedom that its fundamental character is a surrounding emptiness of the self. It is expected to be enough for human beings to have this freedom to, so to speak, pass through Amarillo or Flagstaff, or California or Canada. The experiential range is so very obviously confected and impoverished beside the true richness of life, which is got through real consciousness, love and belonging; none of which are available to the liberal will - as we see when liberals resort to legislation to coerce people to accept homosexuals, blacks, Muslims as their own true kind but homosexual, black, or Muslim. Everything about the world, everything about human being outside of the liberal self must be flat.

GW, I’m not entirely comfortable defending homosexuals - because I am not one and I don’t have a vested interest in their cause other than as a kind of barium against right-wing absurdity.

That is, should they be ranked along with Muslims or blacks?

I understand you in this context as saying that homosexuality should not be promoted as positive construction, to where it is promoted beyond its natural manifestation as an inauthentic and maladaptive life choice for those other than the small percentage who are born that way.

But when I start to hear right wingers reel off sentences that include blacks, Muslims, Jews, White genocide and homosexuality in the same sentence, I have to congratulate myself for sense enough to see how out of register that tacking on the homo issue is.

My current understanding is that a certain percentage of homosexuality will happen in populations. Especially because there will be that small percentage, I believe it is best to be a little accepting of the fact as natural authenticity is our purpose. They can work against us or they can help us. I can imagine that they’d have motivation to help us as they’d be better off not living among blacks and especially not among Muslims, who are infinitely more a threat to us, as are Jews - who will use them against us if we are too right wing regarding homos.

Again, it is barely a question as to what you are better off with in your town - a White gay bar, a black bar or a mosque?

I am not comfortable with the male ones in particular but then it is not a problem because they do not so much as try to solicit my attention. So far as I can tell, they mainly become a problem to us when politicized by Jews. All the more reason not to give them that one, and unreasonably place them in the same sentence as Muslims, blacks, Jews and White genocide.

My comment does not discuss homosexuals or homosexuality, Daniel, but liberalism’s (or, more precisely, Critical Theory’s) exploitation of them as an hegemonic weapon.

The question of the actual status of homosexuals within a naturalistic view of the European kind is a quite separate matter - and one, in fact, that we have paid little attention to down the years (probably because it is so unremarkable).

Thanks for that clarification, GW, we should have our priorities straight and I can agree with that.

DAILYKENN.com—A Somalian “refugee” won’t be deported, even after being convicted of raping a young woman in Sweden. The African doused the woman in lighter fluid before raping her.

The woman was on a fishing trip when the attack occurred.

Meanwhile, in America, white people are considered racists if they commit undetectable micro-aggressions.

I’ve heard some negative thing said about the late Sam Francis. Alex Linder says that he produces “young fogies.” ...and if Alex doesn’t like him but Jared Taylor does like him, that probably means that he is generally pretty soft, probably too soft on the J.Q. However, this 2004 speech of his is quite thoughtful regarding the difficulty with which Whites have taking their own side and organizing themselves.

A Swedish police report into rape and sexual assault committed by migrants has blamed “Nordic alcohol culture,” “ignorance” and the “non-traditional gender roles” of European women for the growing problem.
