When are you going to understand where truthfulness and victimhood abides in this war?

Posted by Thorn on Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:20 | #

Both the Russians and Ukrainians are victims in this unnecessarily orchestrated proxy war. When will you understand that Western oligarchs/interests are sacrificing millions of Ukrainians for their declared purpose of weakening Russia? Of course, Zelenskyy could care less what happens to the Ukrainians - why would he? He’s probably happy to see his goyim enemies killing each other. Nuland too. Or have you lost touch of reality?

If I had to choose just one thing to expunge from the dissenting right’s comprehension of Moscow’s struggle for global power, it would be the slavish, disfiguring anti-racist-style over-reach of criticism of the west.  Nothing has done more harm to the moral and intellectual standing of the political constituency to which I belong than such reaction, and nothing is less relevant to the generation - finally - of an historically-agentive nationalism.

Your premise is wrong. Moscow is not struggling for global power or dominance.

Lest we forget, most in the Americano managerial class believe white supporters of MAGA constitute the greatest domestic terrorist threat (They even compelled President Biden to declare it in a nationally televised speech). To arrive at that conclusion, it must be noted that both the Obama and Biden administrations relied on the SPLC as their primary intelligence gathering source.

This morning I put up the following comment at PA:

Nationalists have utterly failed to understand the scale and existential gravity of the struggle in Ukraine for all of us. Why? Because it occurs beyond the considerations of globalism, neoliberalism, neo-Marxism and systemic liberalism generally, which have long constituted the enemy of nationalism in the west. A victory for Muscovy in Ukraine and Moldova and the Baltic states, and potentially Poland and Romania, will smash to pieces everything that we hold to be good and true, including democracy and any possibility of our peaceable political break-through. A Russo-Chinese hegemony will not tolerate a reborn European creative genius. It will not tolerate what we understand in our very bones to be human freedom. It is simply weak and ignorant to expect our enemies to be destroyed but not us, or to pretend that this vast confrontation between the principle of force and that of the people’s will – for that is the true nature of it – will somehow fall out just the way we would like. In consequence, we do not gain the slightest political advantage by meekly smiling upon the authoritarian Eurasian mind as it turns to re-making eastern Europe in its own image, or the even more oppressive Asiatic mind which will come next and re-make the world.

We are ethnic nationalists, English, Scottish, Welsh, European. We have no friends to the east.

Of course these remarks will not be understood because they do not originate on Telegram or from some YouTube artiste.  They do not repeat all the Muscovite talking points which have been drilled into the lumpen, unhappy masses of the west.  “Hate your masters”, the driller says, “Hate enough and you will not feel so abused and powerless.  You may even feel special.”  Said lumpen masses duly completely miss the driller’s motives, and immediately fall to chanting his “points”.  The driller is correct.  They do feel less abused and powerless.  The feel themselves in possession of a special “truth” that explains the whole world of their powerlessness.  How good is that!

Except, none of the driller’s “points” are true.  In his world and for his purposes, truth has nothing to do with anything.  For the driller the only important thing is that the lumpen losers do as they are told.  The only important thing is power.

Obviously, the driller and, indeed, all his friends on the edges of Russian military intelligence are more intelligent than the lumpen ones.  So clever are they, they don’t even have to do the work of suggestion themselves.  They have many willing helpers in the upper reaches of the dissident right in Europe and America, and these people are only too pleased to rail against “the west” and generate clicks and income while they are at it.  No questions asked.  No thinking necessary.  Blind reaction?  Yes, please.

Meanwhile, high in the cool, blue skies of authentic geopolitical analysis nobody ... absolutely nobody ... devotes a single millisecond to the “points”.  Here, everyone has an IQ over 124, and can not only gather raw data for themselves but organise it relationally and conceptualise its trajectories and histories.  A very few of them, who have not been overly damaged by the age in which they live, may even be able to search for durable principles and weigh those trajectories and histories accordingly.  It is a different world.

Dear Mr Smith,

One of the strangest occurrences since the Trump admin entered office has been the reaction to the possibility of a Ukrainian peace settlement. While the new White House has been pushing for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, many pseudo-powers like Germany, Britain, Australia, France, Canada, and so forth have been counter signalling heavily.

This has grown in intensity since the recent White House meeting between Trump and Zelensky.

For the first time since 2023, the ‘stand with Ukraine’ rhetoric is now being espoused constantly by many of these national leaders. In fact, the response to Trumps proposed end to the war has been nothing short of a meltdown by European leaders. Why is that? Well, there are multiple reasons, and all of them are more absurd than one would assume.

A BAD DEAL?

To start with, one must consider the current rhetoric being espoused to justify prolonged involvement in the conflict. This is rhetoric, not reality, but it is still worth noting.

Currently, there are three major arguments for a continued war in Ukraine.

1. The first are a combination of various interest groups in the US, who believe that Ukraine represents a crucial tool in enacting the disastrous Wolfowitz policy— a policy which I believe had the veneer of legitimate geopolitical strategy, but in reality, was an esoteric vengeance tool driven by ethnic hatred for Russians (stemming back centuries).

2. The second group are the Euro-centric right; this is a far smaller, mostly irrelevant but vocal group comprised primarily of naive or outrightly stupid nationalists who believe that Ukraine represents some sort of continuation of ‘the Reich’, and that the Aryans (Slavic Ukrainians) are holding off the Asiatic hordes (Slavic Russians). This comes from a comically simplified view of revisionist history in which the entirety of the Ukrainian nation and identity can be summarised as ‘SS Galicia Division’, or something…

3. The third and most important group are the neoliberals in Europe. These comprise (as has been made evident lately) every ruling party in Western Europe, both major parties in France, both in England, both in Germany, the Low Countries, the Baltics, and so on. In fact, in France, Germany, and England, all ruling parties hold the belief that unanimous support should be afforded Ukraine, and that the war must continue at all costs.

These European neoliberals are driven not by one, but by several important factors which legitimise the Ukrainian cause in their eyes. Before starting this list, it is worth noting broadly why Ukraine represents a neoliberal tool.

It may easily be that sub-120 IQ folk, when of the dissenting right, simply cannot escape the Jew thing, the globalism thing, the anti-western thing and parse the world with some semblance of historical fidelity.  But, as a rule, if (a) philosophy’s evolution in time, and (b) the will of peoples of the land are absent from this or that commentary, and not working in tandem, then you know you are dealing with one of these benighted dullards.  One cannot save these people from themselves.  They will not have it because they actually believe that their grim account is the truth.  Not only that but their voicing of it ad infinitum makes them “special”.  They lock themselves in their ideological closet with all their friends, and jointly affirm their rightness.  They have not the slightest idea how one really approaches these very rare moments in time when the world changes before our amazed eyes.

Just out of curiosity, GW, what would be your estimate of Donald Trump’s IQ ... within a five-point range? Would you consider him a global change leader or not?

Posted by Guessedworker on Sat, 08 Mar 2025 18:32 | #

Well, the point I am trying to make (ie, that a certain quality of mind “may even be able to search for durable principles and weigh [current] trajectories and histories accordingly”) would be completely lost on a utilitarian like Trump.  But then it is lost on most politicians, and on all the “proxy war” believers, obviously.  For the latter there is no over-arching contest of philosophical and political principles which occurs beyond their beefs with their own Establishment.  Everything has to be explicable by said beefs.  So here we are still hearing constantly about neocons, say, notwithstanding the fact that back in and around 2007 Bill Krystol Jn was telling anyone who would listen that neoconservativism was dead.  Real history races by, but the MAGA crowd stand there railing at something else.  It’s frustrating to me because this is my own political constituency throwing away the opportunity to be relevant for the satisfactions of a pointless public outrage.  Reaction is a closed loop, always coming back on itself.

I might add that I am not alone in such conclusions.  Daniel complained about the relentless WN focus on “the left”.  When Ted Sallis was at MR (as JW Holiday) he complained about the dead weight of WN argument in general.  To some extent it is a consequence of American individualism as a radically equal model.  Everyone has their say, and everyone’s say is equal.  The reality, of course, is that they’re not at all equal.

Collectively, Trump and his cabinet seem to straddle the IQ 124 gateway to abstraction.  Some probably know everything about the shift from democracy to autocracy.  Some probably know something.  Because of personality flaws Trump himself is quite difficult to pin down.  I don’t think he is one of the ones who know “everything”.  But he knows enough.  Say IQ 118-120 at a pinch.  By way of comparison George Bush Jn’s Sat score was 125.

The average IQ for teachers and solicitors is 135. My late wife decided to show off by taking the MENSA IQ test. The MENSA test is regarded as the “gold standard” in the UK. The test consists of two one hour papers and is strictly invigilated. The test is designed to determine how quickly problems can be solved. In short, the more questions that can be answered correctly, within the time scale, the higher the IQ rating. My wife scored an impressive 135, impressive because she didn’t enjoy the best of starts to life, being orphaned at the age of thirteen. This, however, left me with little choice but to take the test myself. Thankfully, I beat her, with a score of 155, which, according to MENSA, put me in the top 2% , which I found genuinely scary, given that there are a lot of lawyers in the Commons.

I was 30 years old when I sat the MENSA test. My score today would likely be lower as age takes its toll, there is no denying that. I’m eight years younger than Trump,  so my estimation for Trumps IQ would be around the average !00 - and actually that is not bad for a 78 year old. Biden , was well , Biden’s ghost really. I like to think that although the 70 year old me isn’t as “smart” as the 30 year old me, I’m   I am wiser. Wish I could say the same about Trump, although Trump still has a very hot wife - with a pulse- yet still prefers B- list porn stars. I’m going to have to apply what’s left of my mega IQ to resolve that !

“George Bush Jn’s Sat score was 125.”

Really? I didn’t know chimpanzees could score that high.

“the IQ 124 gateway to abstraction.”

For people of native European descent an IQ score of 125 would place you in the 95th percentile, meaning they are in the top 5%.

Daniel tested at 134.  Soren tested at 154, I think he said.  A few months ago I employed a fifty-year old carpenter for some work to our place, and he turned out to be an ex-teacher who had been formally tested on some psychology course he had endured.  His score was 152.  None of these examples suggest too much correlation between being able to think about a good life and living one!

Anyway, on the subject of IQ reduction with age, my sense of it is that it’s only a hardware problem if and when there is brain shrinkage.  I do think that related processes can be slowed by other things, not least the sheer volume of data and connections which pile up and which, for me, explain memory issues.  It simply becomes harder to select the required data.  Also, there is a tendency for natural individuation to separate one from others psychologically in non-trivial ways, and that throws one back upon oneself, creatively speaking.  Is it a surprise that rock musicians in their youthful pomp create as a group, with perhaps everyone contributing, yet past a certain age the creativity ends?  Most of them seem to spend their later performing years reworking the creations from their twenties.  Finally, energy declines.  The optimistic, opportunistic, forward-leaning address of youth, full of ambition and purpose, does give way to a more measured approach.  But that isn’t the same as a decline in the ability to think.

Nobody knows how much capacity they have really lost over the years.  A tested differential only yields a couple of digits typed on a sheet of paper; and there is no test for the creative capacity or, ASFAIK, any commonly agreed definition for creativity.

Someone’s IQ is dependent upon the robustness of their genes that mark for and determine intelligence. The smartest amongst us are gifted with robust genes while others not so much. It is clear that the aging process naturally has an impact on mental acuity. However, good nutrition and a sensible cardiovascular exercise program can indeed slow this process down.

At any rate, my main interest in the subject of IQ is figuring out the best way to explain to brainwashed whites that blacks’ intellectual inferiority is not due to racism; rather it’s due to their biological inheritance - it’s genetic. White “conservatives” and white “liberals”, for different reasons, categorically reject the genetic explanation. They fully support the nurture side of the nature vs nurture debate; they consider the nature side to be “racist.”.... lol .... idiots!

Thorn note: The average IQ for medical doctors in the USA is in a range between 120 and 125. The minimum IQ threshold to become an attorney or engineer is ~ 115 give or take a couple points. Any person with an IQ of 134 possesses the intellectual capacity to pursue just about any profession they so choose.

As the question was about Trump’s IQ, here is something for you to consider…..

Trump obviously doesn’t care for Trans and given the above and his current weltanschauung and geopolitics, I wouldn’t care to be a resident of Transnistria or Transylvania.

It is commendable that Elon Musk and his DOGE team are in fact exposing fraudulent activities conducted under the guise of seemingly legitimate research. President Trump is making that point by highlighting some of the most egregious examples. Because he may have gotten it wrong in one instance does not reduce the magnitude of the problem of government fraud and waste.

My guess is Trump has an IQ in the range of 125 to 135, which is ideal for top executives in large corporations. This range indicates sufficient intelligence to comprehend and resolve complex issues coupled with the essential ability to make quick decisions without being burdened by the analysis paralysis which is often seen in individuals with genius-level IQs. Of course, Elon Musk (IQ 155) is an exception to this rule.

Any white person alive today who supports ‘the left’ or the leftist agenda, is either mentally ill or mentally retarded - incomprehensibly foolish and self-destructive beyond any hope or vindication. 

Sweden’s Globalist Left Pushes for State-Mandated Multicultural Neighborhoods

Former Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, leader of the left-globalist Social Democrat party, has thrown her support behind a radical proposal that, if enacted into law, would see the state mandate the redistribution of migrant populations from alien cultures into areas with higher numbers of native Swedes.
