Refute (or counter) the following:

(said in a discussion with another white in a coffee shop)

So basically all you care about is that your children, and your great-grandchildren and so on and so on, will have blue eyes and fair skin? Thats all that matters to you? Because I really don’t care.

Statements will be evaluated for conciseness and overall “snappiness”.

A brief addendum

: It was suggested on the last Snappy thread that these posts be continued in the likely event of ex-PF being called away.  That seems like a worthwhile aim.  But since we all encounter the other side’s arguments, many of us on a daily basis, I’d like to invite offerings from any readers who come across a particularly well-engineered one.  Just mail me through the contact button under the banner.
Thanks very much, GW

What lasts forever? Well, the mineral composition of the planets has a pretty impressive longevity.  The constellations of stars, with their long-forecasted death dates, make an impressive claim on time. The tendency of leftist philosophers to acknowledge the changing nature of the universe with a shrugging admission that everything is immutable, and the search for transcendent order thus useless, is a relatively fixed and unchanging pattern, albeit newly emergent.

The knee-jerk leftist shrug of “I see no transcendent order, so there can be no compelling imperative inherent in circumstances” pressages the inevitable return to resigned live-for-the-moment hedonism: you can continue chasing your tails gentlemen. Its all just as meaningless as we set out to prove it to be.

Looking to the cosmos is really a step too far considering that our evolutionary environment only knew the heavens as a playground for our ancestors’ anthropomorphizing imaginations (if one assumes, as I do, that a transcendent order has to be rooted in our existence and being, rather than in that of a creator). We may want to touch “forever” and play in the grandest theater accessible to us, but objectivity demands we stick to the facts of human life and ask, rather than what lasts forever (since we ourselves do not last forever): “what is always with us?”

The media are part of the ideological caste and, unless they are brave or honourable, keep “sensitive” issues from the public or present them in a way favourable to the elites. The highest sensitivity is reserved for race, then gender and sexual orientation.  The EU promotes this ideology. The news reporting is managed, and EU and UN schemes to discriminate against whites are kept from the public. People cannot revolt against something if they do not know it is happening. So what is really happening?

Throughout Europe there is a developing war on the streets for possession of the continent.  This is mainly aimed at us European people but anti-Semitism is coming back too.

British Muslims are not only burrowing into our institutions and undermining them from within, they are beginning a war in the UK AND they are fighting against our troops in Afghanistan.  EU rulers know this but still encourage immigration to build up their numbers.

How realistic is the New World Order: or is Globalisation beneficial?  In an outstanding article of 30 Jan 2009,  Patrick J.Buchanan talked of the Globalist fantasy and what is really happening:-

A commentator at American Renaissance had the following to relate about his time studying at MIT, regarding the differences between the study habits of Asian students and the study habits of white American students:

“Part of this may be that Asian males are brought up with more exposure to abstract principles with beauty in them, and aren’t told that beauty (at any level) is sissy. The MIT Asians seem to be more likely than the MIT white males to grow up playing piano or violin rather than football.”

I suspect the commentator was Asian, because his comment is full of negative evaluations of the mentality and study habits of whites vis-à-vis Asians. Typically one allows oneself negative generalizations about those outside one’s perceived in-group.

Rather than be bothered by the racial slander inherent in the comment, I think there is some criticism of contemporary western culture here that really ought to be stomached. Namely, we have become increasingly anti-intellectual in our cultural attitudes.

If I could summarize in a line the attitude of post-1960s western culture, it would be this: we have achieved this blessed state of material bounty, lets just enjoy it.

Enjoy it.

Nothing more profound than that: an injunction to partake of the bounty of the white man’s accumulated wealth. Surrounded by loved ones: Mother State and Father Television, Uncle Movie Theater and Auntie Shopping Mall.

For several days now I’ve been pondering how to write about Channel 4’s Red Riding, the three full-length films adapted by Tony Grisoni from David Peace’s four-part cult trilogy of that name, of which the final part was aired on Thursday 19th March.  The obvious difficulty is that few MR readers will have watched it, or will understand references to the plot or the characters.

That isn’t entirely insurmountable.  The Channel 4 Catch-up pages are still live here.  But I can’t seriously expect readers to invest six hours of their life watching a British TV drama, even one of this quality.

So … how to cover the essentials and get to the political point that I want to make about this ostensibly non-political drama?  I don’t want to revisit the entire narrative, which would probably take you another six hours to negotiate!

Well, let’s see.  Red Riding has a complex plot intelligently constructed from fictional and non-fictional elements.  The storyline follows the lives, the struggles, the deaths, often violent, of a cross-section of Yorkshire humanity as they are impacted by three interwoven criminal enterprises: the corrupt actions of a clique of senior police detectives, the disappearance of four young girls over a period of 14 years, and the real-life murders by Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper.  The usual suspects are there - the driven investigative reporter, the corrupt and murderous policemen, the amoral property developer, the rent boy, the trusted but paedophile priest.  The period (1974 to 1983) is beautifully observed.  The seventies feel of the first film, particularly, will be recognisable to anyone who, in adulthood and preferably young adulthood, experienced that PeeCee-free, incomparably tatty, oddly enervating decade.

For presenting the entire ouevre without the mandatory black computer genius or inexplicably popular female Asian policewoman ... without, in fact, presenting any non-white as other than entirely peripheral, fleetingly visible extras … for allowing the characters, at least the coarser ones, to refer to non-whites as “wogs”, the writer and the directors of each film have my admiration and gratitude.  That’s film verité.  That’s the life we had in the seventies.  With Red Riding, correctness has triumphed over political correctness.

Refute (or counter) the following, while maintaining conversational tone and diction and a minimum of verbiage (preferably several sentences length).

(said by an Indian student in a western University setting):

The British conquered us and ruled over us. They came to our lands. What goes around comes around.

Refutations are evaluated for conciseness and “snappiness” i.e. ease of wielding them.

Refute the following, while maintaining conversational tone and diction and a minimum of verbiage (preferably several sentences length).

(related in a dinner table discussion of miscegenation):

The Anglo-Saxon people are actually a mongrel nation anyway. All those Jutes, Angles, Normans and Celts, we’re all such mixed up mongrels.

Refutations will be evaluated for conciseness and overall “snappiness”, i.e. the ease of wielding them in everyday convos with average people.

Maybe, after all entries are submitted, we’ll take a vote as to whose was best.

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled, and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.

Jonathan Swift: A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Ireland from being a Burden to their Parents or Country, 1729.

Some proposals for solving particular problems of the day may have all the merits of logic on their side, assuming one acquiesces to facile assumptions and glib premises, but their conclusions are so outrageous that the proposal must be treated as satire.  Or God help us.

In our current circumstance of economic crisis – housing bubble burst, busted banks, bankrupt states and municipalities, exploding government liabilities, depression waiting in the wings (or hyperinflation or hyperinflationary-depression) – and those are only the manageable problems, to say nothing of the trashing of the West’s 500 year hegemony and the transfer of wealth and power to Asia, and China in particular – various proposals are being mooted that formerly would have been whispered only by conspiracy theorists or dismissed by sober minded people, or treated as satire.

To wit, the ones I’m familiar with, that the (US) government will force all holders of 401k and IRA plans (private, ‘self-directed’ pension plans for non-US readers) to accept zero-coupon government bonds in exchange for the assets in their accounts; these plans representing perhaps the single largest untapped source of wealth for the US government.

The other modest proposal, and the subject here, is the idea that the US should solve the problems of housing (primarily the vast excess supply of housing relative to current demand – the supply ‘overhang’ ) by giving any foreign person a US green card – i.e. an immigration visa – in exchange for their purchase of a housing unit.

One house, one immigrant – and his extended family.  Very neat.
