This probably can’t be addressed but isn’t there something missing?
Previous post? I deleted it b/c I’m working on something. Wanted to keep that info for myself for the time being.
Oh good.
PA–
Hey, I know you read Larry Auster fairly regularly. What’s the secret with being able to comment over there? When I hit the comment button no comment box pops up.
We have such a fucked-up relationship with food in this country. The fact that your mom made you “clean your plate” and that people constantly give you food and it’s rude to refuse (I didn’t even notice this until I started watching what I eat) probably contribute alot to our shocking obesity rate.
Now we’re going to charge people for not cleaning their plates? Why not…let’s see if we can reach 80% obesity!
You have to email Auster to have your comment posted per his discretion. There is a link on his site that works if you have Outlook.
I generally like Auster’s site, but it dawned on me awhile back that it’s one of the least-visited blogs in my bookmarks, because of his odd commenting procedures. There’s something about an undated, curated exchange that turns me off, somehow.
I can’t even really explain it why it bugs me, but it’s like this nagging feeling that I may not be seeing all the content there eventually will be to see. You don’t even know what, if anything, has been added ’til you click over to a post’s own page. I know the same stuff applies to a regular old comment section, but there’s just something different about it in that format.
Speaking about Auster, every day a new post appears there citing a new savage and unprovoked attack by multiple blacks against a single white, sometimes two posts a day.
WF Price, I like you man, but tell me again about this “golden rule”?
As every “Protect Your Neck” listener knows, even the Wu-Tang recognize that mountain climbing is a white man’s thing.
PA nailed it in a comment at OneSTDV’s (the software is eating comments, so I’ll reply here.) The implicit content of that article is almost certainly sour grapes over the fact that alpha-but-liberal white rock climber guys don’t want to hang out with her.
When I was young and stupid, I was involved with the left-wing protest scene at a major American university, so I can confirm that outdoor sports types (rock climbers, through-hikers, whitewater kayakers, etc.) are the apex alphas of college liberalism. Fit, tanned and charismatic, they stand out easily from the beta/omega herd of effeminate hipsters, sloppy burnouts and neurotic libarts dorks that makes up the majority of the male undergraduate left. And, of course, they have their pick of pussy until they’re ready to pair off with a willowy, fair-haired hippie girl.
I first read this post on my phone during lunch, and when I went to the original article there was a plaintive, revealing comment from a hippieish white girl that went something like “of course racism is bad, but climbing is my one chance to relax and be myself, so do we have to drag all this political stuff into it? Can’t we all just get along and have fun?”
I went back to the post just now and the comment’s been scrubbed, but as I remember it, the subtext was pretty clear: hanging around with climbers was the one place that she didn’t have to worry about policing her words and thoughts for potential race/class/gender offenses. There’s an interesting point about “implicit whiteness” right there.
“There’s an interesting point about “implicit whiteness” right there.”
I’ve made elaborate arguments about SWPL being a stealthy, defacto white nationalism. It is a form of resistance to the prevailing powers that’s associated with a jannisary class: a captive people who are afforded a generous but strictly circumscribed set of privileges by their masters.
Now, whenever I use the term WN, I don’t necessarily refer to people who are openly race-realist. I use the term, lower case, on the premise that every white person under the sun is a white nationalist when you go by their personal choices.
SWPL is in fact so stealthy, that members of the subculture don’t even recognize what they’re doing. What better way to fly under the radar than to conceal your intentions even from yourself.
Some 15 years ago I read Czeslaw Milosz’s classic “The Captive Mind.” I was relatively naive to things at the time. It’s time to re-read it.
Something to add about reading: in my mid and late twenties I went through a phase of reading a good deal of history and political philosophy, of reactionary or anti-Communist character:
Paglia’s “Sexual Personae,” Harold Bloom, Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago” (which made a profound impression on my mind), Arthur Koestler’s novels and two-part autobiography (every intelligent person must read “Darkness at Noon”), and various works by Czeslaw Milosz. Also middlebrow but useful books like Rush Limbaugh’s first book.
Thing is, at the time I read all of that as interesting stuff about things that happened in the past. It seemed, in the mid-nineties, that we indeed were over all that, which was history.
PA–
Thanks.
A progressive site on the prospect of charging restaurant patrons for food that they don’t eat.
What?
In fact, if I think about it, I realize that to me, feeling completely free *not* to eat all the food in front of me is one of the pleasures of eating out.
By the way, I always enjoy your restaurant-themed insights, Chuck. I’ve never been a SWPL-type restaurant connoisseur, which makes me even more reflective and observant when I do go out to eat.
so I can confirm that outdoor sports types (rock climbers, through-hikers, whitewater kayakers, etc.) are the apex alphas of college liberalism.
Yes, and thanks for tacitly acknowledging that rock-climbing is a SWPL sport. It was several years ago that I asserted that it was – can’t remember where, maybe on my own blog – and people disputed me, I think partly because there’s resistance to conceiving of SWPLs as ever being really athletic or alpha. Well, they can be, in a minority of instances.
