Hungarian-Polish Media Strategy Pops Up in South Carolina

This law is designed to show the hypocrisy of the media's anti-2nd amendment push.

This South Carolina Republican Wants to Create a "Registry" for Responsible Journalists

The bill, proposed by Republican state lawmaker Mike Pitts, would establish vague requirements for journalists to submit to a registration process by the state. Journalists found in violation of the registry, by either not registering or breaking his rules, would be subjected to monetary fines and even criminal penalties—a lighter version of how the Kremlin treats its own pesky champions of free speech. As the Post and Courier reports, quoting Pitts, the Secretary of State’s Office would maintain a "responsible journalism registry" and create the criteria, with the help of a panel, on what qualifies a person to be a journalist—similar to the licensing for doctors and lawyers.

"It strikes me as ironic that the first question is constitutionality from a press that has no problem demonizing firearms," Pitts, a lifetime NRA member, said. "With this statement I'm talking primarily about printed press and TV. The TV stations, the six o'clock news and the printed press has no qualms demonizing gun owners and gun ownership."

If it was illegal to publish lies, the left-wing media would have to close up shop. The Narrative is a fiction created by the left to manufacture public opinion.

Poland Learns From Hungary's Purge of Progressives

It's happening.

BBC: EU ready to fight Polish media law amid row over values

Polish MPs have approved a law giving the government direct control over top appointments in public broadcasting.

It undermines free speech, critics say.

...The PiS says new managers are needed at the top of state institutions because the previous centre-right Civic Platform party allowed corruption to flourish.

The PiS is also Eurosceptic, firm on traditional Catholic values and committed to increasing social welfare spending.

Comparisons have been made with Hungary, whose conservative Fidesz government also clashed with the EU Commission over human rights.

This is part of the major rightward shift in politics that has only just begun. All of Eastern Europe is drifting away from the Washington-Brussels model of transnationlism towards nationalism.

The Economist: Poland’s new government dislikes critical media, vegetarians and cyclists

SINCE parliamentary elections in October, Poland’s far-right Law and Justice party (PiS) has controlled the country’s presidency and both chambers of parliament. It has spent its first two months in power tightening its grip over the security services, the constitutional tribunal and the civil service. Now it is purging the country’s public media. On December 31st parliament ignored a letter of concern from the European Union and passed an amendment to Poland’s media law that sacks the management of the public television and radio broadcasters, TVP1 and Polskie Radio, and empowers the treasury minister to appoint their successors. Meanwhile, as Poland moves closer to Hungarian-style illiberal democracy, the European Commission is warning that there may be consequences.

The Economist is not happy:

The new law is just the start, according to its authors. The next step will be to turn the public media into “national media”, said Krzysztof Czabanski, the deputy minister responsible for media reform. Yet the problem runs deeper. Poland lacks a clear notion of the “public media”, says Jan Zielonka, a professor of European politics at Oxford University. Under communism, the state media simply gave a megaphone to the ruling party. Many politicians today would like a similar arrangement.

A good argument were it not for the fact that the media is filled with communists.

This is the beginning of a major political realignment in the West. The foreign policy battles are not between nations, but civilizations. The progressive-transnationalists of Brussels and Washington have proven incapable of defending Western values. Domestically, the central issues are identity and core values. Liberty versus Equality, Christianity versus Secularism, homogeneous culture or multicultural.

The Economist isn't happy:

The Polish government’s efforts to defend the new law have only made things worse, creating an impression of amateurism. In a January 3rd interview with Bild, a German newspaper, Witold Waszczykowski, the foreign minister, condemned Poland’s previous centre-right government for pursuing a “left-wing” political agenda: “As if the world, in a Marxist fashion, were destined to evolve only in one direction—towards a new mix of cultures and races, a world of bicyclists and vegetarians.”

Not amateurish at all. Though it contains a rhetorical jab at the end, the first part is a clear and concise rejection of the ruling ideology in the West. It shows that Poland understands the battle in the same way that Orban in Hungary understands it. Calling the centre-right party "left-wing" is what is happening in the United States with the internal fighting in the GOP, the rise of "cuckservative" and the ascendancy of Trump. The U.S. is far more liberal than Eastern Europe because of its Anglo-Saxon roots. Things will play out differently in the U.S., but what is happening in Poland, if it is as successful as Hungary, will makes its way West over time. The left has been all but eliminated as a political force in Hungary:

Backing for Fidesz increased to 31 percent in September from 30 percent in June and 27 percent in April, polling company Szazadveg said in an e-mailed statement on Thursday. Support for the radical Jobbik party dropped 2 percentage points in the last five months to 15 percent. Support for the Socialists, the third most popular party, stayed steady at 8 percent.

A more recent poll:

Target the media and judiciary and the Cathedral can be defeated. The media may be the key: it cannot reproduce without control of the Narrative. When one debates progressives and leftists, are you not struck by their lack of understanding? Basic science, history and economics is sorely lacking from their arguments. If most progressive support is simply manufactured consensus, the herding of rabbits in their warrens, then destroying their microphone and reforming the judiciary to not allow them a way to block you, may be all that is needed to end their 150 year run. They melt away as the communists melted away in the former Soviet Union.

Moly and Whittle on Trump & Immigration

Perfect Example of Exhausted Left

No better example of left-wing craziness than these two article on the Daily Beast, side by side. Without fresh ideas to carry it forward, the progressive left suffocates like a shark, killed by its own rhetoric. Identity politics can carry a movement forward if it has achievable goals, but once its goals are gone, all it has left is identity. The KKKrazy Glue works at keeping a coalition together to pass the Affordable Care Act, but if there's nothing on the horizon, then the only thing left is the KKKrazy Glue. At the same time, the white reaction to KKKrazy Glue is to become a "white supremacist." I don't know how things are where you live, but regular folks who hold regular, safe political views, are saying things that are unrefined alt-right talking points. An average mom, commenting on the student protests at Missouri said to me, "What white privilege will my daughter ever have?!"

Daily Beast: Rush Limbaugh’s Favorite New White-Power Group

At the least, Roy was strategic; he got America’s most-listened-to talk radio host to obliviously thumbs-up a white supremacist movement. What Roy left out of his interview is that the alt right is a neoreactionary effort comprised of right-wing agitators brought together by their opposition to immigration (in particular, Hispanic and Muslim immigration), animosity to Muslims, and general opposition to multiculturalism (they call it cultural Marxism). They hate political correctness, they like Donald Trump, and they love dubbing their enemies “cuckservatives.”

The very next article on the Daily Beast website (at the moment if you scroll down from the first, you get this): Brown University Professor Denounces ‘McCarthy’ Witch-Hunts

The progressive left is creating its own nightmare. The KKKrazy Glue puts everything into a racial lens and see most right-wing opposition as "white supremacy." In the next year or two, the white supremacist movement will have grown from maybe 50,000 or 100,000 people into a "white supremacist" movement of 50 to 100 million people. The left is brainwashing itself into insanity.

Unbearable Whiteness of Being...a White Democrat

It appears the tipping point has been reached for White Democrats. The events on college campuses show White Democrats cannot handle changing demographics. Due in part to their youth worship, but mainly a result of their anti-white Cultural Marxism, White Democrats are being removed from power because they are the nearest expression of White Privilege. The Democratic Convention is going to be in Philadelphia, well within driving distance of the New York and Baltimore Black Lives Matter groups. Maybe not this year, but eventually Missouri will repeat at the Democratic Convention. As in 1968, a watershed moment will come when the White Democrats who aren't completely dedicated to racial politics are removed from power. The rump of progressivism will be left to carp in the remaining media outlets they control. Those will quickly fall afterwards as there will still be individual profit from feeding Whites to the alligators. Those that remain will fade into obscurity as the Old Right faded in the wake of World War II.

The battle with #cuckservatives and the battle between Trumpkins and the GOP Establishment represents the emergence of new political battle lines. The GOP Establishment spends more time arguing with Tea Party/conservative base/alt-right than it does arguing with the Democrats now. This is not because the GOP Establishment is being pulled Left nor that they were always Left, it is because the bulk of the GOP is being pulled right as the left rapidly descends into pure identity politics. Changes in time preferences will take care of the rest as the left increasingly focuses on short-term issues. It is already a rolling riot act, shifting from one outrage to the next with no coherent vision of the future because it has no future.

Case in point of what is happening, Steve Sailer is quoted at length in a CNN report: Who will you blame once Obama's gone?

The CNN article brings up another point worth tacking on: White Democrats have been suppressing racial politics to some degree because of their Liberal White Supremacy. They use racial politics as a cudgel, but also temper it and put it into the language of White politics. As the White Democrats fade, the buffer layer between the races is being taken off. Social media plays an increasingly large role in politics. The gatekeepers and journalists are surprisingly stupid, but the base of the Democrat party even more so.

America Needs Safe Space Laws

Tachyon transmission of future Wikipedia entry on Safe Space Laws:

Safe Space laws are state and local laws enforcing diversity and tolerance in the United States. Enacted after the Obama presidency, these laws continue in force to this day. They mandate de jure racial segregation in all public universities across the 50 states. The impetus for the laws were the fact that conditions for African Americans were consistently inferior and underfunded compared to those available to white Americans. The safe space laws institutionalized a number of economic, educational, and social advantages for historically oppressed minorities. De jure segregation mainly applied to the universities and government facilities, while private segregation was generally de facto.

Safe space laws mandated the segregation of public schools and required safe public places on the basis of race and gender, while the segregation of restrooms was sometimes based on race, gender or sexual orientation, or a combination of two or more factors. The U.S. military was also segregated, as were federal workplaces, initiated in 2016 under President Obama, the black president ever elected. His administration practiced racial discrimination in hiring.

These Safe Space laws attempted to redress white privilege in America, which had previously restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans. Integration of public (state-sponsored) schools was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in 2020 in Homer v. Board of Education, which upheld that whites could be excluded from Safe Spaces as long as there were equal facilities available. Generally, the Safe Space laws overruled the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but years of action and court challenges were needed to unravel numerous means of institutional discrimination and white privilege.

The Retards of the West

Science has proven that progressives are retarded, but after the attacks in Paris, their amygdalas have really gone haywire and pushed some into full retard.

First the half-tards at The Economist: How to fight back

The battle against Islamic State must be waged on every front

Deport all Muslims, burn their cities to the ground, degrade their infrastructure, completely destroy their war making capability?

IS bases its terrorism on a vicious calculation. It believes that successful attacks will inspire the would-be Muslim radicals that it is trying to recruit. But it also wants to provoke a backlash in order to convince those same radicals that the world despises them and their religion. In February IS propaganda described a “greyzone” in which some Muslims’ loyalty is divided between radical Islam and a country where they do not feel that they completely belong. IS wants terrorism to drive Muslims out of this greyzone and into the black-robed embrace of the Caliphate.

There are Muslims in the West who do not subscribe to jihad and recruiting from this pool makes more sense then trying to send in jihadists from abroad. The truth of the matter, however, is that the greyzone people are either apostates or heading towards apostasy. They are bad Muslims who are either on their way to becoming Westernized or who will fall back into Islam. By framing it the way The Economist does, it will push more Muslims into jihad because it will preserve their Muslim identity. If instead the response is to push harder for assimilation, more people will move away from Islam. The sound strategy is not to cut off all Muslims (unless a nation is serious about deporting most or all of them), but to give them a choice of Westernization or radicalism. Then deport the radicals. A policy of de-Islamization can work, but it is impossible with the current multicultural mindset of the ruling progressives.

There's more stupidity in that Economist piece, but I'd rather turn to the full retards at The Atlantic. The Empathy Gap Between Paris and Beirut. The new Narrative is: how come Western people are upset at a terror attack in a Western country where terrorists attacks are rare, but not upset at a terror attack in a Middle Eastern country where terror attacks are normal?

It’s become a predictable pattern: One act of violence in the world overshadows a similar, concurrent violent act, inviting a backlash against this imbalance in scrutiny, sympathy, and grief. But that predictability doesn’t make the pattern any less distressing. Each time there’s a major terror attack in an American or European city—New York, Madrid, London, Paris, Paris again—it captures the attention and concern of Americans and Europeans in a way that similar atrocities elsewhere don’t seem to do. Seldom do events line up so neatly, offering a clear comparison, as the bombings in Beirut and the rampage in Paris.

This is troublesome (of course!).

White Democrats Wake Up to Their Extinction

Obama Legacy in State Offices: A Shrinking Democratic Share

But even some supporters say that Democrats face a major challenge in cultivating a new generation of politicians able to reach beyond the Democratic base and speak to white voters, especially white men, in states around the country. Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico from 2003 to 2011, said he was very worried by the absence of successful Democratic candidates positioned to move up, especially in the South, as well as in swing states like Ohio.

“We are losing the white male vote in droves, and we’ve got to appeal to the white male with stronger economic themes, inequality themes,” he said. “We have to find a way to do that, but what is key is recruiting more white male, and women, candidates. We can’t just become the minority advocate party.”

Now is the time to push right. All the Democrats have is demographics. Take that away and they are finished.

The Media Is the Enemy

In our atomized culture, the media greatly affects how you see the world.

People who think Trump is a racist who will lose the Hispanic vote have high contact with Cathedral Media.

People who get most of their political information online or from more conservative sources, think Romney lost because white conservatives stayed home.

Some #cuckservatives and conservakin are people who still watch "mainstream" media. Their "peer group" is the Cathedral.

The CNBC debate is a teachable moment for the alt-right to get the message out.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus is a moron for outsourcing the Republican debates to the Cathedral.

The gap between the media and DNC is similar to the gap between the State Department and Justice Department.

The media did not fail to do its job on Wednesday night; they did their job.

The media failed because it got caught doing its job.

One way to push the Overton Window to the right is to silence as much Cathedral Media as possible.

The best way to "silence" the Cathedral is to turn it off.

Many people are not smart enough, or won't take the time, to see the media pushing the Narrative.

The best way to get people to turn people off the media is to lower the social status of Cathedral Media and its consumers.

Also: Cutting Loose

That old time civic religion was not without its virtues. For all its artificiality, it led us safely through the perilous last years of the 20th century huddled safely ’round the glowing screen. You can still visit it in its pristine state when you visit some of the elderly, among people who have no use for the Internet except to pay their bills online, and who rely on broadcast and cable TV for everything else.

There it survives in full force, like a living museum where the past still lives. If you sit in the parlor, the TV programming comes insistently through the walls like it did in 1990: 24 hours of breaking news on global warming, expanding government, and feel-good stories about the miraculous powers of acceptance.

Stamp Act Riots

From the increasingly unuseful wikipedia:

The Stamp Act 1765 (short title Duties in American Colonies Act 1765; 5 George III, c. 12) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain that imposed a direct tax on the colonies of British America and required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. Printed materials included legal documents, magazines, playing cards, newspapers and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies. Like previous taxes, the stamp tax had to be paid in valid British currency, not in colonial paper money. The purpose of the tax was to help pay for troops stationed in North America after the British victory in the Seven Years' War and the French and Indian War. The Americans said there was no military need for the soldiers because there were no foreign enemies on the continent, and the Americans had always protected themselves against Native Americans. They suggested it was rather a matter of British patronage to surplus British officers and career soldiers who should be paid by London.

The Stamp Act was very unpopular among colonists. A consensus considered it a violation of their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without their consent—consent that only the colonial legislatures could grant. Their slogan was "No taxation without representation." Colonial assemblies sent petitions and protests. The Stamp Act Congress held in New York City, was the first significant joint colonial response to any British measure; it petitioned Parliament and the King. Local protest groups, led by colonial merchants and landowners, established connections through Committees of Correspondence that created a loose coalition that extended from New England to Maryland. Protests and demonstrations initiated by a new secret organization the Sons of Liberty often turned violent and destructive as the masses became involved. Very soon all stamp tax distributors were intimidated into resigning their commissions, and the tax was never effectively collected.

A Sensible Version of Donald Trump

This will mean doing some things Republicans like. We’ve got to devolve a lot of power from Washington back to local communities. These neighborhoods can’t thrive if they are not responsible for themselves. Then we’ve got to expand charter schools. The best charter schools radiate diverse but strong cultures of achievement. Locally administered social entrepreneurship funds could help churches and other groups expand their influence.

This will mean doing some things Democrats like. We’ve got to reform and expand early childhood education programs, complete with wraparound programs for parents. They would turn into community hubs. Infrastructure programs could increase employment.

Basically we’ve got to get socialist. No, I don’t mean the way Bernie Sanders is a socialist. He’s a statist, not a socialist. I mean we have to put the quality of the social fabric at the center of our politics. And we’ve got to get personalist: to treat people as full human beings, not just economic units you fix by writing checks.

Then we’ve got to get integrationist, to integrate different races and classes through national service and school and relocation vouchers. And finally, we have to get a little moralistic. There are certain patterns of behavior, like marrying before you have kids and sticking around to parent the kids you conceive, that contribute to better communities.

Look, I don’t know if I’m red or blue. If you want a true outsider, don’t just pick someone outside the political system. Pick someone outside the rigid partisan mentalities that are the real problem here.

This is what the house conservative at the NYTimes thinks is a palatable centrist opposition. Who is he talking to? The managerial class.

The gap between the people and the government is as wide as it was in 1765. There is no conversation going on and the supposedly smarter, well informed people are the most clueless.

Why Progressives Fear Trump, Red Pills and NRx

Donald Trump and Neoreaction: Why what he represents must be buried permanently

Trump is unique in part because he has also defined himself in opposition to "political correctness". The purpose with this is not to further any particular law or policy; the effect is more subtle. The purpose is to fight back against strides in social decency that have been made in recent decades.

...Any policy stance he takes is intended to force his opponents into awkward and hypocritical positions, weakening them. It should be a warning sign that his so-called "progressive" stances show far less prominence in his tone than his views on immigration, foreign policy, and "political correctness". And when Trump gets stronger, he emboldens his base. The people who view Democracy as a disease, and see women as tools for their own carnal pursuits, see their positions as gaining ground and are encouraged to push them further.

Kos isn't worried so much about Trump's policies as his tone and assault on the very weak progressive edifice that was built by cultural Marxists and is maintained by SJWs.

"Social decency" is a dog whistle for anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-male, anti-family views. The left must fight extremely hard to create "safe spaces" because the valuable terrain is whatever straight white males have created. They are invaders who need to put up barriers to entry in order to maintain an artificial status quo. Trump is a threat because he threatens to take all their bricks creating walls around "safe spaces" and stack them on the Mexican border. If Trump detroys political correctness, suddenly every office in America becomes a battlezone of free speech once more, a zone where the white male statistically punches above his demographic weight.

The Kos article shows the face of the rabbit. What really strikes fear in heart of the progressive is being outgrouped. They laugh at the idea of black and Hispanics voting for Trump, but he only needs to make small percentage gains, while pulling in white voters, to win a landslide. Once in office, it's clear he is more popular with blacks in terms of likability. Culturally, Trump will head a diverse coalition of anti-PC fighters. Progressive whites are pure distilled whiteness, they are more white than even white nationalists because they take white cultural traits to pathological extremes. An anti-PC Trump will make anti-PC acceptable, and this scares the rabbits because they will be outgrouped as overly sensitive, humorless, white people.

SJWs do not spend all their time on policing speech and thought for no reason. They seek total control over the public space and total obedience to whatever is the politically acceptable position of day (which could reverse tomorrow). They are rabbits seeking ingroup status because they are fundamentally insecure. There is safety in being as far on the inside of the ingroup as possible. Trump is the greatest threat because there will be no more safe spaces. Gamergate and the Puppies have shown SJWs' grip is fleeting when challenged, but a president Trump could put them on the defensive everywhere.

Nixon Critiques the Debate

The Nixon Post-Debate Phone Call

"Let's stay on topic. This proliferation of candidacies sows the seeds for the eventual nominee's failure. Whomever emerges, unless they absorb all of Trump's support, will have less than half the base voting for them in primaries. Compare 2012 and today with 1980, 1988 or even 2000. Having so many candidates hurts party unity and November turnout. It's all of the same donors and virtually all of the same policies. They just shifted dollars from Cruz's SuperPAC to Carly Fiorina's. It is all a game like market testing. Have you seen her talk?"

"Botoxed to Buddhist serenity. I still don't quite like your Warren talk now compared to earlier this year. She's white. She's also kind of transracial and phony like Rachel Dolezal. Have you seen these black lives matter activisits harass Sanders? He's old school socialist. This is why I don't see them holding it together long once the bills come due. Social Security's bankruptcy was moved up to 2033 now!"

"It is glorious. Absolutely beautiful to watch that cocksucker who worked with those agitators get shouted down by their descendants. Freedom Rider gets shouted at by blacks who think Freedom Rider is a rapper. He is actually getting the treatment he felt was righteous when directed at good ol' Southern boys. Communist. Some animals eat their young for they know how truly horrible is their being. I wouldn't want to live in an Eastern city when the dollar collapses."

"Dark, Nixon. I think there's something afoot. This could be an opportunity for massive realignment."

Coal Jobs Decline As Renewable Jobs Increase

Interestingly, despite the massive swing between job loss in the coal industry and job creation elsewhere, there is very little geographic overlap, and this comes down to several factors, says Pratson. “The areas where a lot of coal is mined in Appalachia, for example, are very rugged and heavily forested — not easy places to set up solar panels or wind farms.”

There are differences in the availability of state incentives for renewable energy as well, noted Haerer. “States with incentives have more growth,” he said. “The southeast is incentive-free, and there is almost no development of green energy there compared to other regions.”

Progressive solution: destroy middle class, high skilled jobs, then tax the hell out the area to fund make work industries that go to crony capitalists and raise the cost of energy for all the other middle class folks.
