Instead of looking up white ethnostate or ethnocracy on wikipedia you have to do deep research to understand the true nuance of the terms. I recommend you take a course in Intersectional White Genocide. Perhaps you could study scholars like Faith Goldy or Lauren Southern too.

If I have to write up an incident report I have to use the precise words that someone used. I can't say 'He called a member of staff a ******' or 'He used the N-word'. That statement might be used as evidence in court if the situation escalated.

There's a use-mention distinction. Using the word 'nigger' is not the same as mentioning it. When you are using the word you are referring to a person; when you are mentioning it you are referring to the word.

You can't offend a word.

You can only really understand the nuances of the word in the original Straylian. It loses the beauty and poetry of the original when translated into English.

Well indeed. Just imagine if the retard squad had tried that approach and attempted to soberly pick apart his arguments, instead of firing off air horns in his face. Maybe Peterson wouldn't have become quite so infamous and not made so much money on his book.

The guy should have taken the case to an industrial tribunal and called all the white witnesses to give a statement.

'So, what was it you heard me say?'
'The N-word'
'It's not wrong to say 'The N-word.' You just said it yourself.'
'No, you said the actual N-word.'
'No, I didn't. And saying 'The actual N-word' isn't wrong anyway.'
'No, but you actually said the N-word itself.'
'Saying 'the N-word itself' isn't wrong either.'

In my day only the C Class was allowed to use the word they were defining in their definition.

I’m looking for the specific characteristics that Kirb is alluding to when he throws that word around. Especially when trying to leverage it against my concerns.

But thanks for putting in the effort.

" *br*c*d*br* "??

But yeah, "magical power of incantations" indeed. Kind of a preliteracy fear of words, of having a "spell" cast oneself (c-a-t, d-o-g). Certainly a bit of "magic" in the concept - "In the beginning was The Word ...", but people have to be pretty fragile, at best, to be seriously discombobulated by words themselves.

Unfortunately though, it seems that far too many are in that state of affairs. Or maybe just careless. Consider Wikipedia's article on Violence:
Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation" ...
So, "psychological harm" is on par with "(physical) injury" or "death"? That's the WHO for you; your tax dollars at work. But far too much tendency for all and sundry, even by those who should know better ... ;-) , to be redefining words willy nilly with virtually no acknowledgement of different contexts; equivocation at best.

Kiwi Farms is taking a lot of stick for it. TBH, I think this poor unfortunate had so many issues - and with so many people - no-one's ever really gonna know what drove her over the edge. In any case, it's made it to some major news outlets: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -fire.html

It's looking pretty precarious for Kiwi Farms at the moment - it seems it's become the scapegoat of choice in this whole sorry affair.

Apparently ethnonationalism is like communism. It's advocates think it can cure everything but it's so vaguely defined that when presented with an actual example of the hell that is an existing ethnostate they can say 'No, that's not what we meant, and you are going to have to define an ethnostate for me, because you have to tell me what it is before you can tell me it won't work.'

Her self immolation wasn't her fault. She was so, so mentally stable and didn't possess any of the obvious markers of the mental illnesses that cause people to set themselves on fire. This is all GamerGate's fault. She doesn't at all fit the markers of the common mental illnesses of the crazies. There are no keywords that prove she was crazy as shit.

"Chloe was brilliant and rarely got a chance to show it," friend AJ Luxton said in an email. "She created enchanting video games, she built things, she volunteered with Habitat for Humanity after Hurricane Katrina, she taught herself to read despite severe dyslexia."

"Sagal was a game developer and artist who struggled with mental illness for many years. Her friends say she loved dogs, forged authentic weapons and made haunting music when she was able to. They say she was proud of her Romani heritage and an active socialist."

As far as I understand Sagal lied for money. That's something I think people can legitimately call someone out for, and not have people turn around and say, "But they're mentally ill."

Once again, thanks for the zingers. Ouch. :lol:

It’s still not clear, whether Australia 1977 was an ethnostate, whether Switzerland is one or whether Poland is. Or do we look back to Nazism or forward to Spencer-land? Do we howl “ethnostate” at any measure designed to readdress the new demographic initiatives?

Feel free to actually address this question at any time.

But a somewhat relevant quote from an old post at National Review:
Laverne Cox Is Not a Woman

Wear a cowboy suit - or a cowgirl suit - and you can be one too. Entirely of a piece with "cargo-cult science".

According to most definitions ethno-state is a country where citizenship is based on ethnicity. So neither Australia 1977 or Switzerland or Poland now are "ethno-states". Nazi Germany (post-Nuremberg laws) and the future hypothetical Spencer-land fit the bill.

By the way Switzerland has football players with ancestors of Albanian ethnicity who are from Kosovo, and who are secular muslims, or from Cote d'Ivoire as members of its national football team. Some "ethno-state".

The problem is that ethno-identitarians, even if they don't explicitly want an ethno-state as it's the commonly accepted definition, is that they STILL want a "primacy" of ethnicity over other considerations. So they paint any influx of non-"ethnic" immigrants as an "invasion" or even "a white genocide" or "the end of the west", they bemoan immigrants who DO integrate within the socio-political background of their host counties as "whites losing their history", they wish to reduce the numbers of non-"ethnic" people living in a specific country as much as possible (ideally to zero in some cases).

The real issue is the focus on emphasizing "ethnic identity" rather than on how to successfully integrate people from different ethnic backgrounds. Are there problems of integration? Sure, of course, and they're not the same problems for all the different ethnic backgrounds. Should immigration be regulated? Of course, according to a series of factors, including housing issues, work issues, and yes, also issues about integration, if necessary. Should we remove or force leave, or discriminate people who already live in a country just on the basis of their ethnic background? No. Should ethnicity be the meter of judgment through which we evaluate people in general, as opposed to beliefs or behavior? No.

Something to add to your related collection, an archive of a post that had been linked in a Cheong tweet in that series but which seems to have been deleted by its author, transwoman Katherine Cross (though she apparently insists otherwise):

http://archive.is/WvVq7

But what a sad mess though. Bit (??) of a mystery how we develop our personalities, our senses of self, who and what we "imprint" on in that process. And more than a bit of justification for thinking that there are physiological aspects to it that may preclude "normal" development. But hard not to think that pandering to the delusional, that humouring them, just exacerbates the problems those unfortunates have to deal with.

Basically the whole problem with the alt-right is that they're far too obsessed with ancestry or "race", when actually ancestry/race is NOT THAT IMPORTANT. The SocJus is similarly obsessed with ancestry and race to an insane degree.

The best way to defuse some of the issues we have about ancestry is to stop focusing so much on ancestry, and instead address issues according to the common damage they cause, and address ancestry only to de-emphasize its role.

For example the problems of police killings or of lack of access to good healthcare are common problems, experienced by people of all ancestries, even if to different degrees. Lowering the amount of people killed by the police, or increasing access to good healthcare, are good solutions for everyone who can find themselves facing the police, or who needs good healthcare and can't already afford to pay for it, regardless of their ancestry.

Similarly protecting separation of church and state and secularism, striking down religiously inspired laws, criticizing religiously inspired violence or authoritarianism, and reducing the authoritarian powers of religions over society in general, are goals for humanist/atheist organizations, regardless of whether a religion is made up by people of one ancestry or another.

The obsessive focus on ancestry, rather than on institutions, services, rights, laws and their consequences, income, etc., is only dividing people and alienating them from one another. Nothing good comes out of focusing on "ethnicity".

"Culture" works in the same way. Cultures change, evolved through time, mix up, take things from one another, and that's perfectly normal. Fretting about "cultural appropriation" or "we're losing our culture" is a moral panic over something which has happened, and will happen, all the time. A non-white woman that plays Joan D'Arc threatens no one, and is actually a sign that her ancestry matters less to her than her belonging to a country and having a part to play in the culture of that country.

Similarly a white guy who practices yoga, or a white singer who dresses in a kimono, threaten no one, and are only signs of cultural exchange, which is a common phenomenon, just like a Japanese person who reads Shakespeare, or a Nigerian person who loves Neapolitan love songs.

Myers is a joke. He's trying to express his own self-hatred through Woke Politics to look for sympathy points. In the end it's all about him and how he's One of The Good Guys even if he has no Woke credentials in terms of identity. He doesn't really care about anything but looking better than others.

At least some of the Wokes are misguided about the importance of their own ancestry, or clearly delusional about the importance of some of the things they care too much about. Myers is simply a show off, who doesn't research even his own Woke literature, or anything else for that matter. It's all about him and about how he's trying to be virtuous even if he's such a pathetic old white male.

A direct correlation between citizenship and race eh? Or ethnicity I should say, but you do always end up quoting race so the terms are interchangeable in your posts.

You sure you want to run with that? It’s incredibly narrow, basically there are no ethnostates anywhere right now ....

Given I’ve never argued for this link (and in fact argued for 10-15% diversity and/or 70K immigration a year), well I’ll accept your apology for your past juxtapositioning of ethnostates and “Brive”.

Personally I would have gone with the far broader “A political unit that is populated by and run in the interest of an ethnic group".

But then. You know.

Oh look. We have the magically morphing race and ancestry.

And the blanket assertion that “actually ancestry/race is NOT THAT IMPORTANT.” Thank you for that.

Here is a stinging retort. “actually shared culture is IMPORTANT”

And as a follow up, your last paragraph accurately describes the immigrant monoculture more so than the fragmented liberal West. The alt right, mad as some of them are, are the only players on our team in the game.

Tell me. What’s the story with the European Swiss in Turkey seeking to dismantle Ottoman privilege in favour of your liberal utopia. :lol: :lol:

There is no clear border between "ethnicity" and "race". Judaism, technically speaking, isn't a "race", but the Nazis deliberately discriminated against Jews since 1935 in explicitly racialized term. That there are no ethno-states now is a very good thing.

Also you're the one who first brought up the term "ethno-state" in positive terms, saying that you were sympathetic to the idea without defining it, you're the one who promoted ethnic identitarians like Southern, who have EXPLICITLY argued that non-white people in France are going to be "the death of France", or like Mark Collett, who argued that a non-white woman playing Joan D'Arc is somehow robbing white people of their history.

Furthermore, if you think that Switzerland is populated and run in the interests of an ethnic group, when there are roughly 250,000 of people who would be defined as "non-white" in Switzerland, plus roughly 200,000 people from the Balkans, who are "white" but muslims, then you're pretty delusional. A strong focus on integration through social institution and many requirements for immigration to become a citizen do not mean that the country is "ran in the interest of an ethnic group".

Hell, muslims (or at least people who are identified as much) make up 5% of all residents in Switzerland, while only 2.6% of residents in Australia. Yet according to you Switzerland is an "ethno-state" while Australia apparently isn't. :bjarte:

Isn't race based on your ancestry? Barring mutations, it's your parents that give you the genes that you express in your body, and it's their parents who gave them their genes, etc. etc. If your ancestry is predominantly of a certain area you'll end up expressing a certain cluster of genes which give you an appearance (skin color, facial features, hair, eye color, etc.) that is identified as "race". Of course you could have social definitions, like in the US, when one ancestor of non-European origin would make you "non-white", even if you're "visibly white", but this is still related to your ancestry.
And the blanket assertion that “actually ancestry/race is NOT THAT IMPORTANT.” Thank you for that.

Here is a stinging retort. “actually shared culture is IMPORTANT”
Shared culture is not dependent on ancestry. Culture is taught, it's not innate within your genes. If you want to create a better model of shared culture focus on improving integration within shared institutions rather than on defining ancestry-based quotas.
And as a follow up, your last paragraph accurately describes the immigrant monoculture more so than the fragmented liberal West. The alt right, mad as some of them are, are the only players on our team in the game.

Tell me. What’s the story with the European Swiss in Turkey seeking to dismantle Ottoman privilege in favour of your liberal utopia. :lol: :lol:
There's no "utopia" I'm promising, I'm not about creating a "perfect society", only gradually dealing with some issues we have now in our ACTUAL liberal democracies while respecting liberal democratic values. You're the one who's all about chasing a mythical past no matter what.

Do I think that Turkey would work much better, with less inter-ethnic conflict, less domestic violence, less authoritarianism, a better economy, less regressive social structures, if it threw away the identitarian Muslim narrative of Erdogan? Absolutely. Why don't European Swiss move there to improve things? BECAUSE Turkey is an identitarian shithole, even more so these days. There's also no economic reason for Europeans Swiss to move to Turkey.

Many muslim-majority countries are "Muslim states", where islam is given a primacy in law, institutions, society, and all is ran in the interest of a religious group.

The results aren't exactly encouraging. Religious wars, familism, corruption are incredibly widespread in the "muslim states". Ethnic tensions are also tied to the religious tensions, and aren't exactly making things better.

It’s still not clear, whether Australia 1977 was an ethnostate, whether Switzerland is one or whether Poland is. Or do we look back to Nazism or forward to Spencer-land? Do we howl “ethnostate” at any measure designed to readdress the new demographic initiatives?

Feel free to actually address this question at any time.
Here's my definition of an ethnic state: the psychological condition of being a boring cunt continually waffling on about ethnonationalism being a panacea for society's ills but expecting other people to define it for you.

If it means anything other than the delusion that belonging to a particular ethnicity compensates for your inadequacies as an individual, then you fucking define it, then we'll critique it for you, because you are boring the fucking shit out of people.

SJW: Society is breaking down because of individualism. We need communism to give us a sense of shared identity.

Me: We tried communism and it was a fucking nightmare.

SJW: No, we haven't.

M: We tried it in the Soviet Union, China, North Korea...

SJW: They weren't proper communist countries. That isn't what I mean by communism.

Me: So what do you mean by communism?

SJW: You tell me.

Me: It's your solution to the problem, you define it.

SJW: You can't criticise something if you don't know what it means.

Me: I know. That's my point. It's your solution to the problem so you define it.

SJW: Here's an example of the problems caused by individualism: blah blah blah.

Me: You haven't explained how communism would solve those problems. How are you defining communism?

SJW: I'm not going to enact the labour. Educate yourself. Also, patriarchy. We need feminism to address the question of misogyny.

Me: So what do you mean by feminism?

SJW: You tell me...

A big problem of the ethno-state is exactly what is ethnicity. The ethno-nationalists never truly define what they mean by ethnicity, wavering between "shared ancestral culture and traditions" (which would be an impossible sell in countries like the United States, where "white people" came from all over Europe) to "shared European ancestry" (which basically boils down to "no non-white allowed"), to a mix and match of both.

There's also the problem of HOW someone does achieve "ethnicity". A child raised in a country through the institutions of that country, and which absorbs them so much that it identifies in that country, should be part of the "shared culture", so if the "ethno-state" is defined through culture they should be very much in favor of people becoming part of the shared popular culture, like women playing the role of Jean D'Arc in France. This doesn't happen, instead the message seems to be that if those people aren't from a specific ancestry they're "invaders", they're somehow "stealing" the culture of the countries they live in.

The "ethnic identitarianism" phenomenon is similarly fraught with problems. Who belongs to the "identity", why, and how do they acquire the identity? Nobody really knows. There's only a vague sense of commonality which is supposed to have been there in the past but now is lost due to immigration.

In order to sell ethnic identitarianism, the alt-right uses three strategies: the first is to basically just point at the SocJus and at their equally dogmatic and inflexible system based on ethnic/ancestry identification, and use the existence of SocJus identity politics as a justification for the alt-right identity politics. This is very effective on those who have been exposed to a lot of SocJus rhetoric, but it's basically only "whataboutism".

The second strategy is to use genuine logistic or cultural concern (housing, cultural differences, culture shock) as a wedge to insert their own identitarain claims, accusing anyone who might share some concerns but be against the ethnic identitarian framework of being a "lib-tard", a "SJW", a "cukservative" or other form of thought-ending cliched insult, and then claiming that there's no alternative to "ethnic" identity politics to address this issue. The identitarians use this strategy to suggest a false dicothomy between their ideas and the SocJus.

The third strategy is the "prophecy of Doom" scaremongering strategy. Instead of arguing about their ideas the ethnic identitarian point to a problem which is in some way related to immigration, or to some sort of "degeneration", and claim that this is going to be "the end of the West", "white genocide", etc. This is just a simple form of emotional manipulation.

Ministers put curbs on trans rights

Groups that exclude self-identifying women from female-only sites are to be protected


Ministers have vowed to defend women’s rights to exclude transgender people from female-only spaces such as changing rooms, lavatories and swimming sessions.

In a significant victory for campaigners, the government has promised not to put the rights of those who identify as women ahead of those who are biologically female. Its intervention comes in the wake of a series of clashes that have come to light in the year since the government floated proposals to allow adults to change their gender legally without a doctor’s diagnosis.

Men identifying as women were permitted to swim in the ladies’ pond on Hampstead Heath in north London; a woman who requested a female nurse to perform her cervical smear was called in by a person with stubble; and a woman with a fear of men was locked in an NHS women’s psychiatric ward with a burly 6ft transgender patient.

Now the government has faced down pressure from Labour and influential backbenchers to tilt the balance further in the direction of transgender rights, as it prepares to announce a consultation on the Gender Recognition Act. This is expected to coincide with the Pride in London parade on July 7.

A statement from the Government Equalities Office, overseen by Penny Mordaunt, the women and equalities minister, promises that “advancing the rights of trans people does not have to compromise women’s rights”.

It said: “We are clear we have no intention of amending the Equality Act 2010, the legislation that allows for single-sex spaces. Any Gender Recognition Act reform will not change the protected characteristics in the Equality Act nor the exemptions under the Equality Act that allow for single and separate-sex spaces.”

It pledges: “Providers of women-only services [can choose not to] provide services to trans individuals, provided it is objectively justified on a case-by-case basis. The same can be said about toilets, changing rooms or single-sex activities. Providers may exclude trans people from facilities of the sex they identify with, provided it is a proportionate means of meeting a legitimate aim.”

The government statement came in response to a petition launched by Amy Desir of Man Friday, a feminist group that seeks to ridicule the notion that people should be allowed to self-identify with a particular gender.

They “identify” as men on Fridays by indulging in behaviour such as mansplaining (explaining something to a woman in a condescending or patronising manner), manspreading (sitting with legs wide apart) on public transport and using the men’s changing rooms at shops that allow self-identification. A group of women, assured they were welcome to swim in Hampstead men’s pond as self-identifying men, arrived in mankinis but were escorted away by the police.

Mordaunt has signalled she is not yet persuaded that people should be allowed to select their gender without requiring a formal medical diagnosis of “gender dysphoria,” in a big shift from the language of Justine Greening, who trailed the proposals a year ago when she was women and equalities minister.

The statement says the current process for gaining a gender recognition certificate “is not working well for the people it is designed for”, with only 4,850 certificates issued since the Gender Recognition Act came into force in 2004. But the statement adds: “That does not necessarily mean we are proposing self-declaration of gender.”

It also emphasised that the July consultation will not change the age from which trans people can receive cross-sex hormones — currently 16 — nor the minimum age for surgery, which is 18.

The group Man Friday welcomed the commitment to defend single-sex spaces, but cautioned that it would be unworkable if people were allowed to change their gender without a formal diagnosis.

Desir said: “Handing out gender recognition certificates on demand removes safeguarding checks. You can’t tell the difference between someone with a need to live in their preferred gender and someone who’s there to prey on women.”

Stonewall, which campaigns for gay and trans rights, said: “Trans people are subject to appalling levels of abuse in daily life and dehumanised by the way the current debate questions their very right to exist. This is unacceptable in Britain in 2018 and it demonstrates just why the Gender Recognition Act needs urgent reform.”

A government source said: “An exemption clause on a case-by-case basis is a commonsense solution to some of the objections raised to the government’s plans to make it easier for adults to change their gender legally without a doctor’s certificate.”

I don't think it's "whataboutism". Note that none of this support, I think everybody involved is horribly wrong, blah blah blah.

I think the perception people have, is that ethnic identitarianism IS going to be the political framework of the future. There's no ifs ands or buts. You can't stop the oncoming train. It's on its way. The only chance you have, is to hijack that train and use it for your own benefit. It's like a Game of Thrones-esque mantra. You either win or you die. I think that's the ethos that's driving the alt-right in that regard.

Again, entirely disagree with them, I most certainly think that train can be stopped, and in fact eventually I'm confident it WILL be stopped, and when it's stopped it'll stop quickly, faster than you think. Eventually the idea that leftist identitarians do not want the same things that you want will become apparent to the mainstream left and it'll lose a lot of needed support and as such it'll collapse into a niche ideology.

I think he's said before that your highest value is god. So he is using a definition that is not what most Christians would use. I'm reading Maps of Meaning, and he seems to be saying that you have the "is" realm that science deals with and the "ought" realm that mythology/religion deals with. And religion is one way to describe the "ought" realm. It does not have to be supernatural, just symbolic and dealing with how you "ought" to act. It is not something you reason to because it is too complicated and always changing as the environment changes. Or at least that is what I take from what I have read/heard from him so far.

If Jordan Peterson were really religious in the standard Christian way I don't think his 12 Rules for Life would be what they are. Most Christians would make rule #1 be something like "accept Jesus as your personal savior". I have not heard Peterson say anything like that, and his 12 rules are not explicitly religious in the Christian sense.

I think he is saying that the symbolism of Christianity (NOT the supernatural element) is the thing that makes western civilization work. It is what made the "ought" part of western civilization. And if we abandon it we end up in nihilism.

I also think that is what he thinks Dostoevsky is talking about in Crime and Punishment.

It’s hilarious that the key definition Kirb deployed for “ethnostate” (direct citizen-racial/ethnic construct) is the one thing that Communism isn’t.
