No, "Europeans and Their Diseases" Didn't Kill the Native Americans

Moray, amazing agricultural research center

Legend has it that European explorers brought their diseases to the Americas, which caused the collapse of, say, the Incan and Mayan civilizations. The image of “filthy Europeans” going around the world killing “more advanced people” just to “steal their resources” has been with us ever since. More likely, American civilizations collapsed due to the natives’ own failure to produce food.

About an hour from Cuzco city, Peru, Moray, is the “amazing agricultural research center” built by the ancient ...

Black Fragility: The Incurable Problem

Shutterstock

What does sub-Saharan Africa need to succeed? It needs black entrepreneurs, black engineers, and black architects. But don’t tell black people. It will hurt their feelings beyond repair, for the majority of the African continent’s inhabitants still can’t read and write, and those who can read still haven’t processed the humiliations of colonialism.

Today, if a black country wants to build new roads, they call the Chinese. There are not enough black people in Africa capable of building roads them...

Did 1999's The Matrix Predict the Present?

The Matrix' To Be Released For The First Time In Imax – Deadline

In the 1999 movie The Matrix , there is a scene where Morpheus explains how the Matrix was built. First, during the early 21st century, AI was invented. Artificial Intelligence then began controlling all sorts of machines. And then, the machines started turning against the humans, and the humans decided to blot out the Sun. In response, the machines began harvesting humans to sap their energy.

Today, we have AI-controlled drones fighting wars in Ukraine and Amazon delivery robots dropping off our ...

Teutonic Fury

Viking Warfare - World History Encyclopedia

According to some research, white and black males more easily grow muscle naturally compared to Asian males, though black males slightly more than whites. Still, Northern Europeans dominate the international strongman competitions, suggesting “black muscle” is a lot of bloat without substance, like inflatable Michelin Men.

Indeed, some men carry muscle to look good, others specifically to do damage. And that is what I call the dark side of the West. We’re not here for fun. We’re not here to win t...

Beware of the Half-White Menace

Iran to 'firmly punish' people who violate hijab law: Report | Al Arabiya English

No one in the Western today believes that being ‘White’ makes one superior. If being White means something like being of Caucasian-European Christian stock, preferably North-West European, surely your genome alone doesn’t warrant you to access any particular favor.

Yet, if you told half-white or almost-white people that they’re not quite White, they may feel deeply offended. In their mind, being qualified as White somehow warrants their inclusion in the whitest Private Club in the world—White Peo...

Chinese-Style Censorship Will Stunt Humanity

I’ve been very active on TikTok over the past two years, and so I’ve gotten a taste of Chinese-style censorship, even though the app is officially incorporated in the USA but likely owned by China’s ByteDance . To give you the essence: Chinese-style censorship is a feelings-driven, outrage-driven form of censorship that favors a feminine submission to arbitrarily enforced “Community Standards”.

Now I understand why China, and its great civilization, for so long, was lagging behind the West’s techn...

Hail Your Ethnicity, Because You're Not a Passport

Tacitus' Germania: Insights Into the Origins of Germany

U.S. citizens often say, “We’re all Americans.” But not all Germans are German. That is because U.S. citizenship isn’t an ethnicity, whereas being German or French or Polish is. And it explains why Europeans don’t like immigration. Ethnicity isn’t a cheap matter, either. It’s not something you’re offered with a McDonald’s Happy Meal : knowing your ethnicity defines the nature of your soul.

But the French government seems to have misunderstood this assignment. By giving out passports to random migr...

Our Resolve Has Never Been So Great

Europe’s position has never been so weak, yet our resolve has never been so great. We are the guardians at the flood of values. We are the soldier at the gates of Pompeii who refused to abandon his post. While the Devil is doing his work, even castrating adolescent boys (white boys) using an AI-controlled robotic machine, and dumping men of our stock in a needless war in Ukraine, a meat-grinder designed to kill as many men as possible, for as long as possible, within our hearts, a great victory ...

Karma for Colonialism?

I’ve been noticing a striking online presence of Indian, African, and other people, including many never colonized by Europeans, who speak of “Karma for colonialism”, or the belief that mass migration into, and the subsequent destruction of Western nations, is somehow “karma”. They say the chickens are coming home to roost.

Of course, colonialism has been only extremely beneficial to its recipients. Since 1950, for example, the sub-Saharan African population has grown by over 1200% from about 116...

France on Fire: Racist Migrants on a Rampage

Researchers have started blaming the riots in #FranceHasFallen on rising food prices and reduced food consumption. They say hunger still predicts popular revolts. Indeed, it does. Hungry people lose their ability to reason, and resort to violence more quickly. But in the case of European nations such as France, this apparent food scarcity was preceded by decades of unrestricted mass immigration.

President Macron publicly put the blame on “TikTok and video games”. Why else would a contingent of r...
