The Unz Review Digest - January 8, 2021
The aftermath of the disputed presidential election dominated this week’s most popular articles, especially after a large crowd of Trump supporters temporarily occupied the DC Capitol, with the resulting violence leaving several dead and producing huge international headlines.
Ranking first was Dr. Alan Sabrosky’s somewhat prescient article from earlier this week, in which he outlined the possible scenarios for a national breakdown of law-and-order on Wednesday, when the results of the vote would be made official, and the various longer-term dystopian scenarios that could result. His analysis quickly attracted some 300 comments totaling more than 30,000 words.
Meanwhile, two columns just featured yesterday but coming up very fast in the rankings and already holding the fourth and fifth spots were the reactions to the massive DC protest and occupation by bloggers Steve Sailer and Anatoly Karlin. The first of these focused on the widespread friendly reaction the MSM had expressed a few years earlier for the occupation of the Wisconsin State Capitol by pro-Democratic protesters and the contrast with the very different presentation of the events in DC, a contrast that quickly drew 350 comments totaling almost 30,000 words. In a somewhat similar vein, Karlin compared the most prominent eccentrically-dressed activist in the DC events with the leading gangster street-protester in the longtime occupation of a stretch of downtown Seattle.
In other topics, ranking second was Fred Reed’s column described the extremely brutal historical behavior of many American Indian tribes, a story largely hidden in recent years by the American media, and largely forgotten in our age of political correctness. His piece quickly attracted nearly 500 comments, totaling over 50,000 words.
Placing third was Jared Taylor’s piece arguing that the unwillingness of American society to admit the existence of racial differences is dooming us to a steady or rapid decline, especially when contrasted with the enormous success of the rising power of China, which suffers from none of this weaknesses and is consequently going from strength to strength. Nearly 400 comments totaling 40,000 words debated these issues.
Finally, rounding out our most popular features was John Huss’s discussion of the severe problems cities around the world are having in disposing of the bodies of Covid-19 victims, entirely overwhelming their crematoria capabilities, and noting the severe questions this reality raises for the standard narrative of the Jewish Holocaust of World War II.
And although it’s long since dropped out of our most popular articles, the discussion on Laurent Guyenot’s article on the deaths of the Kennedys is still going strong, now breaking 200,000 words, and surely one of the longest found anywhere on the Internet.
It is given to few countries to face a future without any bright sides. Those that have done so in the past, have usually confronted overwhelming external challenges, perhaps compounded by internal difficulties. In the case of the United States today, that is not the case. To be sure, there are external challenges with both...

Cold Water on a Hot Topic
As part of wokedom’s fantasy-ridden fascination with indigenes, sports teams, such as the Redskins and Braves, race to change names. (For Washington’s team, the Federal Folders has been suggested.) Outraged conservatives see the changes as nauseating prissiness by historically illiterate ninnies. It is every bit of this. Still, the teams should be renamed. What civilized...

Intellectual paralysis means economic paralysis. This video is available on BitChute here. Last week I explained why different groups don’t achieve at the same level. It’s because the races are not identical. There are all sorts of interesting differences – this paper from just last year says you can tell American blacks from American whites...

Thousands storm Capitol as GOP takes action Shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the locked King Street entrance to the Capitol, chanting "Break down the door!" and "General strike!" Moments later, police ceded control of the State Street doors and allowed the crowd to surge inside, joining thousands who had already...

But let's move on to a far more important discussion: Raz of Chaz or MAGA Viking, who did the techno-barbarian warlord aesthetic better during their occupations of Capitol Hill and the Capitol, respectively? Both are very strong competitors to be sure. *** Points in favor of MAGA Viking: (1) Storming one of the key power...

Uh-oh. Alarming news (is there any other kind these days?) suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has put a catastrophic strain on the world’s crematoria not seen since … well, we’ll get to that in a moment. Let us take these headlines at face value for the sake of argument: Zittau, Germany: Reports from this Saxony...

It began with Dylann Roof. Since then, the Molotov cocktail of autism, inceldom (involuntary celibacy), gallantry, vengeance, and mass murder has exploded with such regularity that I keep dusting off a boilerplate article to condemn it whenever the perpetrators are connected with White Nationalism. But even with Roof’s case, I felt that I had seen...

It seemed like an act of desperation. Twenty-five years after the fall of apartheid, South Africa’s Whites were counting on a Black man to save them from the corruption and malignancy of Black-majority rule. Its failure should have surprised no one. By all appearances, Mmusi Maimane was a South African Barack Obama. Smooth and polished,...

Let's remove Israel from American politics
There has been one good thing about the COVID-19 virus – for the first time many among the general public are beginning to ask why a rich country like Israel should be getting billions of dollars from the United States taxpayer at a time when many Americans are struggling. Inevitably, of course, the press coverage...

One of the most perplexing narratives presented during the waning days of the administration of President Donald J. Trump is his apparent disengagement from dealing seriously or providing leadership regarding the surging Coronavirus while at the same time continuing an activist foreign policy that in no way benefits any American. Ironically, the new administration of...

Pandering to the Establishment Now Ubiquitous
The Establishment has imposed a color revolution on the American people. Ekaterina Blinova is a journalist who reognized that a color revolution has occurred in America under the guise of a presidential election. The Establishment used the Democrats for their purpose, because Trump was in office under the Republican banner. Trump, of course, is a...

Christianity and the Big Lie
Primo Levi, Italian author of If this is a man (1947) — “a pillar of Holocaust literature” according to Wikipedia —, wrote a short fictional story titled “un testamento”, consisting of the last recommendation of a member of the guild of the “tooth-pullers” to his son. Its ends with these words: There is no literary...

The unexpected decision by Judge Vanessa Baraitser to deny a US demand to extradite Julian Assange, foiling efforts to send him to a US super-max jail for the rest of his life, is a welcome legal victory, but one swamped by larger lessons that should disturb us deeply. Those who campaigned so vigorously to keep...

Last September, Donald Trump accidentally upended an entire generation of myths invented by the left and right that purport to explain America's costly and unpopular military adventures in the Middle East: As Mondoweiss pointed out at the time, the explosive admission went completely unmentioned in the mainstream media, which traditionally hangs on every one of...

Catholic & Identitarian: From Protest to Reconquest Julien Langella Arktos, 2020. For better or worse, I’m fairly certain there hasn’t been a Catholic in my family tree since the Reformation, and I remain unsure about a strict definition of “Identitarianism.” It was with an ambivalent but open mind, then, that I recently read Julien Langella’s...

One year ago, the Raging Twenties started with a murder. The assassination of Maj Gen Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), alongside Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iraq’s Hashd al-Sha’abi militia, by laser-guided Hellfire missiles launched from two MQ-9 Reaper drones, was an act of...

Simon murdered 15 Whites. 13 victims were shot to death, while the killers hacked the...
