Spot on analysis as usual, but I greatly miss Nicolo’s shitposting. Weird to see a Balkanoid working this hard!

Re Paul Mason, my understanding is that all staff at the BBC are vetted by the security services. It is reasonable to assume that anyone with a Trotskyite background on the BBC payroll would be an intelligence asset of one kind or another.

Readers interested in pursuing the media/Deep State issue should check out the work of the late Udo Ulfkotte, a journalist at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Ulfkotte spilled the beans on the extraordinary role of the CIA in micromanaging the media (Presstitutes Embedded in the Pay of the CIA: A Confession from the Profession, 2019)

The enthusiasm for the supposed mass graves in Canada is reflective of the fashion amongst left-whites to find any example they can of past misdeeds. It's the same in every country: in the US, slavery; in the UK and France, empire; in Germany, WWII; in Sweden, Swedish iron that may or may not have been used on slave ships (probably the most absurd example I've seen). The power structure benefits by removing moral legitimacy from the heritage population, thereby removing resistance to mass immigration and clearing the way for various social engineering projects. NPCs benefit by the opportunity to farm dopamine via virtue signals, and by having a proximate excuse for the cultural revolution they've been recruited for. At no point is it necessary that any of it be true; it can be, but truth or falsity is orthogonal to requirements.

You might be confusing cynicism with a BS detector. While I agree that there is a entertainingly high level of cynicism amongst people in E Europe/Balkans/Russia, the history of the last century (and even recent decades) shows they are quite willing to embrace BS narratives. The reality is that envy, vindictiveness, group identity, and a desire for scapegoats (or an interest in putting people in their place) can overwhelm any sort of cynicism-driven BS detector (and has done).

Great piece on the Canadian graves and nice take on the NGO infighting, tks

Will the infighting among SJWs signal the end for breadtubers?

Hiring toxic people as the EO rep.

This is the answer, I’ve seen it done in the military. The EO/Sex Harassment Rep should be the closest thing to Andrew Dice Clay’s Diceman character you can find, say a boorish fat Italian guy from Staten Island who says “F-ck you mother “ when he gets miffed, or a sexist “if you eat P_ssy you’re gay” Puerto Rican as the guy after him. This was 2 guys in a row. It worked. Nobody bothered us.

“Here you go Brigade - all IN”

Go ahead and complain.

True story. Ok, its New Jersey but who knows better the Democrats games?

Its effective.

Mind you a few years later we met a flat out pedo sex predator running the program at Ft B---- in Texas, really creepy. But not our problem, its their problem.

“Maybe the answer is in hiring a few people who are so toxic that they scare off these potential troublemakers so that these groups can turn back to actually trying to achieve what they set out to do in the first place? Think about it: a position filled by a guy who is only there to make racist jokes in the office. Is this a feasible solution to the problem plaguing these progressive organizations?”

I think it'll be interesting to see if the hyper-progressive woke culture can sustain itself. You seem to believe that it can, which is fair enough given how fanatic the movement is, but Freddie DeBoer has suggested that the movement is entirely too unpleasant and hostile to keep people attached in the long term.

What is your view on the French situation? Do you think the new united left under Melenchon will collapse after its victory, leading to disillusionment that will increase support for the radical right, or do you think the French left will steal their thunder and become dominant?

Also post new twitter @ and feet.

On the fate of leftists, spies and aging Trots - Sr Soldo have you seen “Deutschland 83-86-89” 3 seasons, was on Amazon now on Hulu. Brilliant series. D L 1989 and the fate of former leftists etc is particularly instructive- the series is about the last years of the DDR and the Old East along with West Germany, told through the prism of DDR spies (of course) . Twas a sad fate.

It's not a white person problem that the US and the Anglosphere has. It's a problem of self-hating whites, who are overwhelmingly progressive. (I was not born in the US.)

Put differently, the problem is not working class "rage", but white college-degree holding white guilt and the people who make fortunes off of them.

You know, nor matter where you look, the effect of DEI/Wokeness is invariably to dumb down the joint and make it incompetent. I wonder when corporate leaders, lawyers, managers and corporations will start to feel the effect of that.

I doubt government and academia ever will as there is no market measure for them....unless people stop going to college. Or something like that.
