“THE STRATEGIC CONSEQUENCES OF CHINESE RACISM: A Strategic Asymmetry for the United States.”

RE: “Making the world safe for the Han”

Considering you’ve just lived through 76 years of making the world safe for the Never Again Brigade… with every serious attempt to dam let alone reverse the rising tide of Western degeneracy and civilizational decay being slandered as a step backwards towards the ovens… perhaps you’d better hope that the Han do a better job of keeping the flame.

As David Goldman himself will tell you, there are more students of Western Classical Music in China than in the West.

Enjoy your Kanye…

PS: Where *is* this Christian Civilization? And of the top 1000 Oligarchs, errr ‘Capitalists’ excuse me… Just how many of them are ‘Christian’?

Not all gloom and doom. A man can live well in Babylon. The trick is to know where you are and not imagine you’re where you’re not.

Do you remember an Inn?
Never more;
Miranda,
Never more.
Only the high peaks hoar:
And Aragon a torrent at the door.
No sound
In the walls of the Halls where falls
The tread
Of the feet of the dead to the ground
No sound:
But the boom
Of the far Waterfall like Doom.

Eh?

“Officer, I didn’t inhale!”

I forgot to do my Pollyanna job and note this San Francisco School Board recall is a big indicator that things are changing strongly in our direction. (San Francisco!)

I believe a tidal shift has occurred and the Democrats and elites won’t be able to stem the tide easily. Though they certainly will try.

It might be a good moment to relax and consider what we want, rather than what we fear.

For the time being we have the wind at our back. It will not be always so.

That said, I am concerned what our opponents may try out of desperation, as they see their advantages dribbling away. So a watchful eye is necessary too.

And even those of us with a non-religious orientation can appreciate that the peacefulness of Western civilization within the wider world civilization comes from the adoption of Christian (and by extension Judaic) cultural elements.
To repeat my prior mention, see:
Larry Siedentop: Inventing the Individual
Tom Holland: Dominion

All are influences, to one extent or another.

Christian values, of loving your neighbor and the 10 Commandments (do YOU know them all? enough to list them? I had to check …), are the social optimal values for peace and prosperity among non-peaceful people.

It’s not “White” privilege, but American privilege. Allowing, but not guaranteeing, success. Yet allowing, more than any other system or society, in history, to achieve more success.

Unlike Euro commie countries of the past, anybody is “Free to Leave”.
If you can find a better country, you should go there. Probably.

For me, the country where my wife would be most happy is Slovakia – happy wife, happy marriage, happy me. And lucky; & smart enough to follow the opportunity; and fairly hard working. Harder working than my kids seem to be…

But I wanted them to have a better life! Easier, more secure, more full of love. It’s not clear they appreciate it very sincerely – for most kids, most of their own life is what “normal life” means.

Blacks hating Asians will get worse before it gets better.

It won’t get better unless Dems lose more elections – and might not get much better even after that, sadly. Winning the election – and then winning the policy battles, are both important.

But most important is culture. Yes, there is luck, and luck is unfair. BUT, hard work is available to all, and all who want to be successful should be doing the hard work to prepare for success.

I’ve been saying the same thing for many years. In the aggregate, minority groups in America’s socioeconomic success closely tracks the degree to which a group embraces, neglects or rejects WHAT WORKS. Which at base consists of just 5 secular values. Education, acceptance of parental responsibilities, delayed gratification, familial loyalty and a strong work ethic.
