This blog is getting close to a decade old, as is the “Hipster Racist” character. I’ve said since day one that “Hipster Racist” is a fictional character, a mix of parody and fiction, and nothing more.
I was introduced to the “White Nationalist” movement via the website OccidentalDissent.com. I suppose I was always a “race realist” having grown up among a fair amount of diversity, but I certainly never considered myself a “racist” or hateful against any races. At some point in the mid 2000s I became aware that “the left” – which I typically identified with somewhat more than “the right” – had become completely “racist” itself, merely anti-white. I was also quite aware that the anti-white sentiment of “the left” came more from other whites than it did, say, blacks or mestizos. Also having known many Ashkenazi Jews since high school, through college, and in my career, I was, I suppose, somewhat “JQ woke.” What I noticed among Ashkenazi Jews was a strong current of anti-Christianism that expressed itself in a kind of “anti-goyim.” I always just chalked this up to the idea that Ashkenazis had evolved as a minority – often an unliked minority – in a majority Christian culture. Still, I was never really an “anti-semite” and could empathize with Jews that may have felt they were a despised minority living in a majority Christian culture.
But the idea that Jews were an “oppressed minority” always seemed absurd to me. Far from being “oppressed” it was obvious that Jews were in fact quite “privileged.” They tended to be wealthier than average, more politically connected than average, and protected from even the mildest criticism by a very strong taboo against “anti-semitism.” I was also well aware that the “mainstream media” in America was, in fact, quite Jewish – something that Jews bragged about.
Somewhere between 2004 and the nomination of John Kerry, who was obviously chosen to purposefully lose against George W. Bush, and 2006, when Democrats won the majority of the House of Representatives and future Speaker Nancy Pelosi notoriously announced that “impeachment was off the table” I had a sort of “a-ha” moment. My growing suspicions that the wars in the Middle East were not, in fact, opposed by Jewish Democrats, but in fact totally supported by Jewish Democrats, were confirmed. I remember being kind of shocked by a Zionist Jew, who identified as a “liberal Democrat,” almost spitting in the faces of my wife and I, during a Democratic party “meet up” kind of thing, when we expressed a rather tepid and mild support for the idea that Palestinians were, in fact, human beings and maybe Israelis shouldn’t treat them so badly. I found that these Zionist Jews, while self-identified as “liberal Democrats,” were mostly upset that George W. Bush wasn’t killing Muslim Arabs fast enough, and for them “liberal” really mean anti-white and anti-Christian.
So of course I sort of gravitated to the only place a culturally Christian (or post-Christian, really) straight white male was accepted: the Ron Paul anti-war crowd. That didn’t last long because these “libertarians” were obviously a kind of cult, obsessed with the kooky ideology of “Austrian economics” and did little but bore everyone to tears with long diatribes about “the non-aggression principle” that had little to do with actual observable reality.
So I discovered the proto-alt-right at places like Occidental Dissent. I had already read Kevin MacDonald, even before he was considered so controversial and even before he started the Occidental Observer. It all started to fall into place. Well, Occidental Dissent started off promisingly but it quickly dissolved into infighting and by the time that Matt Heimbach appeared – who was so obviously a kind of Hollywood-created false opposition type, and his partnership with the odious Matt Parrott – I instead gravitated over to Kievsky’s Mindweapons in Ragnarok, which had a rather unique take on “pro-white” politics.
That’s where I created the “Hipster Racist” character. This was during Gamergate and the coining of the term “Social Justice Warrior” and I really just wanted to troll those types. The concept of “hipster racism” was being taken seriously – it even has a wikipedia page – and these people were such a juicy target for satire I found a nice creative outlet.
Unfortunately, these “WN” types are conservative and reactionary, thus pretty stupid, so I wound up trolling them as much as I trolled SJWs. This mostly came from a sort of “manosphere” type angle. Let’s face it – women can be hysterical and feminism is just silly, and everyone loves sex. The WN types were always saying, hey we need more women in the movement, so I thought, well, what do women really like? They like sexy stories about alpha males spanking them. So I wrote what I thought were hilarious parody essays about “pick up artists” and funny, sexy spanking stories and it just took off. I got tens of thousands of hits from reddit and other sites. I gained a sizable female audience who were never quite sure if I was a disgusting creep or a misunderstood romantic (probably a little of both.)
When MWIR got shut down I started Aryan Skynet just to give all those posters a place to keep the community going, but they all abandoned it early so it turned out to just be icareviews and I. I saw the rise of the “Alt Right” proper and thought that Richard Spencer was going to be a decent frontman for a serious pro-white identity politics, until he fucked it all up by taking internet trolls like Andrew Anglin and Andrew Aurenheimer too seriously (face it, Spencer may be Generation X but he’s a boomer at heart and never really understood the internet and 4chan culture.)
Well, now I’m shadow banned from wordpress – none of my blogs show up in the tag index. I’m banned from reddit. I’m banned from Twitter. I’m banned from all of the NRx sites, banned from Counter-Currents, and I’ve never posted on the (((Hollwood Nazi))) sites, nor Stormfront or any of those WN 1.0 dork sites anyway. I personally helped get the disqus comment section removed from The Atlantic because I kept naming the “liberal Zionist” who run that publication. My hit count has been stuck at the same number for going on two years.
Whatever I was doing must have been effective, because they – the people who run social media – felt the need to silence me. Me, just a silly troll writing parody, spanking erotica, mocking anti-white Social Justice Warriors, and some quite serious history about 9/11 and the CIA.
But the joke has grown old, for me at least. All the manosphere stuff, while true, is now mostly irrelevant. My big complaint about these WN women was that they all loudly proclaimed their “family values” and desire for a monogamous sexual culture, but all they did was bitch about men, never actually mentored young women to get married. The fact is, 20 something women are the rock stars of the sexual marketplace – all the guys want them. They are also the ones that can make white babies. But they have no incentive to do that – as Dalrock points out, they don’t want to waste any more of their youth and fertility on their husbands than absolutely necessary. But if you don’t get young, 21 year old women married and having babies, you will never get that monogamous sexual culture you say you want.
But now there ARE women actually doing that – women like Lana Lokteff and WifeWithAPurpose. So my job here is done, we won. We finally got the old ladies to step and and do their jobs.
Race? Even the $PLC employees like Heimbach, Parrott, and Anglin couldn’t shut down White Identity no matter how hard they tried. Now, White Identity *IS* mainstream, and it wears a red hat with the slogan “Make America Great Again.” Yes, of course, I am perfectly aware that Donald Trump is a Zionist shill that literally takes orders from his boss, Benjamin Netanyahu. But it doesn’t matter, because his fans in White America just needed a Schelling Point to rally around, and MAGA is it. When Trump inevitably double-crosses White America, someone else will take his place. White Identity isn’t going back in the bottle, it’s far too late.
The JQ? The old liberal Zionist scam – nationalism for me, open borders for thee – has been exposed. That’s why the Atlantic can’t have comments. That’s why “Hello, Fellow White People” has become a meme. That’s why the old Jews like Chuck Schumer have no future in the Democratic party, because their black and brown slaves are walking off the Zionist plantation, thus sending hysterical Schlomos desperately trying to get on board MAGA.
And as for me? I think I’ve grown out of the “Hipster Racist” character. It was a great gimmick, but I’m ten years older than when I first started it. I’m not really the same person and it doesn’t make me laugh anymore. It’s been censored precisely because it was so effective.
So I’m thinking about rebranding. I’m going to use a real name instead of a jokey handle. I’m going to give up the pseudo-Christian appeal too – the Westboro trolling angle was truly inspiring but it was never meant to be taken seriously. Christianity will always be an important part of our historical culture, but anyone who takes the Bible as more than quasi-historical mythology is not tall enough to ride this ride. Christian Zionists won’t become more effective and more pro-white when they become anti-Zionist Christians.
All my honest, heartfelt work on 9/11 truth has only been slightly effective because of “conspiracy culture” and the successful “cogntive infiltration” by the Cass Sunstein crowd, the Alex Jonestown nutjobs, and bored autistics who think that the Elders of Zion is a real 3,000 year old organization, as opposed to an ethno-religious tendency that is, ironically, nutured and kept alive by the anti-semiticism of traditional Catholicism/Christianity.
The “Alt Right” – and the “Traditionalism” of the Counter-Currents crowd – is just a stupid dead end. As is (((Curtis Yarvin))) style neo-reaction. How stupid do you have to be to believe that all social and political issues can be mapped on a single axis and that there are two opposing metaphysical principles, “right” and “left,” and that the “right” one is good and the “left” one is bad? Don’t you see how that is literally just Whig History in reverse? Don’t you see how each thing evokes its opposite?
Don’t the Catholics see how silly, how dorky, their medieval role play about “Throne and Altar” is? The Catholics, they are not particularly different that the Protestant Bible-thumpers they hate so much. And it all comes from the same place, childhood conditioning. For those that loved Church – like I did – it represents “home” and “family” to us, the innocence and idealism of youth, and the civic institutions that we’ve lost in the “Bowling Alone” age of electronic mass media.
But come on, at some point you have to grow up. No, I’m sorry, the Creator of the Universe was not incarnated into a specific man 2,000 years ago during the Roman-Jewish war who “just happened” to preach submission to Roman power. No, the ancient Hebrews, to the extent that they even existed, were not “chosen by God” and later killed him. And (((Curtis Yarvin))) is right about one thing, in his essay “How Dawkins Got Pwned.” There is no cognitive “equality” among all humans, and certainly not all races. Biodiversity fans and WN-tards all want to talk about African low-IQ, but it’s far more than that. Han Chinese don’t even perceive the world the same way as Nordic Europeans and the root of those cognitive differences is biological. Dawkins’ “Universalism” is really just the post-Christian version of the last iteration of the Social Gospel, but now infected with Jewish supremacism due to the corporate ownership of the 20th century American mass media.
So I think I’m going to transition into a more serious writer. I hope I can retain a bit of humor but it will hopefully be closer to Steve Sailer and Paul Ramsey than 4chan. Sure, that will come across as “Dad Jokes” to the younger crowd but I ain’t getting any younger. Wild tales of youthful debauchery aren’t as fun when your daughters are reaching puberty – in fact, they become terrifying. And once you reach a certain age and actually have successful, long term relationships with women you realize that women aren’t really all that hard to figure out and when you aren’t a desperate horny teenager anymore sex comes easy. Hell, a lot of the time they chase you. Heartiste is right, you’ll always have a biological urge for “younger, hotter, tighter” but it’s also true that it’s all pink on the inside. And there is more to life than sex. In fact, there’s more to sex than sex. Once you’ve actually created children via sex it changes your perspective.
And another thing about getting older – you’ve seen all this shit before. Politicians come and go, social fads come and go, and life goes on – until it doesn’t. Religious nuttjobery about “eternal life” was never anything more than an analogy for children and grandchildren, and maybe that’s a good reason to not take celibate priests particularly seriously too.
But in a sense, nothing’s really changed. I think we still have to keep our values, and I know what my values are:
1. Unapologetically pro-White. Race is real, we’re White, and we should take our own side.
2. Pro-health, which is pro-life, with a biological understanding of “health” – including psychological health, sexual health, and social health. No man is an island; humans are social creatures. When we see a pride of lions or a herd of antelopes not reproducing and going extinct, we see that as a health problem. So natalism is, itself, an important part of health, even more important than individual health. It’s true that “Western individualism” – which is just a cognitive quirk of Northwestern Europeans – can obscure that, and that’s why we need a certain kind of “socially conservative” natalism. In that sense, middle class American Protestantism, people like Focus on the Family, were always right about “family values” and the “nuclear family” being the core of a society. We just need to stop paying lip service to Biblical fetishism and see this in terms of actual biology and sociobiology.
3. I’d rather cut off my fingers than refer to myself as a “bright” and I have no need to antagonize or demean rural White Christians, but neither am I going to worry too much when they take offense for not taking them all that seriously. We need a naturalistic world-view. Not “I fucking love SCIENCE” bullshit nor an idealistic view of science. But empiricism is all humans have to work with, the rest is intellectual masturbation and “wordism.”
4. Jew-wise. The Ashkenazi mafia is real and the Zionist Jew lobby is a cancer on the West and the American body politic particularly. It has to be addressed, fearlessly. No more wars for the Zionist entity in Palestine and no more fear of the smear term “anti-semitism” when one notices Askhenazi ethnic networking and anti-whiteness in media, politics, and finance.
5. Beyond right vs. left. The Myth of the 20th Century guy says the “right” means order and the “left” means freedom. Odin strike me down if I ever start using the gayest term ever invented – “ordered liberty” – because you don’t have to choose one or the other. More wordism. Language is meant to communicate cognitive states, once you start parsing grammar you’re into wordism. Again, empiricism is all we have to work with, that is our limitation as humans. Wordism is mistaking the language map for the cognitive terrain. Don’t do that.
6. “Conspiracy theories.” “Conspiracy theory” is a slur term, like “racist” and “anti-semite.” Conspiracy is the default human condition. From the sheep’s point of view – YES – the shepherd and the sheep dog are, in fact, working together. They are conspiring. Just because you watch the TV “news” and see a bunch of crying children does not mean that some crazy guy shot up a pre-school – but neither does it mean that some crazy guy didn’t shoot up a pre-school. Empiricism, again, is all we have to work with. If you think that “the powers that be” couldn’t conspire to create a fake mass shooting you’re naive. If you think that every single time the TV shows a mass shooting it’s all just crisis actors, you’re just as naive. The fact is you don’t know and can’t know, and parsing the TV coverage is actually all part of the scam. It could be all real, it could be all fake, it could be partially real and partially fake. Either way, don’t give up your guns for anyone. Assume the TV – and the internet – is a mix of truth and falsehood, and it’s probably best to assume a huge amount of falsehood, because that’s how the media works. The “news” is just another TV show.
7. Don’t be a reactionary. Reactionaries are the easiest to control. It’s ok to be a “conservative” in the sense of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But never be afraid of fixing something that IS broke just because it’s “tradition.” “The job of a progressive is to keep making mistakes and the job of a conservative is to prevent those mistakes from being corrected.”
8. Deal with reality: do whatever it takes to avoid social media censorship, otherwise, what’s the point? If you have to keep your tone moderate, do so. If you have to talk around an issue, do that. If you have to use irony, use it. It’s a cat and mouse game and you play the hand you’re dealt.
So, I could choose a new handle. If I were starting now, I’d never choose the title “Aryan Skynet” because it was just an inside joke for people who apparently never really appreciated it. I’d collaborate with any bloggers who are close enough to my values and have something interesting to say. There’s no point in flogging a dead horse because “Hipster Racist” and “Aryan Skynet” are now effectively censored, which is why our RAPID growth has slowed down to a trickle, because we’ve been shadow-banned and censored from virtually all social media.
Also I will ruthlessly censor comments by default because a good, large percentage of commenters are really just co-bloggers and many of them have bad intentions. You write about the demolition of WTC7, they will start posting purposeful disinformation about Judith Wood’s “Energy Beams.” You post about AIPAC and WINEP, they will start posting about “the Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy.” You write about monogamy, they will spew vitrol about the “sluts” that won’t fuck them. You write about race, they will start posting how “jews are the result of niggers fucking apes!” You post some historical context about religion, they will whine about how Vatican II ruined Throne and Altar. You write about the economy, they will post screeds about the freaking gold standard.
The internet is full of crazy people and yes, the intelligence agencies and the astro-turf lobbies do pay people to disrupt dissident voices. Of course they do. I – we – do it too, it’s called “trolling.”
I realize that lightning doesn’t strike twice, but I bet I can create a new character that is even more successful than this one was.
