Quote of the Day
Why should Jews be armed and trained? Because it is our right and our choice to do so, and because no one can take that from us unless we allow them to. Because our heritage is survival. Because if we proclaim Never Again while demanding or expecting or hoping someone else will give it meaning, then we are fools.

Why Jews Should Be Armed and Trained
Agreed, in as far as it goes. The assertion applies to everyone of sound mind, not just Jews.
Ya, once again. Human right.
Disarmament is always the first tool of tyranny. It baffles me that this has been the case for the entirety of human history.
And yet were still arguing about armament/disarmament. And who should be allowed to defend themselves.
As indeed the Jew has been the carrier of much of that history. And still find themselves betrayed by their own government once again.
Our forefathers enshrined that right as natural and above governments claim on authority.
And yet evil only brainwashes and doubles down on its ignorance.
When will humanity say enough, never again?
As soon as “We the people”, hold governments in a proper mindset. That of our forefathers.
We hold them as servants. That are instructed as to what they will do. And punished for not doing it.
Just as God intended. Until then. We count ourselves fools.
And yet as a group they are among the most outspoken supporters of gun control. Go figure. One law for me, another for thee is the watch-phrase for more than one person.
I try to judge people as individuals rather than groups. And I prefer to be judged as an individual rather than whatever group someone may think I belong to.
“Indentity Politics” is a tool of tyrants.
Agreed.
But they use it as a weapon more than anyone.
Every race on earth is known for its picadilloes.
When I see a group of young black toughs hanging out on the corner.
Should I cross the street?
They could just be the local basketball team.
I’m still crossing the street.
I would have the same defcon level if I was seated cross from a banker named Goldberg.
Sorry.
I wouldn’t feel any less cautious if the banker were named Sanchez, or Fukuhara or Chang or even (maybe especially) Wilson.
Yup, bankers are………no matter.
Too Funny!
My racist ways stand corrected.
A noble aspiration.
But no matter how smart and able you are, if you are playing lone wolf against a group of unscrupulous people playing politics as a team (ethnic ingroup) sport, you WILL lose. Period, full stop. That is a simple fact. And that is why Western Civ is now in such shitty shape. Our opponents are playing as a team, and for keeps, and it’s easy to “divide and conquer” people pre-disposed to excessive individualism.
Refusing to recognize you are facing a team / gang and are happy to take you down because of your skin color or faith background because “muh ideals” isn’t smart or noble, it’s suicidal.
As you so often say, “prepare accordingly.”
I did not say anything about playing “the game” as a lone wolf. I said I “try to judge people as individuals”. If someone has the right mind and skill set, then I want them on my team.
As the old joke goes, “what do you mean we, kemosabe?”
A Lee Kuan Yew famously said, ““In multiracial societies, you don’t vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion.”
Unfortunate, but without a common culture or deep faith to bind people, far more will sell out someone from outside their ethnic group than anyone from within, or hire only from their own clan. There are exceptions to this, but it usually ends up being detrimental to them in the long run if it’s applied with too broad a brush.
So… Clarence Thomas should not have been put on the Supreme Court because his skin is the wrong color to be totally committed to the RKBA?
People with heritage from Africa, India, and Asia who get elected as Republicans to the U.S. Congress and have a history of appropriate voting are not trustworthy to be invited into the Freedom Caucus?
I want those people on my team being an example for others, who might identify with them, that freedom is for everyone.
I’m not saying it’s good or bad, per se. That’s just how politics works out. If there is one dominant culture and ethnicity with a small number of minority people and opinions here and there, then things can work out fine. However… When there is no unified majority, and the plurality is less than necessary to form a ruling power-block on it’s own, then the dynamic changes. A small percentage of relatively high-IQ, integration-minded minorities can work out fine. That’s not what’s happening now.
Think how often a tech company that believes in meritocracy hires an Indian because “they are the most qualified,” and suddenly they are hiring nothing but other indians from that indian’s home district, even if they are idiots. He’s just hiring his idiot nephews. Most minority voters here in the US will vote for their own ethnic group first and only, regardless of how well qualified he is, because he knows that minority will look out for the minority interests. The ONLY groups in “western” nations not allowed to openly fight for their own group interests are whites, straights, men, and Christians. Funny, that. Who do you think pushes that idea so hard? The dirt isn’t magic, and the left is importing a replacement class of voters.
If/when the USA hits ~40% white population, not only would I not expect the power grid to last long, but indoor plumbing will slowly become a thing of the past as the locust constantly are on the move looking for new places to loot because they can’t build or maintain modern infrastructure. Look at SA for how things might slowly collapse.
See below.
But it’s still amazing how so many Jews…an ethnic group historically subjected to a LOT of oppression…are in HUGE numbers completely and rabidly anti 2A.
They don’t rely on brute force for their political power. They have hired golems for that, like Israel controls the US. They rely on money games and fast lawyering. Being anti-2A means they are disarming their victims.
This tactic only works in a “civilized” society. One where rule of law is at least paid lip service.
“Why should Jews be armed and trained?”
Because they’re humans. Not because they’re Jews.
Just like Jesus, 2A is for everybody.
Meritocracy is an ideal we should all have. But Rolfs right.
You will see Mexicans on a white crew. But you won’t see white people on a Mexican one.
I can hear God talking to Jesus after the “tower of Babel”, incident.
“You think they’re divide now? Wait till I make them different colors.”
Racism is a part of human existence.
A very intessting discussion.
Joe, I understand your position, but AFAIK no university is offering a degree program in Cat Herding, nor is there any set of defined proficiency requirements to indicate a high skill level – much less any recognizable form of “success” – in it.
And Cat Herding is what must be done when dealing with “highly independent individuals” unless one can find that Magic Bullet which unites “individuals” around a common purpose. Like, race, or sex, or nationality, or college attended, or some other form ofTribal Affiliation that’s largely non-unique and meaningful to “individuals.”
Because one Lone Wolf may be a good foundation for Hollywood movies, but until one has a large herd of Lone Wolves All Operating in Concert – sometimes called “a cohort,” or “an army,” it’s largely a lost cause. Witness: Congressional Republicans. As opposed to Congressional Democrats (who can be counted on for reliable 100% support of the wrong thing but every single one is lined up behind it nonetheless). And, yes, I noted you stated a preference for a team rather than Lone Wolve(s), but without a strong unifying factor how can that team be assembled and how does one keep it together and functional without the motivation provided by that unifying factor?
It’s hard to ignore the fact that historical events, like the treatment of Jews, have proven the need for individuals to be empowered to defend themselves. This isn’t just about defending from an outside threat, but protecting against a government that might not always have your best interests at heart.
