What I want to read, and I may have to strain and risk nicotine over dose to write it myself, is an article on corporate life. Dreary office computer expert type jobs, not prestige media. I'm an older millennial, and have worked beset on all sides by Celestials, Hindustanis and other such witless and scheming "STEM brains". Someone needs to paint the picture of the unprecedented absurdity of 70 people on a Teams call pretending to understand an Indian consultant as he rattles off his platitudes and set phrases. We're talking about projects which five old school 1970s IBM guys could have wrapped in 6 weeks taking three years and 200k man hours to complete. Ridiculous broken English overlooked, bizarre code that spirals in to the solution instead of a tidy Saxon approach. Imagine nearly everyone you work with is Chinese or Indian, in America, at a well paying if unglamorous job. You signed up to be a computational septic man and now you have to work with these people, forever. It's not strictly discrimination, is a reworking of the labor market via the H1b visa. Path dependency means it's either a heroic career jump or go long BTC and Argentina until you can afford to flee.
Please write the article, you’ve already made a start with this comment. Also speaks to BAP’s point about discrimination being by the by, the focus should be on highlighting the total incompetence of the people who do have jobs both in ‘high status’ and unglamorous industries
I work in a lab, and about two years ago we hired someone who earned their science degree in India and had most work experience there (American work experience seemed to be for a company that I suspect only exists online). This scientist couldn't do anything except give excuses for why assignments weren't done, sometimes even making false statements about it. The Indian ended up quiting in less than a year, just as the boss asked human resources (HR) about the proper procedure for firing someone. The Indian scientist had escalated some petty matters to claims of harassment, so firing had to be done carefully.
Looking back, I wonder if the scientist planned to "fake it 'til you make it" or came in honestly thinking they could do the work. After they left, I was surprised at the number of stories that came out about their dishonesty in the workplace.
In any case, we changed several aspects of our hiring process after that.
You need to read my story ‘PROXY’. 2 part tale of my time as a contractor for the UK government. Absurd might be an understatement. I won’t say any more because I have exhausted myself telling the tale itself. I think you’ll know what I mean if you read it.
yeah man I am working on it. It has turned out to be challenging to separate the shitiness of corporate jobs from the shitiness of working with all foreigners. And to not turn it into a gripe fest about my job
This captures something that no numbers can: the qualitative decline in life in America during this period. It's different for different people, stunted careers for some, NGO sinecures for others, but the main emotion of my millennial career is a feeling that everything has kind of faded to gray, or that I've arrived at the party a little too late. Gave up on sports in undergrad because the other guys on the team were to stuck on womanly in fighting and pettiness instead of mutual support. Got to a once innovative grad program, to find no elders interested in doing work as disruptive as they had done in the 80s, and generations and generations of grad students making smaller and smaller contributions. Music and creative projects fell into endless edits and second-guessing. You're right about creative projects, the movie and other industries should be booming now with wild, experimental work: and most people noticing the decline blame technologies, social media, culture, anything but the lack of will, no inner flame (and I also wonder why no impresario has emerged, willing to lose money on something truly wild). What's missing everywhere is something mystic, the quality without a name. Even unpleasant experiences are gone, nothing truly dangerous in urban life, no transgression, no boundaries to cross, just a curated, disney experience of everything.
They stole our futures. The correct response is not begging for more handouts, but rather the burning and rebuilding of the entire social and economic system.
Yes, the Longhouse has been around for a long time, operating and insinuating itself in every industry and every organization, even those that were once primarily male dominated. Long before 2015, I was in law enforcement. The rural sheriff's department I worked for decided it needed more lady cops, I went through the police academy with several of these new hires. The most miserable group of gossipy harlots you will ever meet. One time, I was working with one of them when she was dispatched to a domestic call. I went there to back her up, since this was common procedure, but she was "primary" which meant she was supposed to be in charge of the scene and lead. When I arrived, both spouses were outside just screaming at each other, ignoring the deputy. The deputy herself had gone into "vapor lock" and was simply frozen on the spot. I had to take over as primary and give her specific commands while I took charge. When I told the shift commander about what happened, his response was "don't worry, this has happened before, we are putting her in the schools as a school resource deputy. No termination of employment or even a written reprimand. A man wouldn't have been so lucky. I thought to myself, God help us if there is a school shooter, at best, she will be killed while responding and at worst, we'll, I'll let you consider that. We've become okay with pure incompetence at every level of society. I'm glad at least I grew up in a society that still had standards unlike GenZ.
Fantastic point about grievance narratives being a strategic dead end. The shift from showcasing excellence to pure victimology after 2009 really did backfire for the left in ways people dunno fully appreciate yet. I've seen this play out in tech consulting where everyone focuses on demographic composition of medicore teams instead of the fact that the whole project should've taken 6 weeks not 3 years. The conformist company-man culture you describe pre-2010 is still the bigger problem becuase it filters out anyone with original ideas regardless of background.
Learned a new word: taqiyya. To our everlasting shame as a nation, we have imposed that despicable practice (known in German by a phrase meaning “inner emigration”) on an entire generation, and now a second generation, of American men.
We have a decision to make: do we get mad, or do we get even?
It’s obviously time to shake up this entire rotten system . . .
It's entered dissident parlance mostly through BAP and Yarvin, but scholars of the Middle East have long been aware of the practice, and have been eager to point out that it is not unique among Shi'ite Muslims of the Levant and Mesopotamia.
Taqiyya is a maladaptive survival mechanism. If you do it for long enough, the resulting cognitive dissonance is enough to trigger psychosis in even the healthiest individuals.
“I think those who claim that stories of grievance and victimization were central to the leftist causes are somewhat misled on this point.”
This is myself. I’ve been confused about how the right should properly handle anti-whiteness without sounding/becoming like the lefty victimhood ideologies, which seems like it would lead to defeat in the long run anyway…
I read the Savage article not as an exposé but more so as a celebration. Look at how thoroughly the Liberal program has succeeded in ethnically cleansing White male life from "Elite"™️ institutions.
Which has been occurring for over a century, the WASP elite had already given up the game by the late 1920’s, and WASP women were immersed in America’s true religion, Negrolatry, and plight of the "marginalised" with suicidal zeal for just as long.
Critical Race Theorists, "Whiteness" Studies, and Africana adjuncts didn’t have to push very hard on institutional doors, nor be coerced to collaborate with figures such as W.E Dubois ~ trickling down to the characters we have today. Crenshaw, Bell, Kendi, Leonardo, Estal, Staples, Coates, pick a negro soothsayer.
The question is, "what is to be done?" There are still the terminal fools who can shamelessly utter the word "reform".
Nothing has changed. Liberals are still carrying on as they always have, and eradicationist anti-White doctrines are still being "taught" as you read this. Every second, of every minute, of every hour these institutions, cultural or educational exist, they are inflicting injury and demoralisation on the population. The only one that matters, Whites.
The actual answer is to seize the endowments. Yes the scary communist word. Expropriation; with the recipients being White males, White newly weds, or to be married White couples. Anyone not speaking of confiscation of institutional assets, is doing what the so called "conservative" movement ( which should be regarded as a slur at this point ) has been doing my entire life.
I stopped listening to Isaac Simpson’s podcast with Savage after he said his wife is a costume designer, after discussing “what went wrong with Hollywood?”
Thanks for the heads up. I went to the interview. Savage isn't white. He's probably middle eastern. So, the whole thing is a bit like Jews not wanting to be identified as being white. He may or may not be Jewish but he is not European.
Jewish men used to like being identified as white but because white men have become so weak they want to distance themselves these days.
Unfortunately Savage is like most Americans, especially the left. He doesn't care until it impacts him. Then it is a crisis.
The ethnic cleansing BAP discusses began to ramp up in the 60s with the passage of Hart Celler and the civil rights act. The college deferments for the draft also basically said that the working class and poor were expendable. TV had adjust latched onto the narrative of the evil white business man and small town folks being the villains.
Then in the 70s and 80s offshoring and the leftist dominance of college campuses started ramping up. In my dorm in early 70s there was a dispute between a black and a white kid and all white kids had to go to a meeting to hear about how we were racist. And this was just a CA public state university.
By late 90s the pieces were in place. Conservatives had been cleansed from campuses and much of entertainment and the early speech restrictions were kicking into gear big time.
In 2000 I went to a business meeting at IBM and everyone except the top people was an hib.
I felt implicated in the remarks on making films. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. With some exceptions, I don’t watch any films produced in the last 15 years, and others have pointed, my appetites for something different aren’t being met. So maybe time to stop sitting on hands…
The immense mediocrity and shabbiness of the world the occupiers have created weighs on them heavily. It’s why they suppress the architecture question so much.
We’re still far off unfortunately from true meritocracy (military rule) but just pointing out what utter SLOP these people produce goes a long way toward justifying their total replacement as a class.
Also the complete exclusion of WASPs from elite institutions is nuclear stuff—if Trump declared these institutions enemies of the people and brought harsh lawsuits against them, the base would view that as completely justified. Regular Americans get quite angry when presented with the evidence of their systematic exclusion, and discrimination law already exists just waiting to be wielded…
You are certainly correct that this is a manifestation of something bad (for normal white men) moving up the food chain. It has been going on for a long time at lower social levels. This begs the question: why have (normal) white men become so weak in the first place? Or, rather, the elites? They weren't like this before, say, WWII. And this question applies equally to western Europe and the entire Anglosphere.
if you keep a pig fed and housed, he stays pink and oinky. If a domesticated pig escapes, he reverts to the boar form rapidly, tusks, coarse hair &c. That and the US judicial/prison system.
I have gotten halfway through [Yes it's taken me a while, I have a kid who are enjoying their freedom fours and I want to give it the respect it deserves, because under this all, is some really talented writing. Do you know anyone on the left who can write this well? I would like to compare if my views are shaped by talent or objectivity.

He likely planned to fake it till he got fired, with no skin off his back while he cashes the paychecks. Lot of that going around...

I'd like to read this article actually.
Just make it an AI screen play.
This may have been a better post than the article.
Please write this.

Maybe tell them on a case by case basis, with examples? Anyways, I am patiently waiting.

Sam Hyde is the only one I can think of doing this sort of thing in entertainment
This is just a permanent kind of feeling for some small segment of the population no matter the place or time. Very evergreen. Evergrey, rather.

Wasting White peoples time.

Thanks. I myself don’t blame Jews for the mess.
