A bit of IQ realism in the LA Times

Christopher Chabris, a psychologist at Union College, and Jonathan Wei, a researcher at the Duke University Talent Identification Program and at Case Western Reserve University, wrote an op-ed refuting a central dogma of cultural Marxism, that standardized tests have no validity (“Hire like Google? For most companies, that’s a bad idea“). What the professors write […]

Breaking up Ukraine along ethnic lines

In an earlier article on competing nationalisms in Ukraine, I suggested that states like Ukraine with large ethnic divisions should be divided into relatively ethnically homogeneous societies. This derives from the idea of what Frank Salter terms “universal nationalism”—that all peoples should be able to live in ethnically homogeneous states free of the conflict that […]

Niestabilny sojusz nacjonalistów i żydowskich oligarchów na Ukrainie

Translation of “The Unstable Alliance of Nationalists and “Mainly Jewish Oligarchs” in the Ukraine.” Posted at http://www.nacjonalista.pl/2014/03/15/prof-kevin-macdonald-niestabilny-sojusz-nacjonalistow-i-zydowskich-oligarchow-na-ukrainie/ Naczelna narracja zachodnich mediów jest taka, że „ukraiński naród” wyzwolił się z okowów złego, skorumpowanego reżimu Janukowycza.

Competing Nationalisms in Ukraine

In “Which Way White Man?,” Tom Sunic discusses the downside of European nationalism: The Hungarian nationalist party Jobbik has had significant success in its PR overtures in the mainstream media in Europe and it deserves to be commended. Yet, few White American nationalists can comprehend their irrational call of the soil and blood and why […]

Canard sighting: Jonathan Tobin in Commentary

One has the feeling that the pro-Israel community in the U.S. is increasingly on the defensive. Jonathan Tobin’s “Anti-Zionists Must Not Be Allowed to Hijack the Jewish Community” is Abe Foxmanesque in its tone of embattled righteousness — and for two (two!) uses of the canard strategy (i.e., the strategy  that if a belief related […]
