John Paul Stevens as a prototypical WASP

July 10, 2010/106 Comments/in Racialization of American Politics, White Pathology/Guilt/by Kevin MacDonald

There’s been a lot of talk about the fact that soon there will be no WASPs on the Supreme Court. What does it mean? And does it really matter? What’s fascinating is that John Paul Stevens was nominated to the Supreme Court as a moderate Republican who gradually moved further to the left as he […]

Kevin MacDonald: Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's “The 1920s.” Chapter 18 of 200 Years Together

July 5, 2010/39 Comments/in Anti-Semitism, Anti-White Attitudes, Jewish Ethnocentrism, Jewish Influence, Jews and the Left, Jews as An Elite/by Kevin MacDonald

The English translation of Chapter 18 of 200 Years Together, “The 1920s,” is now available. (See here, and notice the link requesting donations.) It has a very different feel from Chapter 20, on the Gulag. Whereas Solzhenitsyn’s account of the Gulag stresses his own experiences, this chapter relies on a wide range of academic historical […]

Hormonal regulation of ingroup altruism

July 1, 2010/82 Comments/in Evolutionary Psychology, White Racial Consciousness and Advocacy/by Kevin MacDonald

A recent paper by Carsten K. W. De Dreu and colleagues in Science shows that the hormone oxytocin makes people more inclined to help their ingroup (“The Neuropeptide oxytocin regulates parochial altruism in intergroup conflict among humans”; Science, June 11, 2010; not available online without subscription). The paper is important for several issues related to […]

Elena Kagan and the new (unprincipled) elite

June 29, 2010/159 Comments/in Decline of Whites, Elena Kagan, Jewish Ethnic Networking, Jews as a Hostile Elite, Jews as An Elite/by Kevin MacDonald

Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman had a bit of Jewish triumphalism published recently in the NY Times (“The Triumphant Decline of the WASP“). Now that the WASPs have gone down to zero seats on the Supreme Court and there’s a Black president, it’s time to congratulate the WASPs for holding onto their principles even though […]

Some thoughts on Richard Wrangham

June 25, 2010/44 Comments/in Evolutionary Psychology, White Pathology/Guilt/by Kevin MacDonald

My last blog (“Chimpanzees don’t believe in open borders“) necessarily highlighted the work of Richard Wrangham, the Harvard primatologist whose theory on coalitional aggression by male chimpanzees was strongly supported by the study of Mantini et al. Wrangham argues that chimps and humans have both inherited a propensity for aggressive territoriality from a chimplike ancestor. War […]

Chimpanzees don’t believe in open borders

June 23, 2010/39 Comments/in Evolutionary Psychology/by Kevin MacDonald

I began my chapter on Jewish involvement in shaping US immigration policy as follows: Immigration policy is a paradigmatic example of conflicts of interest between ethnic groups because immigration policy determines the future demographic composition of the nation. Ethnic groups unable to influence immigration policy in their own interests will eventually be displaced by groups […]

Jews as a hostile elite–again

June 21, 2010/115 Comments/in Anti-White Attitudes, Jewish Influence, Jews as a Hostile Elite, Jews as An Elite/by Kevin MacDonald

Peter Brimelow ends his recent article (“Redneckophobia”? Why Obama Is Attacking Arizona“) by noting : “Our political class may live in a fantasy world, but the motive for its immigration enthusiasm is all too real: a relentless hatred of the historic American nation.”The immediate object of his ire is one Klejda Gjermani, described by Brimelow […]
