Richard likes to dunk on conservative whites who watch tv instead of reading, are fat, low IQ, and resist the browning of America. But apparently he wants to teach them how silly they are by bringing in even lower IQ brown people, who are fat, who don’t read, and have higher crime rates relative to whites. Seems like an own goal to me.
There are two main types of Hispanica though. There are brown Hispanics and white Hispanics. White Hispanics are moving right while brown Hispanics are basically staying where they are at. Brown Hispanics commit crime not as high as blacks but at higher rates than white Hispanics who commit crime as similar rates to non Hispanic whites because they basically are white....to me the term Hispanic means nothing because it's a term that is far too broad. Hispanics have even fought down racial lines since Hispanics existed. That's what communism in many cases was in Hispanic countries. Brown racial resentment against white Hispanics. Bring in enough brown Hispanics and you'll have that in America. Unless you're bringing in the white Hispanics. Then it's not a big deal. Perhaps we should do that.
Ron Unz's COVID theory is that the US secretly attacked China, Iran and maybe Italy (for signing up with the BRI) under the "cover" of a military group with a virus that is extremely contagious and would guaranteed spread around the world, and certainly the borderlwass Schengen zone, while calling anyone "racist" for trying to shut the US border and not having any sort of cure or prophylactic in place. His evidence is some Israeli TV channel and that the US was running a pandemic preparation exercise the year before, which they run every year. Because of course an Israeli channel would be informed, as supposedly would all of NATO, and no one would do anything and all would keep it a complete secret, even Turkey, because why not...
The man is an idiot, even if he is still less stupid than the utterly deranged commenters on his site, who spend most of their time accusing each other of being secret Jews for disagreeing with each others' lunacy.
Having said all this, he's right that Hispanic immigration has not led to the end of the world, but this will only seem like a smart insight if you don't the realise that 99% of everyone agrees because they're not utterly hysterical. Including near everyone who opposed the immigration in the first place, and it was because it would not be good for their living standards, rather than any apocalypse. Certainly California would be much nicer with half of the population. Or 1950s demographics, at least for those demographics, which was the point.
Otherwise he's wrong in his article about Hispanic crime, which actually is higher than white crime, because he calculated his figures based off the assumption that the average age of someone in prison was like the average Hispanic age at the time rather than what it was, which was older and more like he white age. This led him to adjust his numbers in the opposite direction and is such a basic mistake that it seems like a deception, but he is too personality disorded even for that, he just can't admit when he is wrong, except that annoying fake schtick he does at beginning of his bloviating and insane articles. Yet I still quite like him. He's like Peter Pan, if Peter Pan had been a child who poured his sociopathy into being a nerd.
Another great piece and honestly better written than usual. I was tempted to ask if you had Sam Kriss guestwrite it for you, but that would be flattery. As usual, you're right about American conservatives. But, arguably for the wrong reasons. This is an example of the tails coming apart as Scott Alexander puts it. So the things that American conservatives previously were attempting to conserve were proxies for racial homogeneity and at earlier stages of American history, even ethnic homogeneity. This project, of course, is lost beyond any possibility of recall, but people have to do something to justify getting up every morning so they go on fighting the proxy wars.
As the Hispanic percentage of the population increases, do you think the "Black worship" will decrease or continue to play out along fault lines similar to today? I'd love to see it disappear but our elites have no intention of letting that happen, IMO.
I grew up in a city composed mostly of whites and Hispanics and we got along just fine, as I think the case will continue to be long-term.
As romans-à-clef go, I'd give this one four stars. If anything you've done Ron's love for Hispanic gentrification a disservice; he wouldn't be so lazy as to draw a direct causal relationship between the declining murder rate in CA as a whole and the increase in the Hispanic population. Then again he might have been distracted by the fake breasts. (This is not to include Allison, of course.)
Though Modly Marius loves Precambrian Pedarast, I bet the Trad Catholics love the PP even more.
Now that the Nietzschean Right has been explored. perhaps Hanania and Unz can next enter a dreamscape in which they meet some podcasters from the Christian Right. It's only fair.

I was wiping away tears after reading Hanania's satirical take on Yarvin, Moldy Marius. Yarvin claims that one can prove anything with a single primary source; this approach leads him to some crazy places at times, and RH's impression is I-kid-you-not indistinguishable from some actual paragraphs on Yarvin's old Unqualified Reservations blog.
I appreciated this pieces' exploration of statistical illiteracy and confused tribal boundaries. Great work, Richard!
Ron Unz beats around the bush in order to communicate the following idea to the Right, should it listen carefully and read between the lines: "Browns — be they Hispanic, Asian, or Middle Eastern — are actually beneficial to America because they dilute the black demographic and the problems that accompany it. They're also fairly amenable to right-wing politics. So you're better off with them than without them."

Came for the Precambrian Pederast but stayed for the COVID-19 as a US bio-weapon attack on China.

I don’t know what it says about me that I know all these characters and got all the little in-jokes.

He had me at Moldy Marius. Lol.

I couldn’t figure out if it was real or not until Moldy Marius showed up.
Then I spewed milk out my nose.
I haven’t laughed that hard since grade school. Well done.
Funny and on point, particularly the Curtis Yarvin impression. I can't read more than 2 paragraphs of that guy . . .

Some real inside-nutball stuff here. I didn't get 90% of it.
My favorite part of this is when Richard and his attorney crashed the police convention and told the cops tall tales about California druggies.

In order to make myself feel better about Richard's level of talent and success vs. my own, I'll point out that he misspelled "die" as "dye".
