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.
The entire piece is premised on the idea that immigrants vote DEM because the GOP is mean to them.
There is little evidence of this. The GOP has spent decades now trying to be nice to immigrants, to no avail. It's done amnesty, it's purged the paleos and everyone else that could be offensive, its bent over backwards.
If "being nice to minorities and encouraging immigration and amnesty" was a winning formula Romney wouldn't have gotten a record low share of immigrants. The dude is the embodiment of the nice welcoming Mormon.
Meanwhile, talking bad about immigrants and abusing them only seems to increase GOP vote share amongst immigrants. If I had to guess, immigrants hate immigrants and there is nothing to lose trying to keep out these future DEM voters.
The alternative explanation for immigrant voting patterns is that they like the DEM policies. They liked them back in their home countries, and they like them here. All the polls and their voting patterns say they like leftist policies.
Hispanics like government handouts and subsidies they don't pay enough taxes for and racial spoils (for Hispanics). Back in their home countries they basically support whatever level of socialism and racial spoils they can get away with, and sometimes they even go too far and trash their countries. Most of the increase in government spending these last decades has been in those states and localities where Hispanics turned them into one party DEM states.
Asians are a docile ant people. They like universal healthcare, five year industrial roadmaps set by the government, and being told what to do. They are atheists that don't have children. Their dream is to assimilate into being urban coastal progressives.
None of them like black crime, but they take it as the cost of doing business to get the other stuff they want out of being part of the Dem coalition. Even Asians don't care about affirmative action per se only that it affects Asians. If they could get a carve out they would be fine with discriminating against whites. In minority business loans they are fine taking them based on their race.
This is why the GOP can't win them over, and why trying to win them over with amnesty and lax immigration policy is doomed. The only way for the GOP to become the party immigrants vote for is to stop being the GOP. I don't want the taxes, dysfunction, high cost of living, hostile government, anti-family etc of California. I don't want California with a RINO governor that is no different. I've had that, you get the same taxes and government dysfunction and your kid has to wear a mask all day. If that's what it on offer, there is no point.
I think the GOP should just stand for what it stands for and also keep immigrants out as best it can. If "the die is cast" and we are doomed to all turn into California then it is what it is. Importing more immigrants or trying to out DEM the DEMs will only make that happen faster.
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!

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 . . .
As romans-à-clef go, I'd give this one four stars.

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.
Though Modly Marius loves Precambrian Pedarast, I bet the Trad Catholics love the PP even more.

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".
