🚨 The Secret Origins of Robin DiAngelo's White "Anti-Racist" Cult You've heard that it's impossible to be racist against white people. That all white people are inherently racist. That the only solution is to "do the work." Where did this all come from? You might know of Critical Race Theory, but there's another source for these ideas you've never heard about. I undertook an unprecedented investigation into the origins of these ideas, pulling documents and microfilms from university special collections and sending people into "anti-racism" workshops with hidden cameras. Here's a summary: • Stokely Carmichael, the Marxist-Leninist founder of the Black Power movement, kicked all the white people out of his organization and told them to "educate other white people" in his views. • Robert Terry, a white man, developed his philosophy of "New White Consciousness" based on Carmichael's views, explaining "we have met the enemy, and they are us." • After the Detroit riots of 1967, Michigan Governor George Romney engages in "riot insurance" by funding racially militant projects. • White K-12 educators receive this funding and teach New White Consciousness. One of these teachers, Alan Hurwitz, gets addicted to crack and becomes a famed serial bank robber. Another, Patricia Bidol, invents to "Power + Prejudice" definition of "racism." • These educators train with the NTL Institute, an organization founded by U.S. intelligence's former director of the "psychological warfare center for the Far East." There they learn psychologically manipulative education techniques that allow them to “form ideology for other people.” • The National Education Association, America's largest teachers union, trains teachers in these ideas nationwide. • Judith Katz, author of the infamous Smithsonian “Aspects & Assumptions of Whiteness” infographic, refines the techniques of "anti-racism" training and drastically increases their popularity. • Robin DiAngelo plagiarizes her predecessors' ideas wholesale, while citing none of them. All of this and so much more is exposed in my new book Redefining Racism, released TODAY. Learn more from the video below. Follow the link in the next tweet to read it for yourself. 🔽

@PauletteAlt I’m agreeing with you. They can’t do anything else and it’s Israel’s fault. Israel created the political conditions that led to the rise of Hamas.

Does Iran have a right to exist? Warning: if you disagree with the right of the modern state of Iran to exist, it means you are an anti-Persian bigot who should be unwelcome in polite society.

He spoke very well against identity politics during the woke era. Really one of the best at that time. And doing so while being a member of the relevant minority group necessarily gets you extra attention. But that moment is over, during it he ended up surrounding himself with neocons, and he doesn’t have any worthwhile personal perspective on foreign policy like he did on identity politics.

I never understood what people were seeing in "Coleman Hughes," and Glenn only confirms that
Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald

I think it's rather odd behavior to tape a 2-hour debate with me only 2 days ago, where I never interrupted you once and so you could say everything you wanted about my arguments, all while heralding the civility of the discussion (which I agreed with), only to then release this lengthy screed on the day you release the debate using all kinds of accusatory language and insulting rhetoric that you didn't use when I was in front of you, and where you to try re-cast all my arguments into something they weren't, and then repeat the same claims you made in the debate, but in a separate article about the debate where I can't respond to them, all to convince everyone that you really won. It would never have occurred to me to write a long article trying to explain to everyone why I was really right about everything in a debate that we just taped two days ago, that was just released today, and which everyone can go watch for themselves. I thought that was why we did it. Now, beyond all that, you're reduced to claiming I'm "lying," all by radically distorting what I said? I explicitly referred to the rather-famous Nixon tapes (you can Google those), not that interview you cited, although I'm glad you published that interview excerpt because I think it's a good thing for people to hear about how the lobby works. You made what I believed were false claims in that discussion, including one about Joe Kent's claims about Israel and the Butler assassination attempt, but I went out of my way to say I assumed you did it in good faith. Anyway, I'm sorry so much of your own audience at the Free Press and on your personal YouTube page thought that I had the better case, and that you had to spend your day in your own comment section arguing with them. I'm willing to let the debate stand on its own because I'm confident in what was demonstrated.

Hamas currently has ~20,000 militants (according to Israeli estimates). Israel has ~634,500 active duty and reserve IDF soldiers. Since Oct 7, Hamas has killed ~1,614 Israelis/people in Israel of whom ~766 were civilians, meaning ~47% civilian casualties. Since Oct 7, Israel has killed ~73,000+ Palestinians of whom ~60,000+ were civilians, meaning ~83% civilian casualties (per the UN Human Rights Council citing Israel’s own intelligence data). Civilians deaths in any amount on any side are a tragedy, but listen to Bryan and keep your attention where it belongs.
Bryan Caplan@bryan_caplan

Standard estimate say there are 20-30k Hamas members. Yet this tiny, impoverished, militarily feeble group has indirectly dominated not just headlines but world history for almost 3 years. What a weird world.

@DavidLBernstein That number is likely an undercount given the issue of recovering bodies and the strict standards by which the GMH includes names on their list, along with the many who will continue to die over the coming years due to injuries and illnesses related to the war.

I wonder if Sam Harris and Bill Maher, who justify Israel's conduct on the basis of its alleged civilizational superiority to its neighbors, will have any comments on the latest pogrom? (Like the other pogroms, this will be condoned by Israeli society and will go unpunished.)
Ihab Hassan@IhabHassane

BREAKING: Israeli settlers’ pogrom across the West Bank continues — 3:00 AM Palestine time. Israeli settlers are attacking the village of Jaloud, setting Palestinian homes and cars on fire, burning down the municipality building, and attempting to burn two families alive inside their house.

I’m happy to look at whatever you read, but the thing is whatever influential descendants they would have had would be Muslim or Catholic now, since the story of those groups ended with their conversion to other faiths. I can say as a matter of personal experience being raised Jewish, there are no remnants of these groups remaining in the Jewish community, and if they did, they’d be considered completely heretical and would not collaborate well with broader Jewish movements.

I have read a little bit about Sabbateans and Frankists. The small amount I have done leaves me with more questions than answers. Which leaves me totally agnostic on the issue. I simply don't have any firm opinions on it. It's clear they were influential in certain places at certain times. I believe elite networks exist. Hidden networks of power. I also believe these networks are multigenerational and that one of their defining characteristics is a different system of morality than the plebs like us have. I have no idea what the inputs and history of that moral code really is. I'm fine with speculation and hypothesis. Jiang is clear that that's what he's engaged in.

If I took the time to write an assessment of Jiang it would probably sound a lot like this.
Lucas Leiroz@leiroz_lucas

Discordo de boa parte dos meus seguidores sobre o professor Jiang Xueqin - youtuber chinês que se tornou viral por suas previsões nos últimos meses. O que mais tenho visto ultimamente é gente tentando de alguma forma atacar a credibilidade dele ou ligá-lo a serviços secretos (chineses ou americanos). Sinceramente, não sei qual a relevância disso numa era em que todos os grandes influenciadores internacionais são sabidamente ligados agências de inteligência. Jiang fala bem abertamente sobre sua trajetória. Ele não finge ser um acadêmico - pelo contrário, deixa claro que é apenas um professor de inglês e que seu trabalho com história e geopolítica é "extraoficial". A alcunha de "professor" (que implica autoridade acadêmica em inglês) vem de seus fãs. Quanto a seu método, tudo que posso dizer é que tem sido eficiente para prever os eventos contemporâneos. Ele utiliza duas plataformas de predição, uma baseada na psico-história e outra na Teoria dos Jogos. Acho que não preciso comentar sobre a Teoria dos Jogos, então vamos focar na psico-história. É um método herdado da ficção, dos livros de Isaac Asimov, nos quais personagens usam "algoritmos históricos" para prever o comportamento de grandes populações. Apesar de ser sistematizado na ficção, o método não é novo em si mesmo havendo várias teorias cientificamente consagradas que trabalham com conceitos como dinâmica cíclica das civilizações e padrões de repetição dos grandes eventos. Eu particularmente trabalho profundamente com estes conceitos em minhas leituras, embora eu não tenha a psico-história do Asimov como sistema analítico. Prefiro ler o mundo pela ótica civilizacional de Oswald Spengler, dos ciclos etnogênicos de Lev Gumlev, da geo-história de Carl Schmitt, dos Logoi de Aleksandr Dugin e vários outros conceitos de diversos autores. Contudo, todos estes autores e conceitos culminam num ponto central: existem padrões históricos que nos permitem entender o "algoritmo" das civilizações e assim antecipar o comportamento de grandes populações. Esse método é excelente para prever grandes eventos, mas insuficiente para predizer ações de curto prazo - como quando uma guerra vai começar, quais serão as consequências imediatas de um conflito etc. Jiang complementa sua análise histórica com a Teoria dos Jogos para prever com mais precisão eventos de curto prazo. É um método que eu particularmente dispenso, já que sou avesso à ideia de futurologia na análise internacional, mas admito que Jiang tem sido extremamente eficiente em seu uso e tem conseguido uma grande margem de acertos. E essa quantidade de acertos está simplesmente embaralhando os analistas. Alguns acreditam que ele não tem método algum, e que na verdade seria um agente de inteligência americano previamente ciente das decisões do governo Trump. Isso me parece a maior fantasia possível, ainda mais considerando que ele atua livremente na China, com fama mundial e usando publicamente uma rede social banida em território chinês. Não sei se ele é "espião" ou não, mas, se for, está mais para um ativo chinês do que americano. Agora, outra coisa pela qual o atacam muito é por supostamente ser um "místico", "esotérico" ou "conspirólogo". Isso porque ele fala em conceitos que são há anos amplamente discutidos a nível científico, como a convergência das escatologias e a existência de camadas profundas de poder (sobre este último, a diferença é que vocês chamam isso de "Deep State" e ele chama de "sociedades secretas"). A convergência escatológica das religiões tradicionais é um tema profundamente debatido no mundo todo - exceto no Brasil, onde ainda insistimos em relativizar a cor verde da grama. Dugin é quem aborda isso de forma mais detalhada, eu diria. O grande problema desse debate no Ocidente é que o materialista iletrado ouve falar em escatologia e já começa a se contorcer achando que tudo é "misticismo" já que ele "não acredita nisso" - como se a crença dele importasse alguma coisa para o israelense falando em derrubar Al Aqsa para trazer o Messias. Sobre a questão das camadas de poder, eu fico ainda mais impressionado com a ingenuidade de alguns internautas. Alguém realmente tem dúvidas de que todos os países do mundo são governados por sociedades secretas (amigas ou inimigas entre si) detentoras do poder real, das quais os governos oficiais são apenas representantes públicos? Alguém realmente acha que isso é "teoria da conspiração"? Aliás, alguém ainda acredita em "teoria da conspiração" num mundo pós-Epstein? (OBS: não estou dizendo que o mundo é governo por uma mesma elite secreta - isso seria loucura. Estou dizendo que cada país/região/civilização tem suas próprias sociedades secretas.) Enfim, tem muitas coisas que discordo do Jiang, mas eu estaria sendo desonesto se dissesse que seu método é uma farsa ou que suas análises são inválidas por ele supostamente pertencer a algum serviço secreto. Penso que as críticas a ele devem ser diretas ao conteúdo, apontando possíveis erros de método e previsões frustradas. Atacar seu "conspiracionismo" ou suas "ligações com a inteligência" não chega a lugar nenhum. Agora, o que eu posso dizer sem dúvidas é que tanto a popularidade dele quanto os seus odiadores se dão por uma mesma razão: Jiang traz uma base mais sólida para a análise internacional. Ele foge dos clichês liberais das RI, segundo os quais tudo no mundo é um cálculo de "interesses de Estados". O uso da psico-história e de temas escatológicos - e até "conspirológicos" - traz uma base mais profunda para analisar a realidade. Isso agrada aqueles que já estão saturados das análises liberais economicistas - e irrita aqueles que vivem dessas análises. Por exemplo, Jiang faz um trabalho sensacional ao trazer para o debate sobre Israel, Epstein e sionismo a atuação das seitas extremistas judaicas dos sabatistas e frankistas. É totalmente impossível entender tanto o modus operandi sionista quanto as perversidades de Epstein sem entender quem são os sabatistas/frankistas, quem foram os dönmeh no Império Otomano e por aí vai. Lamento para quem acha que Epstein era apenas um cafetão-espião de Israel, mas a verdade é que tem um fundo teológico-escatológico em tudo isso - e pouco importa se você pessoalmente "acredita" nisso ou não. Eu diria que Jiang tem um excelente material introdutório à maior parte dos temas que ele comenta. Sua série sobre História da Civilização é especialmente interessante e digna de atenção. Mas não dá para tomar acriticamente como verdade tudo que ele diz. É necessário um filtro, que só pode ser construído com leituras aprofundadas sobre os temas que ele aborda.

Words are very important. Tucker does a great job of breaking down the trite Zionist talking point of a nation having a right to exist here. No government has a RIGHT to exist. Humans have rights, governments do not. If a government is consistently harming HUMANS’ rights to exist it must be dealt with. That applies to Israel and every other government on the planet.

The term "woke right" always made me wonder. It was used against people who weren't typically slinging accusations of bigotry or attempting to shut others down, by people who were using exactly those tactics. The meaning was inverted--because woke invariably turns irony up to 11
Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald

Nobody uses what had long been derided as "woke tactics" more than the Mark Levin wing of the US Right (aka: MAGA): They spend all day, every day, calling their opponents BIGOTS and ANTI-SEMITES, and constantly invent reasons why the speech they most hate should be censored:

We can test 2+2=4, but we cannot disprove it by testing it. If you tested it and found 2+2=5 then it would be your experiment that was wrong, not the mathematical theory. 2+2 cannot equal 5. It is categorically impossible. Similarly, economies cannot perform economic calculation without free market prices. I don’t think I’m going to convince you over tweet, but please consider reading the book I originally recommended. It is very, very short and straight to the point. cdn.mises.org/Economic%20Cal…

@JosephJakeKlein @philoshua @History__Speaks 2+2 = 4 is true regardless of us testing it...but we can also test it. Because it's a positive claim. Can we test this person's theory that something "cannot work" or is categorically impossible? Science doesn't generally get involved with proving negatives. Theory, not science

I don’t advocate the embargo stay in place, nor do libertarians or advocates of the Austrian school in general. It’s one thing to mock the Austrian view while being of the mainstream neoclassical synthesis view, it’s quite another to mock it while appealing to even more fringe communist economics. Moreover, the economic calculation problem is from the era of Austrian economics that has all been absorbed into the mainstream, so that appeal to mainstream consensus is not even relevant here.
