I’m starting to think more about status anxiety and how it’s probably a bigger factor behind virtue signaling and the whole SJW phenomenon. Living in an urban environment exacerbates status anxiety and degrades self-worth, which is where you typically see a much higher concentration liberals and virtue signaling — and add to that the pervasiveness of social media, which also induces status anxiety. Imagine being a middle class midwit, living in an urban environment, constantly having to be around people that have higher economic/social status, that are visibly having a better life than you — of course you would feel insecure about it. But how could you bring your own status up to par? In that context, showing you’re a more “virtuous” person would be the only route, it would make you feel more equal — or at least better about yourself relative to them — despite having less status in other areas of your life. Notice that liberals also do this through world travel, trying to show how cosmopolitan and “well traveled” they are via social media selfies in other countries, no matter how vapid and touristy the actual experience is. Without social media, I don’t think half as many people would claim to care about being “well traveled.”

This would explain why liberals care so little about truth, logic and consistency. It’s not what they say that really matters, it’s why they’re saying it, and why they “think” they believe the things they claim to.

Contrast this with a man that lives in the countryside and only sees a handful of people on a daily basis. He doesn’t suffer from status anxiety, he has fewer people to prove anything to, so he has little need to virtue signal, hence why you rarely find liberals in the rural countryside.

Uncle Ted was right about oversocialization.

UPDATE: A 2021 study (published five days ago) has successfully confirmed the relationship between Jomon and Ancient North Siberians. They tested "whether the Jomon had any contact with continental Upper Paleolithic people after the divergence of their lineage" and found that the results supported "gene flow between the ancestors of Jomon and Ancient North Siberians, a population widespread in North Eurasia before the LGM."

Expect more interesting finds on this topic in the future.

I went for a walk in the mountains

I used to follow the manosphere when I was a younger man, and I remember following people like Mike Cernovich on Twitter back in the very early 2010s, years before the whole MAGA movement. I remember Cernovich making fun of Jews and supporting Open Borders For Israel. The manosphere at that time was a friendly bridge to the emerging AltRight, a bridge for men wanting to be red pilled on every issue. But then I noticed Jews like Jack Murphy joining the manosphere community and instantly becoming influential, seemingly out of nowhere, and it suddenly transformed into this cheap civnat-MAGA pseudo-masculinity movement. The figures that stayed within that manosphere circle (what was left of it) changed their sentiments quickly: they became more friendly with zionist conservative grifters, and always steered discourse away from race. The most intelligent and interesting people from within the manosphere, like Heartiste and Roosh, were the ones that left that sphere once it became a stale civnat community full of life-advice “gurus” peddling ebooks.

Today, this manosphere clique has created this pseudo-masculinity cult that’s not unlike the pseudo-patriotism found from the folks at Black Rifle Coffee. And behind it all, there are jews.

Heartiste is brilliant, he went from using physiognomy to judge women to using it to suss out soys and Jews

The real men left the manosphere. All of us here that remember the original manosphere can relate to this.

I think it’s extremely important that we form a consensus on how we think of the concept of “racism” and how we deal with any accusations of “racism” directed at us. I really look forward to useful discussions like these:

https://news.1rj.ru/str/nixtream/163

From a great article on Counter-Currents:

"You should never use this term ['racism' or 'racist'] in your conversations or writings, unless you are using it ironically or to deconstruct and undermine the concept itself. All other uses for it are feeding the fire with oxygen.

When the term does come up, use every conversational trick to devalue its currency. Just smirk when someone else uses it, or put verbal quotation marks around it if you have to use it yourself.

If directly confronted with the accusation, simply say that “racism” doesn’t mean anything to you. The important thing is to neither admit nor deny it, but rather to reject the very concept itself...."

On the other hand, I can understand the people that still want to say “f#ck it” and just embrace the R word.

https://news.1rj.ru/str/fash1848/3379

Maybe it would be more effective to refer to racism/racist as the R word (at least outside of our circles) that makes it sound like a dreadful, taboo slur in a way that establishes a boundary. “Oh, you called me the R word? You just had to use the R word because you’re anti-White?”

If certain groups can make our people afraid of using specific words to identify them (like the K word, the J word, and the N word) we ought to try to impose the same sort of verbal boundaries on them. In addition to accusing them of being anti-White when they criticize us, why not also try to shame them for using the R word by calling it the R word? If we could just make a habit out of it, who knows, maybe someday it’ll catch on. Hopefully one day, Whites will see the R word the same way blacks see the N word. We should try to impose boundaries just as other racial groups do.

>Genetic origins of the Etruscans: New study on ancient Central Italy

Quick rundown covering the genetic shifts in Central Italy during three major periods: Roman Republic, Imperial, and Post-Imperial Medieval.

Surprisingly, this study admits that the demographics of Italy were destroyed by an immigrant emperor who granted full Roman citizenship to every ethnicity within the Empire. Citizenship was previously limited to ethnic Italians and a minority of important client state nobles.
