HOW THE AFFIRMATIVE-RIGHT SAVES LIVES

This one slipped through our fingers. Sorry, SPLC.

Dylann Roof, the young man who shot and killed nine relatively decent Black people in a Charleston church, used a gun (obviously) and was motivated by White nationalism (apparently).

Because of this there will be talk of banning guns and clamping down on White nationalism.

But banning guns in America is simply not doable. This is because gun ownership is embedded in American culture and society, and the continuing threat from the criminal classes will mean that White Americans will continue to support it.

THE POLITICS OF NIHILISM


Some occurrences have a touch of unreality about them. They seem so unlikely that an alternative explanation must be in order. Indeed, last week’s Oslo massacre has many speculating about a vast conspiracy of some sort orchestrated by a shadowy, all-powerful cabal to manipulate world opinion in some nefarious manner.

Yet the simplest explanation of events—however seemingly outlandish—is usually the parsimonious one. Thus, it appears that Anders Behring Breivik—this preening 32-year-old Nordic pretty boy with a narcissistic proclivity to photograph himself playing dress-up—really did commit one of the worst atrocities in recent Scandinavian history all by his lonesome.
