Notes on Mark Lu's "Worker/Peasant/Soldier Students" in American Renaissance — Comparisons between Affirmative Action in US and Red-over-Expert Program in Maoist China — Affirmative Action vs East-Asian-Americans — Visceral Hierarchy at the Core of Affirmative Action

https://www.amren.com/commentary/2022/02/worker-peasant-soldier-students/

Idealism, when practiced by zealots, often leads to disaster.

Yes, but it's usually the case that the said idealism is actually cynically exploited by the powerists. It serves as cover for tribal or factional vying for dominance.

Egalitarianism, one of the seemingly noble hallmarks of communism and left liberalism, has heavily influenced many aspects of American life.

Opportunity-egalitarians and outcome-egalitarians are always at odds. Both are problematic, made worse by the advent of feminism. With opportunity-egalitarianism(aka meritocracy) + feminism, smartest men and smartest women tend to rise to the top, and they marry one another and have smarter children who come to monopolize the upper echelons as the permanent genetic elite caste. Over time, most people with smart genes reach the top, and the lower classes are left with the dummies.
When egalitarianism first got off the ground, there were many smart people among the working class and the peasantry(as they'd been barred from social mobility). Their kind had been at the lower rungs of society in a system that favored the aristocracy and bloodlines: Dumb nobleman was advantaged over the smart commoner. With opportunity-egalitarianism, the smart ones on the bottom could reach for the top, and this seemed fair and just. But over time, the lower classes became depleted of smart people who became concentrated at the top that mined for IQ gold — this is now happening on a global scale as the First World attracts smartest people in the Third World. At least before feminism, many smart and successful men married their hometown sweethearts who weren't exactly brains, as Charles Murray detailed in COMING APART. So, smart genes got distributed among the less intelligent: Smart men with less-smart women. But since the changes wrought by feminism, we have smart men and smart women marrying one another, and so, smart genes hardly get spread outside the smart set. In the past, smart and successful man would have chosen a woman for her feminine qualities, mothering potential, and the like. Nowadays, smart men seek out smart women and look down on unsmart women as trashy bimbos. But then, even as elites get smarter, they've gotten stupider because they live in their own bubble of conceited privileged and self-adoration. Chelsea Clinton isn't dumb but she is STOOOOOPID.

So, in the long run, opportunity-egalitarianism has turned out to be a big bust, creating a conceited genetic elite over the rest. Scum over Dumb.

It has also led to demands of outcome-egalitarianism as so many people feel the new order is no less rigged, especially as the public discourse had made candid discussion of genes-and-success a taboo topic. If not genes, then what? The only answer for many is 'systemic racism' and 'social injustice'.
Now, the game of outcome-egalitarianism didn't really begin with Affirmative Action, which made it official than merely de facto. All through US history, there were various ersatz forms of affirmative action that tipped the scale for the less advantaged and/or talented who might otherwise lose out in the competition, meritocratic or otherwise. It was obvious in the exclusion of blacks from sports, which made it possible for white males to be competitive, just like exclusion of men makes for women's sports. Legacy has been one de facto form of affirmative action in elite colleges. White race-ism also had this effect. Through much of US history, lesser-skilled whites were favored over more skilled blacks(though, apart from sports and popular music, blacks were generally far less skilled than whites and would have lost out meritocratically at any rate). Alan Dershowitz in CHUTZPAH recounts how, upon his graduation, WASPs got better job offers than Jews who graduated with higher distinction. Also, there were various forms of ethnic rigging in cities. The Irish came to be masters at this, and many departments became the mainstay of Irish networking, pissing off not only blacks but other white ethnics. Some may see this as 'racist', therefore rightist, but it had a leftist component as well. Many ethnics felt justified in looking out for one another in a WASP-dominated system thought to be rigged against their kind. So, it was a kind of ethno-leftism. Much of Italian organized crime had this character as well. It was supposedly sort of Robin-Hood-like as the hoodlums stole from America but spread the goods among those in the community. Consider the film THE IRISHMAN, how the Union looked out for the truck drivers, EVEN WHEN it knew they were stealing on the job. It was an us-versus-them mentality. We have-lesses taking from the have-mores.

And such sentiments may spread among future whites because so many of them have been written off as 'white trash scum' by the elites. If, in the past, white elites favored white masses over the nonwhites, the current white elites not only cuck to Jews and rub shoulders with non-white elites but even favor blacks and nonwhite masses over white masses. (Even the GOP is pretty useless, and Canadian 'conservative leaders' are even worse.)
If the white elites suck up to Jews and don't look out for the white masses, whites should go into Robin-Hood mode and do whatever's in their favor. It's time for Neo-Fascism.
The Democratic Party blatantly favors Jews, white cuck-elites, blacks, illegals, and Hindus over white masses. GOP does little but suck up to Jews and Big Capital(which now happens to be mostly Democratic, which makes the pro-capitalist Republican message even more pathetic). In the past, there was FDR to offer the New Deal, a kind of lefto-fascism, to the white working class and agrarian folks(who got electricity and indoor plumbing). Now, the Democratic Party's message to white masses is 'die of opioids' and 'we will replace you', and the GOP's message is 'go fight Russia for Ukraine' and 'praise Israel'. When the system is so corrupt and insane, whites should give up on Rule of Law and Meritocracy and go into empowerment mode by any means necessary. It's time for Revolution.

Affirmative action is an example. When applied to college enrollment, it is based on the idea that blacks, Hispanics, American Indians, and other minorities don’t do well because of slavery and discrimination... Although genes and environment each account for roughly half of personality and mental traits, egalitarianists tend to ignore genes.

That's what the say, but don't be fooled. AA isn't really about redressing past wrongs. After all, black African immigrants get AA. But why? They are likely the descendants of Africans who captured and sold slaves to whites and Arabs. Yet, these black newcomers get the same AA privileges. Also, what is meant by 'Hispanic'? You could be a totally white Hispanic whose Conquistador ancestors invaded, raped, and 'genocided' the native populations but still count as part of the 'people of color' in the US(whereas Arabs have long been lumped with whites). Jews underplay white Hispanic historical 'crimes' because white Hispanics are valued as allies against whites. (It's also why Jewish media and entertainment have a more favorable view of Italian mafia than Wasp elites. When Italians act tribal in movies and TV shows, it's kind of cool, but the slightest whiff of Wasp privilege is denounced as RACIST. Tribal Italians wiping out a rival gang in a bloodbath is deemed less outrageous than some WASP country club excluding Jews who wanted to ogle at blonde 'shikses'.) Also, weren't Asian-Americans discriminated against in the past? Chinese who worked on railroads weren't treated very nicely. Japanese-Americans were 'interned'. So, why isn't that taken into consideration when AA is used against Asians?

By the way, AA is especially bogus because the biggest losers are not rich and privileged whites but poor whites. If a rich white scores 120, a poor white scores 120, and a black scores a 100, it's the poor white(usually rural or from small town) who will be sacrificed in favor of the black. Besides, rich whites have many more connections and opportunities whereas poor whites don't. Much of AA is about rich whites partnering with the better blacks(as the sacred race) against poor whites(as 'racists') even though rich whites hog the privilege and don't have to worry about black crime as they live in nice communities with few blacks.

The University of California system dropped the SAT requirement for applicants on the assumption that the tests don’t reflect the true academic abilities blacks and Hispanics. This is supposed to be because many are poor and can’t afford private tutoring. Many of the children of my Chinese friends never hired tutors or went to tutoring centers but still got high SAT scores. This is not due only to genes. Their parents emphasized education, while the children themselves worked hard and stayed away from drugs and gangs.

Look, people who push AA know this. Sure, there are ideological dumbasses, the true believers, but trust me, most people in positions in power know the truth that we know though they're loathe to admit it publicly. AA isn't based on misguided ideology but racial idolatry. The fact is Americans prefer blacks over Asians, and funnier yet, even Asians often prefer non-Asians over Asians. (Why is Mark Lu living in the West with a white name? Why doesn't he want to live with his own kind? If he didn't choose to emigrate to the West, why did his parents or grandparents? You see, Asians would rather be minorities in white societies than be part of the majority in Asia. In the US, imitative yellows are either wanna-be-whites or wanna-be-blacks or globo-homo-freaks or Jew-worshipers.)

Just think. Suppose blacks had smart genes and do really well in school without AA. Suppose blacks, being 13% of the population, made up 40% of students at elite colleges. Do you think anyone would complain? No, they would be cheering it on. Notice the controversy is always about not-enough-black-quarterbacks, never about not-enough-white-running-backs, or not enough browns in the NBA. No one complains that NBA is Too Black. You see, not-enough-black means insufficient diversity, but all-black is total diversity.
Same with Jews. It's never a problem for there to be lots of Jews. Biden's administration is overflowing with Jews, but who's complaining? If whites are even slightly over-represented(or even when under-represented), people scream 'racism'. But NO ONE complains about Too Many Jews in Wall Street, Hollywood, Mass Media, Silicon Valley, Las Vegas, top Law firms, and etc. Jews, like blacks, are deemed awesome, the rightful rulers of the US. Even critics of Hollywood bitch about Hollywood being 'too white' while never mentioning Jews. And the solution is always to get rid of more white goyim while Jews remain intact in all the power structure. So, this stuff about 'egalitarianism' or 'equity' is really ideological. There's no problem with blacks and Jews(and homos) totally dominating certain areas. They are deemed the superior people who deserve to dominate and rule. It's a problem ONLY WHEN they are under-represented. The problem with Asian over-representation is they are Asian, or 'lame'. Americans don't want such a wussy race to outperform the rest in anything.

So, California's dropping of SAT isn't about misguided ideology. It's about Californians, even many Asians, preferring blacks over yellows. People just don't like nerds and geeks, and many feel a visceral disgust about Asian dorks like some people have toward homos. Yellows are like the original and ultimate soy boy dorks, and it just FEELS wrong that they should be doing better in anything. To an extent, Jews faced the same kind of hostility in the past. The Aryans felt it was wrong that a bunch of short, hairy, hook-nosed Semites should be exceling in prestigious fields and even over-taking the goyim. It seemed like an aesthetic crime against humanity, and it underpinned much of Nazi thinking and WASP disapproval of Jews, and indeed even many Jews who'd gained a measure of respectability looked down on the more vulgar Jewish elements(usually from Eastern Europe) as gross and embarrassing. Then, it's no wonder that Jewish Hollywood often used Aryan actors to play Jews. Moses was far more palatable and noble-seeming when played by Charlton Heston than Chico Marx. Jane Fonda played Lillian Hellman in JULIA. Ayn Rand expressed her Jewishness through WASP heroes, and Jewish comic book artists employed Aryan archetypes to mete out Jewish fantasies of justice. But over time, Jews overcame their 'geek' disadvantage with force of will(and pushy personality), wit & humor, shameless chutzpah, and Holocaust mythology, which made 'antisemitism' taboo. Woody Allen is gross to look at but always makes you laugh, and so, you end up liking him on some level. In contrast, yellows are not only dorky but passive and colorless, rather like the 'beaners', their genetic cousins.

Humans are still animal in their psyche. Animals react viscerally. The animal-side of humans still feel this way. When black destroyed whites in sports, took over popular music, and spread jungle fever, America came to revere blacks as the awesome race. So, even as a white 'liberal' may be for colorblind justice for all on the intellectual level, he or she is besotted with blacks as the alpha race. This is even true in China and Japan. Chinese dork boys worship black NBA superstars and look down on their slow geek players. Japan is now promoting jungle fever and encouraging their women to have kids with Negroes while Japanese soy-boys worship cutey-idols and remain virgins all their lives.

So, even though Asians do well on tests and get good grades, they seem sickly, icky, dorky, and pee-wee in the eyes of the world. Elite Asian women in Hong Kong and Singapore often get impregnated via white sperm banks because they'd rather have Eurasian kids than 'ugly' and 'inferior' yellow babies. It's about racial idolatry, and yellows are at the very bottom of the idolatrous hierarchy. To be sure, Asian women have market value as far as bamboo fever goes, but even the fact that Asian women prefer whites(and even blacks) over yellow dorks like Mark Lu means yellows have low appeal on the visceral 'animal' level of attraction.

Then, it all makes sense. This is why Californians(and Americans in general) hate the idea of Asians taking up so many elite academic slots. Why should a people so gawky, geeky, timid, dog-like, and wimpy dominate elite fields? Besides, didn't they get good grades because all they did was study, study, and study like ants than lead a balanced life like human beings? The test-prepping culture all across Asia and Asia-America is truly SICK and demented, a cancerous outgrowth of Confucianism.

At least, Hindus are colorful and have some sense of humor. Yellows are colorless and just plain yella. Indeed, notice how so many yellows in California support discriminatory policies against their own kind. Unlike Jews with their chutzpah and blacks with their hollering rage, yellows are always cowering and servile EVEN WHEN they're discriminated against. (To be sure, it's the elite yellows who generally support AA that disadvantages other yellows. This is because status matters more than race/tribe among the yellows. So, when a yellow gains success, his priority is approval from the establishment, thus securing his status among the 'best kind of people'. A yellow who fails to gain acceptance to elite institution may bitch and whine, but a yellow who is accepted will immediately turn his back on yellows who didn't make it and secure his good standing with the official dogma of 'diversity'.)

Such a wussy race doesn't deserve elite slots in society. They're dogs. Blacks beat up yellows, but yellows don't call out the blacks. They blame 'white supremacism' because they're such imitative servile dogs eager for approval from the Power. Since Jews rule the US and say 'white supremacism' is to blame for everything, yellows blame whites when it's the jivers who are pushing them into subway trains. As long as so many yellows are this lame, whites shouldn't waste ANY sympathy on them. Also, most yellows who do enter elite institutions totally imbibe 'wokeness' and serve the Deep State against White America. Then, they export this garbage back to their home countries, which is why globo-homo and BLM symbolism have spread all over East Asia as well. What a bunch of dogs.

In a way, AA isn't anti-hierarchical but corrective-hierarchical. On the visceral level, Americans feel that awesome blacks should succeed more and gain prominence in the choice institutions of society. They also feel, on the visceral level, that unimpressive-looking dork-yellows shouldn't gain dominance in society. This is hierarchical thinking, indeed not unlike Nazi view of Aryans and Jews. In the visceral vision of the Nazis, the noble-looking Aryans should be masters of the world whereas Nibelungen-like Jews should be dwarfs in the underworld. Aryans are heroic, Jews are grubby. Aryans are great warriors, Jews are weasel-merchants. In BLADE RUNNER, Asians are like the Nibelungen untermensch hunched over dork-work, whereas Roy Batty(Rutger Hauer) is the great Aryan archetype. No one feels much sympathy for Chu the eye-maker, but Batty's death is seen as tragic even though he's a psycho-killer. But on the visceral level, he is magnificent whereas Chu "just make eyes" and squawks like a scared chicken.
AA is sold as 'equity' or 'egalitarianism' but is really premised on visceral awe of blacks as the real master race who must have more representation. On that 'animal' level, it seems unjust that such a badass race is under-represented while the geek yellow race is so over-represented in elite slots. This is what HBD, in all its aspergy-ness about IQ, will never understand. It is why Charles Murray is utterly clueless about the black problem. He only fixates on IQ and tests and schooling. He fails to delve into the psychological and mythological underpinning of AA which is premised in visceral hierarchy that places blacks on top. As Jared Taylor is also essentially an HBD-ist, he also refuses to face what's really behind AA. And as Mark Lu wrote his piece for American Renaissance, he probably shares in the aspergy fixation on IQ. It overlooks the hierarchy of 'viscerality'.

There was a news leak suggesting that one reason why Elite Universities discriminate against yellows is because they're deemed to have inferior personalities, and there's a kernel of truth to this. Western Universities should be places of innovation and original thought, dissent and experimentation. But yellows are all about doing it by the book, all about studying hard without asking questions. Yellows are intellectual dominos; they all fall the same way. Jews push globo-homo, and yellows in the West pick it up, and then yellows in the East follow along. It's like monkey see, monkey do. So, higher test scores don't necessarily mean more intellectual spark. If anything, it could be a sign of less originality. It's like so many Asians practice long and hard at violin or piano and play classical music really well, but they're playing music created by another people. In terms of originality, the low IQ blacks and even taco-munching Mexicans are more original than most yellows in music.

The paradox of Asian academic crisis is this: Elite academia is about building up a class of leaders, but yellows like to serve and follow. What's the point of yellows entering elite fields of leadership if their main mode is to take orders and follow? So, from a personality viewpoint, yellows would do better to attend technical colleges, learned some geek computer skills, and find niches as those who take orders in Big Tech companies to code and etc.

Granted, the elite colleges are full of shit because, due to PC and 'wokeness', the Western University has given up on free thought and open discussion in favor of dogma, conformism, and idolatry of special groups, especially Jews, homos, and blacks. Given the academia insists on iron consensus, yellows should now make the ideal student body as they are mentally clone-like. Still, they are disfavored because Americans have a visceral dislike for yellows who look seem like human prunes, all brains and dried of body and soul.

When affirmative action is carried out in extremes, it is not only white, Jewish, and Asian students and job applicants who suffer.

Really?

So, who's calling out that there are too many Jews in Biden's administration? Who's saying there are too many JEWISH lawyers? Who's calling out on Jewish domination of Wall Street and Las Vegas? Who's calling out on AIPAC's influence?

If anything, Jewish Power is obnoxious precisely because it's a combination of ultra-meritocracy, ultra-tribalism, and ultra-affirmative-action. It's ultra-meritocratic because many Jews are indeed very smart and capable. But Jews also work tribally to favor one another. How else to explain so many second-rate Jews in elite fields? Look how the Neocon scum responsible for Iraq Debacle never had to pay a price and are appointed to key positions. Notice how Jews in the Deep State and media work together to push fake news, all the while bitching about 'misinformation'. But there is also ultra-affirmative-action. Israel is a rich country, by far the most advanced in the Middle East. And yet, US gives Israel more aid than any other country. Imagine that. Jews are awesomely rich & powerful and Israel is a First World Nation, and yet they hog most of the sympathy while Palestinians get nothing. In fact, worse than nothing as BDS targets individuals who are for Palestinian justice. It's like a Jewish billionaire getting extra money while a homeless Palestinian is robbed of his last penny. Affirmative Action for billionaire Jewish Supremacists. Sick.
The current system allows Zionists who support the 'genocide' of Palestinians to have full access to financial services and then some, BUT anyone who supports the truckers in Canada is targeted for financial ruin and destitution. And who can forget the Wall Street bailouts of 2009? Affirmative Action for the super-rich gamblers. Jews also rigged the system so that their minion-allies, ANTIFA and BLM, can loot and burn but walk away with a slap on the wrist while 1/6 'insurrectionists' still rot in prison without trial. A scum like Jonathan Pollard is given the red carpet treatment while whites who fought back against Antifa are locked in prison to be ass-raped by blacks. This is Jew-America, where Jews not only have more than the rest but get more special favors as well. Jews get both the fruits of meritocracy, spoils of tribalism, and rewards of AA.

But Mark Lu is bitching about how the system treats Jews unfairly? Typical yellow dog attitude. We've all been drummed with the BS that everything has to be framed within the narrative of Jewish Victimhood. So, even when Jews are the victimizers, we must twist logic to pretend that Jews are victimized and ill-served. Lame!
No, Jews are the ones who push AA, and it is to bolster Jewish Power. Sure, some Jews may lose out to blacks(and others), but Jewish Power sees it as a worthy gambit. Lose a little but gain a lot more. Jews know that white Americans worship blacks as the awesome race of rappers, athletes, and studs; it intensifies 'white guilt' because the Awesome Race had been wronged in the past. Jews know blackness is the most potent instrument in controlling white hearts and minds. Besides, as Jews have gotten so rich and privileged(and as more are noticing the Zionist oppression of Palestinians), Jews value the Jew-Negro alliance. That way, Jews can claim to be on the side of angels by saying, "Look, magical blacks are with us." So, Jews do special favors for blacks to keep them allied with Jews. They lose a little but gain a lot more. As Jews are pulling this dirty shit, stop with this whining about 'Jewish victimhood' at the hands of AA.

America itself suffers in not being able to enroll and hire the smartest people based on merits. We are in a highly competitive world, and our edge is blunted.

No, you don't understand the plan. The system will continue to choose the best people in areas that really matter: medicine, science, technology, and etc. There's no way some atomic laboratory is going to hire Anferny Jackson to do research with isotopes. Rather, blacks will be hired in publicity departments so that institutions and industries where most of the work is done by whites and Asians will be fronted by blackness. This will be enough for both sides. As whites and servile Asians worship blacks, they will be honored to be represented by a black personality. And as blacks are megalomaniac and hardly look beyond the surface, they will be content with a blackness as the FACE of everything. It will be the Neil Degrasse Tysoning of science.

Now, what's the point of yellows going to good schools and contributing to US? Yellows will never rule the US as (1) they're essentially a servile race(sort of like Mexican browns with higher IQ, not surprising as Mexers have distant Asiatic lineage) and (2) most Americans, white-black-brown-and-even-yellow, will not accept yellows as new overlords(and there are no taboos against China-bashing, just like Japan-bashing was the favorite sport in the 80s). So, even as yellows contribute to the US, all their input will be directed by non-yellows, especially Jews. Jews intend to make China the new bogeyman(and whites will happily go along, if only because it may lessen Jewish hostility against whites if directed at China, when not Russia and Iran). Consider the level of anti-China hatred among American 'conservatives', and nothing has changed with the JAB administration: JAB = Jews Around Biden. While 'conservatives' and 'liberals' say they have nothing against the Chinese and only against the Chinese government, it's bogus, like saying "We got nothing against Muslims, only terrorists and extremists".

This means no matter how patriotic Chinese-Americans try to be and contribute to US in science/math/technology and tax dollars, all of it will be used by Jews and globalists to spread Anti-China hatred and yellow peril hysteria in general. In other words, a Chinese has to be stupid to contribute anything to a country that has decided to target his kind. There's no sympathy for Chinese being beaten by blacks from either party. The only mainstream narrative is 'Trump and white supremacists done it'. Worse, as yellows are such servile dogs, even they don't name the problem. Jews made blacks sacred, and so, blacks are sacred, and servile and imitative yellows bark accordingly.

Russians and Chinese in the US should think twice about contributing anything to the US, which is ruled by the Jews who often direct white American hatred at FOREIGN nations(except Israel of course). Just like white Americans are STUPID to serve in the US military that only wages Wars for Israel and uses white goy soldiers like dogs and cattle, Chinese in America are retarded to think patriotically.
Those yellows who enter the elite realm serve the neo-imperialist deep state that spreads BLM, globo-homo, and Wars for Israel all over the world. Why take part in such madness? Jewish-ruled US and white cucks have decided that China will be cast as the grand villain. If Rachel Maddow the Jewess really hates Russia, the likes of Tucker Carlson really hate China(and it's not just the government but the people; Carlson and his ilk can accept Asians only as toadies, like Taiwanese cucks and Japanese monkeys, but they cannot tolerate Asians with sovereignty and national pride independent of US power, and that is why they hate China). US as a neo-imperialist power must always project its pathologies onto other nations and make them out to be the New Hitler. So, even though US has been aggressing on Russia, the narrative screams 'Russian aggression' among both Democratic and Republican whore politicians. And even though China is seeking to regain territorial sovereignty after two centuries of foreign aggression, it is made out to be the new GLOBAL threat.
Chinese should study in the West but should never serve the West, no more than Muslims and Arabs should contribute to the US that ruthlessly implements the Zionist agenda to wreck the Middle East and North Africa. Chinese in America should be like Mexicans. Some savvy Mexicans in the US work hard and make some money and then return to their homeland and buy a nice big house as the dollar goes much further there. Likewise, Chinese should sell chop suey and egg rolls in the West and then take the money and buy a house in China and settle down. Why work so hard to assimilate and contribute to the Jewish-run US when it is hellbent on vilifying China? Jewish-run US's ideal of East Asian nation is Taiwan, globo-homo cuck dog of the empire. Even White Americans should give up on patriotism as their country is now all about 'Muh Israel', Homo-worship, Negro-worship, and other garbage. Whites need to go into neo-fascist mode and build a new vision and movement from ground up as the US is morally dead and culturally demented. In the current era, patriotism can only mean loyalty to demonology and satanism.

The Truckers in Canada are waking into a new consciousness, which is why the Power is so eager to crush them. Whites are beginning to realize that goy scum politicians don't represent them but serve the likes of Charles Schwab, Mr. Magoo puppet of the Jews. Why work so hard day after day and pay taxes into a system that hates you and want to replace your kind with foreigners?
Chinese in Canada are especially pathetic. They are trained by elite institutions to hate on native white Canadians. Chinese are working alongside Hindus, blacks, and Muslims at the behest of Jews and white cucks to destroy traditional Canada. That's bad enough. But for all their mindless servitude to the globalist order, Canada(as part of the Jewish-run Anglo-cuck empire) is joining in the vilification of China as the new bogeyman. So, Chinese work with Jews to attack whites, but then Jews still stir up white hatred against Chinese. It's totally messed up and not worth it to anyone with sense.

Egalitarianism also found advocates in China during the Cultural Revolution, which lasted from 1966 to 1976. In 1970, one year after the Cultural Revolution reached its apex in 1969, Chairman Mao ordered institutions of higher learning to enroll students according to a “recommendation system.”

Mao was a nutter, but again, the Cultural Revolution shouldn't be seen merely as ideological purism but a power move. It most certainly wouldn't have happened if Mao hadn't lost face in the aftermath of the Great Leap Forward debacle. GLF was so devastating that Mao yielded much of the day-to-day power to Liu Shao Chi and Deng Xiaoping, the pragmatists. Mao was extremely vindictive, and he eventually wanted to regain full power and prestige. But the bureaucracy was with Liu and Deng. Most of the elites were with the pragmatists. So, Mao decided to sound the alarm with ideological emergency — China was being sold down the river by capitalist-roader reactionaries!!! — to regain full power. He made an alliance with the Lin Piao faction of the military and called on masses of youth to 'bombard the headquarters' to terrorize the bureaucracy. It was a bold move. On the surface, it seemed driven by ideological purism, but it was the only way Mao could reconsolidate full control. It was ideology fueled by egotistic powerism.
Likewise, Stalin's purges in the 30s weren't merely about ideology. It was about purging every last remnant of the Trotskyite faction. Though rationalized ideologically, it was a battle of personalities as Stalin and Trotsky came to hate one another.
In both cases, the Great Purge and the Cultural Revolution, things got out of control and many more lives were destroyed than intended by Stalin or Mao, but it's hard to control a fire that burns out of control. (If Mao was such an ideological purist, why would he have met with Richard Nixon, the representative of the 'monopoly capitalists'? When push came to shove, power mattered more than ideology to Mao. True, Mao was a real communist, but, as with Stalin, his ego always came first.)

Likewise, 'wokeness' is above all a tool of power than a matter of ideology. Like Stalin's purges were really aimed at the Trotsky faction and like Mao's Cultural Revolution was directed against Liu & Deng and the bureaucracy loyal to them, 'wokeness' is essentially a tool of Jewish Power targeted at whiteness. Its ideological origins are Jewish, and its idolatry is controlled by Jews. Its ultimate goal is to expand and secure Jewish Supremacist power. It lacks a consistent moral logic. For example, there's tons of stuff about how whites must atone for their 'sins' against blacks and the Holocaust, but there's nothing about Zionist tyranny over Palestinians, Neocon near-genocidal wars against Arabs/Muslims, murderous Jewish role in Bolshevism, Jewish partnership with Western Imperialists in exploiting gold & diamonds in South Africa and peddling opium to the Chinese. If 'wokeness' were truly based on moral logic, it would denounce ALL forms of ethnic hatred, racial supremacy, and imperialist legacy. But according to 'wokeness', Jewish History is only about great contributions to humanity and tragic victimization at the hands of 'Anti-Semites'(which would also include those calling for Palestinian justice). And there is no moral outrage about black thugs attacking non-blacks. Blacks, like Jews, are given the license to kill. Hypocrisy is integral to 'wokeness' that cynically invokes 'justice' and 'equality' to serve Jewish Supremacism.
Consider how Jews use media to exaggerate claims of 'genocide' of Uighurs by the Chinese government but ignore what Jews are doing to Palestinians and Syria. Most Jews in academia and media claim to be 'liberal' or 'leftist', but their support for 'wokeness' is really a cover for Jewish Supremacism.

In 2020, Jews unleashed BLM and Antifa madness in their great-purge and cultural-revolution against whiteness that re-emerged as populism under Donald Trump. Jews also feared Trump making some inroads among blacks who had enough of mass immigration. So, to shame whiteness and flatter blackness, Jews sensationalized the death of George Floyd and unleashed BLM and Antifa pogroms all over. It was a Jewish Power Move, akin to what Stalin and Mao had done. And as most institutions and industries are led by brainwashed cucks, they too jumped on the 'woke' bandwagon, just like the commissars under Stalin. (Difference between Stalin and Mao. Stalin built up a massive bureaucracy and used it against his enemies. Mao, more a dreamer than manager, allowed others to manage the bureaucracy, and after the debacle of the Great Leap Forward, the bureaucracy was with Liu and Deng. And so, Mao had to call on the radical factions in the military and masses of youths to wage war on the bureaucracy.)

At any rate, 'wokeness' cannot be understood without being identified as the tool of Jews. Jews know their supremacist power relies on white submission. Only the educated class of skilled whites can manage and run the Jewish Hegemonic Empire. This is why Jews fear white identity that may lead to white pride and white autonomy from Jewish Supremacism. And that's why Jews use globo-homo to spread deracination and decadence among whites, and that's why they use blacks to guilt-bait whites. Jews know 'white guilt' about blacks is potent because whites revere blacks as rappers, athletes, studs, orators, and Magic Negroes(like Morgan Freeman in SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and the mountain-sized Negro who wuvs a wittle white house in GREEN MILE. Even after blacks caused so much harm to the US, look at all those whites cheering for black thugs in the Super Bowl. Whites are cucks, or whucks. This is why 'wokeness' is essentially focused on blacks.)

Mao has a famous saying: “The lowly are the most intelligent and the elite are the most ignorant.”

It's too bad that Mao was so rash and pushed things to extremes, because he wasn't entirely wrong. In a similar vein, Bill Buckley said he'd rather be ruled by people randomly pulled out of a phone book than by the 'best and the brightest' from elite colleges. Elites tend to lose contact with reality. Consider the current elites of the West. They got all the credentials and connections, but they're a bunch of craven and conformist careerists who've lost touch with reality. And with rise of globo-homo and Negrolatry among the elites, even their culture and values suck. BLM, by the way, is nothing like real anti-elitism. Rather, it's about rich powerful Jews using black symbolism and muscle to subdue white pride and agency.

Mao over-reacted. It's true that Chinese history was marred by ultra-elitism based on Confucianism. Too much talent was wasted on taking tests that had little to do with reality. In the modern world, Asians are studying real-world stuff like science, medicine, and technology. Still, the over-emphasis on academic prestige has created snobby-elite societies in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea, especially as women have access to higher education as well. So, more and more people don't want to have kids unless they can be assured of academic success. Or they have just one child and focus all attention on him/her. Women don't want to marry 'losers', who could be anyone who didn't go to top school or has a top job. Men don't want to marry 'loser' women without fancy college degrees and with fancy jobs, which means no time for family. As such elitist attitudes have spread far and wide among all levels of Asian society, birthrates have plummeted, even well below birth dearth among whites.

One good thing about communism was it valued the proles and peasants. And National Socialism was even better because it appreciated the German worker who built the autobahn but also allowed private enterprise that fuels economic growth. But the current form of global 'liberal democracy' is pure poison. It's purely elitist. Only the winners of the global game matter. The national masses, increasingly regarded as a bunch of 'losers', don't matter. They are to be replaced by cheap immigrants, or working class jobs are outsourced to poorer nations. Let the national working classes just die, such is the attitude of the globalist elites. It's worse in Asia because even the working classes have totally imbibed neo-Confucian elitism and don't want to have kids unless they can be assured of academic success.

There's no respect for honest labor, which Japanese deride as 'dirty, dangerous, and demeaning'. But who built all the roads in Japan? It wasn't the elite class. National Socialism honored German men working with shovels. They too were embraced as part of the national family. But under global 'liberal democracy', such people are deemed as expendable 'losers' to be replaced by cheaper foreigners. Result is Californization.

By the way, do NOT fall for the BS that globalism and 'wokeness' are leftist. 'Wokeness' is not about the masses against the elites. Indeed, according to globalist 'progressivism', most masses don't matter at all, especially if they are the native masses. No wonder then that 'wokeness' says China and Russia are 'racist' because the governments there still are still responsive to the national masses. Hungary is 'racist' too for appealing to the national folks. And 'wokeness' hates the prole Canadian truckers who had enough of the globalist agenda shoved down their throats and up their arses.

According to 'wokeness', the only proper and acceptable form of 'leftism' is about obedience to Jews, celebration of homos, and cucking before blacks. And about welcoming the great replacement and erasure of the natives. Traditionally, leftism meant politics of the national folks against the oppressive elites. But as Jews control the world, they concocted the bogus 'leftism' of 'wokeness' that would have all the world discredit the interests of the national masses. Elites in all nations(except Israel of course) are urged to denounce nativism as 'racist' and degrade national heritage in favor of globo-homo celebration, Negrolatry(even if the nation has no history of blacks), and remember Nazism as evil incarnate(even if the nation had NOTHING to do with WWII or the Holocaust).

Mao would have done well to preach that the Chinese should respect the hand and tools as much as the brains and books, but he went too far and waged war on learning and culture.
But the current trajectory of modern Asia may be even more destructive. The problem isn't the commitment to science, technology, and medicine but the obsession with elitism, the division of the world between 'winners' and 'losers', mindless imitation of the West as the source of all the answers just when the West is committing suicide.

In the long run given the current trajectory, East Asians will lose out to Other Asians who still retain a more organic view of life. East Asians only value life-as-status whereas Other Asians value life-as-life, success or fail. Moderate elitism is useful in fueling social competition, but hyper-elitism rejects life unless assured of success. It's a formula for civilizational death as people fear having 'loser' kids, and 'loser' kids are apt to commit suicide.

China actually does have a form of affirmative action. Ethnic minorities get extra points on college-entrance examinations, partly to appease potential terrorists who see Han Chinese as invaders of their ancestral lands.

All nations should do away with elite institutions. There should only be People's Universities where the super-smart rub shoulders with the smart and not-so-smart. US would be much better if it only had big state colleges. Even with only big state colleges, first-rate research in science and medicine is more than possible.

It's the Goldlilocks solution. Maoism that waged total war on meritocracy in favor of ideology was madness. 'Red over expert' was retarded. But the arrogance of elite prestige also corrupts society. It produces these conceited pricks who think they are oh-so-much-smarter cuz they went to exclusive top-tier schools. It's all the worse because many of these elite students are results of legacy(George W. Bush), bribes(Jared Kushner), idolatry(Michelle Obama), or some bullshit 'hardship' essay... or writing "Black Lives Matter" a hundred times, a stunt pulled by some Paki-American scumbag.

In rejection of both Maoist 'red over expert' and conceited elitism, the solution is the People's College with a large student body but highly selective in hard science. This way, best minds for science and math are still selected but, on the social level, they are less likely to be stuck up with elitist attitude.

Especially BS is these status-minded pricks obsessed with elitism BUT THEN preaching to us about 'social justice' and 'equity'. Don't they notice the contradiction? But, they get away with it because 'wokeness' mainly focuses on Jews, homos, and blacks at the expense of most people. It's more about the feelings of some pampered over-paid black athlete than the working conditions of Third World minions earning a pittance to churn out shoes bearing his name.
'Social justice' and 'equity' really mean praising Jews, celebrating homos, and idolizing blacks. When some members of BLM expressed sympathy for Palestinians, they were shut down pretty quick. Jews dole out big money to BLM for a reason: to keep blacks allied with Jews against whites and Palestinians. Then, it seems the most logical thing for whites is to side with Palestinians, but whites are dummies or whummies.

Limits of Individualism — In a World of Innate Racial and Sexual Differences, Meritocracy based on Individualism invariably leads to Neo-Tribalism — Look at the Owners and Players in the NFL and Imagine what would happen if we forced Individual Meritocracy for Men and Women in Sports

Meritocratic Individualist Competition among Greyhounds
Greyhound and Bulldog. Two breeds with obvious group differences.

In a Perfect World, we would like to believe that Meritocracy based on Individualism would result in 'May the Best Man(or Woman) Win', and that would be that. What fair-minded person would have a problem with the Best Individuals winning due to natural talent and hard work? It would be Meritocracy over Tribal Favoritism. If there’s a society made up of green people, red people, and purple people, and if green individuals are favored over red and purple people solely based on his color, then there would be cases of green individuals of inferior talent being elevated over red and purple individuals of superior talent. It would be unfair. However, if meritocracy based on individuality were enforced, the best individuals of all three peoples would be favored. The best green individuals, best red individuals, and best green individuals would rise to the top. The Social Order would no longer be about Greens(talented and untalented) over Red and Purples(talented or untalented), but Talented Greens, Reds, and Purples over Untalented Greens, Reds, and Purples. This way, all three groups win and lose, and even the losers could take heart in the fact that SOME of their kind made it to the top. So, the lower Greens can identify with and take pride in the success of higher Greens. And lower Reds can identify with and take pride in the success of higher Reds. And lower Purples can identify with and take pride in the success of higher Purples. Pride isn’t only individualist but shared on some level. It’s like a father who never attended college and works at menial job takes pride in his son who attended good college and has a high-paying job. The father, as an individual, is a ‘loser’, but he shares in the success of someone of his own blood.

If Greens, Red, and Purples were all generally equal in talent, then each group would have roughly the same number of talented people and untalented people. Then, a system of meritocracy wouldn’t necessarily favor the individuals of any one group. Green individuals, Red individuals, and Purple individuals could all hope for equal chance at success up the social ladder. Of course, many will not make it, but some individuals of each group surely will(as long as they do their homework and commit themselves to competition). So, meritocracy will undermine tribalism, at least as a means of deciding the success of individuals. Tribalism may still continue to the extent that the successful individuals of each group may still identify with the lower elements of their own kind and vice versa. For example, a successful Mexican in America who rubs shoulders with successful non-Mexicans in professional life may still feel a deep connection with Mexicans, rich or poor. And poor Mexicans may look upon him as a ‘role model’ and ‘representative’ for the Mexican community.
Still, when it comes to who-gets-what, meritocracy based on individual ability should work against tribal favoritism where winners are chosen on the basis of identity. Success would be measured on the basis of WHICH INDIVIDUALS have the most natural talent and work ethic. Thus, pride of success, power, and privilege would not belong to any single group. After all, individuals of all groups would be represented in the upper ranks because they gained success by a combination of natural ability and hard work. So, if there is an institution of higher power, not only the Greens but the Reds and Purples could point to it and notice successful individuals of their own kind. There would be successful Greens, Reds, and Purples. Success would exclusively be a Green, Red, or Purple thing but an individual thing. Furthermore, since there are successful Greens, Reds, and Purples at the top, Individual Meritocracy would result in a Success that is Green, Red, AND Purple. It'd be ‘And’ over ‘Or’. Individualism will ensure success of all three groups to the extent that some members of each group will make it to the top. Thus, Meritocracy is both color-blind and colorful. It chooses winners in a color-blind manner, but the result, at least in a Perfect World where all groups are innately equal in talent, is very colorful as individuals of all groups will win in part. Of course, many individuals will lose, but there is consolation in knowing that SOME of their own kind won. It’s like even a Jewish nobody takes pride in the fact that there are rich, powerful, and successful Jews.

The problem is we are not living in a Perfect World where all groups are innately equal in talent in all things. We’ve been told over and over that Race is just a ‘social construct’, that Jewish Success is purely due to history & culture and not to biology, and that even Sex is just a man-made concept that should be called ‘gender’(and that maleness and femaleness are, above all, states of mind, e.g. if a man insists he is a ‘woman’, we must take him at his word and address him as a ‘she’ and even let him or ‘her’ participate in female sports... with predictable results, of course, which we are not supposed to notice).
In a world where all groups are generally equal in innate talent, social policy and cultural re-conditioning can conceivably produce roughly equal results for all groups. So, if Group A and Group B have equal talent but Group A has work ethic but Group B doesn’t(and therefore members of Group A succeed more), the problem could be remedied by re-conditioning members of Group B to develop a pro-work-ethic mindset. But what if there are real innate differences(which aren’t negligible) between Group A and Group B? If Group A is innately more talented than Group B, the only chance of parity between A and B would be if members of A are talented-but-lazy whereas members of Group B are untalented-but-studious -- lazy hare vs dogged tortoise. But if members of both are equally studious, Group A individuals will still outshine Group B individuals. And the differences will be even more dramatic if Group A individuals are talented and studious whereas Group B individuals are untalented and lazy. By the way, there would be little incentive for Group B individuals to be studious at something if they instinctively feel they don’t have a chance-in-hell against the naturally advantaged individuals of Group A. In the US, why would an Mexican-American work hard at trying to make it in the NBA or 100 m sprint? On some level, he must know that NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES, he can’t compete with the Negroes(and some whites who just eke into the NBA).
The most obvious example of how Individualist Meritocracy will most certainly lead to triumph of Identity would be if men and women were made to compete purely as individuals. So, there would be no Men’s Sports that bans women and no Women’s Sports that bans men. All males and females would be required to compete purely as individuals, and may the best individuals, male or female, win. The result will be obvious. All the sports will be dominated by men, most likely totally. Even if all men and women were to pretend that the winners are the best individuals than Male athletes, one would have to be jaded or deluded not to notice that the result is Triumph of Maleness and Defeat of Femaleness. Sure, the system allows all individual, male and female, to compete for the same sports, but the fact is men will always be favored over women due to innate sexual differences. When nature has made men stronger and faster as a sexual group, all this talk of individualism rings hollow, at least when it comes to Men AND women in physical competition. Among men only or women only sports, individualism would be meaningful: Best Men winning over the men or Best Women winning over the women. But the notion of ‘best individuals’ among both men and women is useless because the men, as a sexual group, have such a decisive advantage over women. So, pretending, as radical libertarians do, that individualism should be the ONLY standard of success is to ignore reality. Individualism and Meritocracy make sense ONLY AMONG those of roughly comparable talent. So, it makes sense to have greyhounds race with greyhounds. That would be a matter of individual meritocracy among greyhounds, all of which are designed by breeding to be fast. But in a case of greyhounds vs bulldogs, individual meritocracy becomes beside-the-point because greyhounds, as a group, are so decisively faster than bulldogs, which have NO CHANCE against greyhounds. Granted, a mutant bulldog with extra speedy legs might beat a mutant greyhound that is exceptionally slow, but for the most part, individualist meritocracy makes NO SENSE when applied to greyhounds vs bulldogs because of dramatic innate differences coded in their DNA. So, if one wants to discuss the relative merits of greyhounds as individual sprinters in a race involving greyhounds, that makes all the sense in the world. But any discussion of individual merit between greyhounds and bulldogs is, at best, a solipsistic abstraction, and, at worst, willful deception to lend false hope to bulldogs and their owners.

When we look at the real world and real people, despite all the dogmatic PC yammering about how Race and even Sex(misleadingly called ‘gender’) are mere Social Constructs formulated by ‘racists’ and ‘sexists’, we see real group differences in all walks of life and all spheres of high intensity endeavors. One would have to be downright retarded not to notice innate differences between men and women. Even PC-cucks who toady up to the Power must, in their private heart of hearts, know they are just mouthing BS... even though there are always those True Believer types whose passions get the best of them. (More often than not, the True Believer types have no agency, and therefore, must be FED what to be most passionate about. They compensate for their lack of individuality by being most fanatical with received passion or 'wisdom'. Since they can't own their belief or conviction on the basis of originality or autonomy of thought, the ONLY WAY they can claim it is by sheer zealotry. It's like dogs, having no agency, obey their masters as to what to bark at and bite, and their own means of pride is sheer doggedness of aggression.) I mean, what honest person doesn't understand that there are two sexes, men and women? And who, in his or her right mind, really and truly believe that a man with a wig and dress, after a few hormone injections, qualify as a 'woman'? We live in strange times. In truth, a man pretending to be a 'woman' is a social and ideological construct(as well as the product of Frankenstein or Trankenstein Medicine), but we are told THAT is 'natural', whereas the notion of 'male' sex and 'female' sex are 'social constructs'. Truth has been turned upside down, and black has been made white.
There seems to be roughly four groups of people on matters such as this. (1) Those who see the BS and say so. But calling BS on PC can jeopardize one's career prospects, especially in government and fancy institutions like Finance, High-Tech, and Law. (2) Then, there are those who see the BS and remain silent or grumble only in private. Most of Conservatism Inc is like this. (3) Then, there are those who parrot the PC line but don't really believe it in private. It's probably the case that many Liberals actually don't much care for Tranny Politics but remain mum because it's currently fashionable in the Prog Community and favored by the Power. 94) And then, there are the True Believers who swallow PC whole. These morons may be useful to the Power as inquisitors and attack dogs, but No One really respects them. It's like the Power in the Middle Ages had little respect for the most rabid witch-burners even though it found them useful enough at times to carry out purges.

In the real world, individualism becomes pointless in uni-sexual sports. While it's true enough that some women are bigger and stronger than some men, elite sports will favor men over women to the point where sports will be all-male affair(unless some of the top male athletes decide to suddenly declare themselves as 'women'). According to PC, women should not be alarmed by tranny men taking over female sports because those trannies are really 'women'. So, when trannies win in Women's Sports, it's the power of Sisterhood.
PC is controlled by Jews and push such nonsense because trans-sexualism runs parallel to trans-nationalism. Jews figure that the mentality that accepts trans-sexualism(or trans-genderism) will be more amenable to trans-nationalism. After all, an idiot who believes that a male athlete in Women's Sports is really a 'woman' is more likely to believe that African migrant-colonizers in Europe are the New Europeans. Whether sexual identification or national identity, it all becomes a matter of State of Mind. So, we should accept that a man is a 'woman', just like we should accept that an African is a 'European'. But try convincing Jews that they should accept Arabs and Africans as fellow Jews or New Israelis, and they will balk at the proposal and call you an 'Anti-Semite' for suggesting that Israel adopt Immigration Policies that are sure to wipe Israel-as-a-Jewish-State off the map.
The fact that so many white people go along with the Trans-sexual & Trans-national charade that men are 'women' and that Africans are 'Europeans' goes to show that Jews have the white race by the balls. But then, Jews don't need to really convince all the white people or even majority of white people. They only need to buy off the white elites into cuckery of acquiescence (white Democrats) or silence(white Republicans), and then, most whites will either fall in line(like the libby-dibbers) or remain comfortably numb or 'numbstruck'(like conzo-bonzos). In a representative democracy, it doesn't matter what the people say IF there is no elite representative to stand up for their views. On Wall Street, there has to be brokers to process your investments, and in a true democracy, there has to be politicians, leaders, and public intellectuals to take up your cause or the voice of the people. But because virtually all white elites have been bought up by Jews, they are more likely to take commandments from the top than take up 'demandments' from the bottom. White elites don't represent the white masses; they serve the Jewish Supremacist Hegemonists. They don't need the masses as stilts when they have puppet-strings from above to hold them up.

Now, let's consider what Individualist Meritocracy has wrought in the West. Even though it was sold as an anti-tribalist and anti-'racist' means of selecting the most excellent and most deserving individuals of all groups, the result has been neo-tribalism and race-ism. (By 'race-ism', I mean race + ism = belief in the reality of race and racial differences. Ism means belief, so race + ism should mean belief in racial truths.) If indeed all groups are more-or-less equal in talent, Meritocracy-based-on-Individualism would have meant a colorblind system of producing colorful winners in all fields and sectors. But the fact is group differences are real. In the realm of sex, this has long been known, which is why the sexes were segregated in sports because women cannot compete with men on the basis of individual merit. The recent phenomenon of male trannies entering female sports has demonstrated why women must be segregated from men if they are to have a sports culture of their own. If men and women are both seen as mere individuals in uni-sex competitions, women have no chance no matter how hard they train as individuals.
The differences among the races, while not as dramatic as that between the sexes, are nevertheless significant enough to produce results that favor group domination than individual success. This is most obvious in sprinting. It's been noted that Blacks of West African descent have such a group advantage over other races that it makes little sense for non-West-Africans to even bother to compete. But it's much the same in professional football and basketball in the US. Even though all groups are free to try out and compete for those sports, the only race with any real chance of making it is the blacks. So, football and basketball have essentially become black sports and platforms for black identity and black pride. The result has been neo-tribal and race-ist.
And, when it comes to ownership of sports teams(and the media that broadcast the events), Jews have been dominant. As the saying goes, a Jew is more likely to own a sports team than play in one. Now, one might argue that super-rich Jews are the results of Individual Meritocracy(though less so in sports for obvious reasons), but when so many Jews outwit goyim and gain dominance in sports franchises, media ownership, finance, law firms & courts, entertainment, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and etc., the result isn't merely the Success of ultra-smart individuals but a neo-tribal consciousness among the winners.
Yuri Slezkine said as much in THE JEWISH CENTURY in his chapter on Soviet Jews in the early period of the Revolution. Even though they'd pledged their hearts to communism and universalist ideology, they couldn't help noticing that so many of their elite peers were Jews. So, despite their conscious efforts to be Good Communists, they always felt an undercurrent of Jewish pride and power. And Slezkine notes how, in the end, the ethnically conscious Jews won out in Israel and the US over the Soviet Jews who made a serious effort to favor universalism.
It should also be noted that, in the long run, the more ethnic-conscious Eastern European Jews won out over the more assimilationist Western European Jews who aspired to be the Other Wasp. Animal House Jews won the Frat War against the Wasps. It goes to show that those with stronger ethnic identity/personality wins over those with weaker ethnic identity/personality. Wasps did much good for their own society by practicing individual meritocracy, but they made a fatal mistake in extending meritocracy to other groups, especially those with innate superiority in brains or brawn. Even though such reform was done in the name of fairness, justice, and merit, the result has been neo-tribalism and race-ist in producing a New Order dominated by Jewish Supremacists in brains and Black Supremacists in brawn. The New Order may be more just in the sense that the superior-brained Jews and stronger-muscled blacks won out -- meritocracy in action, no doubt -- , BUT the result hasn't been what was promised. The promise was that all groups would win out equally-and-proportionately under a system of individualist meritocracy because there is only one race, the 'human race', because 'race is just a social construct', and because all races are virtually the same except in skin color. But the fact is innate differences among groups are real, and this is why individual meritocracy among groups with markedly different traits only leads to neo-tribailsm and race-ism. In the end, smarter Jews make more money than other groups, develop ethnic pride & consciousness, buy up media and politicians, and use their power to serve Jewish interests. Jews whine about how Bad Old Wasp America favored whites over others, but they muster all their power and influence to make all of us support Israel, not least by buying up whore goy politicians who do the bidding of ADL and AIPAC to shut down BDS movement and the Constitutional right of all Americans to speak and spend freely.
And what has happened to black consciousness over the years? After decades of black domination in boxing, basketball, football, track & field, and even tennis, blacks feel pride as the superior badass race. Almost no one looks at basketball & football and just think of athletes as mere individuals chosen by colorblind meritocracy. The fact is, even if the system isn't rigged to favor blacks, biology has been rigged by evolution to favor blacks in sports. So, Western Sports have become platforms for black pride and black consciousness. This is why black football players took up the BLM cause and 'took the knee'.
If blacks weren't so dominant in sports, such racially-charged and tribally-minded gestures wouldn't make much sense. But blacks could act thus in football because they are naturally so dominant. Top that off with the pornified pop culture of the West where the big black dong is a dominant trope, and the end-result of individual meritocratism has been neo-tribalism and race-ism. Jews win with wit and intellect, blacks win with fist and dong. So, despite all the PC propaganda about diversity-and-equality, the result has been the New Tribalism. The reason why so many blacks are filled with arrogance and self-esteem is because they know they can beat up whitey and other races. It's because they watch sports, listen to pop music, and consume pornified culture, all of which boost black megalomania.
And who can deny that Jews are full of arrogance, supremacism, and contempt because they amassed so much money, power, and influence by the use of their superior wits. Granted, Jews with brains have one decisive advantage over blacks with brawn. Many more people can make it with brains than with brawn. Many people can work in law, finance, media, and high tech, whereas only a handful can make real money in sports or pop culture. Also, whereas those in sports must demonstrate their superiority in the most naked way -- one can't fake ability in 100 m sprint or football -- , sufficiently clever Jews can gain over smarter and more deserving people. Also, smart Jews can help and favor less smart Jews in fields such as management in ways that talented black athletes cannot help less talented blacks in sports. So, while many elite fields have Jews who aren't the very best, sports only have blacks who are the very best.

Of course, just as Jews are inferior to blacks in sports and blacks are inferior to Jews in smarts, neither group is superior in everything over other groups. Generally, whites are smarter than blacks, and this is why pure individualist-meritocracy will not really work between whites and blacks. White individuals(even excluding white Jews) will win out over blacks individuals. Under pure individualist meritocracy, much smaller number of blacks will make it to good schools and a tiny few will make it to elite schools. This is why blacks insist on Affirmative Action. Blacks are all for individualist meritocracy in sports where they have a natural advantage over whites, but they totally oppose it in academics where they are bound to totally lose our without group-preferences and set-asides.
Given the truth of innate group-differences, this makes some sense. What is really offensive about Affirmative Action is the LIE that blacks need extra-help because of the legacy of Slavery and Jim Crow. If blacks are so traumatized by history, where do they get all the energy for Booty Call, House Party, Sports, Dancing, and letting the good times roll? They should all be sullen and depressed. But, it seems blacks got plenty of energy for Soul Train and Funky Town and for dribbling basketballs from morn to night. No, the real reason why blacks dominate in sports and fail in school is due to nature. Nature rigged the odds for blacks in sports and rigged the odds against blacks in smarts. But because of black pride and white 'guilt'(and the virtue-vanity highs that 'good whites' get from vaping on holy-schmoly 'guilt'), we are supposed to believe that black failure in schools is purely the result of Evil Whitey, and that's why whites must do more for blacks. (But if whites must prioritize black needs, why are Progs pushing for more immigration-invasion that exposes blacks to more competition?)
Still, blacks are currently favored by both individual meritocracy and group-preference(or group-protection). In fields where blacks have a natural advantage, they are allowed to totally dominate without any regard to diversity. No one complains that sports are Too Black. And in fields in which blacks are naturally handicapped, they get special preferences. In contrast, whites must shut up and accept total defeat in areas in which they are naturally disadvantaged -- notice there is no talk of affirmative action for white or non-black athletes and no talk of white-only sports where whites are shielded from competition with superior blacks -- but also make concessions to blacks(and even to browns) in areas in which whites are naturally advantaged and winning purely on individual merit. The system is rigged so that whites lose by both meritocracy and group-protection. In sports, whites must accept total defeat, and in areas in which whites are better than blacks, whites must give up their rightful achievements to blacks and others in the name of 'diversity' and 'inclusion'.
Of course, by 'whites', we mean non-Jews, especially those in flyover country and rural areas who tend to be Christian or culturally conservative. Jews rigged the system so that they can pull strings from behind the curtain to favor their own kind in elite institutions. Also, because any criticism of Jewish Power is deemed 'antisemitic', so many Jewish abuses & hypocrisies go unnoticed or unnamed. When so-called 'progressive' Jews combat the bogeyman of White Privilege, they don't mean something must be done about Jewish power and privilege. It means sacrificing more positions of white goyim to appease non-whites(especially blacks and white Hispanics) to maintain the Alliance of Jews and People of Color against whites. It means using the white-privilege-scapegoat to distract people from the real power in America that is controlled by Jews. (Also, by claiming that the problem of Hollywood, Big Tech, and Wall Street are 'too white', it gives the false impression that they are controlled by Texan Cowboys, West Virginia Hillbillies, country club Republicans, and Mormons than by Jews.)

Recently, Asian-Americans at Harvard and other Ivy League universities have gone forward with lawsuits on grounds that the current admission system violates the principle of colorblind individual meritocracy. Asians are generally seen as inferior in EVERYTHING but hitting the books, studying for exams, and getting better grades. So, academics seems to be what Asians cling to most dearly because they can't succeed or gain victory in anything else. The reactions of big academia and big media have revealed how confused, convoluted, and contradictory the current system is in terms of what it professes and practices.
At any rate, if there is a niche in which Asians do better than other groups under a system of colorblind competition, it's just another example of how individual meritocracy among groups of different abilities will de facto lead to neo-tribalism and race-ism. After all, Asian-Americans noticed that their best bet is in academia, and therefore, any barrier to their success there undercuts what is their only meal ticket. Why don't Asians complain that there aren't enough Asians in sports and pop music?
