I knew I'd get a couple of immediate UNTHUBTHCRIBES! because of the "blow me" title. And indeed the very first UNTHUB came within 10 seconds of the piece being posted, from a guy named Patrick Dyer...who lives in Cumming, Georgia.

Sorry, asswipe, but when you live in a town called "Cumming," you don't get to judge ME on my language.

Dave, you should write and star in a very low budget film titled 'Unthubscribed' . . . sorta like Eastwood's 'Unforgiven' only really, really weird! If anyone wants to see what a spiteful mutant actually looks like, Mr. Unz is the quintessential example.

I know who I'm backing in the battle between two right-wing LA Jews: The delightfully impish fella with a drinking problem and not Jim Varney's corpse circa 2010.

As for your Anglin worries, you have to take into account that Anglin's well-deserved pariah status contributes to the fact almost everyone who follows him will read about him at one source. On the other hand, I read Sailer on VDARE, Taki, Twitter and unfortunately, Unz Review.

Thank you, kind sir!

I would like to shamelessly plug that:

A. I'm a copywriter/editor for a living. I would gladly edit one article you write free of charge. After that my inner Mennonite comes out and I'll have to charge you (think far less successful Anabaptist Jews who are only smarter than the Amish because we marry our 3rd and not our 2nd cousins)!

B. I can only buy you a beer on Friday. My part time job as a Punjabi cosplayer, i.e. food delivery driver, has not been very fruitful, hence, I have to wait for a real paycheque.

That's a very kind offer! But I can't let a copywriter/editor work for free. I respect you folks too highly. When I wrote my 2014 autobiography, I worked with an amazing copy editor (paid by Feral House, my publisher) who not only helped make my book better, she actually taught me a few things I didn't know, even though I've been writing my whole life. I appreciate skill and always believe it should be compensated. Let's see how the next few weeks of "bought beers" goes!

I will never fail to be astounded at the cruelty & the complete lack of empathy, of my fellow humans. The evidence of what occurred that led up to & enable the events of the Second World War are everywhere. It happened & dunderheads the likes of Usz want it again.

They flatter themselves that they'd be with the chosen.

They can keep dreamin'.

If only Unz & his fellow cultists had joined the Heaven's Gate Ufologists.

Usz & his deluded followers, flatter themselves that they wouldn't have ended in a camp sporting striped pajamas & a fancy badge. They haven't adhered to any depth in study. It was all about Germany for Germans. It didn't have anything to do with white people. I think Usz is getting all his information from Nazi J.O. rally videos. All those Nazi rallys are emotionally stirring & as you well know, they're not what was actually going on behind the scenes.

I have serious doubts as the the quality of his 3,000%. I strongly suspect they're scarf-wearing mommy's-little-darlings living in tents on campus quads, Nigerien call centers & illegals logging-on with free cellphones. Sometimes numbers aren't enough.

One of my favorite columns you have ever done. Unz isn't worth one of Steve Sailer's toe nail clippings and if you gave him an enema he would fit in a Buster Brown sized shoebox. Honestly you should release an 18k word reply consisting of the phrase "Eat shit" 9k times.

Unz is boring. All alarmists and nuts are.

No nuance -- just a megaphone spouting "bombshell" revelations ( today it's "De-Dollarization").

And damn if I'm not tired of a decade+ of "bombshell revelations that could destroy".

Like the song says, have some sympathy and some taste....

Thanks for keeping it "menschy".

Well, the 3000% does prove that there are a lot more people that need to be taken out back and horse whipped than I originally estimated. How that is a positive is beyond me, but what the hell Unz seems to think so.

I read your piece in Takimag. I can't figure out why Unz thinks a writer being popular is better than a writer being coherent. Who would even buy ad space on Unz's site? It's definitely not a mass market product -- the makers of Tide, Hidden Valley Ranch, or say Target's leadership etc are terrified of Unz's readers, not trying to court them. Clicks can't really matter that much to his business model, can they?

I think a lot of the people reading Anglin are probably FBI agents or earnest kids writing papers on the evils of the alt-right. At least, I hope that accounts for the difference. I don't always agree with everything Sailer says, but Sailer's generally coherent and not drifting off into David Icke type territory.

WOW! Some good news for once on the right. Gert Wilders, pronounced 'Marph Moopers', has announced a right coalition which will "Radically redifine Dutch Politics for the near future." In a press conference given to his fellow Dutch and several dolphin reporters from Sea World Wilders said; "The discussions were long and we had to order food like three or four times. Fons Valreep conveniently forgot his wallet so I had to pay for his several Roast Beef sandwiches. It was typical of him. Anyway we struck a deal which is important. Strengste asielbeleid ooit!"

Apropos of (almost) nothing, I've always thought "unz" sounds like one of those exclamation words some foreigner would blurt out in their gibberish language. Picture: a swarthy, sweaty man treads on a pile of dogshit that he didn't notice because he was arguing with his cousin through his cellphone. "Unz!" he yelled, "shleudi mez kljuzeni, borgh!"

HI Dave! The Right has everything it needs to win a stunning victory and walk away from this or any other election with an unequivocal mandate from the people. All they need to do is parse out the bullshit and champion those issues that have ALWAYS resonated with the voters. Making bank, taking care of the kids, and being able to sleep peacefully at night because one is not tossing with uneasy thoughts about a nuclear holocaust, are things regular folks really dig.

What! Someone bring the smelling salts!

Unfortunately, the Right also has within its ranks a certain class of red faced and clinch fisted fools dreaming of the night when the likes of that agent provocateur par excellence, Nick Fuentes, invites them to join the big coon and joo hunt. In the meantime, they pacify themselves on their shameless fetish for political freak shows. Like the pro rasslin' or NASCAR fan, they love big fire ball crashes and the bloody beatdown spectacle. One need only read the comments sections of right leaning news and opinion websites to confirm this. Driven into a foaming rage by the us vs them distemper, they want their foes dragged, kicking, and screaming to the arena and beat like the proverbial hair lipped stepchild. They are literally besotted with this shit and haven't the brains to see that this assures the Right is always the underdog at election time. No one sees this shit better than you and that is why I keep reading. Thanks, Dave!

I have to question Unz’s claim that Anglin’s got 30x more traffic than Sailer. Steve Sailer’s well-known and respected, while Anglin’s fringe as hell. I feel like there might be some click farming.

Do you think serious revisionism ever had a prayer of getting going or did it just take a wrong turn? I’ve noticed that mainstream mediocrities like Longerich and Richard Evans quietly started to allow for some local initiative on the part of the HSSPFs in the east. The intentionalists would’ve made a big stink about that circa 1995.

Also, when exactly do you think the old Intentionalists lost their place as gatekeepers? The Wiesenthal Center people and Lippstadt aren’t who they used to be.

"Serious revisionism" had its last chance in 1995. Had Michael Shermer written a fair book, he could've integrated serious revisionism into mainstream historiography. But as he told me in a recorded convo at the time (I have the transcript in my book), he was too much of a coward to do so, so he co-wrote a book that was as extreme on one end as the deniers I was trying to hold back were on the other. Following '95, the die was cast. Two extremes, no middle.

>I have to question Unz’s claim that Anglin’s got 30x more traffic than Sailer.

It sounds believable as a comparison of Unz-traffic. Probably most people who go to the Unz-site are looking for other things besides Sailer. When people are published on different sites it can be hard to make a thorough comparison. But I can believe that Anglin outclasses Sailer in Unz-traffic.

We don't normally compare Laurence Olivier and Ron Jeremy as actors, for good reason. In a certain context, the standards will simply be different than what you may think they should be. But such they are.

Great analogy, Patrick. The porn girl I lived with got a BILLION views in 2017. That beat any actor on any Netflix show. I may have to integrate that into a column. Thank you for getting me thinking about it; the Olivier/Jeremy point is genius.

Well put. On a tangent: would you rather see Helena Bonham-Carter get it on with Ron Jeremy or Sir Lawrence pile it in Carmen Electra? For that matter: what Shakespearean roll would be appropriate for Ron Jeremy? I’m saying Falstaff.

Yeah, Jeremy/Bonham-Carter would no doubt get more views than Olivier/Electra. Porn aficionados would rather see Bonham-Carter degraded than Electra elevated (not to mention the elevations of Jeremy and Olivier).

Ron Jeremy might excel as Dave's favorite Shakespearean character, Aaron the Moor.

Desdemona (in the midst of hot sex): "MORE!"

Othello: "Yes, I am."

Desdemona: "You're what?"

Othello: "Moor."

Desdemona: "Yes, that's what I want."

Othello: "You want what?"

Desdemona: "MORE!!!!"

Othello: "You HAVE one."

Desdemona: "One WHAT?"

Othello: "Moor."

Desdemona: "Which is what I want."

Othello: "And you HAVE it!"

Desdemona: "Then give it to me!"

Othello: "Give WHAT to you?"

Desdemona: "MORE!!!!!"

Othello: "Yes, that's me."

And that was a production of Othello as written by the Zucker brothers.

I think Mr. Unz tactics are what Göbbels was doing which is what dolphins call; 'Meep...Meepath...Marp.' Literally Lies as deep as the ocean. Repeated lies work and it is how incompetent and wicked governments stay in power. As for me I choose the timeless wisdom of the Cetaeceans.
