Same here! I've been goading Dave to give us more Hollywood insights (and also dirt, because he "knows some stuff" that he will only tease about, and then refuse to dish it out! i.e. Natalie Wood), industry gossip, insider info... but alas, he's still hung up on this political theater, and some supposed genocide from, like, the dark ages!

He did a great audio interview where he was amazing, offering the type of inside the industry intel that could make him rich, but I just can't convince him.

Basically, he's giving the GOP great advice, and they won't listen, and I'm trying to make him a multi-millionaire and a household name, and he won't listen to me!

Oh well...

Incisive as usual, Dave. This article gets to the core of our national "problem" and highlights the reason I moved from optimism to pessimism. The obvious thing is the appalling level of ignorance among the populace who seem to eat up these kooks who thrive on ridiculous Nazi/WW2 mythology. The less obvious thing is the compressed sense of any historical continuity that makes people believe two amazing things: One, that what went on in the 30s and 40s is, like, a bazillion years ago and doesn't matter and, Two, that modern America is basically late Weimar Germany and anything any politician says means that everyone on the "other side" is some kind of crypto Nazi. It's really some kind of peculiar schizophrenia, innit? The media gurus who give these wackadoodles oxygen should be ashamed of themselves, but large stacks of $$$ can abrogate a lot of shame. Looking forward to your next

As insightful as I find your columns I am greatly looking forward to reading about the Hollywood meltdown. And I would take no issue with any number of columns devoted to zombie movies. Hell, I might have to go watch one now.

Dave, are you a fan of Train to Busan (2016), or is it a thumbs-down-er like Shaun of the Dead?

Expand full comment
David Cole's avatar

I think I spoke of that in one of my old YT videos. Loved Train to Busan. A good, serious zombie film (not "wacky" like Shaun). And for once the director seemed to choose three male leads who looked different (businessman, athlete, bum). My biggest problem with Korean flicks is that I can't tell the dudes apart.

Hi Dave! As I was reading your column, I was reminded of a line from the movie Men in Black. Tommy Lee Jones' character says to Will Smith's character: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals, and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

I don't think Robinson is representative, but a fluke. But there are enough of those flukes in the black / brown / *insert your skin color* crowd, to make it uncomfortable. As I see it, Trump's cult of personality is a scapegoat for their failures: You need to blame Big Jew for not being able to speak English when you set foot on this side of the Rio, for not being a doctor [without help from Affirmative Action], or a successful businessman, ... and all other shortcomings they need to explain. The 2016 [Coulter inspired Trump] was not of their liking as he spoke of realistic and effective solutions to Americans issues. The nuttery that followed is what fits their grievances.

To me it's not an issue of being "representative," but avoidable. Robinson was avoidable.

For the GOP, he was avoidable. There was no need to side with that freak. My comment is in reference to the many "Robinsons" out there: that is, people who H&H would have enjoyed sending to Sobibor.

The first full-on Nazi black I personally met was in 1995. My GF had been in a terrible short film along with a grossly untalented, ugly black actress. Total waste of weave. And when my GF told her about me, Blacky was like "David Cole? The GOOOOOD Jew? I'd dun lovded to meet him, he mah hero and sheeet, 'cuz he calls his peeps out on they wickedness." She was completely insane. Sadly, I met her in person when she came to an IHR meeting (I was out of the circle by then, but I'd still go hear Mark Weber speak, as he's a friend).

I have met my fair share of "colored Nazis", and the one thing they ALL have in common, is the delusion someone else - usually, a lighter skin, or hooky nose "else" is responsible for their failures.

Really excellent advice for my beloved conservative brothers. I hope they can receive it and incorporate it into effective political campaigns to run all the left wing wackos out of the government.

As to the "Black Nazi" guy I have met a few, and they were amusing to me, but I never dreamed any dumbass would vote for them as a Republican nominee! It is like we ran a spy operation on ourselves, not only to lose an election, but to look like stupid motherfuckers as well. We need to plant undercover operatives in the Democratic party so they will run stupid idiots we can surely defeat.

Robinson's only chance is to deny, deny, deny.

I think they also have the emotional strength to keep it to themselves and not discuss it, but they all essentially do it. Maybe that is why they think they are better than we are - they keep their secrets unspoken among themselves.

Plus, if we ever caught any of them discussing it, they would spin it in their favor, or say they misspoke.

Clever devils. I wouldn't care if they weren't destroying what I used to like about America.

If I remember correctly, there was another black fascist in Mother Night, but he was for Tojo and used to argue with the Harlem Führer over Axis policy towards the colored peoples of the world saying that the "Japanese were for ALL the colored peoples of the world when they created their Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere." Yeah right, that's exactly what they were up to. That and killing lots of colored people in their zone of occupation. My favorite Black Hitler is the one from the woefully underrated Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. The black master of disguise who "fools" everyone with his Hitler getup.

David Cole's avatar

In the movie, it's the main character (Nolte) who argues the Tojo point, and the Black Fuhrer replies, "now whoever told you a Chinaman was colored?"

Yep, "Sam Smith," the master of disguise. I still have my 1980s Betamax video of that film.

It's been so long since I saw that film but one of the things I remember was someone infiltrating the tomatoes and being discovered after asking one of them for catsup. Was that the disguise guy?

Yep -- that was his death scene. Though they brought the character back in the sequel, a film that was so bad even I never saw it. But a young George Clooney's in it. It's likely his best film.

Tbf, most people don't pay enough attention to history to know about the "Churchill: Savior or Satan?" debated. Or have the Boomer "it's all commie propaganda" take, because they read a 1 page article by an opinion columnist.

I’m a North Carolinian and I have heard Robinson speak (though he was destroying the porno books in school libraries issue back then). The guy is a moron.

The NC GOP is a lot like the Cali GOP in that they can’t stop stepping on rakes and getting distracted by every new dumb thing at the expense of crime, immigration, and unaffordable housing.

Wasn't much of his support due to his speaking out against transgenderism when no one else dares to?

Evans McKinney's avatar

I wouldn’t say that “no one dared to” speak out against transgenderism before Robinson. The same view was and is quite common in NC. He just added his own brand of “FUCK YOU! WAR!!!” to it. The school board meetings went from dignified parents approaching school systems that were amenable to getting rid of explicit material to freaks howling about “groomers” and a load of smug housewife board of ed types circling the wagons. It actually ended up hurting NC Republicans! I couldn’t believe it.

Evans McKinney's avatar

Oh yeah, we had the “Bathroom Bill” back in 2015 (I think that was the year) before Robinson was even heard of. Robinson was the one who took an easy issue in 2021 to put the Dems and the Teachers Association on the ropes and turned it into a clown show. Don’t get me wrong, the NC Dems and their not-a-union teachers union have a lot to answer for, but Robinson made sure that people remembered the freaks instead of the gross arrogance and incompetence of the schools.

The trans stuff was always a distraction. A good way to get suburban resistance moms and the affluent oppressed to get out their checkbooks

"Send enough emails to the editor demanding it, and I’ll shut up about everything except zombie films." --- See, this is the Dave I like best. Not just zombie films, but in general when the revisionism fades into an "origin story," like when Charles Nelson Reilly was big on Broadway and then was just famous for being famous. Or Frank Nelson hanging around for years after Jack Benny. And no I'm not 70 years old.

There's a lot of Zoomers who are really into the spicy stuff. Couple months ago a Zoomer I know dropped a bon mot on me, I didn't get it, gave him the "huh?" face - "dude, I was paraphrasing William Luther Pierce." Haha, yeah of course, good one - had to go look WLP up. Had kinda-sorta heard of him. Now I run with a lot of right-wingers, libertarians (know a lady who used to have Rothbard over for Passover), Catholic / Orthodox types, and general dissidents, and being GenX, have for decades ... but this Zoomer contingent is really "overdosed on red pills."

Well NOW maybe I'll do a piece on the time I MET Frank Nelson!

True story.

Never met Pierce, but my longtime friend Mark Weber knew him well.

Turner Diaries is a scary-as-hell book, much more effective than anything by King or Barker or Koontz, because it's written by a guy who WANTS the events of the book to happen,, and you can feel it on every page.

David Cole's avatar

I actually recommend the book, because as a horror tome, as an apocalyptic novel, it carries a sincerity that can only come from a genuinely evil mind. No normal author could take the pleasure Pierce does in detailing global genocide. There's a scene, after "The Order" (the white supremacist brotherhood) takes over California, and begins executions of all mixed-race blacks. It's fucking chilling because it's written by a guy who's likely jacking off at the prospect.

Now that I think of it does anyone remember a drive-in movie called "The Black Gestapo" from 1975 about a revolutionary black power movement which adopts National Socialism as well as the spiffy uniforms and takes over Watts. It's better than that Star Trek episode in which a fleet admiral introduces NS ideology to a defeated alien race on another planet and is suprised when they start acting up and killing their enemies like the real thing. I think YouTube has the Blaxploitation movie for free. It is definitely worth a look.

Has she done anything funny lately, as good as her work in The Player (1992) and Soapdish (1991)?

Expand full comment
David Cole's avatar

Nah. She's now just a full-time "personality." Some actors want nothing more than to not be actors, to reach a point where they don't have to act anymore. Richard Belzer parodied this in 1985, doing a summer of talk show appearances in which he stated that he was done telling jokes, because being funny is too hard, so instead he just wants to be "important" and visit orphanages and cheer up injured veterans. It was a great bit because it spoke to a truth among certain performers, that many of them want to be "great humans" and coast on that the rest of their lives.

Is anyone a fan of the novel A Confederacy of Dunces, and of the late great comedian Arte Johnson, and would a reading of the former (albeit in an abridged form) by the latter hold any appeal?

Your daily BASED LUNATICS UPDATE:

The GOP senate candidate from MN was quoted as saying the bad guys won WWII.

Noted airhead MTG is tweeting out that the government is capable of controlling the weather (I swear to God I am not making this up). Years back you may remember a melanin enriched DC Councilman who made a similar proclamation except he believed the Rothschilds were the ones operating the weather machine and not the government.
