QuoteUsing genome-wide scans and individuals with all four grandparents born in the same settlement, we here demonstrate remarkable geographical structure across 8-30 km in three different parts of rural Europe. After excluding close kin and inbreeding, village of origin could still be predicted correctly on the basis of genetic data for 89-100% of individuals.

QuoteThe use of the swastika in punk imagery has several roots. Perhaps the first people to be defined as punks who used the swastika were a band who hailed from Cleveland, Ohio, called The Electric Eels.
These wackos are credited with having released one of the first ever punk singles called "Agitated"/'Cyclotron' in May, 1975, although the actual songs never made it onto an official release till 1979 (Rough Trade seven-inch, RT008).
As early as 1974, The Electric Eels were causing outrage by wearing White Power T-shirts and putting swastikas on their posters. They described themselves as art terrorists and nihilists, intent on upsetting as many people as possible. Another of their tricks, for
example, was causing fights in bars by pretending to be gay tee hee.
Of course these were preceded by Ron Asheton of the Stooges fixation with SS uniforms.
Also in America, at around the same time, The Ramones were just starting out. For their record sleeves, they were using the gay Mexican artist, Aturo Vega, whose work often incorporated Day-Glo swastikas. In the US fanzine, Punk, which is often credited as having
given the movement it's name, an interview with Dee Dee Ramone revealed that he liked "comic books and anything with swastikas on it"; a comment that was often thought to be clearly designed to further the band's carefully (smelanin-American) controlled image of dumb, blank teenagers who cared about nothing.
What these early punks were really doing was trying to annoy their parents and authority figures by being rebellious and unpleasant. As the not very well respected (in some punk circles) Mary Harron, who wrote an interview with The Ramones in Punk put it, "Punk embraced the things that cultured people, and hippies, detested."

QuoteHe named the performance The Murder of a Virgin, and before too long, the crowd were asked by Pop, "Do you want to see blood?", who resoundingly affirmed his question. The frontman then urged the guitarist, Ron Asheton, who was wearing a full Nazi uniform, to whip him repeatedly.
Things got even worse, though. Iggy allegedly started to yell racial slurs at a black spectator, hoping that he'd respond and stab him with the steak knife he'd brought on stage. Thankfully, Pop didn't get what he wanted out of this vile behaviour and instead resorted to carving the letter 'X' into his own chest, which poured with blood.

QuoteSome of punk's antics seem weathered and stupid in retrospect; take, for example, Asheton's account of wearing Nazi regalia and flying a Nazi flag, seemingly without any real point, at Iggy's wedding to a Jewish woman nicknamed "Potato Girl." (That and more from Legs McNeil's excellent oral history of punk, Please Kill Me—and, by the way, no word on whether Potato minded.)

QuoteRON ASHETON [ex-Stooges guitarist, 1975]: I'd made contact in L.A. with Dennis Thompson of the MC5 and we put New Order together. I found a backer and guys started filtering in and we found a place to practice. The downside was the trend of music was changing so dramatically that we got caught in the middle of a shit storm. It was disco time, and people weren't going for the hard-rock shit anymore, so it was like, "Uh-oh, screwed again." Plus, we'd play gigs in front of my big swastika flag. I wasn't a Nazi, the flag was just part of my collection . . . I had Jewish girlfriends and black buddies. It had nothing to do with promoting Nazism or condoning it. I just enjoyed flash uniforms. But other people freaked–they were like, "It's fascist." New Order didn't mean to put out a Nazi vibe at all. I knew it was probably a bad idea ... how not to get a record deal in an industry run by Jewish people. "New Order? Let's sign 'em up right now."

QuoteLed Zeppelin guitar god Jimmy Page Nazi-fied himself during at least one 1977 concert, wearing knee-high jack boots, black shirt and pants, a white scarf, sunglasses, and an SS officers cap, complete with the Nazi "death head" insignia. According to über-groupie Pamela Des Barres, who spent many a night with Page, his fetish extended beyond the stage; she said he liked to visit transvestite clubs dressed in full Nazi regalia.
In the mid-1970s, Third Reich symbols became part of the uniform of the burgeoning punk rock movement. You can put some of the blame on designer and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren. Imagine, a bar mitzvahed boy who spent 6 years in a private Jewish school churning out Nazi-inspired fashion! His Jewish grandmother told him, "to be bad is good, and to be good is boring." He and his partner, now-Dame Vivienne Westwood, sold items such as swastika-embellished clothing, SS handkerchiefs, and Gestapo buddy rings in their shop called Sex. Westwood said they aimed to de-mystify the swastika. That subtle concept was lost on the likes of headline-grabbing Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious, who loved Nazi gear.

QuoteDo we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I'm looking at you. Where are you? I'm sorry but some fucking wog...Arab grabbed my wife's bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that's just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking (indecipherable) don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us.

QuoteAlaisdair MacIntyre had his own definition of the word "emotivism", which gets, I think, to the nub of the problem. For MacIntryre, emotivism is an attitude whereby all moral judgements are expressions of feeling: what feels right is therefore right, for you. This relates to what Charles Taylor calls "expressive individualism" – the mindset that it is simply good, in and of itself, for an individual to express their innermost selves.

QuoteAlthough I am a "live and let live" kind of guy, I reject known failures like socialism, rent control, organized religion, and diversity. I am also open-minded, so I listen to TERFs and ecofascists as well as cuckcons and shitlibs.
The TERFs tell us that transsexualism occurs when men become obsessed by porn and eventually transition from subject to object in their fantasies, mostly because they can no longer get off on "normal" degradation, anal, rape, subjugation, demoralization, and misogynistic objectification of women in porn.
I was skeptical, until a dude I have known since the 1990s trooned out. Here are the stages:
1. Moderate liberal who smokes weed on weekends after holidays, voted for Clinton the first time but was worried about his economic policies the second, thinks the Jimmy Carter years were a step forward but created a recession, feared Ronald Reagan but is secretly glad the Sovs are gone, is OK with diversity if that's what you want in your neighborhood (1990s).
2. More radical liberal who thinks socialism is necessary for economic growth, believes the United Nations should control all nuclear weapons, gun control will save lives, the solution to global warming is electric cars powered by nuclear plants, tax the churches but not the mosques or synagogues (early 2000s).
3. Sort of floating in the middle but with both extremes by thinking that every neighborhood needs diversity, gay marriage is a human right, free healthcare is a human right, weed should be legalized and not decriminalized, we need a federal law for universal gun control, and becomes a vegetarian (late 2000s).
4. Shrill Leftism as everything that the Left has tried so far seems to fail, so he's all-in on veganism, gun control, rent control, political correctness, deplatforming, censorship, obamacare, double tax on gas cars, federal gay marriage and legal abortion, probably jailing all the Christians (here I agree) and supporting diversity in every area of life (early 2010s).
5. His wife left him. Turns out she was getting railed by the office Republican that she claimed to hate. I don't care why she did it, cheaters must burn. They are just more narcissist abusers like the Boomers. (2014-2016ish)
6. His vegetarianism/veganism left him thin and sickly, and I think his T crashed. Also he was super lonely, had a Tinder profile, and probably watched a lot of porn although I have no way of knowing what he actually did on his own time on his own computer, nor am I going to try to find out. (2017)
7. He spent a lot of time on 4chan and weird anime dolls started showing up in his house. At the same time he got really active on Reddit, and started sending me Wikipedia links all the time. The guy who formerly had intellectual curiosity was now a zombie for XKCD, Wikipedia, Reddit, 4chan, and stuff he found on random Telegram channels that were totally obscure.
8. His parents stopped talking to them because he told them that Semitic religion was a patriachal abuse structure and Donald Trump was evil. TDS hit hard and soon it was all he talked about. At this point it was clear that Trump was going to win because 0bama was a botched presidency in practical terms, so I lost touch with him simply because I had nothing to say except "well that's interesting." (2018)
9. Ran into him again at of all places MicroCenter. Both of us were getting extended SD cards. It was COVID drama time so we were wearing the silly masks. I told him I was getting fat from all the sitting around and doing nothing, but he was heavy too and had what we used to call "bitch tits" in the gym, those dropping male breasts that come from depressed testosterone or steroid use. He was wearing a small amount of makeup and was dressing -- now that I look back on it, didn't occur to me at the time -- "gender ambiguous." (2020)
10. Came across his Facebook where he announced that he was now female, had been on HRT for two years, cited a half-dozen incidents in his childhood where he identified as female, was starting to grow breasts, had quit his job in finance and now worked at a public school, admonished us not to use his "deadname" and kept us informed of his/its pronouns, also posted some more stuff about how great diversity is and how bad Trump was (2021).
11. Went to an office party, and a friend was driving, so I got fully loaded on the free booze and ended up at surfing the net for old friends after I got dropped off just after midnight. Looked up his name, found an Instagram post under his new name talking about his deadname, he has full-on breasts and has had facial hair removal surgery and "bottom surgery" and is now living as a woman with a man who was a woman (2022).
12. Getting my Christmas card list together, I tried to find him/her/it under its deadname but ended up having to follow them/it on Instagram, so I set up an account. Nothing but anti-Trump, pro-BLM, climate change, anti-Christian, and pro-LGBT stuff. I never cared either way on the rest but I always gave a thumbs up to the anti-Christian stuff. She/it announced marriage to another transwoman. (2023)
13. Was in HEB Central Market and saw this person who looked familiar. Thinning hair nearly bald on top, sort of stocky, big fat breasts, smelled funny, obviously was a cigarette smoker now. I offered them/it one and we talked. Divorced again, living alone in a one-room studio condo, still working at the public school, smoking Newports and has a QOS tattoo, but seemed thin on the merits. Called them/her Eugenia, he/it said I could call him Dave again, "because nothing matters anymore." Gave him a fist-bump and told him Trump was a right bastard (2024).
No further thought from me on this until I ran into a bunch of TERFs who basically pointed out that pornography is a Big Corporate business that is just as evil as Pfizer or Raytheon, but no one sees it because no one wants to see it (wow that reminds me of old Danzig and Queensryche lyrics). Yeah, I mean, who thinks about porn? It's there when you want it, but otherwise, it's like thinking about cleaning toilets or dumping toxic waste at beaches. Out of sight, out of mind... out of the conversation here in Democracyland. Like junk food, pornography is addictive, and lonely men who through the help of alcohol and drugs get really into porn after awhile confuse themselves with the people acting in the porn.
Basically, if you watch women getting railed all the time, and being the center of attention, you're going to want to be one of those women too.
They talk about other stuff which might be crazy too but also might be the opposite. Like the idea of female-only spaces in every shopping center or public area. That way, if some woman is getting creeped out by dudes, she goes into the female-only space and is safe. I don't trust them on the anti-stalking laws since those are going to end up Orwellian, and I still don't believe "believe all women" since if I have learned anything about humans, it is that most of them are rationalizing their own impulsive behavior all of the time, and this ends up in full lies about a quarter of the time and half truths half of the time.
I also got introduced to an online community called "poast" where the average poster is a Catholic Nazi (like a literal Nazi, loves Hitler, reads "Mein Kampf") who also likes a lot of anime including "loli" or the stuff that has -- oh God -- underage people as its subjects. I have always thought that pedophilia is mental, and cartoon pedophilia still makes me feel that way, so I said this and also opined that the Christian God is Jewish and therefore is foreign and all foreign things have to be viewed with suspicion, so they told me I was a Trump supporter and probably a "prot" and banned me.
So now I'm banned on Twitter (sorry... X), Reddit, Facebook, Telegram, Discord, and the Catholic majordomo at our local university and also from the Nazi cartoon pedophilia Catholics, so I'm still thinking like I did when I was fifteen that Semitic religion is a total failure for the West. Every time I talk about this online someone calls me a "k**e n****r autist r****d f****t" (KNARF) and so I am just setting down here a faithful record to the best of my recollection and hoping the rest of you can make sense of how the USA went from the Wild West to bitch tits in just one generation.
