The truth Addiction

There are simple, basic principles that, if one sticks to them, lead to profound truths. Today the best known of these is supply and demand. But there are many, many others. After Marx Rousseau built whole systems on the idea that the natural state was equality, only Adam Smith is left standing.

Adam Smith is left standing because he would consider the world view that libertarians built on supply and demand silly.

All he wanted was to tell the truth, that people were better off making money than being regulated by the state. But libertarians make a religion of this.

Libertarians depend on supply and demand to supply them with a God.

A lot of religious people live and die by the idea that evolution is untrue. It makes no difference to me. To the extent that it is true, I will simply factor it in. It fallacies are merely a matter of interest. Theyr eally worry about this. I have no dog in that fight.

So the truth is a very comfortable place to be. If you simply tell the truth, it becomes addictive.

What do I mean by the word “addictive?” I mean it makes me feel good.

I spent years in alcohol and drug recovery. I read the Bible of recovery, the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, and I kept finding things in there that no one who made religion of it had noticed. I began recovery with the required conviction that one had to begin by admitting that one was an alcoholic or an addict. That means that anyone who drinks or drugs too much is chemically dependent on alcohol and/or drugs.

But I discovered that that was NOT what the Big Book SAID. What the Big Book actually said was the opposite. If you actually READ the thing,it makes it clear that for every true alcoholic or addict, there are several drunks and users. These people USE alcohol and drugs, not because they are chemically dependent, but because only drugs and alcohol make them FEEL good.

The Big Book also points out an indisputable fact: It doesn’t really matter whether you drink too much because it makes you feel decent or because you are a true alcoholic. If you drink yourself to death, your corpse is indistinguishable from the corpse of a chemically dependent alcoholic. From this those who sell the program conclude that there is no difference between a drunk and an alcoholic. So the program says that if you do not admit you are an alcoholic, you are in denial. That sells recovery programs.

But I am in the comfortable position of not trying to sell recovery programs. Everyone who shouts “Denial” would call himself a Realist.

Meanwile I keep looking for the truth.

I would substitute another idea for the “Denial” nonsense. I would say that the problem is not just the use of alcohol and drugs. The problem is that only drugs and alcohol make people feel better. “Addiction” means an insistence on feeling better.

Let’s get down to supply and demand basics: Any moron can HURT you, but it takes talent to make you feel better. Pleasure is costly, pain is cheap. According to Calvinists and the Pope the Gospel had a meaning different from “Good News.” Their idea of the Good News was that almost evrybody would spend eternity in an agony they had never before imagined. This is not good news, but it certainly fits in with the world as we know it. God gives out plenty of agony and very, very little joy.

In the recovery program, anything that makes you feel better is a sin. It so happens that this idea of truth is what we mean by Reality. A Realist believed in PAIN. A Realist believes everything is getting worse. Have you ever heard any definition of the word “realist” that did not take this for granted?

Meanwhile out in the real world, Western Civilization and particulary American civilization has driven everybody else’s deeply held belief systems out of the way without a bump. In the REAL world, nobody wants the ancient customs of Japan or China or Africa or Traditional Christianity. People want what they LIKE. America keeps pouring out Coca-Cola that they like, movies that they like, music that they like.

This is reality. This is the oppoisite of Realism, but it is reality. One thing that drives people up the wall on both sides is that I keep saying what everybody knows, that a random racial mix is UGLY. People don’t want to be ugly.

Silly, isn’t it?

But the fact is that this statement is a fundamental reality. The reality is that if a black guy wants a blond, he is evil.

So what is addiction? Addiction is wanting to feel better. Addiction is not a chemical addiction to something that makes you feel better. Addiction is wanting that which relieves you. I am addicted to truth. Let me repeat that Truth is the opposite of Truth. If Truth were the same thing as truth, you would not need the capital letter.

By the same tone, mercy is the oppsite of Mercy. In the Middle Ages, no one would have burned someone slowly to death while holding a cross in their face if they believed in mercy. This was Mercy with a capital M. It was True Mercy, it was the Ultimate Mercy. If you burned a person alive slowly while holding a cross in their face, there was the slightest chance that the victim might confess his sins and be spared Eternal Damnation.

Every civilization that has been negated by the West was based on some kind of Wisdom, some kind of Truth, some kind of Mercy. Nobody wants any of them back. The Indian who makes a living condemning the West does so with an air conditioner and a computer.

So why is it that I am so dedicated to the truth with a small t?

It makes me feel better. It makes me feel superior. It is the reason I have a frontal lobe in the first place. Simple truth violates the first rule of Realism: It makes me feel good. While others try to dig some sort of agony out of the Old Testament, I simply state what is obviously factual.

Jews control what is called American civilization. But they don’t understand it. They are destroying theemselves by making Europe a Mosle continent. Eastern Europe hates them. There is nothing complex about this.

I can see what is simply true. Everybody else lives in a world of Realism or Traditional Values or wherever else they may be. I see what is here, what is real. I see the truth.

And if you have a sense of humor, seeing the truth is very entertaining.

Cliques

Peter Pain asked me how Lake High is.

Lake was talking like Joe and now he has quit. He deecided that we didn’t have a chance and spent some hours trying to convince me of this. He had one idea that might offer hope, but when no one would finance that, he simply quit.

Unlike Joe Sobran, Lake is polite enough to call back when I call, but he has now added himself to the awesome list of people who don’t want to talk to me voluntarily.

Is Lake therefore Evil? Bob has a rule: When everybody does it, you can’t blame it on everybody. I don’t buy the “Everybody hates Jews, so it’s everybody’s fault.” The problem is, I have to apply the same rule to myself.
Jared Taylor is one of those Southerners people look up to. Nobody knows exactly why they look up to him, but they do. Sam Dickson has the same talent. Jared is the movement’s apostle to the upper classes, just as I am the apostle to the rednecks.

The problem is that we are both genuine about it. So we don’t get along with each other. If Jared or Sam Dickson and I were the usual sociopaths who have decided to divvy up the audience we would get along fine.
After hours, all sociopaths are the same. We aren’t. Jared has a small group of people he really deals with. They are impressive. Sam Dickson is one of them, my old friend Sam Francis was one of them. Joe Sobran is probably another he listens to.

Thirty years ago I would have believed that the reason I am not in this clique is because I am a bluff, blunt regular guy who has no use for such pretensions. Back then I would have believed it. It would be all Jared’s et al’s fault. It took me forever to finally read my own writing and realize I was thinking like a Jew.
The fact is that Sam Dickson and Jared, as I said, are very impressive. Unlike me they are able to convey a personal impression of being above the crowd. Being on the crowd’s level like me has its uses, but you also get lost in the crowd.

People see me as a guide and trust me to lengths that are almost beyond belief when they have known me only a short time. But they are not in awe of me. And a movement needs some awe.

On the record, my credentials for being a forbiddingly high level of genius are far, far better than Jared’s or Sam Dickson’s. But when we are together, people NEED their approval in a way that would make me uncomfortable. Sometimes it makes THEM uncomfortable. I am sure that they do not understand their role as well as I do. But that does not qualify me for Jared’s Inner Circle. In fact, from many years of dealing with the few legitimate cliques that exist, like Jared’s and the endless numbers of fake ones I have a long list of disasters. Letting me in a circle that requires one to fit in is a BAD idea. I not only can’t fit in, I often take the whole shebang with me.

This is now easy for me to say because I am completely dedicated to our cause. This is a brag, I suppose, but I am far, far, far beyond the time when it made any difference to me how people thought of ME as long as they served what I live for.

The second I realize where they fit in is the second I am satisfied.

No, I don’t care if “There is only one God and He is God and Moses is His Prophet.” I don’t care whether I am given credit for something. Least of all do I undrestand Joe or Lake’s keeping score on Hope or Hopelessness. I have seen far more than my share of dead people and in every case it strikes me that none of them needed to do any more planning or predicting. I do not expect to be rewarded for my dedication. I have always been punished for my devition to what is right precisely because it is right. The reason evil triumphs is because it has a PAYOFF. So I start out by rejecting the payoff.

At age sixty-five, I am STILL figuring out the basics. Thirty years ago I was old enough constitutionally to be president of the United States. But back then I would have argued that any clique that didn’t include me just didn’t recognize true talent. It took me a whole generation to realize, all the way down to my gut, that a clique exists for its own purposes. I don’t BELONG. I am DESTRUCTIVE in that particular clique.

In fact a clique is exactly like running for office. I cannt be elected to office. This does not mean that I am not smarter than most people who do. It does not indicate that in refusing to elect to the state legislature people are just being mean.

You don’t want me as your state legislator because I will not remember your name, I will not pay attention to the street repairs you need. But according to my fat paychecks I am enormously useful to those who DO fit into elective office.

Kelso says he reads this blog several times daily. He is familiar with what I say. He told me that at a recent convention he had his first experience with being a staffer inthe way I keep describing it. Don Black was delivering a speech they had written and he said he kept feeling like hjumping up and shouting, “That was MY idea!” Kelso is willng to admit he is a beginner at just about anything, and that is a talent in itself. He knows that it takes a LOT of growing up to be a staffer, a full realization that that concept you worked out will either disappear or someone else must get credit for it. If you have kept up with this blog, this will strike you as obvious: a professional staffer takes years to get used to the idea that his concepts go into the pot.

If I were a paid staffer for Jared Taylor and he asked me, “Bob, should you be in my clique?” I would answer “No.”

I DESERVE to be in ANY clique dedicated to the white race. I DESERVE credit for all the ideas I have had. But that is NOT the question I, as a professional, have been asked. The question is, “For the good of the cause, Bob, should you be in this clique?”

No frigging way, Jose.

After two generations of making yourself a professional you wonder why you ever thought otherwise.
