Across Difficult Country coins a useful addition to the Orwellian vocabulary:
The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact. Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants, blacks, women, homosexualists, et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention.

I'm interested to see Steve's reaction to the (pretty justified) celebration of the US Airways captain, who seems to have stepped right out of the old, postwar America of levelheaded competence and getting things done.
ReplyDeleteLook up Peter Brimlow's speech at the "H.L Mencken Club" meeting in Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteHe mentioned "hatefacts."
That SPLC blog item throws around the words "racist" and "hate" like they have actual, objective meanings.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading it to rhyme with "artefact".
ReplyDeleteThe high STD rate among blacks and hispanics is clearly a HateFact!
ReplyDelete2nd Anonymous is right:

Seeing it again I'm certain I read that entry when it was posted. Change "coins" to "eliminates a space in phrase he unwittingly stole from Peter Brimelow".
Prime example: the pep talk Edward Norton's character gives to his thug friends in "American History X" before beating up illegals in a grocery store.
ReplyDeleteInstead of having him rant like a violent criminal, the screenwriters have him make conventional talking points, complete with statistics, about the taxpayer cost of illegal immigration. Thus, costs of illegal immigration are hatefacts that incite skinheads to commit vicious beatdowns.

Yes, execellent example. "American History X" was one of Hollywood's most over-the-top exercises in propaganda. They had Edward Norton saying quite reasonable things, the sort of things that many people (most people here, for example) believe, but then they reveal him to be a neo-nazi with a huge swastika tatooed on his chest.
In so doing, they equate immigration restrictionists, or anyone who thinks that Rodney King wasn't an innocent lamb, or for that matter anyone who is more conservative than Morris Dees, with nazis.
What's the difference between a "homosexualist" and a homosexual?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Joseph Stalin ("On Marxism in Linguistics"), language is an instrument to the change reality. Yes, Stalin took time between his duties to take part in an esoteric dispute, and wrote a seminal text in theoretical linguistics. Marxists use language to advance the Revolution, thus what you call "Hatefacts" are facts only for followers of Marr, called by Stalin "exegetes and talmudists". We should use language to moderate racial contradictions and to make life more livable.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference between a "homosexualist" and a homosexual?
ReplyDeleteHomosexualists work to make society accepting of their disease spreading lifestyle, instead of just buggering each other in private. After they have made sodomy acceptable, they work to make it dominant.
Yes, excellent example. "American History X" was one of Hollywood's most over-the-top exercises in propaganda.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most? That's a tough category to win. Consider that Hollywood is now on at least it's 3rd Che Guevara pic in the last decade.
Peter Brimelow tells me he got the term "hate fact" from Joe Guzzardi.

ReplyDeleteYou are right that Capt. Sullenberger belongs to Old America - but only half right. The postwar (i.e. post-1945) era was the very start of the war against "elitist" competence. He belongs to the truly older, more heroic world of Jefferson, Franklin, and Hamilton.
We should use language to moderate racial contradictions and to make life more livable.
ReplyDeleteSo, J, do tell us, what sort of "racial contradictions" have you got over there in Israel that "we" should use language to moderate?
Epicurean (form. Voodooman),
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The Multicult started post WWII. Originally it was probably a genuine attempt to rid the world of the forces which lead to WWII. Those forces were identified as racism and anti-semitism. Of course the definition and implications of those terms has been wildly strethed.
Mr. Anon:

Other Hollywood-defined "nazis":
Eastern European nationalists (other than Russian nationalists of course).
Anyone involved with gifted education, even if not at the public's expense.
"Scabs", i.e. anyone with a solid work ethic.
Anyone expecting high standards of service from cashiers, tellers, waiters, and the like.
Anyone the least bit skeptical about trade unions, especially public sector unions.
Anyone who thinks nuclear power might not be the Great Satan, and may even be clean and sustainable (look mom no carbon!)
Any white male born between 1960 and 1975.
Any male expecting a lasting lifelong relationship, based on love and honor, with a female.
