Is that an argument? When Stefan had Diamond and Silk on his show, I don't recall him telling them that they are more prone to crime and violence because they have a lower IQ than white people due to genetic inheritance. That genetic inheritance is the primary cause of IQ differences between races doesn't seem to be a mainstream position, not even on the right. If Thomas Sowell or another black intellectual had an honest conversation about race with Stefan, I'd definitely want to see it.

Please enlighten me as to what Stefan sees in Vox Day. Day is of mixed descent, including Mexican and native American, and yet Day insists that the United States is a nation for white people. In a video with Stefan, Day said the United States wasn't just intended for white people generally, but for those of Anglo descent specifically, since they believe in small government. Day is also a fundamentalist Christian who claims to read the Bible as literally as possible, even though his blog suggests that he's had premarital sex lots of times, if I've read it correctly, which is against what the Bible teaches. Also, Day says it's ridiculous to think that there is spiritual equality between races, but I don't know anywhere in the Bible, at least not in the New Testament, which suggests that some races are spiritually superior to others. Day is a controversial figure, one reason being that he referred to a black science fiction writer as "half-savage": http://voxday.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-black-female-fantasist.html I honestly don't care who Stefan has on his show, especially since it showcases a variety of perspectives that Stefan may not agree with personally, such as aliens, flat earth, etc. What I am wondering is what Vox Day and Stefan share in common, if there is any commonality between them. If I knew more about what Stefan likes about Vox Day, maybe I'd read his books.

The Thomas Sowell interview is worth watching. I first saw it in a video made by Paul Joseph Watson. If genetic determinism is the cause of the crime rate in a certain ethnic community, what can really be done to solve it? Whether the cause is poor education, generational poverty, or what Thomas Sowell would call the bad influence of a black subculture that glorifies crime and violence, these are at least things that can be changed. Hopefully the new Trump administration will deliver on its promise to clean up urban communities and improve the education they receive, so hopefully we will see a drop in crime in those urban areas.

There's more to it than just poverty. As Thomas Sowell explains, it's today's black sub-culture which is the biggest problem. The reason for higher crime rates in the black community need not be genetic determinism. There are various other causes which may be more compelling.

In recent times, Stefan has had Jared Taylor from American Renaissance, along with other racial realists on his show. I don't know if it's because Stefan agrees with everything they say or if he just wants a diversity of perspectives on his show. While I recognize that lower IQ within races may have a correlation with higher rates of crime, that might result from ethnic minorities growing up in poverty, being given a bad example from gangsta rap, having a bad public education, etc., rather than anything genetic and inborn. According to Thomas Sowell, it's today's black subculture that's holding blacks back, rather than genetics: I hope that Stefan doesn't end up going in the direction of Gavin McInness, whose Youtube videos are primarily dedicated to expressing grievances as a white male being somehow oppressed by academia and Hollywood. If you ask me, people like Gavin McInnes are just reverse SJW's, rather than having any sort of rational argument.

I've deleted my Facebook account, one reason being that I am tired of worrying whether I'm offending people or if people are judging me for wanting to give Trump a chance as president. Trump already won the election, so if people don't want to accept that reality, then it feels like a fruitless effort trying to convince them otherwise. I was even accused of promoting "fake news" for sharing links from the Washington Times and New York Post regarding the Southern Poverty Law Center covering up 2,000 cases of anti-white hate crimes since the election. Since when is any news source you don't like "fake news"? As a Buddhist, I am unhappy with how polarized our country is generally, and how Buddhists in the United States seem to be onesidedly against Trump and his supporters, or at least that's the impression I've gotten from Facebook along with most American Buddhist blogs and magazines. I think I am being given a bad impression of what Buddhism actually is, a false image of Buddhism based on what American leftists who grew up in the 1960s counter-culture want it to be. I didn't vote for Trump, but Buddhism teaches things like compassion, tolerance, and non-attachment to views, which doesn't square well with the idea that left-wing politics is the only way. I've now come to realize that Buddhists are people of all political philosophies and parties, despite the negative response I've seen from white convert Buddhists to Trump: Another thing I've noticed on Facebook is that Buddhists in Asian countries tend to respond positively to Ashin Wirathu, the anti-Muslim Burmese monk, because they've seen Muslim aggression against Buddhists firsthand. White American converts to Buddhism, on the other hand, seem to see Ashin Wirathu in a negative light, and will even take the side of the "oppressed" Muslims. These white converts refuse to see the simple fact that there is no majority-Muslim Asian country in which Buddhists weren't converted by the sword or killed. There are some white American Buddhists who are pro-Trump, but because of the common association between Buddhism and left-wing politics in the United States, they might be closeted Trump supporters. Ashin Wirathu, on the other hand, has been vocal about his affinity with Trump: http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/2047276/anti-muslim-buddhist-monk-ashin-wirathu-myanmar-says-trump I don't really know what Asian-American Buddhists tend to think of Trump, in terms of how many are for him or against him, but there is a sizable number of first-generation Chinese immigrants who voted for Trump: http://supchina.com/2016/11/03/many-first-generation-chinese-immigrants-supporting-donald-trump/

For years, I've listened to people like Max Igan, David Icke, and Michael Tsarion who speak about the need for a global awakening to stop the New World Order agenda. These same voices see the defeat of Hillary Clinton as a defeat against the globalists, the party establishments, and the mainstream media. They look at Trump as someone who can hopefully improve the wrong path we've been headed on. If Trump fails at fulfilling his campaign promises, then the people will hopefully realize the ultimate truth, that they must take control of their own lives, instead of trusting in political leaders to save them. We are also seeing nationalist/populist movements now sweeping Europe, which they see as democracy re-asserting itself against globalism.

That's a good question. On the issues, I agreed more with Trump than Clinton. The main reason why I voted for Clinton was Trump's erratic behavior during the campaign season, which caused me to question whether he has the right temperament for office. I found Michael Bloomberg's speech at the Democratic National Convention persuasive, especially since he was a Republican mayor. I also listen to Charles Krauthammer a lot, and he also said that Trump has the wrong temperament for office, among other conservative voices expressing the same concerns. I also live in a heavily blue state, where Trump would have lost no matter what. I must admit that I was angry about the election result, not because Trump won, but because of how misled I had been by the mainstream media and the pollsters regarding Trump's chances of winning. I studied journalism in college, and I felt that the mainstream media really stepped in it this time. Going forward, I wish the best for President Trump, especially when it comes to job growth and national security. Trump's actions and behavior after the election have given me reason to hope that he will be a good president.

I have been watching Stefan's Youtube videos for a long time. I find them entertaining and insightful. I voted for Hillary Clinton this election, but I must say that I am disappointed with the rioters in the streets, Jill Stein with her money grab recount effort, and members of the electoral college being pestered to change their vote. I want Donald Trump to succeed as president, because his success is our country's success. I hope that, going forward, our nation will come together and heal in the way that Trump described in his acceptance speech.
