Weltschmerz à GogoA few years ago, the people behind the now-defunct white nationalist website VDARE bought a castle (yes, a castle) in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. It got a fair bit of coverage at the time, but there hasn't been all that much reporting on what they've been doing in there since then.Now it's clear that the castle was the venue for a recent conference that brought a bunch of Patriot Front goons to town, along with a handful of leading antisemitic and "race science" intellectuals from around the US. And this is after the VDARE people promised to be nice, quiet neighbors.===On March 7-9 of this year, the neo-fascist American Freedom Party (AFP) held what it billed as its “National Convention” at a location that organizers kept secret from the public. Participants later said that it was in West Virginia without specifying where, however they did post photos from the conference online. A close examination of these images reveals that the conference took place at the Berkeley Springs Castle, which is owned by the people who ran the now-defunct white nationalist website VDARE....The Brimelows’ presence has been a source of tension in Berkeley Springs from the start. Peter Brimelow has downplayed residents’ concerns, saying that he wasn’t organizing big rallies in town or doing anything disruptive and that “We just want to be quiet, good neighbors.” Yet the VDARE website also described the castle as a “meeting place” for like-minded people, and Lydia Brimelow stated during a 2022 podcast appearance that “My vision is it becomes a big hub of American patriotism.”One reason why the recent conference is noteworthy is because it provided exactly the kind of “meeting place” that VDARE promised while breaking any sort of commitment to simply be “quiet, good neighbors,” highlighting the inherent contradiction between the two.<a href="https://alasbarricadas.noblogs.org/post/2025/03/31/a-fascist-gathering-in-west-virginia/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://alasbarricadas.noblogs.org/post/2025/03/31/a-fascist-gathering-in-west-virginia/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VDARE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VDARE</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestVirginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WestVirginia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BerkeleySprings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BerkeleySprings</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatriotFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PatriotFront</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThomasRousseau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThomasRousseau</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AFP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AFP</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antisemitism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RaceScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaceScience</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoNazis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fcknzs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fcknzs</a>

Weltschmerz à Gogo"Natalism" conference coming to Austin, TX, in a few weeks. Speakers include white nationalist Charles Cornish-Dale (aka Raw Egg Nationalist), race-"science" advocate Jordan Lasker (aka Cremieux), and tradwife and former contributor to a magazine run by the eugenicist Claremont Institute "Peachy Keenan". Kind of makes you wonder: natalism for whom? 🤔 <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/03/natal-conference-austin-texas-eugenics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/03/natal-conference-austin-texas-eugenics</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eugenics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/natalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#natalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RaceScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaceScience</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cremieux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cremieux</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Austin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Austin</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Texas</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TradWife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradWife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteNationalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RawEggNationalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RawEggNationalist</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeachyKeenan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeachyKeenan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RichardLynn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RichardLynn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MankindQuarterly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MankindQuarterly</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClaremontInstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClaremontInstitute</a>

M. Ní Sídach“The Racism of MAGA Is as American as Apple Pie”: Nina Turner on Trump and the 2024 Election Before the Second World War, Hitler was popular with many “white” Americans; the Eugenic movement with mass sterilization of non-whites was in full swing; and Jim Crow, denying Black people the basic human rights and rights of citizenship, was the law of the land.It is an incontestable, documented fact that the Nazi regime saw the United States of the 1930s as the gold standard and apogee of a racist state, with American laws, policy, and practice serving as their explicit guide. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DemocracyNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DemocracyNow</a>!, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackMastodon</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugenics</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RaceScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaceScience</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RacialHierarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RacialHierarchy</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RacialCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RacialCapitalism</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/antiBlackness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiBlackness</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/whiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whiteSupremacy</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/whiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whiteNationalism</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Christofascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christofascism</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJHreSTqYJ4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJHreSTqYJ4</a>

Jeremy (יעקב) 🇺🇦<blockquote>but I have Jewish ✨️heritage✨️</blockquote>Name a bigger red flag.As somebody who hates the "imagine if...", I genuinely can't imagine somebody saying something like "I have Islamic blood" or "But my Christian heritage!" or "My 23&Me says I am Shinto!" I'm not saying to imagine the response because I think it would most likely not be offense but laughter or confusion. But it happens with Jews so much that people have literally co-opted our own word for describing ourself and appropriated it for these bigots in jest: the "Jew-ish". Ha ha. Ha ha. The punchline is that everybody believes Nazi race science.<a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jews</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewish</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/RaceScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaceScience</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nazi</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Bigotry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bigotry</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Racism</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewdiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewdiverse</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewniverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewniverse</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antisemitism</a>

Weltschmerz à GogoNotorious race “scientist” Richard Lynn is, once and for all, good and dead. I generally try to avoid celebrating people dying, but this guy might be an exception. For a long time, he was a close colleague of J. Philippe Rushton, who may be more responsible than any other single person for reviving a lot of debunked theories about race and IQ, “breeding strategies”, etc. Lynn was the editor of arguably the most influential “race science” journal in the world when he died. He was also one of the major sources for the content of ‘The Bell Curve’. A horrible person who claimed the title of “scientific racist” for himself. Fuck that guy, fuck everyone who cites him approvingly, and fuck all of his “research”.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racescience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racescience</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scientificracism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scientificracism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/richardlynn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#richardlynn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lynn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lynn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/iq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iq</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rushton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rushton</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mankindquarterly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mankindquarterly</a>

A publication that has been described by many including me as neo-Nazi.I hope to god this is just ignorance on Herf's part but it is shocking
