In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Pundits Globalists Deep State
He's supposed to be a genius of sorts. Yet, in the understanding of the ruination of the American nation, Steve Sailer chalks it all up to incompetence, stupidity, and greed, when there's evil people behind it all. It's his latest post on his substack site that has me pissed off enough to postpone the other illegal (and legal!) immigrant employment economics posts along with a fun one for this tonight.
The post is Why Did the Anglosphere Go Hog Wild Over Immigration?, with the sub-title After Covid, English-speaking nations tended to go nuts over immigrants. How come? Seriously? How come?!
How do you not notice that people are evil and are bent on destruction?
Beyond that gut feeling, the Biden Administration didn’t seem to have a well-worked out rationalization for letting in so many immigrants. Instead, they just seemed to feel that it was racist and Trump-like to try hard to keep immigrants out. And then they got surprised when they eased off border enforcement at how many migrants swarmed in, including from places that had sent very few migrants before.Complete bullshit, Steve. After all this time and the actions – the immigrant invasion (“Asylum”) apps, the flying in of foreigners in the middle of the night on US-based airlines (I witnessed some of this – actually broad daylight), and all that, you think still that this was incompetence and stupidity?
As the guy with no, no, none of that, Deep State behind him says when he’s lucid, “C’mon, man!”
Nobody was "surprised". Alee-Hondro Mayorkas wasn't surprised, because this was the program he ran. The Deep State wasn't surprised, as these Globalists behind the official power knew exactly what they were doing, as they had 4 years to go all out.
Steve Sailer’s assumption is that nobody is evil, just stupid. As the guy who runs this particular website, I should agree, but I don’t. Mr. Sailer’s first comment (and no paywall this time, which is nice for me):
Right, a lot of special interests were involved in the insane immigration explosion of the early 2020s.Special interests have always been involved. In ’20, the Extra-Special Interests, the Deep State Globalists, figured they had this PRP thing done now that they had gotten rid of Trump. Their overall plan, above cheap labor, above MOAR Commie votes, was to make sure there will never be a big active White Middle Class again, anywhere, ever! That’s evil. That’s what they want.
But why didn’t anybody notice?
Oh, and we DID notice that. How could a VDare WRITER, not just reader, not “notice” this? WTF?? VDare covered the whole thing until fat-assed Laticia James, New York Attorney General, shut them down with lawfare last summer.* Mr Sailer understands the motives of cheap labor and more votes, but he thinks the ctrl-left would be doing a better job of it were they not stupid:
As far as I can tell, American liberals really don’t think that much about immigration.They like it. They like anything that dilutes the population of White people, themselves often included. They do think about it - MOAR is good!
You want to know who on the left really thinks about it? That'd be the Globalists, with the goal I described above. White Middle Class men, especially, compete with Global corporations in business, with newer, better ideas. They compete with Globalists for power with their thousands of organizations for various causes. Globalists can't abide that if they are to run the show as they were born to do.
I’ve often suggested to liberals that since a lot of people want to move to America, we should carefully devise policies for letting in the best immigrants and keeping out the worst.Yes, true, but those are the useful idiots. There are others behind it. Do you think the above was the mindset of the traitor Mayorkas? He wanted utter cultural destruction. It's a Commie thing, Sailer, you wouldn't understand ... Stop trying to suggest things to "liberals". They want power - it doesn't matter how reasonable you are.
But I almost never get much intellectual engagement on this sensible idea, because American progressives don’t see who gets to immigrate to America as really being any of the business of Americans like themselves. Instead, it’s the fundamental civil right of all inhabitants of the planet to choose whether or not they want to move to America.
In the SteveSailer.net comments there, it's J.R. Ewing for the win:
I think you are right about average everyday liberals and even most politicians, that it was simple bleeding heart emotion, but I also think a smaller subset of politicians was more nefarious and definitely more calculating. That group knew very well that the state of the world in most countries is comprised of an overclass and an underclass and if normal Americans were going to be uppity and not allow themselves to be perpetually ruled over, then by god we’ll just import our own group of people who will. And we will reward them with public benefits in return, paid for by all the racists who already live here.Bingo.
The small group of people in charge of the democrat party are too smart *not* to know what they were doing, while the people who blindly follow them, who have mostly been brainwashed by liberal and non-racist pieties over the past 50 years, don’t know and don’t care.
The reason for Mr. Sailer's graphic shown above is to illustrate his point:
Ted Kennedy sponsored both the 1965 immigration act and the 1990 diversity visa lottery. Did Teddy’s braintrust carefully calculate how to maximize the Great Replacement?First, it was Philip Hart and Emanuel Celler who brought the bills up in the Senate and House, respectively. Lyndon Johnson, probably the worst President in history, INCLUDING Brandon, signed it.
Nah. As far as I can tell, in both cases, Senator Ted drunkenly reasoned, Mayor Quimby-like, that his bills would bring in more Irishmen to vote for Kennedys.
These guys weren't drunk at the time. No, a big open conspiracy to flood the nation with foreigners probably didn't have a carefully calculated plan by the numbers. I'm betting, with the much more Conservative American population around 60 years ago, they figured it'd take a century to make a large dent in the White population. Well, it went better than any attempt at planning it would have anticipated.
It doesn't take written up plans, dummy. The same people wanted the same thing, that's all... for years, 6 decades now. They aren't stupid. They are evil.
* Just now, believe it or not, it's gotten WORSE for VDare. I think I'll get into that in another post, but for now read Peter Brimelow on his substack site: With Instant MSM Support, NYAG Letitia James Moves To Bankrupt Us Personally

There are also all kinds of mistakes in foreign policy, which will eventually become domestic problems. ("It happens," I hear people saying, "when you hand over complete control of foreign policy, lock stock and barrel, to Israel.")
Even excluding the foreign-policy mistakes there is a lack of focus and a lack of consistent, principled vision. What is the image of America these people want to move towards? It's not clear.
A great portion of the domestic successes (actual and supposed) by these Trump-II people are Potemkin successes. They care more about things "looking like" successes than in things "being" successes, to the point of being willing to trade appearance for substance, always favoring appearance. They want dramatic footage, and cool bellicose rah-rah statements, which their people can clip to generate attention on social-media.
Most everything they've been doing shows the influence of both the "reality-tv model" of the 2000s and the "social-media hot-takes guys" model, the latter of which had evolved into an art in the latter years of the 2010s, with Trump 2015-16 being an important contributor to the art. White-Western people have always had the instinct to avoid big-talkers like Trump, as likely con-men in some way. It's often true.
(Although a supposed champion of the White Little Guy, considered objectively Trump is not a character from the Western tradition of effective politics at all. Trump-like characters HAVE appeared through the ages, but as street-agitators and con-men of all kinds. Never before as actual political leaders; not in the White-West. You simply can't imagine any of the men of the 1770s and 1780s, meeting to form the various attempts at serious independent government in North America, with styles and approaches like his.)
Many of these Trump-II figures were big-talkers from social-media; or with big-talking podcasts (like "Kash Patel" who demanded all the Epstein-connected people be targeted for imprisonment); or direct from Fox News (which is itself kind of an infotainment reality-show; all the news-channels are, and have been for a long time).
I don't think these Trump people are very serious people. Some are, some aren't, but overall it's is an ideologically not-very-coherent regime. The main qualification of which is personal loyalty to one highly-erratic and unprincipled charismatic Big Man (Caudillo-ism). And that's a Big Man who willingly engages in illegal behavior that make a mockery of Western tradition(s), like the recent murders of the alleged drug-boat people off Venezuela. Ignoring and breaking centuries of Western legal tradition to get some cool videos to release on social-media. We shouldn't get too excited about even indisputable good-news ---- because, on a whim, it can all be cancelled out and reversed.
The Trump methods, along with the rise of the larger social-media ecosystems in the 2010s, were central causes of the oversteps of Wokeness, and the long line of manias and mini-panics we remember so unfondly from the 2010s and early 2020s (the Covid-Panic of 2020 also being fittable there). This is the basic answer to Sailer's own question, about why some Western governments went crazy for Migrants.

Wanna bet Dorian Johnson didn’t have his hands up ?
************
The Ferguson Police Department confirmed Dorian Johnson died of injuries sustained during the shooting that occurred around 8:30 a.m. Sunday on the 9600 block of Abaco Court.
The location of the shooting is just 15 minutes away by foot from where Ferguson officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Brown on Canfield Drive.
Ferguson Police Public Information Officer Patricia Washington said police took one person into custody in relation to the shooting on Sunday.
That person was released within a maximum 24-hour hold without criminal charges filed, said St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Price Smith said in a statement on Monday.
“This appears to be a domestic incident involving a claim of self-defense that is being investigated,” Price Smith wrote, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
Washington said Sunday that earlier rumors that the shooting involved police were not true.

PS: Mr. Hail, a few more things. I've not been writing for a day and a half, but I did read through the SteveSailer.net threads, especially, of course, the comments under the post I "question" (to put it nicely) here.
I noted you brought up that Wokeness is not a fad. Steve never used that word, but I've attributed this take of his based on many of his explanations of why woke is going away. No, if not for Trump, it would not have gone away at all, until maybe some British style uprisings or more.
He replied to you with an example of Obama & Co. putting pressure of some sort on the ctrl-left to make them back off for a while when he ran for re-election. I don't question Steve on these things. I think he is clever in figuring these things out - don't know if he had more info than his speculation would suggest, but he comes up with examples sometimes. However, that was just temporary and specific to the racial stuff. Wokeness can have many forms. In fact, I think that there will be others we haven't even thought of now - I'm not as prescient as Mr. Sailer was with the Trannie business.
So, I guess he agreed with you it's not a fad. Not sure ...
I left out of this post - due to length - a good comment from Almost Missouri also: Here:
"The "it was an accident" or "fit of absentmindedness" explanations don't work, IMHO, when there are the examples of things like vast federal funding of migration NGOs, or the CPB One phone app being repurposed to bring in more migrants faster. Those are not accidents or absentmindedness. That is a deliberate program by people with organization, money, and power.
Why could Martha's Vineyard, where housing stock is empty most of the year, summarily eject migrants while lesser zip codes, already overcrowded, just had to take it? Martha's Vineyard housing stock belonged to people with organization, money, and power."
The 1st paragraph goes along with my thoughts. Thanks, A.M., in case you're reading here.

PS: Good morning, Adam. I just looked through your 3 screenshots of AI "wisdom". It sure sounds more confident in its answers in the first 2 than it does for Zionism = Racism. Steve Sailer would note that this AI seems to be living in the 1960s - it's always 1965 when you're Artificially Intelligent.
This gives me a very poor impression of its abilities to get around the web and find all sides of these issues.
I'll give the Bing AI credit for quoting Peak Stupidity pretty well, but then it doesn't have that many instances of Peak Stupidity discussion to go by. (There is an X handle - Peter Brimelow had thought it was me by mistake, and then a video or two.)
OK, that's about what I thought about the "loicense" thing from context later on. Thanks.

Interesting, SafeNow. I've heard the former before. I don't know. The ctrl-left useful idiots, who are the big majority of the ctrl-left, are by definition stupid instead of evil. However, when these people get in positions of power, in the Institutions, the Universities, the Regime Media, local government, wherever, then their stupidity becomes more evil. Say, they really buy that trannies stuff, and as school principals, push to rules that allow kids to be "transitioned" without their parents' consent. Stuff like that is evil, as determined by stupid people who aren't out for evil intentionally.
Then, you Soroses, Rothchildses, whoever, some of those that push the PRP KNOWING the effect on native White populations (without whom the world would run more poorly and be a worse place) are evil from the get-go it seems. Shouldn't they know better? Maybe not ...

PS: M, good points. I never really used the word dialectic, as I've only heard the one term, over and over!, before of the "Hegelian Dialectic". Anyway, if you mean real and rational arguments, I think the point of that now is just to explain the seriousness of the problems we face to those on the fence or to the base. The other side, as I've written about before, doesn't care how very reasonable your arguments are and how much sense they make. They don't care.
Therefore, sometimes rhetoric, including much ridicule, both of which Trump is very good at, IS required. However, since he doesn't really do numbers, and kind of dialectic he comes up with is often flawed. Many times, the stupidity of it just angers us, his base.
Regarding Steve Sailer, he's generally very clever. He's taught me a lot. I don't know why he's backed off on really fighting against the enemy. If everyone I call the enemy is just misguided, then, sure, if he can get his book spread far and wide* people will finally GET IT, everything will be fine in the end. Nah, but this brings me to what SafeNow wrote...
* or anybody's reasonable arguments - I jest that it has to be his book. He's not really that much of a marketing genius to push his noticing writing for monetary reasons alone.

PS: Mr. Hail, I am familiar with your take on the character of Donald Trump, as you've expounded on in these pages before. I can't say a disagree with much of it. I just find that if I read about what's been done - border closed, deportations at least happening (no, numbers aren't serious enough yet), anti-D.I.E. talk AND action, pro-White talk in almost those words, I appreciate the man. If I listen to him or read tweets or hear about the Wrastling match to be held at the White House (or was it already?), I get really sick of the guy.
We've got to put up with some of that. I'd love to see a Ron DeSantis, but one who's learned to tone UP the rhetoric (as per commenter M, vs dialectic) when it's time too.
What do you mean by the left being frightened, Mr. Hail? Do you mean that they figured Conservatives could keep winning elections so they'd better bring in more voters fast? I personally think that the ctrl-left pretty much thought they'd won this cultural war once they cheated their way in in '20 AND put away 1,000 people who protested what they'd done. That does seem like a win, if you're a Lenin, Castro, Chaves, etc...
I think the ctrl-left figured they'd wrapped it up, so they'd go ahead and open the borders for the express purpose of destroying the country... the extra voters might be just a nice plus, is all.

Sailer may just not be very smart. Or he may be letting the commenters say the unacceptable things for him.
Trump's "dumbing down" is popular because (among other reasons) we've seen what "smart" politics is like, and it's politics that favors the managerial class, and no one else.
When you try to persuade people, you can use dialectic or rhetoric. Dialectic doesn't work very well if rhetoric is used by your opponents. So you use rhetoric, or you don't persuade.
Rhetoric doesn't do nuance, and logical analysis of those arguments makes them sound stupid. The PRP people have enjoyed the lack of visibility of any logical analysis, due to media not wanting to make them visible.
So yeah, Trump's rhetoric sounds stupid. But it seems to work. Democrat's rhetoric is also stupid, and we see it's stupid, but you'll not get logical analysis of Democrat arguments in the New York Times any time soon.

What the received wisdom, polls, and Psych Today have to say:
“Public figures have expressed that “conservatives think liberals are stupid, and liberals think conservatives are evil.” However, four studies (N = 1,660)—including a representative sample—reveal evidence that both sides view political opponents as more unintelligent than immoral. Perceiving the other side as “more stupid than evil” occurs both in general judgments (Studies 1, 3, and 4) and regarding specific issues.”
My answer to this mess is for converted engineers, etc. to serve as politicians, as opposed to people who were pols from the very start. China does this. For example, when Mitch McConnell had his brain freeze, Senator John Barrasso (former physician) took him by the arm, whispered into his ear, and calmly led Mitch offstage. One could see that the Senator was neither stupid nor evil.

One could see that the Senator was neither stupid nor evil.

I feel I repeat the same type of comments about Steve Sailer pretty regularly in my comment-contributions here at PS.
We are now in September 2025. Ten years ago this month, we were in the height of the Merkel Migrant Crisis disaster. Some time in the first week of September she gave her cruel command: "There shall be no upper limit" to Muslims, Africans, whoever.
The huge inflows of these people -- who in large numbers are assuredly civilization-destroyers -- ran from late-August 2015 thru around early-April 2016, I believe (at the latter time, scared EU governments finally put into place their plan to pay huge bribes to the aspiring dictator of Turkey to turn off the spigot and hugely reduce the flow).
The consequences have been bad for the West (although perhaps good for the Accelerationist camp), generally in a shabby and depressing kind of way. A way that degrades everything slowly and quietly, steadily; rather than causes some big, dramatic, Wagnerian showdown. A lowering of standards; an increase in petty crime, feelings of safety and local pride, and increases in robberies and rapes of White women; a degree of White Flight (certainly at least psychological; often literal in the US sense).
Steve Sailer predicted all this at the time, back in 2015, and was still in a kind of attack-mode that now he doesn't want to engage with.
It's amazing to me, though, that Sailer didn't bother mentioning the 2015-16 European Migrant Crisis in this post. A few people in the SteveSailer-Dot-Net comments mentioned it.
Among the consequences of the 2015-16 Migrant Crisis was Brexit (June 2016), the successions of considerable successes White-ethnonationalist-leaning parties have had in the late 2010s and 2020s in Europe, and the improbable successes Trump had in the R-primary season of 2015-16, clinching the nomination, and seizing control of the R party to begin his decade-long project of dumbing everything down and creating a shabby personality-cult, to which a lot of good people are emotionally attached because the alternative seems frightening and worse. (Kamala's "transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prison" policy, delivered with her signature Kackle.)
(Steve Sailer is right on the point of Trump dumbing everything down. Trump's idea of government is retrograde, crude, discarding very large elements of the Western tradition, apparently because he doesn't understand it. His style increasingly involves arbitrary-whim fiat decisions and decrees, along of course with giving Israel full control of all U.S. foreign-policy. You might say Trump's is "a dumb person's idea of what government is," meaning "Hey, he's the president, he can do anything; we learned it in middle-school civics class, I think, but can't remember the details but it's all in there somewhere.")
Trump's dumbing-down effect -- his Fox-News-icization and reality-tv-ificiation of policy and government -- is BOTH cause AND effect of the oversteps and manias reached in/by the 2010s in the West. No better symbolized anywhere than by the Merkel Migrant Crisis of 2015-16. The Left saw in Trump a big threat and reacted to it in part by over-stepping and allowing the Biden Open Border, because they were frightened. There is also a whole lot of evil malice, pushed by transnational elites often acting out specific civilization-impulses. Diasporic elites see no great crime in undermining a core population-stock, and often will see it as a positive good, of course.
All this is symbolized nowhere better than in the person of Mayorkas, and a lot of other such people in the Biden camp. They have their reasons. I'd suggest a connection between the Epstein Israel-intelligence operation and the Mayorkas open-border policy. Why was Epstein working his intelligence ring? Why did Mayorkas and others want more Migrants in? How/why/when did Israel get full control of U.S. foreign policy? What is the connection between Israel's full control of U.S. foreign policy and the long-running openness to dumping Migrants on us?
The above paragraph is full of questions the Steve Sailer of the 2020s doesn't seem to want to ask.

PS: "I'm not sure if this is because of his good nature or because he wants to be accepted by mainstream society or because of something else." I think it's a little of both.
Glad the cats are getting along alright, sort of - the weather has been great over here! Glad to read from you, Adam. I'll check out the links from the google-bot.

Yeah... Steve is, unfortunately, often not as clever as he thinks he is. I'm not sure if this is because of his good nature or because he wants to be accepted by mainstream society or because of something else. Whatever it is, there are certain things he just doesn't notice.
However, Steve did ask...

(At 2:25 you can see a cartoon depiction of the kitten bothering Baby Girl. In real life the kitten would be hissed at and maybe even swatted. There would be no hugging.)
So... While Baby Girl and Miss Kitty have been getting along better they are not really friends yet. However, there have been little things that have happened that lead me to believe friendship is possible. For example, the other evening I was up a little late, and getting ready to turn in for the night, when I heard a very distinct meow at the door. (Baby Girl has a distinct meow that she uses when she has caught a bird/mouse/mole/lizard/etc. and wants to show it to me. Like "Come see what I caught, meow!")
After showing me the little bird she caught, she gave it to the kitten to play with. (And play with it she did.) I think this is step one of Baby Girl teaching Miss Kitty how to hunt.

Everything else is good here. I have a little burning to do around the garden today and I can finish planting my fall garden. (Beans, Snow Peas, Snap Peas, Collards, Carrots, Bok Choy, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Cilantro, Arugula, Lettuce. Stuff like that.)
So, yeah. That's about it.
I hope you guys have a great evening.

BTW, I read elsewhere (as substack post about the UK for which I'll put in the link later) the word pronounced "loisence". I guess that's just doing the accent??

We live on a planet of finite resources. Cabal is setting us up for mass die-off, first by limiting access to healthy food while hyping unhealthy foods that set us up as clients of both BigAg and BigPharma (don’t eat eggs & butter, do eat lots of carbs and things like “heart healthy” vegetable oils).
Then, as we hit peak cheap energy, it wasn’t enough to make us sick tax donkeys... it was time to start a mass culling. First with things like the magic vaxxes, and then the hyperimportation of masses from the most violent parts of the third war to pit us legacy masses in wars of all against all in the streets, while Cabal and their hand-picked lackeys retreat to their walled enclaves and underground cities.
These creatures who think they can with impunity exterminate the masses are beyond evil.

The killing of Dorian Johnson is, we hear, an "incident involving a claim of self-defense that is being investigated."
Couldn't the same have been said, "full stop," about the killing of Michael Brown in 2014?
As Steve Sailer pointed out at the time, the elite media, led in this case by the New York Times, was lasering on in small-town police-blotter items to whip up race-hate against Whites.
A small matter, of maybe some local interest in and around Ferguson, or Greater St. Louis AT MOST, became blasted out as top news for a long time, the most-important news in the USA and (bafflingly) even of interest globally. The goal being to drumbeat "the Narrative," as people used to say. "That's Wokeness." That's been the America I've long known.
