Wild. The white nationalist website VDARE.com is suspending operations and going out of business. It is/was one of the biggest online outlets for "intellectual" white nationalists, and it can't go away fast enough.

VDARE chief Peter Brimelow just posted an eight-minute video on the dead bird site of one of the most awkward speeches I've ever seen. He blames NY Attorney General Letitia James for driving them into the ground financially, banks for refusing to work with them, and a series of cyberattacks that have them completely baffled. So kudos to everyone involved.

The bad news is that they're still going to retain their castle in West Virginia, which he says will still host "distant conferences" and [CW: you may actually throw up into your mouth] "a number of normie functions, for example weddings, if any of you want to get married and defy the Great Replacement".

VDARE, which was named for Virginia Dare, allegedly the first white baby born in the "New World", has been a platform for explicit "race science" advocates like Steve Sailer, but also for people who get on mainstream talk shows like Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, and Michelle Malkin. Brimelow has been kind of a mentor to Richard Spencer and is generally an elder statesman among the young, racist white boy set.

That rag will not be missed.

Another good listen, and scary. Looking back at the founders (a minority rule by definition) and how we are dangerously close to losing the democracy we have. Several current examples where it's already worked---SCOTUS, State laws, minority politics especially in the House.
