From NCofnas.com: Why We Need to Talk about the Right’s Stupidity Problem To win over the elites, the right needs to challenge the Big Lie that motivates wokism: the equality thesis Nathan Cofnas Jan 02, 2024 Attributions of low intelligence are considered insults—something we lob at our enemies, not our friends. So why should I, who am committed to the defeat of leftism, say that my own side is the dumb one?

Autism researcher Simon Baron-Cohen was in the news recently defending the veracity of Jason Arday. And now his kinsman Sacha Baron Cohen will be back with another Ali G movie. Judging from the trailer, Ali G: Who Is I doesn’t look very good. But that’s not surprising. People usually get pretty sick of even the funniest movie comedians after maybe a half dozen years. For example, Buster Keaton was indisputably a comic genius. But the peak of his career lasted from 1923-1928.

The Arday-Cofnas whoop-tee-doo has revived old time disputes over race, with elites asserting their talking point that Race Does Not Exist because genetic differences are purely clinal. For example, the northern European plain is close to dead flat and well-watered from the English Channel to the Ural Mountains, so you can easily walk from Calais to the Urals, assuming you are a persuasive guy. And if you bother to cross the Urals, you are just in Siberia, so what’s the point?

From Reuters: US tells schools not to alter discipline policies to reduce racial disparities By Kanishka Singh August 19, 2026 WASHINGTON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Education Department ​has issued guidance urging schools to stop what it calls “racial balancing” ‌in student discipline policies, prompting concerns that the Trump administration is making it harder to address longstanding racial disparities in school discipline.

Karen Attiah, the Washington Post’s “Global Opinion Editor,” was a reliable source of hilarious content for me during the Racial Reckoning due to her rampant hatred of white women. She finally got fired after Charlie Kirk’s assassination for her implication that that Charlie had it coming.

One of my basic ideas has been ever since I watched a lot of pro wrestling in 1999-2001 with my sons is that much of modern American intellectual discourse is dominated by the concept that some people are the Good Guys (what wrestling folk call Faces) and other people are the Bad Guys (Heels). For example, since the early 2000s, I’ve been considered a designated Bad Guy, largely because the Southern Poverty Law Center, a designated Good Guy, says so.

One of the sillier, more intellectually disabling ticks of the 21st Century is that we are constantly told that The Science has proven that Race Does Not Exist. For example, as a Professor of Postcolonial Studies at Cambridge U.

From The New Yorker: The Real Meaning of the Jason Arday Scandal In a young Black professor’s academic misconduct, a “race-realist” found a “hook for a story.” By Lauren Michele Jackson August 19, 2026 In Facebook, The New Yorker finds that its Jason Arday story is greeted with amusement.

Nathan Cofnas writes a Wall Street Journal oped today: How I Became the Scapegoat in the Jason Arday Affair I have been smeared as a racist and threatened with violence. My university suspended me.
