Isaac Simpson and Constantin von Hoffmeister talk about the differences between various American cities, homelessness in Los Angeles, the credit system in the US, the conservative attitude of South Americans, why Miami is more European than New Orleans, why ethnopluralism might be doomed to failure, the Chinese takeover of the West, American nationalism as a religious creed, and other topics.
This is SUCH an L.A. conversation. I do not see the world anything like that. But I have lived in L.A. so I can follow the converso. I am in the eastern half; I do not feel confident of living another week. You are talking about a thousand years out...
Well, fellas. I have read up to about 58:00 now and I have a far different opinion on "home-lessness." Because I was homeless. For over five years. There is nothing to discuss. You try to live another day. No intellectualizing it. You are oriented to survival. You guys are sitting around talking about homelessness. You just do it. You don't think about this. I inherited 50,000 and I have been out of that life for a year. I do not remember it very much. It comes back a little bit. I am writing a memoir, which I will need to have published at aome point. I have one persons helping, supposedly. She is a California person, b.t.w. But I need more help on this. I don't put his on my Substack newsletter; that is more current affairs, creative writing, etc.
Your views on homelessness are rather simplistic. Simply getting the cops to harass them doesn’t solve the problem it just moves it to another jurisdiction. We can think great conservative heroes like Ronald Reagan for dismantling the state mental hospital system in California and releasing many of the worst Chronically mentally ill right into the streets. I grew up in L.A. and was born and raised in the area. Homelessness started becoming a problem in the 80s and it’s not all because of progressive social policies but a number of convergent and unfortunate economic, social, cultural, and demographic changes within the United States (particularly affecting California) the past 50 years for the worse.
The first Naturalization Law (1790) was pretty racially specific concerning citizenship, I.e. ‘Free White Citizens.’ The Chinese were excluded by the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882), and about a decade later Japanese were largely excluded from citizenship. These restrictions were strengthened later in the early 20th century and continued until 1965.

Slow guest at times lol
Simpson says ‘whites aren’t special,’ etc. Well, then why care particularly if they are displaced and replaced by other groups?
i did not say that at all

I just heard you say something to the effect, ‘white people aren’t special, close to God, etc’ Did I miss something?
i said nothing like this
33:10-33:35. I basically agree with much of the other views you expressed and it was an interesting interview overall.
The very basis of nationalism is the belief your people are ‘special’ and worth preserving and strengthening in culture and identity.
