Reich and the Genetic Barbarians at the Gates
Jewish geneticist David Reich, who is part of a group that is now backtracking on some egalitarian claims about race and history, because new evidence goes overwhelming against those claims.

LEADING GENETICIST David Reich’s recent interview with Atlantic reveals so much about how the field is simultaneously challenging left wing narratives of history and science, and also being used to shape them.
Since WWII, historians and archaeologists have disputed long held beliefs about ancient population replacements. Epochal events like the Anglo-Saxon migration, the spread of the Indo-Europeans and the Northern origin (Corded Ware) of the Aryans of India were all either “re-examined” or dismissed entirely as the product of “old” Nationalistic ideas. Genetic science is now vindicating many of the early 20th century theories, causing a great deal of kvetching in the ivory towers.
“Reich: So after the Second World War, there was a very strong reaction in the European archaeological community — not just the Germans, but the broad continental European archaeological community — to the fact that their discipline had been used for these terrible political ends. And there was a retreat from the ideas of Kossinna.
Zhang: You actually had German collaborators drop out of a study because of these exact concerns, right? One of them wrote, “We must(!) avoid … being compared with the so-called ‘siedlungsarchäologie Method’ from Gustaf Kossinna!”
Reich: Yeah, that’s right. I think one of the things the ancient DNA is showing is actually the Corded Ware culture does correspond coherently to a group of people. [Editor’s note: The Corded Ware made pottery with cord-like ornamentation and according to ancient DNA studies, they descended from steppe ancestry.] I think that was a very sensitive issue to some of our coauthors, and one of the coauthors resigned because he felt we were returning to that idea of migration in archaeology that pots are the same as people. There have been a fair number of other coauthors from different parts of continental Europe who shared this anxiety.”
Although population geneticists like Reich are regarded as a threat to the comfy hug-box that modern historians and archeologists have created, with Reich comparing his team to “barbarians at the gates”, he is still just as much a part of the zeitgeist as the archeologists. He says, “You have to be more open to immigration. You have to be more open to the mixing of different peoples. That’s your own history.”
Slavs, Germanics, Celts, the Romans, the Iranics and the Aryans etc are all directly descended from the Corded Ware peoples of Northern and Eastern Europe and these people were like modern Nordic/Baltic/Slavic people. This fact makes the establishment nervous so it needs to be sanitised by calling them “immigrants” saying they “came from the East” etc. They want to equate a conquering, ruling people with modern economic migrants, so that instead of being ignited with pride by the achievements of your ancestors, you instead shame them by destroying their legacy. Don’t dismiss modern science as “left-wing lies”, instead pick out the real facts from within the narrative-friendly media statements.

A Letter to an Aryan Mother
by Karl Radl
I wrote this letter in reply to a long email I received from a female friend of mine who asked me for advice about her feelings of personal despair for the Aryan Race after completing graduate studies, getting married to a fellow National Socialist and having children. I reproduce it here because I hope others may find value in my words to her. I have changed her name for obvious reasons, but otherwise my reply is intact. -KR
Eva,
Long-time no speak! First off, let me preface my remarks by saying that I am a hard-line National Socialist. I actually help run a fairly sizable community of Nat Socs — most in their early-20s to mid-30s — so I am going to be a little bit biased in my commentary. You are also welcome to join and ask for advice as we have ladies as well as guys if you’d feel that would help. I can also put you in touch with other National Socialist ladies — also well-educated — to talk through things if you like.
I don’t have a psych background, but I have read plenty of psych stuff in my time as I had to iron out a bunch of issues with my childhood and becoming — as one author would have it — the best version of myself. We all have issues and we have to address them. To give you an example: I had to address my own issues of selfishness (by forcing myself to give up things/be charitable to others), feeling ‘nothing is ever good enough’ (by recognizing that what I do is beloved by many and seeing positives not negatives and that many others suffer more greatly…
