Anytime the goyim are talking among themselves, grave danger is afoot. We must know every word that every one of them is saying, and everything that every one of them is doing, without restriction or limit.
* Cass Sunstein —- a Jewish-American who held a senior regulatory position in the Obama administration, who has advocated coercive measures against and “cognitive infiltration” of “conspiracy theories,” and who is the husband of prominent US diplomat Samantha Powers – has made a similar argument.
In an article entitled “Could Bowling Leagues and the PTA Breed Nazis?,” he argues that civil society organizations such as “sports clubs, religious groups and parent-teacher associations” allowed Nazi and antisemitic ideology to quickly spread throughout Germany without attracting official scrutiny.
Sunstein goes on to warn that these activities and “dense social networks also increase people’s vulnerability to extremism. A great deal of work suggests that terrorism itself can arise not because people are isolated, poor or badly educated, but because they are part of tightly knit networks in which hateful ideas travel quickly.” Because any social network or civil society organization is a potential source of “extremism,” or “terrorism,” all such groups are potentially suspect.
Purportedly “liberal” publications such as Slate soon began touting this argument.
It is only a matter of time until the American ruling class begins to argue that any insufficiently-diverse gathering of three or more Whites (or White males) needs an official “minder” to prevent “hate” and “non-inclusion.”
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Germany had an exceptionally vibrant civil society that included clubs involved in hiking, animal breeding, shooting, gymnastics, bowling, firefighting and singing. The authors’ principal finding is that in cities with dense networks of clubs and associations, Germans were far more likely to join the Nazi Party. In their words, “a dense fabric of civic associations went hand-in-hand with a more rapid rise of Nazi party membership.”
It could be suggested that some independent factor, such as socioeconomic status or religion, accounts both for associational activity and for willingness to join the Nazi Party. But that suggestion is inconsistent with the evidence. Even if we control for these and other variables, a dense network of civic associations is correlated with significantly higher rates of entry into the Nazi Party.
This finding undermines the view, held by some, that the Nazi Party succeeded by appealing to people who were socially isolated and that Hitler was able to draw support largely from the lonely and the rootless.
But the evidence strongly suggests otherwise. Nazism spread in part as a result of face-to-face interactions by people who were in frequent contact with one another.
Consider the chilling remarks of a Nazi Party member who recalled his growing acquaintance “with a colleague of my own age with whom I had frequent conversations. He was a calm, quiet person whom I esteemed very highly. When I found out that he was one of the local leaders of the National Socialist party, my opinion of it as a group of criminals changed completely.”
Comments posted on Bloomberg:
* Sooo you are scared that men will become tribal again? Does this threaten your little utopian plans?
* Cass forgot the most evil, the most pervasive, voluntary associations around: the nuclear family, the extended family and the tribe. Operating in secret, meeting and sharing in secret, even eating in secret, they pass on the most pernicious beliefs imaginable. The tribe keeps all others out during their special rituals and celebrations in which they pass on their pernicious extremist beliefs. Until we can ban meetings of the tribe and the family, democracy will never be safe.
* Somehow, Cass Sunstein overlooked a current example: Israel, with its Jews-only, illegal settlements in the occupied territories, ethnically cleanses the indigenous Palestinian people as well as fails to allow them their legal right of return.
* The looney left never fails to surprise. Apparently there are some Tim McVeighs prowling around the “liberal” ranks.
This writer is simply insane. Why Bloomberg would be a mouthpiece for this idiocy is beyond me.
* So is this a not so subtle recommendation for the government to monitor and control private meetings……is that it? This on the heels of the article discussing the fact that the Whitehouse is now forming groups within the government to “Nudge” people into making the “right” decisions! You know, so they can help the people achieve their goals…….Their goals? What???!! Good God! The forces of darkness really are at the doorstep.
* Sunstein, dershowitz et all will not be satisfied until there are no more caucasians in europe and america. destroy the family, promote open borders and 3d world immigration, instigate racial hatred, etc etc. makes me wanna puke.
* Yes, when people belong to healthy recreational, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual associations, they are more likely to create health political associations, such as the magnificent NSDAP.
* Why didn’t Sunstein title the article “Could GLAAD and MoveOn.org Breed Nazis?” Sunstein is a leftist bottom feeder who continually tries to smear ordinary Americans with his vile innuendos.The irony is that his politics, his propaganda, and his policy of demonizing anyone who disagrees with him are almost identical to the Nazis’.
* “Could Bowling Leagues and the PTA Breed Nazis?”
No.
But but we know that control freaks like Sunstein with their Harvard pedigrees closely hew to the NAZI paradigm of rule by an elite clique of self proclaimed experts.
Don’t we Cass?
Sunstein breaks a record(or at least ties one) by falsely associating normal people who believe in the direct opposite of total government as NAZI’s in an a vile Orwelliian inversion of language and thus confirming Godwin’s law from the get go.
Sunstein is dangerously dishonest in his arguments and depends on the historical illiteracy of his audience to pass this drivel off as enlightened reasoning.
* Has Cass ever gone bowling?
My brother is an avid bowler. His bowling league included teams composed of gay men and lesbians, handicapped individuals, and most of the teams were multi-racial. Perhaps if Cass mingled with regular people more frequently and less with his self-selected, elitist types, he might find that he’s the one who’s got the Nazi tendencies, rather than the other way around.* Any movement that becomes viable does so because there is widespread discontent. Social activities only serve to connect those who are discontent. To suggest social activities bring about extreme movements is absurd. We are heading in that direction now because our government has created a climate of distrust and fear.
* I guess the lesson to be learned, then, is that when disadvantaged populations start to accumulate social capital, it’s best to destroy that capital, lest it threaten the interests of the entrenched elite, of which Professor Sunstein is a part.
* Scumbag-Jew-Sunstein KNOWS what has been done to Americans and BY WHOM.
Thats why he is so paranoid.
He has good reason to be.Look at what he is describing – basically, people interacting and talking with each other led to an awakening as to where the problem comes from – to him thats a problem.
To ANYONE else, it is a solution.
Sunstein is a vampire who fears the light of day.

Here is the last bit of the Joel Stein article;”But I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.”* WE WANT OUR NATIONS BACK AND WE WILL HAVE THEM NO MATTER HOW MANY JEWS OR OTHER INVADERS MUST DIE! (because we know you usurpers will never leave peacefully)
HAIL VICTORY!!!!* Perhaps the lesson is that social capital is neither good nor bad, but that the goodness or badness depends on how that capital is invested. After all, no one ever accused organized crime of having bad business sense.
* Well, bowling is about throwing a ball down a lane to violently knock down a set of completely innocent pins who have done nothing to offend the bowler. The more pins one knocks down, the higher the score and the more acclaim a person receives.
I could see how bowling alleys could be a good recruiting ground for a violent ideology — especially with the early 1930’s collapse of the German economy during the Depression.
* The economist Hayek noted National Socialism (Nazism) appeared to attract people with social (networking) agendas. For example: the medical profession in Germany were early and very enthusiastic National Socialists. Probably no society in history was more health conscious than Nazi Germany. They had ubiquitous anti-smoking campaigns, were very conscious of health risks (asbestos e.g.) in the workplace. Sports clubs and University clubs were very pro Nazi. In fact Lillian Hellman, when she visited Germany in 1928 was impressed by the community consciousness of German pro-Nazi students until she realized they were Jew-haters too. That opened her eyes.
In any case National Socialist Germany was not a society that promoted American style “turn a buck-me first” individualism. In fact Hayek noted that Hitler’s system could not be understood by the Brits or Americans (and he was alarmed by that) unless it was grasped that Nazism was a collectivist “genuine socialism.” It did attract whole networks of people.
I think people such as Sunstein mean well. However, the problem with all socialism (depending on the degree to which it is implemented in society) is that it will to some degree or other cripple individual liberty. People such as Hayek (or Milton Friedman for that matter) believed that society does have common good issues (health, education, caring for the poor, unemployment protections etc.) but advised that some form of vouchers replace any state machinery (bureaucracies) because the bureaucracies will eventually bring tyranny lite or 100 proof tyranny via “state mandates.” (If I remember correctly Milton Friedman wanted Welfare replaced by a negative income tax-some form of direct payment that eliminated (as much as possible) any welfare bureaucracy.)
As for National Socialism, Hayek was very alarmed at the myth that was taking root in Britain and the USA in the 30s that National Socialism (Nazism) was a kind of Free Market Capitalism on steroids. He said to understand National Socialism a person had to see clearly that it is a “genuine socialism” (a kind of socialism for “Aryans only” )and that for that reason Nazism was an enemy to the Free market, free trade, individual liberty-things Brits and Americans take as G-d given Rights.
Slate: “We need also consider the type of social capital our society is creating and how it’s being deployed. Germany’s social capital might have been mobilized to improve the world; Hitler instead exploited it to his own insidious ends. It is also crucial to think about whether, in Putnam’s words, social capital will serve as a “bridge” to bring those with disparate beliefs together—think of the Democrat and Republican who meet in the comfortable environment of a PTA meeting—or whether it will serve to “bond” its participants, by strengthening existing ties, encouraging those with similar beliefs to grow closer still.”
