Et Tu Drinker?

It is no surprise that I am a big fan of The Critical Drinker. His evisceration of leftist anti-White propaganda dressed up as entertainment, while not using those precise terms, is usually far more entertaining than the latest drivel served up by Hollywood. He just did his best and worst of 2024 selections….

Of course since this is The Drinker, the worst of section was a lot easier although picking the worst 5 from 2024 was tough because there was so much competition, along with his disappointments like House of the Dragon Season 2 that was a major drop-off from the first season. The Acolyte was an easy add to the worst list as it was just awful, so bad that it had to be intentionally bad.

The best of section was pretty solid. Shogun was the best thing on TV in a very long time. The Penguin was surprisingly good although I haven’t watched the full series yet. Dune Part 2 was also pretty decent other than Zendaya flat out ruining every single scene she was in. She is the cinematic equivalent of a serial killer, murdering scene after scene with reckless abandon. But then again….

Number 3 on his “best of 2024” list is a movie called “One Life“.

I have never heard of this movie. It seemed kind of like a random addition until the Drinker gave the summary. Here is what it says on iMDB:

The true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It’s not until a live BBC television show, ‘That’s Life’, surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

Basically the plot of Schindler’s List. I am glad to see this, I was just saying that what we really needed are more films about “The Holocaust”.

Maybe it is a great film, it has a 7.5 rating on iMDB but that doesn’t really count as most people will over-rate a film about The Single Most Important Event Of The 20th Century. It does beg the question, do we really need yet another “guilty gentile that saved some Jews from Moustache Man Bad” film? World War II was a pretty big deal but it has been slowly reduced to just “The Holocaust” and dropping the bomb on Japan.

The Critical Drinker is known for taking shots at what he calls “The Message” accompanied by this graphic:

When the Drinker is talking about The Message, he means what slightly edgy normies mean: race-swapping, cramming LGBTLMNOPQ++ characters into every movie, girl-bosses who don’t need no man that pummel dudes three times their size with a bitchy scowl. Intentionally wrecking franchises that are meaningful for White men. That sort of nonsense and I am glad to see him taking that on. The issue? Talking about that sort of thing critically is quite easy.

The Drinker has been steadily climbing in subscriber numbers for a long time and is now at north of 2.18 million subs. I don’t know what that translates to from a revenue standpoint but it must be pretty decent and I am not at all certain that One Life is on his best of 2024 list for any reason other than he liked it but I did seem very out of place and obscure. I made this comment on his video:

I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that endless variations of Schindler’s List at the expense of talking about all of the other human tragedies that happened before (Holodomor), during (firebombing places like Dresden and Tokyo) and after (mass rape of German women, the brutalization of German citizens) World War II is the real peak of The Message. It is safe and easy to rail against girl bosses, race swapping and sexual degeneracy in movies but there is one thing you can’t Notice and that is the real Message.

A lot happened in World War II that had nothing to do with the Jews. A lot. In fact it wasn’t really that widely known for a long time. Look at famous World War II movies like A Bridge Too Far, Patton and The Longest Day. They focus on D-Day and the Allied march toward Berlin. No one really mentions anything about Jews or concentration camps. That really changed with Schindler’s List in 1993. Wikipedia even makes this note: “At a 1994 Village Voice symposium about the film, historian Annette Insdorf described how her mother, a survivor of three concentration camps, felt gratitude that the Holocaust story was finally being told in a major film that would be widely viewed”. It simply was not something that received a ton of attention.

I have noted before that the 1992 Stephen Ambrose book, Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest, barely talks about the concentration camps with a single mention of the liberation of one camp but the HBO adaptation makes it a central focus of the miniseries. From my 2021 post D-Day 77 Years Later:

Much of the episode is taken up with the retelling of an actual historical event, the liberation of the Kaufering labor camp in Bavaria. I rewatched it and about 18 minutes of the episode, about a third of the actual non-credits run-time, is taken up with depictions of the labor camp, of starved Jews, of corpses in graves and of the German citizens of the nearby town who were forced to help clean up the camp. It is portrayed as a significant event for Easy Company and the title implies that liberating these camps is one of the reason for why we fought World War II. 

However in the book, the only mention of concentration camps comes in the very end of a chapter titled “Getting To Know The Enemy”, the same chapter I quoted from above to point out the respect the American paratroopers had for the German people. The camp they liberated warranted about a page of mention.

The actual passages on pages 262-263 make up less than 300 total words and certainly come across as a side-note rather than a significant event. The men of Easy Company had seen all sorts of horror in the war and the Kaufering camp was just another one. War is hell and there was horror to be seen from start to finish. Why would something that warrants almost no mention in the book the miniseries was based on be given a prominent role in the miniseries itself? 

For several decades the story of World War II has been subtly altered. In the “Why We Fight” series, the war is portrayed as a struggle between the forces of freedom and the forces of slavery. In more recent times, the major battles and the complex geopolitical issues have all been winnowed down to one aspect above all others: The Nazis and the Holocaust. Many people couldn’t even name the other major belligerents in the war or what started it or when it took place but they know about the Nazis being bad because of the Holocaust.

In 1993 the film Schindler’s List was released. It didn’t get much attention at first, only drawing a little over $600,000 on it’s opening weekend but it quickly became one of the most acclaimed films in modern cinema. It won the Oscar for Best Film and Best Director and is the 6th most highly rated film on IMDb. It is a powerful film, no doubt about it. It also marked the point where the story of WW II became “The Holocaust and some people fighting“. 

As it just so happens, according to IMDb, the episode “Why We Fight” was directed by one David Frankel…

The discovery of the concentration camps had particular resonance for director David Frankel who lost members of his own family in the Nazi death camps.

So a Jewish director decides to take some “artistic license” and prominently feature an event that warranted only passing mention in the book. The reason is clear, at every opportunity the story of WW II must be retconned to focus on the Holocaust even when it isn’t really relevant to the actual events. Like I said, it is appropriate that the episode takes it name from a series of propaganda films. The reason for this and the implications are for another day.

If you are my age or older you have seen this shift for yourself. Something that barely deserves mentioning in a book suddenly becomes an episode long focal point of a miniseries adaptation. I am certain that Jews that served in the U.S. military during the Second World War were in part inspired to go fight Hitler and maybe some non-Jews but that isn’t what the overwhelming majority of Americans were fighting for.

This post isn’t intended as a “crap on the Drinker for not being based enough” screed but it is intended to point out that even most of the edgy people that rail against transvestites and retconning and race-swapping are either intentionally ignoring The Message when it comes wrapped in an Israeli flag or are simply unaware of it.

It has real world consequences. As the biggest bully on the block, America has been standing behind Israel while Our Greatest Ally commits what would be considered war crimes if any other nation committed them and very few people with any sort of platform call them out for it, with the exception of some leftist loons who actually undermine their point by being awful and silly people. The primary reason for this besides evangelicals being theologically enslaved to Israel because of dispensationalism is that thanks to the Holocaust-Industrial Complex, any criticism of any Jew, no matter how mild, gets linked back to “The Holocaust”: “What, you don’t think Israel is justified in bombing hospitals full of civilians? Holocaust denier!”. It really is that extreme. Criticism of George Soros is regularly accused of being “antisemitic”.

That is not an exaggeration. “The Holocaust” is the most unassailable standard for morality in the West. To be clear, I am not a “Holocaust Denier” in the sense that I deny anything happened at all. I am more aptly described as a “Holocaust Skeptic” and a big part of why I describe myself that way is based on one of my truths to live by:

The more you are told you aren’t allowed to question something, the more certain you should be that you ought to question it.

Something that we are told is based on irrefutable evidence ought to be one of the most well researched topics in the world but it oddly isn’t. Pointing this out is itself considered proof one is a “Holocaust Denier” and “antisemite”. If I said “I don’t think the Pearl Harbor attacks really happened”, someone can take me to Hawaii and show me the sunken wreck of the Arizona. That evidence proves that a battleship was sunk at that spot but it doesn’t answer questions like “Why were all of the aircraft carriers so conveniently absent?” and “Did Roosevelt know the attack was coming and allowed it to proceed to create the rage needed to get a reluctant American people to support total war?”.

The Twitter account “Apolitical” posted this recently and I thought it was quite good.

There are lots of people with a lot invested in maintaining the status quo system even though it isn’t working for most people and hasn’t for a long time. Much of the backlash against Trump and MAGA is because it strays a little too close to the line of nationalism and populism and those schools of thought are anathema to The Powers That Be. Look at what happens to those sorts of movement on either side of the political spectrum when they crop up like Occupy Wall Street on the Left and the Tea Party on the Right. They are rapidly co-opted and assimilated by The Establishment Borg before they can lead to any real changes.

That is pretty far afield from my comment to The Critical Drinker but hopefully it speaks to the extent to which The Message isn’t even the same Message that people like the Drinker think. I still watch the Drinker, every video he posts, because he is funny but I always try to remember that he is just an entertainer at heart. He makes a nice living by posting funny videos attacking the easy, low hanging fruit but even the Drinker colors within the lines.

If the questions you are asking aren’t causing some sort of backlash, you aren’t asking the right questions.

    This may be your most insightful and accurate writing yet. Certainly since I have been reading your work. This one I’m printing out. Well said!

    Question the Message with 2 mil followers. Lose your JewTube privileges.

    More interestingly is (some) people posting videos of drones or skyquakes getting visits or contact from suits to remove the content. That was the right question Detective Spooner.

        And here, I thought the Nogs had explored the stars from their SkyDrome in Wakanda–then Whitey came in to claim the credit! [Sneaky bastards]!

        White Privilege MUST be real; how else could Nogs have lost out on the prestige & royalties from their innumerable spectacular inventions?

        C’mon, man! How does Musk–a White guy from South Africa–get all those SpaceX patents & contracts, huh? Open your eyes! All those Hottentots, Bantus & Watusis churning out high tech inventions and they get no recognition?

        This defies credibility.

    Both tragedies, the Holocaust and the Holodomir, pale in comparison to Mao’s murderous rampages, yet communisim is still with us. Legions of people still suffer under it. This grim reality confirms apolitical’s theory.

    • Lineman

      I’m at the point of who gives a fuck about any tragedy that doesn’t involve our people and you are correct because communism , marxism, feminism is all based on the jewish insanity…

      • Big Ruckus D

        While I’m in agreement on that point, the other large scale genocides of history are useful as rhetorical devices to point out how the tribe has utterly monopolized the social and political discourse with their never ending kvetching about “the 6 million”. The intentional crowding out of all other genocides (to their sole benefit) is so obvious it’s embarrassing to witness.

        It’s like the whole “world at war, women most adversely affected” trope. For fucks sake, what a way to insult those who took the brunt of the beating. And that they do it with such absolute shamelessness – and sneering at us the whole time because they know exactly what they’re doing – is infuriating. I’m not sure what will finally break that spell. It looks like it’s hold is a bit less with each successive generation, and the passing of the boomers may finally break the power of the magic debate ending, trump card incantation that the holo”cost” has been made into.

        It is so tiresome to always have that shit thrown in our faces when it is well down the list of historical atrocities just on the numbers alone, to say nothing of the level of animalistic viciousness employed in other more notable ethnic cleansings. Getting gassed pales in comparison to the stomach turning tortuous atrocities the bolsheviks did to their victims in Soviet Russia. Oh, and just what sort of people were the (((bolsheviks)))? Yeah. I rest my case, fuck these two faced snip dick cocksuckers. Their control of “the message™” needs to be broken, and they need an asskicking right into the back side to hell for all the destruction and misery they’ve wrought the world over. And don’t lose sight of the fact that their offenses are ongoing every single day in government, education, finance, medicine and entertainment.

        What’s funny is that in trying to prevent another backlash against themselves for their never ending perfidy and subversion, they have more or less guaranteed another massive backlash. When it finally happens, I won’t be hiding any in my floorboards, because they have it coming in spades. Hell, they may be getting it from the spades, who have been their useful idiot cat’s paws for nigh on 80 years now, at least in America.

        Jews are the cultural embodiment of the smarmy little shithead who can’t win a legit fight on physical strength, yet is always making schoolyard taunts and stirring the shit, and then when they’re about to get a rightfully earned beat down, they pull the “you can’t touch me, my dad’s the police chief and will fuck you up” and run off to rat you out to the principal style move. In Vox Day’s sociosexual hierarchy, 100% pure distilled gamma. Always undercutting the strong and capable with their bitch moves.

        The correct response is to fully administer the deserved ass beating, and then go shoot the proverbial principal and police chief who are running cover for them, so we can be rid of all three burdensome assholes. Without the backing of amenable authority as their muscle, the problem is solved quickly and with finality. It is only the violence and ruination (and ever present threat of it being wielded) that keeps these little shits from being dealt with.

        And just to prove I play fair, I heartily advocate for kicking the shit out any other specific group of constant pains in the ass who comport themselves in such a manner (such as the vaunted 13% of astrophysicists in training). Any group dropping unearned get out of jail free cards with such frequency needs to be told to STFU and either get out, or die if they refuse. Enough of our people being hamstrung by this bullshit.

        • Arthur Sido

          That is an apt comparison. Jews by and large are weak so they have survived and thrived by being sneaky, clever and above all taking care of each other. Whites have been lulled into ignoring it because They don’t look threatening.

          • Steady Steve

            It’s not just that. No matter how horrible or awful one Jew acts, none of his tribe will ever call him out or criticize him for it. And if you point this out “muh holocaust” is the excuse.Negros are much the same except they use “muh slavery”. We need to rub the same shit in their faces using “muh reverse racism”.

        • JEMKEMVIEW CANCERS

          Brilliant. I’m committing some of these points to long term memory when the debate arises amongst some of my normie associates.

          “White Nationalism”: The Controversial Idea that White People Should Continue to Exist.

          I went back & forth with a troller (I know! Should have let it go) who demanded the source for my statement about the massive (((j))) representation in Bolshevism & their role in that wholesale butchery.

          My reference was “Russia and the Jews: 200 Years Together” by Solzhenitsyn.
          Never got a response from the ‘Tard.

    It’s a popular Hollywood genre that might be categorized as “Schindler’s Grift”. Wring out every last drop of White guilt for the allies not doing anything about a horror campaign, the extent of which is hotly disputed, that no one outside Germany and Poland knew anything about at the time.

    And boy, does it ever grind the gears of blacks to note that da joos are higher up on the victim totem pole than they are. As one homeboy working security at my employer ages ago said about the matter, “Don’t talk to me about your 6 million, when we got 30 million.” Slight exaggeration is likely there in the historical record of slave populations, but math never was your average dindu’s strong suit.

    I am put in mind of the famous Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck back-and-forth:

    “It’s SLAVE season!” “HOLOCAUST season!” “SLAVE season!” “HOLOCAUST season!”

    On second thought, let’s call the whole thing off.

    • Big Ruckus D

      Schindler’s Grift. I love it. A bunch of tribe get together, make a movie, get whites to pay to see it and further guilt trip themselves for a couple of hours in the process, earn enormous profits, and then give themselves a bunch of awards for having done so. What chutzpah.

    • Arthur Sido

      I have a lot more respect for blacks who hate us but also recognize that they are being manipulated by Jews. Brother Malcolm X and I would have despised each other but we also both recognized our common enemy.

  5. ozark homesteader

    Apolitical pretty well covers it. I also believe the fabrication of the holocaust is for to cover up and obfuscate the fact of the brutal, bloody murders of 66,000,000 Whites in Russia. “Always blame your enemy for what you are doing to create confusion.”

          • Big Ruckus D

            A while back, I had some stickers I printed up that read “The preceding program has been a Smith-Mundt production, sponsored by the ADL and NAACP.” I’d stick them on TV screens when out and about, if I could do so discretely. Doubtful there were many who actually got it, but it was worth a try, and just might have tweaked a few useful idiots. I’ve used the same schtick verbally (in my best announcer voice) now and again if I happened to be somewhere a TV was on, especially a “news” program, right as it ended.

    While we’re on the subject: Germar Rudolf, a German national and the current dean of holohoax revisionists was arrested here in the good ol Jew-S-A while trying to seek asylum from the commie kraut government that was making his life unbearable. No such thing as a persecuted White dissident here. Only niggers and latrinos are accepted, no questions asked.
    You can visit his sites CODOH.com and germarrudolf.com.
    This is the initial grabbing of low-hanging fruit which will soon to become a major roundup of American citizens deemed guilty of wrong think. Bank on it!

    The first time I heard a comparison of Trump to Hitler, I immediately dismissed it. Now I’m not so sure. It’s not that I think Trump will focus on one race or ideology (certainly not the funny-hat club, he loves them)… but he is a nationalist politician who was popularly elected to return the country to a previous system. MAGA is = the response to Weimer Germany. American’s are PISSED about all the faggotry and fraud in our government, and want to take their country back. Germans were PISSED about all the faggotry and fraud in Weimer Germany’s government, and wanted to take their country back.
    And I suspect Trump will achieve the same style of comeback for America that Hitler did for Germany, and he will be greatly loved by all because of it. The Jews hating on and wanting to derail him, are doing it because his (and or) goals are at odds with theirs. If they should suffer inordinately because of their association to the problems American’s feel are ruining our nation, that’s coincidental, not deliberate or direct. Maybe they should stop trying to ruin this nation, and see if people stop hating on them?
    That’s what kills me about the way they talk about “Anti-Sematism”. Did you ever once bother to ask WHY you’ve been kicked out of every country that’s ever allowed you to settle in it? For Eons? No? No self reflection whatsoever.

      “The Jew will tell you what happened to him, but he will not tell you why.” -Old Russian proverb
      The Russians had them figured out a long time ago. I recently read a little known historical account where Mayer Rothschild offered Nicholas II debt forgiveness if he would lift the restrictions on jews in Russia. Nicholas II refused, and was then purported to have said “I fear I have just signed my own death warrant.”

    Arthur, I would like to commend you for keeping these pages free from trolling, contrarianism for the sake of piquing argument and general all-around needy, attention-seeking faggotry. Other pages could vastly improve their standing simply by pulling some weeds. You are indeed a man among men.

      I honestly don’t get that many trolling comments, so I run a pretty much Wild West comment section, although I do get a ton of spam comments in what appears to be Russian and some in Chinese which makes no sense.

    “And I suspect Trump will achieve the same style of comeback for America that Hitler did for Germany, and he will be greatly loved by all because of it”

    LMAO. You can’t be serious! Oblivious Trump chumps think the only handicap they have is on the golf course.

    • Big Ruckus D

      Thing is, we haven’t yet plumbed the depths of depravity and suffering as occured during the Weimar republic, nor have we had the widespread, violent backlash against all the filth and perversion yet. All that stuff (the faggotry and trannyism particularly) saw a huge backlash from the population at large who were truly disgusted of it all.

      Nothing of that sort has happened here yet. Not has the utter economic collapse – as in Weimar – resulting in widespread malnourishment and women whoring themselves just to survive (well, there is Onlyfans, but that isn’t the same as street walking for a few dollars to buy a bit of food) occured yet.

      So, I would postulate that we have a ways to go until conditions are bad enough to elict the rise of a Hitleresque figure to properly channel the public anger and disillusionment towards the task of burning out the tumors amongst us. Trump sure isn’t anything of the sort, he’s a civnat through and through, who wants to take in/on all comers, so long as they can contribute something to the scam economy that serves as a simulacrum for actual productivity and growth.

      Now, maybe he surprises us with some unexpectedly solid policy changes and shoves the transfaggotry and DEI back garbage down into the filthy communist shithole from whence it emerged for a while. But that fight will re-emerge soon enough, and only a violent backlash that forcibly subdues and defeats the perpetrators of our downfall will be effective at casting it out for a longer term, and give us a chance to recover a decent society and standard of living.

      Of course, we could get to conditions that bad within a couple of years based on what I expect the economy to do (watch the exponential growth of the deficit, especially as it pertains to expenditures on CMS, and the knock on inflation it will cause) so even if the mass perversion and nigger/invader worship gets contained, we are still in a very bad place.

        I wish more people would realize this. The whole “We’re Back Baby” is a lie. People just refuse to see it.

        I think that’s what the whole spectacle of the Army-Navy game was all about.

    WW2 was all because of Jews in camps, just like the civil war was all because of Negroes on plantations. Oh, and our revolutionary war was because all men are created equal. A little knowledge of history . . . as it is taught . . . and righteousness is ours.

  11. Jeffrey Zoar

    There’s a very real sense that all roads of western political dissidence end up leading to the holocaust mythology sooner or later, just as defense of the GAE and its purpose/philosophy ends up leaning, ultimately, on the holocaust mythology. It’s the foundation stone of it all. And thus the one thing you cannot question. When you get to that point, you have to go one way or the other. And it’s not even really a question of how truthful the mythology is (and there’s plenty of reasons to question it), it’s just as much a question of why is THIS ONE the most remembered, venerated, revered, indeed, even celebrated genocide, when there are so many genocides to choose from?

    • Big Ruckus D

      This perfectly encapsulates what pisses me off about it. The tribe has succeeded in making their persecution the only one that matters, to such a remarkable extent that no others may even be mentioned, without it being considered a violation of decorum.

      There is a ceaseless arrogance about them that forces (or at least tries to) the rest of society to carry the water for their cause. It is so blatantly overbearing and condescending, and yet it astonishes me how few people actually perceive it that way, when it is right in their faces.

      • Jeffrey Zoar

        If there’s an avenue of “attack” for dissidents to take, this is it. Any questioning of the “facts” just gets you labeled a holocaust denier, and communication ends. But asking what’s so special about this genocide, why do we have all these museums to this particular genocide, and not the others? That is not as easily countered.
