The first part of our Tribal Trouble is that we\u2019re ruled by a <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccidentalobserver.net\/category\/jews-as-a-hostile-elite\/\">hostile Jewish elite<\/a><\/span> who form a real, genetically interrelated tribe with a quite different set of interests than the native Brits. The second part of our Trouble is that this hostile elite have imported millions of non-Whites and strongly encouraged them to pursue their own advantage with other, home-based identity-groups. The third part of our Trouble is that Whites are discouraged just as strongly from defending themselves. Ben Cobley\u2019s book discusses only the second and third parts of our Tribal Trouble. But it does that very well and I can heartily recommend it to hate-thinkers right across the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/Anglosphere\">Anglosphere<\/a><\/span>.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>One sinner that repenteth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>Cobley is among the first to join what will soon become a flood, when more and more Whites, and White heterosexual men in particular, realize that the \u201cLiberal-Left\u201d hates them, wishes them nothing but ill, and should be treated by them as exactly what it is: an enemy of reason, truth, beauty and freedom. Cobley has seen the Light \u2014 and the Blight. He\u2019s described on the back cover as \u201c<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/afreeleftblog.blogspot.com\/2016\/06\/i-have-left-labour-party-few-words.html\">a former Labour party activist<\/a><\/span>,\u201d and \u201cformer\u201d is the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><em><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/mot%20juste\">mot juste<\/a><\/em><\/span>. <em>The Tribe<\/em> is a series of unspeakable blasphemies against \u201cliberal-left\u201d orthodoxy. Or rather, it\u2019s not, because Cobley speaks his blasphemies very clearly and forcefully. Here\u2019s a prime example, something that all we haters at the <em>Occidental Observer <\/em>will be delighted to endorse:<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The subject of mass immigration probably brings out liberal-left identity and its ideology of diversity in the clearest form. It is unthinkable that the system of diversity could have arisen and developed to anywhere near the degree it has without mass immigration. This defining phenomenon of our times has not just brought in large numbers of people who can be funnelled into the race-based identity groups within the system. It has also offered possibilities to various different groups in British government and political circles, which have gathered around immigration and immigrants <em>as a cause<\/em>; for them, mass immigration has offered a role and an ongoing project to oversee and enforce. \u2026 The radical left [has] found a new class of people to support with its ideologies of oppression [and the] economistic tendency, a dominant force in government circles and public life, [has] found in immigrants a new source of competitiveness and economic activity. (ch. 2, \u201cThe Tribe,\u201d p. 50)<\/h5>\n<h5>Cobley gets it \u2014 or a great part of it, at least. But there are two very big omissions in his analysis.

The process, he said, began with Jews, before being taken up by blacks, women and gays. He said the effect had been \u201cinexorably divisive.\u201d \u201cA culture of victimhood sets group against group, each claiming that its pain, injury, oppression, humiliation is greater than that of others,\u201d he said.

Lord Glasman, 49, had already told BBC Radio 4 recently [in 2011]: \u2018What you have with immigration is the idea that people should travel all over the world in search of higher-paying jobs, often to undercut existing workforces, and somehow in the Labour Party we got into a position that that was a good thing. Now obviously it undermines solidarity, it undermines relationships, and in the scale that it\u2019s been going on in England, it can undermine the possibility of politics entirely.\u2019<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The academic, who directs the faith and citizenship programme at London Metropolitan University, criticised Labour for being \u2018hostile to the English working class\u2019. He said: \u2018In many ways [Labour] viewed working-class voters as an obstacle to progress. Their commitment to various civil rights, anti-racism, meant that often working-class voters\u2026 were seen as racist, resistant to change, homophobic and generally reactionary. So in many ways you had a terrible situation where a Labour government was hostile to the English working class.\u2019 (<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-1377477\/Ed-Miliband-ally-attacks-Labour-migration-lies.html\">Miliband ally attacks Labour migration \u2018lies\u2019 over 2.2m they let in Britain<\/a><\/span>, <em>The Daily Mail<\/em>, 16th April 2011)<\/h5>\n<h5>Glasman summed up some of the central themes of <em>The Tribe<\/em>. Cobley\u2019s discussion of modern British politics is based on the concept of two great \u201cidentity groups,\u201d which he labels \u201cThe Favoured\u201d and \u201cThe Unfavoured\u201d (Introduction, p. 5). Among the Favoured, he lists women, non-Whites, immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, the transgendered, and the disabled. Among the Unfavoured, he lists men, Whites, non-immigrants, Christians, heterosexuals, the \u201ccisgendered,\u201d and the able-bodied. He then conducts what the French philosopher <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/infogalactic.com\/info\/Michel_Foucault\">Michel Foucault<\/a><\/span> would have called a <a href=\"https:\/\/infogalactic.com\/info\/Cratology\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">cratolog<\/span>y<\/a> \u2014 from Greek <em>kratos<\/em>, \u201cpower\u201d and <em>logos<\/em>, \u201cstudy\u201d \u2014 of the \u201cSystem of Diversity\u201d that oversees these two groups, sanctifying and rewarding the former, demonizing and punishing the latter.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The sickness of the modern West<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>Fortunately, Cobley doesn\u2019t mention Foucault and doesn\u2019t torture his readers with sociological jargon or pretentious post-modernism.

Although I can heartily recommend <em>The Tribe<\/em> to anyone who wants insights into the sickness of the modern West, I wish that it had been better written. Leftism blights everything it touches, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orwell.ru\/library\/essays\/politics\/english\/e_polit\">including language<\/a>, and Cobley\u2019s prose sometimes bears witness to his past as \u201ca Labour party activist.\u201d He should have read less of the <em>Guardian<\/em>and more of George Orwell.<\/h5>\n<div id=\"attachment_178585\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-System-at-work-1-Labour-fem-pols.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-178585\" class=\"wp-image-178585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-System-at-work-1-Labour-fem-pols.png\" alt=\"The System at work #1: Labour fem-pols with a Muslim woman. click to enlarge \" width=\"340\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-System-at-work-1-Labour-fem-pols.png 640w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-System-at-work-1-Labour-fem-pols-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-178585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The System at work #1: Labour fem-pols with a Muslim woman. click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<h5>And perhaps he should have been autobiographical and described the direct experiences that <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/afreeleftblog.blogspot.com\/2016\/06\/i-have-left-labour-party-few-words.html\">led him to abandon<\/a><\/span> the Labour party. He\u2019s seen the Blight, but I couldn\u2019t detect any clear disgust or horror at what the System of Diversity is doing to Britain. His tone throughout is calm, measured, and reasonable, which is, of course, a refreshing contrast to the hysteria and mendacity of the System. But is such a tone appropriate when one is discussing matters like \u201cthe sustained attempts to cover up mass child sexual exploitation (CSE) committed by gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim men in Rotherham and elsewhere\u201d? (Introduction, p. 7) Perhaps it is: Cobley may feel that the horrors speak for themselves. Here\u2019s part of a positive review of <em>The Tribe<\/em> which won\u2019t have displeased him:<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In the first 30 pages Cobley tells the story of Rotherham through the lens of the system of diversity. He documents how leaders drawn from one of the system\u2019s favoured groups \u2014 Pakistani Muslims \u2014 were able to cover up an extraordinary crime spree (at least 1400 children sexually abused in a single town). State institutions simply outsourced authority over that group to state-funded \u2018community leaders\u2019, especially Pakistani-background Labour Party councillors.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">These individuals \u2014 by constantly referring to \u2018community cohesion\u2019 and making accusations of racism \u2014 were able to ensure police officers, teachers, and social workers from every kind of background were simply ignored when they pointed out that there was, in fact, a vast pool of criminality pullulating under their noses. Criticism was construed as an attack on a group the \u2018system of diversity\u2019 favours, or even on the idea of diversity or variation itself. Meanwhile, politicians and civil servants higher up the food chain (overwhelmingly posh, even though drawn from Labour) simply rescinded responsibility for their constituents. One social worker told the Rotherham Inquiry, \u2018if we mentioned Asian taxi drivers we were told we were racist and the young people were seen as prostitutes,\u2019 while another said \u2018we were constantly being reminded not to be racist\u2019.

His disgrace is greater now and there is every reason to feel disappointed in Denis and even let down. There are those who will suggest that the causes he espoused are somehow morally poisoned by the crimes to which he has admitted. There are certainly some who will draw comfort from the fact that such an active campaigner has been removed from the field.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I have no doubt that, whatever happens, Denis MacShane will be back. He has reinvented himself before and he will do it again, perhaps under his original name, Denis Matyjaszek.

As we saw above, the former Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Jewish-World\/Jewish-News\/Sacks-Multiculturalism-threatens-democracy\">could do that<\/a><\/span> in 2007 because he was protected by his own status as a Jew. But Sacks\u2019 remarks went little-remarked at the time and only hate-sites like the <em>Occidental Observer<\/em> will publicize them now. Ben Cobley certainly couldn\u2019t have included them in <em>The Tribe<\/em>, because he has been dealt a useless hand in the game of identity politics: \u201cOnly heterosexual white-skinned ethnic British or English men have a full set of unfavoured identifiers, so a clear majority of Britain\u2019s population can appeal to membership of at least one favoured group.\u201d (ch. 4, \u201cThe Unfavoured Groups,\u201d p. 113)<\/h5>\n<h5>But some groups are more \u201cFavoured\u201d than others, as Cobley\u2019s discussion of Rotherham reveals. The White working-class girls in Rotherham could \u201cappeal to membership\u201d of the Favoured group of women, but their abusers could \u201cappeal to membership\u201d of even more potent Favoured groups. They were non-White and Muslim. And just like the fraudster <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccidentalobserver.net\/2014\/01\/moshe-is-monitoring-you-duplicity-double-think-and-the-jewish-dream-of-a-communist-europe\/\">Denis MacShane<\/a><\/span>, Britain\u2019s feminists are not going to get between non-White Muslim rapists and their White rapees. Supposedly philogynist feminists and definitely misogynist Muslims are in alliance, as Cobley <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/afreeleftblog.blogspot.com\/2016\/09\/why-islamists-and-feminists-avoid.html\">points out<\/a><\/span>: \u201cTo avoid [disrupting the spoils of the diversity-system], other favoured groups must not be disturbed, which is why we rarely see Islamists and feminists directly challenging each other in public.\u201d (ch. 3, \u201cThe Favoured Groups,\u201d p. 95)<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cThe authoritarian\u2019s dream of \u2026 uncontested authority\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>After discussing \u201cThe Favoured Groups,\u201d \u201cThe Unfavoured Groups,\u201d and \u201cThe Role of Institutions,\u201d Cobley goes on to examine \u201cThe Labour Party\u201d and its \u201cCentral Role\u201d in the deeply pernicious, but also \u2014 for its adherents \u2014 highly profitable \u201cSystem of Diversity.\u201d Britain may soon have a Labour government headed by the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccidentalobserver.net\/2015\/08\/hearts-of-darkness-minority-worship-and-the-scandal-at-kids-company\/\">minority-worshipping<\/a> <\/span>Jeremy Corbyn and the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccidentalobserver.net\/2016\/10\/working-class-zero-the-political-autism-of-alan-moore-and-his-labour-party-friends-part-2\/\">White-hating<\/a><\/span> Diane Abbott, so Cobley\u2019s analysis of <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/afreeleftblog.blogspot.com\/2016\/06\/i-have-left-labour-party-few-words.html\">his former party<\/a> <\/span>has much more than academic or regional interest. But he\u2019s already skewered its ideology in an earlier chapter:<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The power to decide what it means to be racist and sexist is reserved for favoured identity group representatives. They have the authority to decide what constitutes their victimhood, based on their knowledge of their victimhood, which is of something absolute, universal and therefore beyond question. This is the authoritarian\u2019s dream of a place of uncontested authority. The system makes the appropriation of victimhood central to securing it, so that the more the favoured groups appear as victims, the more it bolsters their representatives\u2019 authority. (ch. 4, \u201cThe Unfavoured Groups,\u201d p. 113)<\/h5>\n<h5>That is acute analysis written in clear and unpretentious prose. Perhaps Cobley was more influenced there by Orwell than by Heidegger or Marx. But Cobley\u2019s knowledge of Marx sharpens his blasphemy against \u201cliberal-left\u201d orthodoxy, because he\u2019s able to call Marx as a witness for the prosecution:<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In 1870, Karl Marx noted how \u2018Ireland constantly sends her own surplus to the English labour market, and thus forces down wages and lowers the material and moral position of the English working class.\u2019 He added, \u2018This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the English working class, despite its organization. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power. And the latter is quite aware of this.\u2019 \u2026 The problems associated with contemporary mass immigration are of a similar character [to those described by Marx]: increasing intensification and exploitation of nature and man; opposing classes of people being thrown against each other; rapid population growth; existential defeat for some people and the disappearance of old ways of life, including old working practices. Moreover, the language used by the ideologues of mass immigration is the same as in those times of Industrial Revolution and colonisation: of \u2018rationality\u2019, \u2018progress\u2019, inevitability\u2019, \u2018necessity\u2019 and \u2018need\u2019. (ch. 4, \u201cThe Unfavoured Groups,\u201d p. 130)<\/h5>\n<h5>Marx got it too. And unlike Cobley, Marx was prepared to criticize Jews for their role in capitalism and the harm it does to the working-class. Marx\u2019s \u201c<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/marx\/works\/1844\/jewish-question\/\">On the Jewish Question<\/a><\/span>\u201d (1843) is a notorious piece of left-wing anti-Semitism.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Hate Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>Cobley no doubt rejects Marx\u2019s criticism of Jews with the same horror as he will reject support from the <em>Occidental Observer<\/em>. But many in the Hate Community have made the same political journey as he has: from belief in the \u201cSystem of Diversity\u201d to recognition that it is corrupt, self-serving, and malign. However, Cobley\u2019s journey is far from over. As I noted above, he shows absolutely no recognition of human bio-diversity, which means that he can\u2019t properly explain why mass immigration by Blacks and Muslims has been so bad for a White nation like Britain. These groups are biologically and, at present, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/takimag.com\/article\/reichs_laboratory_steve_sailer\/\">intractably different<\/a> <\/span>from Whites, because their genetics give them lower average IQs and higher average propensities to crime and clannishness.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Full of blasphemies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>They don\u2019t belong in an advanced Western nation like Britain any more than Merkel\u2019s Millions belong <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccidentalobserver.net\/2016\/01\/mother-merkels-miracle-a-wonder-working-woman-turns-cologne-into-cairo\/\">in Germany<\/a><\/span> or Macron\u2019s Millions belong<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> <a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccidentalobserver.net\/2016\/05\/dreams-of-eurocide-non-white-immigration-as-a-weapon-of-race-war\/\">in France<\/a><\/span>.

However, I don\u2019t think he truly believes in the solutions for reform that he offers in the ninth and final chapter of <em>The Tribe<\/em>, which is entitled \u201cHow Should We Respond to the System\u201d?<\/h5>\n<h5>As the White working-class would put it: Cobley is <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/idioms.thefreedictionary.com\/pissing+into+the+wind\">pissing into the wind<\/a><\/span>. He\u2019s offering reason and reality to groups that believe only in <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theoccidentalobserver.net\/2018\/10\/11\/kombatting-kavanaugh-rape-hysteria-and-the-void-of-vagynocracy\/\">emotion and egomania<\/a><\/span>. The Favoured are never going to abandon their privileges willingly, and the Unfavoured are never going to remove their stigma without a fight. Cobley has already explained why this is so in the earlier chapters of <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><em><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imprint.co.uk\/product\/tribe\/\">The Tribe<\/a><\/em><\/span>. It\u2019s a valuable and acutely argued book that should be very widely read and even more widely discussed. It won\u2019t be, of course<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">, because it\u2019s full of blasphemies against \u201cdiversity\u201d and mass immigration.
