If it’s one thing the HBD set loathes more than “NAMs”, its “SWPLs” (yet another dead giveaway that the bulk and mass of these dudes are STEM Nerds? They use lots of arcane acronym-laced language), a kind of shorthand for “Stuff White People Like”. That, in turn, was/is the title of first the popular satirical blog and followup book by Christian Lander, both of which lampoon young White Liberals as effete, hypocritical, self-righteous posers. If you haven’t checked out the book or the blog by now, you owe it to yourself to do so, they’re a hoot. And they give tremendous insight into the White Psyche, both on the SWPL and HBD ends of the spectrum.

As something of an “alien observer” in this corner of the Internet, that odd nexus of HBD & Game, and as one who has always been interested in how people think and why they act in the ways they do, the internecine squabbles and jockeying for social status position that is the never ending story between and among White folks holds an intense fascination to me. Over the past few years in particular, not a week will go by where at least one of the better known HBD bloggers-Steve Sailer, Half Sigma, OneSTDV, Roissy, etc, et al, will take time out of their busy lives just to take yet another dig at their sworn enemies, the SWPLs of the world. Oddly, I am not aware of any such sites by said class of White folks where they return the favor in kind. If any of you reading this out there are aware of such a site or blog, please let us know in the comments? Thanks!

Anyway, what I find fascinating about the HBDers’ jihad against SWPLdom, is the fact that while they vilify said class for being hypocrites, such as being gung-ho for Black folks yet carefully steer their kids from attending Black schools, the HBDers aren’t much better. For all intents and purposes, these guys ARE SWPLs themselves-they haven’t worked a hard day in their lives, have attended, if not Ivies, at the least decent Big State Unis, work in cubicles pushing pencils, wouldn’t be caught dead in a Micky D’s drive thru, and have many of the other trappings of the pampered SWPL set. Ah, but the difference, you see Obsidian, is that the HBDers are keeping it real-by telling the truth about life, the way the world works, and all the “pretty lies” that SWPLs trade in.

Gotcha.

Well, to quote Jigga, I don’t believe these jokers for one minute, they need more people. First of all, if these dudes were truly about “truth, justice and the American way” why do they hide behind screen names, or worse, post their drive by posts on SWPLs with the ubiquitous “Anonymous”? I mean, if you really ’bout it/’bout it, why hide who you are? The truth is on your side, right? Then you have nothing to fear.

Second, if all that SWPLs stand for makes you retch, why you still a desk jockey? Oh, wait, that’s right, you also loathe “Proles”, too. Can’t be caught dead doing their kind of work either. Yea, that’s the ticket.

Well, at the very least you could give up a few of those SWPL-associated pleasures and delights, you know, chuck the Whole Foods thing, go grab up some dollar menu burgers at Mickey D’s a few times a week, be really down with the people!

*crickets chirping*

You know, maybe its my Blue Collar roots, maybe its a result of my “NAM” hardwiring, I don’t know, but where I come from, if you got beef with someone, you don’t go rant and rave incessantly about them from behind the comfort of a computer screen, YOU GO SEE THEM. If I felt as strongly about someone or a group as much as these guys do about SWPLs, I wouldn’t hesitate to put them on blast and let them know exactly where it came from and who said it-moreover, I would jump at the chance to tell those cats about themselves in the real the first chance I got.

But, you see, another major feature of being White, Anglo (or Jewish), and at least nominaly Middle Class, is being oblique. Inferred. Implied. Nothing is ever directly confronted, in part because you don’t want to piss off anyone who might be in a position to make you or break you. That’s why such White folk are so neurotic all the time, because they use up prodigious amounts of brain power trying to decipher the hidden meaning behind every gesture and comment a fellow traveler makes in the course of a day. In the hood, people pretty much say what they mean and mean what they say. You always know where you stand, friend or foe alike.

So, for all those who hate on SWPLs, I say simply this: step up front and confront these folks:

Or please give it a rest, and shut the fuck up?

Now adjourn your wannabe tough, fake the funk asses…
