Bre Faucheux interviews Greg Johnson about his intellectual journey as well as such topics as multiculturalism, White Nationalism, globalization, protectionism, Central and Eastern Europe, the bourgeois mind, why White Nationalism is growing, sometimes in spite of our movement, what winning looks like for White Nationalism, and reasons for long-term optimism about white survival.
I think it’s a slight mischaracterization to describe Eastern European nations as peasant societies. In Hungary, and I believe in Poland too, in the last two hundred years the defining social class has been the minor nobility. They defined the manners, the values, the tastes and lifestyle for the entire society. Today they form the backbone of the anti-liberal political class. The leaders may be of peasant origin, but they assimilated to the minor nobility.* So did the Germans, and to some extent even the Jews.
Speaking of the Jews, about 200,000 survived WWII in Budapest and are still dominant in Hungarian academia, arts, media and finance. The German middle class hasn’t disappeared either, the ones deported after WWII were the peasants (Volksdeutsche). The ethnic German middle class of Budapest and the larger cities was Hungarianized by the end of the 19th century.
* Actually there’s a quite a lot of discontent in Orbán’s camp these days, because with old age he is returning to his peasant ways – or rather, an atrophied version of what used to be the peasant way. This is painfully visible in his disintegrated physical appearance. Obesity of educated whites is almost always an identity problem.
