The Future World WILL BE Multi-racial, whether you like it or not. No one with a modicum of decency or common sense will ever buy this vile racist propaganda of yours! I lived in many multi-racial lands, and found the overwhelming majority of the people there to be vastly more friendly, more peaceful and more welcoming than any of my supposed “White Brothers and Sisters”!… FACT!!! You dream of a “White Racial Paradise”??!… Probably just like the “Nazi Paradise” depicted in the TV series: “The Man in the High Castle”, right?? I’d rather kill myself rather than having to endure a living death in such a monstrous, nihilistic dystopian world of zombies!…
I can’t tell if this is a parody. But that’s not my problem.
Of course, for people like you, friendship between children of different races is “dangerous” and “evil”, right??! Do you really believe that American Citizens, and White Europeans in general, will ever accept to let themselves being brutally stripped from all their hard-earned Freedoms of association, expression and opinion overnight, by some kind of “White Nationalist Gestapo”??! Well, you’re certainly in for a very bad surprise indeed!… LOL!!…
It is you and your type that is “in for a very bad surprise”.
Yes. White Nationalists do believe that many/most Whites will enjoy going back to natural societies/cultures, ones which are all White. Whites stood still and silent, largely they did, when some tiny numerical percentage of the American population (jews) stripped Whites in America of their freedom of association and misnomered this “civil rights”, and used rogue/renegade court decisions and not majority votes of legislatures to impose racial desegregation on Whites in America. And then criminalization of their speech with speech codes in many different venues. And now suppressing their expression, like physical attacks such as Charlottesville 2017 and the ongoing deplatforming of C-Cs internet payment options and the purging of social media of White advocacy.
You have a warped vision of what has happened and is happening in America.
The problem is: You do not merely want to have “White-only Societies”!… The overwhelming majority of your ideological “Masters” openly preach and promote GENOCIDE against all non-white peoples of the Earth: this is very clear from ALL the books, writings, articles and videos made by all of the “leaders” of your “White Nationalist” movement!… The writings of Georges Lincoln Rockwell, “Savitri Devi”, William Pierce, Ben Klassen, and the likes, are openly expantionist and GENOCIDAL in their final objectives. Just like those of your beloved Adolf HITLER, Heinrich HIMMLER…and the likes. HIMMLER and the SS had concocted plans for physically, demographically and culturally EXTERMINATING the large majority of all the Russian, Ukrainian and Polish Peoples: (see: “Generalplan Ost” and “Hungerplan”). That would have meant HUNDREDS of MILLIONS casualties!!… A genocide of inimaginable proportions, which would have dwarfed the Jewish Holocaust into almost insignificance….. The Thermonuclear Hydrogen Bomb would have been the ideal weapon of genocide for the Nazis: they would not have hesitated one second of massively using it, against BILLIONS of so-called “inferior peoples”, in order to make the World “safe” for the “Germanic-Nordic Master Race”(which did not include, of course, the large majority of all other White Europeans!…)!… You very obviously STILL harbor the very same genocidal intentions as your Fascist/Nazi precursors did… But no one is fooled anymore about your real intentions for the Future. We beat you before…and we will beat you tomorrow!… Sorry!
If you are the typical counter-argument we have to face, then I see why they have strike us off YouTube. If any white person reads your ranting they are immediately well on their way to joining our side.
We have already been stripped of our freedom of association If I want to associate mostly with other whites, in an overwhelmingly white neighborhood, I’m not allowed to have that. The government will diversify my town with Somalis, Guatemalans, and Nigerians and I’m not allowed to object to that. If I have a business and don’t hire enough non-whites I will be sued. Thanks to people like you and *your* masters, my freedom of association is as dead as the 10th Amendment.
“GENOCIDE” — come on, now. You have to know that that word is gauche. It’s not politically-correct. On the far right, they use the phrase “peaceful ethnic cleansing.”
The Stanger
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk–
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.
The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy or sell.
The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control–
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.
The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.
This was my father’s belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf–
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.
– Rudyard Kipling
Wonderful poem.
“We find modernity degenerate. We all went to the mall together and have the same tastes in music and movies! We drink beer and get nostalgic about our childhood! The 1990s were a utopia of white homogeneity!”
Such an absurdly stupid contradiction. All the things you’ve listed are firmly products of modernity. Second, everything listed is accidental — the fact that you and your friends like this or that band or movie, like weightlifting, drink coffee or beer, or whatever other interest — and has nothing to do with being white, black, etc., nor is it a reason for founding a state. All fondness of behavior, skill, smell etc. is a matter of taste. Black people can get nostalgic about their childhood or like the same bands you do. To give oneself up to the taste of beer simply presupposes two things: that the person knows about the drink and that she is interested in it or wants to find out whether she likes the experience on her tongue. But her decision to get involved in that particular activity is a matter of will. The result of one’s decision is not predetermined by one’s nationality, so the nationality cannot be the reason for neither cultural highlights nor cultural horrors.
Of course, the author of this video hasn’t asserted that all members of a nation share all of the qualities. It would merely be a tendency: people in the UK on average or by numbers speak English, drink beer, are polite and critical of the war in Iraq. More globally speaking: surely there are certain regions where the sitar is played regularly, whereas is it completely unknown elsewhere. However, the claim that this statistical difference would be a reason and foundation for a nation is still wrong. For any example in the field of language, culture, custom etc. there will be members of one nation who will have more in common with members of other nations. And one member of a nation that has culturally nothing at all in common with another member of that same nation, at least not on the basis of the discussed definition. The only objective difference is the higher likelihood that someone from a particular region is exposed to a particular custom, dish etc. while people from far away might be ignorant towards it – a situation which can be redeemed easily on a personal level, e.g. by reading a book. Finally, even if there was a particular region with a particular custom not practiced anywhere else that still is no reason for a nation-state. The adherents could simply found a club, team or whatever suits them best.
A last point, it’s absurd to claim that racial homogeneity would somehow stop violence or conflicts– it’s rather a utopian assumption of the racial nationalist ideology, and it doesn’t at all explain what the conflicts people have is about. Does a white man beat his white wife because the neighbors are black? Does a white landlord want to charge his white tenets more money for less space and do they want the opposite because Mexicans live down the street? Does a white CEO make 60 times his white workers because the CEO is competing against a Japanese or German CEO? One has to notice that there is an egalitarian ideal that underlies the ethnic view: it treats all white people as being equal or the same, when in fact they aren’t. Don’t white rednecks want to kill white punks? Do the white 4h kids hang out with the white jocks? Do the white jocks treat the poor incel white who lives in a trailer park well just because he is white? Or is it rather not the case that the idea that violence and conflict arise out of racial admixture is missing the really fundamental reason for conflict?
I live in Los Angeles, which has probably more diversity than anywhere on the planet, so listen up. Though we haven’t yet had the extremes of the African boat people arriving in rickety wooden fishing skiff, nor myriads of muffled Moslems gracing our street, wrapped up in funeral black crepe like creatures from some dark corner mean to frighten children (and be serious — they are frightening!), we nevertheless have Little Italy, Little Tokyo, Little Korea, Little Armenia, Little Saigon, Chinatown of course, and a Byzantine/Central American amalgam near the old Greek Cathedral. Then, there is the vast South Central L.A., which is a no-go zone for miles, best named (but not out loud), Little Tijuana meets Little Mogadishu, where Mexicans and other Hispanics are pushing even Blacks out of town. Even Watts and cool Compton are no longer even half Black. But who cares.
Myself, after moving from Montebello (now 75% Hispanic with a sprinkling of Armenians and Whites), into once nearly all-white Whittier, built in the 1800’s by Quaker settlers, where I was then forced out when a Mexican Real Estate Cartel, which buys up buildings and surrreptiousily moves in their own people, doubled my rent . Moving even further into the San Gabriel Valley, I landed in Hacienda Heights. This is a neat divide of rich Asians on the hilltops which were once avocado groves, with a Hispanic other-half on the flatlands below It is an unincorporated pastiche, because how could you have a City Council composed of these two disparate peoples. The nearby Buddhist temple does everything possible to welcome the strangers there in a community spirit, but I doubt the Asians are really buying it. I am here by the grace of the diversity gods, because a white friend of mine was divorced from her Japanese husband and kept the family home and a rental here, both on the hilltops. I can barely afford the rent with two roommates. I do not know anyone on this street but I do nod and wave and smile to my neighbors, who do not speak English, because as a white woman, I was brought up to be well-mannered and gracious.
But I have exactly 3 friends left in all of Los Angeles and we are all 10 miles apart. This is DIVERSITY in action, my friends, who are criticizing the aims of White Nationalism, and my plight — though certainly liv able and quite charming — is not what I had planned for my retirement. I have come to White Nationalism recently, within a year, because even Trump can’t say out loud what needs to be said to stop — in its tracks — the continuing invasion and disruption of our lives that I could see clearly happening before I ever heard of any ‘nationalism!
I can only hope and pray there are a lot of people like me, simmering and seething under the surface, looking for people who think like them, and who are furious at being called racists by young people swamped by some unseen hand into embracing Socialism in this country.
“Myself, after moving from Montebello (now 75% Hispanic with a sprinkling of Armenians and Whites), into once nearly all-white Whittier, built in the 1800’s by Quaker settlers, where I was then forced out when a Mexican Real Estate Cartel, which buys up buildings and surrreptiousily moves in their own people, doubled my rent .”
I would pose the same question to you that I pose to Social Justice Warriors who yell about systematic racism, and who claim that blacks are discriminated against by white landlords. However, in your case, I’m going to switch the actors involved because your argument just flips the valences, and doesn’t challenge the bad logic:
Does a Mexican landlord that doesn’t give living space to white people have his power to discriminate by the mere virtue of being Mexican? Or is it rather the forcefully sanctioned system of private property that allows him to discriminate? Where does their power come from?From his skin color/ethnic origin, or because of a right to dispose over his property as he sees fit?
“I do not know anyone on this street but I do nod and wave and smile to my neighbors, who do not speak English, because as a white woman, I was brought up to be well-mannered and gracious.”
It’s certainly not only white people who are brought up to be moral, respectable, well-mannered, gracious — whatever positive attribute you want to ascribe to your nature. All races pride themselves on being moral creatures. When taking a look at morality objectively, one really has to notice that there’s hardly a person in this world who doesn’t claim to have The Good on his side. In fact, this is something fundamental about the psychology of the bourgeois individual. Under conditions where all compete against all, morality becomes a weapon. It’s advertised. So, it’s no wonder that people pat themselves on the back for being so kind as to nod at the neighbor (it really must be a heavy struggle given that one thinks they’re despicable sub-humans invading one’s home, right?) Every moralist is always convinced that they are the true upholders of the True, Good and Beautiful, and everyone else is a faker. So, put polemically racism consists in attributing the results of competition to the winners and losers themselves, instead of seeing how these attributes are forced on those the state compels to compete against each other. If you’d like the form of the message to be put in a softer, politically-correct version, than swap out the word “racism” with “racially aware” or “race realism”.
Anyway, it simply can’t be that the reason for these positive features (saying hello, smiling, being warm, blah blah) is your race. Why? Because there are countless examples of white people to the contrary. So, of course, one can say, “oh, these whites are just brainwashed by other races.” This is a naive conspiracy theory that just mirrors the equally stupid leftist manipulation thesis: “They’re not revolutionary because they’re brainwashed!”
Whether or not you have friends, or people wave and smile at you– none of this has anything to do with racial composition. And, if it is true that your “way of life” is so disrupted and ruined by these “invaders”, then why the hell do you smile and nod? That’s just rank hypocrisy. And what is your “Way of life” anyway?
Anyway, what can be said about that? This concept of “our way of life”? Patriots view being for the nation as so self-evident that they never hit on the idea of asking why they are for it. Yet: what is the “collective” that nationalists sympathize with? It is the state – and this, viewed with a little detachment and objectivity, is the very opposite of their idea of a common bond:
“Me & my country” – objectively, the relation is the other way around: the country has its nationals. One belongs to the state quite passively, by birth, and that is by an act of the sovereign. That a national citizen is nothing but an object of a forced categorization becomes palpable when, e.g., a group wants to seperate from a country and create their own state: the state fights separatism with war. On the other hand, the fact that it is not the the individual who decides who belongs to the national collective, but only the sovereign, is experienced daily by immigrants and refugees.
“Our way of life”? The state organizes a comprehensive system with its laws – one that is by no means harmless; certainly not one that is also in the hands of working people: competition for money and property is the comprehensive social principle, and the state continuously re-organizes and judges its monopoly on violence for this. It is not a free cooperative.
“We are who we are”? A modern state in its cause and social substance is not an autochthonous, individual thing: nearly every state guarantees capitalist property as its systemic principle, prescribes the growth of money, and one state after another competes on the world market over this unchanging measure of success. (Currently, they even all have almost the same crisis.) So there is nothing original or exceptional about the patriotic feelings of any country.
You say that Trump can’t say out loud what really needs to be said — this betrays a dissatisfied idealism about the aims the politicians pursue. Even if patriotic citizens believe they are the beneficiaries and the upholders of the nation’s unity – it is not true: who belongs to the nation and who does not is dictated to patriots by the state; their lives are forced into a legal and economic system established by the political rule; and they are even told how to think about this as good patriots: by the politicians who have the extraordinary profession of “making the country great” and are in charge of their fellow citizens – all those whose interests in this respect are instead “special.”
