Christopher Donovan on Swarthmore

Christopher Donovan’s current TOO article “A Window on the Warping of Whites:  The Swarthmore College Alumni Magazine” is yet another example of the anti-White hostility that is rampant in American universities. Coming on the heels of Trudie Pert’s exposé of German Studies at the University of Minnesota in TOO and a New York Times article on the institutionalization of the left at American universities, it shows the unrelenting messages of multiculturalism, White altruism toward non-Whites, and the legitimacy of non-White ethnocentrism. Besides earnest Whites helping Blacks and Ecuadorian Indians, Whites are presumably also altruistic simply by paying tuition. The article shows that one year tuition at Swarthmore is  $49,600 (!). 55% receive financial aid averaging $35,450. The proportion of incoming students not receiving financial aid is pretty much exactly the percentage of White students. Here’s the featured photo of the class of 2013. I doubt they’ll be paying their way.

Swarthmore is proud of its Quaker heritage. The president of Swarthmore, Rebecca Chopp, told the first-year students about one of Swarthmore’s founders:

She was 4 feet, 11 inches tall and weighed not quite 90 pounds. Over the course of her lifetime (1793–1880), Lucretia Mott would not only help found Swarthmore College but also shelter runaway slaves in her home, co-found with her husband the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, advocate for peace rather than war, and sign the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiment at the first women’s rights convention, which she and Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized in 1848.

Quakerism is part of the indigenous culture of critique so important during the 19th century and seamlessly joining the current culture of political correctness now. As I noted in my review of Eric Kaufmann,

An important node this network [of leftists who worked to undermine the cultural and ethnic homogeneity of the US] was the Settlement House movement of the late 19th century–early 20thcentury. The settlements were an Anglo-Saxon undertaking that exhibited a noblesse oblige still apparent in some White leftist circles today. They were “residences occupied by upper-middle-class ‘workers’ whose profile was that of an idealistic Anglo-Saxon, university-educated young suburbanite (male or female) in his or her mid-twenties” (p. 96). The movement explicitly rejected the idea that immigrants ought to give up their culture and assimilate to America: “To put the immigrants (as individuals) on an equal symbolic footing with the natives, a concept of the nation was required that would not violate the human dignity of the immigrants by denigrating their culture” (p. 97). Cultural pluralism was encouraged: “The nation would be implored to shed its Anglo-Saxon ethnic core and develop a culture of cosmopolitan humanism, a harbinger of impending global solidarity” (pp. 97–98).

The leader of the Settlement House movement, Jane Addams, advocated that America shed all allegiance to an Anglo-Saxon identity. Addams came from a liberal Quaker background — another liberal strand of American Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture, like the Puritans stemming from a distinctive British sub-culture. In general, the Quakers have been less influential than the Puritans, but their attitudes have been even more consistently liberal than the Puritan-descended intellectuals who became a dominant intellectual liberal elite in the 19th century. For example, John Woolman, the “Quintessential Quaker,” was an 18th-century figure who opposed slavery, lived humbly, and, most tellingly for the concept of ethnic defense, felt guilty about preferring his own children to children on the other side of the world.

We who are dismayed at the impending self-destruction of our culture and people have to look in the mirror and attempt to understand this strand of ethnic self-abnegation characteristic of so many Whites.

    Mr. Donovan:

    Thanks for your article on Swarthmore. The situation is bad and appears to be getting worse by the day. We are in a planet-wide race war; my biggest hope is that the lemmings eventually see this and don’t try to think it away by fantasizing about election victories. You just don’t solve the kind of problems we face with elections.

    It’s going to be a cruel and bloody war in the Whitelands.

    I think that the point is there clearly being explicit in regards to being and supporting of “people of color”, etc. The young whites are unaware in and are following the false chart forgers directing these young impressive minds not to the lighthouse of intellect but to the rocky beaches of self destruction.

    That Mark Hanis fellow is a great example of chutzpah, or what the rest of the world calls “rank hypocrisy.” Fighting against genocide except for when your own people do it?

    In the fawning coverage of the newly orthodox Jew, was there any denunciation of the rabid, hateful homophobia of orthodox Judaism? No?

    Why are these colleges not sued more often? Hostile religious environment, anti-white discrimination, etc.

    Please notice the reaction of these same liberal multi-culturalist academics when students fight for Palestinian rights. They ran a Jewish Jihad against the Arab and Muslim students and professors, tried to deny tenure to some, issued “alerts” about “anti-Semitism” among pro-Palestinian students, etc. Berkeley seems to be a hotbed of this controversy right now.

    What a tragicomic article by Donovan. I couldn’t help chuckling as I read about the Swarthmore alumni, and the ridiculous happenings at that campus, and how this self-destructive nonsense is promoted, molly coddled and declared to be “normal”! Swarthmore is symptomatic, and no doubt an abscess in microcosm, of the White/national breakdown that has been going on for many decades, if not centuries, in the English speaking world. With friends like this, does Anglo America need enemies, perceived or real?

    Quakers, eh? Ho hum.

    Since America was FOUNDED by enemies of the White race, why are people surprised that its “elite” is anti-White?

    Since Quakerism is an attempt to approximate “primitive Christianity,” why is anyone surprised that it is anti-White?

    “Christianity is at the root of the evil that has corrupted the West. This is the truth, and it does not admit uncertainty.

    “In its frenetic subversion of every hierarchy, in its exaltation of the weak, the disinherited, those without lineage and without tradition; in its call to “love”, to “believe”, and to yield; in its rancor toward everything that is force, self-sufficiency, knowledge, and aristocracy; in its intolerant and proselytising fanaticism, Christianity poisoned the greatness of the Roman Empire. Enemy of itself and of the world, this dark and barbarous wave remains the principal cause of the West’s decline.”

    –Julius Evola: Imperialismo pagano, Atanor, Todi-Roma 1928

    “It can be expected that progress in psychology will give governments more control over personal emotions than they now have. Education should strive to destroy free will, so that when students have left school, they will for the rest of their lives be unable to think or act in a manner different from what their teachers would have wished. . . Even if all feel miserable, they will believe that they are happy because the government will tell them that they are.”
    –Bertrand Russell in “Impact of Science on Society”, 1952

    This just goes to show that no matter how dark the storm cloud, there is always a silver lining. If whites are being kept out of places like Swarthmore, at least they aren’t being swindled out of fifty thousand dollars a year, paying through the nose for the dubious privilege of being brainwashed. Dissolving the bonds of race, class, and culture is a project crucial to the expansion of the global technological system, and the best evidence of this is that all of these places are alike nowadays — every last one! The overbearing, regimented sameness of these institutions testifies to the importance the system is placing on training up its cadres, a raceless, genderless army of flesh-and-blood robots without loyalty to anything but itself; who have each had their individuality cauterized away, and who will endorse any tyranny or genocide so long as they are told it advances “social justice” or “human rights”. So to the extent intelligent whites are being kept out, they are also being kept out of the system’s clutches, and they won’t be helping that expansion along. They will not become part of the system’s nomenklatura, and that’s a good thing.

    But what will they do? What can they? Those with an aptitude for science among them who wish to overthrow the system that spits in their white faces with such contempt could apply their energies to the study of genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and AI/robotics, for it is in these areas that the key to destroying the system’s tyranny will likely be found. The Jews’ power over whites will vanish completely and forever once this system goes down for good.

    Dissolving the bonds of race, class, and culture is not about the expansion of the global technological system. Dissolving Western Culture, the West, and Whites is the goal of power mad, hypocritically racist zionists who see Whites as the only group capable of stopping their perverted dreams of world rule. Any sameness you see in certain institutions is due to this group of power hungry madmen controlling them, using them to advance their genocidal agenda.

    The system currently in place is going to go down. It’s going to collapse in a heap. But a fairly large percentage of Whites will have to be made uncomfortable first. The folks in DC are moving things in that direction with every move they make.

    I can certainly understand Julius Evola being upset with Christianity as it is today but to claim that it is a bit over the top to say that Christianity “is at the root of the evil that has corrupted the West.” While the vikings were out raping the women of the West and selling the survivors to the Arabs from their slave centers in Dublin and Paris the Christians stopped the Arab invasion of Europe in the East and in the South. The Talmud has certainly replaced the Holy Bible in today’s churches but that just shows the modern Christian to be a fool rather than the root of the evil. Harold Covington has the right idea in that we should be working together rather than attacking each other; at least until the West is secure again – eh?

    The elite Puritan /Quaker descendants who were the white indigenous culture of critique surely needed to exercise a certain degree of effortful control to overcome ethnocentrism. However I get the impression that those of high SES often possess weaker feelings; they are not as violent, sexual or ethnocentric as the average person to begin with.

    I agree with Alexander Wolfe-Murray. To state Christianity is the actual root of the evil destroying the West is completely disingenuous. It is true that the Usual Suspects have been able to use Christianity as a tool. That can’t be denied. Adam is correct in stating that whites being kept out of some of the bolshevik brainwashing camps is saving them money, but these whites are still being bombarded with propaganda via the MSM, and most have been fed the same garbage K – 12 by wide-eyed, true believer teachers. The bigger problem is whites being kept out of schools that feed the seats of power in the US, and keeping them out of schools that have the necessary infrastructure to teach and challenge the most capable in the sciences, etc. As a group we are being completely marginalized while the abilities, capabilities, accomplishments, “suffering” and otherwise of jews and other non-whites is exaggerated beyond all proportion.

    I’ve always been convinced that besides the low IQ dark folks the jews make sure pour into the US legally and illegally, that Asians are let in not only because they are non-whites, but also to use as the compliant workers that will keep the technological infrastructure going as the blacks and latinos are wholly incapable. For the sizes of their populations, the numbers of study drones that grind through school, Asians make few breakthroughs or advancements. As Michael Crichton stated, they play “little ball”. Which of course is fine with the tribe. Working in a technical area I can state this is true, as I work and deal with many Asians. It’s apparent that very few have highly developed lateral thinking skills. To be able to learn and comprehend is not the same as being able to create, invent or possess certain forms of insight.

    Whites need to see that everything has been turned against them. The jews sit around and consciously plan and work a lot of this out, no doubt about it. They work as a group amongst an atomized, unaware population. That’s the key. But if you step back, it’s a House of Cards surrounded by smoke and mirrors. One thing goes wrong, one politician speaks out at the right moment, a critical mass of whites becomes very uncomfortable economically, any of these on their own or together with other situations not mentioned, will start a chain reaction of destruction to the “system” the tribe has erected. And that doesn’t mean they’ll run for it. They’ll pull their masks off and the fangs will come out. So will ours. Some of their fangs are showing already, such is their arrogance.

    Raise your children to believe that whites are the outsiders. Because we are. This will help inculcate more of an awareness in them of whites as a distinct racial group. The jews do this, in fact some of them have admitted as much to me, but always couching it as a way to fight anti-semitism of course. No. Seeing yourself as the outsider keeps you more loyal to your group, keeps you networked. Keeps the “other” OUT. Being raised to always look at the angles, to see how to get something from any situation increases this feeling and behavior, and no doubt helps (I believe) in certain areas of academics while growing up. You will think more, consider more possibilities when working on a problem. It’s time for whites to start considering all the angles.

    Maybe it’s not on “Planet White”, but here on Earth, the single greatest force both for cultural change and racial destruction has been technological “progress”. But for “progress”, there would be very few non-whites among us. Without “progress” in scientific birth control technology, there would be no feminism, and the white birth rate would not be below replacement level. In truth, without the “progress” that has been made in communications technology, your “Zionist” bogeyman would have no power at all.

    What we need to ask the quaker/puritan christian is where are the real fruits of your laobour? and are they aware of the cost to there own.
    The fact there is not a single self sufficient nation of non white quaker/puritans is evidence enough there still enegaged in an terrible religious hyper-emotional experiment at our cost.

    Adam’s post to Met is probably the most hilariously disingenuous heap of nonsense yet on this young site. Lots of ways to be an apologist one would guess.

    The forces of technology drive the sociological upheaval? You mean the problems we see now, many of which are larger scale manifestations of past problems caused by Jewish activity through the centuries wouldn’t exist but for the latest technology? Newspapers and radio had no effect in the days of WWII? Jewish control of the Fed, banking, and the like weren’t enough to get the “Russian Revolution” going? Lets take a look at the situations in each of the numerous countries that have had to expel the Jews over the centuries. The Jews exploit what is presented. They aren’t driving technology, at least in most areas. They can take advantage, just like anyone else.

    Low birthrates? Look at the culture and the need for large families or not. Non-whites? The Jewish inspired income tax could steal our money, pocket most of tit, then they’d buy some rice and send it to the third world in rowboats and you’d still see ridiculous increases in population numbers. It isn’t so much the technology, it’s hypocrites sending them food and money claiming charity to hide their ulterior motives. No charity, no huge populations in the third world. The bolsheviks moved millions of people of different ethnic groups all around the USSR to create infighting among different populations. To keep things unstable, manageable chaos so no one would pay too much attention to the people in charge. They did this with trains, carts, forced marches. Technology might make some things easier, but it isn’t driving things, not in the way Adam believes or tries to make others believe.

    In case Adam hasn’t noticed, Jews work very hard to retard technological advancement in any area they can.

    Wait, it’s all a misunderstanding. There’s no Zionist bogeymen. They’re merely riding the wave of Technology and its unintended consequences.

    Probably as many ways as there are for you to avoid addressing my arguments.

    The forces of technology drive the sociological upheaval? You mean the problems we see now, many of which are larger scale manifestations of past problems caused by Jewish activity through the centuries wouldn’t exist but for the latest technology?

    Note here the clumsy attempt at sleight of hand. Instead of technology,
    he has recast my argument only as an indictment of “the
    latest technology”. Nice strawman.

    Newspapers and radio had no effect in the days of WWII? Jewish control of the Fed, banking, and the like weren’t enough to get the “Russian Revolution” going? Lets take a look at the situations in each of the numerous countries that have had to expel the Jews over the centuries. The Jews exploit what is presented. They aren’t driving technology, at least in most areas. They can take advantage, just like anyone else.

    And if there were no banks, newspapers, or radio for them to take advantage of, what then? For these are all a part of the technological system.

    Low birthrates? Look at the culture and the need for large families or not. Non-whites? The Jewish inspired income tax could steal our money, pocket most of tit, then they’d buy some rice and send it to the third world in rowboats and you’d still see ridiculous increases in population numbers.

    Were you drunk when you wrote the above? ‘Cuz it doesn’t make a lick of sense.

    All of your drunken palaver can’t cover up the fact that if it were not for the technological innovation of scientific birth control, the white birth rate would not be falling, and would be above replacement level.

    Nor can it cover up the fact that if mass transportation techniques had not been used to bring non-whites into white lands, all of the problems connected with immigration would not exist.

    Nor can it cover up the fact that without modern communications techniques the “Zionists” you pretend to worry about would have no power over you.

    In case Adam hasn’t noticed, Jews work very hard to retard technological advancement in any area they can.

    Wait, it’s all a misunderstanding. There’s no Zionist bogeymen. They’re merely riding the wave of Technology and its unintended consequences.

    In reply, I’ll quote my drunken friend, who agrees 100%:

    Adam calls people names when he can’t really counter them. How semitic of him. He should relax.

    It is a fact that the jews did move lots of people around the vast USSR before modern transportation methods. This was millions and millions of people just as JB stated. Today, the mexicans – who are 90% of the non-whites pouring in through legal and illegal immigration policies crafted in jewish circles – simply WALK into the US. By the millions. But I guess Adam is too busy guzzling the manischewitz to have noticed. Or merely ignoring the truth and hoping no one else notices.

    Jews have controlled government policy for centuries by controlling the banks. Mayer Amschel Rothschild: “Give me control of a nation’s money supply and I care not who makes its laws.” Lots of power before modern communication techniques.

    Financial control leads to other control, makes it simpler. First Adam wants to make it seem as if the people in charge are controlling the “technological system”. Yet when someone says that Jews and other unscrupulous vile people are merely taking advantage of the situation, he claims that’s what he what he was saying, that’s what he meant. Is Adam another semitic interloper hoping to obfuscate the overall situation? He’s reacting like one, because Jews do take things on a very personal level in discussions, internet boards, and the like and they get sidetracked in personal arguments easily.

    Face it. No matter how many theories are dumped here, people will be able to shovel the horse apples provided by Adam and others out of the way and get to the core truth. That core truth is that the US is merely the latest in a long list of nations that have been hijacked by the Jews. It’s becoming more apparent day by day. That’s why the internet screeching from the tribe’s tools will become more frequent and intense as things move along.

    Brian, John, I appreciate you two stepping in to try and further explain things to Adam but it’s probably a lost cause. He comes off as a whiny kid who’s looking for attention and validation for his theories explaining why things are the way they are. If you don’t agree or point out the gaping holes, he resorts to name calling and then tries to show you are wrong by demonstrating how malleable his theory is. That it is so workable says a lot. It reminds me of Jews still holding on to Freud’s ideas, he should have been named Sigmund Fraud, and of the way they battle to show Einstein was right in areas he’s been proven wrong, and how hard they work to cover the rank, criminal plagiarism Einstein engaged in. If Adam is Jewish as some of you claim, it explains a lot. Especially the crucial blindspots he has regarding himself, certain ideas, peoples and principles.
