I recently wrote about the mantra ‘worse is better’, so frequently encountered on certain fringes of the Right. I expressed my view that this mantra is a form of denial, part of a therapeutic fantasy where the collapse of the present ruling order will magically restore White supremacy in traditional White homelands.
I added that the mantra is used to rationalise inaction and sustain hope among those who see themselves as powerless, feel they are losers in the liberal system, and lack the creative energy to do anything about it.
The reason is that ‘worse is better’ only makes sense if the one uttering the mantra is part of a credible movement capable of gaining ascendancy from a system collapse, and is actively involved in precipitating that collapse in order to open the way.
I argued that if we are to benefit from a system collapse, awakened Whites need to be building now for the post-collapse world, otherwise the strongman that emerges from the chaos will likely be leading a hostile faction.
I also argued that political power would be the last stage, and would presuppose the existence of a congenial cultural context that legitimated that power, thus making our struggle today about culture—even if ultimately the aim is racial preservation.
Sadly, the notion of cultural change is for some difficult to accept. They imagine it to be a god-like task so vast as to make it preposterous for anyone to talk about it at all.
Yet this is not so. In fact, one does not have to be too old to have witnessed how Western culture was changed by a determined minority in a matter of decades.
Kevin MacDonald’s The Culture of Critique provides instructive clues for the sceptic as to how and why this was done and how a very few led the effort. Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks provides the Marxists’ reasons and outlines the method.
Theodor Adorno
At Home
But the project, enormous as it is, has, in fact, prosaic beginnings.
It begins at home, with the writer picking up his pen, the painter picking up his brush, and the musician picking up his instrument.
In time there is a growing body of work, which generates synergies by virtue of like-minded writers, artists, and musicians attracting, influencing, and inspiring each other. Networks, schools, and traditions follow.
Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno
Among Friends
The next stage is the forming of associations, clubs, and fora, formal and informal; the organising of institutes, centres, think tanks, and publishing companies; the launching of journals, magazines, newspapers, and websites; and the creation of status systems, such as award bodies, prizes, and professional hierarchies.
Susan Sontag
Again, this may seem easier said than done, because ordinary people tend to imagine that any one of these things requires millions of dollars. They imagine this because typically they are only familiar with the big names that they encounter in their daily lives—the people who enjoy the wealth, power, and legitimacy of establishment institutions, funded by large numbers of people or else by people with large amounts of money, either because they are mainstream or because they comprise part of the ruling order.
Yet, we must not be deceived.
A great many of the above begun, and begin, with a couple (or a group) of friends and colleagues getting together. Funding requirements vary, of course, but many do not require much material outlay to get started, and much can be achieved by trading time or skills in the initial stages. Also, once started, if the work is perceived to have value, the organisation in question will likely attract others, who will bring their talent and resources with them.
Powerful Marxist and Jewish intellectual movements had small beginnings. The Freudian psychoanalysis movement began in Freud’s study, with a monograph by him on aphasic children. Boasian anthropology began while Boas was working with museum collections. The New York intellectuals were but a group of like-minded writers and literary critics, essentially a network of friends and fellow travellers. And so on. The millions, the power, and the influence came later, by dint of actively networking and producing a distinctive body of work, guided by personal preoccupations or a vision. Charismatic leadership played a role, but not always: the New York intellectuals had no Führer.
For those who may deem Jewish intellectual movements inappropriate examples because Jews have key traits peculiar to them and those traits have played a role in the success of Jewish movements, we can find ‘Aryan’ examples in the private sector: personal computing has revolutionised the way we work, relax, and communicate, yet Apple Computers was started by a young guy in a garage and Microsoft by a geek on a college campus.
Herbert Marcuse and fans
Myth and Critique
Changing a culture does not merely involve production and construction of a counter-culture—this is what I outline above and what we can conceive as a mystifying or myth strategy. It also involves destruction and deconstruction—what we can conceive as a strategy of critique.
The aim of critique strategies is to cause the establishment to self-destruct by forcing it to question itself at a fundamental level—that is, not just the legitimacy of its leaders, or of its power, but of its core values and ideals.
This is generally achieved through attacks designed to demystify establishment principles, destabilise its categories, expose its contradictions, increase its costs, and provoke a stressful process of soul-searching, over-reaction, and self-justification.
In other words, it involves a form of guerrilla warfare: hitting the incumbent at its weakest point, and quickly moving to the next target.
Thus the establishment is undermined one issue at the time, on multiple fronts, all the time; it is subjected to a death by a thousand cuts—only many end up being self-inflicted, for self-doubt leads to self-mutilation.
The Institute of Social Research (the Frankfurt School) and feminism followed critique strategies, while Freudian psychoanalysis and the radical Left combined critique with individual myth strategies.
Anti-racist campaigners today follow critique strategies.
Critique strategies are not easy. Figuring out how to discredit an idea that enjoys institutional support and social acceptability is tricky and requires sustained and persistent effort, as well as shrewdness and adaptability. On the other hand, critique strategies deal with a known quantity, whereas myth strategies deal with unknown ones.
Frankfurt School
Enjoying the Struggle
The usual rhetoric from campaigners on the Right involves calls for sacrifice. The culture war is often presented in lurid terms: a thankless and heroic struggle with vague and uncertain rewards, but with concrete and certain hardships, such as loss of career, livelihood, family, social status, and even life.
Is it any wonder then that so few sign up?
The fact is that it does not have to be this way.
In many cases misery, martyrdom, or unusual levels of heroism are not required. Neither is it required that everything that one does creatively have a political purpose. Authors like Ezra Pound, Louis Ferdinand Céline, and Miguel Serrano held clear and uncompromising anti-establishment views, but they did not approach their literary craft as exercises in propaganda: they wrote because they enjoyed it, and they wrote what they wrote because that is what is where their inspiration, their interests, and their inclinations took them. Pound and Céline certainly had troubled lives after the war, but Serrano enjoyed a successful career as a diplomat and a writer.
And while there is no question that heresy does often entail disqualifying oneself from enjoying certain perks, a successful counter-cultural movement eventually emancipates itself from the ruling order by creating its own, parallel status system.
Kevin MacDonald loses no sleep over being left out of the annual Pulitzer Prize nominations: he already received the Jack London Prize, and in any case the folk doling out Pulitzer Prizes nowadays are so contemptible that he would not be seen dead at one of their parties.
Wheel of Fortune
One has to admit that, viewed from this side of the conflict, it often looks as if the ruling order has unlimited power. It has vast resources at its disposal, its minions control access to the power pyramid, and they shape and regulate the flow of information, so they can defame with impunity and keep the vast majority of people ignorant, complacent, and hostile to change. With so much in their favour, it can seem that they will never be defeated except by time, and that the best one can do is wait out, thinking ‘worse is better’.
However, experience has shown that incumbents are much weaker than they appear, because they have too much to defend, too much to lose, and not enough flexibility. Experience has also shown that things can change very quickly once critical mass has been achieved: for decades Soviet communism looked as if it would last forever, but then eventually collapsed in a matter of days and months.
The wheel of fortune periodically turns, and one day it will turn against the egalitarians. Today they are in power, and their opponents in prison; but tomorrow they may well be in prison, and their opponents in power.
Thus it all comes down to whether those who seek the survival of the White race can achieve critical mass as a counter-cultural movement before that time.
As a race Whites around the world are still majorities in their traditional homelands, and they still control immense resources, including exceptional talent and wealth. At this stage, therefore, whether the movement to preserve the race succeeds or fails does not depend entirely on external, uncontrollable, unpredictable factors. Needless to say, however, that a) this may not always be the case, particularly if Whites continue to decline, and b) that those who think they have no power to change anything at all are entirely correct.
It may be that the system we live under will not fall until it has run its course, and that, left to their own devices, those at the top now will find a way to hold on beyond the point of no return for Whites through a policy of managed decline, but this does not mean they cannot be pushed.
Facing the Future as a Minority
before the White Man can regain power, the entire Jewish power structure must totally collapse. The foundation of the Jew’s power over modern society is the lie of egalitarianism. The proportion of racially aware Whites is too infintesimal at this time. After the collapse and the chaos and anarchy that will ensue, the stronger elements of our Race will rise from the ruins and build a new world.
The author writes, “the project, enormous as it is, has, in fact, prosaic beginnings. It begins at home, with the writer picking up his pen, the painter picking up his brush, and the musician picking up his instrument.”
How very true.
“Supremacy” is a provocative, even nasty notion unless a European-descended culture deserves it, a question that must be put to it over and over. We also need to rediscover neighborhoods now, and opt out of a system / culture we cannot abide—but without violently attacking it (real imminent defense is another matter, of course). We also need m/billionaires to prepare the future for the changes. If people see journals, theater and communities of quality they will flock to it over time. There will be no need for any violence whatsoever—which too often is a vile shortcut for the lack of a quality alternative anyway. The Brownshirts and Blackshirts lacked precisely quality culture and morals. Like the Commies they tried to make a cult of personality substitute for these.
The Brownshirts and the Blackshirts may have been low on culture and morals but they were high in testostrone which is sadly lacking in many of today’s White Nationalists.
“It begins at home, with the writer picking up his pen….Critique strategies are not easy. Figuring out how to discredit an idea that enjoys institutional support and social acceptability is tricky and requires sustained and persistent effort, as well as shrewdness and adaptability.”
Amen. We began our efforts 21 years ago with campaigns against slurs, only to discover that the larger number of white advocates couldn’t even understand that every time they answered to “you whites” or “you WASPs” or “you Gentiles,” they were promoting their own destruction and abdicating their own power willingly.
We found out that naming, labeling, defining, and describing are critical to a restoration of a decent sense of self-respect among the diverse white Americans, as well as providing a powerful basis for criticism in the real world against those who seek to do it for us with the lazy consent of most of us.
We discovered that the controlled media never recognizes our diversity and never recognizes our nationality. Thus we deduced that silence about those qualities was critically important to the Other in keeping us down.
Consequently, we have championed the right of the diverse white Americans to name, label, define, and describe themselves, and to demand recognition of our richly textured demographic and our nationality. This has paid off in innumerable ways locally, and served well as ways to push back, which is why we agree with most of the elements in this essay.
But get out there and mix and mingle, run for president of your neighborhood association, serve on boards & commissions, campaign against tax increases, and so on. We have found that the best long term strategy is for activists to spend half their time on their neighborhoods, schools, and associations, and the other half on white advocacy in a white centric way.
@Thomas Mallon: The Brownshirts had a high level of cultural background. One might not consider Spengler a Nazi himself (even though he voted for and supported the Nazis in 1932 himself, and only started to oppose them later in 1933), just as Carl Schmitt was also no Nazi (but at least somewhat nationalist and also he joined the Nazi party in 1933), or Heidegger (although he himself joined the Nazi party in 1933), or Karl Haushofer (although he was on friendly terms with Rudolf Hess etc.), and many others, but there was a relatively large pool of respectable intellectuals having views at least somewhat compatible with that of the Nazis.
And the policies of a Merkel or a Clinton or a Rumsfeld or whoever are also only partially compatible with the leftist intellectuals theories.
So I dare say the Brownshirts were not lower on intellectual background than today’s leftist zeitgeist.
I think the Second Amendment/gun rights movement in America fits into the “worse is better” spectrum of political ideologies, though not overtly. They’re a huge force in our culture, mostly white and very attuned to our country’s social decline, but they don’t (or won’t) frame it in a racial or ethnic context. A basement full of AR-15’s seems to give many of them all the confidence they need…for when the “SHTF.”
“As long as I’ve got my guns, I’m okay” – It’s an understandable sentiment, but it’s a delusion. As a gun owner many times over, I feel very indebted to this group, but I’m saddened that they (I should say “we”) couldn’t have taken some of that energy and applied it to a broader effort against the left so that we wouldn’t have had to seek so much security through our guns in the first place.
Anyway, excellent article, with many concrete strategies.
I’ve noted that it’s gotten really difficult to find any kind of book not written by a jew or race-traitor who invariably takes the opportunity to malign whites. Since many of these are very popular authors, I have to wonder how many whites are buying this garbage over and over from the same poison pens and making them wealthy. Just one more area where we can help ourselves.
Talking about enjoying ourselves, I could recommend taking a look on Amazon at the description of po-faced ardent zionist Deborah Lipstadt’s coming across Culture of Critique at the David Irving trial in London in 2000. It’s in her The Holocaust on Trial. Talk about wailing and gnashing of teeth! There’s nothing like a little Schadenfreude, as they say.
Well according to Gramsci one must imitate the values and norms of the group targeted for inculcation in order to gain trust and ready them for “change.” Since our primary adversary is the ignorance of our own people, I would argue that White identity must be sewn into the fabric of Judeo-Christianity or risk alienating the majority of our tribe. Tricky task indeed but its just too big of a group to risk alienating via strong armed rhetoric against the Christian religion.
This was a great introductory article and I’m looking forward to subsequant topics such as:
1. What are our immediate goals and how do we reach them?
2. How to utilize passive resistance in the securement of reachable goals. For instance….
a. Tactics utilized to reach these goals should be enjoyable. If we aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.
b. You do what you can with what you have and clothe your tactics with moral arguments.
c. Never go outside the experience of your people.(hence work with Christians, don’t try to destroy their faith.)
-The list goes on and on but we have a host of examples showcasing successful strategies of passive resistance in America. It can be done.
Psychoanalysis, and Cultural Marxism, did not achieve their success because of dedicated revolutionaries. They achieved their success because of the times, which were revolutionary.
We are entering counter-revolutionary times. The failures of Liberalism are mounting, in all its aspects: race equality, social-democratic fiscal crusading that goes nowhere and its attendant tax-revolt of Whites refusing any more utopian spending schemes, wars that produce no results (20 years of war for Israel with nothing to show for it except the bill of several trillion dollars, liberal economics which is hitting the wall of shrinking paychecks, unemployment, and job loss to offshore wherevers.
Thus, we, like the revolutionaries of the 20s and 30s and forward, have been given an Opening into the Clearing. This Clearing is the beginning of the clearing away of all the lib-rad junk thinking of the last couple hundred years.
Collectively, Whites have tried out their genetically based Excessive Trust/Generosity, and are finding out that it is not working when extended to Blacks, Browns, and (lastly, to be sure, Jews.
Whites of course are not one monolithic bloc. It is mostly elites who have gotten all these bright Ideas of Equality, while ordinary folks have just kind of gone along with it, sort of. Think the American South, which grudgingly went along finally with Civil Rights after the 60s conflicts.
The LIberal Era is in deep trouble. Financial Capitalism is, as I enjoy stating, cannibalizing the real economy. We could profitably consider the critiques by Marxists of Finance Capitalism and Capitalism itself, especially International Capitalism (also called Globalism).
Nationalism is rising in Europe for all of the above reasons.
So, the First Thing is to realize what kind of new world we are entering. The Old Order of LIberalism is weakening rapidly. No one to speak of, will go for another quixotic left-wing binge. The only alternative now is nationalism, national capitalism, and, increasingly, race.
The Lib-Rad revolution was largely a revolution of Ideas, bad ideas, but Ideas which suited Whites. Of course, material conditions drove these Ideas in some large part. My parents joined the Communist Party in the 30s because they were broke, unemployed often, yet hopeful because of Ideas.
Today, the lib-rads can offer no Hope. It is just more of the same moribund Ideas and Programs that do not work.
Immigration is providing the “material” basis for Whites to test the race-equality, etc. Thesis. Ordinary folks are much less hobbled by egalitarian ideology. Their racialism or racism can rapidly morph from implicit to explicit. And, that is starting to happen.
Race/Immigration is what is going to trigger the counter-revolution, that, and economic hardship.
So, just as the commies and psychoanalysts only achieved success because of the Times, so we will find our Opening. I suppose that our role will be very limited for the time being. I recall (I think) a line from Uncle Karl: A revolution is like a front door to a house. The door has to be rotten before it can be kicked-in.
The LIberal Rot is everywhere. Personally, I talk to relative strangers frequently about our stuff. 95% of the time they are friendly and interested and will talk about their own experiences which fit our somewhat abstracted views. And I live in a liberal area.
The New Left , taking a cue from Gramsci and Western Marxists, did their long march thru the institutions. We cannot do that for obvious reasons. We may have a short march along with ordinary White folks who have not had their brains fried by bad Ideas, but are Experiencing the everyday realities of multi-racialism, and economic hard-times. What that means practically, is that we need to figure out how to run in elections and win.
Joe
I am part of a small group of whites running a white survivalist group in NZ. 99% of everything seems to work against the white man, I just shake my head and keep trying. We deliver pamplets, go on the radio talkback and sometimes even get on tv. There is little hope or encouragement, but to an extent you get used to it, and any little piece of art or comment I find in our favour brings happiness. This article mentions a ‘growing body of work, which generates synergies’. In my experience, very small things in our favour give us the leverage to operate from. Every little bit counts.
I am not seeing any evidence of a revival in European nationalism. Au contraire, liberalism continues it’s stranglehold on the psyche of the Euopean mindset. Poland is preparing to point more American missiles at Russia – the latter, one of the few examples where nationalism still thrives. I see the situation as hopless. Even the Irish, who know a thing or two about nationalist struggle have thrown in the towel. Max Keiser interviewed a pony-tailed and articulate Dublin “yoof” who admitted that resistance would be ‘messy’. Although he had ‘sort of’ worked out something was wrong, this was no Michael Collins and with the loss of his Catholic identity, the young man was typical of an intelligentsia bereft of ideas.
This fine article expresses most of the ideas I had myself formed about this subject, including the idea of a “guerrilla”.
A military guerrilla is fought in the name of an oppressed people by a dedicated group from that people against a foreign group of oppressors and their local collaborators.Since the oppressors are superior in terms of means and weapons,the war is not fought in great battles but in smal “hit and run” attacks far removed from the centres of power.All these little skirmishes combined exhaust the enemy untill he is finally defeated.Essential is that the occupying force is morally discredited in the eyes of the people: they are not “of us” and not “for us”.
On this model a cultural-political “guerrilla” should be fought.The occupying force is the Jews,their collaborators are the “hostile elite”.Both should be discredited in the eyes of the common people: they are our enemy. Skirmishes should be fought by infiltrating and transforming small institutions first,bigger later;by winning elections in small counties first,states later.
Most successful guerrillas were fought by peoples that were far weaker than their oppressors,it is a way of “asymetric” warfare where weakness is strength and strength is weakness.
Finally some remarks on the photos of this article because they are so highly symbolic.
1) I suppose this is a picture of a fallen statue of Stalin.We are indeed fighting cultural Stalinism.
2) Here our bureau-hero Theodor Adorno,fighting against the “authoritarian personality”(read: normal White men).
3) With a sinister grin on his caricatural face Max Horkheimer shaking hands in a truely conspirational fashion with his co-ethnic Theodor Adorno:the plot to destroy Western civilization!
4) Susan Sontag philosophising about the “cancer of humanity”(that is us).
5) Herbert Marcuse and his fans eagerly holding microphones to hear Their Masters Voice.As far as I can see the crowd consists entirely of Whites (and no Jews).It is a pity that these Jews so very well understand how the mind of Western man works and how to manipulate it to his own detriment.
6) Finally a cosy family portrait of our cultural Elders of Zion: the Frankfurt School, with their “critical theory” planning the destruction of the very society that so naively granted them assylum.
We should mimic their ways by founding similar think tanks,some to deconstruct (all things Jewish and leftish),others to construct (positive values for a regenerated West).
This should be part of our cultural guerrilla.
Excellent article.
Only yesterday I read Edmund Connelly’s review of Harold Covington’s Northwest Quartet, and the associated storm of comments. An interesting contrast in ideas on how to go forward. Mr. Covington’s ideas I’m afraid are not feasible in the real world. Any time in the foreseeable future, an insurrection against the US government would be squashed like a bug by the US military. A likely result would be the killing off of the bravest and most active among us. I don’t mean this as a slight against Mr. Covington. I enjoyed reading the excerpts in the review, as well as others I found online. His writing can serve as hope and inspiration when so many of us who are aware are paralyzed with hopelessness.
However, I believe that this article by Mr. Kurtagic presents a much more feasible route to success. It may not have the grandeur of outright revolution, of violent destruction followed by a dramatic rebirth; but then the Nordic urge towards Ragnarok is probably something that we as a people must always suppress in ourselves.
If we can organize ourselves, and start using ethnic in-group networking effectively, we can over time start to position like minded whites into key positions of power. They can continue the process, lifting up other like minded whites in an ongoing process. Eventually, when enough key positions are held, policies can be changed to our benefit. Targets to place people into will include: government at all levels; bureaucracies; educational institutions at all levels, but most especially universities and professional schools; and of course the military. All of these institutions were quite recently ours, and can be again. We just need to be coordinated, unified and strategic about retaking them.
Alongside the above process, we need to mainstream our ideas. The internet is of course helping with this. However, we need to get the word out constantly, and in such a manner that a large percentage of people become comfortable discussing these matters publicly. We must defang the shaming techniques which have so effectively silenced us. We must bring our ideas into the public sphere to be rationally discussed and pitted against the alternative. Then the censorship of the mainstream media and the empty platitudes of the elites will be increasingly seen as ridiculous and offensive by society.
Of course, the question becomes; how do we organize ourselves to undertake such effective action?
I’m not hopeful in any way. Whites have no history of ethnocentrism or ethnic networking; it takes centuries and centuries of evolution and selective breeding to shape people to become fit for survival in a hostile world. This is how Jews became so elite.
But while Jews survived because they followed a strict code in this hostile world, Whites have no such code. Whites have no worldview or ideology for themselves. Thus when whites become minorities, they will be lost forever. The majority will interbreed with non-Whites and the rest just won’t have children.
I feel the author is correct about the importance of forming informal schools and think-tanks, but my conviction is that there is simply not a dense enough concentration of white Europeans with IQs in the range to create culture for such groups to form in any meaningful numbers. Which leads off in a second direction: is the average Jewish IQ really closer to 140 than to 115? Standard IQ tests are not very accurate at assessing IQs above 120. If the bulk of the Jewish population have IQs far in excess of this, that would skew their distribution to the left, i.e. creating an artificially low average of 115. An average Jewish IQ closer to 140 is certainly more in keeping with my personal experience among the Jews I have met.
@fender_strat:
I disagree. Prior to the ’60′s “civil rights” revolution, western societies as a whole were set up to benefit us. Standard hiring practices of the time reflected this. It was also seen in social clubs, service organizations, country clubs and of government. There was also definite class based networking, as in the “old boys club”, but I believe that effective white ethnic networking occurred at all class levels.
It has taken 60 plus years of lawsuits, government decrees, widespread social engineering, “human rights tribunals”, and various forms of affirmative action to disrupt effective white ethnic networking.
Now that we recognize the attack, we can plan an effective counter attack. We must guard ourselves against hopelessness, and continue to push forward.
@Gray Prince: I agree with Gray Prince and I think Kurtagic’s goals are far too ambitious. Creating a counter-culture requires enormous intellectual resources, and there’s still only one Kevin MacDonald in the world as far as I know.
Kurtagic fails to mention the Zeitgeist. The New York Intellectuals, the Freudo-Marxists, etc., were not working against the zeitgeist of their times.
@Cary:
We found out that naming, labeling, defining, and describing are critical to a restoration of a decent sense of self-respect among the diverse white Americans, as well as providing a powerful basis for criticism in the real world against those who seek to do it for us with the lazy consent of most of us.
Thank you Cary. This is an important insight. I wish Professor MacDonald would stop using the term “WASP.”
It takes a work ethic to get anywhere in politics—that’s something very few people into “White” politics demonstrate.
MacDonald, James Edwards, and a very few others have a real work ethic.
The easiest thing to do is speak the truth. I belong to a small writing group. I timidly wrote a few pieces on the Jewish elite and black crime. I made claims of justice and honesty. To my surprise I nearly got a standing ovation! Lots of folks share our feelings but abide by current taboos. Things cease to be shocking very quickly once challenged – as we know to our sorrow.
Gentlemen, appeals to Hitler only damage our cause.
@Lancashire lad:
That book was by someone else, and I can’t find the incident you mention in any of the reviews on Amazon…could you give more precise directions?
I agree with Alice Teller. I think there are so so many whites out there that won’t speak up but think the same as many of us. I believe the best tactic is to concentrate on the here and now, and NOT get into debates about the past (although there is much misunderstanding about our past that needs to be made clear eventually). One tool I find rather useful is using the doublestandard. The progressive doctine is FULL of doublestandards that are easy to point out. Also, our message must convey a postitive image about the future we propose or how whites are being treated unfairly, not constantly running down other races and the current system. Use the Jews as a model to emmulate–they are self-serving, exclusionary, self-centered and have a very strong cultural identity. Let’s do the same and when questioned, say we learned it from the Jews.
I hung around white nationalist sites (Well, okay, I hung around Amren) for several years before I started posting also in mainstream media.
Why? Because I needed the human contact; it’s very lonely being the only white nationalist posting on a mainstream news site!
But suppose mainstream posting weren’t lonely? Suppose every website like this one had as part of its regular activity a group of posters who posted in the mainstream and had their page here where they catalogued good posts they’d devised to use out there, and where they exchanged daily info about what articles were appearing where out there each day, so that the “field trip” could depart and enjoy?
I’m not trying to reach the 95% of the posters on my mainstream site who are sheep (well, I’m maybe hoping to soften them up just a bit), but I do hope to reach a few of the other 5%. One never knows.
I’ve managed to have pretty good fun even by my lonesome, on my adopted mainstream site, knoxnews.com. If anyone wants to see how I go about having fun there while trying to introduce just a few simple facts and ideas, in this case the fact that people are indeed imprisoned in the West for “denying” the Holocaust®, you can check out this thread to an article there a couple of days ago that was about, of all things, English language capitalization (!):
I posted thirty-one of the thirty-three posts currently on the thread…I mixed in some bland “filler” posts so it wouldn’t seem like I’d totally taken over the thread with my topic…the newspaper doesn’t like that.
http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2011/jul/31/tis-the-season-to-lowercase/?comments_id=1866399
I’ve enjoyed myself immensely at that site for several years now, but I would have had a lot more fun if I’d had company!
Are there others here who post in the mainstream?
Selling a car, i got into a chat with the buyer (I hope) about our stuff. He is 55, Irish, smart, Silicon Valley, and has perceived just about everything we talk about, including the jews. This is a guy who has never read any of our books.
Something is happening out there, and you don’t know what it is, do you Mr. Shapiro. j
Sometimes worse is better, sometimes not. It depends on how prepped and cohesive the victims are, and the clarity of their vision about where they want to go when the worse comes.
By the way, there is such a thing as a “mantra.” I have thus far never encountered anybody using “worse is better” for yogic meditation, and we used to have “phrase,” “saying,” “axiom,” “maxim,” “aphorism,” “rule,” “adage,” “proverb” and stuff.
Couldn’t get past those first 4 instances.
The problem is thus two fold, simplified:
Who is reading this well written, well researched article? The choir. The people who already know what is wrong and what ought to be set right. Joe Sixpack and Sally Soccermom are still watching tv, oblivious to ANYTHING being spoken of here. You want to have a go at waking them up? Go for it. I’m sick of pissing into that hurricane.
Second, how many white people are left to fight for anything at all? When you weed out all the race traitors, people who actually want multicultism, along with all of the non whites now inhabiting our countries, something that our ancestors never even had to contend with, you’re left with a very small group indeed. Forget about whether we even have large enough numbers to take back our nations, do we even have nations to take back at all?
I’m sorry to be a stick in the mud, and I really don’t mean to rain on the parade of positivism, and seriously, I’d love to win this thing and soon. But, worse is better because people don’t learn that fire is hot unless they thrust their grubby little hands into one, and that’s the damn sad truth.
They control the schools, media, hollywood, politics, and are in the churches. They have every corner covered. The death grip is tightening, and even with the internet, most people are ignorant. That doesn’t matter, you just need 15% to change the course, but unfortunately, they are hacking away at personal liberty. They know what they are doing. Why wasn’t the disasterous 1965 immigration act overturned when Nixon was in office? The end of the cold war shifted control away from Whites. How do you get this back? They hit around the edges taking indirectly about ‘Bankers’, but are mostly not allowed to talk about who has the power, even though any ‘theory’ could still be researched, (in the USA), using google.
We might be dealing with a ‘scorpion and the frog’ scenario. The scorpion can’t help itself, it just does what it does, and both the frog and scorpion die. Jews are tied hand body and foot to Western civilization. As civilization declines, so does the average lot for the ‘average’ Jew. But they just can’t help themselves. Scorpion, and the Frog.

When you weed out all the race traitors, people who actually want multicultism, along with all of the non whites now inhabiting our countries, something that our ancestors never even had to contend with, you’re left with a very small group indeed.
People are lemmings . They don’t know there is an alternative to the status quo globalist multi-cult .
White people are also very much ripe for it to be made ” OK ” to be proud to be white , again . The white guilt thing is a game of diminishing returns . All that is needed is to show white people that it is the best model for a society and the most natural way for every race to form a society based on common ancestry and heritage > RACE . ( nation is derived from natal meaning birth ).
All people of all racesneed to be shown that there is a group of supremacists that are hypocrites and who play one race against the other . Nobody likes to be ” used ” .
It is going to happen because good will prevail over evil … it is just a matter of when .
Like a number of those commenting in this thread, I, too, believe that Mr. Kurtagic entertains misplaced hopes on this subject. The article represents a sensitive and creditable orchestration of ideas to lead Caucasians out of their headlong rush to disaster.
But these two ethnic groups are too polarized in temperament and indoctrination for Jews to afford a model for Gentile – and particularly Christian – emulation. It is difficult to grasp the degree of fear, paranoia, hatred, deception and destructiveness bred into the Jewish soul from cradle-up. This psychopathy inspires an almost unimaginable drive to achieve their agenda.
Thankfully, we Whites are free of that. Having long enjoyed sovereignty in our realm, we live from a vantage of well-being, prosperity, confidence, righteousness, and generosity. We are spontaneous, natural, reactive. Nothing has prepared us for a program of stealth and subversion. This is not a pattern of behavior befitting our nature, so we will not be adopting these methods. Everything else aside, the movement which has been proposed would be to slow and diffuse to counteract the eminent dangers.
On the other hand, fender-strat’s beautifully articulated resignation is premature, in my judgment. As mentioned in other posts, I think the problem is much simpler than we realize. Though Whites are chafing under a number of annoyances which have resulted from Jewish penetration of Universities and Government, the Constitution, itself, is sound and conceived for the long term. So government in the abstract is not the problem. The source of the chaos is infiltration of Jews into these areas of life, together with many others.
Therefore, there is no need to target government, itself, in any of the troubled Western States – only the element which has corrupted government. That is to say, Judaism. And history is replete with lessons in this exercise. This makes things much easier. And happy to say, blessed Whites all over Europe, the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand should have a part in this pleasurable pursuit.
Fortunately the Yahudis’ checkered record has schooled them in fear and vulnerability. This is our strong suit. They expect discovery and ejection at any time because their crimes are so horrific. Bernard Madoff is a microcosm of the whole. He simply could not wait for apprehension. He had to surrender for the glory. Believe me, they are cowards to the bone, schooled to run.
Franklin Ryckaert’s post contains several ideas that might lend themselves to this purpose. Franklin is one of our most estimable habitues. When Henry Ford published “The International Jew” he placed a free copy of this book in every car he sold. Publications intent on communicating ideas to common man should be given away, not sold, whenever possible. Of the countries under threat, the U.S. is the only remaining Republic with freedom of speech. We must take full advantage of it. We must take full advantage of all our freedoms to defeat this iniquity.
I do think that America’s subjugation has been nearer than we might suppose. It is my impression that the present Chief Executive was intended to complete the job. He, together with his cronies, George Bush and Bill Clinton, have quietly and incrementally appropriated unconstitutional privileges sufficient to give an American President the standing of a despot. The right event could place the entire country under his hand. Nevertheless, all of this can be un-done when the money-changers have been driven from the temple.
@Harumphty_Dumpty:
I see alot of posts against diversity etc, on news sites. I usually have little or nothing to add. The media started censoring its sites around 2003-4, or so, because conservatives usually would rack up the posts, against all the nonsense. But posting on websites, after doing it myself for years, shows little effect. Its ok to do, but the issues must be dealt with on a legacy scale. When its time, its time. Illegal immigration is the litmus test. Most Americans don’t want it, and we are chisling away at it, even during a rough economy, people are not making it a huge issue. It peaked in 2006 or 7, and then it got watered down. Until it becomes a legacy issue, with natural movement, there is little a few people can do.
Fenrea,
Be patient, it is slow work to make change. Once you begin to win it happens very fast. I know we are running out of time and the odds are stacked against us. The debate on raising the debt limit drove home how many people are living off us. People are waking up! Have faith.
Fenria, you are absolutely right. Joe Sixpack and Sally Sockermom will never pay any attention to us unless things get so bad that they will finally wake up and smell the negro lighting a fire under their white butts.
@Freki:
{“…Kurtagic fails to mention the Zeitgeist.The New York intellectuals,the Freudo-Marxists,etc.were not working against the zeitgeist of their times…”}
Are you not confusing cause and effect?Who CREATED that zeitgeist in the first place?
@Heinrich:
I would say that average Joe six pack will not wake up until his tv tells him what is going on .
I swear if just one major network would stream pro-white programming in to joe’s boob tube brain then he would be set back on the right path . It’s just that simple .
If you listen to pop music on your radio you soon realize the power of the media . The pop music is often just crap with a beat and a black rapper with true tone modification .
People still love this crap music even though it is absolute garbage .
Why ? … because that beat has been pounded in to their little heads . It has been made to be ” popular” just by repetition . There is very good music that could have been played , but it is the crap that is played over and over again . The message is the medium .
The same is true with politics .
@Gray Prince:
{“…Jews have an average IQ of 140…”}
As far as I know the average VERBAL IQ of Ashkenazi Jews is 115 while their overall IQ is 107,in Israel it is even lower (per Richard Lynn).To suppose that the average IQ of Jews is 140 is absolutely ridiculous.An IQ of 140 is borderline genius,do you really want us to believe that 50% of all Jews are geniuses?In that case we would be lost.The reality is that Jews are far less intelligent than the myth wants us to believe.Their success in life can be ascribed to a combination of cunning,shamelessness,consciouslessness and ethnic nepotism,not extraordinary genius.
Whites are a far greater demographic than Jews.It is therefore entirely possible to collect a sufficient number of highly intelligent Whites to combat the Jews.
Don’t try to discourage us.Are you a Jew yourself,playing the role of a “concern troll”?
@buckle:
I know this will sound like nitpicking buckle, but Poland is NOT preparing to point more American missiles at Russia. On the contrary, that is being done by NATO. Cast your mind back to April 2010 and recall the killing of about half the entire Polish political class …
… who had hitherto been robustly resisting the EU takeover of their country, in an air-crash involving a Polish Airforce TU-154 in Smolensk, western Russia.
It may look like Poland is pointing missiles at Russia, but it is far more likely they have a political Magnum .45 pointed at their collective heads, so there is little point in them resisting at this point in time.
For example, it is believed the USA still has nuclear weapons stationed on English soil. None of us want them there. In fact, none of us want any of the military equipment, personnel, or their flag there. We have been singing “Yankee Go Home” since the 1950s, but somehow the UK Establishment maintains the status-quo.
Countries are not pulling the strings buckle. National independence started to evaporate the moment that third bullet (fired from that grassy knoll) split apart the cranium of President J. F. Kennedy, before scattering his brains over the boot of his Cadillac. The descendants of those who conspired in his obscenely public murder are presently in control of world affairs.
What has for decades been dismissed as a Conspiracy Theory is now indisputable fact. Saying “I told you so” hardly seems appropriate under the circumstances. There is a natural reluctance for the average Joe (and his silly wife) to grasp facts and evidence when presented by people not working for the government.
@Franklin Ryckaert: The outcome of WW2 helped a lot to create that zeitgeist. I don’t think Freudo-Marxists or the New York Intellectuals had much influence on that one… It’s all about surfing the zeitgeist, and Kurtagic is certainly not doing that with his VERY subcultural approach. I doubt that even a couple of MacDonalds could change the zeitgeist. Certainly not Kurtagic.
@John hearns:
John … here is some great medicine I’d like to share with yah!
And best of it all, it’s for free. Just make sure you’ve got your browser up-to-date; preferably by discarding and trashing your Microsoft Internet Explorer and downloading instead, Firefox, or Opera, or even Chromium (i.e., if you are running Linux).
Then, punch in this URL:
http://www.internet-radio.org.uk/stations/celtic/
Now browse down and try listening to any one of these three Internet Radio Stations:
Live Ireland, Live from Dublin
All Irish Radio
Highlander Radio
To play, just click on the cursive F icon (to play using the Flash embedded in your updated browser).
Now attach powerful speakers, turn up the volume, and prepare to sing along … even though you don’t know the words.
Oh, and a word of warning, it may be advisable to clear away some of your furniture, as there is a very real risk you will spontaneously break into a kaylee, barn-dance, or whatever takes your fancy. This is real music … happy music.
Furthermore, I am giving you a guarantee … these are radio channels who only play men and women who can truly sing, and musicians who are undoubted masters of their instruments.
By accident of birth, I am what some might call an “English bastard”, but I never hesitate to say … GOD BLESS THE IRISH!!!!!!!!!!
Authors could well lead the way by releasing their works online, gratis, as well as offering hardcopy for coin.
Fame, notoriety, reputation all go towards creating goodwill; the customer who reads the book that he wouldn’t have bought today may be a purchaser of your next work, or an attendee at your next conference (or he may not). Books that can be read PDF still sell in hardcopy because they are different goods, and appeal to different markets.

@Trenchant: Thank you Brother.
The wheel will turn on egalitarians in any case: if for example their policies in Europe succeed and Islam takes over. They are so stupid they do not realize that they are just paving the way for powers that are antithetical to their own ideology and who will swallow them up as well.
@Gabor: Exceptions among the Brown / Black shirts do not disprove the rule. Most of these intellectuals saw in the early Nazis a way to defeat Stalin. If only it stopped there. The full-throated neo-paganism which the Nazis and Mussolini came to represent was no culture but the end of it, centering on a cult of personality every bit as much as the Communists.
Excellent article, Alex. I would not say it is overly ambitious; rather, you are being realistically encouraging.
A call to alpha males & alpha females – let’s just do it.
“The next stage is the forming of associations, clubs, and fora, formal and informal; the organising of institutes, centres, think tanks, and publishing companies; the launching of journals, magazines, newspapers, and websites; and the creation of status systems, such as award bodies, prizes, and professional hierarchies”.
Absolutely. And we should avoid the Amazon-Kindle hegemony where any book or writing in time can be deleted by politically correct authorities.
http://www.educatedguesswork.org/2009/07/notes_on_the_kindle_orwell_aff.html
Already too many libraries in schools are being eliminated. When more and more authority is centralized trouble looms for dissenting groups and alternative cultures. Printing is obviously very expensive today, which is why people with money who are repelled by today’s cultural collapse and concentration of power must step up to the plate with generous bequests, etc. and why clubs, think tanks and the like (samizdat if worse comes to worse) must launch. And pronto. Back to a republic is feasible, where the legitimacy of enclaves within has a long and noble history here.
Inspiring Mr Kartagic! I am certainly left motivated and dwelling in a different space. We must dwell in posibillity rather than negativity and enjoy the struggle. It must be intellectual and it must be artistic and emotional. It must have love and passion both push and pull factors.
I would add for the benefit of many readers that some of the posters here are shams: their motivation is to demoralise, split and provoke us. A tactic that has been in use for a long time on nationalist newgroups. See “False Flag Racism”
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/06/11/false-flag-racism-the-internet-proxy-war/
I would also like to add the extreme importance of donating regulary. Jews are very good at donating. Small donations can become extremly formidable.
Small acorns grow into large trees.
As an example, does anybody around here remember the tiny American punk rock scene in the 1980s? That’s a great example of a small, focused group of people who created their own SCENE. And I emphasize the word “scene” because it existed before the days of the Internet and it involved people physically getting together, putting on shows, printing flyers, etc. And it was fun!
That “scene” went on to influence society in myriad ways, both musically and politically. And it started very, very small. I think that’s what Kurtagic is trying to tell us.
I agree with a lot of this article but one must keep in mind the jews had virtually UNRESTRICTED freedom in getting their ideas published – unlike the counter culture which is often smeared by the big elites. Jews had NO mainstream opposition to their ideas.
@Someday:
By moving to the next target I mean: choosing an issue, selecting an achievable target, pressing hard to get the concession, and then, once the concession is granted, immediately start the campaign for the next concession within your chosen issue.
So what I am suggesting implies sticking around—but sticking around while always moving the goal posts. That’s how the Left does it, with great success.
I think estabishing credibility with the white masses is the prerequisite for getting concessions from the system. Once a certain level of credibilty is attained whites will listen and maybe get behind nationalist arguments, right now they hear but they’re not willing to listen. Ezra Pound and Louis Ferdinand Céline were great writers but I’m not sure that even they were ever able to wring a concession. You are giving us a lot of credit there !
The correct term is “worse is better, for now”. That changes the meaning somewhat.
If conditions are made more difficult for Whites by massive unemployment, non-white attacks on Whites, government preference for non-white employees, “terrorist” attacks, non-white takeover of White neighborhoods, home foreclosures, etc., then perhaps Whites will start to think of the more important things in life. Perhaps during the “worse” times they will be more open to racial nationalist ideas and find themselves at a new ideological vantage point—a point from which they could never return to their previous way of thinking.
So the “worse” mode is temporary only, a short-term change that would jar the thinking of a portion of the White masses. Nobody wants it “worse” permanently.
@Someday:
I a previous piece I mentioned credibility. But you will find that one important reason people don’t want to listen is the fact that the data is inconvenient. Deep down many sense the implications for them of accepting the data, and resist it accordingly.
If it were a matter of simply bringing the data to the unawakened, you would no doubt be awakening dozens of people every day.
Do they think their lives will be better by rejecting the data?
@Jesse James:
But posting on websites, after doing it myself for years, shows little effect.
How could one know? We’re discussing mainstream sites, but how could one know how effective this present white site we are posting on is, or how effective any other white site is?
We’re not at a point where we can (figuratively, of course) gaze out across a battlefield strewn with the fallen bodies and defeated ideas of our enemies.
The mass of people believe that whatever is put in front of their face regularly is part of the natural order of things, so let’s make sure that the words “white” and “Jew” and other words are part of their everyday experience at their accustomed news sites. And if posts with those words are deleted, the words can still be made to appear on the internal screen of readers’ minds by using round-about phrasing.
And if links to sites like this one get a post deleted, a curious sentence from the page you want to direct readers to, with a suggestion to google the sentence, may accomplish the link to a white site even more effectively.
I’ve developed a thousand tricks to get my info up over the several years I’ve posted at the site of Knoxville’s newspaper (knoxnews.com). Anyone who has read my posts there for awhile, and I think there are a few such readers, has read at one time or another a good portion of everything I’ve ever posted or read on the white sites I visit.
But how much more fun it would have been if three of four others like me had been there those several years, and what an effect we could have had.
Of course if three or four of us had been there, the site would have taken some preventive measures by now. Fine. As our institutions reconfigure themselves under our pressure, we’ll continue to find new ways to press. If the news sites are forced to block all white-type opinion, that will send more readers away from them and into the depths of cyber-space where they will find real sites like this one.
The idea is to press wherever there are openings at the moment, and at the present moment one of the many openings available to us are mainstream sites. They appear blocked to us only if we don’t take the time to learn how to circumvent their cursory blocking.
I hope David Duke will declare for the presidency, since that will make it easier to link him and discuss his ideas on mainstream sites. Where A3P is running candidates, they will accomplish the same for their ideas and links to their sites.
Let’s all push wherever there is a place to push, and our efforts may end up synergistically aiding each other.
@Freki:
There’s also a Frank Salter. Then there are some old guys like Richard Lynn, Tatu Vaihanen, or van den Berghe, or Vincent Sarich. Also you have to remind yourself that because truth is on our side, a lot of mainstream or leftist and liberal authors will have books that support our point of view. Mearsheimer and Walt might be good examples of this.

@Franklin Ryckaert: Well, my position is that IQ measurements are not really valid above the 120 level. That falsely depresses Jewish mean IQ measurements. Dr. Macdonald has noted correctly that Jewish over-representation at elite universities far exceeds their putative IQ advantage, leading one to believe, as I do, that it is in fact much higher.
@Gabor: Yes, MacDonald and Salter are very resourceful, but they are not founders of any counter-culture. There are many other fields of research (science) or “activities” (in the arts, media, etc) far more significant (influential) than writing about evolutionary psychology, European demographics, or Jewish intellectual movements. These are very important issues, no doubt. But they do not have the potiential of changing the mindset/zeitgeist of the mainstream. And Vanhanen + Lynn are not taken very seriously by anyone with more than a two-digit IQ. In general, all this IQ-talk is a non-starter. And it cannot be measured scientifically anyway.
@Wayne:
The progressive doctrin is indeed full of double standards that leave many options for attack. If a fair logic was the battleground we would have won long ago.
However “Political Correctness” takes hold at the age of 11 and in my case took nearly 30 years to get rid of.
Consider this
http://bigthink.com/ideas/39485 which shows how deeply penetrated 11 years olds are with doublethink.
We certainly need to intellectual and logical underpinnings, however as Alex Kurtagic realises we need “Art” and other devices to provide the intense emotional experiences that effect young people and to form a joyus subculture.
@Harumphty_Dumpty:
Well, if there are others here who disagree with me that posting on mainstream news sites is worthwhile, I’d like to hear from you. I’ve certainly had my doubts, and my mind is open.
Strange thing happened to me several weeks ago. I was picking up my sister-in-law from the hotel where she works. My sister-in-law could care less about politics, church, or world affairs. She works as labor at a hotel resort. She mentioned when I picked her up that she had been working catering the Othodox Jewish event that was going on at the hotel. As we drove by a crowd of people she said “those are Jews”. I asked her how she knew that and she said “You can just tell”. I asked her what they were doing and she responded “causing wars and the usual mischief”. I almost fell back. How could my sweet, innocent sister-in-law, lowly laborer as she was, come up with this? Who was she talking too? We never know what’s really in the peoples hearts.
The true mantra is: “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem”.
Yes, some Jewish intellectual began their crusade with humble means – however, they always found Christian Gentiles among the Whitefolks who were willing to sell their Lord Christ to come in the ‘Good Book’ of Jewish elites for destroying Christian world from within. The great majority of powerful think tanks, social organizations and political parties in the West, though lead by Christians, are in fact funded by the Jews. Take for example world’s most powerful group, Bilderberg. According to Abe Foxman (ADL), criticism of Bilderberg amounts to ‘anti-Semitism’.

Further to my comment aimed at authors trying to get their message out, the Trent Reznor case is worth studying. Nine-inch Nails allows free downloads of their music, and yet still makes good money. This is a business-model worth considering.

@Harumphty_Dumpty:
Actually, i think that posting in the mainstream media is valuable. Its all part of putting the ideas into the public consciousness and making them part of public discourse. Also, making the ideas an acceptable topic of public discourse, to counter the many forces that act to silence and censor us.
It would be a slow process, I imagine, but I think it would have to be useful. I know that in the fairly recent past, some of the commentary following news stories on the CBC news site helped to open my eyes. Despite the very liberal and pro multi-cult CBC attempting to censor and silence such commentary.
I also often see anti-immigration commentary on the local Craigslist Rants and Raves section. This is often followed by a storm of comments both pro and con. But the big advantage is that it is actually being publicly discussed. It breaks through the PC induced self-censorship that so many whites have had surreptitiously installed as subconscious malware.
I keep meaning to do some posting in the mainstream media myself. I’ll have to make some time for myself to start doing so.

@Gray Prince:
What fishbowl cityscape is this viewpoint based upon – Manhattan – Hollywood – Tel Aviv? You should be careful when you extrapolate. There are at least 200 million whites in North America alone. This is a vast host which has already demonstrated its creative ability in a number of areas in which Jews are notoriously lacking (ie actual civilization construction). Most of these communities (when left to their own devices) have carved out a considerable culture over the past couple hundred years, with no help at all from these super-Jews you keep referring to. Man, if they are as smart as you say, why have they played such a prominent role in attacking a host in the ways that Macdonald has demonstrated? How unnecessary and silly their political positions appear to be when surely they know that it will only result in further resentment from the group that naively welcomed them to begin with. It seems to me that there is something lacking in their strategic ability (certainly it’s not all to be laid at the feet of white prejudice) that is consistently unable to become a truly positive community within a larger group.
If we all must speculate on I.Q.s beyond 120, consider the multifaceted intelligence required to conquer a continent, defend a homestead, design and build cities, as well as the leisure required to then reflect, sing and write about the adventure, thus creating a new myth for a new world. We’ve had nothing new from the Jews in the true direction of “culture creation” for thousands of years. In my experience, they are generally quite an unmiraculous bunch.
The Jewish religio/literary tradition is still floating upon the remnants of a mythology that is so archaic that it can only be bolstered through the suppression of the younger energy of a people that has not even reached its maturity by a rotten order of corrupt bankers. We’re not dumb, just young, and we will see the end of this era and establishment.
We have culture. We are in possession. We just need to learn how to defend it against a corrosive intelligence which is useful (perhaps, despite the aforementioned concerns) for its occasional role as an adviser to heads of state but which has rarely demonstrated a legitimate capacity for political leadership, at least since the time of King David.
Trade the preoccupation with IQ measurements for a good trip across the country. I’m not sure you appreciate the size or sheer heterogeneity among the white enclaves within the heartland.
Thanks to Alex for this positive article on modest beginnings.
@John hearns:
I would put money on it that if we had a semi mainstream network pumping out even the most mildest of AMREN style White Nationalism on the jewtube, we’d have a nation of angry, wide awake white people in no time flat!
It’s little wonder that media outlets are the first thing to fall under control of a hostile occupying force.
Yes. One thing I’ve noticed about Jews is that, along with an ingrained and despicable tendency to fudge them relative to us, they do have consciences and can make exquisite considerations of honesty.
Jewish guilt will be our friend.
Yes, it is so easy to do so much right now; not easy to make a big difference at this critical time. Not standing up now may become something that many regret later.
That whole post was wonderful, giving a stouter heart.
I do it now and then. It can be very engaging and heartening when a group of pro-Whites is swarming a thread and giving nightmares to editors trying to keep “the wrong thoughts” from cropping up on sites having a liberal agenda. A great exercise. It has to enlighten and cheer other Whites out there I am sure.
It has effect, it has effect! I know that I have been inspired to join and give my two cents because of the presence of other posters. I also know my thoughts and awareness have bee influenced by scores of anonymous posters who don’t know this.
But posting on forums is not enough pro-White activism or White social regeneration. Don’t forget to look for ways to reach out in real life. When White men start reaching out in real life friendship, brotherhood and coordinated activism, there will be the sea change. Churches are a good place to start. Talk groups of some kind. That’s what we need to work on now. Cultural streams and cultural ferment at the White grass roots.
Like this, indeed:
And don’t leave out just little talking groups of 3-4 at a time. Coffee clatches. Even that would be would be like a sea change itself. The “irl” (In Real Life) is the critical thing proposed here, as contrasted to anonymous interneting. This is the kind of real-life cultural development we need now.
And don’t leave out churches. They used to be our White European community meeting places. There is huge cohesive-making power in the Whites of a village or town simply getting together in one place once a week. We don’t realize that our churches used to be that; used to be our glue. No matter what the priest or minister’s saying up there, they can be used and turned to the same use, to the use of White European survival. And they should, because they were created by us and owe that to us. The minister or priest can be all the clueless ninny he wants, and his church can still be used as a return place, tacit White gathering for the European survival ‘germ’ to spread. (Plus, the “space” effect of the interiors reminds you of akasa or space, the first evolute of Brahman according to the Vedas; the hymns are spiritually affecting and beautiful, you’ll be breathing the breath and dreams of your European ancestors, and White men can often meet decent and moral White women there…I could go on.)
Sorry Alex, I didn’t realize what good content was in your article later on. Keep developing your writing, I’m sure I’ll become a more avid reader.
A pleasant interlude for my White brothers and sisters, to remember things we’ve been and reappraise:
English Church Interiors
This is an excellent article. While we probably won’t end up copying the exact strategies of the Left, much of that they did is simply effective from any strategic viewpoint.
I heard someone on TV recently say that only 1% of the population is ever really involved in political and social issues, about 9% read about them, and the other 90% are busy with their own lives. This is probably a good approximation. The lack of numbers we have should not be viewed as an impediment at this point. For better or worse, most people on Earth are just along for the ride. It’s only the few that care that change things.
The politic in the US, Canada and most of the western countries is for the rich or the immoral people who are williong to work as lobbists for multi-national establishments or some foreign countries.
The mainstream media in the West is nothing more than the ‘Jewish Wikipedia’. It will make bad news from the non-western counteries as headlines – while hiding its home grown terrorism and social injustices under the carpet.
How many mainstream media has mentioned the mass protests by Israeli Jews against injustices carried out against the entity’s Jewish population?

@Freki:
Neither Freud nor Boas nor Marx were founders of a counter-culture in an immediate and literal sense. But their work inspired, was picked up, or absorbed by many who were involved in the creation of a counter-culture—we can think of the musicians, artists, novelists, that were popular in the 1960s as examples. The counter-culture of yesterday has since become the culture.
An analogous phenomenon is happening today. There are music and other subcultures that draw from Nietzsche, Spengler, Evola, and an abundance of others associated with inegalitarian currents, that, in their aggregate, amount to a growing counter-culture. It needs to grow much more, but the phenomenon already exists.
@fender_strat: Less than 3% of whites marry outside their race. This holds true in the US and Europe. Look it up. Repeatedly throughout history, when whites have been pushed against the wall, they have ultimately responded in incredibly fierce fashion. Whites don’t need ethnic networking like jews or the perceived solidarity that other races exhibit. They need to be fed up and to actually perceive a threat. Which is what whites are doing bit by bit, person by person. The naysayers are more of the Hasbara Playbook team members.
Worse is better? I agree with Mr. Kurtagic to an extent that for some this is defeatist or at least fear. But for others, it’s far from that. I won’t take up too much bandwidth other than to say some of them strike me as the type who see that as their chance. They may be right. I prefer to get some things going now, as impossible as some might want us to believe that is. Look at how quickly things changed in the US over the last 40 years, especially the last 20. Things can go the other way even more quickly once the rock starts rolling down the hill.
@Trenchant:
Trenchant nice link! I downloaded the copy and about fell out of my chair when the topic of IRV RUBIN came up. I’m from California and cannot believe I’ve never heard of this incident.
-Wikipedia: Irving D. Rubin (April 12, 1945 – November 13, 2002) was chairman of the Jewish Defense League (JDL) from 1985 to 2002. Over the years he was suspected of and charged with committing various acts of terrorism. He committed suicide in jail when awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy to bomb California congressman Darrell Issa’s office.
-Unbelievable this wasn’t front page news. The head of the JDL plotting to blow up a U.S. Congressman’s office who happens to be an Arab conservative. WOW.
@Alex Kurtagic:
Freud and Boas were part of mainstream society. I would, however, tend to view Marx as a founder of a kind of counter-culture. Yes, the “counter-culture of yesterday has since become the culture,” but don’t forget the historical events enabling this development (2 world wars, for example).
Most subcultures remain subcultural. Nietzsche is not subcultural, even if there are subcultural cults of Nietzschean philosophy. Spengler and Evola (as you mentioned) have remained sub-/counter-cultural and have never gone mainstream.
@Gray Prince:
{“IQ measurements above the 120 level are not really valid”}
I accept that you cannot judge that what is above your own level of intelligence, but an IQ of 120 is not that high.An IQ of 140 is average for an intellectual,150 is average for a professor and there are people with still higher IQ’s.Such people can very well construct tests to measure say IQ’s between 120 and 140.Of course assessing an IQ of say 200 would be difficult (you would need someone with a 200+ IQ) but we are not talking about that.
So I don’t think Jews have a much higher IQ than measured,because it can be measured.
That Jews have such disproportionally success is not only due to their intelligence (which is real but not of mythic proportions) but also to their ambition and ethnic nepotism for which they feel no shame.Jews appoint Jews,praise Jews,quote Jews and reward Jews.That is the reason you find so many mediocre Jews in high positions where they actually don’t belong: Jewish actors who cannot act,Jewish singers who cannot sing,Jewish judges who cannot judge etc.(Elena Kagan comes to mind).Western goyim do not act tribally,therefore they are promoted on their individual merits,not tribal relations.Still Western civilization did just fine without Jews most of the time,as did all other civilizations.It is difficult for a people with a “chosen people”-complex to accept that they are not indispensable.
@Freki:
Marx in the 1840s could not predict that a century hence there would be something called World War II to help his project along. Moreover, Marx was hardly mainstream in his time: he was subject to censorship, bans, arrests, and expulsions. He could hardly find any paid work, survived on handouts, and lived in poverty, pawning his shoes and coat for food. Not for that reason did he give up before he even started or think “Oh, it’s impossible, it can’t be done, it’s too hard, why bother.”
Subsequently Marxists kept trying to crack the nut until they cracked it.
Also, subcultures can and do impact on the mainstream, even if many remain subcultures. And I was talking about an aggregate of subcultures, founded on similar principles.
@Alex Kurtagic:
Look, I didn’t claim that Marx himself was mainstream. He created a kind of (a subcultural) counter-culture that became mainstream after the death of its founder. “Clairvoyance” is irrelevant in this context.
Many of the Marxists who “kept trying to crack the nut until they cracked it” were leading intellectuals of their times. And their ambition was to change mainstream society and culture. And they certainly did – helped by extreme and unique events in the history of the West. I have not noticed any mainstream ambitions in your writings. You seem to be content cultivating and perpetuating a subcultural status.
Yes, subcultures can impact on the mainstream, but there is no natural law saying that they will, especially not if they lack the ambition to do so.
Of course, Marx chose to live off others, despising toil. At various times in his life, he enjoyed an extremely high income. See Gary North’s analysis of Marx’s personal finances in Requiem for Marx.

Johnson also has a good look at Marx’s self-imposed poverty in his Intellectuals.

@T. Doom:
‘Look at how quickly things changed in the US over the last 40 years, especially the last 20. Things can go the other way even more quickly once the rock starts rolling down the hill. ‘
There are even historical examples of this occurring!
1.) Life was assuredly worse</U. for White Southerners right after the Civil War and had Reconstruction forced on them. They responded after getting their ‘Worse is better for now’ jolt and successfully rolled Reconstruction back with the imposition of Jim Crow.
2.) Life was certainly worse for Whites in Germany under the Weimar Republic. This version of the ‘Worse is better for now’ jolt led to Whites converting to National Socialism, which quickly rolled back the liberal rot. Many do not know this but Jews in the Weimar Republic were starting allow large numbers of Blacks to immigrate into Germany in the 1920s! Sadly National Socialism was destroyed by external factors.
These reactionary movements have occurred before! What has been done by the Left can be undone by the Right! The Left knows this and that is why they are so paranoid all the time with the ADL and SPLC. We are going to win this thing and have a Whiter and brighter World!
Today is the day, start yourself find friends, and business people to found small informal groups. This is the start, exclude anyone of no honor or class. As you move forward you will see these people as your family extended, which in fact they are. You future needs to be planned today. The idea will will be back in caveman days or fall of Rome is little out there. However revolution is not. With many stroke the elephant is fallen. Every thought, comment, wish and desire with action will further our cause.
@Freki: I only read one book by Vanhanen (Ethnic Conflicts Explained by Ethnic Nepotism), and although I don’t quite agree with all of his recommendations, nevertheless I don’t think he’s not to be taken seriously. And my IQ is surely in three-digit territory. Regarding Lynn, again, I only read one book by him (Race Differences in Intelligence: An Evolutionary Analysis), but I don’t think he’s not to be taken seriously. I recognize they’re better known for their work together, but I haven’t read their books together (although they are on my bookshelf, but I haven’t had yet time for that), so I don’t know anything about it. I think evolutionary psychology, sociobiology, political science, etc. are the most important topics. Our movement is not about physics or chemistry etc., so these are irrelevant. On the other hand, sociobiology, political science etc. make the scientific/scholarly foundations of the movement. They provide what Marx and Engels provided the leftists.
I think a counter-culture or subculture could be started, and then subsequently it might become more mainstream. In music there are actually a number of subcultures which might evolve later into the mainstream. (For example martial industrial or neofolk performers like Von Thronstahl, Dernière Volonté, or Triarii, or black metal, which has already been mentioned, and which has spawned the more commercial sounding and therefore more popular viking and folk metal movements.) Or they might not, but as you have already admitted, Marxism didn’t have stronger beginnings than we do now.
For starters, more intellectually inclined non-English speakers on this site might think about contacting the authors and starting to translate some important English language works, for example those of Dr. MacDonald.
@Freki: Some extreme events might be ahead of us either. Not only as a result of the destructive immigration wave, but also as a result of an exhaustion of natural resources, climate change (man-made or not man-made), the rise of Asia, particularly of China (partially as a result of destructive free-trade policies), etc. etc. The job here is to start and maintain a subculture that might be ready to infiltrate the mainstream once cracks appear there, and later to take it over altogether, if and when the opportunity arises. It might never come, but it surely will never come if we stay idle. Also, I view some of these activities (commenting on mainstream forums or articles, talking to friends trying to convince them, translating works, joining political clubs and movements, and as a contingency doing some sports to stay fit should the worst come) as a kind of useful hobby. E.g. amateur radio: those who do that thing might fancy the idea that they are preparing for WWIII or some other major catastrophe. (I know a guy who does that, and told me that.) In reality, probably they are only having fun. Which is a good thing even if the catastrophe never comes, or if amateur radio will be useless when it does. Same thing for our movement: it might be fun and give at least a superficial feeling of usefulness even if eventually we’re doomed, if we will never be able to reverse the fortunes of our race. At least we did something.
Very good article. So refreshing to read a positive constructive proactive approach to this issue. Never mind the flood of defeatist commentary . A defeatist mindest is a precursor to defeat. We are the majority and the elite is a tiny minority, and therefore extremely vulnerable.
Understand their vulnerabilities and take them on.
@HSC:
“A defeatist mindest is a precursor to defeat.”
Spot on.
We are the majority, are we? Depends what you mean by ‘we’.
‘We have met the enemy and they is us’.
