Secrets to a Happy Life: A Primer for 20-Something Whites
Christopher Donovan
November 17, 2009
Is age 36 comparatively too
young for me to be dispensing life advice?
Probably.
But I've seen enough misery
among White friends, relatives, and co-workers
who are in their 30s and 40s that I'm motivated to
write. A lot of the
misery, I'm convinced, is caused by the death-inducing lies fed to Whites by
the popular culture — a culture that is heavily
influenced by consumerism,
pharmacology, misguided White liberalism and our Jewish ethnic competitors.
Whites today are a mess. They're
declining in numbers, politically
dispossessed, and confused about who they are. They are ignorant of their
history and haven't even thought of their future as a
race of people. So it
should come as no surprise that they currently aren't making any future to
speak of.
I'm chipping in to reverse this trend.
Don't think of this as anything
definitive or comprehensive. It's a
jumping-off point, food for thought, a spark for the mental juices.
Consider:
1. Get married.
Once upon a time, mothers wanted this. Fathers wanted
this. The whole family wanted this. They put pressure on younger people,
and it worked. Today, that pressure is gone. It's not
good a good thing
for Whites generally, or you personally.
Staying single into your 30's
and 40's is recipe for isolated misery. The
natural order of a healthy American life is to get married. Christians
believe this, and correctly. Atheist racialist
evolutionists believe this,
and correctly. Whatever else motivates you, you should believe this, too.
Because it's true.
The "death culture" is one
primarily aimed at Whites. Reject it. Don't
think that a happy life means perpetual adolescence and never-ending
bachelorhood or bachelorette-hood. It's a lie.
You look better at age 25. You
have an open window, and you need to climb
through it.
I cannot fathom the number of
very smart and very attractive White women
I've seen go unmarried. If you're a woman, read "Just
Marry Him", the 2008
article from The Atlantic.
Read it if you're a man, too.
I repeat: get married. It's the rare person whose life is so important that they can't be bothered to get married. Most presidents of late have been married, with children. If leaders of the free world can manage it with their schedules, so can you.
Marriage can be miserable. I
need not go on about this. But it is far
superior to the alternative: loneliness, partnerless-ness, family-lessness.
On balance, I think studies show that married people
are happier and live
longer. Human beings need a partner, a family, a sense of the future.
Lying in bed every night knowing that your body is the
end of the genetic
line should be a bracing thought. So kill the thought by getting married
and having kids.
I am convinced that some Whites
(usually women), disappointed by their
inability to find a partner, declare themselves to be homosexual and pair
off that way. I'm frustrated by this, partly because I
doubt the actual
"homosexuality" of these folks.
I'm not pointing fingers here,
but maybe Whites of both sexes need to
dispense with the notion that they'll marry a matinee idol. You might be
happier with a chunky White man with bad eyes who can
give you children than
another miserable chunky White woman who can't.
The bottom line: wait for the
perfect man or woman, and you'll be waiting a
long time. Marry someone you can stand, who you can imagine waking up next
to every morning. Doesn't sound romantic, I know, but
there it is.
2. Marry a White person.
You'll be happier. I encounter dozens of White
women who, convinced by Jewish propaganda that a Black man will enrich them,
end up living ghetto lifestyles. Don't buy this lie.
There is nothing more completely
revolting and dispiriting to me than the
sight of a White woman trailing her Black or Hispanic "ghetto daddy" and
their corn-rowed, ghetto-beclothed young ones.
Typically, she herself has
often thrown in with the ghetto lot, dressing in sweatclothes and adopting a
ghetto hairstyle of some kind.
But it's not just me who's made
unhappy. These women are not really happy.
They have descended to the undercrust of life, seemingly without an
opportunity to return. These women are sometimes
physically abused, living
in lowly conditions, and otherwise ill-cared for (personal observation).
I don't imagine that the thousands of White males who've married Asian women are as miserable as the White partners of Blacks, but I counsel avoiding this route as well. An Asian woman might have some advantages over a White woman — less feminist comes to mind — but try overlooking this for the good of the race.
B
Your in-laws will be White,
which will make things easier. They understand
you. You understand them. The whole extended family will be White. A nice
shelter in an increasingly hateful world.
And let's face it — it's not
like White people are unattractive. A Jewish
male might face the temptation to marry a pretty blonde "shiksa," but he's
encouraged to get past that and marry into his
ethnicity. You, White
gentile male, should be marrying the pretty blonde (or brunette, or
redhead). Many Jewish mothers would agree.
3. Have children.
Don't wait until your 40's. It is simply a lie that
childbirth at 42 is as easy and risk-free as childbirth at 28. The media
tells you this because it's not interested in a healthy
White society —
it's interested in quite the opposite.
In fact, it's
much harder for women to get pregnant after age 35.
Listen to nature: have children
in your 20's and 30's. Have lots of them.
Don't worry about paying for them. They will not starve, believe me.
Making partner at Stumpson &
Wickwacker is not more fulfilling.
Children are an absolute
delight. Yes, they are also a pain. But don't
listen to the lies about how having kids will ruin your life. They won't.
Your life is not so important that you can't change a
damn diaper. This
will put you in touch with reality. Someone changed your diaper, after all
— give back, as the liberals like to say.
It just isn't normal to go
childless. Healthy life means being surrounded
by all ages of Whites, from infancy to deathbed. This
is life, and this is
how it should be.
You look like an idiot with all
your yuppie toys and no kids at 46. I've
seen this White couple all over — on my side of the family and my wife's.
They have spectacular homes, very nicely decorated.
Great, I admire that.
But what lurks there is creeping death, and a certain sadness.
Few people accomplish all they
seek in life. Your kids are your chance to
live on. Don't be the end of the family line, as
Morrissey sings. Maybe
it's okay for him — he's Morrissey. You shouldn't be.
Someone needs to be
there in the future to enjoy the moping of Morrissey.
Having children is pretty much
your primary life job. Get to it. And if an
adorable blonde two-year-old squealing "daddy" and running into your arms
when you get home from work isn't enough, take a darker
view: Your race is
dying, White people. Resuscitate, stat.
Do it for the rest of us. I have
never seen older White people light up so
brightly as when they see White babies and children.
You can almost hear
them thinking, "thank God there are some left."
Don't listen to those childless
Whites who proclaim that they're perfectly
happy without children. How would they know? If they were so naturally
happy, would they feel the need to point it out?
And for God's sake — dogs are
not a substitute for children. "Well, you
know, Max is really our baby," I'll hear childless White
couples say about
the Golden Retriever. No. He's not. Max may be a nice
dog, but calling
him "your baby" makes a mockery of the human experience.
4. Live in a White area.
Unless you've got a specially-tailored pro-White
urban plan (like working to influence the urban opinion machine or getting
really rich), get out of the cities. They're great
places for adventure, I
know: I lived in New York City for seven years, and liked it, for the most
part (counting the racial and Jewish reality lessons
the place taught me).
But they are no place to raise a
White family.
Steve Sailer has even shown
that they tend to choke off White families because of the costs involved.
Working and living in non-White
areas corrodes the soul. It raises the
blood pressure. You just don't get along as well with Blacks, Hispanics and
aggressive Jews as you do with your own White kind,
believe me. In White
areas, your neighbors will watch out for you. You can borrow jumper cables
from them. They can borrow sugar from you. It's nice.
It's comforting.
It's good.
It's also so obvious I wondered
whether I had to include it.
Demographically, this is what Whites do, anyway. When they seek urban
life, they sometimes head for White cities like
Portland, Oregon. Fine.
5. Get rich.
One pro-White figure of great stature recommends living off
90 percent of what you earn, and saving or investing the rest. That's a
good rule... live on a little less than what you make,
basically. Try to
stay out of debt, recognizing that education debt and mortgages are hard to
avoid for normal people. Do not live on credit cards.
Start the retirement
account early. Slow and steady wins the race. Don't put a lot of money in
cars. They're a terrible investment because they lose
value so quickly.
6. But don't let your
career overtake your life. If you're miserable on
the job, you'll be miserable, period. This is where you spend a lot of
time, even if you've managed to escape the clutches of
law firm life or some
other week-gobbling enterprise.
It sounds trite, but it's true:
Do something you enjoy, something you're
good at. It's going to take a hell of a lot of money to be satisfied with
work you don't like. What isn't true is that if you "do
what you love, the
money will roll in." Tell this to a writer. Still, better to do what you
love.
7. Consider going to
church. It would be way too hypocritical for me to
suggest a rigorous faith life for anyone, which is why I say "consider"
going to church. (If you already go, great — stick with
it.) I see a great
centering power, and hewing to Western traditional ways, in church. If
nothing else, plant your rear on a pew for an hour a
week to meditate. Even
an atheist can do that, right? In college I might have said that believing
in God was more important than going to church. I now
believe that going to
church is more important than believing in God. Just a thought.
8. Avoid drugs.
Every other White person seems to be gulping down Prozac,
Xanax, you name it. I am not a doctor, but I suspect these drugs are
heavily overprescribed. A little bit of anxiety and
depression is normal.
Deal with them by talking to friends and family, finding a hobby or talking
a walk. Maybe a little Jack Daniels if none of those
work.
9. Know your family
history. I am shocked by the number of Whites who
don't know ancestors beyond grandparents. You might find some comfort in
knowing who your ancestors were, what they did and
where they came from. I
suspect that a "who cares" attitude toward this topic is helped along by the
demonization of Whites as a people. So screw with the
system a little and
find out where your blood comes from. You might expand this to learning a
little about your race's history, from Greco-Roman
times through the
present. Your child will learn who Cesar Chavez was, but will he learn who
Charles Martel was?

Depiction of the Battle of Tours by Charles de Steuben (1834–1837). Charles Martel's army halted the expansion of Islam into Europe in 732 A.D.
10. Stand up for your
race. In ways big and small, there's something more
you could be doing. If you're looking for a cause or a purpose larger than
yourself, consider tackling the White plight. It will
not win you
admiration from the current power structure, but will give you the happiness
that comes from fighting for a real cause.
