Interracial
Perceptions and the Role of Political Theology
Tom Sunic
Although race, IQ and
heredity are of crucial importance in studying the birth and death of
civilizations, other factors, such as religion or political theology cannot be
shrugged away. There is a tendency among White nationalists and some prominent
scholars and activists to harp only on the issue of race and IQ, forgetting the
role of ideology in their study of the culture of Western suicide.
Is there a “liberal gene,”
a “communist gene,” or a “Christian gene”? Why
do millions of intelligent Whites embrace strange non-European political
theologies, even at the price of rejecting their own racial heritage?
What comes to mind is the
image of many intelligent White Americans who declare themselves Christian
Zionists, willing even to lay down their life for this Levantine faith — yet
whose beliefs are interpreted as a sign of low-IQ fanaticism by cultivated White
nationalists in Europe. For their part, over the last one hundred years, many
intelligent Whites in Europe have been intellectual slaves of the democratic
mystique and its different ideological variants — Marxism, feminism, liberalism
and multiculturalism. As two world wars have shown, the worst enemies of the
Western heritage are not just alien out-groups, but strange foreign-inspired
beliefs that permeate the West.
East European Mating
Seasons
The power of the political
myth, however aberrant it may look, often eclipses racial consciousness.
This epoch is largely passé in the case
of post-communist Europe — an area which served not long ago as a laboratory for
insane egalitarian experiments. On the
one hand, many cultivated American Whites visiting post-communist Russia are
surprised at its racial homogeneity and
at the sight of attractive Nordic-looking Russian women. On the other hand,
they are rightfully bedeviled by the poor sense of social order and absence of
civic responsibility that is typical of Russian males. In terms of physical
appearance, many White males in Russia and East Europe appear poorly groomed and
uncouth — at times behaving like low-IQ savages. A striking sight is when one
observes orderly Nordic-like cranial and facial features of White women in
Russia and compares them to many Russian males — whose phenotype makes one
wonder whether they belong to the same gene pool.
Naturally, many American
White males, disillusioned with the ideologies of liberal democratism and
feminism, not to mention the new codes of self-censorship, often find
post-communist Europe an ideal mating turf. There are racial and psychological
factors to it. These men’s political attitudes are viewed as toxic by many White
women in the increasingly inquisitorial West. Typical White women in the USA,
focused on their careers and moving up the social ladder, are hardly willing to
forfeit their inborn desire for security for a would-be White partner with
suicidal “right-wing” ideas.
By
contrast, it is virtually impossible to see a White woman in Russia or East
Europe regurgitating liberal palaver. Jokes
about Jews, gypsies and gays that would be violations of the Criminal Code in
the European Union are common currency in post-communist Europe.
Dating a Black man is very rare. Should it happen, the woman is subjected to
public opprobrium, and it may result in the beating of an out-group non-European
individual by local skinheads — of course, under cover of darkness or when a
friendly policeman on the beat turns his head away. Here’s a
political ad
from 2003 put out by Rodina, a Russian nationalist party.
The imagery of defending a Russian woman and
her baby against foreign men is quite striking. Such overt defense of White
women never surfaces in the above-ground media
in the West.
White women in East Europe — however little they may know about the power of
modern political myths, are less worried about being called a racist or
anti-Semite than most Westerners for whom being called these things is
absolutely paralyzing. In fact, very often, along with their White mates, they
will themselves complain in abrasive language and in public about real or
alleged “Jewish fraudsters
Khodorkovsky
and
Berezovsky”,
“Gypsy filth,” or “Muslim fanatics.”
This is one side of the
coin. But the other side shows blindness caused by the newly imported liberal
political theology. The power of false expectations from the concept of “rich
America” is still strong. In
particular the word ‘America’ rings a tantalizing bell among women, who project
themselves into a non-stop leisure society and who cannot imagine that their
would-be US partner may well be destitute if not dirt poor. Their sole fixation
is simple: Get out of Russia and hitch up with an American in order to get some
veneer of social prestige. Often their expectations and self-projections do not
match with reality. The genetic match may be ideal, but the in-depth cultural
bondage is often missing.
There has been a wake-up
call recently, as shown by the new joke circulating widely all over East Europe
and Russia: “Our communist hacks lied about communism, but they told us the
truth about capitalism.”
End of A Liberal
World
Another irony of history is
that the residues of social disorder and regimented lawlessness that the former
communist rulers had installed now enable the masses of East Europeans to better
retain primeval and even savage instincts of survivalism. This manifest itself
in “freedom by default,” as, for example, in the taken-for-granted license to
utter words against non-Whites that would otherwise enter into the legal
category of “hate speech” in America and the European Union.
Another historical irony is that former communist large-scale terror had led to
the strengthening of family ties and had kept traditional values of racial and
ethnic awareness better preserved than in the liberal West. No wonder that many
Westerners, even foreign diplomats, love to live and work in East Europe. They
can give free reign to their explicit
Whiteness without looking over their shoulder. For their part, most
contemporary East European citizens are fed up and exhausted with former
communist diatribes about “humanity,” and “tolerance.” Even when mimicking
liberal verbiage and even if socially well positioned, they do not hide their
irritation with Western liberal pontificators and their Jewish sponsors, as is
the case with the pervasive
Soros Foundation.
They had listened to the same fraudulent tune of “human rights” and “diversity,”
albeit in a Communist package, for well over half a century.
A long time ago, Nobel Prize winner Konrad Lorenz, the father of European sociobiology and the victim of academic boycott, noticed that less-developed humans, with lower IQ’s are better genetically equipped to weather political or meteorological storms than highly evolved yet fragile Whites. Highly refined and intelligent Whites seem to have a low threshold of tolerance for political mendacity, let alone for physical or economic pain that could result in a hypothetical state of emergency. The well-pampered White masses, predominantly of the Nordic subtype, in search of more affluent tomorrows, seem to have lost their ancient sense of defiance — still typical of modern Slavs:
The effects of luxury, produced by the
vicious circle of supply-and-demand escalation, will sooner or later be the ruin
of the Western world, particularly the United Sates.
Eventually Western peoples will no longer be able to cope with the less
pampered and healthier people of the East. (Konrad
Lorenz:
Civilized Man’s Eight Deadly
Sins,
1973, p. 30)
The
high-IQ Nordic subtype, contaminated by the liberal theology of “love thy
neighbor,” is already less resistant to chaotic circumstances than low-IQ
non-European immigrants. Alex Kurtagic describes these dark unibrow mud-like
creatures in his dystopian novel
Mister.
The notion, cherished among some White nationalists, of invincible Viking
warriors rising up and resuscitating some moribund Western Holy Grail, is a
dangerous illusion. For ancient Vikings, the specter of violent death and
communal sacrifice was quite normal — quite in contrast to modern Whites scared
to death of even minor social ostracism.
Continental Europeans and Americans are often surprised with meekish self-denial
posturing of modern Scandinavians and their fake abnegation mixed with hidden
arrogance — known as “Jante law.”
Today, this mindset means to not rock the boat of political correctness, however
much every Scandinavian knows that the oncoming disaster, brought about by
floods of non-European immigrants, is just around the corner. All over the West,
White males have become so feminized that one should not be surprised why
cunning, clandestine and criminal out-groups from Asia or Africa take them for a
ride.
Hence the reason that less
domesticated Russians and East Europeans, vaccinated for good against communist
disease, along with their primitive and often violent behavior, may be of some
service in salvaging the remnants of the Western civilization.
For
Whites in Western Europe and the USA it may be worth rejecting pious preaching
about the human rights political theology. In this sense the visionary early 20th
century French-Italian sociologist
Vilfredo
Pareto,
appears
timelier than ever before:
There are some people
who imagine they can disarm the enemy by complacent flattery. They are wrong.
The world has always belonged to the stronger, and will belong to them for many
years to come. Men only respect those who make themselves respected. Whoever
becomes a lamb will find a wolf to eat him.
(“Danger of Socialism,”
in
The Other Pareto, 1980,
p. 127)
Germans,
the most intelligent and the most civilized Western people, with exceptional
sense of self-discipline, suffered terrible revenge from the Allies in the wake
of WWII. The minute, however, they signed the surrender, on May 8, 1945, all
German military engagement immediately stopped, even the hostilities by the
well-organized paramilitary German youth,
the Werewolf.
With their exceptional
feeling for legality and respect for the letter of the law, and despite serial
kangaroo courts that have been inflicted against hundreds of thousands of German
heretics, both in the East and the West,
over the last 65 years, the German people has never ever envisaged changing the
legal status quo.
At the other extreme one
can observe how a bunch of relatively low-IQ rag-tag Islamic fanatics in Iraq
and Afghanistan, when fueled by powerful political theology, can tie down and
render ineffective the most awesome army on earth. These two examples illustrate
that high intelligence on the one hand and fine racial endowments on the other
are not enough; rather it is a belief system, regardless of how “good” or “bad”
it may be, that is crucial in firing up the masses. Why?
Over the last several
decades White conservative scholars, or proverbial right-wingers, all over the
West, have held thousands of meetings and conferences that are basically
country-club-all-White-men discussions and which are really nothing more than
preaching to the choir. No wonder that many modern Whites are often perceived as
out of touch with reality by their leftist detractors. Seldom is the root cause
of the true dissolving factor of the White in-group addressed: the theology of
liberal capitalism.
In the
liberal system, each
collective project, every transcendental feeling, such as love, friendship or
marriage, eventually turns into a perishable commodity. The all- pervasive
liberal market must follow its own self-destructive logic. The belief in the
pursuit of economic well-being becomes the only factor worth living for. How can
one then expect from an intelligent White individual or a cohesive group of
intelligent Whites to sacrifice their energy for something that transcends
economic competition?
The lack
of any transcendental purpose, other than the theology of the market, will
eventually spell the death of liberalism. The German legal scholar
Carl Schmitt,
who has also been academically boycotted as a “Nazi scholar,” understood the
self-destructive nature of the liberal political theology. The liberal system
cannot force its citizens, under any possible circumstance, to sacrifice their
lives for any projects that lie outside the realm of economics
(Der
Begriff des Politischen
(The
Concept of the Political) 1932, p. 36, trans.
G. Schwab).
However,
due to its reductionist essence, which evolves around permanent economic growth,
while rejecting any spiritual endeavor, one must never overestimate the strength
of liberal capitalism. Nor should one overestimate the importance of a high IQ
for the long term spiritual and economic success of a country. The present
liberal system is extremely fragile, precisely because its political theology
solely operates around the “religion of the Big Buck.” When its sacred economy
begins losing credibility, which is already the case, the system will break up —
with consequences unseen so far in the history of the West.
