Vanishing Anglo-Saxons: Jared Taylor’s White Identity and the Crisis “We” Face, Part 2
The Sin of Americanism
From birth, the American Adam was stained by the original sin of the American Republic. Loyalist writers, many of whom were royal officials or Anglican clergymen, warned that the colonial rebellion was spawning an embryonic system of anarcho-tyranny. They saw clearly that the revolutionary republic undermined “deference for established leaders and institutions.” By playing upon popular passions, radical leaders reduced the colonies to anarchy, ripe for a novel “democratic tyranny” controlled, behind the scenes, by an ambitious, avaricious, and utterly self-interested elite of so-called Patriots.
The Loyalists knew that such a regime was bound, sooner or later, to end in tears. Unfortunately, American White nationalists still invest their hopes for the future in the Patriot tradition of Constitutional Republicanism. Racial realists such as Jared Taylor also struggle to endow the cult of the Constitution with an explicitly White identity.
Indeed, almost all of the many WASPs on the alternative Right—for example, Peter Brimelow, Richard Spencer, and Greg Johnson—hope “to salvage as much as possible from the shipwreck of their great republic.” But they owe it to their Anglo-Saxon ancestors to recognize at long last that the Loyalists were right to oppose rebel colonists while defending the unity of the British race.
