René Magritte, Not to Be Reproduced (1937)

Every human wants to physically and racially look better than he actually does; wants to date and mate with a racially better looking partner than he is; his role model must be both intellectually and racially better than himself. Even the most ardent White liberal advocate of racial miscegenation is secretly keen about grooming his progeny according to the principles of “normative Whiteness,” and it is often among those fake self-hating Whites that one comes across individuals residing in all-White communities who are putting together all-White social networks—implicit Whiteness in action.

On the other hand, there are quite a few marginal Whites, including a considerable number of White Muslims inhabiting the North African coast, all the way to Lebanon, with the bulk of them residing in urban centers of northwestern Turkey. Mostly, these are inhabitants with strong residues of the White gene pool harking back to early migrations of European tribes, to the Crusaders, and later on to the Turkish White slave trade in Europe. One could also add to the picture of marginal Whiteness the Persian King Xerxes, who was also of Indo-European origin. His powerful armies en route from Asia to Europe in 483 BC did not differ racially much from the Spartans. The Greeks, however, knew that they were not just defending their White looks and their gene pool at the Thermopylae; they defended a unique worldview and a special destiny that we call Western civilization.

Moral Choices

/187 Comments/in , /by

The recent TOO article by Dr. Lasha Darkmoon on Rachel Corrie is indicative of the emotional appeal of the Palestinian cause. There is a powerful moral message: An attractive young woman motivated by a sense of moral idealism brutally murdered while trying to help an oppressed people — people who are ethnically and religiously different from herself. On the face of it, it would appear to be a case of self-sacrificing altruism.

There are other similar examples of what Christopher Donovan labels the “Amy Biehl Syndrome,” after the young woman who was murdered by a crowd of South African Blacks she had come to help. This syndrome exemplifies the moral idealism that, while certainly not true of all Whites, seems to be far more common among us than other groups, quite possibly as concomitant of evolution for individualism among Northern hunter-gatherers.

The problem with moral universalism is that it makes it impossible to develop a similar moral sense on behalf of one’s people. As Westerners, a big part of our psychological baggage lies with post-Enlightenment universalist ideologies. They feel natural to us, whereas reasoning on the basis of what’s good for us doesn’t have any moral standing at all. It’s very difficult for us to get into the mode of “Is it good for Europeans?” Read more

On the Western Tendency to Moral Universalism

/68 Comments/in , /by

I am in the rather odd position of trying to rebut comments made in the article by Richard Spencer that I posted. But it’s a good opportunity to clarify my ideas.

Richard has two objections to my theory that individualism has something to do with the attraction of CPAC conservatives to the universalist rhetoric of rights.

First, the Japanese have excelled in the abstract logic required in advanced electronics and industrial engineering, and their economy is geared towards exporting to global markets; yet, judging by their national consensus on immigration restriction, they have little compunction in fighting for their genetic interests.

When I mentioned an attraction to abstractions, I meant moral abstractions as a component of Western individualism, not abstractions in general.  Otherwise Jews would be the ultimate moral universalists. Moral idealism is a powerful tendency in European culture, apparent, for example, in the German idealist philosophers and the American transcendentalists. (Writing a foreword for a forthcoming English translation of Vladimir Avdeyev’s Raciology [Russian edition reviewed in TOO by Dan Michaels] made me realize that idealism was a trait commonly ascribed to Nordics by racial scientists in a very influential intellectual tradition from the late 19th century until its demise with the defeat of National Socialism.) Universalist moral ideals are erected and then steps are taken to achieve the moral vision by changing the world, often accompanied by a great deal of moral fervor, as among the opponents of slavery in America and during the French Revolution (see below).

Poor Little Oppressed White People

Jamie Kelso is an unlikely manipulator of the masses, but the activist and web-radio host scored a definite coup when he was filmed engaging a group of young people at this February’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Thus far, the clip has been viewed some 30,000 times on YouTube and has even inspired a convoluted essay by a neoconservative academic.

Kelso’s arguments were sound, based in reason, history, evolutionary theory, and the natural desire to treasure one’s own. He presented a moderate, reasonable case for racialism, one noticeably lacking in the Sieg Heils, Swastika tattoos, howls of “White Power!” and other accoutrements of the far Right one sees on TV.

Not surprisingly, Kelso was denounced as a hater by a moustachioed hipster from Campaign for Liberty. He also elicited some non-sequitur responses about how it was only Democrats who supported lynching and the Ku Klux Klan, as well as bewildered stares from the smartly dressed young women hovering around him. (Even if Kelso was eventually asked to leave, one shouldn’t forget that the crowd was clearly fascinated by what they heard…. Just imagine if they had encountered Jonathan Bowden in full force, and not the unassuming Mr. Kelso.) Read more

Is Germany Getting Uppity?

Angela Merkel’s recent takedown of Benjamin Netanyahu may be a watershed. Netanyahu was working her over because of Germany’s vote on a UN resolution stating that West Bank Israeli settlements are illegal when Merkel reportedly responded, “How dare you? You are the one who has disappointed us. You haven’t made a single step to advance peace.” Needless to say, the resolution failed when the U.S. vetoed it.

Merkel also had the temerity to appoint Hans-Peter Friedrich as Interior Minister, doubtless mindful that anti-immigration sentiment is becoming politically explosive. Writing in the Financial Times, Gideon Rachman notes that Merkel “knows that anger about the EU and about immigration are … potent forces in [Germany]. [Geert] Wilders has spoken to enthusiastic audiences in Germany and the thought of a German Wilders is Ms Merkel’s ultimate nightmare.”

Friedrich immediately announced that “Islam in Germany is not something substantiated by history at any point.” He expanded: “Successful integration requires two things: knowledge of the social reality in Germany — where about 4 million Muslims live — and a clear awareness of the Western Christian origin of our culture.” Read more

A Resurgence of an Assertive English Nationalism

Guardian caption: Large numbers’ would support a far-right party, if it was not linked to violence.

A poll sponsored by the far-left magazine Searchlight has found that nearly half of the voters of England would support “an anti-immigration English nationalist party if it was not associated with violence and fascist imagery.”  (“Searchlight poll finds huge support for far right ‘if they gave up violence’“) Of course the idea that either the BNP or the English Defense League (pictured above) advocate violence is a creation of the media and the left. And since when is the Cross of St. George fascist imagery?

But the good news is that the English are waking up. Indeed, the Daily Mail article noted that 39 per cent preferred to call themselves English rather than British.  Left-wing Labour MP Jon Cruddas said there was ‘very real threat of a new potent political constituency built around an assertive English nationalism’.  48% said they would support a party that ‘wants to defend the English, create an English parliament, control immigration and challenge Islamic extremism’. ‘They would also restrict the building of mosques and order the flag of St George or the Union Jack be flown on all public buildings’.

Japan vs. America

Hiroshima, 64 years after the bomb

It seems more and more Americans are taking a sour view of the way things are going for the country — and rightly so. “By all accounts,” our editor Kevin MacDonald writes, “particularist anger is welling up in White Americans — especially among the middle and working class — outraged at the changes they see.”

Curmudgeon James Howard Kunstler has been repeating his mantra about an America in decline: “The failure of leadership extends through government to the news media to business to the universities to the courts. All authorities are suspect. All are dishonest and cowardly.”

How can one deny that the “nation” is not in free fall? It really strikes me that it’s only a matter of time before one of the critical pillars of collective life collapses and brings the whole rotten structure down around us. I mean, isn’t it obvious that the promised multicultural utopia has degenerated into a dystopian nightmare formed from what used to be our country? Read more
