Superiority Must Be Earned

Another Type I pathology.

If you read Coogan’s Dreamer of the Day, you will find that some Type I activists of the immediate post-WWII period attacked Yockey – a man whose valise they were not fit to carry – in deeply personal and even racial (*) terms. These people, particularly one German described as living in a filthy hovel with his children torpidly lying in bed in the middle of the day, apparently had a Negro-like sense of inflated self-esteem, most likely derived from a Guntherite conception of themselves as being racially blessed at birth by an innate aura if superiority.

I’ve said this before, but, it seems, based on typical ongoing “movement” antics, it needs to be said again: Superiority is not something an individual has as a birthright, it is something that needs to be earned.  And by “earned” I mean earned by individual accomplishment and a clearly manifested actualization of achievement.

Certainly, one can compare groups and observe that some groups are, by various standards, superior or inferior to other groups by whatever criteria are being considered. Even more fundamentally, any individual’s interests in their group’s survival and well-bring are intrinsic and not dependent on any perceptions of superiority or inferiority; genetic interests are not dependent on rankings of phenotypic attributes.

Further, stating that claims of individual superiority must be based on individual accomplishment is not some sort of anti-collectivist hyper-individualism; this attitude is wholly compatible with an individual prizing collective interests over that of the individual. But the fundamental point remains: If this issue is one of claims of the superiority of a particular individual, then the claims must be based on the characteristics, achievements, and accomplishments of that individual, not any sort of automatic birthright bestowed by the mere fact of that individual belonging to a particular ethny.

The sooner all the Type I activists in Der Movement understand that, the better.

* Available genealogical evidence suggests that Yockey was of Northwest/Northcentral European ancestry. However, since he had a “darker” “paleo-Atlantid” appearance, he was subjected to racial jibes from the early day Beavis-and-Butthead peanut gallery. The spectacle of a man like Yockey having to defend his ancestry and physical appearance is a clear demonstration of how the utter pathological stupidity of Der Movement hasn’t changed one iota in the intervening ~70 years.  It was the same back then as it is today.
