Commercialized Amusement Business

An analogy.

Historian Harold Seymour cogently stated that professional baseball is not a sport, but rather a “commercialized amusement business.” This truth (*) applies to all other professional “sports” as well. By analogy, what else can that description apply to?

There are some who no doubt expect, or hope, that my trajectory will mimic that of Ian Jobling. First, become involved in the “movement.” Then, become a critic of the “movement” but still involved in activism. Finally, finish by dropping out of activism completely and disavowing it.

Sorry to disappoint such hopeful individuals, but…no. The essential difference is that someone like Jobling was interested in White preservation for proximate reasons. If I recall his explanation, it was that Whites are the group that best embody the liberal, Universalist, Rawlsian ethics he (Jobling) supported. I, on the other hand, am a hardcore racialist and racial nationalist, whose interest in White preservation (and advancement) revolves around ultimate issues of genetic continuity, and more important proximate interests of racial phenotypic expressions, including the extended phenotype of High Culture. My commitment is therefore existential, not an epiphenomenon of some other (liberal-based) concern.

My essential disagreement with Der Movement is that it is a pathetic failure and a farce, a fraud that actually works against these aforementioned deeply-held interests of mine regarding key issues of race and civilization.

Getting back to Harold Seymour and the analogy, Der Movement is not really a racialist political movement, but rather it is a commercialized amusement business. The Quota Queens provide entertainment for the hobbyist rank-and-file, and get in exchange all of the “D’Nations,” “membership dues,” “paywall payments,” and other perks (fame, a bit of power over their entertainment industry – e.g., didn’t Steinbrenner enjoy his power as a baseball team owner?). Now, true enough, some of the customers take things a little too seriously – Robert Mathews for example – but that happens throughout the entertainment business. There are “sports” fans that become obsessed, even violent; celebrities have stalkers; there are nerds whose lives revolve around Star Trek or Star Wars. So, why shouldn’t the “racialist” commercialized amusement business be any different? The similarities are endless. You have your stars (“rock stars” we are told, eh?), devoted fanboys, the equivalent of box scores (look at our page hits!), famous games and shows (Unite the Right), mythical figures (Rockwell as Ty Cobb, Pierce as Babe Ruth, Duke as Joe DiMaggio, etc.), we even had someone once make “trading cards” of “movement” and HBD personages.  You have your celebrity feuds and online “flame wars.” And then there are the fan conventions (American Renaissance, for example).

But, alas, I actually take all of this seriously; I demand accountability and results. I actually want a real political movement that achieves racialist objectives. That’s the real reason I’m labeled “insane” and a “paranoid piece of crap.”

Doesn’t it all make sense now?

Note:

*This is why (typically leftist) assertions that the (Colored or White SJW) players of today are superior to the (White “racist”) players of the past are essentially irrelevant.  Baseball today is painfully boring – an endless parade of home runs, strikeouts, and walks, dominated by juiced up hitters swinging wildly at juiced up baseballs and by faceless relief pitchers with surgical scars on their elbows. With respect to entertainment value, the game of the past was vastly superior to that of today, assertions (right or wrong) about "quality of play" notwithstanding.

Thus, even the crude, amateur baseball played at the Elysian Fields in the 1840s was no doubt more entertaining than what passes for “sport” played at, say, Yankee Stadium, today. Therefore, why is the latter “superior” to the former?  It is not - at least not with respect to what it actually is meant to be, entertainment.

The difference is that racial activism is supposed to be neither sport nor entertainment, but political activity with real world biocultural consequences. Thus, here, objective superiority is defined by the ability to achieve political objectives.
