An Interesting Tidbit

Move on, move on, there's nothing to see here.  In all cases, emphasis added.

More Humphrey.  Putting aside Humphrey's particular emphasis there, what do we see? The racial situation for America was grim when that was written and far grimmer today. Why then do the Quota Queens tell us we will win and decry "blackpilling" when non-Nordicists come to the same conclusion as Humphrey? Why do Johnson and McCulloch (a Humphrey protegee) (indirectly) go back and forth as to whether the victory will take 50 years (Johnson's take) or whether that's too long to wait; e.g., McCulloch in TOO:

...it is certainly anticlimactic in the temporal sense, with a gradual process that might take fifty years, a couple of generations, or until well after those opposed to it are dead. Unfortunately, most of those who are in favor of the ethnostate, who presumably worked and fought against seemingly impossible odds to win it—and want to enjoy their victory by living in it—will also be dead. Fifty years is the life expectancy of a 29-year-old man. 

McCulloch is essentially saying he's pissed that he won't be around to see the vaunted White ethnostate. After all, what's most important is not eventually securing the existence of Europeans on the North American continent, but selfishly wanting to "enjoy their victory."

Getting back to my main point - how come realism about our plight is OK when Humphrey does it and Amren regurgitates it, but is "blackpilled" negativism when others express the same opinions?

Let's move on from that bit of "movement" hypocrisy and delve into the realm of "movement" affirmative action. In that same TOO piece, McCulloch writes:

I first met Greg Johnson in 2001 as part of a group of fifteen conference attendees having a late dinner at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. Dr. Johnson was among those seated at my end of the table. To drop two familiar names, Sam Francis and Jared Taylor were among those seated at the other end.

The Good Old (Nord) Boys Club in action. Note that Taylor (HBD "race realist") and Francis ("paleoconservative") were in a private dinner meeting with radical Nordicist McCulloch. Note also how quickly Johnson rose to be included with such "august personages" - not long after he entered the "movement." But there's no affirmative action, no siree. To understand how early 2001 was in Johnson's journey through Der Movement, see this:

While living in Atlanta, Georgia (in late 1999 or early 2000), Johnson met Joshua Buckley, a former skinhead and the editor of Tyr, a radical Traditionalist journal. In September 2000, Johnson attended a lecture given by British Holocaust denier David Irving. In late 2000, he started to think about founding his own white nationalist journal, but abandoned the idea after the creation of The Occidental Quarterly in 2001.The following year, he joined the faculty of the Pacific School of Religion as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Swedenborgian Studies. In 2007, Johnson became the editor of The Occidental Quarterly, establishing its online version in collaboration with Michael J. Polignano.

So, in 2001, Johnson was in between abandoning the idea of "founding his own white nationalist journal" and joining "the faculty of the Pacific School of Religion as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Swedenborgian Studies."  But he was at a dinner meeting with Taylor, Francis, and McCulloch (all of this assumes McCulloch's recollection is accurate; insofar as I know, neither Taylor nor Johnson has denied the accuracy of this).

Also:

From his introduction I got the impression that Dr. Johnson was an academic doing research on our movement...

That sounds strangely familiar to how Hermansson wormed his way in, including the dinner thing:

In Britain, Mr. Hermansson attended a private dinner of extremists where Greg Johnson, a reclusive leading American far-right figure who is editor in chief of Counter-Currents Publishing...

And, of course, "movement" affirmative action helped there as well:

His Swedish background also helped. Among the groups he frequented were many neo-Nazis who like fascists in the 1930s and 40s, lionise Swedes as an original "unspoilt" version of the Aryan race.

"They believed that people from Scandinavia are more racially pure," he says. "And of course, that was a myth back then, and it's a myth now… but people said to me in very clear words, 'Oh, you are the master race."

Hey, there's no affirmative action, no siree!

By the way, I was "banned" at Counter-Currents after pointing out, in a comment, the fact that "movement" Nordicism facilitated the Hermansson humiliation.  That comment, as you can see, accurately reflected reality, but was enough to get me "banned." Back to McCulloch:

...accompanied by two grad students and a London journalist who was writing a book on political fringe groups. 

I thought we were were not supposed to be "in bed with the press." I don't know the ethnic background of those "two grad students" but we can presume that the "London journalist" was of British stock (if I am wrong, then those involved can correct that error). The journalist was allowed to be there I suppose because the Quota Queens - despite protestations to the contrary - like to use the press to boost their "leadership" credentials to the rank-and-file. It is unclear from McCulloch's writing (and why divulge all of this private information - does this "name dropping" make McCulloch feel ever-so-important?) whether the "two grad students" were associated with Johnson or with the "London journalist" or were there on their own as independent entities (if so, why?). These details aside, the point remains of Johnson's remarkably rapid inclusion amongst the Grand Poobahs, independent of the "writing a book" bait of the "London journalist" (and the uncertain status of the "two grad students").

As I recall, he asked a lot of questions and did a lot of listening.

Yes, after all, anyone just starting out in the "movement" would be there to ask questions of Taylor, Francis, and McCulloch, right?

Since that introduction he has risen to a position of  prominence...

On his livestream with Dickson, Johnson denied he was the beneficiary of any affirmative action, scoffed at it, and labeled me a "paranoid piece of crap" for suggesting it. Johnson averred that he has a PhD and so his inclusion in private dinners and his rapid rise "to a position of prominence" was merely due to his own intellectual brilliance and academic pedigree.  After all, no one else in the "movement" ever had a PhD before him, amirite?

No affirmative action of course, no siree.  

A Gab correspondent who is a friend of this blog has provided more information. See this. That’s the rationale for sticking him right into the middle of Der Movement and its “leaders?”

More on Johnson’s “movement” history:

I think it was Labor Day of 2000 when I took the next step. I went out to a diner in Buckhead where David Irving was going to talk. There were people there, and some of them seemed a little like seedy haters from Hollywood central casting. But you know, I’m one of these essentially liberal-minded White people. I’m open to “the other.” 

Johnson went from that to dinner with Taylor, Francis, and McCulloch in one year. Astonishing.

Also:

This turned out to be Joshua Buckley who is the editor of the journal TYR now. He was an ex-skinhead and really, really intelligent. Pretty much self-educated. High school drop-out, highly intelligent, self-educated guy, ex-skinhead. And he was the first actual concrete person that I met who was on the Right, aside from myself and this friend of mine. I found it really eye-opening. Not just eye-opening, world-opening. This whole world opened up around me…Yeah. He introduced me to the neofolk music scene and a lot of other stuff that I thought was really fascinating. At that point, I kind of made the plunge into not just privately thinking these ideas but not doing anything more . . . Because, essentially, deep down inside I just felt it was all hopeless anyway, right? It’s like the world’s going to hell, and there’s nothing anybody can do. I actually started thinking, “Well, maybe something can be done.” So, I started educating myself and getting more into this.

From that to hobnobbing to top "movement" "leaders" in a flash. 

Re: that last paragraph from Counter-Currents, my Gab correspondent provides the following, which may in part be speculation but likely and reasonable:

Timeline:

Joshua Buckley, was the main business partner of Sam Dickson (who lives in Atlanta Georgia).

Greg meets Joshua Buckley due to shared interest in The Men Who Can't Tell Time -> Greg meets Sam Dickson -> Dickson probably introduces him to William Regenery Jared Taylor Sam Francis etc. All while Greg still posed as Randian Objectivist in public and contributed nothing to WN yet.

Even Spencer was more meritocratic as he had been the editor and writer of Takimag and The American Conservative, which he got due to his years of Conservative activism and the Duke Conservative Union. And had already had a WN website before he got Regenery money to make NPI (which made it bigger).

So, as bad and relatively meritless as Spencer’s elevation was, Johnson’s was far worse.

Johnson's rapid rise in, and maintained status in, Der Movement was for some reason not mimicked by his ex-collaborator, the wop-mick hybrid Polignano, who started in Der Movement around the same time as did Johnson.

Fancy that.

What happened to Patler? Driven to murder (or framed). Tommasi was murdered. Polignano was discussed by Forney and Friberg, re: what happened to him with Johnson. Calabro was attacked behind his back as "racially mixed" and "stealing Northern European women" (I believe his wife was Irish). Conte's throwing other wops under the bus (contrasting the "purity" of his own Calabrian mountain heritage with "mongrel" coastal Sicilians) didn't help him in the end, did it? Sallis is, of course, a "paranoid piece of crap" suffering from "insanity."

If you see any pattern there, then YOU are an "insane paranoid piece of crap."

The relevance of all of this is based on the following:

1. Racial activism for Whites, and hence White well-being, is currently predominantly associated with Der Movement, which has gone from failure to failure.

2. A significant portion of the problem with Der Movement is a failure of leadership.

3. The failure of leadership is in part due to Der Movement’s ethnic affirmative action policy.

4. Therefore, discussion of that policy is important for the future of racial activism and, hence, well-being of our people.
