Kumar and Fuentes

Considerations.

I would like to make some definitive statements on my position, re: Neil Kumar and Nick Fuentes, so that my somewhat negative views cannot be legitimately dismissed as just being from a “bitter old crank.”

First, and this should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, I have nothing personal against either gentleman. The same holds for my criticism of people on the Far Right in general, whether those are core “movement” figures (e.g., Johnson, Taylor, Spencer, Strom, and the deceased Pierce) or peripheral figures to be placed in the general Far Right but not in Der Movement itself (e.g., Kumar and Fuentes).

Kumar himself I see as having two problems. First, his ancestry. That’s no fault of his of course but is nevertheless an issue. After all, if we oppose non-European immigration into European lands, the non-European ancestry of the migrants is no fault of theirs, but it is an issue – the issue – nevertheless. Second, Kumar is associated with elements of the “movement” of which I disapprove – the Amren race realists (and he’s been supported by Counter-Currents, etc.).  Those are problems he does have control over and he has chosen to affiliate with those elements. Maybe he has no choice – maybe others would reject him because of his ancestry, but, again, the situation is what it is, even if we want to avoid pinning blame for it. So, given those affiliations, even if he was of full White ancestry, I would still have serious reservations about him and his candidacy. That he is half-South Asian only multiplies those reservations.

Nevertheless, I wish him well in his campaign, I hope he wins (however unlikely that is) and he is no doubt sincere. Again, nothing personal. Ultimately, the biggest problem with Kumar is nothing to do with himself directly, but instead it is Der Movement’s reaction to his campaign (at least the reaction of those elements to which he is associated). They promote him openly; he is in their words “our man in Arkansas.” Retards like van de Camp try to spin away Kumar's South Asian ancestry by historically and genetically illiterate ramblings about “Aryans” and Y chromosome haplotypes, trying to falsely equate Kumar’s ancestry with that of a full-blooded European. This fits into all my criticism of multiracial WN 3.0 - Rosie and the Kids White Nationalism.

The proper reaction to the Kumar campaign would be polite distance, positive commentary to the extent warranted, criticism where warranted, and wishing him well. The full embrace of this half-South Asian, and the unprincipled exception attitudes leading to absurd racial spin – I see that as counter-productive.

As regards Fuentes, putting aside questions about his ancestry, the issue is that he is, in my opinion, an immature civic nationalist, making many moronic statements and expressing dumb opinions, and the proper attitude of White nationalists toward Fuentes and America First should be – just like with the Kumar case – polite distance.  

The multiracial nature of America First alone should give pause; however, given that Amren has had a Filipina conference speaker and Der Movement embraces Kumar, then I suppose that WN 3.0 has already jumped the multiracial shark.  But in a sane movement, the multiracialism alone should be a deal breaker for any close association. That’s aside from my general opposition to “big tent” mainstreaming and close association with Alt Lite-style civic nationalists (apart from supporting explicitly pro-White White right-wing populists).

Then we have the immaturity previously alluded to.  

The legend Michelle Malkin. Can we give it up? For Michelle? Here she is—she is brilliant. She is beautiful. She is the Mommy of this movement. And nobody is going to mess with Mommy! Am I right? Nobody messes with Mommy. 

I remember when I was in my 20s. I was less mature than I am now, but there is no way I would be calling out anyone – much less an aging Filipina – as “Mommy” at a public meeting, much less a meeting of a political nature.  What kind of leader behaves like that?  What kind of followers accept it?  What kind of serious “movement” “leaders” praise it and associate with it?

Didn’t the Quota Queens learn anything from their involvement in the Alt Right fiasco?  Didn’t they learn to be skeptical of juvenile “youth culture?” Didn’t they learn not to jump on a bandwagon without knowing for damn sure that the bandwagon is not headed off of a cliff?  Don’t they have any judgment, any prudence, any reservations?  You know – the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Even if you want to label the farce of the Alt Right as a tragedy, given its very public collapse and the damage that did to pro-White activism, you must at this point realize that having the Quota Queens repeat the same mistakes with America First will indeed be a farce.

So, my attitude is this.  Best wishes to Kumar with his campaign, but I am not endorsing him, and I am keeping my distance and I am criticizing Der Movement’s attitude toward Kumar. If Fuentes is successful, fine, maybe that could do some good (or maybe not, if America First and Fuentes’ antics taint White nationalism by association), but America First and what it stands for really doesn’t have much to do with the agenda of the Sallis Groupuscule. I do think that America First will crash and burn eventually, just like the Alt Right, and it will be another humiliation for pro-White activism.

Finally, I note some incoherence in "movement" attitudes toward Kumar and Fuentes compared to other ideas they promote. For example, some "movement" "leaders" tell pro-White White Americans that if they plan to run for political office, they should not be openly affiliated with and associated with the "movement" in any way.  Now, I don't necessarily agree with that advice, particularly today, when that advice is becoming increasingly outdated as the American political scene fragments and America becomes more balkanized and polarized. But, anyway, that's their advice; I recall Hood saying that on some Counter-Currents livestream. But here comes Kumar, running for political office with various "movement" associations, and Der Movement thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread (whole wheat, not white).  So, if being a political candidate openly associated with Der Movement is all fine and dandy for the light brown goose, then why isn't it equally fine and dandy for the white gander?  Then, the same "movement" that looks benignly at Fuentes' very public antics blacklists the "insane bitter old crank" Sallis for comments written while blogging.  

Of course, this incoherence becomes much more coherent once one realizes "movement" agendas in promoting Rosie and the Kids White Nationalism (re: Kumar) and their interests in "movement" "leader" egos and revenue streams, as well as website page views (re: Fuentes). The Quota Queens will promote only those people who they see as no threat to the Queens' personal interests (including their bank accounts).
