A Lesson from Ivanhoe

How will we rise?  That is, if we rise.

I’ve seen the 1952 movie Ivanhoe, based on the novel of the same name.

Before I get to the lesson alluded to in the title of this post, I’ll critique the one big problem of the story – the depiction of the Jews as an unjustly persecuted people, a noble breed, more learned and sophisticated than the crude Normans and Saxons. Further, having British-American beauty Elizabeth Taylor playing a Jewess is absurd; the reality is actually this. And no, being a convert to Judaism (as Taylor stupidly was) does not count; conversion does not change your genes nor your phenotype.

That out of the way, we will now consider what I consider the real lesson of the story. The subtext of the plot is the long-simmering tension between ruling Normans and ruled Saxons in England after the Norman Conquest. The end of the movie is described by Wikipedia thus:

King Richard and his knights arrive to reclaim his throne. Prince John grudgingly kneels before his brother. Richard then calls on his kneeling people to rise, not as Normans or Saxons, but as Englishmen.

Therefore, one unified people, one nation, is forged from these previously feuding elements.  Hopefully, the analogy to the White racial situation is obvious.  

We need a leader, or set of leaders, who will call our people to rise, not as Nords or Meds or Slavs or any atomized ethnicity, but as Europeans.

We need to forge the European Nation, the Imperium of the West, out of these previously feuding elements.

That is the lesson we should learn from Ivanhoe.

Unfortunately, we are instead stuck with “leaders” who preach to us that Asians are superior to Whites in all respects.

Is it any wonder why the European race is on a collision cause with disaster and eventual extinction?

Will the lesson ever be heeded?  If not now, then when?  If not by us, then who?
