White Ethnic Responsibility

Leadership needed.

It is not enough for White ethnics to oppose Der Movement. It that is all there is, then, by default, White ethnics will find themselves on the same side as the anti-White Left, essentially confirming all of Humphrey Ireland’s ranting nonsense.  Not only would such an outcome be used to retroactively justify Nordicist attacks against White ethnics, but it would be a self-destructive catastrophe in its own right. White ethnics are White, they have the same interest in White survival as do other Whites and, let us be honest, “Da Left” hates White ethnics even more than does “Der Right.”  And why should White ethnics let themselves be forced out of pro-White activism that they have every right to be involved in? Principled opposition to Der Movement by White ethnics must ultimately come from the Right – from the racial nationalist Far Right, and not from the Left, the Center, or the Mainstream Right. White ethnics need to be involved in pro-White activism, but not as part of Der Movement; the “movement” is the enemy and must be opposed as part of rebuilding the pro-White activist endeavor.

As part of this project, White ethnics need to make common cause with non-Nordicist pan-European NW Europeans – people like Yockey, Mosley, and the person who was my main collaborator on the Legion Europa project – and, together, all like-minded persons of European descent will be able to forge a movement that can win, and win for the benefit of all Europeans.

And such a movement cannot be a White ethnic-focused navel-gazing counterpart to a Nord-focused navel-gazing “movement” – it has to have an appeal to all Whites, it cannot be limited to, or described as, or characterized as, a particularistic and narrow vehicle for specific subracial and ethnic interests. A narrow focus would be making the same mistake of Der Movement, and would not in any case appeal to the broad spectrum of people we want to attract and accept. While such a movement has to be, at its fundamental core, absolutely pan-European, its opposition to divisive Nordicism (or any other such “ism”) must be defensive; that opposition is to protect the pan-European ideal, not to attack the legitimate identities and interests of different European groups (again, such an error would simply be mimicking in a variant form the basic mistake of Der Movement).

White ethnics cannot save themselves alone, and contrary to the fantasies of the Nordicists, NW Europeans cannot save themselves alone either – observe the pitiful failure of Der Movement as a prime case study of that. With respect to the White ethnics, they alone are an insufficient proportion of the population of White Diaspora nations to be effective in achieving racial nationalist goals, they have a common fate with other White groups in those nations as they belong to the same broader race and civilization and face the same threats, there has been extensive intermarriage with other White groups, and so therefore it makes no sense not to make common cause with other White groups (no sense apart from the hostile attitudes on the Right toward White ethnics - attitudes that need to be addressed, attacked, and defeated). In the European homeland, the various peoples of Europe need to make common cause as well; there are no individual nations, or little subsets of nations, that can achieve a long term final victory on their own. For example, from a Southern European standpoint, how could a racial nationalist Italy survive long term if it is sandwiched between the Global South to the South and a multiracial, multicultural, Leftist Northern and Central Europe to the North?  And who would want to allow the rest of Europe, which, together with Italy, makes up the cradle of our race and civilization, to be lost?

So, we need a pan-European movement to emerge and one in which White ethnics play a role as important as that of any other White group.

Practically speaking, the first step would be to expand a small groupuscule into an online community. Let us consider how other "movement" entities got started. American Renaissance started from a monthly (print) journal that recruited writers and built up a group of loyal readers and supporters, and eventually they had real life meetings, conferences, etc. (today, Amren is online, but still has real life conferences). Counter-Currents started as an online journal/blog, and similarly built up writers, readers, supporters, etc. The National Alliance was directly an activist organization, which was derived from Rockwell's group but more directly was derived from the National Youth Alliance; today, I believe that the American Renaissance and Counter-Currents metapolitical model is the more achievable approach to get started in building a movement entity.  Of course, in all of these cases, you had leadership that was open and overt, public figures using their own names (although Greg Johnson of Counter-Currents, with a common name in America, did hide his face from the public for many years), and those entities (particularly Counter-Currents) were able to tap into certain aspects of an already existing "movement" infrastructure (the affirmative action program being part of that).  A genuinely pan-European group, with White ethnics prominently involved, would have more difficulties getting started (as the Legion Europa failure demonstrated), but the attempt should be made.

Do I really believe that it is likely that this is going to be achieved?  Honestly, no.  In this post, I am being prescriptive, not descriptive.  It seems that no one is really interested; at least, not interested to the extent to actually do anything to actualize this vision. We need White ethnic responsibility to exercise some leadership in this regard, but, again, no one really seems to be interested. 

Der Movement has sufficient members and infrastructure to survive (albeit not prosper) with a low participation rate of people actually doing things.  However, in contrast, there are a tiny number of authentic pan-European activists (in the Anglosphere Diaspora we instead have Nordicists and in Europe we instead have petty nationalists) and, since Der Movement has done a “fine” job in alienating White ethnics, there are a tiny number of such activists involved in pro-White activism, or even merely interested in such. There is not a critical mass of potential activists for the project I propose that would allow any real optimism, a critical mass large enough so that a low participation result would still result in enough activists to make a difference. With Der Movement filling up the Far Right niche space, a healthy-sized pool of people strongly interested in an alternative would be necessary to break into that niche, and such do not exist.  

The only possibility of progress would be if a large fraction of the tiny number of current pan-European, particularly White ethnic, activists would exercise the required leadership, be active, and work to build an attractive alternative to Der Movement. We can also hope that such a project, however small; would attract new high quality people.  Or perhaps some new people will come, and some leader emerge, on their own (highly unlikely - why hasn’t it happened already?) or perhaps more likely inspired by The Sallis Groupuscule (a reason for my continuing activity despite my pessimism). Again, we need people willing to actively participate in the metapolitical and political work to build this alternative movement.  Without such, all of this is just a waste of my time and, more importantly, we (by “we” I mean all Whites) are doomed. And, White ethnics, by their inactivity, would have proved the Nordicists right.

The Sallis Vision

Endgame.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T. E. Lawrence

My critics may aver that I am always negative and do not do anything other than criticize the “movement.”  Long time readers of my work know that is not true.  Regardless, in this post, I will stress the positive, the constructive, and sketch an outline of what my endgame is. In other words, what is the Sallis vision?  What kind of state do I want to see come into being?  What kind of future do I envision for the White race?

A starting point would be to read this.

Let us proceed.

Pan-Europeanism, Political structure

Unlike the “movement” I support genuine pan-Europeanism, focusing on the interests of ALL peoples of European descent worldwide, not just some fraction thereof (i.e., Northwest Europeans only - typical “movement” Nordicism).  ALL means ALL, not just the “movement’s” favorite groups. There will be no intra-European castes, no “borderline” cases or grudging acceptances, no second or third (or worse) class status. There needs to be a clearly defined ingroup, and then the ingroup is the ingroup. All for one and one for all. If the fetishists cannot accept that, then we will not accept them.  On the other hand, the “movement’s” embrace of non-Whites (that they do while at the same time rejecting White ethnics) is not acceptable. Ourselves alone. Non-Whites have their own lands.

There will be an integrated Imperium structure, optimally consisting of all of Europe (including European Russia), as well as most or all (depending on what occurs) of Diaspora lands (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand – perhaps parts of South Africa as well).  Similar to Lowell’s Imperium vs. Dominion distinction, there will be a balance between those issues dealt with at the higher level of Imperium (high politics and grand strategy, foreign policy, military policy, large scale science and technics [including space exploration], racial policy [including immigration control as well as eugenics], pan-European cultural projects [including civilizational/High Culture issues], and whatever economic [in the broadest sense) issues arise).  On the other hand, there will be local sovereignty (Dominion) on most day-to-day issues, without the nitpicking micromanagement of the EU. National boundaries will be maintained and the demographics of nations and peoples also maintained – there will be no panmixia among the nations of Europe; local national ethnic and cultural identities will be maintained (although of course there will be some intra-European mixing in the Diaspora, as has been already occurring).

Interestingly, a Sallisian Imperium would exhibit more national sovereignty and homogeneity than the behavior of so-called ethnonationalists. My Imperium would not have non-Hungarians using Budapest as a flophouse and crash pad and would not have anti-Romanian aliens living in Romania, bedding Romanian women while attacking the Romanian people and culture. There will be none of the ethnomimperialist hypocrisy of "ethnonationalist sovereignty and homogeneity for me but not for thee." The Imperium would be a Confederation of European peoples and nations.

The underlying political structure will be of a National Socialist/fascist type, but with a sane and flexible manifestation (see below).  Aspects of “totalitarian democracy” can be useful here.

Sanity and flexibility

National Socialism and fascism are linked in the popular mind to war, concentration camps, secret police, cults of personality, etc. I propose a “sane” form of National Socialist fascism in which war is restricted to self-defense (or some other type of defense of vital interests), order is maintained as reasonably as possible, freedom is maximized to the extent possible while maintaining collective action, and the Imperium is managed by a leadership cadre rather than some personality cult "Fuhrer.”

This form of government needs to be flexible enough to conform to the particularities of specific national cultures and mores.  For example, Russian national socialism, or that of many continental European nations, could be somewhat more authoritarian that that of Anglophone countries, where the populations and political culture has always been characterized by a greater degree of personal freedom and balance of power within the government.  The former nations would also tend to be more amenable to a highly centralized national government, while the latter may be more comfortable with a degree of decentralization. In all cases, the same basic ideology and the same political foundation would apply, all ultimately overseen by the Imperium’s elite, but in the degree of local sovereignty there would be the aforementioned flexibility in precisely how the political control would manifest.

Race and eugenics

The state would be for people of European descent only; in Europe in ethnically homogeneous states, and in the Diaspora in the mixed European states that exist, but with all non-Whites removed. Eugenics would be practiced, but in a sane and responsible way, preserving national identities and genetic interests to the extent possible, and rejecting rapid “transhumanist” changes. Populations do change over time due to a variety of reasons even in the absence of mass migration (e.g., from selection and/or genetic drift) and these mechanisms are wholly compatible with genetic interests in evolved populations (indeed, such interests are tied to adaptive fitness, which at times requires some changes in genotypes/phenotypes). Thus, a prudent eugenics policy that is also broadly preservationist is reasonable. See this on Yockeyian Genetics. I agree with Strom, racial purity is something to strive for in the future, it is not something that existed in a mythical past.

Ethics and morality

We need to build The New Man:

And it is even more salient today. If there is ONE single thing I would advise White racial activists to do today, it would be to emphasize, to focus on, character and moral rebirth, to focus on The New Man.  With that, anything is possible. Without that, nothing is possible. Although ideology, science, intelligence, strategy, et al. are all crucially important, they take a back seat to character and moral integrity.  You cannot build a worldwide revolutionary movement on a foundation of quicksand; you cannot build a victorious movement on a foundation of freaks, grifters, phonies, frauds, the morally defective, perverts, liars, gaslighters, deranged fetishists, tin-foil-hat conspiracy theorists, individuals with all sorts of completely superfluous hang-ups and bizarre theories, weaklings, traitors, and all the rest. We have to remake ourselves before we try and remake the world.

The New Man will be the foundation of the moral and ethical state:

There needs to be a moral structure to the state, independent of pure adaptive utilitarianism. Now, that moral structure can (and should) be used instrumentally to favor adaptive, EGI-focused ends. But the moral structure should exist not only for the purpose of promoting a racial state and for making the pursuit of EGI, of adaptive fitness, more palatable to the population – keeping in mind that humans are apparently evolved to benefit from some sort of religious/spiritual beliefs – but has benefits in its own right. Indeed, there needs to be a balance between a "pure ethic" of unrestrained pursuit of genetic interests, and morality that constrains the unrestrained pursuit of absolute EGI, a pursuit that can lead to “maladaptive genetic atomization.”....

…What can we say about this sense of morality?

Morality can be independent of religion, although, historically, in the Western civilization (and in Late Antiquity), The Moral State was associated with Christianity. Readers of this blog know that I am hostile to Christianity. However, there are certain elements in (Europeanized) Christianity that can be of benefit to society if – and only if – these ideals are limited to one’s own people, rather than to all of humanity (in other words, particularism vs. universalism), and are tempered by adaptive interests and pragmatic prudence.

Science and Technics, Futurism, anti-Traditionalism, but with maintenance of Humanity

Readers know I strongly support science and technics, embrace Futurism, and loathe “Traditionalism.”  The Sallisian state would look to the future, not to the past, and would enthusiastically support advances in science and technics and indeed all in forms of knowledge. The stupid embrace of “Traditionalism” by the “movement,” if manifested in a state system, would result in Luddite backwardness, the destruction of the hope for a brighter tomorrow, eliminate the possibility of a higher humanity, and leave us at the mercy of enemies, like the Asians, who have no scruples in using whatever techniques to achieve power and domination. Thus, “Traditionalism” is a deadly danger.

But there is another danger – that of hyper-rationality, of becoming so obsessed with science and, especially, technics, that we lose our humanity, confusing means with ends.  And here I do not only mean "transhumanism” or “AI takes over and kills off humanity” scenarios, but also Last Man” outcomes such as in The Machine Stops, or the cost of hyper-rationality in the “tale of the machines” in Gene Wolfe’s The Book of The New Sun -see here:

To paraphrase and summarize – humanity reached the stars by giving away the wild part of themselves – essentially becoming emotionless technocrats – and then the thinking machines (AI), who hated their human creators, decided to ruin those human creators by re-introducing to humanity paradigms that would rekindle humanity’s interest in those “wild things.” Thus, humanity became distracted away from pure science and technics and the galactic empire collapsed.  The lesson here is that – besides not trusting AI – humanity should not give up its “wild” side, its human soul, for the sake of technology; instead, humans need to achieve their objectives – “reach the stars” – while remaining fundamentally human. Thus, in relation of Heidegger’s whining, we need not become entrapped into a technological spiritual mindset – pure instrumentality – in order to “be scientific.”  On the other hand, we cannot evade the price that must be paid for science and technology – while science is a tool, it is an expensive tool, and what has to invest in a degree of rationality and empiricism to achieve science and technics. One must strike a balance – the mind must be scientific while the soul remains human.  But we cannot hide in the hobbit hole, while others reach the stars. The White Man cannot give up his Faustian birthright because of fearful, backwards-looking traditionalists. 

We must remember that science and technics are tools. And, we must also remember that we cannot derived values from tools. Our values must derive from our humanity, our reality as evolved organisms, and our sense of morals and ethics.  Science and technics must be used to achieve those values, but they are not the values themselves.

High Culture

One of the major components of the confederation-wide activity is constructing new cultural artifacts, particularly those of a pan-European civilizational High Culture nature. And, consistent with my Overman High Culture essay, one key component of this is to transition through the Spenglerian cycle, from the (probably, but not definitely) exhausted Western Faustian High Culture to a new High Culture, one suitable for the tasks at hand for European Man.

The rigid, dogmatic Spenglerians will screech and cry that the birth and direction of a High Culture is a purely innate, organic process that cannot be planned and directed by human effort. That will be doomed to failure, they aver, and they would gibber about pseudomporphosis and the like, claiming that any attempt to guide the creation of a High Culture would distort its expression.  Needless to say, I disagree with that view. 

It would seem that an examination of the beginnings of the West calls the rigid Spenglerian view into question. It was not inevitable that Christianity would come into being and, once it did, that it would eventually become the faith of the Roman Empire of Late Antiquity.  If that did not occur, then the history of the West would have been radically different. Even if the Western Roman Empire still fell, which likely it would have done eventually, and even if a new “Faustian” Western High Culture came into being, that new High Culture would have been significantly different had Christianity not been an integral part of it.  Indeed, was Christianity a Magian pseudomorphosis of the Western High Culture?  In any case, the fact that the West has been Christian was not an inevitable part of its organic growth, but a characteristic contingent upon certain specific historical events – accidents of history one might say – and decisions made by specific individuals, such as Roman emperors. So, if something as fundamental to the Western High Culture as European Christianity was a result of human decision and historical events, then why can’t the direction of a future European High Culture also be similarly modulated by human decision and historical events (events themselves of course affected by human decision)?  This is particularly so given that we today are conscious of the Spenglerian paradigm, a situation that obviously did not exist in the past.

I would like to believe that the sort of state that would come into being would manifest thus:

…Our European Mission is to create the Culture-State-Nation-Imperium of the West, and thereby we shall perform such deeds, accomplish such works, and so transform our world that our distant posterity, when they behold the remains of our buildings and ramparts, will tell their grandchildren that on the soil of Europe once dwelt a tribe of gods. - Francis Parker Yockey

Hard Truths About Der Movement

Face reality.

Someone else gets it!

Melanie

I don't understand the Slant eyed oriental phillia on Amren. Dear ladies and gentlemen, East and South Asians are not your friends or brothers in the struggle just because you share certain traits or are attacked by the same groups. If anything Asians (especially the Han Chinese) are far more ruthless and efficient than blacks when it comes to their covert hatred for whites. They are also definitely not white adjacent. They are our enemies and rivals. Europeans/ Whites have our own culture, religion and trajectory. Asians are not part of it. Period.

A response to that good sense: 

Dear Melanie,

For your understanding, consider the possibility that Amren is motivated by aesthetic preferences for high IQ Asians who play the violin and are “law abiding” and for high IQ erudite cosmopolitan Jews who are ever-so-charming at cocktail parties, and also motivated by crude ethnic resentments against “uncouth” White ethnics. That would explain much, wouldn’t it?

Best, Ted

Der Movement’s profound lack of interest about the paper discussed here essentially reveals some hard truths about the “movement” – it is, and always has been, a scam, and not only because of the money-hungry grifters running the show deluding poor fools that giving D’Nations actually accomplishes anything. It is also a scam because its alleged fundamental premise of supporting White nationalism is a lie. Look, if Der Movement was “on the level” then the Stable European Population Structure paper should be music to their ears, since it refutes the Left’s assertions that massive demographic change (at least for Whites) is normal and inevitable and such has always been a part of Europe’s history.  No, the actuality is that despite whatever demographic events that have occurred, they have been so limited in scope that the basic population structure of Europe has been mostly unchanged for the last 3,000 years.  Therefore, the current demographic crisis is unnatural and it is not inevitable; indeed, it is ahistorical, abnormal, and it is being imposed – The Great Replacement.  

All good, right?

But, you see, that was never Der Movement’s main interest. This paper – and other archaeogenetics papers ignored by Der Movement – refutes the REAL ideological foundation of the “movement” – Nordicism, NW European self-worship, and ethnic resentments against Southern and Eastern Europeans.  The paradigms of “Nordic Rome became populated by Levantine mongrels and those self-same mongrels are precisely the modern greasy Afro-Arabic Afrowop” and “Nordic Sicilians became Negro mulattoes from the Moors” and “Eastern Europeans are essentially Asiatic Turkics and Mongols” and “Northern and Western Europe was always absolutely racially pure from the earliest mists of time” are disproved by this paper, and by other papers analyzing real ethnic and racial histories. Therefore, even when a paper strongly supports the idea that modern Europeans are indigenous and represent similar stocks to the ethnogenesis of thousands of years ago, that paper must be ignored if it doesn’t support the idea that the Ancient Romans were genetically Scandinavian and looked like Dolph Lundgren, while the modern Italian is akin to a 50:50 mix of Nigerians and Iraqis.  If the paper suggests that non-European migrants were in Northcentral/Western Europe in ancient times, just like in Italy, but in both cases there was no permanent significant demographic change, then the paper must be ignored by Der Movement.  It doesn’t matter if the paper as a whole strongly supports a White nationalist narrative, because Der Movement was really never about White nationalism. The truth about Der Movement is thus exposed; the scam of Der Movement becomes evident.

There is no White nationalism extant in any established “movement” today, it is a fraud, at least in America.  If you want genuine White nationalism, and you should, you are going to have to build it yourself. I keep on offering the Sallis Groupuscule as a foundation for such a project, but no one is interested.  Enjoy being scammed, then.

The Old New Right

The other major problem with the System’s Jew-led New Right.

Consider this Counter-Currents article on what the System is terming The New Right, a heavily Jewish (and NW European-descended conservative “junior partners”) bunch of ideologically aracial reactionaries. Counter-Currents identifies the major problem of this New Right in that it ignores the issue of race. Very well, I agree. But there’s another problem, which in my opinion is of equal importance .Let’s look at the quote, reproduced in the Counter-Currents article, from the original Vanity Fair piece that describes this New Right:

The podcasters, bro-ish anonymous Twitter posters, online philosophers, artists, and amorphous scenesters in this world are variously known as “dissidents,” “neo-reactionaries,” “post-leftists,” or the “heterodox” fringe — though they’re all often grouped for convenience under the heading of America’s New Right. They have a wildly diverse set of political backgrounds, with influences ranging from 17th-century Jacobite royalists to Marxist cultural critics to so-called reactionary feminists to the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, whom they sometimes refer to with semi-ironic affection as Uncle Ted. Which is to say that this New Right is not a part of the conservative movement as most people in America would understand it. It’s better described as a tangled set of frameworks for critiquing the systems of power and propaganda that most people reading this probably think of as “the way the world is.” And one point shapes all of it: It is a project to overthrow the thrust of progress, at least such as liberals understand the word.

So, putting aside the ethnoracial provenance of some of these New Right adherents, and putting aside the race issue, what do we see? They are a grouping of “neo-reactionary” conservatives, some of whom admire Ted Kaczynski of all people (“whom they sometimes refer to with semi-ironic affection as Uncle Ted”) and who, to paraphrase Buckley, they are a gaggle of backward-looking “traditionalists” who want to stand athwart history yelling STOP! – to “overthrow the thrust of progress.” To summarize – they are reactionary conservative traditionalists – all of which the Sallis Groupuscule despises and opposes.

I have said it before and I’ will say it again – you are not going to attract quality people and inspire them to fight, inspire them to self-sacrifice, with a vision of “standing athwart history yelling STOP!”  The Left is successful for many reasons, but certainly one major reason is that it is progressive, forward-looking, it inspires its followers with an utopian vision of a better tomorrow, it doesn’t look backward to some mythical Golden Age, harkening to a return to a dead past, promoting a Bring Out Your Dead ethnostate with people living at a 14th century level of existence, a feudal hierarchy with the masses cowering “snug in their hobbit holes.” You are not going to defeat leftist progressive ideals with right-wing reactionary defeatism. An idea can only be effectively countered by a better idea, and returning to the dead past, turning back the clock of progress, is not a better idea; it is hardly a serious idea at all. It is juvenile, unrealistic, romantic nonsense; it is an “ideal” doomed to defeat and death at birth.

Successful popular support for Far Right movements historically manifested in European fascism of the first half of the 20th century. According to Marxist historical interpretation, and System dogma (really the same thing), fascism is “reactionary,” but that is not supported by an objective analysis. If a core characteristic of fascism is palingenesis, then that is hardly reactionary. Italian Fascism may have talked about the Roman Empire, but it was strongly influenced by the Futurist Movement and was likely the most ideologically and culturally futurist of all of the major European fascisms. German National Socialism may have been somewhat more reactionary than Italian Fascism in certain ways, but we cannot forget that at its core, National Socialism was a revolutionary movement, eschewing conservatism and monarchy, and building a racial state that combined political hierarchy with relative class egalitarianism.  Note that the successful mass movement in Germany was National Socialism, not the so-called “conservative revolutionaries (sic).” The Legionary Movement’s New Man looked forward, not backward. Neo-reaction is a cul-de-sac, dead-end defeatist nonsense. Is it an intentional diversion? The fundamentals of any New Movement must include a futurist mentality. We must oppose reactionary traditionalism.

The racial state is not enough. The racial-cultural state is better, but is still not enough.  We need the racial-cultural-ethical state, a moral state as I discussed at Western Destiny, a forward-looking entity based on a reimagining of Man, as exemplified by the Legionary movements focus on developing The New Man as the basis of a Romanian Legionary state.

The racial-cultural-ethical state, the moral state, based upon The New Man and new ethical-moral-philosophical standards, overturning the established order, is a revolutionary entity, and it is not going to come about from “neo-reaction” or “traditionalism” or from freaks reading Savitri Devi “snug in their hobbit holes.” Being focused on race is necessary but not sufficient. The System’s New Right fails in that regard, but the “movement” equally fails by being equally reactionary, an amoral, if not immoral, and unethical entity ill-suited to bring about radical change and ill-suited to defeat the Revolutionary Left by countering with a Revolutionary Right.  Thus, a complete criticism of The New Right also, by necessity, brings with it a criticism of the “movement.”  A pox on both their houses.

America is Ready for Some Movement Reality

A riposte to a Counter-Currents article.

First, Robert Wallace:

Your pessimism is simply not grounded in reality, my friend. I suggest you listen to my radio interview and refer to the original article and its comment section. No one has come up with a convincing case against Greg and I yet.

Excuse me you mendacious moron, Greg Johnson censors and bans people from his blog and refuses to debate people who could "come up with a convincing case against Greg and I."

It’s real easy to say opponents don’t have a “convincing case” against you when you ignore said opponents, refuse to engage with them and debate them, and censor/ban them from commenting on your website. Under those conditions, you’ll find a lack of effective ripostes, no doubt.

As we can see, character is not a strong point in Der Movement.

To the essay:

American patriots are hungry for white identity politics. It was inevitable. White nations are being wrecked by non-whites acting as tribal blocs. Whites are being attacked as a tribal bloc. Eventually, whites will start fighting back as a tribal bloc.

Sure!  I have been hearing that now for only twenty-five years now.  See this, which is several years out-of-date already.  White folks are waking up!  They need to wake up a bit faster, since they’ve hit the “snooze” button for at least the last quarter century.

Whites have been slow to respond in kind because of traitorous leaders and the silly idea that identity politics is bad, but only for white people. 

Yes, and also because the pro-White “movement” (Der Movement) has been an utter and complete failure, led by affirmative action grifters and populated by a bunch of freaks.

Still, it was only a matter of time before white Americans woke up and started fighting back as whites. Polling data now shows that the awakening is here:[material deleted]

You can read that alleged evidence and the links in the original Counter-Currents article. The details really aren’t all that important, since typical and predictable Der Movement failure will, with clockwork regularity, waste the opportunity, and, once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The people who are most surprised by this are long-time white advocates, some of whom have been predicting for decades that such an awakening is inevitable. 

Yes, indeed, we’ve been hearing this for decades and it is tiresome.

It is true that white identity was almost nonexistent as recently as the 1990s. 

Were you involved in Der Movement in the 1990s? “Almost nonexistent” is a vast exaggeration. It was less than today - that is true enough. But "almost nonexistent?"

But due to Obama, Trump, Black Lives Matter, the Great Replacement, and open anti-white hatred, whites have caught on to their group interests. 

Really?  Yes, I know opinion polls and other pieces of evidence are moving somewhat in that direction.  But to conclude that “whites have caught on to their group interests” is delusional.  This is the result of people in their little cul-de-sacs, fueling their beliefs, and reading too much into an uptick in White disillusionment, which may or may not be permanent.  If “whites have caught on to their group interests” Trump would have won in 2020 (putting aside accusations of election fraud), and Whites would be more actively resisting the Left.  Further, the “whites have caught on to their group interests” is not evenly distributed among the White population. Such a “catching on” is enriched among less educated, working class, red state Whites, and less extant among educated professionals. I can tell you that the antics of the pro-White “movement” have alienated STEM people. There is a vicious cycle in which the subset of Whites that Der Movement focuses on, and the behavior of Der Movement, alienates other elements of the White population, including elements that will ultimately be required for eventual victory. The more those people are alienated, the more we have pro-White Whites being concentrated on the aforementioned red state elements (think FOX News viewers and Gab users), resulting in more alienation of others, etc. This is not a blueprint for success.

This will only intensify as white Americans continue to be assaulted, and there is no reason to think that our enemies have the foresight and self-control to moderate their attack.

Perhaps. It may be that those “enemies” have at least a vague, even unconscious and incoherent, understanding of Suvorov’s Law – of they pull back and moderate, this would empower the pro-White side and give pro-Whites legitimacy and momentum.

Of course, this awakening is a cause for celebration for white advocates. 

Of course – the typical victory psychosis of Der Right. Prematurely celebrate false, empty victories.

But we can’t rest on our laurels. 

Particularly since you haven’t actually accomplished anything yet.  All of the “good news” - to the extent it is real - has come from sociopolitical trends and events that Der Movement had little to nothing to do with.

Now is the moment to push harder than ever. 

Yes, more Pepe and Kek, more Spencer screaming, more Gaslight Greg fundraising, more $340K “executive compensation” for Mophead, and more multiracial Rosie and the Kids White nationalism.

Although white Americans are hungry for our message, in the upcoming elections, the Republican Party and conservative movement are poised to harvest white discontent–and then channel it into more business as usual: tax cuts for billionaires, giveaways to Our Greatest Ally, Platinum Pandering to non-whites, and color-blind civic nationalism for whites. 

And that’s exactly what will happen. The safety valve will release some White discontent, Bubba Gabster will declare victory, and Der Movement will gibber about “Savitri Devi,” Kali Yuga,” and being “snug in your hobbit hole.”

But responding to anti-white identity politics with Republican pabulum is like taking a knife to a gunfight. 

This Wallace seems like a relative newcomer to Der Movement who breathlessly prattles trite memes like this, commentaries that some of us have been hearing for decades.

It is time to face the truth: these people promote a losing strategy because they want us to lose. Stop listening to them.

Yes, but it is not only Republicans who fit this description. What about the Grand Poobah Quota queens.

What should white advocates do?

Drop Der Movement and join with reasonable activists to build a New Movement.

First, we need to keep promoting our message…

More of the same, more of the same endless failure, freakish behavior, and other nonsense. And of course, send more money to the Quota Queens.

…whites are being attacked as whites, and we need to defend ourselves as whites. 

More of the same old message. Forget about the last quarter century, Der Movement has been saying these things since at least the days of Rockwell.

When the Republicans are swept back into power in November, millions of whites will want to go back to sleep. 

Most likely they will.

We won’t let them.

How?  By repeating the same old tired phrases?  By the same old dogma?

Second, although we have made enormous gains in the battle of ideas…

Evidence?  And don’t cite opinion polls – that has more to do with “Obama, Trump, Black Lives Matter, the Great Replacement, and open anti-white hatred” than any ideas percolating from the utterly failed “movement.”

…we need to convert public opinion into political gains. 

Again, how?  Look at the Trump failure. What is going to be different this time?

Thus the next step is to create a policy institute with two primary goals.

1. More money for Greg?  2. More money for Greg?

First, white identity politics currently exists as a mere “specter,” a bogeyman evoked by the establishment. 

Finally, some truth in this essay.

To turn that specter into a real political force, we need to know how many of us there are, where we are, and how committed we are. 

Yes, and decades of work and millions of dollars of “D’Nations” and you guys still don’t know that and I’m sure you will continue not to know it.

Only then will our votes matter as much as our ideas.

Sure. How do do it?  Talk is cheap.

Second, we need to propose concrete policy solutions to counter the negative effects of globalization and multiculturalism.

Again - and decades of work and millions of dollars of “D’Nations” and here we are in the year 2022 and we are told by this person who has suddenly emerged on the scene that we need “concrete policy solutions.” Gee… wasn’t that what the National Policy Institute was supposed to be about?  Tell me again what credentials and qualifications Dickie Spinster has to be made the leader of that.

I see nothing in this piece that hasn’t been repeated previously and has ended up resulting in nothing.  But, hey, we can be open-minded; if this new institute does some good, great, but I suspect it will be a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Listen to this nonsense.

We need fundraising!  Of course!  Fifty million dollar investment!  Lots of movies for Trevor Lynch! Prospective donors get in touch!  Money, money, money!

Wallace wants to monopolize all support and investment into a SINGLE organization – Counter-Currents’ organization of course. I oppose that completely – Counter-Currents is the enemy of the sort of White nationalism I support; Johnson and Counter-Currents are a pernicious influence, and they must be unalterably opposed, and their agenda of putting all pro-White eggs in their destructive basket must be fought in an unrelenting manner.

The idiots claim that in the 1990s there was no white identity politics or racial friction except in…Louisiana.  Can you believe that utter nonsense?  What about the racial tensions in major cities dating back at least to the 1960s?  Well, since much of that involved White ethnic-Colored friction and since Der Movement considers White ethnics more of a problem than Coloreds, then it makes sense.

Note the “take” on Trump. They say Trump was a fraud who did nothing for Whites, but Wallace points out that Trump, with his rhetoric, helped with metapolitics, essentially balkanization and stimulating White recognition of interests. That is 100% on accord with what I have been saying since 2016, and 100% against Johnson’s idea that Trump is a sincere man of genuine greatness. Wallace says that Trump helped the “movement” – I agree, the idea that the “movement” helped Trump is a delusion.  Der Movement benefited from Trumpism. It was a one-way street.

Gottfried like a father to Wallace – is Wallace someone you can trust?  And both of them stress that they are not critiquing the average Jew in the street (their words) - they are only against "Jewish power" (which comes from where? doesn't the average Jew in the street support that Jewish power?).

This is all actually another black mark in Spencer's ledger - his complete failure with the National Policy Institute (NPI) left the opening for Johnson to move in with his own project.  If NPI was a robust enterprise, it would have filled the "movement" organization niche space and left no room for this aggressive power play by Counter-Currents to monopolize the ideological, political, and activist energies of the "movement."

An institute that promotes destructive ideas and that monopolizes the niche space, inhibiting the emergence of potentially superior competitors is obviously a negative, and worse than not having any institute at all. We have to wait and see what this institute does and if there is anything positive, fine, support it, but if not, if it is negative, then it must be opposed as the perfidious infestation it may very well turn out to be.

Given that this is coming from Counter-Currents, the low point, the pit, of Der Movement, can you trust what they would do?  Consider their constant dishonesty; the following is just one small example of many. More lies from Counter-Currents. No, mendacious Counter-Currents scum (more succinctly: Counter-Currents), in the early days of covid the System was NOT telling us we were all going to die. Instead, all of them, including weasel Fauci, was telling us that covid was no big deal, concern about it was xenophobia and anti-Asian racism (a point the HBD-addicted pro-Asian "movement" would like to forget), and that we should all go to Chinatown and patronize Asian establishments. At that time, it was Trump and the Right ringing the alarm bells, while Trump was denounced as a xenophobic germophobe for stopping travel from China. Then at some point, someone must have planted the idea with Trump that worry about covid would tank the economy and ruin his re-election chances, He started dismissing the importance of covid, at which point the anti-Trump hysterics of the Left changed direction completely and fixated on covid as an INTERNAL threat, targeting coloreds. That's the real time line, and don't rewrite history to match your hobbit hole Luddite conspiritard narratives. The whole covid thing was politicized from day one, but the simplistic narrative that the Left/System was always hysterical about covid is WRONG. Counter-Currents lying scumbags.

As to why Der Movement always has these problems - I have discussed many reasons at my blog, including but not limited to the affirmative action, faulty dogma, grifter and freaks, etc.  But also consider what I term The Bel Riose Syndrome. People in power do not like, indeed, fear, subordinates who are too competent - the see those subordinates as potential rivals and threats; at the very least, when the subordinate is more capable than the leader, it makes the leader look bad by comparison, diminishing that leader's legitimacy. So, the competent and the independent-thinking are eschewed, and mediocre sycophants are the best you get.

Happy New Year 2022

2022.

Happy New Year!

I'm not going to make any New Year's Resolutions here, as my ability to achieve some of my objectives, or even to do certain specific things, is constrained, at least in part, by forces and events beyond my control.

I will say that, in 2022, I would like to sharpen my critiques and deconstruction of Der Movement, while continuing to lay the foundation for a New Movement to supplant the Old.

Other news:

Just like I predicted, and advocated, for the end of the Alt Right disaster, I now do the same for the Amnat Groypers. That retarded stupidity can't exit the activist stage quick enough.

A Gab correspondent who is a friend of this blog alerts me to this. Well, gee, Andy, that does sound familiar. I've said the same, with almost the exact phrasing - what? - maybe a hundred times already at this blog, and many times at my Gab account.  Well, since that's the Sallis refrain, I obviously agree.  I certainly don't want to be in the same "tent" with Torba.

Another Gab correspondent who is a friend of this blog alerts me to Counter-Currents O’Meara expressing himself:

James J OMeara

@JohnRivers whatsa madda you, you racist or something? Itsa mah CULTCHA, we gotta be close, be intimate. We ain't cold duck like you WASPS. Next you'll be saying we shouldna been let, like that Sen. Geary, and you know whata happa to hima.

But, hey, to say that Der Movement is hostile to wops is just "insane" nonsense from "paranoid crap." In any case, Counter-Currents supporters take note. Further, I understand that we cannot all be as sexually repressed as "cold duck" WASP Bill Clinton, a man noted for his Puritan-like personal behavior. 

The Autright blog is yet another critic of the dastardly Ted Sallis; Autright claims that I consider even mild criticism of Southern Europeans, other than my own, as Nordicism. Thus:

Now, lets talk about all the beneficial circumstances Mediterranean Europeans had that led to the development of classical civilization. Of course not, that would be "Nordicism" as Sallis has a tendency to categorize even mild criticisms or quips towards southern Europeans, unless they are his own, as "Nordicism".

No, actually, an honest appraisal of my views would be that I consider continuous severe criticism of Southern Europeans, often factually incorrect and/or misleading, in the absence of a similar level of (even factually correct and mild) criticism of Northern Europeans, to be Nordicism. On my blog, I criticize every group, when it is justified to do so; Nordicists only critique groups other than their own.  

This anti-Sallis criticism was provoked by a Gab comment I made citing an article discussing certain geographical advantages (e.g., coal deposits) that facilitated the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Autright must be a relative newcomer to Der Movement if he doesn't know that a common "movement" trope, something we've all heard for decades, is to ascribe the development of the Classical Civilization to climate and geographical advantages in the Mediterranean region. Thus, those greasy wogs had nice warm weather to create civilization and spread it around the Mediterranean basin, while Nords were shivering in the cold. The "movement'" essentially says that the accomplishments of Southern Europe were due to external factors, such as climate and geography, while the accomplishments of Northern Europe were due to the innate superiority of the people of that region. So, with respect to "lets talk about all the beneficial circumstances Mediterranean Europeans had that led to the development of classical civilization," I direct you to the last half century of "movement" discourse. Been there, done that.

The Gab post that triggered Autright's comment was primarily to mock and ridicule Der Movement's hypocrisy on the topic. To put it in Alt Right/Millennial language, it was "trolling." This ridicule is justified given "movement" hypocritical dogma (or is it dogmatic hypocrisy?). As The Hermansson Humiliation clearly demonstrated, the fundamental foundation of Der Movement is worship of Nordics (just like HBD is based on worship of Jews and Asians). That is the milieu that the "movement" operates in, which is why some people become upset when that dogma is challenged

In truth, while I believe that external factors, like geography, do influence human history to some degree, I still put innate human qualities at the forefront. The people of Britain had a number of admirable human qualities that made the Industrial Revolution possible. The coal helped, but sub-Saharan Africans could be sitting on a mountain of coal and they would just be sitting around eating each other. All of the uranium in Africa certainly hasn't resulted in nuclear reactors being developed there, did it?

But, then, if we accept all of that, then Der Movement's assertion that the accomplishments of Southern Europe were all due to a favorable climate, Mediterranean sea access, or whatever other external factor, is equally suspect. I won't even bother answering the canard that the Classical Civilization was "Nordic" - if anyone still believes that, then they are as delusional as the blank slatists.

And what's with all of the interest in inter-racial differences in masculinity? As others have suggested, the interest in these topics among WN 2.0 and WN 3.0 might be a generational thing concerning Millennials and Zoomers; I personally do not see the reason to obsess over issues of masculinity and talking constantly about "incels" and the like. Ultimately, this is the result of HBD. I don't recall WNs bringing up this subject. It was due to people like Rushton and his cherry picked "French Army Surgeon" material on penis size and all of the sweaty HBD commentaries on Negro testosterone levels and Steve Sailer's excited interest in Negro "charisma" and the like.  Nords, Meds, Slavs, whatever - your enemy is HBD.  "Race realism" is not racial science; it is a bunch of crap that openly identifies as "Yellow Supremacist" while also lauding Jews, and to buy into Rushton's r-k spectrum (that does have some validity in its broadest strokes, but gets taken too far), we have to accept the IQ-manliness trade-off, so if we say Negroes are stone-cold stupid, then they are, in compensation, big-dicked, high-t, macho supermen. I think folks should worry more about the type of poison propagated at Amren, VDARE, and elsewhere than one of my trolling Gab comments. The difference is that the HBDers aren't trolling, they're serious.

Social Disruption, Social Change

Opportunities and failures.

See this. The topic of that essay can considered in two ways, re: pro-White activism.  First, we can consider how racial nationalist dissident politics can contribute to and/or take advantage of societal disruption to lead to revolutionary change in society favoring White nationalism.  Second, we can consider how anti-Der Movement forces within racial nationalist dissident politics can contribute to and/or take advantage of intra-“movement’” “societal disruption" to lead to revolutionary change within White nationalism itself.

The core characteristics of the kind of disruption I’m describing, as we’ll see in the historical episodes that follow, are that it: 1) stems from a loss of faith in a society’s central institutions…

It is quite clear that there is an increasing loss of faith in the System’s “central institutions.” Indeed, this David Potter essay is warning about precisely that, from a mainstream leftist perspective. From a rightist perspective, Der Movement often takes a triumphalist tone about the decay in the System’s institutions and decreased public trust in those institutions. Indeed, there is, across the political spectrum, much talk about this, much discussion about a sense of malaise in “Western liberal democracy.” However, one wonders how much of this talk is cynical play-acting, a need to look “tough, realistic, and pragmatic” and not “naïve,” and how much of it actually is genuine skepticism about the System. There is no doubt some genuine uneasiness in the mainstream, and no doubt that Der Movement always preaches about an “imminent collapse” (we’ve been hearing about that for the last 50-60 years), but one wonders what the top elites really believe. The masses tend to always be dissatisfied, but will almost always never act on their own. Hence, elite opinion and dissident leadership are typically crucial in determining the outcome of these processes.

What about the internal situation within the “movement?”  Obviously, the Sallis Groupuscule and those will similar views exhibit a loss of faith in the “movement’s “central institutions.” Some others on the Far Right are critical as well, although these tend to have different reasons for their dissatisfaction and suggest different solutions. “Movement” leadership for the most part – if out of self-interest if for no other reason – takes a more positive view of the situation within Der Movement, and “double down” on their support for Der Movement’s “central institutions,” even if they criticize certain actions of their competitors. The attitude of the “movement” rank-and-file mirrors that of the masses in the general society – some grumbling and dissatisfaction, but also much conformist inertia, and a willingness to support their chosen leader. They have not yet lost faith, although, objectively, after decades of endless failures and humiliations, they should have already done so.

…2) establishes a set of ideas from what was once the fringe of the intellectual world, placing them at the centre of a revamped political order…

Der Movement believes that this is happening; they look at Trumpian right-wing populism and the occasional comment by Tucker Carlson about race replacement, and they believe that “the Overton window” is moving in their direction and that their beliefs are becoming the center of a “revamped political order.”  As chronicled at my blog, this belief is an unfounded delusion. Der Movement has failed to significantly move their ideas from the (lunatic) fringe to the mainstream because the ideas themselves are flawed and "movement" leadership is inept.  True enough, we dissidents within pro-White activism have also so far failed to move our ideas into the center of the “movement” – but unlike "movement" leaders we haven’t had decades of time nor millions of dollars to work with.  

…and 3) involves a coherent leadership group committed to the change. 

Besides “movement” leadership being inept, it is not very coherent either, and that’s even when only considering the American situation (international leadership is completely fragmented). The various leaders often feud and have competing strategies and tactics. Similarly, those within the “movement” who are dissatisfied also do not constitute any sort of “coherent leadership group,” as they cannot even agree on what about the “movement” they find objectionable, why these problems exist, and what to do about them. So, while these people are (allegedly) “committed to...change” they are not in any way organized as a “coherent leadership group” that can effect the desired change.

These disruptions are apparent in, but not synonymous with, some of the events commonly called revolutions. Disruptions don’t always change who is in charge – they are, in fact, sometimes necessary to preserve a government that is on the verge of failure. But they will at the very least change the way that a governing group thinks and acts.

OK, that is straightforward.

…when a political system is undermined by events such as economic failure, defeat in war or environmental catastrophe, that political system is going to have to change or fail. Success or failure depends on the choices that leaders make, and the ability to give people a fresh set of ideas that will help them see a new way forward.

Der Movement has leaders that make terrible choices, demonstrate bad judgment, and, as stated above, provide bad ideas that do not provide “a new way forward.” The internal dissidents have also not succeeded; whether or not “movement” failures have risen to the level to assure a high probability of success for dissidents such as the Sallis Groupuscule is unclear. There have been a number of “movement” catastrophes, but its members continue to support failed leaders and failed ideas.

The outcome of a disruption is often completely unexpected to contemporaries, and that is precisely because ideas from outside the mainstream were used to shape the solutions to the problems of the time. 

Does that mean that the dissidents vs. the System and the dissidents vs. Der Movement cannot predict what will occur, which also means that their desired outcomes – that they would seem to expect – will not occur?  Or is it too early to tell?  Or, to look at it from the opposite, dominant perspective, is it that the System does not expect the victory of pro-White activism and that the Quota Queens do not expect “movement” dissidents to succeed?  It all depends who are the “contemporaries” who cannot understand what the “outside the mainstream” ideas are that will eventually succeed.  Note that, in both cases, the current leaders hate and oppose the dissidents and that may blind them to the possibilities of dissident success.  The System hates and opposes pro-White activism and the Quota Queens hate and oppose dissidents such as myself.  These attitudes may bias and prevent them from recognizing the possible outcomes.

We can’t know in advance exactly how a disruption will end. What history can teach us is what the circumstances are that lead to a disruption. It can make us realise what we might be facing as a result of the situation we are in today.

It would seem that the System is well advanced to a disruption, but perhaps not as advanced as the “collapse is imminent” “movement” hopes for. Apparently, disruption within the “movement” itself has not yet reached the level where revolutionary change against the Quota Queens and their ideology can be successful.

When we look at one of the first major disruptions, one that is still influencing the world in which we live – the Roman emperor Constantine’s conversion to Christianity in the 4th century CE – we have a case where change had been in the air for a while. In the half-century before Constantine staged the coup that set him on the path to unifying the Roman Empire under his own control, the empire had suffered through plague, massive inflation and a series of military disasters, but the tendency of leadership had been simply to try to make old systems work better.

I won’t directly comment here about Christianity and whether it was good or bad for Rome, but I will say that this example is currently not too relevant as the dominant entities are not ready or willing to compromise with the belief system of the dissidents, even if they believe such would strengthen their position.  Eventually they may get desperate enough to try.

Constantine sent a completely different message when his regime imported concepts from a fringe movement, Christianity, to support its own legitimacy. In doing so, Constantine made use of a small number of Christian advisers, who shaped a new relationship between the Church and Roman society, and joined the closely knit group upon which he depended to run the empire.

Der Movement may believe they could have such influence, but the Alt Right/Trump fiasco underscores how much of that is delusion. And it is unlikely that Der Movement will “import concepts” from the dissidents to its orthodoxy in the near future. Of course, that may all change in time.

This early example exhibits the key characteristics of a disruption: a loss of faith in central institutions (the imperial system of government), the establishment of previously fringe ideas (those of Christianity) at the centre of the political order, and a cohesive, committed leadership group that initiated the change. In elevating Christianity’s role in the empire, Constantine altered patterns of thought, replacing old ideas about imperial authority with a fresh, obviously different model of authority that told people they were moving in a new direction.

That all does not currently exist in either the System-Der Movement situation nor in the Der Movement-dissidents to the “movement” situation.  

I discuss Suvorov’s Law below, in regard to the topic of Potter’s essay; what I can say now is that the Christian Rome scenario illustrates this law. Constantine compromised with Christianity in the thought it would strengthen Rome.  In reality, the church became dominant, to the point that the emperor Theodosius groveled to the bishop Ambrose when the latter excommunicated the former. Just like the humiliation at Canossa much later. Weakening repression, making compromises to the point of embracing aspects of the other side, is what eventually leads to revolutionary change and the victory of that other side.

One thing that helped…in spreading previously marginal ideas was that they could effectively control the available media for mass communication…

Der Movement lacks access to mass communication apart from limited use of the Internet; likewise for intra-“movement” dissidents.  The “word” is not effectively getting out.

…a sign that one of the crucial aspects of a successful disruption is that it creates space in which people can discuss new ideas.

Sure. But the ideas need to be sound and need to be propagated by effective activists.

…Louis could have survived if he had allowed that becoming a constitutional rather than absolute monarch was a reasonable option. But he didn’t. He conspired with other monarchs to overthrow the reform movement in France, thereby undermining centrists who would have allowed him to retain his throne. In so doing, he opened the door to Maximilien Robespierre and other radicals with bold ideas, who claimed that moderation was undermining the revolution – that it could succeed only if traitors were removed and a new state, founded upon the promotion of virtue, replaced the dysfunctional civic constitutions favoured by moderates.

Currently, the System won’t compromise to Der Movement and Der Movement won’t compromise to its dissidents.  This may change in the future if these dominant entities become desperate enough due to  "societal disruption." But I disagree with Potter here; given Suvorov’s Law, Louis’ fate may have been sealed with the first compromise…the Estates General led inexorably to the Terror. Moderation weakens the dam holding back extremism.

The French example stands as a disruption that succeeded in destroying previous institutions without succeeding in building a lasting alternative. It underscores the importance of having political leadership with a clear vision at the moment an existing system of government is overthrown.

Der Movement has utterly failed in this regard.

Lenin’s successor, Joseph Stalin, destroyed the New Economic Policy with his programme of forced collectivisation. His homicidal regime ensured that the Soviet Union could never offer a viable alternative to Western capitalism.

So, what? Lenin would have succeeded?  Why not describe that potential success as “lies” as right-wing beliefs are so described by Potter below?

Another profoundly violent 20th-century disruption, the rise of Nazism, had roots in a theory that implied that nations must inevitably be in competition. Just as within each nation there was an ongoing contest for survival, and government should be geared towards supporting ‘winners’ over ‘losers’ in this struggle, so too there could only be ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ in foreign affairs. 

That seems to be more or less correct, and in accordance with the historical record, but it not always nations in conflict but could be religions, or, races and civilizations.

This view, promulgated by Herbert Spencer, became known as social Darwinism, and it was supported by the pseudoscience of eugenics…

It is not a pseudoscience. One may agree or disagree with eugenics, but it is based on the selection of heritable traits.  One could argue that the development of, say, dog breeds, was a result of “canine eugenics” to select traits of use or other interest to humans. The same could apply to human development.  Whether that would be good or bad is another question, but it is not a “pseudoscience.”  That’s the moralistic fallacy.

…developed by Spencer’s contemporary Francis Galton. Although he was English, Spencer’s theories gained greater currency in the US, where Galton’s eugenic theories were taken up to support restrictive immigration policies and the state-sponsored sterilisation of prisoners on the grounds of ‘mental deficiency’. One person who found such laws appealing was Adolf Hitler.

So?  It’s ad hominem to attack ideas by stating that someone designated as “bad” found those ideas appealing.

Hitler’s political success stemmed in large part from the fact that his assertions about Germany’s path – that it could have won the First World War, that it had been stabbed in the back, and that its problems could be solved by undoing the treaty that had ended the war – were familiar to the electorate from other sources. These positions were lies…

The “stab in the back” apparently was not true.  But who is to say that it was impossible for Germany to have won WWI?  Or that reversing the Treaty of Versailles would be helpful to Germany?  Why were that all “lies?”

…but the lies were popular. Hitler’s extreme version of racist social Darwinism was initially on the fringe of German thought but, linked to his anticommunism, it was tolerated outside Nazi circles.

So?

Yet an anticommunist message backed by lies…

Labelling all of Hitler’s beliefs as “lies” is simplistic thinking bordering on childish.

…would not be sufficient to explain Hitler’s rise to power. Echoing previous disruptions, this required the disintegration of faith in government.

So?  This seems obvious.

The value of history is that it enables us to detect patterns of behaviour in the present that have had serious consequences in the past.

Like oppressing majority populations?

Today, there are signs that the US and European liberal democratic systems are under threat. The most obvious of these is a loss of trust in public institutions.

See above. This perception is present throughout the political spectrum and thus reflects some degree of reality.

Factors such as the willingness of Western governments to allow widespread impoverishment, the weakening of labour organisations, and the failure to provide adequate healthcare and other necessities, feed into powerful movements seeking to undercut the mainstream political system.

What an oblivious, self-unaware jackass David Potter is.  He’s focusing only on those issues that he, and his leftist associates, find distressing.  The rise of right-wing populism, which is the danger that Potter is really agonizing about, derives from completely different sets of dissatisfactions. If Potter represents the degree of analysis by the System, then maybe that System really is doomed.

So too we see ideas from the intellectual fringe informing these increasingly powerful political movements. Some of these movements use social Darwinist ideas to claim, for instance, that public welfare is undercut by immigration. 

Err, that diversity damages social cohesion has been shown by academics on both the Left (e.g., Putnam) and the Right (e.g., Salter). It has nothing to do with “social Darwinism” you insufferable pompous jackass.

In Europe, the normalisation of nationalist groups such as the one supporting Éric Zemmour’s bid for the French presidency, or Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz Party in Hungary, is threatening established political norms. 

Ah yes, the crazy idea that demographic majorities (particularly indigenous ones!) have the right to resist dispossession is what is threatening established political norms. Well, if true, then those established political norms” deserve to be threatened.

In the United Kingdom, some advocates of Brexit have translated traditional English exceptionalism into a form of hypernationalism in terms that, like those of the former US president Donald Trump’s supporters, echo social Darwinist doctrines. 

Huh?  Brexit has essentially replaced Polish plumbers with more Paki and Negro immigrants, so I’m not sure what kind of “hypernationalism” exists in a country in which indigenous British are jailed for mean tweets about Colored invaders.

The prevalence of belief in lies, such as the lie…

Lie?

…that Trump won the 2020 election, is evocative of the universe of false assumptions that spread in Germany during Hitler’s rise to power. 

What false assumptions?

To combat the fissures that election lies…

Lies?

…immigration fantasies…

Fantasies? I suppose demographic change is a “fantasy” except when the Left wants to celebrate it and/or use the resultant “diversity” as an excuse to pass more Orwellian laws to suppress majority rights.

…or antivaccination movements…

I oppose such movements, but the lack of faith in the System over other issues (e.g., immigration) helps empower that nonsense.

…represent, Western governments should recognise that the prevalence of fringe thinking is a sign that they are failing.

True.

The path to restoring faith – which could lead through the sort of disruption that has preserved societies in the past – will offer real help to those who have been left behind. 

Yes, except when those “left behind” are White majority members “left behind” because of mass immigration and multiculturalism – then we should label that as “lies” and instead “restore faith” by focusing on relatively irrelevant issues that are NOT the prime concern leading to the loss of faith, right, Potter, you mendacious hypocrite?  Again, Potter fails miserably. He is so blinded by his political biases that his analysis is worthless.

On the other hand, a sane and effective Far Right could restore faith by replacing the failed System with something different. Within dissident rightist politics, particularly in America, those left behind – sane and rational people, White ethnics, STEM people, pan-Europeanists, Futurists, etc. – could find new faith in a New Movement, and the Sallis Groupuscle exists to help find the way to that New Movement. In order to solve a problem, one has to properly identify that problem, and have the will and ability to do it.  Potter cannot even identify the real problems.  We must do better.

The underlying principle of liberal democracy is the contract between government and the governed. 

Does “the governed” include White people?

Government has a responsibility to reign in corporate power that undermines public welfare and spreads falsehood, just as it has a responsibility to ensure that people have access to the goods and services they need. 

Government also has a responsibility to safeguard ethnic genetic (and other) interests, particularly for majority members.  What does Potter have to say about that?

This will require practices very different from ‘politics as normal’. It is a critical lesson from history that, when normality fails, change will come.

Yes, my dear Potter, but one must identify WHY “normality fails.” You, so blinded by your prejudices, so immersed in your leftist milieu, are unable to do so.

The signs are that we’re in a time that is ripe for disruption. But what sort will it be?

The signs demonstrate that there are unprecedented opportunities for Der Movement, which makes its unending manifest failures even more stark and pathetic. What about changes within White racial nationalism?  The same may apply eventually, but Der Movement and its followers are so used to failure, that it would take something radically catastrophic to open up the possibility of change. In both cases, the dissident forces need to develop ideas that can step in to replace those that others have lost faith it, need effective coherent leadership, and need to exacerbate disruption to open niche space for the new ideas and leaders. Given Suvorov’s Law, making the dominant entities believe that they can survive through moderation and compromise will be helpful in eventually overthrowing those entities. Given the current hostility of the dominant entities for the dissidents, the dominant entities will need to get more desperate before they are willing to take the chance. Dissidents can promote that desperation by causing as much societal disruption as possible while maintaining themselves as a viable ideological alternative.  Eventually, the temptation to try and save themselves by importing aspects of that alternative may prove too much for the dominant entities to resist. Then - contra Potter - that will destroy them.

Later essays here will explore how a dissident Far Right Groupuscule can form a nucleus to effectively take on Der Movement.

Der Movement with the Mask Off

Derangement revealed.

One positive outcome of the covid pandemic is that is has ripped the mask off of Der Movement and we can all observe the deranged, retarded, drooling face of utter intellectual and moral vacuity thus revealed.  If the Nordicism, ethnic fetishism, esoteric traditionalism, Hitler worship, HBD, conspiracy theorizing, and all the rest wasn't enough, Der Movement's response to covid, and, in particular, the covid vaccination, has exposed the degenerated rot of the "movement" for all to see. "Normies" are repulsed, STEM people alienated, and the asocial Luddite derangement of "movement" "leaders" and "activists" can now be adequately studied with proper and focused scrutiny.

Imagine if an asteroid or comet is discovered on a collision course with the Earth. What would be Der Movement's "take" on that? Let's see. It is all a hoax, a conspiracy to take away our freedoms (e.g., the freedom to have Negro drug dealers move next door). Any plan to divert the impact with a nuclear weapon would be to poison us and change our DNA with radioactive toxins; alternatively we'll be told that outer space does not exist and that nuclear weapons are actually napalm and mustard gas. Anyone who objects to "movement" derangement would be labeled as "naive" and a "tool of the System." As the asteroid or comet is entering the Earth's atmosphere and collision is imminent, the last moments of "activists" would be to type away on Gab, or at Counter-Currents, that the big thing in the sky is actually a hologram, devised by dastardly "Jew astronomers."

Der Movement is the Dunning-Kruger effect writ large.  Maybe "movement" heroes should understand what they are talking about before gibbering stupidities.

Der Movement must be utterly destroyed. It has unmasked itself as a pernicious blot, a festering stain, on White racial nationalism. A New Movement requires the niche space that will be opened by Der Movement's necessary obliteration.

The mainstream Right has, of course, discredited itself in equal measure - now they cry "my body my choice" against the vaccine.

Great. My body my choice - so, we can have physician assisted suicide for people with incurable diseases? Or is that against Christianity?

Can I choose who I associate with? Or do I have to be forced to live amongst Coloreds?

Can I choose who I go to school with? Or are the schools integrated by law?

If there's a military draft, can men refuse?

Can the mendacity and hypocrisy of Der Right be believed?
