Default Occidental Dissent

[Occidental Dissent is not a conservative site, but I'm going to lump it in this subforum just for convenience. Here Prozium responds to Jim Kalb, whom we responded to in Takimag thread.]

Jim Kalb has some thoughts this morning about White Nationalism:

The basic problem with the approach, of course, is that “whiteness” doesn’t have much to say about what life is about, so it can’t serve as the basis of social order. That’s why the extreme nationalists and racists of the last century relied so much on theatrics and on an ideology of infinite struggle for infinite dominion that made no sense and could only end in catastrophe.

This is untrue. The idea of whiteness is pregnant with profound social implications, which is why it is so fiercely criticized in the mainstream, and why racialists are so innoculated against liberalism. Unlike conservatives, White Nationalists clearly define “interest” in terms of the propagation of a lineage in a defined space through time, instead of individual materialism or appeal to universal abstract principles. This enables them to clearly reason out the activities (abortion, pornography, drug abuse, etc.) which are damaging to their ethny.

“Whiteness,” not conservatism, was the basis of the Southern social order (1660s-1960s) for three hundred years. Far from being unstable, military force was required on two separate occasions to overthrow it. The theatrics of Southern politicians stemmed from democracy, not racialism, and have continued down through the anti-racist era. Finally, the ultimate denounement of segregation in the United States wasn’t brought about by an effort to export the Southern social system; it was the American North which sought to aggressively universalize its ideals abroad.

[reader comment at OccDiss]

By the way, I just got finished reading the encyclopedic, “Race: The History of an Idea in America” (by Thomas F. Gossett), which traced the evolution of America’s ideas about “race” from the early colonists to about 1940. It was a fascinating read, you should really check it our from your local university library.

Welcome back. That sounds very interesting. When was it published?

Prozium,

“Welcome back. That sounds very interesting. When was it published?”

It was originally published in the early 1960s while M.L.K. was still alive; however, due to the seminal nature of the work, it was republished in 1997. Unfortunately, Gossett is biased towards today’s egalitarian consensus but that doesn’t seem to have impaired his comprehensive treatment of the subject.

One of the fascinating conclusions that I was able to gleam from the book is that the American elite (academic, literary, governmental, and press) flipped from some variant of what we might call racialism to racial egalitarianism in a very short period of time after the 1924 immigration act (the climax of racialism amongst America’s elite) and in the run up to our confrontation with German & Italian nationalism in WWII. In the wake of WWII our elite was firmly on the side of the egalitarians (or equalitarians) and committed to the course we’re on today.

I found it rather stunning to see just how hegemonic racialism was in America in the run up to the 1924 act. It would seem that almost everyone was in accord with the very sentiments of Madison Grant in his, “Passing of the Great Race” from press to scientists to politicians. And how quickly that consensus broke down in such a short period of time. The West’s confrontation with ethnic nationalism in Germany and Italy really did a number on its psyche for generations. [actually it was the jews' accession to power via academia and media-takeover; our involvement in the war itself was a result of that takeover]

[Interesting back and forth on segregation and integration, de jure and de facto, who thought up what and enforced it on whom... ]

15 Prozium

The North repealed all of its anti-miscegenation laws, outlawed segregation in education and public accomodations, extended citizenship and voting rights to blacks, and then attempted to force their social system on the rest of the country with the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments and the civil rights acts of the Reconstruction era. The system we have in place today was pioneered by New England in the early nineteenth century and was implemented in the Midwest during the late nineteenth century.

We think of the “Civil Rights Movement” as a national struggle over race. That wasn’t the case at all. Only the South and a few Western states were segregated. New England had been integrated for over a century; the Midwest for about eighty years or so.

16 ATBOTL

New England had so few blacks that de jure integreation was meaningless and de facto segregation is still the rule of the day there, much more so than in the modern south. Boston is still one of the most segregated major metropolitan areas in the country and one of the few places where blacks are afraid of the white people and stay in their little ghetto in Roxbury and Dorchester. If the whole country had the same proportion of blacks as antebellum New England, we would not have a black problem today.

I’m going to run the new Occidental Dissent site on several key assumptions:

1.) The conservative movement has been neutered, is no longer vehicle for the advancement of our concerns, and is generally a waste of our time and energy. We’re not trying to defend the legitimacy of the status quo anyway.

2.) The White Nationalist movement is marginalized and will remain in disarray for the forseeable future.

3.) The American public is too deadened and distracted by consumerism and discourse poisoning (in the media, public schools, and universities) to respond to our appeals.

4.) Whenever meaningful change in our political system does come, it will be brought by underlying shifts in material reality such as global aging or the present oil and gas crisis in North America which our elites will be unable to handle. Revolutionary change (most likely at the local level) will only become possible once the tools of population control (cheap gas, cheap food, cheap infotainment, happy suburban living) start to break down and the public experiences real hardship.

I have been reading a new book titled “Willis Carto and the American Far Right” by sociologist Gerorge Michael.

Carto has been a Racialist Activist for about 60 YEARS now.

In the final chapter he states that he has come to the same conclusion (after 60 years of Organizing with the Liberty Lobby) regarding Revolutionary Change. The economy is going to have to collapse before anything else will be possible.

(Carto then goes on to state that a charasmatic leader will have to emerge, basicly he is describing the two ingredients in the formula that worked in the past to allow Hitler to rise to power during the degenerate Weimar period. )

I wouldn't say the South is less segregated, it just appears more profound when the non-white population is much larger. Socially the South is still very segregated, from elementary school to adulthood. The vast majority of integration comes from the government and employers forcing the races together, but personally people usually stick to their own. It's natural, people enjoy being with those they have something in common with.

It can also be observed that integration is less when a non-white population is larger, because then non-whites establish their own identity and order instead of trying to assimilate their small numbers into a white majority.

Interesting to note that northern blacks have more white admixture than southern blacks. Whether this is because of a higher level of assimilation and mixing or just that blacks with more white admixture immigrated to the north is a question.

“Both of you are driven by the false assumption (one that I admit to briefly entertaining years ago) that the isolation that has been imposed on racialists is due to internal dysfunctions instead of external interest and force.”

I think that this should be the key point for this comment thread. Racialist thinking, in all its forms, is constantly being suppressed, even to the point where a scientist like Watson (co-discoverer of DNA and nobel laureate) loses control of his laboratory over a few sentences in his autobiography. And if Watson isn’t allowed to express a little pessimism over the intellectual endowments of Africans (at the genetic level!) then what room could that possibly leave for any kind of White identitarianism?

If the racialist community is nothing more than a few slightly unhinged froot loops it’s because others would rather avoid the high social costs (imposed by our managerial elites) that may come with racialist beliefs.

_________________

Good points, except that racialists are not unhinged froot loops. For the most part, they are simply men who can see where we're headed, and have done the spade work to find out why. They don't deserve to be disparaged in the same terms jewish destroyers use. Not even by anonyms on blogs.

I will repeat for the millionth time, the only people who believe the advance of the White cause is a function of dress or behavior are those who've never made a serious attempt to advocate it. The System is based on denying White identify. Our failure is not mechanical, it is the outcome the System is designed to produce. Or perhaps you thought that endless legal discrimination and media abuse were accidental?
