Mansizedtarget made the following comment to my previous post:
It seems to me the most coherent and viable identity that exists in a real way and is a means of resisting globalization, homogenization, and all the other evils of today is the nation.
I had been thinking likewise, and his statement triggered me to write what follows. None of it is particularly original or insightful, but it represents a synthesis of facts and opinions I’ve absorbed, much of it over the past year, some of which I have not previously expressed.

I paid a visit to Edmond Oklahoma last August, scouting places to resettle outside Aztlan. I remain deeply affected by the experience. In Edmund there are Whites doing all the jobs we’re continually lectured Whites don’t want to do. Edmond is a glimpse back in time to what Escondido California was like 20 years ago. What it could have remained. Clean, peaceful, prosperous, uncrowded. White America.
I knew even before the trip that “diversity” is a lie. California is not heading for “diversity”. It’s heading for pure latino. Oklahoma is not yet nearly as “vibrant”. Which is to say it has less crime, less violence, and less people claiming special priviledges based on their non-whiteness. Alas, even Edmond shows signs of disease. In another decade latino, asian, and black gangs will be running amok and the Whites there will be looking for somewhere else to live.
After that trip a stunningly simple truth dawned on me: There is no racism when everyone is the same race.
It is an inversion of reality now typical of our sick society that this reality, writ large as nationalism, is seen as ignorant or defensive or reactionary and thus negative. The reality is that nations arise spontaneously from clusters of organically homogeneous people, and further, that such homogeneity is required for a nation’s long-term stability and survival. A nation overwhelmed by aliens ceases to be a nation.
This has been known in the civilized world for at least 2700 years, when the Assyrians erased Israel and Babylon absorbed Judea and the jews became a wandering, nationless people. Our mendacious internationalist rulers know this nation-dissolving tactic just as well today. They are the reactionaries struggling desperately against human nature. They are the aggressors hammering uniquely shaped people into their one-size-fits-all worldview. They have corroded White minds with propaganda and miseducation, poking and prodding and delegitimatizing our normal proclivities toward nationalism, to convince us that our borders are mere lines on a map, arbitrary and immoral. They have mesmerized and beguiled us with financial and legal hocus pocus, and this has caused us to lower our defenses.
The progressives pine for one world because they think it will end war. The globalists pine for it because they think it will increase profit. Both goals are false.
Brutal gangs wage a constant undeclared war whose intensity grows precisely as our non-white population grows. Open borders are destroying our nation’s cohesion, our sense of common cause, our respect for government and its laws. The crowding is overwhelming our infrastructure, the poverty overwhelming our wealth. We face increasingly unsafe, unhealthy living conditions, with less of our energy going to industry and more focused on security and escapism. We live in a post-civilizational society where distrust, decay, perversion, corruption, crime, and terror are accepted as normal.
“Diversity” and “multiculturalism” are euphemisms, cover for the pseudo-homogenizing forces of a consciously engineered attack on organic White homogeniety. Any natural sense of White common cause is denigrated and supplanted by dictatorial, nonsensical, one-way “tolerance”. In contrast to a healthy and heart-felt fellowship that bubbles from the bottom up, “diversity” and “multiculturalism” are imposed from the top down. It is an attempt to accomplish by trickery and fiat the kind of forced mixing that occurs when a people are invaded, conquered, and colonized. This is decidedly unnatural and wrong.
“Anti-racism” is in reality anti-Whitism. The non-white immigration invasion will ultimately destroy virtually every predominantly White nation. Rather than serving as a beacon to the world, demonstrating how a nation can effectively and responsibly care for its own people, the US has instead become a bloated and putrefying Frankenstein monster, flocked to by scavengers, its wealth and possessions carved up and auctioned off by profiteers who will fly off to another victim when their host finally falls apart.
Nothing lasts forever, but the actual hows and whys of our nation’s demise are no accident of history. It should have been different. There were plenty of people who warned this was coming and stood against it. They were pushed aside, denounced as nativists, xenophobes, bigots, racists, White supremacists, neo-nazis and anti-semites. For the past sixty years the ruling class has distanced themselves from any such taint, ridiculing and ostracizing anyone impertinent enough to freely say what their eyes and ears and brains clearly perceive. Today it is “politically incorrect” not only to speak such thoughts, but to even think them.
The responsibility for our predicament lies entirely with the willfully blind progressives and globalists whose utopian univeralist one-world policies have prevailed. They had control. They deserve all the blame.
Only when enough people reject the lies and see through the utopian one-world promises to the false and cadaverous reality underneath can we begin to build new societies and renew our civilization. This will only happen in places where the people associate as they choose, and where they enforce rules to keep out the shit-stirring ideologues and treacherous profiteers.
Today our one-world politicians promise everyone the moon. They have proven capable only of dispossessing Whites to buy favor with everyone else. In a true nation the politicians represent a cohesive people and can thus speak frankly about their common problems. Only under such circumstances is there a chance that what politicians propose will be honest and fair. If you’re hoping for change it isn’t going to come from either progressivist Obama or globalist McCain. Both roads lead to the same non-nation we’ve been heading toward for sixty years.
There is no racism when everyone is the same race.
It is an inversion of reality now typical of our sick society that this reality, writ large as nationalism, is seen as ignorant or defensive or reactionary and thus negative.

In case you haven’t seen it, the lead article in the latest issue of Foreign Affairs is a very good read and addresses this very subject:
Us and Them: The Enduring Power of Ethnic Nationalism
In a not-as-eloquent fashion, I asked some questions earlier today that are, I think, very much related to your thoughts:
Is this so awful — to live in monocultural nations or, at least, areas? What’s wrong with it if it results in stable and functional societies?
I think part of the reason many Europeans (and other Westerners) today are so blind to the pitfalls of multiculturalism is simply due to the fact that, thanks to the post-war separation of peoples in Europe described in the Foreign Affairs article, they actually grew up in rather monocultural societies so they don’t know what the alternatives are really like.
Thanks for those links Hibernia Girl. You’ve triggered me to make an essay-length comment.
When reading that Foreign Affairs article, we should keep in mind that they are the CFR’s mouthpiece, a major progressivist-globalist organization. The message is in code. It is aimed at world-managers. These are not stupid people, they are as pragmatic as they are relentless in their quest for domination.
The first part of the paper, the analysis of recent history and the current situation, is fairly honest about the problem they face. HG cites large sections I also find notable. Below I’ve pulled out and commented on even more bits, especially from the middle and tail end.
Walker Connor, an astute student of nationalism, has noted, “It is not what is, but what people believe is that has behavioral consequences.”
They realize they can alter behavior by manipulating beliefs. That is what this paper is about. Shaping the world by understanding and managing perceptions.
Modern societies are premised on the egalitarian notion that in theory, at least, anyone can aspire to any economic position. But in practice, everyone does not have an equal likelihood of upward economic mobility, and not simply because individuals have different innate capabilities. For such advances depend in part on what economists call “cultural capital,” the skills and behavioral patterns that help individuals and groups succeed. Groups with traditions of literacy and engagement in commerce tend to excel, for example, whereas those without such traditions tend to lag behind.
The only economists I know of that seem even halfway honest in considering human nature are Thomas Sowell and George Borjas. Most, especially anarcho-capitalists like Bryan Caplan, are globalist apologists. They make up whatever bullshit they must to cover for globalization. They act as if people are inanimate objects like bananas, thus trade equals migration, the freer the better. Whatever lip service they pay “cultural capital” it doesn’t figure in their equations.
Ethnonationalist ideology called for a congruence between the state and the ethnically defined nation, with explosive results. As Lord Acton recognized in 1862, “By making the state and the nation commensurate with each other in theory, [nationalism] reduces practically to a subject condition all other nationalities that may be within the boundary. . . . According, therefore, to the degree of humanity and civilization in that dominant body which claims all the rights of the community, the inferior races are exterminated, or reduced to servitude, or outlawed, or put in a condition of dependence.” And that is just what happened.
I should read Acton. I’ll bet he made other excellent observations. I’ll bet he didn’t draw the conclusion that today’s progressivist-globalists have: that the natural tendency for humans to self-identify and separate is a problem to be overcome. As if lions and tigers are mistaken, their separation a wrong which can be put right by compelling them with propaganda to join in harmony as a single liger race.
Much of the history of twentieth-century Europe, in fact, has been a painful, drawn-out process of ethnic disaggregation.
Yes. Because this is how people are naturally inclined. Disaggregation is a curious choice of words. The connotations of a more common and neutral word like separation are apparently not negative enough.
In much of central and eastern Europe, Jews had long played an important role in trade and commerce. When they were given civil rights in the late nineteenth century, they tended to excel in professions requiring higher education, such as medicine and law, and soon Jews or people of Jewish descent made up almost half the doctors and lawyers in cities such as Budapest, Vienna, and Warsaw. By the 1930s, many governments adopted policies to try to check and reverse these advances, denying Jews credit and limiting their access to higher education. In other words, the National Socialists who came to power in Germany in 1933 and based their movement around a “Germanness” they defined in contrast to “Jewishness” were an extreme version of a more common ethnonationalist trend.
The article, to this point, trumpets its contrarian view of ethnonationalism and history. Here it reverts to the same old spin. Here the ethnocentrism of jews, robust enough to see them through some three millenia, goes unmentioned. Everything was fine until 20th century Germans got extremely ethnocentric and decided to slaughter all their innocent doctors and lawyers. Sheesh.
Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin all concluded that the expulsion of ethnic Germans from non-German countries was a prerequisite to a stable postwar order. As Churchill put it in a speech to the British parliament in December 1944, “Expulsion is the method which, so far as we have been able to see, will be the most satisfactory and lasting. There will be no mixture of populations to cause endless trouble. . . . A clean sweep will be made. I am not alarmed at the prospect of the disentanglement of population, nor am I alarmed by these large transferences.” He cited the Treaty of Lausanne as a precedent, showing how even the leaders of liberal democracies had concluded that only radically illiberal measures would eliminate the causes of ethnonational aspirations and aggression.
Yes, it takes illiberal measures to fix what liberalism ruins. “Ethnonational aspirations” should not be eliminated. They should be recognized as right and natural. They will be accomodated, one way or another. Doing so forthrightly will not eliminate aggression entirely, just one major source.
Beyond page 4 the article gets ever more mendacious.
Economists from Adam Smith onward, for example, have argued that the efficiencies of competitive markets tend to increase with the markets’ size. The dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire into smaller nation-states, each with its own barriers to trade, was thus economically irrational and contributed to the region’s travails in the interwar period. Much of subsequent European history has involved attempts to overcome this and other economic fragmentation, culminating in the EU.
See what I said about economists? Borders are “barriers to trade” that are “economically irrational”. Fuck you very much, you brainiac prostitutes.
Ethnic disaggregation also seems to have deleterious effects on cultural vitality. Precisely because most of their citizens share a common cultural and linguistic heritage, the homogenized states of postwar Europe have tended to be more culturally insular than their demographically diverse predecessors. With few Jews in Europe and few Germans in Prague, that is, there are fewer Franz Kafkas.
As long as we’re citing Churchill let’s fetch this golden oldie from the memory hole and admit there are also fewer Karl Marxs, Leon Trotskys, Bela Kuns, and Rosa Luxembourgs. We do however have George Soros, Abe Foxman, Morris Dees, Susan Sontag, Noel Ignatiev, etc., ad nauseum. Wouldn’t it be nice if they lived in a country of their own they could complain about?
Forced migrations generally penalize the expelling countries and reward the receiving ones. Expulsion is often driven by a majority group’s resentment of a minority group’s success, on the mistaken assumption that achievement is a zero-sum game. But countries that got rid of their Armenians, Germans, Greeks, Jews, and other successful minorities deprived themselves of some of their most talented citizens, who simply took their skills and knowledge elsewhere. And in many places, the triumph of ethnonational politics has meant the victory of traditionally rural groups over more urbanized ones, which possess just those skills desirable in an advanced industrial economy.
And these “most talented citizens” are precisely the ones driving open borders and pyramid schemes. They fucked up eastern Europe. Now they’re busy fucking up western Europe and America.
One could argue that Europe has been so harmonious since World War II not because of the failure of ethnic nationalism but because of its success, which removed some of the greatest sources of conflict both within and between countries. The fact that ethnic and state boundaries now largely coincide has meant that there are fewer disputes over borders or expatriate communities, leading to the most stable territorial configuration in European history.
These ethnically homogeneous polities have displayed a great deal of internal solidarity, moreover, facilitating government programs, including domestic transfer payments, of various kinds. When the Swedish Social Democrats were developing plans for Europe’s most extensive welfare state during the interwar period, the political scientist Sheri Berman has noted, they conceived of and sold them as the construction of a folkhemmet, or “people’s home.”
One could also argue that the harmony of de facto ethnicnationalism has been completely subverted by the progressivist-globalists. They conspired to foist the overarching EU upon all the happy little ethnonations, and waged wars to suppress White ethnonationalism whereever it became too explicit, as in Serbia.
Even before the secretive Euro-Arab Dialogue opened the flood gates in the 1970s they invited the invasion of Europe by north africans, middle easterners, and south asians. Mostly hostile muslims. These immigrants are thoroughly exploiting the “extensive welfare state” the ethnonationals created and intended for their own benefit.
Ordinary people have noticed. But the progressivist-globalists brutally repress anyone who objects to being brutally oppressed.
Several decades of life in consolidated, ethnically homogeneous states may even have worked to sap ethnonationalism’s own emotional power. Many Europeans are now prepared, and even eager, to participate in transnational frameworks such as the EU, in part because their perceived need for collective self-determination has largely been satisfied.
Poppycock. The progressivist-globalists have been broadcasting anti-racist anti-nationalist propaganda for decades. They’ve criminalized the truth. And still the people want “collective self-determination”. This is because we’re human beings, not emotionless robots.
The most dramatic transformation of European ethnic balances in recent decades has come from the immigration of people of Asian, African, and Middle Eastern origin, and here the results have been mixed. Some of these groups have achieved remarkable success, such as the Indian Hindus who have come to the United Kingdom. But in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere, on balance the educational and economic progress of Muslim immigrants has been more limited and their cultural alienation greater.
How much of the problem can be traced to discrimination, how much to the cultural patterns of the immigrants themselves, and how much to the policies of European governments is difficult to determine. But a number of factors, from official multiculturalism to generous welfare states to the ease of contact with ethnic homelands, seem to have made it possible to create ethnic islands where assimilation into the larger culture and economy is limited.
Let’s be honest. The “remarkable success” of alien invaders, or the remarkable lack thereof, has been achieved at the expense of the indigenous people and their progeny. The problem is not “discrimination”. The problem is lack of discrimination.
It gets worse. This whopper for example:
Since ethnonationalism is a direct consequence of key elements of modernization, it is likely to gain ground in societies undergoing such a process. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that it remains among the most vital — and most disruptive — forces in many parts of the contemporary world.
This completely contradicts the point the author has conceded all along: Ethnonationalism is a consequence of people being people. It produces peace because it relieves the pressure caused by disruptive forces such as “modernization”, which is nothing more than a euphemism for progressive-globalism.
But he couldn’t really speak that plainly, could he?
Note closely now how the article concludes:
Partition may thus be the most humane lasting solution to such intense communal conflicts. It inevitably creates new flows of refugees, but at least it deals with the problem at issue. The challenge for the international community in such cases is to separate communities in the most humane manner possible: by aiding in transport, assuring citizenship rights in the new homeland, and providing financial aid for resettlement and economic absorption. The bill for all of this will be huge, but it will rarely be greater than the material costs of interjecting and maintaining a foreign military presence large enough to pacify the rival ethnic combatants or the moral cost of doing nothing.
Contemporary social scientists who write about nationalism tend to stress the contingent elements of group identity — the extent to which national consciousness is culturally and politically manufactured by ideologists and politicians. They regularly invoke Benedict Anderson’s concept of “imagined communities,” as if demonstrating that nationalism is constructed will rob the concept of its power. It is true, of course, that ethnonational identity is never as natural or ineluctable as nationalists claim. Yet it would be a mistake to think that because nationalism is partly constructed it is therefore fragile or infinitely malleable. Ethnonationalism was not a chance detour in European history: it corresponds to some enduring propensities of the human spirit that are heightened by the process of modern state creation, it is a crucial source of both solidarity and enmity, and in one form or another, it will remain for many generations to come. One can only profit from facing it directly.
I don’t believe any of these people care about what’s humane. If they did they wouldn’t be stirring shit all over the world for profit and power. The important thing is the bill. So why aren’t the economic costs of immigration more honestly accounted? And why is any balance of mere money more important than the horrible sociobiological costs? Well, because when you’re a progressivist-globalist you don’t give a shit about the “enduring propensities of the human spirit” except to the degree it affects your plans for universal domination.
People construct race, ethnicity, nations, and civilization, much the same as spiders construct webs or beavers construct dams. The “contemporary social scientist” psychopaths who pathologize human nature are misanthropes. They are civilization-scale arsonists. They should be treated like the insane criminals they are. Likewise their profiteering partners bent on world domination.
Tanstaafl: They act as if people are inanimate objects like bananas, thus trade equals migration, the freer the better.
Yup.
There was a report that came out last year in Ireland about how Ireland is poaching medical personnel from Third World countries (as are other Western nations). The report mentioned how nurses today are views as “global public goods.”
That’s what we’ve all become in the eyes — and billfolds — of the global uber-capitalists — “global public goods.”
Escondido, eh? I live in East Oceanside right next to Vista. See the same things, Vista is now TJ del norte (or some such f’d up crap). I still think the last best hope for whites is a Northwest Homeland. ID, MT, WY, becoming Alpine Americans, as Boston Tea Party says. We’ll be un-assing this place soon. The whole family is moving or has moved to an unnamed mountain state that is gun friendly and 90% white. Kinda like the “free staters” only with building white communities in mind.

Good post and comment Tan – guess Im still the anti-whitist linking back to my comment in the last post.[“the concept of whiteness”}
“There is no racism when everyone is the same race” – there’s also no racism when there is no race. There’s just some other “-ism”. Hence the mess in Europe leading up to the post WWII era (a whole shitload of white people with different ethnic identities beating the shit out of each other). They finally start to put together a kumbaya experience and what does the mind trust decide to do – invite the turd world in to do the jobs Europeans wont do. Was that some weird reverse-imperialism move?
This “most stable territorial configuration in European history” wouldnt coincide with a small American-dominated military occupation, would it? I mean, its not like the US actually had a significant military presence in Europe and the US taxpayers were flipping the bill.
Alas Poor Yorick – I knew him Horatio a fellow of infinite jest, and he would have Really Appreciated the CFR’s ability to spin a Fairy Tale of twisted laughable absurdity!
The Council on Foreign Relations is a sad relic of the Spoilt Rich Kids Fraternity that used to vacation on the Palatial Yachts of the Rockafella and Onanis Clans in the heyday of the Kennedy Bros. Circus and the Pinko Panther Squads…
Now only a small splinter in the Fat Flabby Ass that the NWO clique of the United Nations has become, the CFR rummages through the attics and basements of Dead Leftist Ideologies of the 1960s in a vain attempt to relive their misbegotten radical childhoods! The elderly crones wearing love beads and the crusty aged yippees trying to make peace signs with arthritic fingers can be seen wobbling and wheezing at useless gatherings of Noted Failure Fests all over Canada and Martha’s Vineyard as they slowing sink into the LaBrea Tar Pit of Forgotten Failures along with the French Revolutionaries and Bolshevik Russians that came before them!
With the Stock Market going downhill faster than a slalom and the Economies of the World shitting out bankruptcies at an accelerated rate bordering on Fiscal Diarrhea, The NWO and the Globalist Dream is evaporating faster than iced tea in Death Valley! The US Presidential Election in November still seems Far Away and the Economic Disaster is hell-bent Not to Wait…
The Powers that Be seem to have Little Power Indeed now that the Rosy Economic Future it promised has become so much smoke from a Rising Fire! The Mexicannot and the Civil Wrongers are killing each other to get what’s left of Social Safeway Subscriptions while the Taxpayers are getting angrier about not seeing any of their money being spent on their communities…
This talk of North American Unions sounds about as lasting as a Hollywood Marriage in Las Vegas to me! With the Economy of the USA going South, the migration North seems to be a waste of time Senor Stupido!
O, Canada the sun will set on thee! New immigrants come with hatred of democracy! Swill your beer while ye can, the Muslim says you can’t!
You see boys and girls the lesson is as follows:

Man, that is really a sick pic you have at the top of this entry. Any chance of changing it?
Our willingness to avert our eyes is part of our problem.

Averting our eyes from a filthy, disgusting drawing is our problem?
White people want to tax me and take away my guns more than Hispanics; and Latinas are usually pretty hot.
I’m no fan of white people, even though I am 100% white.
Nationalism is a plague on mankind. Religion, too, especially ones that come from the Mid-East.
The biggest problem are the blacks, not Mexicans.
With very few exceptions, group identity is desired by people. The nation-state is a political unit that serves that need. Religion has certainly led to many struggles and superstitions, but it has also done much good for the world. It’s hard to say religion has been a plague on makind when we don’t know what the alternative would have been. The twentieth century was not exactly a religious century, and it was a century of bloody wars and mass killings. Obviously modern technology had a lot to do with the scope of those, but the point is there is no reason to think that the wars and struggles which are often attributed to religion will vanish or even decrease when religion’s influence wanes.
You don’t think Hispanics want to tax you? Please feel free to visit the real world anytime. Hispanics are a net drain on social services, and have a long traditon as viewing government as an ATM. When Hispanics vote 3-2 for Democrats, Republican fools are elated.
Some Hispanic women are attractive. Many are obese, wear too much makeup, and have popped out 5 kids by age 20.
If you’re no fan of white people, please take your gun and move to Mexico or some other turd world country in Latin America. Lots of senoritas gordas there for you.
I like your blog, or I would not bother writing this. I do not like the illustration to the article, nor do I like the title.
Not that you are obligated to care what I like. I realize that comments like the one you are now reading are apt to be conflated with PC, but there is such a thing as civility. The Jews you demonize (most of whom have nothing to do with Hollywood and the media) are seldom so foul as your title and illustration are here.
Howard, I have never demonized jews, I have simply stopped holding them above reproach.
I concede the image is distressing. As is my language in this post, and at times in others. I’m not refined or reverent. I won’t pretend otherwise, and I’m not likely to change.
I do however appreciate beauty. So in consolation I offer this. Enjoy.
The link, Tanstaafl, is remarkable. The Icelanders are a happy people.
I love it. It literally moves me to tears.
The video has a similar effect on me as well, tanstaafl. Part of it is the eerie music, part that yearning for childhood, for others like ourselves, for myth (the girl with the fox headdress), the desire to fly and be free.
God bless,

Kevin MacDonald’s response to the Foreign Affairs article linked above by Hibernia Girl: The Utter Normality Of Ethnonationalism—Except For Whites.
He concludes with:
The difficulty of establishing democracy and the rule of law in societies divided by ethnic conflict is a major theme of the contemporary world.
So is the campaign to bully European-stock whites, alone of all the world’s groups, to forswear ethnocentric politics and consequently to fatally disable themselves in an unchangingly ethnocentric world.
