Progressives Take Heed as You Push Us Towards the Brink"

A Cure for Trumpism

by Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam, July 15 2016 (LINK to article)

"an unsubtle emphasis on white identity and white nostalgia."

There is nothing subtle about it when black and Latino Americans assert their ethnic identities, and many white Americans are clearly sick of having their own ethnic identity trampled underfoot, primarily by their own white elites, including, it seems, everyone who write for the NYT.

The support for Donald Trump is an inevitable response to the ideology of white racial self-denial and self-contempt that has gained ascendency amongst virtually all western elites, initially in overreaction to Nazism and the Holocaust (see this BLOG), but subsequently as part of the age-old strategy of “divide and rule”, whereby society is divided into a morally superior, now supposedly unprejudiced, "colour-blind", elite and the morally inferior, naturally (human nature being what it is) more prejudiced, less "colour-blind", masses, who must submit to the authority of and domination by their "moral superiors".

In America the situation for whites is precarious, because already well on their way to becoming an ethnic minority (which Big Brother state expects them to "celebrate"), but in Europe, where whites are the indigenous population the situation is very different.

Native whites, once awoken from their slumber to their betrayal by their own elites, will fight for their continent, and win, or take western civilisation, which they created, with them. So take heed, you "progressives" as you push us, with your "moral supremacism", towards the brink.

America has Lost its Way

Trump, Sanders and the Revolt Against Decadence

By Ross Douthat Jan. 30, 2016 (LINK to article)

The truth is that America, along with the rest of western civilisation, has lost its way, which, interestingly, the NYT itself warns of in an editorial, The Price of Fear, following the Paris attacks, last November:

“In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism [evil] comes the risk that society will lose its way.”

This is an extremely dangerous and frightening situation to be in, and at the same time, very difficult to face up to. Most will simply dismiss me as a "doom-monger".

And it is not as if western civilisation were moving in the right direction before this overreaction to evil occurred. It wasn't. But it was in a much better position to recognise and develop an understanding of where it was going wrong.

This overreaction was to the evil of Nazism and everything (apart from German motorways) it was associated with.

The Nazis hijacked and abused, for their own evil purposes, some extremely important ideas, which, thanks largely to the misguided efforts of "anti-faschists", who made a moral imperative of this overreaction to Nazism, remain to this day, effectively, under Nazi occupation.

This included the half-baked ideas of social Darwinism, which resulted in a previous generation of academics making a taboo of applying Darwin's ideas to ourselves, our civilisation and situation altogether, which is what we urgently need to do, if we are to find the way to our future, rather than see our civilisation fail: The West's Overreaction to Nazism.

What Madness Drives Our Own Ethnic Replacement?

Germany on the Brink

By Ross Douthat Jan. 9, 2016 (LINK to article)

You can't INTEGRATE millions of people of different race, culture and history into  a native/indigenous population without radically changing it. Go to any area where immigrants have already reduced native whites to an ethnic minority and you will see what I mean.

The Left's argument against objections to mass immigration is that we are ALL human beings, and so it doesn't matter when native (white) Europeans are replaced by immigrants from other continents. Only it DOES matter, if you happen to identify with to the ethnic group being replaced.

What madness is driving Europeans - and white Americans - to promote their own ethnic replacement by other races?

It is, I believe, an OVERREACTION (which the NYT itself warns against in a recent editorial, The Price of Fear: “In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism [evil] comes the risk that society will lose its way.”) to Nazism and the Holocaust, which was blamed of "racial prejudice", instead of on the Nazis' criminally insane racial ideology.

This resulted in our ruling elites embracing an ideology (the exact but equally extreme opposite of Nazi racial ideology) which demonises natural human  prejudices, in favour of one's own ethnic (but only if you belong to the white majority)  and serves as an instrument of socio-political intimidation, rewards, punishments, manipulation and control, just as medieval church ideology once served.

I elaborate further HERE.

Fate of the West in the Balance

Cracks in the Liberal Order

By Ross Douthat  Dec. 26, 2015 (LINK to article)

I submitted two comments on this article, both of which, after some delay, were approved and published, but I thought that I would publish them here anyway.

First Post:

"late-modern liberalism might have a certain tendency toward suicide"

EVERY civilisation tends towards suicide, because of their perverted Darwinian nature, which, because of the taboo a previous generation of academics placed on viewing our own species from an evolutionary perspective (an OVERREACTION to the Nazis having hijacked and abused the half-baked ideas of social Darwinism for their own evil purposes), there has been a failure to recognise.

And why would they WANT to recognise it, given how well "the current order" works for them?

The human brain surely evolved to want to maintain the environment on which it depends, especially when it has been relatively successful within it, as everyone who is anyone in society invariably has been, and rationalises its view of social, political and economic reality accordingly.

We (especially academics) are bound to see ourselves as a "rational animal", when in fact we are far more a "rationalising animal", which means that unlike in the material sciences, where our models of reality now correlate closely with it, in the social sciences they don't. Thus the author's difficulty in "imagining the basic liberal democratic capitalist order cracking up".

The current order is indeed on course to crack up, and if we want something better, rather than worse, to come of it, we urgently need a much better model of the reality of our situation: http://philosopherkin.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/civilisation-evolutionary-cul-de-sac.html

Second Post:

"it’s been hard to imagine the basic liberal democratic capitalist order cracking up . . "

The Germans have a word for this: Zweckoptimismus (self-serving optimism).

" . . let alone envision what might take its place."

Looking back to premodern times, would Ptolemaic astronomers, alchemists, or Galenic doctors have been able to imagine what would one day replace their "sciences" and their world? I think not.

And because of their lack of a human-evolutionary, i.e. Darwinian, perspective, the present-day social and political sciences are still stuck in a pre-Copernican, i.e. pre-Darwinian, dark age.

Responsible for this is something the NYT's Editorial Board itself warns of in a recent editorial, The Price of Fear:

“In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism comes the risk that society will lose its way."

Western civilisation has indeed lost its way, in overreaction to Nazism, which hijacked and abused the half-baked ideas of social Darwinism for its own evil purposes, making a taboo of the whole idea of viewing ourselves, our civilisation and situation from a human-evolutionary perspective, thus blinding us to its perverted Darwinian nature.

Healthy Darwinian nature serves' a population's survival, while perverted Darwinian nature leads to its demise. What do I mean by "population"? That is something that needs to be discussed, but we can't discuss, or arrive at an understanding of anything, so long as this taboo remains in place.
