Dangerous Escapism

Montesquieu famously explained that each system of government has a principle that animates the people within that system. In a democratic republic, the citizens, and presumably the office holders, are driven by the willingness to put the interests of the community ahead of private interests. While every society of sufficient size has factions, the interests of those factions come after the interests of the republic. This is the framework of what dissidents call civic nationalism.

Since the middle of the last century or so, this view of politics has been the exclusive domain of the Right. The Left slowly embraced the partisanship of interest group politics during the cultural revolution of the 1960’s. First it was the array of interest groups in the old New Deal coalition that dominated politics into the 1970’s. That has given way to what we call identity politics today. Meanwhile the Right has stubbornly held to the abstract concepts of republican virtue and civic duty.

One result is that a standard item in the toolkit of Official Conservatism has been the argument against identity politics. Initially, as the Left embraced race politics, this was mostly an argument against pandering to blacks. As the array of identity groups in the radical coalition has expanded, it is now a generalized argument against appealing to the self-interest of groups based on their professed identity. The claim is identity politics is bad for the country, as it pits one group against another.

Tucker Carlson is probably the most vocal opponent of identity politics. He does a bit against it as part of his standard act. The other night, according to this Breitbart piece, he warned people about what will happen when the military is fully woke on identity politics. He asked, “what if the current lunacy turns out to be more than a passing phase? What if woke race obsession is not a fad, but instead an incurable brain virus that’s infected our country’s entire leadership class?”

He then showed a clip of some television performers talking about what Joe Biden should to do to have a diverse administration. Carlson then went on to explain that the people being given spots in the administration are not qualified for the posts, in the sense they have the skills to perform the stated duties. Instead, they are being given jobs to tick boxes on the ideological tick list. He then asks what would happen if the woke warriors take over the military.

It is never fully explained, but the viewer is supposed to come away thinking that this would be very bad. Instead of transgender fighter pilots being selected based on their skill, they would be selected based on their choice of sundress. Instead of based black guy getting promoted for his ability, woke black guy will be promoted because he is really into his blackness. Girls will be installed into special forces units to satisfy the desires of Nth wave feminist, rather than on their ability to fight.

Carlson does not put it that way, but he carefully avoids the implications of what he is saying, as he likes living in a mansion. The truth is, a military composed of the sorts of people the Left says are the future will be a disaster. The promotion of female officers is already showing up in incident reports. The military brass is well to the Left of the American public and they are fully committed to diversity. It is just a matter of time before that institution looks like the rest.

The fact is, Carlson is peddling the same civic nationalist fantasy that conservatives have been peddling for generations. In the face of identity politics, they preach a weird combination of individualism and a sacrifice to principles the other side rejects. His “what if” question is about thirty years too late, as it has been happening since the 1990’s and is accelerating. The real question that needs to be discussed openly is how does one live in a world defined by identity politics?

So far, the stock response from conservative like Carlson is the same answer they have been giving for generations now. That is, white people in general, but conservative whites in particular, have to pretend this is not happening. If they just carry on as if that old republican virtue is the best, eventually the other side will tire of their fads, see the results and return to the civic nationalist fold. In response to the radical advances on every front, civic nationalism has become a cargo cult.

Worse yet, it is a call to docility. The civic nationalist argues that eventually, the truth of radialism will catch up to them and all the good citizens really needs to do is wait for reality to slit the throat of radicalism. Instead of matching the Left’s anti-white rhetoric with pro-white rhetoric, which would be really bad according the civic nationalists, white people just need to embrace their individualism and soon enough things will go their way. UFO cults have greater self-awareness.

At some point, the dumb idea stops being dumb and becomes dangerous. We live in an age where public figures, elected officials, brag about withholding the Covid vaccine from whites in the name of racial vengeance. Not long ago this sort of rhetoric was considered a white nationalist conspiracy theory. How long before some unthinkable racial assault on whites is the new fad among the ruling class? Refusing to accept this reality, as is common with civic nationalist, is suicide.

This would be fine if it was a private form of suicide. If civic nationalists, like Tucker Carlson, simply focused on the work product of the Left, leaving the rest to the imagination of his viewers, that would be fine. Living within the constraints placed upon him by his employer, but seeding the minds of his viewers with the reality of their situation, would be a great service to his people. That’s not what he is doing. He is explicitly telling his viewers to lie back and take it, promising it will be over soon.

Civic nationalism, like libertarianism, is now a form of escapism. It allows the believer to stand on the sideline, not only believing it is the moral high ground, but certain that what is happening on the field will go his way. The principles of a republic, not only have no place in a majority-minority society, they are a dangerous narcotic that prevents the user from accepting reality. Civic nationalism and its traveling partner libertarianism are more dangerous than the identity politics they claim to oppose.

I’ve wondered if some Anglos are simply not genetically capable of being racist/tribal. The South is settled by Royalists and Ulster Scots. However Canadian-style and Yankee anglos just don’t seem capable of it. We are literally flooded with aliens and they still display out-group preferences (whereas some other whites like myself incline towards increased in-group preference).

However americans are heavily armed and have the largest bad-white reservoir in the world. We shall see – from what I see and hear, many white guys are waking up since November.

Hatred of evil is no sin. And biblical love is not mere sentiment, it is action. Loving someone is wanting what’s best for them. What’s best for all people is to live in homogeneous nations amongst their own people. The Bible specifically says that even the tax collectors care for their own families first – i.e. it’s a given that you provide for your own (family, nation, race) first. Loving others above your own is both un-Christian and unnatural.

Whites built societies that eventually provided a small respite, by dint of generations of suffering, hard labor, and ultimately social darwinism. Now that the ratio of deleterious mutants has exceeded what the sane and productive can support, life is reverting to classic uncertainty and strife. Only in White communities will any White find a similar level of social support and like-mindedness. Only White communities have a chance of maintaining any sort of commonweal and better future.

America was actually quite prosperous and a good place to live starting about the late 17th century.
Even Europe was better for about the last 1000 years, and Romans and Greeks lived better then than most Asians do now.
I think we will suffer, war, kill and return to our historical norms in the end. Some dirty deeds between here and there, certain people can’t stay here.
But if we fight we win, and we win all that’s important back.
If we don’t fight given our situation we deserve to go extinct. We will.

The advice in this post could not be more prescient. Engaging with the left on civic nationalist grounds is only getting white people killed and maimed.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/12/prosecutors-decline-charge-black-lives-matter-militant-ran-proud-boy-washington/

Identity matters, and white identity is the only thing large enough to stand up to the other identities. Individualism only condemns us to getting picked off one by one, like atomized Boers in their besieged farmsteads in South Africa.

It’s the great plea to that neutral arbiter that conservatives seem to think exists.

“Reality” will not bring sanity back. Reality with the woke military will be drone strikes against racist rural rednecks. Bad whites are the new Taliban.

Reality will assert itself on the normiecons and CivNats, when the white death camps start. It will not assert itself on radical leftists and make them change their mind about white people.

Our vibrant future will be extended the same way the USSR was able to survive past it’s sell-by date: massive monopolies. We have one aircraft manufacturer, Google controls the US Internet and all advertising, Amazon all retail, etc.

What will be different this time is that China is not woke and they have their own monopolies.

I don’t own a TV, and have never seen a Tucker Carlson show, but I get the impression that he is a huckster trying to capitalize on the desperation of the anti-woke cohort of our citizenry. Now that the coup has succeeded, and a hard tyranny is on the march, these people need some glimmer of hope in order to stave off anxiety about losing their comfort zone. Rather than face reality, and do the hard work of rebellion, they prefer the illusion of false hope as their Soma. Only the return of real hardship will get these couch potatoes… Read more »

Tucker Carlson believes what he is saying, at least most of it. Mainstream advertisers have completely abandoned the show and most of the commercials that run during it are from the My Pillow guy and the people who sell upright walkers and things like that. He has relocated his family to rural Maine and does the show from there after antifa loons started banging on his door in D.C. one night harassing his wife and kids.

Right. At least he’s edgier, or closer to the truth, than any other TV news person. He likes his job and wants to keep it, so he doesn’t go over the line. If he does he’ll be yanked and FOX will slide even further. A few years back I would scream at the tube because O’Reilly and Hannity wouldn’t even make the effort to go as far as Carlson does. Not much as changed. The paycheck, contract, and pension reign supreme. Same as the police force.

Tucker doesn’t want everything to be about race. I don’t either, at least not in 87 percent White America, where the topic of race rarely entered our minds. Our communities, schools, places we shopped, etc were White, and blacks lived somewhere else, with some exceptions. That’s over now, and it’s a new world, and it’s all race, all the time. Tucker doesn’t want to play that game, but that’s too bad because that’s the game now, so he and the rest of us need to get on Team White or we’re going to lose.

A few months ago, Tucker talked about some topic where the leftists were defying nature. I don’t remember the specific topic. Tucker pointed out that “in the end, nature will win, as it always does.” Yet when it comes to race, Tucker wants to think we can have a color-blind multiethnic society, and ignore the ancient gravity and race and ethnicity.

But is what Tucker says in public on his show, what he truly feels or understands? One statment of the truth and he’s cast into the void–an ineffective non-entity. Is that ultimately productive?

Or is it better to continue to point out the incongruities between Joe Normie’s “ideal” of a multi-ethnic society and the behavior of minorities within our current ethnic mix. Because if this approach isn’t, then I, myself, am completely at a loss as how to approach those Whites (Normie CivNats) whom I converse with on such matters.

As I’ve mentioned before, for generations, conservative Whites, if not all Whites in general, never had to deal with this issue as we were the dominant supermajority in this now former country. There was no reason to act according to our own group self interests as there was no competition. Different regions of the former country might have had their own ways of doing things, but there was still an overall American cohesion. Once the civil rights act was passed, Whites began being inculcated into looking out for others interests before their own. After decades of this indoctrination and refusing… Read more »

Nope, other way around. “Racism” never meant a universal principal of discrimination based on race, it only ever meant whites discriminating against blacks.

It’s not that the left doesn’t believe they couldn’t be racist, it’s that they don’t CARE what you think of them. What matters is their opinion of themselves, as righteous and moral actors, and the tacit or increasingly explicit support of those with money and power. You can’t shame the shameless, and regardless there’s no shame in being a racist – i.e. recognizing biological reality and naturally supporting one’s own kin first. They hate you and want your children dead. Only fools care about scoring ideological points against their would-be executioners.

“I am probably safer with just me and a shotgun in the country.”

That’s not working out for the Boers. A loner with a shotgun has no chance when a mob of diversity comes calling on his homestead.

The right failed to crush Antifa-BLM in the big cities on the rationale that “it’s just the big urban cesspools so who cares,” so now Antifa-BLM are slowly but surely expanding their assaults to smaller cities, towns and suburbs.

The right can’t just keeping running away because eventually even the countryside won’t be an adequate escape.

the boers are a totally different scenario. Right now I’d be safer in the country with a shotgun (and dogs and thick lines of trees, hills to mount to get to me) than I am in the diverse metropolis I live in. Let’s see one black person with the wits to even locate me. The American military has proven itself incapable of protecting me and my homeland from invasion.

You are correct, sir. There are still many areas in this country where rabid negroes, SJW’s, and BLM types would never venture. Living in a heavily wooded area with rough terrain and a sparse population of hard core rednecks will inoculate you from the madness. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is an alternative. For example, do a little research on Pushmataha County, Oklahoma. George Wallace won a plurality of the county’s vote in the 1968 Presidential Election and not much has changed there since then. That’s just one small example. Most of the State of West Virginia would… Read more »

Let’s not forget that there has never been a ‘white identity’, before. Particularly in Europe. We were all rivals and spent a couple of thousand years scrapping with one another intermittently. There was no need for a white identify. As for non-whites, there were so few in Europe that most people never saw one. It was mainly traders/sailors and those who colonized other countries that did. So there would be zero use for such a thing. Britain only took on migrants en-masse from around 1947 (I wonder who influenced that decision?)

That’s why the Women’s Equality Party and every female talking head on British TV wants more women on the board or as CEOs. Never Project Managers, head of Sales, CFO, Head Legal Counsel, or Chief Operations Officer. All those jobs have total responsibility (the buck stops there) and accountability. The board?

We’ve already passed the tipping point and we cannot “talk” our way out of the mess we’re in. As such, no discussion of macro ideas is going to be of any consequence when the boot of tyranny arrives at your door. The only ideas that should concern you now are the ones that will keep you alive. There is no cavalry coming over the hill to save you. It’s time to man-up and take responsibility for your own safety and well-being. And be serious about it. This is not a drill.

Interesting concept. Better than scooping up 2nd tier “Prajeets” like our tech companies. Also, I suspect Chinese companies don’t have the bias against older personnel as exists in American companies. On the other hand, I don’t particularly want any more to do with China on any level. Given our new administration, I suspect however it will be in six months the same situation as before Trump took office.

This is not a new phenomenon. I have been watching this happen in the tech sector for at least ten years, but it has intensified over the past few years as the push for diversity has gathered steam. It’s been happening in the government contracting sector for decades. And it’s not just older workers, as the article implies. The diversity push at Big Tech has predictably resulted in lots of younger and mid-level whites, especially men, getting passed over in favor of lesser-skilled diversity candidates. Smaller companies and non-US companies are finding Big Tech to be fertile ground for poaching… Read more »

There are several things I’m fairly sure of. One of them is that playing with identity politics is playing with fire, and that the other is making assumptions about groups of people often ends badly. Civic nationalism works just fine when you have a fairly homogeneous society with people born into it and steeped in it for generations. Taking people from a completely alien background and expecting them to take up those values is like trying to teach your dog to whistle. What you end up with then is having to play identity politics, and history tells us intense tribalism… Read more »

Yes to all of this. And both the Progs and CivNats believe that they are safe behind those gated community wrought iron fences with the minimum wage security guard sitting in the booth up front. And if the Antifa riots should arrive at their doorstep, they faithfully believe that the police will intervene to save them (yes, those same PDs that are being de-funded and humiliated). And finally, they are completely oblivious to the reality that no one will mourn their loss if BLM decides to burn down their houses with them in it.
