The Great Men On The Melting Pot Myth

Tucked
into an epic post about the myth of immigrant assimilation into
America over history, written by the blogger and hatefact analyst M.G., is a
shivvily shimmering quote by late 19th-early 20th Century economist (and
progressive) J. R. Commons:
We
find that our democratic theories and forms of government were fashioned by but
one of the many races and peoples which have come within their practical
operation, and that that race, the so-calledAnglo-Saxon, developed them
out of its own insular experience unhampered by inroads of alien stock. When
once thus established in England and further developed in America we find that other
races and peoples, accustomed to despotism and even savagery, and wholly
unused to self-government, have been thrust into the delicate fabric. Like a
practical people as we pride ourselves, we have begun actually to
despotize our institutions in order to control these dissident elements, though
still optimistically holding that we retain the original democracy.
M.G. adds, “Commons wrote these words in 1907; he may
just as well have penned them last week.”
Commons understood the
threat of open borders and the danger of demographic replacement of the native
stock of people who created the civilization that attracts the world’s
benighted. He, like, ahem, we here at CH, understand all too well the abiding
truth of the formulation
DIVERSITY + PROXIMITY = WAR
and that this WAR can
manifest in many ways, including as a slow but inexorable corruption of the
civilized institutions which must accommodate, with increasing tension
proportional to the numerical pressures, the different and often antagonistic
values of the genetically and culturally distinct migrants.
And just how much
danger is there of the dispossession of America’s NW European White Man
creators, builders and maintainers?
The term “self-cucked”
comes to mind.
Bonus: Commons nailed
the motivations of the ruling elite and reasons they embrace open borders and
try to sell their self-interest with equalist rhetoric.
It is an easy and patriotic matter
for the lawyer, minister, professor, employer, or investor, placed
above the arena of competition, to proclaim the equal right of all races to
American opportunities; to avow his own willingness to give way should even a
better Chinaman, Hindu, or Turk come in to take his place; and to rebuke the
racial hatred of those who resist this displacement. His patriotism and
world-wide brotherhood cost him and his family nothing, and indeed
they add to his profits and leisure.
Where
are the men of Commons’ perspicacity today? If ever the nation needed their
clear thinking and their courage, now is the time. Perhaps Trump will pick up
the banner of Realtalk™ and march with it over the battlefield, crushing
ethnomasochistic, autogenocidal shitlibs underfoot. We’ll see.
