For the longest time, the
argument against the Progressive project, which in America means
multiculturalism as a civic religion, is that the various tribes in the
coalition of the ascendant would turn on one another. The laws used to punish
white people for being competent society builders would be used by the new
tribes against the coalition and the whole thing would collapse. Then there was
the point that the people leading the coalition are the most tribal people on
earth. This is now playing out in the lawsuit
against Harvard.
Harvard is not about education. It is about the credentials.
When you major in math at Harvard, or any elite college, you are not learning a
different math from the math majors at UMass/Boston. Look through the course
catalog of an elite college and it is noticeably less rigorous
than most state universities. Entrance to an elite university is both a proxy
IQ test and social proof. If you get accepted to Harvard, you are smart enough
to be in the elite and you have the correct combination of innate virtues to be
in the ruling elite.
What’s playing out in
this Harvard lawsuit is that the dominant tribe in the coalition is fighting to
defend its position against this insurgent tribe, that has figured out how to
game the admissions system. In order to prevent Harvard
from becoming 50% Asian, they have rigged the system to prevent that
from happening. The trouble, of course, is
this is just the same sort of discrimination that Jews argued against last
century. Instead of WASP’s blocking Jews from admission, it is Jews blocking
Asians on cultural grounds.
It’s important to remember that
this is not about access to an education. Exactly no one thinks you learn more
at Harvard than at UCLA or the University of Virginia. In fact, land grant
universities, like Michigan or Wisconsin, offer vastly better education
facilitates than the Ivy League colleges. What Harvard has is a credential that
opens the doors to the nation’s ruling elite. At Harvard, you are with the
future rulers of this land and that’s not something the current ruling tribe is
interested in sharing with the newcomers.
The most probable outcome of this is the court eventually sides
with Harvard, by fashioning some ludicrous exception to the laws that govern
everyone else. After all, the current Supreme Court is made up of six Harvard
grads and three Yale grads. Look down the roster of the Federal bench and you
won’t see many guys name Wong who graduated from Cal State Fullerton. The whole
point of seizing power is to use it to reward your friends and punish your
enemies. The people in charge have always known this.
Now, this is amusing from the perspective of the Dissident
Right, but it is also useful, in that it proves an essential point. That is,
individualism is a sure way to get trampled by a motivated identity group. The
people on top of the Progressive coalition got there by sticking together and
working for their common good. The people suing them over admissions practices
are doing so as a group. In the world of Progressive politics, group identity
is the top level domain, it trumps everything else in the fight for position.
The same thing is happening
to America as we slide into majority-minority status. As of 2011, America was
60% non-Hispanic white. A majority of school aged children are non-white. Given
the endless flood of migrants into the country, the die is cast. Within the
next generation, whites in America will be a minority. Given the level of
nastiness we see towards whites all over the popular culture, while whites
remain a majority, imagine how aggressive and violent our new overlords will be
when we are a clear minority.
This proves the other point about the multicultural creed being
imposed on us by our rulers. It inevitably must lead to lawlessness and group
identity politics. Lee
Kuan Yewwas right, “In multiracial societies, you don’t vote in
accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in
accordance with race and religion.” That is the lesson of history. Look at
majority-minority places around the world, or even cities in America with large
minority populations. Everyone puts their tribe above all else.
For whites in America this will be tough to accept. For
generations now, white people have been bathed in the poaching liquid of
individualism. Subversives like Ben Shapiro still preach this stuff, even while
he sports a yarmulke and fingers his two passports. The frontier mentality has
become a part of the romantic mythology of an America most white people cling
to like a life raft. Libertarianism is really just a weird romanticism for a
past that never existed and future that has been foreclosed by
multiculturalism.
This will change as
reality becomes more clear. The general lawlessness we see among our ruling
classes is not unnoticed. When white people enter “white couple” in a google
image search and it returns all race mixers, a white
identitarian is born. This battle between our would-be over-class and our
current over-class is the sort of thing that opens the eyes of white people
about the reality of America. Those notions about individualism and a frontier
culture are giving way to a sense that it is time to defend our own.
