One of the strange aspects of
the last century of American politics is that the defining arguments have all
happened on the losing side. The winners have always been sure about what they
want and what they are willing to do to get it. It is the losers who have
always been squabbling with one another about the proper response or the
meaning of the latest failure. National Review types always used to argue that
all the interesting debates were on their side, rather than on the side of
their alleged adversaries.
They were not wrong about that, even though they were deluded
about who they were really fighting. For at least forty years and maybe longer,
all of the arguments have been on the Right. That’s the thing though, they were
always fighting the people to their right, the people now forming the new
opposition. It is easy to get down about what is happening in our time, but the one thing we can point
to is that there is an authentic alternative forming up now. The veil has been
lifted for more of us now than any time in the past.
Of course, we remain a tiny minority, even within the white
population. George Hawley, the left-wing college professor from the University
of Alabama, estimates that the dissident population is in the 6% range, which
would be about ten percent of the white population, give or take. Greg Hood,
the main writer at American Renaissance, is bit more optimistic, as he thinks
the data says there are many more “leaners” in the population, but his number
is still small. You can read Greg’s review of Hawley’s numbers
here.
The point is, the vast
majority of white people remain in the civic nationalist camp. About 25% of
whites identify as Progressive, so that leaves about 65% in the civic
nationalist, dissident right and indifferent buckets. This is what the
alt-right learned the hard way two summers ago. They held a rally and 500
people showed up, but 2,000 opponents showed up. Many of those protesting the
alt-right were MAGA hat wearing CivNats. Even more crucial, s solid plurality
of white people blamed both sides for the violence.
It’s why the math of democracy makes white survival an
impossibility. That 25% of whites who lock arms with the 40% who are non-white
gets the anti-whites close enough to a permanent majority that they are the
default option in an election. It’s why they put all their energy into making
sure blacks,Jews, migrants and lesbians are super-angry. The
left just needs the turnout and they win. They know the math of democracy too.
That means the future is the Kavanaugh hearings over and over until you’re
dead.
That’s the lesson and the reason for this letter. The civic
nationalists need to look at that circus on their television and know that is
their future. The people who are rejecting due process and the presumption of
innocence don’t look like you. They don’t sound like you. They don’t believe
what you believe. More important, they don’t love what you love or hate what
you hate. What they are willing to live and die for does not include you,
because you don’t look like them or sound like them. You can never be on their
side and they know it.
When you appeal to their sense of civic virtue, all you are doing is
encouraging them to punch you in the face again. That’s
because their civic virtue is not your civic virtue. It can never be
otherwise. After decades of work to train blacks, for example, to embrace civic
nationalism, they still cling to their own ideas and their own hatreds. It
turns out that those racists you guys were always trying to run off were right
after all. Civil society is a white man’s thing. It is not an idea. It is the
result of white people living in their own lands.
Now, I know a lot of civic nationalists. Many of them post
comments here. Some of my best friends are civic nationalists. Many will beg at
the tiny feet of Ben Shapiro, convinced it is ideology not race, until he slams
the oven door on them. Just look at South Africa, where whites are being
slaughtered by blacks. Yet, many whites refuse to accept the reality of their
situation. The father of Mollie Tibbetts, the white girl murdered by an
invader, cares more of his civic virtue than
his own child. Some people can’t be saved.
On the other hand, if you are watching this circus in Washington
and wondering if it is all coming apart, you may want to take a moment and look
hard at the scene. It is a white man going through trial by ordeal, something
white people banned 1500 years ago. The people putting him through that ordeal
don’t look like you. They don’t believe what you believe. They mock what you
believe. They think things like due process and rule of law are the white
man’s law, not their law. Their law is what you see on your
television.
You need to ask yourself, is there really any way to tame them
that has not already been tried? Is there an argument that is going to cause Debra Katz or Michael Bromwich to
reconsider their war on white people? Will Maxine Waters or Kamala Harris ever
agree with you? You sat and watched Judge Kavanaugh give a stirring speech in
defense of decency and civic justice that Cicero would have found moving. Think
about all that has been said and written in favor of civil nationalism, yet,
here we are anyway.
More important and this
is where you as a civic nationalist either head down the road to Damascus or
heads into the darkness. Look at the fruits of civic nationalism. The champions
of the constitutional order and rule of law are all sitting on the Republican
side, getting rolled by the non-white rage heads responsible for this circus.
The professional civic nationalists have built out a well financed system to
promote your cause. Yet here they are getting clobbered again. If they can’t
win this fight, what can they win?
Look. I get it. In your heart you know our side is right about
“the race stuff.”. It’s why you moved to a neighborhood with good schools and a
bad basketball team. It’s why you support Israel and oppose Islam. You
know that only in a society run by white men, can there be anything resembling
civil order. You hate yourself for it so you have created all sorts of ways to
show you’re not an anti-Semite or conceal your real feelings toward blacks.
It’s hard to put down that steamer trunk of guilt you have been taught to
carry.
I get it. All of us on this side of the great divide get it. All
of us have made the journey you will have to make. It’s not easy to accept that
all the stuff you have been taught about the constitution and patriotism was
just a way to blind you to the approaching darkness. Now you have a chance to
open your eyes and see what comes next if you don’t begin your journey to this
side. That circus on your television is not going to just fade away. it is a
glimpse into the future, of your children’s future and your grandchildren’s
future.
No matter what you choose, the years
ahead will be every bit as ugly as the spectacle unfolding on our televisions
and on social media. The Great Brown Army believes this is their time to the
destroy the white patriarchy, by which they mean white America. The fight to
stop it is going to ugly and you will have to get used to thinking about things
in a way that used to feel wrong. But, the fight is going to happen whether you
snap out of your daze or remain in the CivNat delusion. The question before you
is which side are you on?
