Contemporary White Nationalism and Supremacy

SIEG HEIL! WE'RE TOO LAZY TO MOVE TO WEST VIRGINIA!

White Nationalism is the belief that "white" people collectively make up a nation, and that they deserve a
"white homeland", a geological region which "non-white" people are not allowed to enter.

White Supremacy is White Nationalism, with the added tenet that "white" people are genetically superior to all other people.



Besides these basic beliefs, there are many other facets to these ideologies which are worth mentioning if you really want to have anything more than a basic understanding of them.

(Why would you want to understand these ideologies? Simple: so you can subsequently defeat them.)

The Mantra

First of all, they have a mantra. It was written by political activist and former Reagan Administration employee Bob Whitaker. This mantra is used by white nationalists/supremacists to a sheer obnoxious degree, copy-pasted all over social media sites as if it's some kind of death blow to any counter-argument.

Let's take a look:

"ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and 'assimilating' with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to 'assimilate,' i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white."

This is actually the best they've got. This is pretty much their Ten Commandments. It isn't just a few of them pounding this mantra to death: I'm not picking on just a few crazies here. This is extremely prevalent among them: I haven't spoken to a single one who wasn't aware of it (and I've spoken to a lot of white nationalists).

Impressed? Me neither.

I'd like to analyze the mantra and set straight exactly what's wrong with it. If you're a white nationalist and seriously too thick to see how moronic it is, pay close attention.

"ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!"

Stop right there. You've mentioned Asia as a continent. You've mentioned Africa as a continent. But then, you say white countries instead of Europe. How delightfully sneaky. What you're implying here is that countries where whites are immigrants or descendants of immigrants rightfully belong to whites, despite the fact that the basis of your "genocide" argument is immigration! Am I wrong? Why else would you choose to say white countries instead of Europe?

Oh, I get it. Whites are special. Whites deserve more than just Europe: they deserve any and all countries they've immigrated to. But non-whites, oh no, they should just stay put, and if white people come and take over, they can just suck it up.

Also: you do know there's more than just three continents on Earth, right...? I find it very convenient that Australia is left out here. Its inclusion would would be simply embarrassing to your argument: Australia is a formerly-nonwhite country/continent which has become white-majority, completely defeating the notion that only white countries experience mass immigration. Furthermore, in Australia, this process was in part genocidal, making your claims about white genocide look extremely petty.

"Everybody says there is this RACE problem."

They do? When did this happen? Who is "everybody"?   

"Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries."

Yeah, again, who says this? I can assure you, it is certainly not "everybody". I've never heard anybody make this claim.

"The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and 'assimilating' with them."

I don't even know where to begin with this one. Okay...Japan is not crowded. Japan's population is actually collapsing and showing no signs of slowing down. And yes, people are realizing that the only way this can be fixed is for Japan to relax its stance on immigration.

And I still don't know where the hell you're getting the claim that everybody thinks The Netherlands and Belgium have a "race problem" and it can only be fixed by immigration. You seem to be confused about what actually causes immigration: it's not caused by "everybody" saying it should happen. People don't just pick up and move to another country just because "oh, everybody is saying we should flood white countries, let's go!" That's just not how it works, sorry.

C'mon people, let's go! We got a race problem to fix! Hurry up, Europe ain't gonna fix itself!

 People immigrate for many reasons, but for Europe and "white countries", a malicious attempt to usurp white people is not one of the reasons. It's not something that's done lightly. Have you lived in more than one house during your life? Do you remember moving to the new house? It's kind of a pain in the ass, isn't it?

A better question is, do you remember why you moved? You already have a home: why move? Were you forced out of your old home? Is your new home better than your old one? Sorry to disappoint you, but non-whites aren't just mindless drones who swarm a location just because they can: they actually have similar thought processes that anybody else does when moving to a new location.

One only needs to realize that Europe, Australia, and North America have some of the highest standards of living in the world, to understand why people from other continents want to immigrate.

"Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to 'assimilate,' i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites."

 Yeah, nobody says this. Even if they did, I fail to see what's so horrible about interracial marriage.

"What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?"

If you said that, do you really think it would mobilize thousands of non-black people? You think saying "we need to bring non-blacks into every black country" is some kind of magic phrase which would turn people into zombies and make them swarm into Africa? What is wrong with you?

So what if you said that? Nobody would care. I know you had political influence in the past, but you're not exactly the Queen of England. Also, you seem to be missing the crucial point that people don't want to move to black countries. That's the reason there's comparatively little immigration there. It's not some conspiracy...African countries overall tend to have a lower standard of living than European countries. If they had a higher standard of living, there would be an increase in immigration.

"How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?"

If you did actually say that, it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't have any bearing on anything. If African countries had a HIGHER standard of living than European countries, Europeans would be immigrating to African countries regardless of what you say about the issue. It wouldn't be a conspiracy to wipe out Africans: it would be people migrating because they're looking for higher standards of living. Nutjobs like you, raving about immigration as a means to fix a "black problem", would be ignored, because you're completely out of touch with reality.

"And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?"

What kind of psycho would get all upset just because people with different phylogenetic traits are establishing a closer proximity to them?

"But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews."

Except it's not obvious. Immigration is not genocide.

I find it funny how white nationalists all want to distance themselves from the label of "Nazi". Only a few embrace the term or partake in skinhead culture. The rest are quick to denounce these people as a non-existent stereotype or at least reject these labels. But when you're confronted with the reality that you are linked with neo-Nazis and skinheads by a common "white pride" ideology, how willing are you to speak out against them? They're more your friend than your enemy, are they not? And yet, on the surface, you want to appear respectable, so you take every chance you get to deny that you sympathize with any Nazi ideology.

"They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white."

Alright, let me get this straight. An anti-white is someone who claims to be anti-racist? So you don't like people who claim to be anti-racist, regardless of whether they're actually racist towards whites or not.

I'm an anti-racist. However, I reject this notion that this automatically means I'm "anti-white". I am against racism, period. Towards any socially determined group of people. That includes whites. Anti-racist is not a codeword for anything. This accusation is nothing but paranoia.

The Hijacking of Beliefs and Symbols

Next, I'd like to address some of the occult and religious ideologies which have gained notoriety from being associated with neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

Humans in general borrow symbols all the time. The Biblical cross was not always a religious symbol: it was a torture device used by the Romans. Symbols help to unite groups of people under a common identity, which is why they are so powerful.

White nationalists and supremacists are no exception, but they have the added effect of demonizing whatever symbols they choose to "borrow", effectively ruining them for everybody else.

The most obvious example of this is the swastika. An ancient symbol of esoteric values dating back to the Bronze Age Indus Valley, it was first used a racist symbol by Nazi Germany during World War II, and continues to be used today by various white pride organizations. The symbol is now banned in modern-day Germany.

Oh look, a pinwheel!

The Nazis merged many other occult symbols into their collective identity, many of which are not commonly known to most people today, such as the black sun. However, many other symbols and occult ideologies the Nazis took an interest in are rising in popularity among white nationalists and supremacists, both as individuals and as organizations.

Most notably, I refer to Norse paganism, which can be referred to under a few different labels, such as "Odinism", "Norse neopaganism", "Germanic neopaganism", or "Asatru".

These beliefs take many forms, and can be interpreted any number of ways, with the common uniting factor being a focus on Norse mythology. I must make one thing very clear: not everybody who practices these beliefs is a racist. In fact, most people who practice some form of Odinism or have an interest in it, are not racist, and resent neo-Nazis giving it a bad name.

There is some confusion over whether Hitler himself desired a revival of occult European belief systems, or rather rejected all notions of organized religion. A member of the SS, Karl Maria Wiligut, along with Heinrich Himmler, are probably responsible for the Nazi attempt at a revival of Norse occultism. Wiligut modified the Elder Futhark runic alphabet, and began using some of the symbols on flags and uniforms. A rune called "Algiz", which represents "life" or "death", depending on how it's positioned, was also used on gravestones to mark the "birth" and "death" dates of somebody.

Are they going to hijack peace signs next?

Today, the use of Norse mythological beliefs and symbols is much more prevalent among white pride movements than it was in Nazi Germany. Since the swastika is banned in some places, and claiming a group as merely a religious group can offer tax-exempt status in some countries, Odinism serves as an effective tool for recruiting and uniting racists.

The "life" rune, "Algiz", continues to be one of the most commonly-used runes. It shows up on flags, picket signs, and in the logo for the National Alliance (a neo-Nazi organization):

Oh look, a peace sign!

Another commonly-seen rune is "Odal", which means "heritage". First used by a division of the Nazi SS, it is now used by many neo-Nazi organizations and individuals.

It's also a racism awareness ribbon. I wear the black for my old Uncle Cleetus.

A general defining motif of Odinism, somewhat comparable to the Christian crucifix, is the Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor. Many people who practice Odinism wear this symbol, often as a pendant, or as a tattoo. It is also worn by other pagans or people who simply have an aesthetic appreciation for it. Since the revival of Norse paganism among white nationalists however, the Mjolnir has gained considerable favor among them.

And yeah, they're probably compensating for something (which is why you never see black men wearing it).

Another Norse symbol, although not part of the runic alphabet, known as the "Valknut", is a recent addition to neo-Nazi imagery (and can also be seen on the banner for this blog).

Non-racists such as myself enjoy this symbol. Suck it, neo-Nazis.

So is the use of these beliefs justified? Is Odinism inherently racist?

Well, that's the great thing about belief systems: you can interpret them any way you want to. You can use symbols any way you want to.

From Stormfront:

My response to this melodramatic whining is simple: If you want to believe "Odinism IS the white race" (despite the fact that it isn't the only indigenous belief system in Europe, and arguably only applies to Scandinavians), or that Vikings cared about "racial purity", you can go ahead and do that. If you want to believe that every other interpretation of this religion is incorrect, you can do that. Nobody is stopping you.

But you aren't going to stifle other interpretations. You aren't going to stop people like me from wearing Mjolnir pendants even though I'm not even an Odinist. You're not going to convince me that Odinism is only for white people.

I find ideas of cultural homogeneity to be fallacious. There is no such thing as a pure culture. Everything came from something else, and every culture has been influenced by some other culture. Furthermore, to suggest that only people with certain DNA can practice certain beliefs, is a petty mindset which has laid the foundation for many conflicts and wars. I might also add that only a tiny amount of genetic variation in the human genome accounts for racial diversity. Anybody who argues that their traditions belong to them, and cannot be practiced by people who are different, are arguing that their their <0.1% difference in phenotype makes them special. 

Many nationalists will argue that all people are special, and all deserve to retain their cultural heritage. However, in the face of history, where culture and genome have never been stagnant, and never been pure, it's an empty sentiment.

You are not special. Nobody is special. Nobody has a right to tell anybody else that they cannot use certain beliefs or symbols just because of a tiny difference in genetic phenotype.

Ironically, nationalists will often argue that mixed-race people are inherently devoid of heritage: yet it is precisely the mindset that they perpetuate, that heritage belongs to the "pure", which oppresses mixed-race people and restricts them from seeking cultural expression.

Ironically, this is possibly the whitest thing I've ever seen.

Jews

I'll probably address this at length in its own post, but for now, I just want to summarize this belief which seems to be a requirement for being a white nationalist, and not only that, but a cornerstone of the ideology. It's terribly cliche and unoriginal at this point, but here it is:

White nationalists hate Jews. They think Jews are evil. They think Jews rule the world and want to kill all white people, because white people are the only ones smart enough to overthrow the Jews, so obviously killing all the white people is a crucial step towards world domination.

Part of the plan is to make terrible movies which will make people question their will to live.

For obvious reasons, the Jews-are-evil trope is nothing more than paranoia: anybody can be a Jew. It doesn't matter what "race" you are or where you're from: Jew  is not a race. Just look at Rob Schneider. You don't even have to be born into it: you can convert to Judaism if you please.

So unless you have some kind of proof that Judaism is like a magic spell which transforms people into evil world-dominating psychos, shut up.
