I feel caught between the dominant and suffocating paradigm of \u201chodge-podge\u201d multiculturalists who are constructing a world without a center on the one hand and on the other the increasingly embittered minority, but possibly growing number, of white nationalists who advocate a purist white ethno-state.<\/p>\n<p>I know that does not capture the reality in its totality. I can see that from interacting with my family-by-marriage, my friends, my neighbors, and other community members. But on the ether of the internet and the blogosphere, there seems to this binary, Manichean construct of either hodge-podgism or racial fundamentalism.<\/p>\n<p>So I find Mr. Sailer\u2019s \u201ccitizenism\u201d refreshing in a \u201cretro\u201d sort of way, founded upon an HBD\/race realist foundation but also gentlemanly and hopeful at the same time. May it be the future again.<\/p>\n<p>* I wonder what hodgepodgidized milk would taste like \u2014 and if it would be kosher enough to drink in Postville.<\/p>\n<p>* Before I heard of Steve or citizenism, I was already thinking along the thought process. More of a patriotic: America, yeehaw, love it or leave it mentality. If immigrants can find the gumption to leave their own for a new one, then they should also be able to adopt their new homes cultural ways. First generation immigrants see it that way because they want to make a better life for their children (or so we are told by Authorities on the subject).<\/p>\n<p>America doesn\u2019t work that way. Not on the ground level of 2nd-3rd generation immigrants hitting their IQ levels and flat-lining against the other ethnic groups, or the clannish us-against-the-world types, or the lost-identity types who merge into the vacuum of multicultural excess encouraged by college campuses across the nation. Besides, it\u2019s cool to \u201cjust be yourself\u201d which is code for be Black and Proud, or Mexican and Proud, or\u2026 yadda, yadda, yadda. Why conform? Every opportunity and hand up is given to you just because you aren\u2019t white. Who wouldn\u2019t take that deal? (besides most blacks)<\/p>\n<p>Now asking those people above to agree with Steve\u2019s citizenism, the idea that we can all be in on an immigration restriction platform together because we are already here, is a reach. Especially when the main point of coming to the US is to get settled\u2026 and then bring in the rest of the family on technicalities and \u201creuniting\u201d the family tropes. They\u2019re in, and they want to bring Mom, Dad, Sis, Bro, Auntie, Uncle, Gramma, 2nd cousin once removed, and\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>My ideal state would be a 90% majority white country, with a healthy paternal tolerance towards the 10% minority. That is about as stable as a nation can get without being 100% homogeneous.<\/p>\n<p>But since we slipping down from 90\u2026 to 80\u2026 to the 77% white we are at now\u2026 then it will be 60\u2026 then 50%. Obama can expect that folks are just becoming more tolerant, but he admitted that people aren\u2019t able to express those views as openly as they were just 10 years ago. So is the tolerance going up or is the megaphone against dissent getting louder? And if you look at the political opinions of most whites are most \u201cconservative\u201d they are usually located to heavy minority areas. One expects that as whites become a smaller share of the population and their daily encounters with minorities increases from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2, then what? Does the megaphone go full blast if they start to speak out against the Latin Americanization of their country (which from the standpoint of a White Westerner, is a step down, not a step up, the ladder of politics)?<\/p>\n<p>Citizenism might have worked if the immigrant population was stabilized in 1990. Now? Not a chance. Immigration and birth rates have already inexorably altered the demographic trajectory towards a white plurality, decline. White Nationalism seems like the only viable option left on the table, that is if you\u2019re not willing to SNL skit-it-up and \u201chand it on over to Mexicans\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>* The POTUS is setting the stage for purges, but he forgets that the tribe of northern Europeans possess the most complete skills sets for organization, adaptation, and fulfillment. All they require is a cause. All things being equal, the tribe with plurality wins, but all things are not equal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments to Steve Sailer: * Sometimes, not always, but sometimes, in rare moments of despair, I wonder whether there is any longer space for an old-style assimilationist that I am.
