A Blurb for Bowden

A small Ted Sallis contribution.

Greg Johnson asked me to write a short introductory blurb for a compilation book of the comic book-related work of the late Jonathan Bowden.  I agreed to do so, and the following is what I submitted to Johnson:

Jonathan Bowden, a leading New Right thinker, will be remembered for the many important contributions he made to our cause.  However, I suspect that his interest in comic books puzzled even those who were among his most ardent admirers.  What’s so important about a comic book, they wonder?  As someone who has also written about comics, I answer thus: comic books are, like it or not, part of our modern popular culture, and we ignore that culture at our peril.  Our enemies use all forms of media to propagandize their message (as should we!), and they have for decades very effectively utilized the comic format to mold the minds of White youth.  For a very long time now, the Left has been practicing “deconstructivism” on our beliefs, our ideals, our traditions, our worldview, undermining the foundation upon which a people survive and thrive.  This assault has been done with malice aforethought and we are suffering mightily from it.  But, the Culture of Critique – borrowing a phrase from Dr. Kevin MacDonald – can cut in both directions.  It is high time that the New Right practices some deconstructing of its own.  If the cultural artifacts of the West can be subjected to a continuous intellectual dissection, does not the work of our opponents deserve the same?  But here Bowden goes beyond negative criticism; indeed, a considerable portion of this volume is positive commentary on more healthy expressions to be found in comics, graphic novels, and fantasy literature – almost always in those works produced by racially European creators.  After all, with a title like “Pulp Fascism,” there will be much here that strikes a chord in the Western soul.  There is hope for the comics, and there is a way for us of the Right to make use of them.  After all, what’s the point of deconstruction?  Simply this: to clear away the old to make way for the new.  We therefore await the new genre of the overtly Neo-Fascist graphic novel.  I think Mr. Bowden would have enjoyed that prospect, and if you, dear reader, feel the same, then this volume is for you.  Read and enjoy.  – Ted Sallis

It was later put up on Counter-Currents; which is linked to here. 

Psychological Mechanisms of White Dispossession

Important new Kevin MacDonald article.

Key points in the conclusion (emphasis added):

So in summary, there appear to be three basic mechanisms tending to make White displacement psychologically palatable to Whites:

·                          self-interest resulting in competition among Whites to engage in ever more ridiculous displays of self-abasement and love of diversity and multiculturalism; such displays benefit individuals because of the very elaborate infrastructure that rewards such displays;

·                          social learning facilitated by the prestige associated with dominating the intellectual high ground of the society, thus giving Whites the comfort of having the same attitudes as elite institutions like the New York Times and informing others that one is intelligent and well-read;

·                          feelings of moral rectitude resulting from subscribing to the moral dictates of the society as defined by media and academic elites. Since these elites unanimously regard the traditional people and culture of the West as uniquely immoral, dissenting from these views results in shame and guilt, whereas going with the flow results in very positive feelings that one is a member in good standing of the mainstream society.

All of these processes  discussed here depend on elite control. Without elite control, there is no infrastructure that makes displays of guilt and abasement profitable. Social learning only becomes a weapon against Whites after the forces opposed to Whites control the elite media and the academic world; the same can be said for the creation of moral ingroups.

The "HBD race realists" should talk more about things like this, rather than just about how "big-brained, high-IQ and law-abiding" all those East Asian "model minorities" are.

The "HBD race realists" have a lot to answer for.

Same old story.

What really is the difference between that and aging HBD White males (not "men") praising East Asian attributes in exchange for their younger Chinese wives?  Treason?

More on Gene-Culture Interactions

Levantines and Chinese as examples.

Quote (emphasis added):

Alexander Platt talks about inferring population history using haplotypes. Of interest: during the last 1,000 generations there are more coalescences between Beijing Chinese and Japanese rather than Beijing Chinese and southern Chinese; in more recent times, there are more coalescences between Chinese groups. This makes some sense, if we suppose that -as seems likely- Mongoloids spread north-to-south across China during prehistory; the Japanese are thus linked -in older times- with northern Chinese, both of which are mostly descended from the northern Mongoloids; in more recent times, especially after the emergence of a uniquely Chinese polity and culture, the Chinese tend to marry other Chinese, hence they share more recent common ancestors within the country itself.

The same can apply to Europe and any (relatively small) potential kinship overlap that may currently exist between Europeans and non-Europeans.  Once a “Western Imperium” is established, and gene flow from outside is stopped, over time, genetic distance between those groups within the Imperium and those outside will increase.  Thus, even if there is no increase in gene flow within the Imperium, the fact that a genetic division will be established with the “outer groups” will ensure that Europeans will, over time, form an ever more cohesive genetic grouping, more clearly separated from non-Europeans.  Thus, proximate influences ultimate, and genetic boundaries can become increasingly well matched with political-cultural-civilizational boundaries once gene flow between civilizational groups is stopped.  And there is more than enough genetic diversity within each civilizational bloc to satisfy biological requirements in the absence of any inter-continental and inter-civilizational gene flow.

Gene-Culture Interactions in the Levant

Culture can alter genetic differentiation and, hence, influence ethnic genetic interests.

The proximate and the ultimate are related, and cannot be fully separated.
