Falsehoods About America

 From a discussion elsewhere:

If you were someone who hung out in the White Nationalist-adjacent parts of the Internet at the right time you noticed a huge influx of people from 2013-2015, or at least this was my firsthand impression. WNism was a very niche thing before this, so that even though I don't think the absolute numbers were particularly impressive compared to what was there before it was quite a lot. A lot of relatively "normal" people, as opposed to the born incorrigibles who are naturally drawn to extreme politics, flooded into the movement. On the one hand, there were quite a few political events that probably precipitated this: the Trayvon Martin shooting, the Ferguson riots, BLM, and the Obama Presidency. But what has been much less discussed is the pop culture atmosphere that I think informed a lot of early 2010s WNism: Skyrim, Vikings, and Game of Thrones. This was the "white ethnostate" that was constructed in the imagination, which is the only place it could be since "white people" is not a real ethnic group with a real history. Even (or perhaps especially) liberals could enjoy this so long as it was confined to the television, and they could dream of a world where feminist slogans they had to profess in public didn't get in the way of rape fantasies.

"In fact, the only reason people like Game of Thrones and other fantasy stories is because they are part of a new shadow genre that I’m going to call ethnocentric fiction. This story constructs itself as an authentic medieval fantasy in order to fill in the backstory of an ethnic identity where history provides none. In much the same way that there was a period during the civil rights era when some black leaders tried to espouse a fiction that the ancestors of the slaves in Africa were all warrior kings and queens because there really isn’t any clear history of the millenia of human civilization in subsaharan Africa prior to slavery, this fantasy fiction is doing the same for northern European whites."

I have seen this same "hot take" from pretentious Eurofags.  America is not a real place, Americans are not a real people, Americans don't really have a history.  Well, to the extent they believe this, the Eurofags are about as illiterate as the Americans they project their illiteracy onto.  We are no fans of the modern state of America, which since a long time I have called Amrika to emphasize its inherently alien character, although others have called it Usonia, or Clown World, or whatever.  But this is an intellectually bankrupt position.

To the extent any of the above is true, it's because the actual history has either been forgotten, or we are pretending that it didn't really exist.  Similar unfortunate things have happened in cultural revolutions in the past, in other lands (China and Russia in the 20th century, or France in the late 18th).  Neoliberalism has most assuredly been complicit in the wiping out of American cultural memory, and the indoctrinating of the populace into the submental viewpoints above that we're not a real people with no real culture or history.  That doesn't mean I have to go along with it.  If there's one thing I'm great at, it's not going along.

I'll give you a hint.  If you look at old histories of the USA, which I must be one of about 10 people in the country to have read anymore, you find even from a very early date that there were four distinct regions each with their own character.  New England/Yankeedom/Puritania, Quakerdom/New Netherlands/the Middle States, the Old South, and Transappalachia.  And since then, others have been added, and they, to an extent, usually were outgrowths from these original seeds.  There also exist in America certain peoples and cultures who were absorbed but not originally part of the Anglo-American sphere at all.  This would include the Northern New Spain area which includes parts of the Southwest starting at Texas.

White Americans don't need a fake ethnic identity, all they need to do is rediscover the one that already exists.  Since the smallest unit of cultural organization is the family, in many cases the customs of these seed cultures never fully died out.  But here is the basic problem.  America became something different in its imperial age, and so many of the inhabitants here are descended from uprooted castaways that they really don't fit in.  They aren't really Americans and they never could become Americans.  American identity is very racialized in a way it is not in Russia or Latin America.  You can't become an Anglo-American, you either are or are not.  So I suppose the fiction of a generic "American" culture had to be invented to integrate a much larger group of people, but it never went swimmingly.

To the extent that this generic culture resembles anything of the old Americas I mentioned above, it is probably closest to Quakerdom/New Netherlands/the Middle States, which was always the most cosmopolitan of the four original hearth cultures.  The big problem that currently exists, as I see, is not whether we have a culture, history or state to call our own, but rather what to do with the large mass of people that aren't really Americans but are here now.  To my mind, there's not much that can be done except to segregate for now, and longer term of course to seal the borders and encourage non-Anglo-Americans to go home, or at least stay on reservations rather than encroaching.  Perhaps some of the white settlers since the 20th century could be integrated into Anglo-America, because through intermarriage, they basically already have been, but the extra-Europeans, I don't see much chance of that and I see no reason to let the current chaos keep on going.

Also, that second quote above came from some Jew, and I frankly find it funny that someone from a race of wandering castaways that never was able to stay in one place for long, owing to their chronic bad behavior, and has a fake history of cobbled together Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Hellenistic mythology, wants to tell the descendants of Anglo-America that we are a bunch of rootless cosmopolitans.  Now that's rich.  And I remind you they are guests here in our country to this day, and that guest status can be revoked at any time.
