Psychological Mechanisms of White Dispossession

• The moral and intellectual high ground in the
  contemporary West is controlled by elites hostile
  to the traditional peoples and cultures of the
  West and able to punish dissenters by loss of job
  or even penalties at law.
• Within this context, the immediate short-term
  self-interest of most Whites is to go along with
  the current regime.
• public displays of White guilt and positive
  attitudes to immigration, multiculturalism and
  diversity serve as markers of allegiance to the
  current power structure
• necessary for career advancement and opposition
  will lead to ostracism, job loss, etc.
• The dispossession of Whites is massively
  incentivized.

2
Social Learning consequences of domination by
hostile elites

• Social learning. Models are far more effective if
  they have prestige and high status.
• Fits well with an evolutionary perspective in
  which seeking high social status is a universal
  feature of the human mind.
• Propaganda much more effective if promoted by
  elites that are seen as legitimate
• Elite academic and media institutions seen as
  legitimate by the great majority
• Harvard prof in the New York Times a sign of
  intelligence and education
• Immigration is a consensus value among elites
  opposing it is a sign lack of education and a
  moral defect.

The Culture of Critique Jewish intellectual
movements had access to the most prestigious
academic institutions.

• The New York Intellectuals Ties with elite
  universities, particularly Harvard, Columbia, the
  University of Chicago, University of
  CaliforniaBerkeley
• Boasian Anthropology and psychoanalysis
  Throughout academia
• Anti-biologism in the social sciences Harvard
  (Gould, Lewontin) and throughout academia
• Frankfurt School Columbia, University of
  California-Berkeley now spread throughout
  academia
• Neoconservatives University of Chicago, Johns
  Hopkins, Cornell
• Success not based on truth or factual support but
  on networking and elite dominance

4
The Consequences of Institutional Dominance

• Once the new value set was institutionalized, it
  became the focus of status competition within the
  boundaries set by these movements
• Once an organization becomes dominated by a
  particular intellectual perspective, there is
  enormous inertia created by the fact that the
  informal networks dominating elite universities
  serve as gatekeepers for the next generation of
  scholars hiring, tenure
• Aspiring academics are subjected to a high level
  of indoctrination at the undergraduate and
  graduate levels.

5
The Consequences of Institutional Dominance

• Tremendous psychological pressure to adopt the
  fundamental intellectual assumptions that lie at
  the center of the power hierarchy of the
  discipline e.g., the White race is a social
  construct
• Once such a movement attains intellectual
  predominance, people are attracted because of the
  prestige associated with themsocial learning
  mechanisms
• Conservatives who are turned off by these ideas
  simply self-select to go into a different line of
  work.
• Ethan Fosse and Neil Gross, Why Are Professors
  Liberal? (Working paper. University of British
  Columbia), 2009.
• Dissenters shunned, ostracized, denied tenure,
  grants, promotions.

Individualism and Evolution

• Fritz Lenz (1930)
• Nordic evolution in harsh environment of the Ice
  Ages
• Less between-group competition Ecology did not
  support tribes and clan-type social organization.
• Natural selection for intelligence and
  inventiveness to deal with difficult climate
• Tendency toward social isolation
• Individualism is part of Western uniqueness

Individualism and Evolution Individual Choice
based on personal attraction

• Natural selection for pair bonding (love) and
  high-investment in children
• Monogamy Polygyny not supportable for
  evolutionarily significant period as
  hunter-gatherers
• Collectivist societies Arranged marriage to
  kinsman

10
Individualism and Evolution Individual Choice
based on personal attraction rather than cousin
marriage

• Exogamous marriage based on individual choice,
  personal attraction rather than kinship and
  family strategy many societies practice cousin
  marriage
• Love as basis of personal attraction (people too
  high on this trait especially women tend to be
  pathologically altruistic)
• Sexual selection for blond hair, blue eyesthe
  peacocks tail
• Far more hair-color and eye color diversity in
  Europe and particularly Northwest Europe

11
Individualism and Evolution

• Less ethnocentric Europeans less selected for
  between group competition more for dealing with
  ecological adversity
• Less involvement in extended kinship networks
• Nuclear family Mom, dad, and the kids rather
  than extended family of collateral kin.
• Collectivist societies Extended family, compound
  household
• Bilateral kinship Higher status for women

European Population Genetics

• Western Hunter-Gatherers gt8000 years ago
  northern h-g evolved white skin, pale eyes, light
  hair.
• Middle Eastern Farmers 7000 years ago white
  skin most influential in the south where white
  skin spread among previously dark-skinned h-gs
  
• Yamnaya/Indo-Europeans from Pontic Steppe 4500
  years ago around 20 in all Europeans

Individualism and Evolution

• Hunter-gatherer groups are relatively
  egalitarian leadership by consensus rather than
  authoritarian despots removed
• Egalitarian Individualism No one can rise about
  the others.
• Common in hunter-gatherer groups Christopher
  Boehm
• Scandinavia as the paradigm
• The 10 commitments of Jante Law
• 1. Don't think you are anything 2. Don't think
  you are as good as us. 3. Don't think you are
  smarter than us. 4. Don't fancy yourself better
  than us. 5. Don't think you know more than us.
  6. Don't think you are greater than us. 7. Don't
  think you are good for anything. 8. Don't laugh
  at us. 9. Don't think that anyone cares about
  you. 10. Don't think you can teach us anything.

15
Individualism and Psychology

• Personal goals (not group goals) are paramount
• Socialization emphasizes the importance of self
  reliance, independence, individual
  responsibility, and ?nding yourself.
• Individualists have more positive attitudes
  toward strangers less ethnocentric
• More likely to behave in a prosocial, altruistic
  manner to strangers (e.g., White medical
  missionaries to Africa adopting Haitian babies)
• Empathy and pathological altruism not based on
  kinship prone to universalist empathy.

16
Empathy/love as a (heritable) personality system

• -4sociopathic (Bill Clinton, Tony Blair)
  -2cold, aloof, little desire for affection

• 1-2warm, affection-seeking cohesive family
  relationships nurturing, children
  compartmentalized focused on own family and
  close friends
• 2-3affection-craving, empathy and altruism
  less discriminating, more universal more
  gullible and seeing the best in others more
  prone to guilt
• 3-4 pathologically empathic, altruistic
  dependency disorder

17
Individualism and Psychology Creating Cohesive
Groups of Individualists

• 19th-century racial scientists Idealism as
  ethnic trait of Nordics.
• Universalist moral ideals are erected and then
  steps are taken to achieve the moral vision by
  changing the world, often accompanied by a great
  deal of moral fervor.
• Yankee-Puritan utopian communities in
  19th-century America
• Morality is defined not as what is good for the
  individual or the group, but as an abstract moral
  ideal e.g., Kants moral imperative Act only
  according to that maxim whereby you can, at the
  same time, will that it should become a universal
  law.

18
Individualism and Psychology Creating Cohesive
Groups of Individualists

• Moral idealism as consensus building and control
  in an individualistic society where kinship
  relations are weak or non-existent.
• Individualism implies an equality of
  interestthat everyone has interests but no one
  has a privileged moral positionphilosopher John
  Rawls veil of ignorance.
• Creates morally defined ingroup, not defined by
  by ethnicity or kinship.
• Shame, Guilt as motivators Internal control
• All intellectual movements in The Culture of
  Critique involved moral critique.

19
Individualism and Psychology Creating Cohesive
Groups of Individualists

• Arguments on morality therefore must necessarily
  seek an abstract sense of morality, independent
  of the interests of any particular individual.
• Groups have no privileged moral standing at all.
• Collectivist societies based on kinship distance
  for political factions. Arab proverb I against
  my brother my brother and I against my cousin
  all of us against the foreigner.
• Is it good for the Jews?

20
Individualism and Psychology Creating Cohesive
Groups of Individualists

• Reputation is critical in the absence of kinship
  as the measure of all things Personal honesty
  and integrity upholding moral norms guilt for
  transgressing
• Collectivist societies Familial obligations lead
  to corruption.
• Individualistic societies have high levels of
  public trust, low levels of corruption.
• Strong emphasis on conformity to group norms
• Stifling conformity of Puritan groups
• to ignore group norms is to ruin public
  reputation

21
Extreme individualism is characteristic of Whites
when internal controls based on guilt and shaming
are rejected

• Libertarian anarchism 19th-century offshoot of
  Puritan New England
• Benjamin Tucker unfettered individualism and
  opposition to prohibitions on non-invasive
  behavior (free love, etc.)
• The New Bohemians in Greenwich Village (ca.
  19101917)
• Max Eastman (18831969)
• Cultural liberation defined as freedom from
  constraintsan early version of 1960s hippies
  self discovery, emotion over logic, intuition,
  rebellion, free love, Black jazz, and leftist
  politics.
• Eric Kaufmann, The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America
• Libertarianism Ron Paul oppose drug laws,
  race-based affirmative action, social safety net,
  foreign aid tend to favor open borders and civil
  liberties
• Ayn Rands Objectivism Atlas Shrugged, The
  Fountainhead

22
Individualism and Psychology Creating Cohesive
Groups of Individualists

• Implicit Whiteness Whites form groups but
  publically Whiteness has nothing to do with it
  Tea Party, NASCAR, White suburbs
• Explicit Whiteness We are White and have
  interests as Whites
• Cortical Control of subcortical feelings can
  inhibit prejudiced responses
• MediaExplicit messages self-control of
  pro-white attitudes
• Leads to guilt

23
Controlling pro-White attitudes

• Media messages Pro-White attitudes are evil
  creation of a moral community
• Cortex
• 
  
• Limbic System Pro-White attitudes, attraction to
  genetically similar others (Rushton), xenophobia
  
• MacDonald, K. (2008). Effortful Control, Explicit
  Processing and the Regulation of Human Evolved
  Predispositions. Psychological Review, 115(4), 101

24
The fight over control of the cortex

• The Culture of Critique human evolution is now
  being fought out in the realm of ideas.
• The intellectual movements of the
  leftparticularly the moral imperative of
  immigration and multiculturalism, the decline of
  evolutionary thinking in the social sciences, and
  the general loss of cultural confidence by the
  Westhave been major components of the huge
  unfolding evolutionary disaster for Europeans.

25
Historical examples Puritans

• Puritans Based in East Anglia, originally from
  Denmark
• Relatively small social class differences no
  slave class
• The tendency to pursue utopian causes framed as
  moral issues
• Utopian appeals to a higher law and the belief
  that governments principal purpose is moral.
• Yankee-Puritan utopian communities in
  19th-century America
• Willing to incur great costs to impose moral
  perfection Altruistic punishment
• Morally defined ingroup Led the movement in the
  U.S. to abolish slavery on moral grounds
• Strong controls within the group to enforce
  morality17th-century version of political
  correctness
• Low levels of criminal violence, highest level of
  public executions

New Zealand vs. U.S. Fairness and Freedom

• David Hackett Fischers book on comparing the
  treatment of the U.S. by the British Empire of
  the 18th century (which led to the American
  Revolution) with the treatment of New Zealand in
  the 19th century.
• The most important characteristic of the British
  Empire at the time of New Zealand colonization
  beginning in 1840 was a greater emphasis on
  social justice (fairness). USA--Liberty
• Colonial administrators like Captain William
  Hobson (a leader of high probity who
  recruited able and honorable men to serve in the
  colony p. 84) were concerned about justice and
  fairnessself-consciously trying to uphold a
  universalist morality.

28
New Zealand vs. U.S. Fairness and Freedom

• Already in the 19th century we see a strong sense
  of high-mindedness (p. 87) and crusading moral
  universalism. Bishop George Augustus Selwyn, who
  became Anglican Bishop of New Zealand in 1841,
  was a high-principled idealist with a broad
  ecumenical version of Christianity which in New
  Zealand became linked to an idea of racial
  equality between Pakeha i.e., Whites and
  Maoris Selwyn was a fierce defender of Maori
  rights p. 87).

Andrew Joyce on the Morant Bay (Jamaica)
Rebellion of 1861 TOQ, Summer, 2013

• To the clear-thinking individual, it was a
  plainly criminal, and unimaginably brutal series
  of actions, carried out for malicious reasons
  against a population targeted for being White.
  And yet, there was a liberal faction in England
  convinced not only that it was the Black
  population that were the true victims, but also
  that their fellow Whites were reprehensible
  monsters who deserved the fate which befell them.
  This pathological response, laden with a
  misplaced hyper-emotionality, would shake the
  Empire to its core, sapping its confidence, and
  bequeathing a legacy which is still felt to this
  day.

30
Andrew Joyce The Morant Bay of 1865 TOQ,
Summer, 2013

• The main warriors on behalf of the Blacks were
  Christian philanthropists who believed that these
  races could be raised to standards of education
  and conduct which would place them alongside
  Europeans.
• Members of this group tended to be
  non-Conformist, middle-class, and liberal or
  radical in their politics.
• Crucially, most had never travelled outside
  Britain, and had little or no experience with the
  races they so emphatically and persistently
  eulogized.

31
The Movement to End Slavery in England (TOQ,
Summer, 2013

• Late 18th century, Quakers, Methodists, Puritans,
  and increasingly as time went on, the Church of
  England. All of these groups opposed slavery.
• Quakers central because they were the leaders at
  the very center of the movement to abolish
  slavery in England.
• Quaker networks and Quaker money were of
  critical importance in the early campaigns of
  17871788 they were the foremost champions of
  liberty for enslaved Africans. Quakers did the
  vast majority of the practical, day-to-day work
  of the Society and were a major source of
  funding.

32
Quaker ideology

• Quaker religious ideology is the apotheosis of
  moral universalisman ideology in which moral
  principles trump self-interest.
• A basic Quaker belief was that the Inner Light
  of Gods revelation shone equally on human beings
  of any race or class.
• Anthony Benezet human equality was an
  ontological fact rather than a philosophical
  doctrine or maxim in addition to his African
  slaves, he extended his interest to the welfare
  of Native Americans and the poor in Philadelphia.
  
• A statement by a Quaker subcommittee submitted to
  Parliament was titled The Case of Our
  Fellow-Creatures, the Oppressed Africans.

33
Quakers

• Highly egalitarian they were democratic and
  nonhierarchical there were no bishops or
  ordained ministers, and any person (including
  women) could speak. As with hunter-gatherer
  groups (see below), policy was passed by
  consensus of the entire meeting.
• Quakers were economically successful, a merchant
  class capable of devoting substantial resources
  to the cause of anti-slavery activism.
• Like the original Puritans, the Quakers formed a
  group apart, where group membership was based on
  moral/ideological conformity. They were a holy
  nation who, also like the Puritans, desired that
  England become a Holy Commonwealththe nation as
  moral ingroup, not kinship or race.
• Dissenters shunned and ostracized Sound
  familiar?!

34
Quakers

• There was a watchful regard for morals of the
  society, and a strict determination to bring all
  misdemeanors to account. Friends were regularly
  appointed to examine into and to report on the
  state of the society. Did a member neglect to
  attend on the means of grace, or was he guilty of
  disorderly walking, he was exhorted in a
  brotherly way.
• Like the Puritans, an early version of political
  correctness
•  The hunter-gatherer ethic implies that ones
  moral character becomes the most important aspect
  of ingroup status. Individuals maintain their
  position in society by subscribing to its moral
  norms. Fundamentally, the movement to end slavery
  operated by defining abolitionism as a moral
  ingroup psychologically analogous to the
  situation in a hunter-gatherer ingroup. Those who
  continued to advocate the slave trade and slavery
  were shunned as moral pariahs.

35
Quakers

• The logic connecting these tendencies to the
  individualist hunter-gather model is that like
  all humans in a dangerous and difficult world,
  hunter-gatherers need to develop cohesive,
  cooperative ingroups.
• But rather than base them on known kinship
  relations, the prototypical egalitarian-individual
  ist groups of Northwest Europe are based on moral
  reputation and trust.
• Like the Puritans (East Anglia), the Quakers stem
  from a distinctive, ethnically based British
  subculture originating in Scandinavia. The
  predominant region for Quakers in England was the
  North Midlands colonized by Viking invaders who
  prized individual ownership of houses and fields
  they spoke Norse into the twelfth century.

36
Quakers, et al.

• John Woolman, the Quintessential Quaker, was an
  eighteenth-century figure who opposed slavery,
  lived humbly, and, amazingly from an evolutionary
  perspective, felt guilty about preferring his own
  children to children on the other side of the
  world.
• Quakers created a moral ingroup in which those
  outside the ingroup were seen as immoral, while
  being inside the moral ingroup activated their
  brain circuits for pleasure and self-esteem.
• Similar tendencies can be found among the
  Methodists, some influential Anglicans, and
  especially the descendants of the Puritans whose
  sense of moral idealism was a critical factor in
  the anti-slavery movement in the U.S.

37
Moral ingroups

• Abolitionists framed the African slaves as
  members of a common humanityas members of a
  universal moral ingroup rather than a racial
  outgroup.
• Reverend James Ramsay, the leading intellectual
  light of the Evangelical Anglicans, the point of
  opposition to slavery was to gain to society, to
  reason, to religion, half a million of our kind,
  equally with us adapted for advancing themselves
  in every art and science that can distinguish man
  from man, equally with us capable of looking
  forward to and enjoying futurity.

Conclusion

• Western uniqueness results from two powerful
  currents
• 1.) Hunter-gatherer culture indigenous to
  Europe, especially Northern Europe, and
  persisting through the Ice Ages
• Egalitarian individualism
• Exogamy, personal attraction as basis of
  marriage weak extended kinship relations
• Representative, non-despotic political culture
• Moral conformity and reputation as force for
  ingroup social cohesion rather than kinship
• Policing the morals of the groupnow opposition
  to racism, pro-White sentiments

41
Conclusion

• Western uniqueness results mainly from two
  powerful currents
• 2.) Aristocratic egalitarianism likely stemming
  mainly from Indo-European invaders after 3500 BC
• Offshoot of Neolithic culture enabled by
  increasing productivity of animal husbandry
  culture
• Strongly hierarchical military cultures
• Egalitarian within the elite of peers
  non-despotic political culture
• Powerful relations of dominance and subordination
  between themselves as an elite and the lower
  strata.
• European pre-modern military elites planters in
  U.S. South

42
Individualism and the Decline of the West

• Egalitarian individualism has consistently won
  out over aristocratic individualism in Western
  history at least since the English Civil War
• E.g., American Civil War pitted the egalitarian
  individualists of the North (Puritan-descended)
  versus the aristocratic individualists
  (Cavaliers) of the South
• In America, the Puritan tradition of moral
  universalism dominated culturally until the rise
  of Jewish-dominated intellectual movements of the
  20th century.
• The Puritan liberal tradition altered by a period
  of ethnic defense from 1920-1965 based on
  Darwinian thinking. Madison Grant, Lothrop
  Stoddard
• White ethnic defense collapsed after 1965 with
  rise of Jews as a hostile elite.
• Relatively weak ethnocentrism (WASP elite was
  relatively permeable) and proneness to moral
  universalism made Whites susceptible

43
Moral idealism as the ideology of Western suicide

• The Culture of Critique An Evolutionary Analysis
  of Jewish Involvement in 20th-century
  Intellectual and Political Movements
• Moral indictment of the West Slavery,
  colonialism, anti-Semitism, exclusion of Jews
  from the Protestant elite
• The general dismantling of the culture of the
  West, and eventually its demise as anything
  resembling an ethnic entity, will occur as a
  result of a moral onslaught.

44
Suggestions

• 1. Defending the moral legitimacy of defending
  the traditional peoples and cultures of the West
• 2. Emphasize the costs of multiculturalismconflic
  t, disengagement and lack of community, lack of
  willingness to contribute to public goods
• 3. Creating our own moral ingroups, shunning
  those who disagree

45
Suggestions

• 4. Make White people conscious of their
  hyper-moral, universalist, indiscriminately
  empathic, individualist tendencies. Like other
  natural tendencies, they can be blocked by
  top-down cortical control.
• Cortex Racial/ethnic and cultural survival
• 
  
• Individualism, Universalist Empathy, etc.
