Think the problem is too many people (white and non-white) are falling for the leftist racist paradigm in which foreigners, some of whom are not suited to open western societies, are admitted out of pity or guilt. Pity for a group is also racism. When instead prospective immigrants should be vetted carefully, on the individual merits, and to the extent there are not enough resources to do so, then we should just have less immigration until that changes.
The solution then isn’t to perpetuate collectivism and just change the group designation from “in need” to “dangerous.” The solution IMO is to dismantle the group identification altogether and stop importing people who can’t demonstrate they belong on the merits.
Agree it’s a psyop to convince people that ANY culture, no matter how backward, is as desirable as ours on American soil, but getting people to view each other through the prism of categories like race, religion, country of origin is also a divide and conquer psyop. The biggest nightmare for government is for people of uncommon ancestry to make common cause. Because if that happened, they’d have no choice but to respond to the people rather than their oligarch clients. They bring in foreigners who have no business being here precisely to destabilize and divide IMO. They want you to ID as white, to see others as your adversaries.
So while it’s tempting to say, “no more of these people from country X” it doesn’t get to the root cause of the problem which is collectivism. The more you try to push out people of Country X, the more sympathy will build for them. Eventually you’ll have “free country x” protests in the streets, on college campuses, worldwide. The more you fight on their turf (identity politics) the more it will be used against you, and you opened the door to it.
Only good solution is to tell people who want to frame you with “white guilt” or “white privilege” to fuck off, not because you are proud or not proud of your race, but because your race is irrelevant to your individual moral standing.
On a high level Chris I agree with you completely. As we strive towards enlightenment and freedom your values are the ones I would align with.
Here's why I still have a problem with it though. I don't believe we will ever get a significant amount of people to practice your ideology, and if we practice it alone we are doomed.
Humans are herd animals, we are by nature tribal and collectivist creatures, and our different tribes and social structures have been tools of survival for thousands of years. There is no moving past that for most people, and only in our culture is it even a strong stated desire.
We have to face the world as it is, which is tribal and group oriented. I want my family and my extended tribe to have a homeland, have a successful country, and to prosper. I want my nation to be predominantly white and Christian as it once was. I am not evil for wanting that and I don't have to deny that there are groups and cultures which I would prefer to be part of, and groups are made up of individuals.
I agree -- people largely respond to incentives, not truth or reason.
But before we get to the point of what to *do* in that case, we can, on nostr, in a non-emotional way just get to the heart of what’s actually *true*.
Once we acknowledge that humans are individuals who should be judged accordingly, that we don’t consent to white guilt or any collective guilt based on race or ancestry for anyone, then we can separately decide what to do about the problem that hordes of people in our own country (not foreigners) believe in identity politics first and foremost.
I think even if adopting their frame (identity-based race collectivism) were short-term expedient, it would still be perpetuating the root cause of the problem.
I'm a white American man who wants my country to be economically strong, have European and Christian values, and preserve the traditions of my ancestors.
That is itself a form of idenitiy politics - all politics are rooted in identity. I will fight for my identity and these feelings are becoming common among my generation. The time for handwaving about treating people as individuals was gone about 25 million immigrants ago.
“I’m a non-binary person of color, and I want the white man to pay for the injustices done against me. I will fight for reparations and take back the property he stole from my ancestors who he brought to this land against their will. The time for handwaving about treating people as individuals was gone about 300 years ago.”
Good luck!
That's the war we are in Chris. They already think like that and would kill us given the opportunity. Remember Charlie Kirk?
Non-binary people tend to not reproduce btw so that's not my primary concern.
There is no such thing as "generations of non-binary people". 😂
Our European + White Christian American culture needs to win again in America.
IMO real American values are ANTI-identity politics. Not stooping to the level of the leftist garbage that’s taken over mainstream culture of late. If we’re going to win, we have to reject it IMO. The reactionaries will only push us further down the road to hell.
We are pretty close to hell. Let's let the people who built this country have a turn running it again. My two sats.

Yeah, how'd we get to the point of browns posting on social media about how "whites have no culture."
I saw the shift in the last 80's as MTV shifted to all-rap. The MYV programmers were accused of racism even though the blacks had BET which did have some music programming. It only took a few years to see whites acting black, ebonics accent and all.
Not to disparage any other cultures.
But it is time to discuss the restoration of white identity, by whites. When you develop friends in other cultures you learn really quick that they view EVERYTHING through the lens of race and skin color. It's natural, they're being honest.
Whites are insanely self-delusional.
