The coat of arms of the Fabian Society - a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They hate us, they have always hated us. The other day, my teenage daughter asked me why things in society have gotten so bad. She’d caught me watching an old episode of ‘Coronation Street’ from 1980 on YouTube, and was struck by the very different world it portrayed - a homogeneous working class community with genuine problems (such as not having enough money to pay the gas bill), no identity politics, no one being demonised as a far-right extremist. The only explanation I could offer is the war that’s been waged on the working class for centuries. The peasants that were subjugated by the Normans after the destruction of the Anglo-Saxon world, spoke bitterly of living under ‘the Norman yoke’. We’re still living under that yoke.
A very good article. I think it is important to mention that the British showed a lot more tact and effort with the Tasmanians than many groups will show us if given the chance.
Isn’t almost the entire history of our land about the subjugation of the peasants?
Throwing in misplaced guilt is just another way to stifle any cohesion.
Collectivisation can only occur outside of the current system. If we stay within their lines, we repeatedly get shunted off into the siding to hit the buffers.
On an individual level, I have gained the most out of the system when I tried to derail it. It is often manned by functionaries of inadequate knowledge, incapable or too scared to think outside of the preset parameters handed to them in their job description.
I think that there is something misconstrued in this question of the universal man. I have seen it raised elsewhere than here; this is a better treatment than most, but I think still misses something. What if the "universal man" is not, at base, a moral abstraction but the next ideal but attainable threshold for man; it is universal in the sense that it represents a point for which all humanity must strive (and maybe all eventually reach), but is a goal to be reached, not a state which can be proclaimed over men as they are now. Maybe call it the superman. In our known history it is only European men who have consistently received and cherished this vision, and only they who have approached its reality in power, grace and genius. Like perhaps all divine visions, this was quickly bent by misunderstanding and exploited by the cynical. Instead of pointing to a pinnacle where the super-personal vision of man justifies a new order, it made unfit modern European men, and then humanity in general, the measure of a self-justifying system. I like H.G. Wells, though he seems a kind of tragic figure in being so earnest a proponent of a powerful vision, and the first to really warp it out of shape.
European man were the only people we know of whose moral generosity, during the period of their most obvious preeminence, actively sought to recognise the seed of the "universal" (or divine) man even in far lower types. I think that the earlier universalists would have laughed at the idea that men as they are can be treated similarly. For them even the height of European civilization had not yet reached the watermark where its men could operate by the universal principles which should one day direct their actions, but they saw it as right to "throw the ball forward", and so far as possible invite (not push) all men to this city on the hill. The worst lies are miswrought truths, and this universal ideal must not be jettisoned because it has been used blindly or cynically by later men, Wells included. Thanks for your work.
“I cannot help but note the bitter irony of HG Wells citing the Martians in their technologically advanced tripods as representing European Man; in the end, they represented people like himself.”
Us ‘Martians’ don’t need a heat-ray when we’ve got a Morgoth; the very ghost of HG Wells just felt that burn haha!
I agree that the only thing that's required for us to start thinking of ourselves again, is to remove their calipers from our brain. Stop the incessant propaganda. Turn off the idiot box (or at least avoid anything created within the last decade), avoid social media entirely (if possible), listen to music via streaming services rather than radio. That will do for us individually, though I suspect that wasn't the real target of HunkyHaggis' question.
How to translate this into a cultural movement, where we as White Europeans finally start thinking of ourselves again, if not exclusively then at least primarily? Ah! Now that is easier said, than done. The problem I think is that for people of our intellectual / emotional profile, we tend to favor our group over the outgroup already. We also might more effectively see through some of the more obvious propaganda, and once you've seen through it you can definitely not go back to the 'old way' of thinking. Those who are still committed to globohomo, or (even more bizarrely) have not noticed its encroachment, will only change their tune once they become true minorities in their lands and start to see how these idolized outgroups treat them when the shoe is on the other foot. Tragically, this will only be once it has become too late to change anything.
Many Sci-fi writers have universalist themes in their novels...but of the great writers like Heinlein, Jack Vance and Philip K. Dick mocked them...Wells had some pretty acute visions of the future, but was a 2d rate writer in the genre...

First! Haha. This is one to show to the grandkids.

You're a good man, Morgoth.
Who knew? HG Wells was a Martian amongst us!
