How Arabs view the West — Gad Saad

Thirty years ago a Chinese Buddhist nun who is a close friend was appalled at the laxity of American immigration policy. Thirty years ago she said, ‘You are just giving everything to them. You are giving your country away!’ She could not comprehend it or respect it. To her it was immoral to give so unwisely while also failing to protect your own people. Buddhism emphasizes wisdom in all things. ABN

Tribalism begets tribalism

This is entirely normal human behavior, predicted by me and many others to be the inevitable response to treasonous massive immigration, illegal or not, fostered and promoted by treasonous government officials. In a world dominated by tribes, individuals are safer when they are members of a tribe. The West has generally attempted to become a non-tribal or post-tribal civilization based on individual rights and fairly administered laws. This attempt has failed not from the bottom up but from the top down. Government officials have grossly abused their powers and overstepped the bounds of human tribal tolerance. The more of this happens and the sooner it happens, the better — because the longer you wait the worse the problem will become. There is no stamping out tribalism without stamping out the British people. These statements apply to the entire West, given small differences due to regional conditions. It is not only not wrong to re-tribe, it is stupid not to. Westerners right now are paying for their own annihilation. ABN

Thousands of bones and hundreds of weapons reveal grisly insights into a 3,250-year-old battle

A new analysis of dozens of arrowheads is helping researchers piece together a clearer portrait of the warriors who clashed on Europe’s oldest known battlefield 3,250 years ago.

The bronze and flint arrowheads were recovered from the Tollense Valley in northeast Germany. Researchers first uncovered the site in 1996 when an amateur archaeologist spotted a bone sticking out of a bank of the Tollense River.

Since then, excavations have unearthed 300 metal finds and 12,500 bones belonging to about 150 individuals who fell in battle at the site in 1250 BC. Recovered weaponry has included swords, wooden clubs and the array of arrowheads — including some found still embedded in the bones of the fallen.

No direct evidence of an earlier battle of this scale has ever been discovered, which is why Tollense Valley is considered the site of Europe’s oldest battle, according to researchers who have studied the area since 2007.

Studies of the bones have yielded some insights into the men — all young, strong and able-bodied warriors, some with healed wounds from previous skirmishes. But details on who was involved in the violent conflict, and why they fought in such a bloody battle, has long eluded researchers.

Poll-topping Austrian party vows to enshrine two genders in constitution

Austria’s poll-topping Freedom Party (FPÖ) plans to enshrine in law that there are only two genders in the country’s constitution.

The move comes as part of a crackdown on “woke madness” that includes banning transgender athletes from women’s sport.

The far-Right FPÖ is predicted to triumph in a general election on Sept 29, completing a remarkable comeback since it was ousted from coalition government in 2019 amid a corruption scandal.

It has pledged to make a provision in Austria’s constitution that there are only two genders and end rules allowing people to choose anything other than those when they sign the civil register, which is necessary when moving into a new address to get access to benefits, health insurance and other social rights.

The party manifesto also promises a ban on civil servants from using gender-inclusive language and an end to public funding for so-called woke ideology.

It says: “Anyone who thinks they can arbitrarily determine the number of genders or change gender at will is disregarding the nature of human beings.

“The number of people who do not want to identify as either a man or a woman is negligible. That is why we are opposed to permanent transgender brainwashing, which is ultimately only aimed at destroying our social foundations.”

Clan vs individual

Centuries ago the Catholic Church destroyed clans across Europe and much good came from that. It freed people from tribal bonds and taught them to cooperate with strangers. The bad that came from that is today the West is overrun with clans and has no idea how to protect itself or even that it should protect itself. Westerners must understand the foes they are facing and deal with them appropriately. It is never a good idea to remain mired in an old morality that no longer applies. ABN

Is Castizo Futurism Compatible with White Tribalism?

The meme Castizo Futurism is used to describe the blending of Whites and Latinos to form a new ethnogenesis, as well as a rightward political shift among Latinos. A liberal publication describes Castizo Futurism as multiracial White Nationalism, as a lot of young White nationalist men aren’t actually White, with prominent dissident right figure, Nick Fuentes, having Latino ancestry. While many on the Right embrace Castizo Futurism, it is also used derisively by Alt-Right types. The embrace of Castizo Futurism signifies some degree of White demoralization.

Whiteshift author, Eric Kaufman, predicts that many minorities, especially Latinos will be absorbed into Whiteness just like Italians, Jews, and Irish were, though not Black people. Kaufman being half Jewish, a quarter Asian and a quarter Latino though White presenting, is a product of this. Thus Kaufman seems fine with this Whiteshift coinciding with civic nationalism based on preserving Western values. He just opposes any overt forms of White identity politics.

In contrast with Kaufman’s Whiteshift, Michael Lind advocates for the formation of a new blended American race and culture. Lind argues that this new American ethnogenesis is needed to save America from balkanization but also must be post-White. I reject the American Melting Pot and favor ethnopluralism or rightwing multiculturalism, where Whites retain a distinct identity within the framework of multiculturalism. However, there also needs to be room for mixed-race people and people in interracial marriages to form their own identities.

Using miscegenation to bleach minorities into Whiteness is quasi-imperialist but has been how America has prevented balkanization. This also fits in with Latin America’s racial caste system and the concept of Mejorar la Raza, or “improving the race”. Basically, Indigenous and mixed-race people can move up in caste via intermarriage with more Caucasian people. America’s future could very well be like Latin America’s caste system where upwardly mobile non-Whites assimilate into Whiteness by marrying White while downwardly mobile Whites marry out and cease to be White.

Interesting read. I have no position on this except wanting to preserve Western civilization. At the end, the author alludes to gene-editing but says nothing more. I am certain advanced IVF, gene-editing, and eventually some form of digital babies gestated in off-body wombs will completely change our views on race, lineage and ethnicity while also massively raising human IQ and health by promoting good genes and removing bad ones. What we are genetically today will live on only through our best genes and the whims of parents, if there still is such a thing, who will select their digital babies from catalogues. I see this as an optimistic thought. Conscious evolution bringing out the best in us. ABN
