Only a small portion of people on earth get to sit on the top with a good quality of life and human rights, so every non-white enjoying those things means one less spot for a white. Also white people only enjoy most of those things from brutally exploiting and oppressing others and stealing their wealth and labour, so eventually some other group is going to come and oppress and exploit "whites" because that's just how it works. Ultimately a lot of white people are terrified of being treated like they've treated others, currently or historically.

You have a bunch of national and ethnic cultures of people with light skin, but there is no unifying white culture, even giving allowances for some shared heritage from the Greeks, Romans and European Church.

In the US "White" culture was the dominate culture for most of 20th century since Whites constituted somewhere between 80-90% of the population, feel free to read up on that era of history.

I thought it was more like the top 10%/1% get to live the high life. Importing a bunch of poor people would definitely help a lot of people on the bubble get into that group, especially when you think about people who are social capital rich/cash poor (think anyone with some retard "policy" job in DC).

Note how Democrats have really stonewalled attempts at increased skilled immigration. Imagine some twinkish Georgetown grad in Allen Edmonds stepping on a human face, forever.

What I want to know now is what the establishment right is going to do with the alt-right after the election? You can pretend all you want that this will be The End of Conservatism, but it's incredibly dangerous to assume a group that went from internet nobodies to effectively taking over a major political party in just over a year will simply disappear. It's impossible not see the established right try to use the bloc as a bargaining tool, especially if they "keep backing Hillary" after the election.

That's because the critical relationship is actually between non-state actors and (developing) nations. Nation to nation relationships between nominal allies amount to the larger nation guaranteeing certain rights to individuals and businesses in exchange for aid (or "aid") for the smaller nation. It's only different from colonialism because the repression is effectively being perpetrated by people's own state.

Fantagraphics books (publisher of Matt Furie's 'boys club') issued a pretty cool statement condemning the use of Matt Furie's character as a the alt-right's racist Joe Camel.

http://fantagraphics.com/flog/truthaboutpepe/


quote:

The Truth About Pepe the Frog

Fantagraphics Books and Matt Furie, the creator of the eternally chill comic book character Pepe the Frog, condemn the illegal and repulsive appropriations of the character by racist fringe groups linked to the alt right movement and the Donald Trump presidential campaign. Furie’s character has been categorized as a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League as a result of these uses, creating significant emotional and financial harm for the creator.

Most media reports now routinely default to a narrow description of Pepe as a representation of white supremacy, ignoring the mellow, positive-vibed frog that he is in the hands of his creator, Matt Furie, within the pages of Furie’s Boy’s Club comics (as collected by Fantagraphics Books). Yet the myriad copyright violations of recent weeks have resulted in Furie’s name now turning up in Anti-Defamation League database search results.

Having your creation appropriated without consent is never something an artist wants to suffer, but having it done in the service of such repellent hatred — and thereby dragging your name into the conversation, as well — makes it considerably more troubling.

Fantagraphics Books wants to state for the record that the one, true Pepe the frog, as created by the human being and artist Matt Furie, is a peaceful cartoon amphibian who represents love, acceptance, and fun. (And getting stoned.) Both creator and creation reject the nihilism fueling Pepe’s alt-right appropriators, and all of us at Fantagraphics encourage you to help us reclaim Pepe as a symbol of positivity and togetherness, and to stand by Matt Furie.

We encourage reporters and others citing Furie as the character’s creator to also note that he condemns these illegal representations of his character. Matt is available for interviews through Fantagraphics. We encourage fans and others who support Furie to block, report, and denounce the illegal uses of the character by individuals and groups pirating him to foment hatred.

Yeah, they're taking decade-old memes and trying to use them as a racist Joe Camel to recruit the youngsters pretty much. This has been happening for a while actually, but I'm surprised it's gotten this much mainstream buzz.

No,the Alt-Right are still Internet nobodies. Trump is not the Alt-Right. He is merely an extension of the Far Right movements that have swept over Europe. He's the most visible because AMERICA but this stuff was happening years and years before he decided to run.

As for the future of the GOP
http://www.nbcnews.com/specials/donald-trump-republican-party/gop-future

I thought this was an excellent appraisal of the possibilities. If the Republican Party starts now, maybe it can reshape the party into something less horrible. Otherwise, its attempts to cater to rich old white guys will only result in all of those rich old white guys dying off and the vacuum being filled by the Alt-Right.

The mainstream Right hates these fuckers as much as most of us do (in fact I enjoy the National Review articles I've read that savage them) so hopefully they can start to reform the Party soon.

So calling for continued immigration and globalization for the explicit purpose of replacing whites isn't anti white?
Immigration and globalization occurs because it's profitable, not because it's 'anti-white'. There's nothing special about whites, or non-whites, or any stupid partitions of humanity. You will lose your racial identity because your racial identity is an illusion, and all illusions are shattered when they contact reality.

If it's any consolation, the same people fetishizing blackness, or asianess, or whatever, the same thing will occur to them. "All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind. "

What you call "white culture" in that period never existed and was a fantasy of television shows such as Leave it to Beaver. In reality, that period was defined by numerous regional cultures based on race, but also on income, but defined by their shared identity as "American" as well as a vibrant mix of immigrant cultures that kept traditions from their homelands (Irish, Italian, Spanish, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, German etc.) and sometimes saw these traditions adopted into the greater regional cultures of the United States. At the same time you had African-American and Native American people practicing aspects of a shared American culture, while also maintaining incredibly distinctive and vibrant traditions of their own.

If anything was "white culture" at the time it was the use of state power to abuse and destroy minority communities in the name of protecting the myth that is "white culture".

Just admit that your mythic unified "white culture" never existed and that what has been defined as "white culture" is either fantasy, a general American culture that crosscut racial boundaries and was as much regional and financial as racial with many sub-divisions based on immigrant origin and ethnicity and that "white culture" is in-fact as varied as "African culture" and "Asian culture" in that it is a giant patchwork quilt of different cultures crosscutting regional, national and racial boundaries and is based far more on practice and language and that it borrowed from other "non-white cultures" just as much as they borrowed from it. Rock and roll for an example from your mythic time period of "White Purity".

This is also why "White Pride" and things like "Why is there no White Heritage Month?" are racist. They are based on a mythic construct of a shared "white culture" that doesn't exist. There are so many different cultures in the "White World" that lumping them together is purely a racist construct to define them in opposition to the other. Whereas Black History Month and Native History Month, at least in the United States, are based around the shared experiences and histories of distinct cultures that do exist, and aren't just 19th and 20th century constructs. It's also why Irish, German, Swedish, Spanish, etc. heritage celebrations aren't racist, at least in theory, because they are about cultures that exist, and share distinct histories and experiences that may differ from other ethnicities in the United States. It's also important to note that ethnic groups are more defined by shared language, culture, history and sometimes geographic boundaries than they are skin tone.
