"Why I'm no longer a White Nationalist." Neoreactionary blogger goes to live in Red America just like he always dreamed. What followed will shock you! - awful.systems

“Walt Bismarck,” a neoreactionary/alt-right blogger, decided to live by his beliefs and move from the liberal hellhole of Arizona to the midwest: > In 2018 I moved from a racially diverse swing state in the Sun Belt to a homogenous red state up in corn country. This decision was largely motivated by politics—I was looking to retreat to an imagined hyperborea free of crime and degeneracy where my volk had political autonomy. The particular delight here is the section “Reason #3 - White people are no longer my most important ingroup”. It turns out they don’t like him, they don’t like his ideas, and the white womenfolk don’t take to him. The frauleins prefer “stoic chudbots with rough hands and smooth brains” over his noble mind and physique. > In practice a society that encourages late marriage is actually much better for more bookish eccentric guys, who tend to be late bloomers in developing their masculinity and ability to seduce women. (meaning: he came on weird at one of the nice church girls he was ogling to the point where one of her large guy friends suggested he take his leave.) Our guy comes so close to introspection, but successfully evades it and reaches the root cause - these are the wrong kind of white people: > But these Midwesterners aren’t descended from entrepreneurial adventurers like the rest of us. Their forebears were conflict averse and probably low testosterone German Catholics who fled Bismarck’s kulturkampf to acquire cheap land under the Homestead Act. These people mostly settled areas where aggro Scotch Irish types had driven off the Injun decades ago, so they never had to embrace the risk-tolerant, enterprising, itinerant mindset that had once fueled Manifest Destiny. Instead they produced families that became weirdly attached to their generic little plot of fungible prairie dirt, and as a result we now have huge pockets of the country full of overcivilized and effete Teutons with no conquering spirit who treat outsiders like shit. There is no shortage of genuine and active neo-Nazis out Iowa way. But they would have met Wordy NRx Boy here and flushed his head. In the comments section, other racists call him out on his insufficient devotion to the cause of white nationalism. Even our good friends at The Motte [https://www.themotte.org/post/900/culture-war-roundup-for-the-week/194971?context=8#context] took the piss out of him.

Cheezus! That’s like a lot of discussion and commentary about a random fascist chud, over at the Motte, innit?
Yeah dude i was looking for schadenfruede but all i got was a masturbatory tirade about how this guy isn’t calling himself a white nationalist anymore because republicans are basically racist enough for him now and don’t have the skinheaded baggage of his former friends. I honestly hope he dies on the toilet.
and - a key point - his prospective tradwaifus don’t want him
But only because he’s not a smooth brained chud and has totally slept with over a 100 women ::eye roll::
@dgerard @anarchrist It turns out "Congratulations, lesser creature! I have chosen you to be one of my vessels to propagate the Master Race!" wasn't the hot pickup line he expected it to be.
I do hope everybody here is aware of the deeper TheMotte lore, and what kind of place it is.

No clue whatsoever, but I got the impression from the way they were talking about this guy, that they are basically sophisticated fascists and reactionaries.

it’s an offshoot from the r/slatestarcodex subreddit and scott alexander has directly recommended it to slatestarcodex readers

it’s wordy Nazis debating things

That context means almost nothing to me. I’m not familiar with those actors either. But I can understand “wordy nazis” at least 😅
Scott Alexander Siskind, his blog SlateStarCodex and now AstralCodexTen are a pack of lesswrong rationalists and deeply on-topic for sneerclub, sadly, so you probably willl in future
Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time to fill me in

and feel there are a number of nonracial issues that have since become much more important than the things WNs fixate on

like staying out of jail? and making profit off loons? at least, I’m guessing those are the priorities

This reminds me of a report from the Nazi ambassador to Iceland sometime in the late 1930s. He was posted there, expecting to find a model Aryan utopia, as could only be inevitable from a population of pure Nordic blood, but was bitterly disappointed to find a provincial backwater whose people were happy to stay put and get on with their lives. The schadenfreude was palpable.
I just read an account of the Nazi occupation of Norway in WW2 and it was a bit like that. The local Nazis (the OG Quisling!) were widely hated, there was passive resistance at every turn, and very few Norwegians were interested in some sort of “racial bond” with Germany.
online or deadtree? either way I’d be interested in reading that
Under stöveln Norge 1940-1945

More recently there was a family from Canada who moved to Russia because Canada was too “woke” only to find that Russia wasn’t the woke free paradise they expected.

According to Wonkette, they’re now in danger of deportation because they don’t know any Russian, and don’t seem interested in learning it

I’d watch this livestream
Dude sold his farm and moved his entire family (wife+8 fucking kids!) on a fucking whim. I feel bad for the kids and hope none of them grow up to be as stupid as their dad.
An undertone in Dutch weird right wing twitter is a desire to move to Russia/(sometimes Viktor Orbáns Hungary) because at least there they still have freedoms and rights.
I bet they started blaming Russia’s communist past for all its current “wokeness”

This was worse than I imagined from the quotes. I feel like I need to take a shower, now.

[…] which would severely limit the Federal Reserve’s ability to control the economy while exporting inflation abroad, and likely bring our material standard of living down to a German or Dutch level

According to this Quality of Life index which I just searched up and have not critically assessed, but I doubt the guy did that either for his claims, so I guess it’s fine, the Netherlands rank second and Germany ranks 12th, while the US is on the 15th place. In other words: what is he even talking about?

Every day in this country more and more Hispanics marry corn-fed blonde midwesterners and produce pale Castizo children who only speak English, consider themselves basically White, and vote like Irish and Italians.

Jesus fucking Christ, I can’t even come up with a funny sneer here because this reads like he just pulled it out of the 1940s Nazi Party’s bag of race laws for who’s allowed to marry whom, and it’s making me feel icky.

I also subscribe to the old fascist idea that adversity gives life meaning. A comfortable and easy life without struggle or conflict is miserable, and just makes you a slave to the hedonic treadmill. When you live for pleasure, no pleasure is ever enough, and continued success will just leave you so pampered that any task that’s challenging or outside your comfort zone will begin to feel onerous.

Ignoring the low-hanging fruit that this guy just flat-out said “well, fascism wasn’t all bad”, what kind of toxic consumer mentality is ingrained in these chucklefucks that they are seemingly unable so sit their sorry asses down on the couch and just say, yeah, I’m happy right now, to the point where they just postulate that other people must feel the same way, because they just can’t imagine anyone being different?

Like, seriously, get a hobby or something.

Dude, showering is exactly what I feel like now. I clicked the post to be nice and read, but only got a couple paragraphs before I just skimmed and picked out the “JFC” bits.

Then the first comment on the blog mentions how sad it is that you lose your “genetic whiteness” in 9 generations and just…goddamn…why is this an issue? Genetic purity is a fucking impossibility due to sheer randomness, let alone the implications of “keeping it white.”

I try to be empathetic where possible, but fuck these people and their entire worldview.

Genetic purity is a fucking impossibility due to sheer randomness, let alone the implications of “keeping it white.”

you assume that he has basic knowledge of biology

I, for one, vote for these “genetic purists” to only procreate with their peers and keep the circle closed from “those dirty Italians/Irish/Scots/Teutons/Slavs”. How many generations until the problem solves itself, 5?
This is a kind of obvious folklore fact as well as actually true, that inbreeding (you seem to be referring to) causes worse intelligence. Because I believe I am right, I would on principle object to getting someone who is less easy to convince of my world view as an option, even if someone else gets to indoctrinate them first. It’s obviously a cynical post but this is just unfair to the nonexistent inbred kids you’re hypothesizing
always love* it when these guys get so race scientist they start on different groups of white people
@dgerard Whiteness is a movable feast. (Ask anyone who's Jewish, or LGBT+, or Italian/Irish in the USA in the 19th century or Hispanic in the USA before/after the 1970s).
remember how Germans used to be swarthy
Do you mean the Teutons?
🤨
and the Swedish, per Benjamin Franklin
Franklin's "Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind . . . "

Mayhaps the Bohemians?
Ayuuuuuuuup. Movable feast is a great term for it. Even once formerly ostracized groups get permitted into the in-group, their membership is strictly conditional on serving the interests of those closer into the center of the Whiteness construct. Stop being useful, watch how fast the old hate rears its ugly head again.
White or not never had anything to do with where you put your dick or tongue. Nobody ever said Irish weren’t white, they just hated Irish. Jewish yeah ok, a lot, not all, a lot weren’t white, but a lot were, it’s why “Greenspan” changed to “Alexander” works without a hitch but maybe Sarah Silverman didn’t change her name because it was bloody obvious. Italian is white, generally, I think you mean Sicilian.
His glowing reference to the “aggro Scots Irish” reminded me that the “Scots Irish” are descended from Ulster Protestants, and that it wasn’t fun being an Irish Catholic in Northern Ireland for much of the 20th century. Ian Paisley famously said that Catholics “breed like rabbits”.

This is fundamentally a part of any kind of race science or racism.

This is also what it means when the empty race is say race is a social construct.

You can't actually define any of these races rigorously in the first place. It's a subjective assessment.

This is fundamentally a part of any kind of race science or racism.

And fascism! Or any discriminatory -ism, up to and including capitalism.

I suspect there are people who have complicated theories about the relative whiteness rankings of natives of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
Yes there are, or were. The OG Nazis treated Dutch POWs slightly better than French ones, for instance.
what a mystery why they treated those of a common language better.
ok fine but have you ever talked to a real Irish from the low counties? The English make fun of them for a reason.

Like, seriously, get a hobby or something.

For real. I don’t even necessarily disagree with the broad-strokes idea of “it’s good to take on challenges and get outside of your comfort zone because it helps you grow as a person,” but why can’t he just apply this energy to writing a terrible novel or learning to paint watercolors or something, like a normal person? Why does the fact his life is comfortable mean he has to become a Nazi? :/

Well look what happened to the last one of these who tried to paint watercolours
He should’ve stuck with it
I will gladly take the bullet and live on the hedonic treadmill. Seriously how spoiled is someone who is living without struggle or conflict. Granted it could be worse but there are always challenges in life.
Just remind yourself that there was a literal global pandemic not that long ago and being mildly inconvenienced by wearing a simple mask caused these people to lose their fucking minds as though every single one of their freedoms was being stripped away.

@BeardedSingleMalt

That was the genius in JoJo Rabbit—showing just how absolutely pathetic and weak fascists are.

hahaha yeah they almost conquered Europe…so pathetic and weak.
Yeah if anything condemns humanity, it's the way these assholes reacted to the simple requirement to wear a mask to keep from infecting others. Their total unwillingness to act in a responsible and mindful way, pretty much says all there is to about he basic evil nature of mankind and how most people aren't worth a pile of dog excrement - none of them will be or could ever be redeemed.
It certainly gave me a clear indication of how well significant measures against climate change will be tolerated. ie, not at all.
Well I live in Utah where the legislature is actively committed to forbidding measures that will mitigate climate change, such as passing laws that allow oil and gas companies to ignore any guidelines about emissions and to promote more pollution as much as possible.
Masks don’t work. N95s do, sure. Everyone was running around with a fucking rag on their face pretending solidarity in delusion would stop the virus and that’s fucking Starship Troopers level silly.
Well that's true enough, most masks won't do a whole lot to stop a virus like COVID. I agree with you there. I'm just more upset that people wouldn't even do that small amount to help out their fellow man (and woman). They'd rather stand on some vague political ground that the government can't tell them what to do or put in their bodies, while cramming hostess bakery products and sugar laden drinks down their throats every chance they get. : / am I Johnny Rico? Cool, dude!

Yeah, the joke is that he just assumes living a comfortable life without struggle equals falling down the consoomer rabbit hole and blowing your dopamine stores on watching porn the whole day or something, and not that you could use it for any number of fulfilling activities.

I’d take the boring, comfy life any time, and when I want something challenging to do, I pick learning to play the violin over going out and starting a race war, thank you very much.

exactly. I never understood folks who had trouble with retirement to. I can garden, or read, or walk, or volunteer, or just an infinite number of things.
this retard needed to move to Iowa to find a struggle apparently, so i’d say pretty spoiled
haha yeah enough of you
