Jared Taylor: The mainstream media is full of stories explaining the Alt-Right. Even a Japanese newspaper interviewed me the other day about the alto righto.

Arisu: Alto Righto? Nani??

Last month I made a video called “Why White Nationalism is Wrong,” in which I argued that reverting multicultural societies to homogeneousness ones is infeasible, that the concept of whiteness is artificial and unstable, and that so-called “white genocide” is a fiction. In response to that video, some people accused me of stating the obvious or expressed astonishment that such a video was even necessary.

Other people said: “First and foremost; You are but a dog, and I am your master”

Aw jeez. I’m getting all hot under the corset. What else we got, here. Hit it, Dick.

[Reading comments]: 

“Hitler was too moderate”

“Kill yourself, untermensch. White Europe is the only possible Europe.”

 “As an assumed gay transsexual, have fun when a pack of moderate Islamist find you alone at night.”

“#gasyourself it will do the rest of us a favor.”

“typical jewish humor”

“I smell a cuck.”

“cuck”

“cuck”

“cuck”

“cuck”

“MAXIMUM CUCKOLDRY”

I got over 9000 of this type of comment. I wonder where they all came from. FUCKING NEWGROUNDS.

Aren’t these the same otaku shitweasels who harass women and ruin their lives for criticizing video games on the internet? Man, you’d have to be a genuinely deranged maniac to actually wanna argue with these people—

[March plays]

Hallo Leute. *cough* Sorry. It’s the costume.

So if you’re a white nationalist who’s thinking of calling me a cuck and a fag and telling me to kill myself, I’m just going to assume that you’ve dropped all pretense of rationality and invite you to engage one of my Nazi-punching comrades, and you all can just sort this out the Homeric way, which is where this all seems to be headed anyway.

But I hope it doesn’t come to that. People tell me I’m good at talking to the far right. There’s a reason they call me the Nazi whisperer.

[ASMR whispering] Komm her, Fritz. Sk sk sk sk. 

Ich würde gerne mit dir über die Judenfrage sprechen.

And the response to my White Nationalism video wasn’t all just “cuck” and “kek.” There were also a lot of people making arguments. Or at least the frail facsimile of arguments. And arguments I can deal with. I can make points against them. Points contrary to them. Points contra to—

Teil 1: Facts and Values

So I get some comments from nationalists presenting evidence that could, at least in theory, be empirically verified or falsified. For instance the Muslims-are-pedophile-raping-terrorists theory. Or the white-genocide theory, also known as “ethnic displacement” by savvier white nationalists who know that “white genocide” sounds like a crackpot notion because it is.

Now in my first draft of this video I went through and agonizingly debunked these claims, arguing that the claims of an ongoing refugee rampage of rape and pillage throughout Germany are unsubstantiated, that Sweden is in fact the rape reporting capital of the world rather than the rape capital as the far right claims, that the decline in white people as a percentage in the total population of a country is not the same as a numerical decline in the white population, that the birthrate among Muslim immigrants is rapidly declining and is likely to decline even more in successive generations, that the aforementioned points make the whole ethnic displacement idea ridiculous, and that in general the factual information evinced in support of nationalism is almost entirely out-of-context statistics deceptively cited by scaremongering goons in an effort to radicalize disillusioned young white men.

But I realized I was wasting my time. For one thing, this debunking has already been done before, and better than I can do it. 

Seriously, go subscribe to Shaun and Jen.

And if I focus on this specific, peripheral stuff, the nationalists will just respond by saying that I have no argument, that I didn’t make an argument, that I have no arguments, that I didn’t make a single argument, that I have no arguments, that I didn’t make an argument, and that I didn’t make a single argument.

Now some of them are probably just trolling me, but I also wonder if they really do think that I ignore the only part of their worldview that they actually care about, namely this idea that white people “deserve” to have their own ethnically homogenous nations. And since this is the most important idea to you guys, why don’t we just get right to it, instead of getting bogged down in mere debates about facts and what is true.

Teil 2: Do White People Deserve Their Own Exclusive Ethnostates?

So how do we argue for or against the idea that white people deserve their own ethnically homogenous nations? Well, it’s not an empirical claim. It can’t be supported or debunked with evidence. But when I look at the kinds of reasons given by nationalists in support of the idea, I find the same type of argument again and again, namely the argument that there’s this unfairness that everyone else gets to have their own nation but us.

[reading comments]:

“You need to explain to whites why we can’t have an ethnostate but Israel can. What’s wrong with wanting the immigration policy of Japan?”

“I’m proud to be Asian said the Asian man. I’m proud to be black said the black man. I’m proud to be white said the racist.”

 “Why do you hate white people? I don’t see your kind EVER saying such things about other races. Interesting. Very interesting.”

So the argument is that there’s this incredible injustice, where Asians and Africans and—I guess not the Native Americans—but everyone else gets to have their own ethnostates except for us, because the ANTI-WHITE Cultural Marxists are orchestrating our extermination through immigration on the one hand, and anti-procreative white degeneracy on the other.

Now how do I respond to this? Well, I’ll begin by saying that the comparison between White Nationalism and “identity politics” causes like BLM is spurious, since BLM does not advocate the establishment of a homogenous black ethnostate that excludes all other races. And I condemn the ethnostate idea wherever it exists at all, including in Israel and Japan. 

Hai! Nein. Hai! Nein. Hai! Das ist falsch. Nani?

Sh. Learn more Japanese vocabulary.

…Hai!

Anyway, the idea that only white nations are multicultural or multi-ethnic is false. Look at the demographics of China or India and you’ll see that both countries are populated by a variety of ethnic groups. In fact if you look at the demographics of Peru, you’ll find the country is so diverse that no single ethnic group comprises a majority of the population.

But here I am arguing with facts again. And white nationalism isn’t about facts. So what is it about? Well, progressives are probably thinking it’s about hate, and it kind of is, but based on the time I’ve spent immersed in online white nationalist discourse I have to say the predominant mood is fear.

And I don’t just mean fear of Muslims or black people or other minorities. I mean a deep, existential fear of change and irrelevance and annihilation. Behind all their memes and jokes, there’s this kind of basic, primordial dread of nothingness and death. And let’s look at a couple more comments to illustrate what I mean.

[reading comments]: 

“’Race is just a social construct,’ Yeah keep saying that as we slowly dwindle away. We will be a forgotten people, for sure. Maybe that asteroid that brushed past Earth should have hit, At least I wouldn’t have to put up with trannies, gays & C.Marxists wiping out my people.”

“Many of us are looking at our countries and thinking: ‘Well if things keep going like this in another 70 years there will be no Germany, there will be no France, no Sweden, no Portugal, no Greece, no Western world. And this feeling changes everything.’”

“If I have to be a Nazi to protect my race, my culture and my country then you bet your ass I’ll take that label with pride, because I have a purpose that’s greater than anything and that is the safety and security of my to-be children and my children’s children.”

“You never mentioned any tribal belief that white people had and basically associated the speaking of English as proof that our culture is not dying. What about the speaking of Old Norse? Or countless other languages that were molded together due to this “one world government, all people are equal” concept.”

So the tone that comes across in these comments is existential panic. And funny though this idea about the one world government bringing down Old Norse is, it conveys what the panicked nationalist hopes for as a solution to change and loss and oblivion: 

Namely that if you could just freeze time at a given point in history, then you could preserve an eternal civilization, a thousand-year Reich.

It’s like a kind of Egyptian mummification urge, the feeling that if we could just embalm our own culture and protect it from the whims of time, then it’ll never die.

But just like mummifying dead bodies for the afterlife, this is a delusion. There’s no way to stop cultures from changing. It’s always happened and it’s always gonna happen, whether it’s because of immigration or the Internet or whatever. Swedish culture is gonna change. English culture is gonna change. German culture is gonna change. But you know what, there’s a big difference between death and metamorphosis. And it takes a lot more than a couple million immigrants to kill a culture.

So, let’s consider African American culture as a story of some of the most glorious cultural perseverance in world history. During the transatlantic slave trade, Africans were ripped by force from their ancestral homeland, shipped to a different continent, placed in literal shackles and sold as property. Drums, which were the musical centerpiece of their communal life, were forbidden by their white owners. Their language was replaced, they were converted to a new religion, and their genetic makeup was altered over generations of rape. They were about as defeated as a culture can be, and yet, you can’t stop a slave in the field from singing. Fast forward to the twentieth century, and despite ongoing subjugation, black Americans ushered in a century-long Golden Age of music and art that has spread across the world.

So don’t tell me that a couple million immigrants mean the death of Europe. It could literally be one thousand times worse, and European culture would still survive in some form or another.

And I know my preceding argument won’t convince people who think that American music is degenerate, but you know what, I encourage you to actually acquaint yourself with the best of blues, jazz, soul, rock, and hip hop. If you look you’ll find emotional depths there that can change you as a person, and maybe it’ll even reawaken whatever part of your humanity that died when you decided that it was okay to build razor wire fences in front of children fleeing for their lives.

Now if you’re going through some kind of identity crisis and you need to seek meaning in the culture of your ancestors and say a few prayers to Odin now and then, then you know what, that’s fine. You’re entitled to do that. But you’re not entitled to demand that an entire culture freeze in its tracks.

And I won’t pretend that multi-ethnic society will be easy, or there won’t be conflict and setbacks. There will be. But if there’s one lesson that America can teach Europe, it’s that these things are surmountable. It might be hard in the short term, especially for countries that are suddenly having to learn to deal with significant ethnic diversity for the first time. But you know what, in the long term it’s gonna be okay. 

And I suppose to European nationalists, I must be the worst case nightmare scenario of what their grandkids could become. I should be a little browner, but basically, I am what the Alt-Right is afraid of.

I live in the most multicultural country in the world, and you know what, my culture is not White culture, it’s American culture, under-appreciated black muse included. So you can’t tell me that White nationalism will protect my culture, because my culture is half black. I am rock n’ roll.
