What’s really going on?
The genesis of this post was that I was planning to eventually write something on the A to B transition, but then a conversation took place at Gab about the alleged reason I have few followers (associated with my supposed “schizoid” obsession with a “non-existent” Nordicism), and then, by an interesting coincidence, this showed up at TOO.
So, this is an opportunity to tie up all of these threads into one post, in which I will uselessly complain again, with all of the practical utility of talking to the wind, or arguing with a brick.
Note that, apart from whatever is in the Footnote, I’m not addressing Nordicism here. I have an entire body of work online for the past quarter century on that topic, including posts here and at my other current blogs, and you can read all of that at your leisure. What I will address is as follows.
Racial nationalists are dissatisfied about where we are now (point A) and instead want to get to a better position – such as the “promised land” of the ethnostate or Imperium – in the future (point B). So, the aim is to get from point A to point B (A to B, hence the title of this post).
When addressing this, Der Movement focuses on the following:
- 1. How bad A is (doom and gloom outrage porn).
- 2. How wonderful B will be (including how “we’re winning” today).
- 3. A combination of 1 and 2.
Now, I do that as well, with the noted exception of the “we’re winning” nonsense (instead I truthfully tell you “we’re losing”), but I also do something else, something that sets me apart from Der Movement. I also do:
- 4. How exactly do we get from point A to Point B – what needs to be done, what all of us (including YOU) should be doing, what are the strategies and tactics we need.
That’s something Der Movement never does – focusing on how precisely to achieve their goals, hard practical advice, and then urging people to do something along those lines to advance us to those goals. No, instead we get outrage porn, or delusional winning hysteria, or ethnostate fantasies, or all of that combined, but with no interest or direction for real world pragmatic work.
Note for all reading this, particularly the System/Left who monitors people like me – when I discuss doing something, I strictly mean legal, non-violent, sane, and rational political activism. I do NOT mean “acting out” or any Nutzi stupidities. So that is an official disclaimer that I make once again; I’ve said it often enough in the past.
I will tell you what I really think the problem is, what I really think is going on. Der Movement is an entertainment brand. They provide nice fun and games for their followers and only ask for donation handouts in return. Indeed, if you give extra money, you can get “an ever expanding package of privileges” as if you were joining a gym or a spa, or subscribing to ESPN or Max. That’s all they ask, and the hobbyists are well satisfied. But here comes this pain in the ass Ted Sallis, who doesn’t ask for money, but tells folks to actually do something productive, do authentic and useful political activism (and asking no more than he does himself), and that is not pleasant. It is not entertainment. It’s him demanding work. It’s him demanding time. Sallis doesn’t make you feel good that “we’re winning” and that all you need to do is sit back and read Worst Week Yet and send money, and it’ll all be alright. Bad crazy Sallis tells you the unvarnished truth and suggests that you actually do something. How dare he! That bastard!
Sallis got no followers ‘cause Sallis ain’t no fun.
Am I a hypocrite for writing this when I previously advised people, particularly young men, to take care of themselves first before investing a large (note – large) amount of time in activism, and especially before “going public?” No, because there is a large amount of activist space in between the extreme of some young man immolating himself by becoming an overt public activist and cutting off the chance for a normal life and career, and the other extreme, of doing absolutely nothing. People can invest most of their time and effort on their own interests, but still allocate some time, in a pseudonymous fashion, to do something for the cause, gradually increasing activism as their personal situation becomes ever more stable. My advice to take care of yourself first is not meant to mean do nothing.
Now we come to McCulloch. I have had my differences with him in the past, and I am not going to dwell on that here apart from the Footnote below. I note that, as he does now in TOO, he more recently started advocating for a European-American state, as opposed to a “Nordish” one. My concern now is with realism. I know I will be accused of hypocrisy again. Haven’t I always made a distinction between prescriptive and descriptive? Haven’t I always said that if something is necessary we must strive for it regardless of how unrealistic it is? Yes to both, and that hasn’t changed. McCulloch’s plan, as shown in the TOO post here, is good and should be pursued. I’m just “blackpilled” (to use moronic Alt-Right language) about getting people to do anything to achieve these goals.
So what I would say to Mr. McCulloch, in all sincerity, and from the perspective of supporting White nationalist separatism, is that if you can get your followers to do anything useful (with the disclaimer above – legal, non-violent, political, etc.) then come back to us and we can take all of these plans more seriously. When there is a real plan of action and people willing to follow it, then great. But let us be realistic. Responses from the Dissident Right will generally fall into one of two categories. Either they will say “the plan is great, let’s do it!” followed by cracking open a beer and watching a football game, or there will be critical comments like –

If there is secession, whites will have a tiny state the size of Idaho. The map above might have been possible in 1970…
Whites need a spiritual revival…[deleted – blah blah]
– followed by complete inaction. No one will do anything; no one ever does anything. Oh, they might get excited by the entertainment brought to them by that post and donate to TOO, but that’s it.
Here’s an excerpt from a comment by another genius –
For me, this project is wishful thinking. A determined group having re-discovered sexual morality, asking Putin for a living area in Siberia (the local temperature, -40 in winter, would be a good deterrent against the Jews and blacks who would inevitably want to follow) – would be more realist.
The local Mongoloid populations though, e.g. the very ugly Iakuts, would , of course, like to blend and it would be a problem.
SO Antarctica would be even better. No mongols but penguins who are adorable.
The Penguin Ethnostate.
That’s your followers, Richie. You’re older than I am. You haven’t learned yet? No one is interested in how to get from A to B and no one will lift a finger to make it happen. And me writing that is the real reason I have no followers.
Footnote.
McCulloch in that post writing about “American” Jews and Coloreds:
It therefore seems more likely they would prefer to be joined into a large multiracial state that was a major country at the world level rather than be separated into smaller states for each racial group. But if in a post-partition context that historical preference were to change in favor of separate racial nations they could accomplish that by a sub-partition of the larger non-European nation.
The choice for the non-Whites is a larger and more influential rump state (that compared to the larger remainder of America would be relatively weak), or more homogeneous micro-states that would be completely powerless on the world stage.
You see, that goes back to some of my old objections to some of McCulloch’s original separation plans. Southern Europeans in America were put in the position of being either in a relatively small and powerless state with non-Whites or an even smaller and even more powerless micro-state on their own. Well, obviously neither is appropriate or acceptable. It’s either relative weakness and multiracialism or ludicrous absolute weakness with a ghettoized homogeneity. It seems that my point in that regard has been retroactively confirmed.
