​Memes and the Post-Riot Age

At the turn of the century a new form of media rose that virtually obsoleted the dominant media form which had a stranglehold over information for the past 100 years. News print, television and film have all suffered with the rise of the internet, and rightly so, as their deadly machines have been increasingly co-opted to serve a corrupted establishment, and their subversive and destructive agenda.
The internet has provided the world, particularly the Western world, with a new form of protest – the meme. Originally conceived by Richard Dawkins in his seminal work ‘The Selfish Gene’, a meme is the cultural equivalent of a gene (its similarity in name is no coincidence). Whereas genes are information passed down genetically from generation to generation, memes are information passed down through cultural means. The old joke “an Englishman, in Irishman and a Scotsman..” is a meme in that the same joke will be told in Iran as “an Iranian, an Iraqi and an Israeli…”. the framework which exists underneath the outer dressing is the meme.

As the internet has grown certain figures, images or icons have been used again and again to express a similar idea, universally understood by users. One such meme is Pepe the frog, who recently rose to prominence with the Donald Trump campaign. Many Trump supporters took control of the Pepe meme, which has existed on the internet for at least a decade, and used it as a form of protest against their enemies, to great effect.

In the 21st century protests, marches and their inevitable outcome, the riot, are now the reserve of angry, impulsive minority groups, which gives them the unconscious appearance in the European psyche of being course, rash, or crude forms of political or social expression. The meme has become a vastly superior sophisticated form of protest or psychological warfare to Europeans. The blatant lack of ability to understand and use memes by minority groups is painfully obvious.

Typical ‘black meme’

There are many in the European struggle who puzzle at the apparent apathy of their people to enact a response to the current situation, and it may seem that this lack of interest amounts to their certain death, at the hands of more energetic groups. Europeans have been through everything at least twice, their racial memory – always picking up subtle cues from the environment – is well aware of the amount of energy one expends when organising protests and marches and the such, and the relative futility of them in the face of the enemy. Europeans have become more nuanced in their behaviour and less physically obvious in their response to situations in which they are threatened. Once they had crusades and decades long wars, then revolutions, civil wars, pogroms, and short, large-scale ground offensives – each time becoming faster and more precise in the execution of the solution to the problem at hand. Europeans have faced their enemy many times before, and to respond the same way each time would be madness.

Europeans play politics like chess, reserve ones energy for the time when it will be most needed, and then, in as few decisive moves as possible, change the game. There is no longer any sense in bursts of energy, as these deplete vital stores and leave one unable to fully push back when needed. Instead, they suffer the spears and arrows, the constant insults and disrespect, the denigration and dismissal of their culture and the destruction of their civilisation, because they know deep down inside when the time is right they will strike back, and it will be devastating.

One Does Not Simply Ask For One’s Freedom

The following passage is taken from pages 57-58 of Personality and Evolution, by Stan Gooch:

‘The Ego, ideally, bears its sufferings in silence and without complaint. Again, ideally, it does not break this silence even under torture. It does not request mercy. Nor does it request freedom – it simply takes it, or dies in the attempt. ‘Let my people go’ is the request of the Self. (And one must report, sadly, that those who merely ask for their freedom do not usually get it.)

There is, indeed, a sense in which the Self does not want to be free and in which it enjoys its suffering. This is a statement one must make with caution – for, though it is, I believe, in a certain sense true, it is the kind of statement which is apt to be only too useful as fascist propaganda. Is one saying, for example, that the Jews enjoyed the concentration camps of the last war? Or that Negroes wanted to be shipped as slaves to America and elsewhere, there often to die of starvation and mistreatment? That obviously goes much too far. Yet there is a sort of truth here. There is a joking question which asks : “What does a Jew fear more than persecution?” to which the answer is : “being overlooked.” And something of this is true, I think, also of women. Some women, at any rate, seem willing to accept a good deal of physical violence and other ill-treatment from the men they love. The wanting of punishment or suffering has in fact obtained clear recognition, not only in clinical psychology, but in common parlance, with the term ‘masochism’. A masochist is a person who, in some sense of the terms, enjoys suffering and invites pain.’

For the purpose of this essay I will be referring to Gooch’s theory on the human mind, which simply proposes that it is comprised of two systems, the Ego and the Self. In short the Ego can be roughly equated to a daytime, conscious, linear, masculine brain, located in the cerebrum and the musculature of the body, whilst the Self can be equated to a nocturnal, unconscious, irrational, feminine brain, located in the cerebellum, and the autonomic responses of the body – the reflexes, the senses, the viscera etc.

Some populations of the world are led more by the Self, and some by the Ego. But every one of us contains both at all times. It’s the essence of human. Across the world, where cerebellar activities such as ‘soul’ singing, dancing and the use of emotional feelings to describe one’s state are more popular, we can say these people, as a whole, are more driven by the Self. And where we find a greater propensity for cerebral activity, such as technical discussion or time-regulated tasks, as well as a sense of individuality, we will find people who are more Ego-dominant. Incidentally, on average, men are more ‘Ego’ focused and women more ‘Self’ focused.

Americans asking for their freedom

Getting back to our point, the notion of freedom, to an Ego dominant individual, is inherent in his personality. The very idea that another individual doesn’t have freedom is incredulous. How can you not have something that you were born with, he will say? How can you let someone (whom you have not contracted with) tell you what to do? For individual freedom is indeed a natural state for the Ego dominant personality. A Self dominant personality, on the other hand, is naturally submissive (lacking a dominant internal Ego), and so practically requires a master to give him the discipline required in an Ego dominant system, such as the West. If we apply Gooch’s theory to our world, then we begin to understand why some people just can’t be free.

Take the current situation in America for example (and to some extent across the Western world). Radical, separatist African-Americans, or at least their latest incarnation known as Black Lives Matter, are asking for the American establishment to give them the same privileges and freedoms apparently only allowed by white Americans. The question that no one seems to ask is why don’t they simply walk away from their oppressors and start their own country somewhere else? Isn’t this exactly what the white American people had to do in order to free themselves from their former master England? Break off all ties and never speak again, or at least until the dust had settled and they had found their own identity as a cohesive, separate nation. Of course, it wasn’t easy, but the end result was vastly more freedom than they had been previously ‘allowed’ by the English. They never complained during the hardest years, neither did they ask England to save them during events such as the great depression, they suffered their pain in silence rather than buckle under and crawl back in a submissive position.

Black people resisting

Black Lives Matter (along with many other ‘oppressed’ Self groups) talk about forming resistance (which is at least a step up from ‘assistance’). But resistance is exactly what they don’t need to be doing. Why would someone want to remain a part of a system that supposedly treats them with such abject disrespect, and always has? Resistance is the language of the willing victim, for it is only someone who wants to be accepted by the system who feels they have something to resist in it. They could apply their full force in resistance but eventually they will expend all their energy and the age-old system will still be there. If you wish to make yourself an enemy of the masters, who hold all the power, you will, inevitably, lose. The only way to negate the effect of the system is to totally remove oneself from it, and refuse to interact with it ever again. Of course, this would also mean no more special rights and privileges such as welfare, free schooling, access to jobs etc, but after a few years hard work they would be truly self-reliant, self-sufficient, and free.

The same argument can be applied to Israel, and the Jewish populations of the West. Historically, almost every Jewish population has claimed to have suffered oppression under their host nations. Even as far back as ancient Egypt we find Moses tasked with freeing his people from slavery (((which they had apparently been placed under for no reason))). The question is, if the West is so anti-Semitic, why don’t they simply move to their own country which they fought so hard for (and continue to fight for), and never have contact with the so-called evil Europeans again? Could it really be true that some people relish their place in society as the eternal victim, using it to milk assistance from the countries who are simultaneously accused of abusing them?

Is it then the fault of the ‘oppressive’ Ego-led, self-responsible Europeans, with their ‘one man’ mindset, or is it the fault of the ‘oppressed’ Self-obsessed peoples of the world, with their ‘one world’ mindset? In reality, it is no ones ‘fault’. It is simply a ‘fault’, or more correctly, a ‘feature’ in the genetic make up of each human race that is responsible for their actions and reactions. Only our recognition of this hard-wired precurser can prevent us from repeatedly making the same historic mistakes, over and over.

The Importance of the 1st Amendment

All around the world, the United States is held in high esteem for being “free”. However, do we ever take a minute to stop and think what that means? There are plenty of countries in the world that are considered free, but what makes us different?

This is where the first amendment comes in. There is a reason it was put first. This amendment lays the groundwork for the rest of, not only our freedoms, but the country itself.

This is how it was for years, until recently. It is becoming more and more evident that our 1st amendment rights are gradually being taken away.

Let’s take a look at the original 1st Amendment, so we can break it down.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The first part of this amendment is regarding the freedom of religious practice. Although I personally believe the US should legally be a Christian nation, I do agree that no law should prohibit the free exercise of any religion.

The Founding Fathers make various references to God, yet they stop short of converting that faith into a state religion. However, that is beside the point I am trying to make, for it simply isn’t going to happen (at least not in the current state of the country).

Most importantly, this also gives religions the right to protect themselves when they come under attack, and allows them to be critical of other religions. In the current state, it seems as though Christianity is able to be criticized by all other religions, but if Christians turn the table back on those who started it, we are labeled bigots.

This is especially evident with Jews and Muslims. It is a fact that, at this moment in time, there is a bill on its way to the Senate that would effectively criminalize any anti-Jewish speech. Some direct lines from this bill (H.R.672) include:

C) Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, the State of Israel, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.

(D) Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.

(E) Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interest of their own countries.

This is extremely perplexing to me, seeing as how the ones who established this country, AKA Christians, have no such laws protecting them from any sort of critique. The same thing goes for Muslims. Anything remotely anti-Islam, such as noticing that many Muslims actually support (or at least don’t disavow) terrorism, is immediately labeled Islamophobia. Disobeying either of these unwritten rules can actually ruin your life. You can be fired, kicked out of school, or even arrested.

On to the next portion of the 1st Amendment, regarding the freedom of speech and press. Here is the fun part, and, in my opinion, the most important piece of American law.

Freedom of Speech is by far the most important thing in a Democracy like ours. It is very easy to become ill-informed, or simply not informed at all, in politics. Free speech is the ultimate counter to this. If you want to find a way to take a stand and change the current state of the US, this is the way. You have the ability to shape people’s minds and shine light on topics they have never thought of. Who knows, you could start a chain reaction that begins a movement.

However, like I said earlier in the article, our 1st amendment rights are being taken away from us. It is becoming obvious that the left, many without realizing it, are pushing an anti-free-speech agenda. By automatically labeling anybody who opposes them a Nazi, fascist, or a racist, they are scaring people away from speaking their minds.

While nothing pisses me off more than this bullshit agenda, it all within the confines of the law; which means that you are allowed to verbally fight back.

There is no easy way to do this, since you may lose your job or be kicked out of school for having the wrong opinion. This is why it so very important for young people to get involved with like-minded individuals. You can create a network of support to ensure this can’t happen or at least isn’t as likely. So by all means, actively discuss controversial topics, call out people on using faulty left wing logic, and quite simply use your voice to its full extent.

This brings us to the final portion of the 1st Amendment, the right to peacefully assemble. I am a firm believer in real life activism. It is one of the hardest parts of having far right views.

You may lose friends over outwardly showing these opinions. However, this is the most effective way of showing unity with the people sharing your ideas. By collaborating and connecting with people, you can show a true strength in numbers. The Unite The Right Charlottesville rally was a perfect example, regardless of whether or not you think it succeeded or failed.

One thing is for sure, people started taking the Alt-Right seriously. Imagine how our movement could grow, if people saw us standing shoulder-to-shoulder like that, defending our existence. People take notice when you aren’t just anonymously shitposting online. Meeting people who you can have a face-to-face discussion with, makes it all seem real. Use this to its full extent, tying back into creating a network. When you know the people in real life, it makes it much easier for them to support you.

With all of this being said, the time is now to defend our 1st amendment rights. If you see something you know is wrong, point it out. If we don’t practice these rights, it makes it that much easier for them to take it away from us. Don’t let the Founding Fathers visions for America die in vain.

A Brave New Online World

The End of an Era

In late 2016, Obama decided to give one of his final middle fingers to the American people. He allowed ICANN to transition from American control to an independent body, effectively removing the right of freedom of speech. Ted Cruz even ran ad campaigns against this effort, and Trump supported his effort to prevent this disaster.

Those efforts were fruitless and we are now watching the beginning moves of the establishment in this chess game for freedom of speech and expression. Daily Stormer has been bouncing from domain to domain as they are seized, and have resorted to running a .onion website on the Tor network. Network Solutions seized Stormfront’s domain, claiming that there were murders linked to the website. The chinks that Gab.ai were working with even caved and threatened to revoke their domain if a post by Andrew Anglin was not removed.

The days of being able to speak your mind on the internet without threat of censorship are now over. We grew up in the wild west of the internet era, and the jews just couldn’t let that go on. They need to control the information we receive so they have complete control over the narrative. An effort to build a Brave New Online World is currently underway through sites like Verrit, and it’s only a matter of time until your favorite websites are forced to bend the knee to ICANN.

Establishing Our Digital Reich

We now find ourselves facing tremendous opportunity. A free speech platform needs to emerge, and this is only going to continue global polarization as people pick sides between free speech and “Verification”. Free speech being a core American value is going to be one of our greatest strengths in the coming days, and we are the only movement that considers that a priority.

This needs to be something we take advantage of. Most of our ideas are only anathema to the vocal minority of the far left, and people will slowly come around to our ideas they perceive as more extreme. The left knows the “silent majority” is not a myth, and that’s why we see efforts like Redneck Revolt, an attempt to bring them to their side.

Force people to pick a side. This fight is both offline and online. Talk about issues like free speech and other socially accepted values of ours with people in your life, and those ideas will naturally filter out to the general population. Studies suggest that there is a tipping point where an idea becomes socially accepted once 10% of the population can agree with it. Currently 9% of the population identifies with “Neo-Nazi values”. We’re winning, and they’re shitting themselves.

Thriving in the New World

This free speech platform does not exist yet, but it will. I strongly urge everyone reading this to consider what they can to do contribute. If you have a passion for writing, start getting those ideas down and get ready to launch your writings when the technology is ready. If you are a musician, start thinking of musical projects that you would like to share. If you’re an artist, maybe you could start a page for propaganda posters that you design.

We’re going to be seeing a whole new wild west emerge before our eyes, and you can bet your ass that they aren’t just going to let us have our sandbox without a fight. The more of us that are there, actively producing, engaging, and thriving, the harder it will be for them to stop us. Stop worrying about “not being good enough” or any of that BS. We aren’t going to have multi million dollar record companies producing music on this platform, everyone will be working off a bootstrap budget. We will all grow an improve together.

The days are still looking dark for free speech and expression, but I am confident that this is simply an eclipse, not dusk. Keep focusing on self-improvement and continue to spread our ideas on every single platform you can get your hands on. Come up with productive activities that you enjoy to help us become a stronger group as a whole. We’ve got this in the bag. They’re scared, and we’re watching their death throes.
