Every story eventually comes to an end
Alabama
…When I was growing up, I never experienced anything in the way of social pressure to conform to the mores and pieties of anti-racism…the world that I was leaving behind in Alabama was a world of Christianity, American patriotism, and cultural conservatism. This is a world which I came to believe wasn’t radical enough for my tastes. It wasn’t moving fast enough in my chosen direction…
I know what it is like to feel alienated from mainstream society. I know what it is like to withdraw from that world and attempt to create a new one in your own ideological image…There were a few occasions when I took a few tepid steps back from that world, but I was young and angry and those two things always seem to correlate with political radicalism.
[Yet] aging and experience gradually wear down and temper the passions of youth…Instead of being frustrated and enraged at society, you start focusing your attention on how to change that society in constructive ways, and those questions tend to lead you down another rabbit hole. In my case, I was truly astonished that it led to me to conservatism and back to the cultural milieu from which I came in the Lower Chattahoochee Valley.
…Everything that followed stemmed from the political nucleus of my worldview…Specifically, the marginalization of the White Nationalist movement by the reigning taboos attracts kooks, misfits, sociopaths and exhibitionists who wouldn’t fit into any society, whether it be a White ethnostate, Barack Obama’s multicultural utopia, or the White Republic of the Founding Fathers.
There are con-artists and rent seeking charlatans who trying to make a living for themselves off the gullibility and desperation of alienated people.
There are intellectuals who are drunk on ideological kool aid…There are fantasists and time wasters who are here primarily to entertain themselves. There are hateful people who just plainly dislike other groups. There are prophets of doom and an endless supply of disagreeable curmudgeons…
[I categorically reject the preconditions mandating that:]
You can (must) choose between being a decent civilized person and being a White Nationalist.
You…choose between being a Christian and a White Nationalist.
You…choose between being an American patriot and being a White Nationalist.
You…choose between your family and ethny and being a White Nationalist.
You…choose between being in favor of exterminating the Jews and being a White Nationalist.
…The synergy of these destructive types lashing out on the internet is the source of the well known “fever swamps” metaphor which is used to describe the Far Right. Like mosquitoes that carry malaria, interacting with these flies over any extended period of time is physically draining…Most people just feel awkward and walk away. The natural instinct of human beings is to withdraw from situations and places which they find disagreeable.
I learned quite a lot in Virgina. Since returning to Alabama, I have shook off my youthful alienation from mainstream society. I have found constructive ways to advance our views in the real world. I’m increasingly preoccupied with these activities.
I’ve reached the point in my life where I want to invest in my future. I’m systematically weeding out bad habits and replacing them with positive substitutes: things which add value and increase in their net worth over time…
I’m long past ready to forget that I even know people like Michael O’Meara and Greg Johnson.…I have grown weary of returning like an old horse to this poisoned well.
It is full of sociopathy, misanthropy, nihilism, intense hatred of Christianity, anti-Americanism, fascism, all things Nazi, lashing out, not just reasonable criticism of Jews, but genocidal sentiments and especially disagreeableness and alienation and outright hostility and loathing…It is the one consistently depressing spot in my day…
If you thought the T4 euthanasia program was over the top, just wait to you meet the “man-animal chimeras.” We have learned nothing from history and especially the appropriate lessons from why White people rejected racialism in the first place.
We need a cooler, more measured, slower burning way of channeling our anger down constructive channels…
The sheer force of habit brings me back (to post here). I’m getting a lot better at breaking bad habits though…
Unless some miraculous transformation happens within the White Nationalist movement, a highly unlikely scenario in which the fever swamp is drained and a sympathetic face is presented toward the public, a project which is well advanced in Europe, I see no reason to carry on any further.
For once I have nothing further to say.
I just want to crack open a good bottle of wine, read some old books, and quietly enjoy my retirement – as winter shades into spring.
