White racial confidence for the majority of Whites is going to come from positive interactions with the White Vanguard.
The White Vanguard ought to already have all the 'self-belief' necessary to act in the world as a positive change agent.
But for there to be a *movement*, a large number of 'concerned' - but not yet committed - Whites need to trust 'the movement'.
Why should they trust a movement that cannot decide on fundamental questions regarding the use of power?
The internecine squabbling over NSDAPery within White Nationalism is an indication that what we have right now is not a 'movement' in any conceivable way, but, rather a *conversation*.
This isn't a bad thing. Or a good thing. It's simply where things stand right now.
The White Vanguard - people like you and I who have decided that the survival and thriving of the White race is the priority - need to understand our current situation with clarity, not regret or frustration. Instead, we should act in a manner that takes advantage of the situation.
The NSDAPers want everyone in the pro-White movement to accept their leadeship.
That's being resisted.
Rather than lament the fact that we cannot 'get our act together', it might be more productive to recognize that 'the act' we're actually a part of *is* 'together'. We're in the conversation/consciousness-raising part of the process of collective White self-actualization, not the 'organization' phase of that process.
I say, take pleasure (and even hope) in the fact that we're *having* a conversation that many voices can take part in. These moments of 'squabbling' and dissension are part of the healing process. Nothing could be more disastrous than premature 'organization' before our race is ready to commit to White collective assertion.
As I've said many times, in my view the essence of 'White Nationalism' - of pro-White advocacy - is 'Whites caring about Whites because they are White *and no other reason*'.
The NSDAPers still care more about whether you're a NSDAP-enjoyer than whether you're White and need care and concern.
Agree with all you've said there @Hamburgertoday. It's a positive these conversations are happening. As long as they don't lead to unnecessary conflicts, the ideas being discussed should logically and organically take us further towards where we need to be. It doesn't have to be nearly as complicated as some think. Thanks for commenting.
The problem is that the Nazis have been the ones pressing the ticket. They spurned the creation of the alt right and led the meme war. They spurned the creation of active clubs more than any other group. From their camp rose folkism, which has spread out from NS and German stuff to other groups.
I really don't think you guys even fully understand what Joel is saying. It's not like he wants to resurrect and give every White nation German National Socialism. It seems that his idea is that each group takes the core values of NS for themselves. This view is at least expressed by Thomas Sewell.
For years I have been telling people, Nationalist and Conservative alike, that what we need most right now is Moral Confidence. As Zander said and most of us realize, the rational arguments have long been won. The self-destructive madness of our age is virtually self-refuting, and if reason alone, Truth alone, were enough to win the day we would already be basking in total victory.
But we lack Moral Confidence. It doesn't matter if one is inwardly convicted of something if he takes no actions regarding it. And many of us, including myself, have excused this by citing how important it is to, "get things right", to put everything exactly in order, to prosecute every detail and smooth every wrinkle before taking action. Perfectionism, in its worst form. As the Yeats poem The Second Coming goes, "The best lack all conviction, while the worst | Are full of passionate intensity."
That's why when we kindled souls see even the barest fruits of action - banners held on a bridge, a march of a few dozen men, a small band standing against a tide of manufactured outrage and tyranny - we become enamored. So many are less interested in the specific ideas and proposals as they are in the aesthetic expressions of it. The primal logic goes that whatever is animating such men to take a stand on these fundamental issues must have enough good in them, else why would these men stand for such things?
We then let ourselves get too wrapped up in dissecting the particulars about any of these efforts, often in an attempt to dismiss them in favor of our self-satisfying waiting for a savior-idea to come along and sweep us along. The fact is no idea is perfect, nor ever will be perfect, nor any action regarding such worldviews. We are imperfect beings with limited knowledge and wisdom who must, nevertheless, at some point plant our flag on some hill and defend it against all who would rip it down.
We all understand the importance of not dying on the wrong hill, but we so often lack the confidence to take any hill at all. Cynicism is a spiritual blight of our age that sneers at those who would believe in something, anything, outside of what is compelled by raw coercision, hedonism, appetite, and fear. We crave that far rarer fruit of Romanticism, no matter how Quixotic it might be, simply to conquer that beast of Cynicism that gnaws on us constantly.
So long as there is some true kernel of Nationalistic truth and no fundamental blights to it, I enjoy all those different strategies out there, great and small, that try to take some kind of hill for Nationalism. I believe National Socialism's "rehabilitation" is necessary for breaking the modern pseudomorality that binds us and our countrymen, but it does not require a direct emulation nor revival of it necessarily. We don't need the whole wall to be reduced to rubble to take the castle, only a wide-enough breach to pour in our worldview. We should learn from the lessons of history and take from it what worked and what did not, and apply it accordingly to our own circumstances - and then ruthlessly discard the chaff and rot that have accumulated therein.
But what matters even more is whatever idea that instills within men the Moral Confidence to take their hill and not just fight to the death for it but stand tall amid the doldrums, proves it has the key value any successful worldview must contain to pursue victory. To quote from a certain German statesmen who understood this better than most:
"Ideals and ideologies, as well as movements grounded on a definite spiritual foundation, whether true or false, can never be broken by the use of force after a certain stage, except on one condition, namely, that this use of force is wielded in the service of a new ideal or Weltanschauung which burns with a new flame."
"We all face the same threat, and that threat does not originate from native European people."
I agree with everything you've written here until I got to this. I'm scratching my head over this. In my view, western Europeans and Americans most defiinitely created their own problems.
Specifically with the 18th century revolution that created the modern abstract god called Human Rights. Human Rights is the Achilles Heal that other groups, including white women, have seized upon and this culture, which I call the sacred victim, entitled parasite, is the result. Entitled parasite meaning privilege without obligation. You merely have to be born in order to acquire "rights."
It is not only exploited by the sacred victims but it has captured the elites, and whites able to avoid the consequences.
Before Human Rights, people were more inclined to think in terms of privilege, obligation, honor and divine order. It was and still is the dominant culture throughout the wortld, including the pre-revolutionary West.
White is not a good term to use, it’s not the proper classification.
Better to say Caucasian/caucasoid
European/Europoid
Or the Nordic Race
Something along those lines, taxonomic and racial terms are far better.
White is just a color and it’s a very loaded term, it also does not galvanize our people to action.
It also sparks the debate of:
1‘but jews are White’
2‘No they’re not’
1‘But they have White skin’
2‘They’re not White, they are of the Arab/Middle-Eastern race, some just have White skin’
1‘Well their skin is still White, so they are White’
2 ‘Many asiatics/mongoloids have White skin as well’
this is why I prefer to call our race European/Nordic/Caucasian, it’s a more accurate clssification and there is no room for discussion and going back and forth on terminology, it’s very clear
This is a good essay.

'White' is the brand needing revival today...
Exactly
In spite of the faults of the movement, there were causes that led to actions.
Without doubt, and we face many of those same causes today

Thank you for your essay.
This is both a Holy & Racial War. Nobody seems to be mentioning the former. They also fail to comprehend you can't fight secularism with secularism.
If the world’s white population only new what was really going on and why.
