All the racist liberal memes are nonsense. Demography isn't destiny at all, jews are like 1% of the west and control everything, quantitative analysis is nonsense liberalism. I've kept my criticisms of AmRen to myself for a long time because there's not much reason to attack them but all they do is endlessly perpetuate nonsense myths that lead to nowhere, endorse our enemies 'can't boom the Loom'??!?!?!?! and refuse to point out who has power let alone actually critique them or attempt to oppose them politically.

If demography was destiny why doesn't Asia dominate the world despite having like 5/8ths of the world population? Why is Africa a stone age dump despite having almost twice the population than there are whites worldwide? Power is destiny and power is gained through blood-consciousness alone, not mere numbers. The jews are the most racially conscious people on the planet despite being small in number whilst also having no positive attributes; they are a workshy, dishonest, unvirtuous and cowardly race of man yet they have the most power. Consciousness is Destiny.

In a way you are correct - demography is simply counting up the number of people, and it's only liberals who claim that all people have equal worth (an utterly ridiculous notion as I'm sure you'll agree).

On the flip-side, demographic shifts are unambiguously changing the structure of our society and the world. The decline of the West coincides with the decline of white Europeans as a share of the population.

Demography may not be the only factor, but it is a pretty significant one, in determining destiny (not the current state of affairs, but what will inexorably come to be). You mention Asia; the population of China is why it is predicted to become the world's largest superpower in the very near future. You mention Africa; the racial consciousness (relative to whites) that blacks have does not prevent them being a "stone age dump", and the coming population explosion of Africa (relative to the rest of the world) is a real concern given the resultant migration patterns it will likely induce. You mention Jews; do Jews' high IQ scores, cunning and willingness to lie not have as much to do with their success as ethnocentrism?

I think instead of blanket statements (demography is/is not destiny) it's better to build a model of social behavior that can predict trends with accuracy. If we did it it'd be a heck of a lot better than what leftists could come up with, since they deny basic truths. So it'd take a combination of racial consciousness, IQ, economic situation, level of diversity and so on. All of these factors together predict the fate of nations.

Yes but is that because the masses are the difference or is it because the elites were replaced? Most people are raceless, they don't have an effect on the Destiny of a Culture, only the Culture-Bearing stratum do, these are the great men of Will who move history. The people in power are no longer the Culture-Bearing stratum of Europe, instead they're jews and White jews who are Culture-Retarders (hold back the culture from developing by clinging to old ideas IE reactionaries) and Culture-Distorters (outsiders of the Culture that can't help but to subvert the Culture's destiny, as long as they are sufficiently empowered and conscious of their own destiny). There have been empires in the past where the ruling class and ordinary citizens were massively outnumbered by non-citizens and slaves yet they remained vitalistic because the people in power were the vitalistic Culture-Bearing stratum of their particular Cultures.

Of course a 100% white country would be better, but the real problem is who holds power. A 99% white country where the jewish 1% holds the power is more doomed than a 75% white country where the Culture-Bearing Europeans are in power. Think of it from the perspective of trajectory, if you give Belarus to jews today what will happen? They will quickly become descendant. If you give America, Britain, Germany, France etc to Europeans who are bearers of the Idea of the Future what will happen? They immediately become ascendant. Power is everything, we need the right people in power.

You mention jews; do jews' high IQ scores, cunning and willingness to lie not have as much to do with their success as ethnocentrism?

jews don't have high IQ, that's a myth that has only been perpetuated since the 60s when jews had full control of the social sciences. Before that, when the people conducting the tests were white, jews were considered to be dullards.

I think that all these things are downstream of the system and elite class in society. It doesn't matter if the crew members on the ship are 120iq average, all of the same race etc if the captain is intentionally steering them into a storm.

Read Imperium. Yockey, expanding on Spengler's ideas, created a science of Culture.

It's because the elites were replaced, you're right. They are the ultimate cause. The masses are just a tool they are using.

Culture-Retarders (hold back the culture from developing by clinging to old ideas IE reactionaries)

I disagree with this characterization of reactionaries of course but I will leave it there...

Of course a 100% white country would be better, but the real problem is who holds power. A 99% white country where the jewish 1% holds the power is more doomed than a 75% white country where the Culture-Bearing Europeans are in power.

Yeah we agree mostly, we're just arguing over the magnitude of the effect. Once you get below 75%, you can no longer honestly say you live in a white country, and even whites in power would have to start listening to the demands of nonwhite groups. To restore the nation you now have to talk about repatriation which many people don't want.

I think where I disagree is that since we do live in a liberal democracy, that's what makes the demographic shifts more important where they wouldn't have been for past empires. Of course, the elites are not all elected, but to suggest that the political class are not at least somewhat constrained by popular opinion is silly; of course, they do have the power to shift that popular opinion, but the way they've chosen to do it is through demographic replacement.

Why? You think looking back to a time that has been made redundant by the world political situation, technology or any other host of factors isn't ineffective? There's a difference between holding Traditionalist principles, being a vitalistic right wing revolutionary, and being an impotent reactionary. That difference is the difference between the Fascist and the Reactionary.

Really? So in 80%~ White Britain the elite can completely ignore White interests but in 13% black America the elite are compelled to listen to black demands? How'd you figure that one? The elite don't listen to anyone's demands, they manufacture groups' demands to meet what they want then pretend to make concessions. The 60s is full of this, a bunch of jewish CIA and media ops masked under the guise of black movements and the like. How do jews get everything they want in America as less than 2% of the population and Whites get literally nothing at about 55%?

I made a thread on this topic on both The3rdPosition and DebateAltRight on the 12th of May this year, you can check the archives for this thread; it has examples of the will of the people being completely ignored. Here is a comment from it:

"There was a paper in 2014 'Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens'.

They looked at 1779 policy changes from 1981 to 2002 and in 2015 Martin Gilens (one of the co-authors) did a follow-up where he looked at 2245 policy changes from 1964 to 2006.

What they found was that policy changes were driven entirely by elite opinion and to a lesser extent by special interest opinion. According to them average citizens preference had almost no effect on policy change. Whether the average citizens 90 percent opposed a policy or 90 percent supported a policy, it still had about a 30% chance of happening.

With economic elites the story is radically different. If they all oppose something, it doesn't pass and if they all support it, it'll have a roughly 60 percent chance of getting passed.

For interest groups the important effects are around the middle, when interest groups began to net support change.

Alt Hype goes into the methodology of this study, some criticisms to it and a few more studies (one of them showing how Autocracies respond better to the will of the people than democracies), in depth here: https://youtu.be/Bpqb9LDfARg

He discussed the topic in a general way in another video here: https://youtu.be/wcU2hVXLsB0"

No, I consider reactionary thought to be simply a rejection of the Whig view of history - not the desire to revert to a prior state, but a belief that either at some point in the past we took a wrong path, or that we are on an inevitable path of decline. I suppose by my definition many fascists would count as reactionaries. For me, technology absolutely is the factor that makes your description of reactionary thought inapplicable to the modern age, but I also think that without significantly scaling back technology humanity is doomed anyway. I definitely believe that the ascendancy of technology is a "wrong path", and in the political sphere the ascendancy of liberal democracy is a "wrong path" also. I think if you squint, both technology and liberal democracy look like the same thing which is a progression toward freedom from constraints; in technology's case, material constraints, and in liberalism's case, social constraints. A progression toward freedom from constraints may also be referred to as increasing entropy; an increase in disorder over time. For these reasons I call myself a reactionary.

I have to say, I really have no good answer to this. You're right.

According to them average citizens preference had almost no effect on policy change. Whether the average citizens 90 percent opposed a policy or 90 percent supported a policy, it still had about a 30% chance of happening.

I remember this study but I forgot how extreme the conclusions were. You make a compelling point and you've changed my mind on this. Maybe it is not so unreasonable to say that the opinion of the public matters not one bit.


Do you think, then, that demographic replacement is not quite the killing blow to Europeans that many others make out? That instead, both cultural decline of our societies, and mass migration, are both a consequence of lack of racial consciousness among whites? Don't you think that mass migration and miscegenation are causing a general loss of ethnocentrism in all races but Jews, and this is the reason mass migration is pushed by the elites, to maintain their power?

I agree but you can just say Left vs Right or Mechanistic-Materialist vs Organic worldview or something. When I say reactionary I mean the temperament and tendencies of people who either cling to a rotting order or try to bring back one that is out of date according to the material conditions of the world. I'm not referring to the timeless principles of society and statecraft. Fascism is of the right, of the organic worldview; it's a Revolutionary Conservatism in a sense. The reactionary mindset nowadays manifests in paleocons vs fascists, the paleocon says white people are killing themselves the fascist says we're being killed. Reactionaries essentially act like everything is out of control, human will means nothing etc. Revolutionary minded people put forward the idea that white people can actually be saved, it just depends on action.

Do you think, then, that demographic replacement is not quite the killing blow to Europeans that many others make out?

I think most of these narratives are defeatism or used to try to scaremonger people into voting for the GayOp Party. How many times have you seen 'once Texas flips it's all over for white people, the GOP can never win again!' or something like this? Since when has the GOP helped whites? I say it all the time but Civil Rights and 1965 immigration had more right support than left and 6/9 presidents since then have been GOP, so it would seem they're the foremost enemy of whites then.

That instead, both cultural decline of our societies, and mass migration, are both a consequence of lack of racial consciousness among whites?

Well it's a lack of power but power will come from racial consciousness. Jewish strategy is so effective because the average jew actively works for jewish interests. They spam mail politicians, calls, donate money to jewish orgs etc. Look in jewish newspapers and stuff, they have instructions for ordinary jews to do stuff to help jews. Of course usury is a massive cause of their power but their level of racial consciousness is unmatched, jews are essentially all organised into a worldwide mafia. This is what whites need to emulate if they are to gain power, we need to create what is essentially gangs/mafias.

Don't you think that mass migration and miscegenation are causing a general loss of ethnocentrism in all races but Jews, and this is the reason mass migration is pushed by the elites, to maintain their power?

Yes, our entire society is designed around alienating and deracinating people in every way imaginable. People see the endless propaganda in media but they rarely think about the psychological affect of the technological society. Our entire society is designed around avoiding the re-emergence of the Authoritarian Personality: suburbs, cars, non-walkable cities, small business being replaced by supermarkets, kitchen appliances reducing the need to leave the house as often. All of this breaks down communities and Social Capital which was the building block of the fascist revolutions.

This makes perfect sense, but doesn't it have some dreadful implications on the political situation today? The western world is entirely plutocratic. It's so plutocratic that it provides the model for plutocracy everywhere, both today and historically. Plutocrats will never oppose the policies that are in place today, because they are their only real beneficiaries. It's little different with middle class/PMC people. Maybe I just have awful luck, but I have never seen an upper class person that wasn't an "apolitical", individualist opportunist, a PMC that wasn't an insane, fanatical modern-day Puritan and a middle class person that wasn't a spineless, fence-sitting moral coward incapable of coming to terms with his own interests.

The main groups in opposition to the neoliberal hegemony that can boast of any activity seem to be "redneck hicks" and some select types of nonconformist zoomers. Liberalism is still extremely unpopular with the masses, of course, but as you yourself said, that doesn't count for much. If those figures are accurate, I am not sure what can really be done. The only way to replace a plutocratic elite in a plutocratic system is to just make more money than them, but not only are they calling the shots and running a monopolistic system - you also have to deal with the fact that many "based" new money plutocrats will like the extra power and strive to maintain the neoliberal system, even if the current elites were somehow magically replaced to make way for better people.

Yep you're exactly right, the only way they were taken out of power last time was through hundreds of thousands of people organising due to the high amount of social capital and feeling of solidarity amongst very action-orientated and masculine men post world war 1.

Since then the people in power have been doing everything they can to break up social ties (social capital) and promote anti-authoritarianism through New Left, Postmodernism etc philosophies. I have come to the same realisation that we don't have the foundation for a fascist revolution (but it's still the only model that can work, we have no elite and military support for some kind of coup or something) and even if by some act of god we could organise literally millions of people they would still have more resources than us due to the insane amount of wealth inequality today compared to the interwar era.

We have the same struggle as them but all the factors they had in their favour don't apply to us and we have like 10x steeper of a hill to climb. The only benefit we did have was that we could reach people through the internet at a much lower cost than irl propaganda but even that is being taken from us.

My honest expectations are that if liberalism goes south, it will be because of the aggressive insistence of liberals on self-sabotage and idiocy, if anything. This does complicate things for people who want to do something constructive, though. I can't think of anything doable other than building human capital, networking and promoting a new counter-culture and self-improvement, then just waiting for a political solution to develop on its own. It seems like an atrocious plan but I can't think of anything better. Even then, that also has its risks.
