Yes, capitalism is the biggest threat.

The technological system is the biggest threat.

Capitalism is a name given by communists to the desire of everyone from the elites to the middle-class to retain what wealth and power they have, instead of embracing communism. Those with wealth and power retaining it is good - it upholds order. The issue is who those elites are, and what they believe. A large number of them are Jewish, but almost all of them are liberals.

Liberalism is the idea that we should be free individuals, free of social constraints. This is an idea appealing to many - why shouldn't I be able to take drugs, as long as I'm not directly harming others? Why can't I produce pornography, and people can watch it if they want? The reason for many social rules is not always immediately obvious. The reason women were not educated as often as men, for instance, only becomes apparent when you see the plummeting birth rates in countries where women get university degrees. So unfettered liberalism eventually comes crashing headlong into reality, because while people may be free from social constraints, they are not free from physical constraints.

Technology is the mechanism by which we free ourselves from physical constraints. With rapidly advancing technology, liberalization does not have time to fully unravel before technology can solve its problems. For example, the acceptance of homosexuality and sexual hedonism more generally has led to an increase in sexually-transmitted diseases, whose negative effects have been wholly offset by advances in medical science. Similarly, the dysgenic effects of birth rate differentials between native, high-IQ populations and immigrant, low-IQ populations, and even the corresponding anti-meritocratic diversity-hiring practices, will be offset by the computers that will be doing our thinking for us. Technology is by definition against nature; in fact it is the only thing that gives us reason to separate the "natural" from the "unnatural" in the first place.

For this reason I identify the technological system as the biggest threat.

No, capitalism is the problem because it needs perpetual growth. Keith Woods explains it perfectly here. And you don't have to be a communist to recognize that too much economic inequality is bad for society.

Keith identifies "capitalism" with the system itself, claiming that it requires endless growth, and that this will eventually hit a wall as we run into environmental problems, because capitalists are more interested in short-term profits than long-term sustainability. The issue in my view is therefore the time preference of those in power (it's too high).

This period of unprecedented growth has also coincided with an unprecedented growth in the size of the state. In fact, a major reason given by globalists that we have to bring in migrants from the 3rd world is that "we need them to pay our seniors' state pensions," because social security is unsustainable with an ageing population. If those seniors had not expected a pension, they would have planned more for the future; i.e. lower time preference.

Arguing for social policy, at least in the current climate, is arguing for white dispossession, regardless of if you think it's a good idea "in theory" or not. Most of the "working class" in Western countries are really part of the global elite; median household income in the US is around $60,000 compared to $10,000 world average. And do these social programs that help the poor live a $30,000 income-equivalent lifestyle actually help whites? No - they incentivize those living on the $10,000 world average to come to America for "a better life", subsidized by the taxes of white people.

Economic inequality is inevitable between, for example, whites and blacks, if we aren't going to subsidize blacks with endless aid programs and welfare checks. Well I for one don't want to subsidize population growth for Africans; that sounds like exactly the problem of endless growth that Keith described. The same goes for the poor and unsuccessful in Western countries - too large a social safety net is simply dysgenic in the long run.
