Amerika

As the years have tumbled on and the democracy wars (WW1/2) have fallen far back in the rearview mirror, the hold they had over our imagination has decreased.

For a long time, the American mythos was based on a presumed continuity between the Revolution, Civil War, and WW2 where we fought off “tyrants” and established “freedom.”

Then, it turned out that we were simply enabling tyrants who were wearing “we are not tyrants honest” t-shirts. We had become what we claimed to be fighting.

Naturally, all of this points back to the French Revolution, not the American one. What have we been doing for centuries but fighting against aristocracy?

We are seeing a massive tantrum against the middle ages in which Germanic culture asserted itself over what Rome had become. Germanic culture favored aristocracy as an outgrowth of ethnicity to bureaucratic and legalistic solutions.

The middle ages were so successful that they produced huge populations of people who could do nothing more than move to cities and get jobs, and these naturally wanted increased liberalization.

Liberalization refers to the removal of constraints on individualism. Instead of being bound by culture, history, tradition, the divine, and common sense, individuals now are able to make “choices” based on personal wants and desires.

Even early in the middle ages, the rising middle classes were scheming against the aristocrats. This happened through several keystone events, culminating in the Peasant Revolts and Magna Carta, later the English Revolution.

Eventually things got so bad that we had the French Revolution. This guaranteed that every government afterward would manipulate and socially engineer its population in order to avoid another revolution.

We gave them the blank cheque to do whatever was necessary to keep us suppressed. At that point, it is self-defense for the political system.

More importantly, the French Revolution showed us the Napoleonic cycle. At first, the individualists claim to want freedom, then they want equality, then socialism, and finally, tyranny, just as Plato predicted.

The Americans reinvented Napoleon with the 14A, which mandated government intervention into all human relationships in order to enforce equality. They became Jacobins and Soviets by doing so, with predictable results.

To get there, we had to create a national mythos that tied together our founding Revolution (skipping over the Constitutional Confederation) with our Civil War idea of racial equality and the WW1 notion of us democracy-people opposing those evil psuedo-monarchist nationalists.

This mythology prompted national guilt because, upon returning home, we realized that Black people and Amerinds were essentially our Jews in servitude.

Thus began the 1950s update to the WW2 narrative where we were good because we were diverse, and everyone else was bad because they were not.

The war against the Nazis continued long after the last Nazi handed in his weapons, unrepentant like most people with a real cause.

Diversity killed the WW2 narrative. Instead of harmless victims, we saw horrifying victimizers disguised as victims, coming into our country to steal handouts and rape teenagers.

Ironically, it did not matter what race they were from; any foreign ethnic group came to conquer, and therefore it wanted to rape to rule, kill to prevail, and subjugate to dominate.

With the end of the WW2 narrative, the West suffered the worst of all fates, namely it had no idea what comes next.

Half of the population tried to resurrect the dying corpse of the past, but the other half figured it out and moved on, doing its best to reach toward a future, but was hampered by its reliance on past compensatory behaviors like religion and patriotism.

The future lies in rejecting the Napoleonic narrative as well as the democratic one. We embrace nature, most specifically Darwinism, in our urge to find some place where we fit.

Nature says that each ethnic group dwells alone and acts for its own interest. There is no international community, nor any moral absolute.

Instead we go back to the obvious, which is that each civilization survives as a mono-ethnic entity on its own. And with this, the WW2 guilt narrative finally dies.
