“J’attends les Cosaques et le Saint-Esprit.”
-Leon Bloy
Georges Sorel, 1847 - 1922
My talk this evening is about what might be called “the power of myth.”
I refer here not to the Bill Moyers’ program of the same name, but rather to the politics of white racial preservation and specifically to what preservation entails at the deepest level of the human psyche, at that level of primordial symbolical activity which is the realm of myth and epic poetry.
In approaching this subject, let me start with a few words about The Occidental Quarterly, for that’s where the subject begins.
The Quarterly’s project is not about myth per se, but about “metapolitics,” which, though it has a mythic dimension, deals mainly with rationally-examined ideas and values.
What is “metapolitics”?
This is a term you won’t find in the dictionary, and when it enters political discourse its meaning is often unclear.
As I understand the term — and I understand “metapolitics” mainly by analogy — it is to politics as metaphysics is to physics.
What, then, is the relationship of metaphysics to physics?
According to my dictionary, physics is “the science of matter and energy and of the interaction between the two.”
“Metaphysics,” by contrast, is about that which is beyond physics — that is, it’s about the ultimate reality (assuming there is one) upon which the world of energy and matter rests.
Metaphysics, then, studies that which is the basis for the study of physics (whatever that may be).
Now if metapolitics is to politics as metaphysics is to physics, then metapolitics might be defined as that which addresses all those things that make politics possible.
Like the broad sense of metaphysics, metapolitics refers to a number of possible subjects. For example: It can refer to ideology, to culture, to the prevailing conceptual paradigms, to the social hegemonies shaping the political field and framing the way we approach it, it can even refer to the irrational and subliminal forces affecting public behavior.
I can’t give you a precise definition of “metapolitics” (I think none exists), but I can explain something of what metapolitics means to The Occidental Quarterly.
The Quarterly’s subtitle is: “Western Perspectives on Man, Culture, and Politics.”
“Western Perspectives” here means “white” or “European-American” perspectives on man, culture, and politics.
Accordingly, the Quarterly’s metapolitical project examines and entertains ideas of man, culture, and politics from the perspective of what they mean for white men — and by implication what they mean in terms of their fitness, suitability, and adaptability to the politics of white racial preservation.
This metapolitical project is important not simply because ideas, as our conservatives tell us, “have consequences.” But also because we live in an age of inversion, where all the traditional ideas, along with all the traditional values and beliefs, have been subverted and turned against whites.
The Quarterly’s metapolitical project, it follows, is about intellectually arming whites so that, at one level, horizontally, they can collectively orient to the inverted forces threatening them as a people — and that, vertically, they can affirm and assert those ideas and values which are distinct to the European-American spirit.
Yet, despite all this and despite the fact that its metapolitical project addresses the most elemental aspects of our existence, the Quarterly’s focus on ideas, and sometimes high ideas, is of interest, alas, to but a few.
The people as a mass lack any interest in what they see as the unreal, impractical, and often inaccessible realm of ideas.
Whenever they enter the historical arena under the banner of the great social and nationalist movements, they are, for this reason, moved not by ideas, not even by self-interest, but by something else entirely — which has to do with (let’s call it) the mythic core of metapolitics.
Before getting to this, let me just quickly finish what I started to say about The Occidental Quarterly. The writers, activists, and sponsors who support its metapolitical project are not merely interested in understanding and interpreting the inverted world that seeks the destruction of their kind. They would also like to change this world.
The Quarterly’s metapolitical project aims, thus, at putting in motion a movement — in thought, to start — that will lead to the eventual founding of a white ethnostate and, with it, a restoration of the white man’s rightful place in the world — and I don’t mean this in any Hollywood Nazi sense, but rather in terms of a people’s national right to retain the ownership and control of their own lands
If history is any guide, the great transformative movements of the past depended on a variety of subjective and objective factors. Objectively, some sort of crisis of regime has usually been a precondition for setting an oppositional movement in motion; this could entail a crisis of legitimacy or a social or economic breakdown. Such a crisis will not, however, culminate in a revolutionary transformation unless certain subjective forces — in the form of a revolutionary movement — are prepared to exploit the crisis for the movement’s sake. Generally, this entails that a movement possesses both a cadre (capable of leading the movement) and a mass following (that gives the movement’s leadership the social leverage to carry out a revolutionary transformation of the existing system).
The cadre are the active minorities, the militants and intellectuals, who possess the communication and bargaining skills to articulate and define the movement’s cause, who establish the organizations that represent the cause in the real world, and who lay the groundwork that — ideally — will eventually intersect the mobilized masses, whose leadership they aspire to win.
These active minorities are the movement’s brains and hands, for their cultural and organizational activities prepare the way for the movement’s history-changing role.
The Quarterly’s metapolitical project falls within the domain of such activity, which is why it has an important role to play in this period.
But if every great movement is articulated and organized by its active minorities, who constitute, in effect, a potential counter-elite, challenging the ruling elites, its success in the end depends less on the quality of their ideas or even the viability of their organization than on the masses who identify with their struggle and willingly make the sacrifices necessary to realize the movement’s goals.
Indeed, without significant mass support, no revolutionary movement has ever reached its goal.
As one German nationalist put it: “The history of the world is made by [active] minorities only if they embody the will and aspirations of the majority.”
If the heroism and self-sacrifice of the masses have been pivotal to virtually every revolutionary transformation of the modern era — and if these same masses are moved not by ideas or self-interest — how, then, are they to be rallied to the cause of white racial preservation?
One of the great revolutionaries who started us thinking about this question is Georges Sorel, who, not coincidentally, had a major influence on the anti-liberal wing of the labor movement, as well as on the anti-liberal wing of the nationalist movement (and its worth mentioning that the historical synthesis of these two movements — of the revolutionary labor and nationalist movements — in the interwar period [1918 - 1939] led directly to the emergence of Fascism, National Socialism, and other anti-liberal Third Way tendencies representing the historical high-water mark of revolutionary nationalism).
The motive force behind mass movements, Sorel saw, cannot be explained, as liberals and Marxists do, in terms of rationalist, pragmatic, materialist, or self-interested factors — for the masses making up a social movement do not behave like liberalism’s Economic Man. Sorel, in fact, saw excessive rationalism as both a source and a symptom of contemporary decadence.
The bonds that tie men to reality and compel them to act are rarely based on cold reason or calculation. The human intellect, especially its rationalist mode, is simply part of a larger human consciousness — a consciousness synonymous not just with man’s reasoning mind, but more fundamentally with his life as a social, moral being. At this level, the consciousness that motivates collective behavior is “irrational” to the degree that it is dictated not by self-interest and calculation, but by more elemental passions associated with the world of the great masses.
Reason, self-interest, and other such factors may, of course, motivate reform and self-improvement and every social system depends on them, but these factors never propel men into battle at the risk of life and limb, they never cause a people to go beyond the bounds of reasonable considerations, to shun their narrow egoism, and to take risks that challenge the prevailing state of things.
Something more primordial is always at work whenever the masses enter the historical arena.
For Sorel, a people assumes a historical role only when they are seized by an enthralling myth, whose symbols embody both their conscious and unconscious worldview and accords with their moral and ethical judgments about what’s fair or just. Myth, as such, forms communities of like-minded people and thus a sense of solidarity, just as the heroic sensibility it fosters makes possible the social and moral renewal that’s part of every revolutionary transformation.
“As long as there are no myths accepted by the masses,” Sorel writes, “one may go on talking of revolt indefinitely, without provoking any revolutionary movement.”
In Sorel’s view, myth is that “body of images which, by intuition alone,” is “capable of evoking . . . the sentiments which corresponds to the different manifestations” of a people’s distinct spirit, as this people struggles to assert itself as a specific life form.
Myth thus translates a people’s hopes and needs into their own idiom and feeds these hopes and needs back to them in ways that render them plausible and attractive.
Myth, in this Sorelian sense, grows out of the unmediated life of those who come to believe it.
Born, thus, from a people’s sense of itself, myth creates not just a sense of mission, but the courage to act — as a self-conscious, self-asserting life force.
In this way, it serves as an assertion of a people’s will, the projection or the imagining of an alternative life that appeals to what is best in the spirit of their kind.
The myth can be about the Second Coming of Christ or about the General Strike of the syndicalists. What’s important is that the myth condenses and amalgamates the beliefs of its believers into a single compelling image that overwhelms every category opposing it.
As an unconscious but compelling life force, myth justifies a people, it explains why they differ from other people, it affirms them in their right to assert themselves as who they are, it defines them and their friends, just as it distinguishes them from their enemies. One might even follow Schelling in believing that myth is what founds a people as a community of consciousness.
Because it arises from a people’s conviction and experience (some of which go back to Homer), it has nothing to do with Utopian or ideological plans for what should be or can be.
Myth is indeed not a description of things or a rational alternative to the present, but an expression of a determination to act.
To use a religious term (though it is not necessarily about religion), myth has an eschatological role to play, for it refers to the Final Days, to “ultimate and last things,” or to that coming catastrophic collision between the forces of good and evil.
Given its eschatological role, myth, ultimately, is a matter of faith — the faith of those who believe that no matter how grim or disappointing the present may be, their cause and their kind are bound to triumph once the moment of decision strikes — because their cause and their kind await a higher destiny than the negative one that their enemies would have them follow.
This heroic and self-confident faith is what imbues the myth’s believers with the willingness to make great sacrifices, even to die, for their beliefs — these same people who would normally never go out of their way for an idea, a political project, or a theory.
Those in the grip of a great myth — Irish nationalists in communion with Pearse’s Blood Sacrifice, sixteenth-century Calvinists convinced of their Predestination — such peoples, through the force that myth exerts on their character, acquire the power to make history.
But lacking such a captivating myth, there can be no history-changing movement.
In this context, The Occidental Quarterly may play a role in educating active minorities in the tradition they inherit, which is crucial to any future organization or tendency representing the white nationalist movement, but without the simultaneous spread of a myth that grips the white masses and instills in them a sense of historical meaning, there will be no National Revolution to liberate white America.
At this point, the question inevitably arises: What myth could possibly capture the imagination of the white masses and instill in them the enthusiasm for a white homeland?
Unfortunately, there’s no way to know. A myth cannot be rationally constructed and imposed on a people.
It cannot even become self-conscious, for once it is seen as a myth it ceases to work.
By nature, a myth grows out of a people’s life and speaks to the sense they have of themselves.
But after saying this, I nevertheless think it’s safe to claim that the white nationalist myth will have little to do with IQ scores, black crime rates, Jewish malfeasance, or the superiority of European culture (though it will likely have a lot to do with the anti-white practices that have come with the colored invasion of white lands). To the degree any of these issues have the capacity to move the white masses, I suspect it will be in conjunction with whatever myth ends up capturing their imagination. For however important, these things in themselves are not the stuff of myth.
No one can predict, then, what the founding myth of a white nationalist movement will be.
But speaking personally, I know that I myself am already in the grips of a powerful myth — the myth of what I call the White Republic.
Other possible myths probably exist or will come to exist.
But for me it’s the White Republic that evokes the total captivating image of what we are about as a movement.
I recently wrote: “The prospect of an independent white homeland in North America, free of the US government, with its colored multitudes and parasitic institutions: This one image says everything, explains everything, promises everything.”
Why? Because the myth of a White Republic means secession from the United States. It implies, as such, an all-white national community, which, in turn, would mean a total rejection of the blood-sucking system of cultural-racial chaos that shames us and causes us to hate the world in which we have to live.
At the same time, the myth of a White Republic implies an end to miscegenation, to affirmative action, to the rising tide of color. But above all, the image of the White Republic implies a regeneration of our people, reborn on the basis of principles of self-assertion, self-interest, self-determination, and sovereignty.
I believe all these implications, which the image of a White Republic awakens in us, are the stuff of myth, for, in my mind at least, its image says everything, explains everything, promises everything.
The Occidental Quarterly will continue, of course, to validate the truths that inspire the white nationalist project, the truths whose criterion is life, not bloodless reason. But what we white nationalists await most impatiently is the moment when our people begin to take inspiration from their own myths.
For if white men should ever again come to believe in themselves and their myths, then, at that point, all the diseased and contemptible human offshoots of late twentieth-century American barbarism, whose culminating abomination is the existing anti-white System, will at last be forced, as the wheel of history turns, to flee in fear of their lives.
It is images of this sort, I believe, that will shape the white nationalist myth.

Cultures, just as those of the animal kingdom, have these feelings of primacy, territory,and needs inherent in each; all, in turn, following nature’s perfect order and design. The primacy of each recurrent culture in history is apparent. It feels the need of its particular group, manifested in its race-culture, its cultural soul. Nevertheless, so also the culture developing beside it, which is to say, any contemporary parallel culture existing alongside each other. Here, then, we have a contest, a nature imperative which, the Modern, has not accepted. It is held with contempt, ridicule, and distaste. However, there is an intruder-man and a territorial-man, a duality, which has always existed; will always exist.Vibrant, young, and healthy cultures do not feel repelled by this natural phenomenon, but attack it; they bask in its fraternity with this ever-revolving cycle: One dies, one survives.The Nationalist has evoked these same types of opposing antagonisms simply because the Modern has led us to believe that this very nationalism (i.e., territorial imperative) breeds dissension, mistrust, and global conflict. But does it? The fact that nature is replete withthis natural contest of wills over such areas as territory is beyond the Modern; it is notpart of his blood, of his presence. He is civilized. This, then, too, is the meaning of decadence: It is the disintegration of that particular and personal [will-to-power] presence that surrounds us.
The will-to-power, as Nietzsche put it, is that which is behind all the building momentum of a fledgling culture and its many diverse and numerous prime symbols that synthesizeits external technics, which is to say, its various forms of government, art, language, religion, science and, ultimately, its method of warfare and the type of man thataccompanies its fighting spirit. It will always accept its warriors.
The higher-culture, the race, is but the flicker of a morbid ego without the momentum of the warrior; it is he, truly, which acts out, and feels the soul of the culture.
The abiding truth in everything that has gone before in history is that people, the race-culture, has been the very foundation of all higher-culture. It is not its technics, for this is simply manifestation, but it is ever anon blood and bone. It is practical, the obvious, that makes us nod and gesture about this or that description of a particular nation and its people. The ‘essence’ which has been imbued into a place, a ‘territory’, that which has invoked a particular presence, has been, as always that ‘flesh and bone’ which has inhabited and held a defined territory. It is this ‘area’ specifically, in which the ‘collective group’, the race-culture, calls their own.
This is Homeland, fatherland, motherland;whatever the regional designation.
A tribe of Scythian nomads, or a fertile city-state of the Attica peninsula could very well inhabit this area; it could be the empire of Charlemagne and Pippin; it could be the continent of North America. But each had, had to have, a place where the god’s could protect them. A place were each body of water held some kind of picture, a mystical place perhaps, surrounded by mountains, trees, theblue canopy of heaven. A place where one could remember the closeness of family,grandparents, and siblings. Places where growing pains of childhood remain with one for one’s entire life; inextricably bound with the memories of a ‘place’, a time, a territory.
We know, however, that as long as the earth has sustained a human organism, such as family or tribe, people have congregated; they have held possessions in common; they have made war, they have made peace, but have done so as individual ‘united’ units. Mankind has always confined himself to specific localities, with their distinctive habits and form, colour, social relations and religions. For this very reason, the collective body has always enacted some form of control over each other for the benefit of the whole.
Scientific study has shown that ‘space’ resides in the mind of man. Nature, as an abstract, does not have boundaries or territory; it is the unique animal, including man, which creates in his mind what boundaries he is to have, or accept. Studies also show that ‘confined’ space leads inexorably to a limited population,not food supply as Malthus indicated. If this were accepted by academics today, the Nationalistic xenophobia experienced by liberal bigots would show the weakness of their case concerning ‘internationalism’ as the sole means by which population would then be controlled by their ‘social mores’ being implemented on a worldwide scale; this would also include their insane efforts at population control –which effects the Western with far more brutal ramifications than those of the third-world. In a normal setting and with normal national boundaries the ‘human-race’ would naturally gravitate to a more or less standard population size and dynamic, coupled with the natural tendency to fear the ‘outsider’ would maintain the necessary equilibrium requisite to any and all race-cultures. The basic ‘intra-national’ problems which inevitably will arise is a natural part of that particular race – and should not be interfered with by altruistic ‘do-gooders’ such as in Africa; for as much as Western philanthropists have attempted to create a National State, they failed to comprehend the dynamics of the herd, and sub-herd evidence in all organisms – that of Language, Tribal Allegiance, Religion, and the like which must take its own course inFederalism 101, such as this western Colony had to do in our infancy – something that is still in the process of its own evolution.
The Celto-Nordic ideal of early America is now replaced with the ebony hue of the African. To the twisted understanding of ‘ethnicity’, as opposed to race, and the forced acceptance of a serious loss of territory for the men and women of the West (yes, this means here in America!) both politically and geographically to foreign race-cultures, this has spelled defeat; it is decay.
Otto von Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor of Germany, remarked of the latter, “A nation that voluntarily surrenders territory is a nation in decay.” In other words, a People whodoes not show the strength to hold a territory deserves neither land nor freedom. This mayalso be a naïve form of federalism, but it speaks well of that organic process by which a people rise or fall.
The Nationalist, in a pure sense, does not concern himself with territories outside his own national boundaries, or racial technics. His concern is for his Nation; not someinternational, money orientated ‘world order’ such as the Modern aspires too. The Nationalist is not a Colonialist, such as is the British legacy. He, the nationalist, is ever concerned with his environment, his domestic governmental policies, his family, and hisroot and stock. This leads, inevitably, to the tendency of separateness, of the Separatist and his related movements.
Central to the idea of State, is the idea of Nation. The difference here, as seen by all nationalists, whatever the race-culture, is that nation is race. In all areas of America, one sees this reality. The so-called mestizo-Hispanic ‘movement’, calls for an independent mestizo nation of Aztlan; Louis Farrakhan teaches the belief in The Nation of Islam which would provide for the independence and direction of the majority of the black race.
This is seen, also, in the manifestations of the Western culture as well – Robert J. Mathews, the white nationalist revolutionary leader killed, in the prime of life, by federal military detachments in the Pacific Northwest, for organizing a White American Bastion in which, as he and others saw it, the sons and daughters of Western kind could come and live, set up a government, and fulfill the destiny each felt was to their own making; this,because in the present system, it is unacceptable to practice one’s faith in a congregation of one’s own kind, to promote and actively live in a community which is, for all to see, made up of persons who belong to one’s ethnic bloc. This was, in short, a Territorial Imperative in the northwestern United States, and is still a bone of contention within the nationalist communities in this country and the federal government.
As the conservative elements in the existing governmental technic become ever more disgusted with the ways things are turning out, the more the chances between the nationalist and conservative elements fielding a political candidate become acceptable. This may, or may not, cover the issue of separation. But, if the minority ‘separatist’ movements, as said before, continue to press for the recognition of ‘their rights’, and ultimately they will, if they have the will to suffer for it, those of the West will be sure to follow in the same fashion.If the converse is true, that is, that the West breaks away from the ‘federal state’, the minority race-culture will, without a doubt, have their issues discussed as a matter of course.
A White Republic…it is a matter of necessity; it is a matter of Survival.
White Survival wrote:
“humanely yet forcefully dealing with the various mongrels and half-breeds living in our midst, showing no mercy and giving no quarter”
Could you please explain how you “humanely” show “no mercy”?
There are so many good things to say about this piece and about the comments as well.
But I have to say that it amazes me how people go on about our population dipping below 7% in the world (though we’re still around 70% in the USA and about 100% in Russia) as if THAT alone is the problem. And then, without skipping a beat, they go on about how Jews, who are less than 2% of the USA population, and even less in the World, are largely responsible for all of this.
So if Jews can be so influential, and they certainly have been, it has to do with the concentration of their effort, not their numbers, obviously.
No, the problem is us. It is one of those unpleasant facts that is so distressing and depressing it makes those of us who care swoon. It is awesome in its implications, which are nothing short of terrifying.
The other side is not going to win, of that I am certain. Simply because when it comes to the all important question of how they are all going to live together they haven’t come up with one new idea – not one.
The ideas they are using are ours – and a bad version of ours, of course – when they are not ours they are deluded a priori fantasies; nightmares that have become daymares wherever they have been tried, as a glance at the 20th century makes perfectly obvious.
We are not organized for a number of reasons – and those reasons will have to be worked out and explained before a myth will appear; simply because the myth or organizing principle will have to emerge out of a complete, a full, awareness of our situation as experienced first hand by the genuis (and it’s going to take a genius) who is going to create such a myth.
“The Hero of a Thousand Faces”
I’ve only read snippets of Campbell but I was thinking about a concept that might be described similarly, what I would have called the “I am Spartacus” meme. The hero may fall, but two will rise in his place, etc.
Braveheart does this, with Robert the Bruce taking the place of William Wallace.
Braveheart and 300 come to mind for some reason…
Brilliant essay Mr. O’Meara, just brilliant. Profound. Thank you.
I had a couple of quick thoughts in response:
Why? [...]
The Occidental Quarterly will continue, of course, to validate the truths that inspire the white nationalist project, the truths whose criterion is life, not bloodless reason. But what we white nationalists await most impatiently is the moment when our people begin to take inspiration from their own myths.
The peoples of the world must be free from genocide, be it swift and loud or slow and quiet; if European men fail to secure their own freedom from genocide, then the efforts of all other men, be they Jews in Israel or blacks in Africa or yellows in Asia, to do the same are doomed to failure. European man’s struggle for freedom and sovereignty is that of every human being on Earth.
We have work to do. European man’s destiny is to take the human race to the stars, but we can’t do this until we get our house in order. Otherwise civilization will collapse and mankind will be thrown into a dark age.
TYPO in sentence: “Finally an awakening when day breaks over the White world…the gleaming White has finally arisen”
SHOULD READ: “Finally an awakening when day breaks over the White world…the gleaming White SUN has finally arisen…”
I look back and I see my father before me . . . and his father before him . . . and so on back into the mists of time. I look ahead and see my children . . . my children’s children . . . and so on until the end of time. The White Republic comes!
I agree with the other commenters here that this is a superb piece and I’m sure it was a powerful address.
The phrase “white racial preservation” was repeated quite a few times throughout this piece, and I’m supremely glad you all at The Occidental Quarterly have picked up on this meme.
I’ve been tirelessly repeating this exact point on every pro-White website/blog I frequent, that point being (as you wrote) “White racial preservation” — to describe it in other ways: “White genetic continuity,” “the long-term preservation of the White race,” “permanently securing White racial territory against non-White encroachment,” “White preservationism,” and of course “WHITE SURVIVAL.”
The myth of the ‘White Republic’ as described here in this piece is indeed a powerful myth, and I commend it as well as share your vision. However, if I may be so forward as to take it one step further and suggest a myth that’s been milling about in my consciousness that may be able to capture the hearts/minds of many Whites worldwide . . . it’s simple, and I’ve already written it: WHITE SURVIVAL.
The WHITE SURVIVAL myth, hopefully soon to become reality, of Whites struggling to survive and preserve themselves (racially/genetically, culturally, etc) against the nearly overwhelming tide of non-Whiteness that’s currently invading /flooding our lands and seeking to usurp our territory, the non-Whites who seek to claim our White women as their own, and steal away our resources that were gained with the White blood of our heroic White ancestors (blood which still flows through our veins).
The myth of WHITE SURVIVAL: heroic Whites managing to hold out against crushing odds and abhorrent conditions, standing firm out against the 5+ billion-strong colored onslaught that has been unleashed against us, beaten down and ragged at present, made tired and haggard by decades of dispossession, bullied and browbeaten and slandered by so many, constantly mislead and manipulated and ripped-off by an internationally-organized Jewish/Semitic/Asiatic hostile elite that seeks our permanent extinction/mongrelization, being discriminated against in our own countries (the countries we Whites founded/settled/built), and being replaced by racial inferiors in our own lands . . . Whites as cornered, trapped, backed up against a wall (there can be no more retreating from non-White encroachment, no more ‘White flight’)…picture in your mind’s eye the Northern Europeans of yore being pushed to back to the Northwestern extremities of Europe by the numerous Asiatic invasions which occurred during the medieval period and before (trapped by the sea at their backs: no fleeing, no escaping, they could only stand and fight to preserve their Whiteness against the Asiatic onslaught) . . . also, heroic WHITE SURVIVALISTS and WHITE PIONEERS as the last holdouts in the Alamo, facing a colored mass that seeks to exterminate us. (NOTE: this is actually rapidly coming true: according to United Nations [medium] estimates, Europe’s share of the overall world population may fall to about 7% in 2050 . . . and of course it is also said that America will dip below 50% White in less than five decades; in short, we are being racially besieged on all sides and by all groups, this is the stark reality and NOT just an alarmist fantasy)
The myth of WHITE SURVIVAL: Whites heroically and triumphantly rallying just as the clock is about to strike midnight to reclaim our White lands and our eternal White blood heritage as our ours and ours alone, working collaboratively to push back the non-White invaders on all sides, thus permanently securing ALL of the White racial territory we’ve ever conquered in history as ours forever, as well as mustering up the strength and collective intelligence to contain/quarantine the worldwide Jewish menace and uniting permanently as a cohesive racial collective to forever prevent the current ‘colored catastrophe’ from ever occurring again, humanely yet forcefully dealing with the various mongrels and half-breeds living in our midst, showing no mercy and giving no quarter to our mythical vision of WHITE SURVIVAL yet also staying flexible enough to bend a bit with the prevailing winds so as not to snap and break (our raw emotion/irrational energy [White heart] must always remain tempered by cold/hard logic and reason [White head]), building the White bulwark up so high that the non-White tide can never again wash in to our lands, immunizing ourselves against the Jewish/Semitic/Asiatic plague, reaffirming White racial solidarity now and forever, PERMANENT WHITE PRESERVATION AND WHITE SURVIVAL, the White blood-bond never again shattered or broken, not even frayed. Finally an awakening when day breaks over the White world…the gleaming White has finally arisen – the racial nightmare of White extinction ends and the dark night of world racial-chaos finally is banished.
This glorious myth (hopefully eventual reality) would also mean the founding of numerous ‘White Republics’ all over the world…likely multiple ones in the USA/Canada alone, as well as a needed racial reordering of Europe . . . White Republics for the various Nordic strains, for Alpines, for Slavs, for Balts, for the Mediterranean Whites and Southern Euro Whites, etc. . . . a PAN-WHITE ALLIANCE eternally bound by our common blood heritage, a PAN-WHITE BLOOD-BOND of shared racial origins and shared genetic goals that would easily trump all other petty economic, political, religious, and/or other socio-cultural differences, opinions, and concerns.
That is my mythic vision. I hope that all reading it will also find some mythical inspiration in it.
I concur that this is the finest piece yet published on TOQ. I hope Dr. O’Meara can expound on his points for a longer article in TOQ — the print edition. Perhaps throwing in some Joseph Campbell and his ideas from “The Hero of a Thousand Faces”, and discussing how myths form and take hold.
White people will need a new myth. Arthur Kemp, in his collection of essays about Apartheid, discussed the possibility of a great trek for whites to undertake at some point, pursuing land for our continuation and survival.
Before that can take place, white people need an enduring new myth.
Fantastic commentary! Probably the best thing that I’ve read on TOQ online to date.
