Taking Our Own Side
We all have natural partialities: for family over non-kin, friends over strangers, fellow countrymen over foreigners, racial brethren over members of other races. Philosophers from Aristotle to Carl Schmitt have recognized that these partialities are the heart of political life.But most moralists eye these partialities with suspicion. Moral laws, they claim, apply to everyone,...

A Letter from a Grandfather to his Genes, Part 5 (Conclusion)
Read Part 1 here.Read Part 2 here.Read Part 3 here.Read Part 4 here.13. How do you explain the fact that a major football rivalry for Tunisians seems to be with other North Africans, Moroccans, rather than with people more distantly related?Because Morocco is there. Close by. That’s one answer. But this is a frequent phenomenon in sport and is essentially the same issue as in...

Read Part 1 here.Read Part 2 here.Read Part 3 here.11. Doesn’t the success of multiculturalism show that having the same ancestry is not necessary for a harmonious society as long as people do speak a common language? It depends on how much “harmony” you would settle for. To achieve the harmony of an ethnically homogeneous nation, you would need more than just a common...

Read Part 1 here.Read Part 2 here.6. How do we reach reciprocity from “might-makes-right”?The same way it was done in the Wild West. Try to introduce the “rule of law” (a form of reciprocity insofar as it results from social contract, not imposition) and hire good sheriffs who shoot straight—something never appreciated by the outlaws or by governments of powerful...

Read Part 1 here.3. Why aren’t the nearly 100 percent of our genes that everyone shares more important than those few that vary?Indeed, around 99.9 percent of all the genes that a human being carries can be found in all other humans, and 98 percent in chimpanzees. Similar percentages of shared genes are found in most other animal species. So obviously it’s the tiny handful of...

Don’t Eat the Strange Fruit
There has been some discussion on the Internet about the book Strange Fruit: Why Both Sides are Wrong in the Race Debate by South Asian intellectual Kenan Malik, a book in which the work of Frank Salter is sharply critiqued. Now, the person best suited to answer Malik is Salter himself; further, I don’t see Malik introducing any novel arguments beyond that already presented by...

A Critique of Ayn Rand on Race
Today I read Any Rand’s 1963 essay “Racism.” I had read Atlas Shrugged as a teenager. It was a little too absolutist for me but I called myself a libertarian for years afterward and still do to a great extent. I find the argument that the vast majority of what states do is coercion convincing, but I can’t completely accept Rand’s morality. Once a person has...

A Rational and Fact-Based Argument
From The Occidental Observer, December 1, 2009Reading Occidental Dissent, I came across a comment by a so-called “White Advocate” making the following common “argument”:Aside from that, sorry, but if Spaniards, Maltese, Italians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Albanians, Greeks, Georgians and Armenians are considered White, then there is no damn reason why Ashkenazi Jews, or people...
