I believe the scientific method is the best single system for testing what we think we know, and for increasing our overall knowledge in a sustained and systematic way. The scientific method, per se, is a white idea. No analog exists in China, which would be the best candidate for having created something analogous. They invented gunpowder, presumably by accident, a very long time ago, but never did anything with it other than fireworks. They had no systematic method for increasing knowledge, which is why despite their many centuries of cultural superiority, the West overtook them at a very high rate of speed, and never looked back. They are still trying to catch up, in many ways. They have our technology, but not our Liberal systems of government. They inherited, to their great detriment, the Yugo of political philosophies. It doesn’t work, can’t work, at least if the goal is generalized wealth and prosperity, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
This is really where the Left and Right get confused. White people value our Liberal heritage. We value the rule of law, property rights, representative and changeable government, the habit of tolerance, and the habits of hard work and personal integrity without which America would not have succeeded.
I have nothing against Africans, say, or Mexicans, applying to come here legally, using our systems of education and free markets diligently, and succeeding far beyond anything I myself have accomplished. I laud them. Such people are of inestimable value. They bring hunger, ideas, energy. They raise all of us up by reminding us what is possible.
I am not a white supremacist in that sense. I am quite willing to judge people on the content of their characters.
I AM a white supremacist in valuing the system as a whole, as something of intrinsic value, as an engine of felicity which was created by white men, run by white people for a long time, but which will work just as well when you replace the whites with persons of color who THINK the same ways, who also value honesty and hard work, tolerance, the rule of law, and the value of reasoned dialogue.
If we replace our system with that of, say, Mexico or China, everything good we have built goes down the toilet. Both systems are characterized entirely by corruption, lack of opportunity for people who are not born to the right parents, cronyism, human rights abuses, and the generalization of abject poverty which all these practices make inevitable. And, to be sure, racism. Open racism. Party level racism.

And I should not need to tell you about the Chinese abuse of, among others, the Tibetans and the Uighurs. Tibet is not China. It was never China. Chinese fascists have taken a previously poor but happy country and turned its women into whores and its men into beggars. All in the putative name of “Liberation”.
I see all this. It happens that Mexicans are only partly white, but it is the system I condemn. It happens that the Chinese are Asian, but it is the system I condemn. It is not as good as our system, and only a fool, lunatic, or crook could deny it, none of them plausibly.
It is not the white majority we are trying to defend. It is the cultural and political heritage that goes with it. It is this white culture, and this white political heritage–specifically the English and broadly speaking German heritage, which is what I hear implied with the phrase Anglo-Saxon–that we are trying to defend.
Without this heritage, without what white people have built, nobody would want to come here in the first place. Nobody is knocking down the doors of Cuba or even Mexico. Nobody is desperate to get to Brazil or Gambia, or Hungary (well, maybe Hungary), or Cambodia.
Virtually every person on the planet who wants to emigrate anywhere wants to come here. To be sure, the welfare systems of much of Europe are better, so many might, if they were fully informed and had no intention of trying to earn their own living, choose Europe, but anyone who wants to live and breathe free, get a fair shot at making their own way: they all want to come here. And the reason is what white people have built here.
I am proud of this. Justly proud. We have much to celebrate. And our crimes–and they are many–compare accurately with those of the rest of the world across history, with the difference that we CHANGED our ways, we banned slavery–where no one else has–and we have done our best to get rid of oppressive oligarchies, rigged systems, legalized theft, and all of those things that continue to plague most of humanity.
Progress, itself, is a white notion. Nowhere else is there this idea that human life can and should be made better, generation after generation. You won’t find it in any ancient culture. You won’t find it in any tribe in any indigenous people anywhere.
And most ancient cultures valued absolute monotony, absolute consistency. India and China had their versions of the caste system. Egypt by design existed almost solely for the Pharaohs. Everywhere you look, you see kings, some of whom might be good, and some much worse, but nowhere was SOCIETY thought to be capable of evolution. This is a white people idea.
So, in sum, the Left wants people who like our system and our history to be obsessed with the fact that white people created and ran it. Genuine Liberals–so I would style myself–like me want to point not to the whiteness of it, but the JUSTNESS, FAIRNESS, and stability of it. We point to how well it works, and how poorly competing ideas fare in comparison. We want to preserve our borders, to make it so the people voting have shown some respect for our system. We want fiscal restraint, so we do not doom ourselves as so many nations have, through trying to give everyone everything all the time, for too long.
Etc. Our culture has conquered the world. Everyone uses our technology, our ideas, our science, our political language. Where there are planes, trains, and automobiles, that is us. Where people are demanding their “Rights”, that, too is us.
Ponder what has been built. Ponder what can easily be lost, in the entropic tendency of all civilizations.
Rarely, though–I think of no examples–does a successful society seek intentionally to tear itself apart, as the Left is trying to do with the United States, and global freedom generally.
It is insanity. Wahnsinn, as the Germans say.
