Metapolitics as masturbation |
This is quite a claim, isn't it? Because even a broken clock that has been smashed into pieces, set on fire, and thrown into a quarry still has bits that point in the general direction of Time. How is it possible for the Alt-Right to be even wronger than that?
When you react in this piss-poor way, you effectively "bounce off" the data and end up going off in emotional tangents, which, more often than not, lead you to some very retarded places. Everything becomes wrong because thoughts are perceived through feelz rather than brainz.
With emotion, as the British once understood, less is more, a lot more.
Data: White Western fertility rates are under 1.5.
In short, what we get is an emotional crapstorm that goes nowhere, wastes energy, creates a stink, and spawns a load of cheap grudges. It also works as a self-ghettoisation device, meaning that the critique implicit in the data is walled off from the rest of society.
<1.5 fertility is a genocidal figure, as it means that each generation is less than 75% the size of the previous one. This is something that, on its own, even blasé Leftists and anyone with any sense of objectivity should be concerned about, including those who think the World is overcrowded. Indeed, they probably would be—if they hadn't seen who was talking about it in the social media psych-wing. Yes, the Alt-Right.
Whatever trite expression they use to justify mass immigration—e.g. "diversity is our strength," "a wonderful range of restaurants," "hideous whiteness," "rub their faces in it," etc.—it is essentially a "top up" for a society that can't replace its working parts adequately from its own reproductive organs. And part of the reason it can't do this is because the Alt-Right—and before it various forms of Nationalism and White nationalism—have all failed. And they have failed because they have made it all about the feelz.
Because the Alt-Right (and much of the Dissident Right) struggles to embrace modernity, it is condemned to react to it in an over-emotional way, and, in the process, make modernity even worse. Its data is often sound, but its emotional incontinence toxifies the insights implicit the data for the rest of society.
Crude hatred of the immigrant, who is, more often than not, someone struggling to work hard and fit in, combined with pathetic simping for the feminism-corrupted White woman, and the usual scapegoating of the mythical "Super Jew" have become the full spectrum of the Alt-Right's teary and hysterical response to low Western fertility and the Death of the West.
Yes, the basic facts, the numbers, and much of the data are all good and solid, but, like a rubber ball, the Alt-Righter merely bounces off this factual level, right up into the death zone of emotional incontinence, screeching like a departing Doppler effect as he does so—no threat to anybody and no help to himself or his race.
