AVENGERS: THE CHRISTIAN CULTURIST REVIEW

by John K. Press
@culturist

Avengers: Infinity War is so unaware that it is a Christian film, that it takes a swipe at Christianity. And, it's our fault. Here is the plot of Avengers: Infinity War:

ANTHONY D. SMITH: CULTURIST HERO


Anthony D. Smith (1939-2016) is a culturist hero.  Alongside, Samuel P. Huntington  (1927 – 2008), Smith inspired me as I wrote ‘Culturism,’ in 2006.  Many will recognize Harvard’s Huntington for his having created the ‘Clash of Civilizations’ model. But, though he taught at the London School of Economics, very few know about or appreciate Smith’s ‘ethno-symbolism’ model of nationalism.

CULTURIST LESSONS FROM WHINING BLACK ATHLETES


Studying black athletes’ recent ‘take a knee’ campaign can help us ‘take back our country.’ But, only if we heed the five vital culturist lessons they teach us:

1. Black athletes give us a way to taunt black men generally. As detailed in my infamous “Grab ‘em by the @&#%” music video, on the court black athletes claim to be tough guys.  Determined to win, they ‘man up’ and make no excuses. But, off the court, they whine, “We can’t compete due to waaaaycism. Someone said a hurty word, so I can’t achieve! It’s not faiwwr. Waaaa!!” We have to tell them, “Black (so-called) men, stop crying like sissy-assed bitches and man up like you do in sports!!”

DISSIDENT DISPATCHES: THE CULTURIST REVIEW



When, at the 2017 American Renaissance Conference, Arktos’ CEO announced they had published a book about Christianity, I cheered. I have long complained of Arktos’ focus on neo-paganism. We need to save the West! Christianity is already nominally adhered to in the West and has a pervasive infrastructure. As such, I’ve argued that Arktos needs to promote the idea of Christendom. In Andrew Fraser’s, “Dissident Dispatches: An Alt-Right Guide to Christian Theology,” Arktos has produced a ground-breaking and important culturist Christian tome.

IMAGINED SOCIETIES: THE CULTURIST REVIEW



Occasionally, I google the words ‘culturism’ and ‘culturist,’ to make sure I’m still on the first page of search results. Recently, Willem Schinkel’s book, ‘Imagined Societies: A Critique of Immigrant Immigration in Western Europe,’ appeared in my search. Why?

It has an entire chapter on the ‘Rise of Culturism’! But, oddly, Schinkel’s book never references me, my book entitled ‘Culturism,’ or my decade of articles on the topic.

A PARADOXICAL ALLIANCE: THE CULTURIST REVIEW


In 2012, Jack Buckby emailed me, (as the author of the book Culturism: A Word, A Value, Our Future), to inform me he had started a group called ‘The National Culturists’ at The University of Liverpool, where he studied Political Science.   I was elated.  I had long thought that the meme ‘culturist’ could help us retake universities, and it was happening.

AN OUTLINE OF CULTURIST POLICY (PART FOUR):CULTURIST PROFILING


Introduction

Our police, airports, employers, anti-terror units and immigration officers need to engage in culturist profiling.  But, they cannot do so because multiculturalists have convinced America that discussing negative aspects of cultural diversity is ‘racist.’ While race may increase predispositions to certain behaviors, culture regulates their expression.  For example, as black two–parent families have been ruined by the welfare state, the black crime rate has risen enormously.

Absolute Culturist, Pragmatic Culturist, & Racist Repatriation

There are three approaches to repatriation: ‘racist,’ 'absolute culturist,' and 'pragmatic culturist.' Both absolute and pragmatic culturists would immediately stop all Islamic immigration to the West, but differ on repatriation policy.

Racist repatriation policy

‘Racist repatriation’ policy gets mentioned only to highlight its vast difference from both forms of culturist repatriation.

Racist repatriation would remove all non-white people from Western nations. Such a policy would never be approved via election. And, in a multi-ethnic nation like the United States, especially given the fact that much of our military and police force are not white, attempts to implement this policy could lead to society violently collapsing.

Absolute culturist repatriation policy

‘Absolute culturists’ want the immediate repatriation of all Muslims back to their countries of origin.

Note how much subtler absolute culturist repatriation is than racist repatriation. It does not cast Hindus, Asians, Mexican and all Africans into the same net. It makes subtle distinctions based on history and belief systems: it is culturist, not racist.

However, absolute culturist repatriation suffers from the same potential for civil unrest as the racist repatriation position.

Furthermore, and importantly, the rule of law is central to western identity. If we violate the rights of citizens, we undermine order in society.

However, absolute culturist repatriation policy would have the benefit of quickly ending the threat of Jihad in the West.

Pragmatic culturist repatriation policy

Instead of the ‘absolute culturist’ repatriation policy of deporting all Muslims, ‘pragmatic repatriation policy’ would review Muslims’ naturalization.

In the U.S. naturalization proceedings, the potential new citizen swears, "that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Furthermore, they "absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty."

Naturalized citizens who have supported ISIS or Al Qaeda have committed fraud, rendering their naturalization null and void, justifying their repatriation.

Furthermore, any naturalized citizens who donated to or actively participated in a mosque that promotes Sharia or any other anti-Western values, (FGM or hijabs or polygamy, for example) may merit repatriation.

Such a policy targets hostile Muslims while protecting the rights of those willing to assimilate.

Such pragmatic repatriation programs, (in conjunction with ending the foreign funding of mosques and culturist school curriculum – discussed elsewhere), can minimize the risk of Jihad without absolute culturist repatriation’s rights violations or potential violence.

Conclusion

Stopping Islamic immigration does not violate anyone’s constitutional rights.  Our Constitution applies to US citizens, not foreigners.

Domestically, repatriation laws can pass Constitutional scrutiny in two ways: (1) by remembering it is the separation of Church and State, not Mosque and State, (2) by classifying Islam as a political ideology.

Ultimately, culturism means officially recognizing our traditional majority culture, its legal standing and the State’s interest in protecting it.  Leaving multiculturalism for culturism will rationally justify culturist immigration and repatriation laws.

Circumstances seem to be swaying culturists from being ‘pragmatic’ to being ‘absolute.’  But, those moving in this direction must consider the violence this could entail, and so should not do so lightly.

AN OUTLINE OF CULTURIST POLICY: PART TWO


The 2nd of 8 WEEKLY OUTLINES OF CULTURIST POLICY


Culturism (cǔl-chər-ǐz-əm) n. The use of philosophy, art, governance policy and science to honor, promote, manage and protect traditional majority cultures. 
Culturist (cǔl-chər-ǐst) n. 1. An advocate of culturism. 2. One who engages in the philosophy, arts, policy creation and sciences that promote, protect and manage traditional majority cultures. 3. Adj. Of or pertaining to culturism, culturists or culturist policy.
--------
This is the second of a weekly, 8-part review of culturist policies. The series will become a short e-book. Any feedback you could provide in terms of ideas or presentation would be appreciated.

Culturist Epistemology

Culture is not metaphysical; ultimately, it exists in heads and institutions.  You need land to grow food in order to support the heads in which culture exists.  With no food, no heads; with no heads, no culture.  When a Muslim immigrates, the very space he occupies is a Muslim space.  When your town has a Hindu temple, that space is necessarily no longer a Western space. No ‘western essence’ permeates Muslim no-go zones; that space is no longer western.
Defensive Culturist Word Use

If the West falls, neither China nor Iran will promote ‘human rights;’ ‘human rights’ will cease to exist. To protect so - called ‘human rights’ we must protect western territory and solvency.

Accordingly, it is best to call so-called ‘human rights,’ ‘western rights.’  This will remind us that when we defend the West we defend the only culture that promotes rights.  That’s why, truly, western culturism is the new liberalism.

Offensive Culturist Word Use

Cultural diversity being real dooms attempts to militarily force Muslim nations to adopt Western values and institutions.  Therefore, (when not punishing them for terrorist acts), culturism advocates keeping our military out of Muslim nations.

But, verbally, we can weaken Muslim governments by degrading their values in comparison with the ‘western rights’ model.  For example, we should ruthlessly mock Iran’s theocratic government and backwards women’s rights agenda.

Yet, Iran is not our concern.  Reifying western pride and identity is the real goal of mocking Islam’s overall stupid brutality.  Cultural identity is usually bolstered via contrast with a hated other.  Islam is, particularly, suited to make the West look distinct and noble.

While culturism involves battles for land, might and economies that can sustain heads, ultimately culturists must battle for the cultural assumptions in those heads.

Culturist rights and refugees

We often hear that ‘individual rights’ trump ‘culturist rights;’ That is, if we enforce our immigration laws, a teen and her illegal mother might be separated. Individual rights do not automatically trump the West’s culturist right to have a border.

Muslim nations don't take in Christian refugees. China takes no refugees. Just like the Asian and Muslim realms, the West has culturist rights.  So-called, ‘human rights’ do not trump the West’s culturist right to sovereignty.

The culturist programming of youth is not difficult. Changing adult’s views is nearly impossible. Culture is made up of populations who identify with it.  Rejecting the millions of incoming ‘refugees,’ because they harbor hostile ideology, is a defensible policy position.

All Muslim ‘refugees’ must be preemptively directed to a nation state in the Islamic world.

End foreign mosque funding

The foreign funding of mosques in the West must be stopped. To do this, philosophically, we must reject multiculturalism and embrace the culturist idea that the West has a unique civilization to protect and that Islam is the West’s traditional enemy.
To make this legal, we can note that the separation of Church and State says nothing of Mosque and State.

More realistically, in America, the Foreign Agent Registration Act allows us to register foreign agents’ and stop their funds from being used for domestic propaganda.  To apply this law, we must classify Islam as the political ideology of an enemy, which it is.

Ending the foreign funding of mosques does not prohibit local citizens from funding and building their own mosques.

Western rights belong to westerners individually and collectively: our Constitutional guarantee of free speech does not grant Saudi Arabia the right to build mosques in the West.  Our not being able to build churches in Saudi Arabia confirms that ‘culturist rights’ do exist.

Conclusion

China’s racist immigration laws protect their national identity.  Saudi Arabia’s culturist immigration laws protect theirs.  The West is not a culturally neutral ‘human’ globalist space.  The West has a specific culture and the right to have culturist laws that protect our culture.

The phrase ‘human rights’ is most frequently used in order to corrode western sovereignty. To win the rhetorical battle we must correctly call so-called, ‘human rights’ what they are: ‘western rights.’

BOWIE: THE CULTURIST REVIEW



To make a culturist critique is to tie an event or person to larger cultural trends. David Bowie (1947-2016) symbolizes the West’s recent progressive cultural apex. After all, he led the charge into gender bending and then married a black Muslim woman. But, these acts stand in stark contrast to the West’s developing tsunami of masculine cultural protectionism.

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888) – the first person to be called a ‘culturist’ practicing ‘culturism,’ – asserted that the West cycled from expansionist, flexible, (progressive) ‘Hellenism’ to contracting, law-abiding, tough, ‘Hebraism.’ The Hellenic periods lack discipline, the Hebraic ones lack ‘sweetness and light.’ In his time, Arnold saw his England as being too Hebraic and France as too Hellenistic.

We in the Alt-Lite / Alt-Right fringe, foresee a coming reckoning that may involve considerable violence. Currently, the West is experiencing a Hellenic peak; soon we will adopt the Hebraic traits of hating foreign cultures, and again accept that successful cultures usually see violence as an honorable duty. Bowie’s death represents the death of the expansionist Hellenic period, and so the dawn of the Hebraic contraction.

AN ACADEMIC BOOK RECOMMENDS WAR IN EUROPE

 

Peter Turchin’s, Ultrasociety: How 10,000 Years of War Made Humans the Greatest Cooperators on Earth, necessarily implies that the West needs a popular war within or near its borders. He reluctantly confesses, “A reactionary catchphrase of the 1970s used to go, “what this generation needs is a war,” a deplorable sentiment but one that in terms of cultural evolution might sometimes have a germ of cold logic.”[i]

'CULTURIST' DR. JOHN PRESS - THE ROBERT STARK INTERVIEW


As I have been traveling, it has been 20 days since Robert Stark and Pilleater interviewed me.  But, as Trump still refuses to touch culture, the issues herein remain fresh.  My Grab 'Em by the Pussy song, race, and the Alt-Right Ethno-Nationalist state are among the other issues discussed.

TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY: THE CULTURIST CRITIQUE



You might remember my video about Trump being neither Alt-Right or Alt-Light (see below). Trump, I argued, is not Alt-Right because he is not racist. I have never heard him utter a thing about IQ or race or use the word ‘White.’ Actually, my video continues, Trump is not even Alt-Light, because he is not even consistently culturist. For example, Trump never criticizes Islam's intrinsic dangers or the inner-city ‘thug’ culture. 

Trump is neither racist nor culturist, Alt-Right nor Alt-Light. This very failing, that I pointed out in the video, is beginning to haunt Trump’s presidency. He needs to adopt a consistent culturist perspective if he wishes to succeed in reaching his policy objectives.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS of PROPAGANDA: THE CULTURIST REVIEW

by Brian Anse Patrick
Arktos Publishing
204 pages

Reviewed by
John K. Press

I love the opening lines of Brian Anse Patrick’s book, The Ten Commandments of Propaganda. Published by Arktos, the book immediately tells the reader they’ve already been propagandized via the author evoking the Biblical Ten Commandments. Effective propaganda, Patrick explains, draws upon collective cultural memory.  His book is full of platitudes we really need to hear if we’re to be successful culturists and end multiculturalism.

CULTURIST ART CRITICISM AND THE SALVATION OF THE WEST

The Last Judgement

by John K. Press

Twenty-five years ago Camille Paglia cured me of veganism.  Her amazing art history book, Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertitti to Emily Dickinson, argued that art criticism needs passion, violence, and sex, not PC censorship.  In a side note, she said vegetarians are out-of-touch with nature because they work for a clean, sinless world; real nature worshippers feel its cruelty. I love Camille Paglia.

However, this article will harshly criticize Paglia’s newest art survey book, Glittering Images. And you may be thinking, "Who cares? I'm into politics, not art." But, appreciating art is central to Western survival. Multiculturalists tell us that the West has no core traditional culture to protect and promote. Western art refutes that, and can serve as a guide to our cultural revitalization. To make this point firmer, the article will contrast Paglia's work to Kenneth Clark's marvelous culturist 1969 BBC survey of Western art, Civilisation.
