I’ve never been quite fond of that meme about the woods, personally. Europe abounds with elves and fairykind, and the fables about them can be quite frightening. I imagine the frightfulness of American woods comes from the fact that they are, in a sense, alien to those of European descent.

Good piece overall though. Reminds me very much of early Nick Land.

I remember a hunter from Australia insisting on Rogan that America is a far, far more dangerous place than his homeland. He detailed how all of his pals have nearly died multiple times from wildlife while hunting here.

Can’t believe I hadn’t followed you yet. I have since fixed that.

I agree the Anglos are far from finished. Rather our good nature, designed as it is for a high trust homogeneous environment, has been taken advantage of.

I'm thinking of Ilhan Omar's recent revelations. She is not pro-America, she is pro-Somalia, she views the existence of the US as just a thing to be exploited or raided. There is never any sense of what she may contribute or add to elevate it further. It is there, it is soft, so take what you want, like one of those Amish carts with produce you voluntarily pay for.

We are not like this. So I think some of us are already aware and pulling away from the softer part that cannot defend itself. The part that defends the Omars rather than deport them as unsuited to high civilization.

That will be the bifurcation. We must learn to toughen up and accept not everyone makes it. That's the Anglo-Saxon way.

It goes far beyond single individuals or ethnic groups in my opinion (well, besides maybe one); the whole structure of our modern society is built around pillaging heritage America, whether materially via the economy and immigration, or culturally via the way our history has been vilified, revised, and reinterpreted, or spiritually through the way our Protestant tradition has been repurposed for the regime. I am by no means disagreeing with what you said, it’s just a very profound way of looking at things and it got me thinking about the broader picture.

I agree it is not a single group. That is where some of the ethnonationalists go wrong.

It is about culture. Recently the Tunisians in North Africa expelled all subsaharans from their territory. The president reminded the world North Africans were Europeans mixed with Arabs, their culture distinct. He was blunt about how little the subsaharans brought and the trouble they caused. He championed his own culture and explained his wish to preserve it.

All 40000 subsaharans were ousted in weeks.

That's how you do it. You stick up for your own culture and history. And you expel the traitors. I'd start by shutting down every university.

An easily identifiable "fate" of a segment of the United States instigated by geography has to be the West Coast. One of the other names for it is "Eco-topia;" perhaps Vermont is an East Coast exclave of this group. The confluence of geography and group characteristics is undeniable. "Island time," is not just a cutesy tourist phrase.
