“The Political Compass”...

...has been used by sociologists and political scientists as the supposed be all and end all of mapping the primary dimensions of social and political sentiment into a space.  Supposedly all other dimensions are relatively insignificant when analyzing the dimensionality of political and social attitudes.

It is my hypothesis that the reason for this limited dimensionality is due to the fact that the questionnaires do not systematically include the scale of social organization to which the question applies.

For instance, take the statement “I oppose homosexual behavior.”

Let’s break this down into the following 3 statements:

“I prefer homosexual relations.”
“Homosexuality should be allowed within my nation.”
“I would tolerate the existence of a nation, somewhere in the world, that allowed homosexuality.”

A likely outcome of these statements for a great many people are:  “Strongly disagree”, “Disagree”, “Agree”

However, the questionnaires for “The Political Compass” rarely let people express their tolerance of diversity in any manner except what I have termed “heterosity” or novel, local diversity.

I further hypothesize that this is because the culture of sociologists and political scientists is dominated by vectorists—or people promoting heterosity as a means not only of transmitting more virulent genes and memes globally but evolving virulence via horizontal transmission.  The general unspoken assumption in designing their questionnaires is that if one is to be intolerant of some behavior or belief in your personal life, your family, your community, your county, your state or in your nation, that you must therefore be intolerant of the behavior globally.  Hence those subjected to these abusive questionnaires are put in a ridiculous position—the outcome of which fails to represent firewalling of cultures to discover what works and what fails in reality, as opposed to in the verbal bantering of academic sophists who nearly to the “person” promotes open borders and heterosity.

We will establish a network of experts, farsighted thinkers, political fora and discussion meetings.  We will thereby deepen and continually further develop the concept of the New Centre and the Third Way.  This is the priority for us.

... the credibility of the EPA [US Environmental Protection Agency - Ed] is defeatable, but not on the basis of ETS [environmental tobacco smoke - Ed) alone.  It must be part of a larger mosaic that concentrates all the EPA’s enemies against it at one time.

Today I happened across a review at Amazon Books of Frank Salter’s On Genetic Interests.  It was posted by one J. P. Rushton “Prof”, and is one of a select group of reviews that he has posted.  I find that fact both surprising and heartening.  The MacDonald list aside, perhaps, precious little evangelism is undertaken by our own intellectuals.  Prof Rushton ranks high in the Euro-loyal elite, certainly on the empirical wing.  It is good to see him speaking to the humble nationalist bookworm.  I certainly could not object if he and our other leading thinkers deigned to speak to the occasional blogworm as well.

And yet, in my heart I know that that would not be the most productive use of their time.  In matters of elite communication, productivity is measured by weight not volume.  Speaking to power is the duty and privilege of an intellectual elite, and that is no less true of ours than of any other.

Many otherwise intelligent commentators believe state support of fertility of “citizens” is the solution the low fertility of the West.  They would have us hope that women, guided by desire for better babies, would choose higher IQ men or sires from sperm banks resulting in a “eugenics by choice”.

Here’s reality:

Ricky Lackey has been chosen ‘stud’ by 6 simultaneous women who are now expecting their 6 children to contribute to Western fertility between August and October of this year.

When asked if he was going to marry a woman who is having sextuplets, the Rickmeister said:

“No, I be concubining.”

I believe this is not an accurate news report.  I suspect the Fountainhead of Evolution actually left off the trailing “g” and replaced it with an apostrophe.  It is via such economy that we may hope future generations will conserve the planet’s resources.

A German American kid from Green Bay, Wisconsin directed a low-budget (by modern blockbuster standards), pro-Euroman, anti-multicultural movie that is now on track to enjoy the largest opening for the month of March in the history of cinema with the highest rate of return on investment of any major release:

“The 300”.

Here’s my review.

James has recorded a second interview with Prof Fraser, now uploaded to the Radio page.  It is long (meaning highly informative): 92min 53 sec.  File size 85MB.

Street theatre is a very good way of getting the message across, as are publicity stunts.  But you’re right, there is very little that can be achieved through politics in the current climate and most of my own recent activities have been centred not just on music but also hiking, making runestaffs and producing a series of booklets for Woden’s Folk.  Political parties are designed precisely for that, politics.  National-Anarchists and the New Right, on the other hand, must focus upon intellectual warfare and the development of a counter-cultural avant-garde.  People in our circles must express themselves, bring their talents to the fore and do all they can to assemble a philosophical and artistic elite that can radically change the direction of modern society.  Don’t subscribe to folkish ideals, live them out.  Don’t talk about history, make it. Have children, teach them at home.  Remember, you live on through them.  All these things are essential.  If we don’t do this, our values will die.

Troy Southgate, quoted at Stormfront in a thread-starter by NZ New Right intellectual and activist, Welf Herfurth.

Troy and I have some differences on the matter of “the way forward”.  I much admire him, but he takes the view that the loss of England’s cities is inevitable and permanent.  Consequently, we must regroup in the remaining living space, and live the healthy, bucolic life.  My England happens to include London and Leicester, Bradford and Birmingham.  It’s my country and I want it back, cities included (notwithstanding James’ arguments).

Besides, the Third World will never stop coming here, and never stop breeding here, never stop miscegenating here.  Troy’s idyll among the whale-backed hills and green meadows of the English countryside would, at best, be a brief respite.  Probably, it would not even be that.

Something more manful than the bucolic life, adorned by an approximation of Wodenism, is required to answer modernity.  And let’s be clear that we are creatures of modernity in positive as well as negative ways.  The West’s intellectual and technological advancement is part of who and what we are.  I would argue that making technological progress is much more “us” than making runestaffs, not least because it accords with our sociobiology - conflicted with Nature as we are.  I am not in favour of gratuitous Saxonry.  The gratuitous, the inauthentic is of no utility.

So, yes to the intellectual stimulation of politics from the “right”.  Yes to developing a successor to the decaying liberal zeitgeist.  Yes to developing a new, loyal, revolutionary elite.

This is the activism I understand, and which I believe to be capable of producing the genuinely large-scale political, cultural and demographic shifts on which our survival depends.
