By Grégoire Canlorbe, American Renaissance, October 30, 2020:

       

Frank Kemp Salter is an Australian academic and researcher. Most of his career was at the Max Planck Research Centre for Human Ethology, in Andechs, Germany. He is best known for writings on ethnicity and ethnic interests. He studies political phenomena using conventional methods and the theories of behavioral biology. He has written about hierarchy (Emotions in Command, 1995), indoctrination (Ethnic Conflict and Indoctrination, 1998, edited with I. Eibl-Eibesfeldt), ethnic altruism and conflict (Welfare, Ethnicity and Altruism, 2002, Risky Transactions: Trust, Kinship and Ethnicity, 2004), and genetic interests (On Genetic Interests, 2003). In a review, Jared Taylor called On Genetic Interests “a vitally important contribution to our understanding of the significance of race and ethnicity in human affairs.” Dr. Salter has also been an adviser to Australia’s populist One Nation Party.

Grégoire Canlorbe: You write about the biological underpinnings of the obedience to one’s superiors in a hierarchy, especially in a bureaucracy. Please tell us more about this.

Frank Salter: In writing Emotions in Command, I observed command-giving in many organizations, from the military, to courts and parliaments, to nightclub doormen and theatrical rehearsals. The methods and observational categories were very much in the ethological tradition of Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt, whom I later joined as a colleague at his Max Planck Research Centre.

I expected to find dominance, and did, but I also found friendly behavior. Effective leaders take care to soften commands and bind subordinates to them through generosity and fairness. In doing this, they are helped by what I called the “dominance infrastructure,” this being the organization’s set of rules backed by inducements and punishments. My observations confirmed part of Max Weber’s theory of bureaucracy: that it is a rule-governed hierarchy. Being rule governed, with obedience largely ensured by the dominance infrastructure, administrative positions can be filled by a wide range of personalities. Domineering behavior or brilliant leadership have negative and positive effects respectively, but are not required for the organization to function.

       

It was the discovery of the affiliative component of hierarchy that led me to search for an “affiliative infrastructure.” That search led me to study ethnic ties, which can bind large populations. I wanted to know if there such a thing as an “ethnic infrastructure”?

Grégoire Canlorbe: A popular claim by J. Philippe Rushton is that there are racial differences in ethnocentrism, with the least genetically heterogeneous ethnic groups being the most ethnocentric. Do you agree?

Frank Salter: Philippe Rushton’s theory was not the basis of my research into ethnic kinship. Instead, it was William Hamilton’s theory of inclusive fitness, which is generally accepted in ethology and evolutionary biology. The theory states that kinship bonds promote the reproduction of shared genes. Hamilton extended his theory to ethnic groups. I’m not aware of the finding you describe (that variations in genetic homogeneity and the degree of genetic similarity predict the level of ethnocentrism), though it has a certain plausibility. What I am aware of is that the degree of genetic homogeneity is related to solidarity, a sense of social cohesion; or, to put it differently, conflict increases when society becomes more genetically diverse. That finding, which is compatible with Hamilton’s theory, has been repeated again and again. The work of the late Tatu Vanhanen is an excellent example.

Nonetheless it seems that a more diverse society can actually lead to greater ethnocentrism: not at the level of society taken as whole, but at the level of the different ethnic components of society. As you can see in the case of America especially (and this is a universal trend in the West), white majorities are now increasingly ethnocentric, but it clearly doesn’t compare to the very high ethnocentrism of black or Latino minorities. This is an issue the media and the universities don’t understand, and never talk about.

Get Involved In Memoriam

August 9th is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People – and as we are the indigenous people of these islands, we thought it would be a great time to celebrate!

On July 4th a group of 70 patriots went walking in the Peak District and displayed a 10-metre-long banner that simply read ‘WHITE LIVES MATTER’. You can read about the day.

Since that event, the pictures have gone viral and many liberals have had screaming tantrums and public meltdowns.

On August 9th we thought we would repeat the exercise on a much larger scale and use the publicity to get #WhiteLivesMatter trending on social networks.

The day was a roaring success! Hundreds of patriots gathered at various locations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to carry out banner reveals, stick up posters and hand out leaflets.

We even had people take part in America, New Zealand, Austria and Denmark! Our activism was picked up by a number of local news outlets, bringing a spike of registrations to the Patriotic Alternative website.

Thank you to everybody who took part on the day.

It was a fantastic show of force and optimism.

Photographs from the day can be found below.

Common Questions and Objections

Who are the British?

To be British is to be one of the various ethnic groups of the United Kingdom, namely: the English, the Scottish, the Welsh, the Northern Irish, the Cornish and the Orcadians (the indigenous inhabitants of the Orkney Islands, Scotland).

What are the differences between the various British ethnicities?

Although the ethnic groups of Britain are overwhelmingly NW European, there are slight differences in the ancestry of each group. For example, the Scottish will have more Viking ancestry, while the English will have more Anglo Saxon ancestry, and the Welsh will have more Celtic ancestry. The important thing to remember is that all of these groups came from the same region, therefore, despite our differences, we are very similar to each other (especially when compared to a non-British ethnicity).

Objection: Only the Welsh, who are Celtic, are indigenous to Britain.

False. All the groups mentioned above are indigenous to Britain. The English, for example, are around 60% Celtic and 40% Anglo Saxon (two groups who originated from the same place). A common argument that you will hear is that, as the English have Anglo Saxon heritage as well as Celtic, they are not native. This is the equivalent of having some red paint on a paint palette, and then adding some more red paint and saying it has changed colour. Coincidentally, the Māori (who are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand) arrived in New Zealand around 700 years ago. The Anglo Saxons invaded Britain around 1500 years ago. Nobody ever argues that the Māori aren’t indigenous, but they will argue that the English aren’t.

Objection: Britain has always been a nation of immigrants.

False. There is a difference between settlers (those who arrived somewhere first and established their own nation), invaders (those who invade a nation by force) and immigrants (those who are welcomed to a nation by its government) – although we don’t mind if you want to compare modern-day immigration to an invasion. Britain has never experienced anything like the modern-day, mass immigration we experience today.

Mass immigration started to Britain in 1948, yet it was really amplified from 1997 onwards when Tony Blair became Prime Minister under a Labour government. Before 1948, Britain was overwhelmingly ethnically British. Sure, there were small amounts of immigrants here and there (you may read about the odd Black skeleton being dug up), but their numbers were insignificant when compared to Britain’s overall population size. It is also worth noting that any invasion that Britain previously faced was an invasion by other Europeans (I.E., people who were very similar to us).

Objection: The English are a mongrel race.

False. People will usually cite various waves of invasion to Britain in order to suggest that the English are a “mongrel race” made up of the Celts, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Normans, etc. As discussed above, the English are a Celto-Germanic ethnic group. Not every invasion that Britain faced had an impact on our gene pool. The Romans for example, despite being in Britain for around 400 years, operated as a ruling class and had next-to-no impact on our genetics. As also discussed above, all of these groups are other Europeans anyway so it would hardly constitute a “mongrel race” even if it were true.

The History of Britain and her People

Survive the Jive 5 Oct 2019

A talk I did in London on the subject of Britiain’s demographic history. I begin with the Ice age, cover the Neolithic revolution, the arrival of the Beaker folk, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, the blackamoors act of Elizabethan times and right up to present day HMS Windrush etc.

There was a fault with the editing so the image of the Homo Erectus appears 30 seconds later than it should, please ignore that. It appears as I am discussing Neanderthals, but don’t worry, I know the difference between erectus and neanderthal!

Hundreds have driven to Hugo, MN to protest outside the home of Minneapolis Police union leader Bob Kroll and his wife Liz Collin, who is a news anchor on WCCO. More background on recent protests against Bob Kroll:

Laura Towler gives a presentation of the invasion of Britain from the perspective of “pathological altruism” - a term which drew hot objection from Tanstaafl.

Tan objects to the term put forward by Kevin MacDonald saying that it apparently comes by way of Jared Taylor’s White advocacy as Taylor wishes to take the blame off of Jewish power and influence per se.

However, Laura’s use of the term isn’t naive. She acknowledges that this condition of pathological altruism has instigating sources - of which she is well aware.

Michigan governor signs order calling racism a public health crisis

The Hill 5 Aug 2020:

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed an executive order on Wednesday, officially declaring racism a public health crisis.

In an effort to “elevate Black voices,” the order also mandates that a state advisory council centered around Black leadership be created. Additionally, Whitmer wants the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to have all state employees complete implicit bias training in an effort to “make health equity a major goal.”

“We must confront systemic racism head on so we can create a more equitable and just Michigan,” Whitmer said in a statement. “This is not about one party or person. I hope we can continue to work towards building a more inclusive and unbiased state that works for everyone.”

— Michigan State Police (@MichStatePolice) August 5, 2020

Michigan isn’t the first state to declare racism a public health crisis; Colorado and Wisconsin have done so recently as well. On a more local level, municipalities in 19 states have taken similar steps, including California, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Many of the declarations come after the American Public Health Association (APHA) declared systemic racism a public health crisis at the beginning of June — shortly after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, a Black man.

Floyd’s death regalvanized the Black Lives Matter movement and spurred nationwide protests that have been happening for most of the summer.

Moreover, health experts have found that COVID-19 has affected the U.S.‘s communities of color at disproportionate rate.

According to The Detroit News, Black Americans account for roughly 27 percent of the confirmed cases and nearly 40 percent of its deaths, although Michigan is only 14 percent Black overall.

Michigan has 84,050 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 6,219 deaths.

Therefore, she should order the borders closed and social distancing boundaries to be put into full effect.

Anti-Racism is Cartesian.

It is anti social classification and discrimination accordingly. It is not innocent, it is prejudiced. It is prejudice against prejudice; it is hurting and it is killing people.

It is also no less true, nor contradictory of the first statement to say that anti-racism is a Jewish construct.

It is a prohibition, especially for White people, but really for any non-Jewish people from rendering social classifications and discrimination accordingly in order to maintain those classifications (prohibited, even if those classificatory discriminations are just, humane, and warranted on the basis of well reasoned patterns of human ecology).

The Truth About Crime, Race, and Policing in America

Amon Göth’s daughter, a tragic figure.

Sometimes they cling to the right wing elements that allow for backdoor vulnerabilities through straightforward identification as rightist, at other times they don’t admit their right wing foolishness explicitly by saying “neither right nor left”, “national socialist” but lately there has been a gathering among the “dissident” right around the idea of “Third Positionism” ...which does allow for the admittance of Jewish influence by means of Christianity and where not directly, then by maneuvering of reactionary scientistic rigidity, like Uncle Adolf….serving reactionary elitism as such, it has young boys clambering for the leader in “truth, nature, god and foundation”, has the puerile girls getting all right-wing and wet as incitement of will to power in genetic competition will instigate the next round of genocide and leave a new breed of sociopaths on top for them to breed with, no matter whether they are Jewish, black or Mulatto, no matter if most and maybe nearly all of our European people get destroyed in the “inevitable, objective” process….

Greg Johnson discusses Carl Schmitt and The Concept of The Political...

The right wing being what it is, holding such rules as “no punching to the right”, is ripe for catastrophic exploitation in its non-corrective rigidity.

Among the reactionary positions that its proponents have been maneuvered into - duped - into taking, is that “sociology is Jewish.”  ...not that it is a neutral instrument that has been abused and weaponized against Whites by Jewish academics; no, right wingers take the position that sociology is Jewish and thus its unit of analysis - the group - is to be dismissed as so much skulduggery rather than what the group unit of analysis is - the most relevant to our cause.

You see, we European peoples, all of us, are being attacked as a group - a race is a group, and anti-racism is primarily aimed at the disorganization and destruction of the group that is European peoples along with our subgroups.

But the right wing position and its rational blindness to social accountability serves the elitism, secrecy and snobbery of some would-be leaders….

As their rationally blinded snobbery and elitism discriminates vertically instead of horizontally and fundamentally on the basis of qualitative niches, they also become naive, easily duped into entryism and maneuvering by our enemies.

Greg Johnson is only now saying what I have been saying explicitly for over a decade, that Jewry is organizing groups against us in anti-White coalitions, that we are under attack as a group and thus have to defend ourselves as a group.

Not that I am going to be given credit or even a hat-tip by these right-wingers for purveying that among an array of significant ideas that go into making it happen.. but as they are trying to spuriously bolt better grounded thoughts to their elitist positioning, let me point out that they are still clinging to their right wing, elitist positioning -

As I have observed before, Greg Johnson’s snobbery, that is, his vertical as opposed to horizontal discrimination leaves him with a bias that has him discriminating against some who are loyal and sincere while perhaps without pedigree, while favoring at times some who are clever, accredited but dubious in their will for our people (in the most relevant example, Greg banned me from Counter-Currents when I expressed suspicion in regard to Mark Dyal, whom Greg sought to curry favor with).

But here again, Greg’s elitism is served by Carl Schmitt’s concept of the political, though its “friend and enemy” distinction wound-up being drawn on catastrophic lines as it dovetailed with Schmitt’s dubious concept of “the exception” [exception to social accountability and regard for national boundaries] in his endorsement of the Nazi regime and the person of Hitler…and, well, what could go wrong?
