It is my opinion that Michel Houellebecq should be on the reading list of any committed non-liberal - assuming, of course, this paragon of nationalist virtue is interested in culture. And I think people who are seriously interested in understanding the grotesque spectacle of post-modern, ultra-liberal, hyper-modernity should be so interested. Cultural values are at the core of self-conception and define the contours of the political imagination.

The malaise facing the West goes far deeper than PeeCee and multiculturalism, even if they can be regarded as the most egregious symptoms of our total embrace of liberalism (that is, liberalism as the foundational paradigm for politics, culture, economics et al, rather than a secondary “corrective” ideology which is how classical liberalism arose).

Unfortunately no-one has a positive agenda to rebalance the West upon a sustainable course. There are of course some excellent critiques of the problems but, as yet, no really credible, putative solution has coalesced into a substantive form.

A comments elsewhere on the blog mentioned the spurning of Houellebecq, and I want to return to that. It strikes me that American nationalists in particular have a very narrow range of “cultural resources” that they bring to their politics. This also is true of many ‘nationalists’ across the board. How many times have the virtues of institutional religion (typically in the ‘Jesusland’ style) been offered as the “solution”, or indeed some bizarre “new”  version of fascism offered up? Pardon the paradox but both are deeply trivial non-answers (for rather obvious reasons). The exhaustion of the already exiguous political and cultural imagination of nationalists is palpable (neo-Nazi techno anyone??? - Jesus wept). There is, sadly, a lack of genuine radicalism or innovative thought – in the true sense of thinking about these issues both deeply and widely, and in being ruthless in the analysis of old assumptions and outdated or discredited shibboleths.

Returning to Houellebecq, he is deeply anti-American in outlook, and this animosity is not without very good reason. It seems that, in general, Americans - nationalists often included - completely fail to understand that their own nation is the most profoundly liberal nation in history. America was conceived as an inorganic “social experiment” in terms of Enlightenment-derived individual liberty. Individualistic liberalism is the true American ideology/religion. To be sure, it is not the only theme in American life but the others have been peripheral to the cardinal (liberal) impetus animating American culture and society. I have encountered very few American non-liberals (a Hayekian liberal who thinks he is a conservative is still a sub-species of the liberal genus). The axiomatic and defining role of liberal philosophy in American society is something that the overwhelming mass of American people, even self-described conservatives and nationalists, have a very hard time understanding. Collectively, America has drunk from that particular (liberal) well more deeply, and for longer, than any European society.

Of course, all of the West has caught the liberal disease which is deeply corrosive to the collective well-being of ordinary Europeans – truly, we are Voltaire’s bastards. To be sustainable, any society must balance the collective interests - those unifying forces that build cohesion and social capital - and the legitimate individual impulses that invariably tend to differentiation and fragmentation. Equally, a balance must exist between the interests and desires of the present generation and those to whom we will bequeath our collective life and national community. That is why post-liberal politics is actually the “radical centre”. It is a fulcrum conceptualised, for me, in more Aristotelian terms. It is not simply the centre as conceived in the conventional political spectrum, which presently represents only relative variations of liberal political philosophy.

A final thought on American nationalist thinking. I note that the ideal of white Zion has been floated on the blog. Nothing ... nothing illustrates the difference being the inorganic, propositional societies of the New World and the organic ones of “old” Europeans. The idea that whites should move to one place is the ultimate in white-flight fantasies, and is a council of despair. No European patriot could possibly think that abandoning our ancestral homelands represents anything other than the nadir of complete and humiliating defeat. 

Why should the British tribes (the Anglos and the Celts) give up our homelands? When I am in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland I reflect on all those generations that lived in this land before me and bequeathed it to us, and I feel deeply connected to the past. What right do we have to surrender our inheritance? Do we really want to run off like cowards scared into self-destruction when faced by some uppity Africans and Pakistanis? Our American friends must try to solve their own problems in a way they judge is appropriate to their situation. However as a European patriot, I for one, will never surrender – anything else is little short of traitorous.

P.S. So we have Houellebecq as a dissector of liberal cultural values, and I would also suggest Ballard and Coetzee in this regard also. But who else might be on the “contemporary literature” reading list for the by no means narrow-minded non-liberal?

These appear to be locals, not the EDL (though they are certainly trying to get involved).

If this catches on, the Establishment will have a heart attack.  Watch for senior Met brass warning against vigilantism.

Hat-tip to PM.

Negro male dominance behaviour.

White women as well.  It is anti-white race hatred.

So the news comes in, and it is news of a revolt by, for all intents and purposes, London’s young blacks, increasingly copied elsewhere.  But a revolt against what?

Certainly elements of the left are trying to make capital out of “government cuts”.  “Disaffection” and the misery of unemployment are also being dusted off and lovingly presented as cause just.  But it is already clear that the anti-white ramp that was constructed out of the black riots of a generation ago, and which resulted in the invention of “institutional racism”, will not be entertained this time round.  These riots are too plainly organised.  The motive of the rioters is too obviously to loot and burn.  No one is going to experience the exquisite agonies of liberal guilt on behalf of a mistreated looter or disaffected arsonist.  “Sorry, young man, there is such a thing as responsibility, and it isn’t as though government hasn’t made huge efforts over the last two and half-decades to help you succeed!”

So what, overall, can we expect when the Met’s report is in, the Home Office committee has investigated, the media vented, the mayor of London bloviated, the cabinet sat, and the Home Secretary stood up in the House to present “the answer”?  Here are my predictions.

1. The young black male is not going to be excused this time.  He has delivered himself of a direct and violent challenge to the social order - an insult which is authentically black and belongs to him, and has no provenance outside of the narrow and low space between his ears.  He has made a world of violence and chaos for himself, in which his male dominance strategies can be liberally exercised.  That is the sum total of his civilisational worth, and it is not going to be easy for any thoughtful government minister to continue to delude himself that but for a bit more educational expenditure, better role models, more mentoring, sport facilities and youth clubs, and fathers at home, there walks a white boy.  There doesn’t.

The truth of black sociobiology is knocking loudly on the door.  It might not be opened this time round.  But opening it is the only option in the longer run.

2. The race industry’s funding will be cut, its leadership changed, its role redefined.  It will die by neglect, being officially done away with, probably, by the end of the next parliament.

As it happens, today Civitas released a press release on its review of smooth Trevor Philips’ Equality and Human Rights Commission.  The review is titled Small Corroding Words, but the events in London and up and down the country will likely prove much more corrosive for Philips (and John Wadham, the legal persecutor of the BNP).  That said, the review is extremely timely, seemingly damning, and certain to be well read in Conservative Party circles.

3. The educational Establishment and the Marxian left generally will cop the official blame for its shameless failure to confront gang culture, and for having turned the police into social workers horrified by the possibility of being called racists.  How much this will translate into real change, I’m not certain.  But it marks the end of Marx in educational thinking.  Furthermore ...

4. That way the black “community” will be spared the most searching questions, at least today.  It will, however, be required to question its commitment to the social order in much the same way that Moslems have been required post-7/7 to “reject extremism” and become that mythical thing, a “moderate Moslem”.  Black politicians - all four of them - will learn the required new, reassuring words, and the media will afford them much opportunity to repeat them.  Nothing, of course, will change as a result.

5. The Labour Party will be forced to recognise the horribly non-Marxist drift in respect to the old blame culture, and shift itself towards the new centre.  This is probably the major, long-term political effect of what we are seeing.  Again, I don’t know how far it will go.  But it is very positive - if it happens.

6. Griffin’s BNP will continue to offer the white working-class what it has offered them in the past, entirely missing the sea-change in attitude to the black population that now obtains, as a result of these latest events.  Eventually, nationalism will find a way to rid itself of its dog in the manger, and then we might see what a political crow-bar wedged into the new fissure can achieve.

At Occidental Dissent.  The time before last it happened - again at Occidental Dissent - I offered Prozium (or was it Scimitar) a guest-slot at MR because he was producing some very good conservative-going-on-WN material.  Someone I respect explained privately that this had all happened before (as Fade the Butcher), and to become involved in any way with this guy would be a mistake.  But it didn’t matter because Scimitar (or was it Prozium) started Odessa Syndicate.  When it happened again at Odessa Syndicate in 2008 I expressed the hope that Scimitar-Prozium would now understand his limitations, tragic as they are, and not attempt to operate in a lead role anywhere in the future.  But he started Occidental Dissent again.  Hunter Wallace’s newly muscled, Imm-friendly, Tea Party-friendly, lets-do-politics Occidental Dissent.

I wish Hunter well, but I also wish he would respect his situation and his readers, and not put himself and them through yet another cycle of destruction.  He surely will, though.  He says he’s fine.

In answer to Graham Lister’s enquiry ...

Some of my fellow Britons - ones from the Broadwater Farm Estate - have been doing a little more than window shopping this evening.  With some arson thrown in.  Once again it’s because those evil policemen don’t give a guy a chance to put his gun down:

It was revealed that Mr Duggan had been travelling in a minicab and was gunned down after an apparent exchange of fire. Officers had been attempting to carry out an arrest under the Trident operational command unit, which deals with gun crime in the black community, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

... A local woman, who declined to give her name, said: “There’s a theory going on that the man who was shot had dropped his gun, but they still shot him. I’m hearing that most of the shops in the High Road are being burgled and robbed.”

Of course, this is in North London, which is miles away from South London.  I mean, different criminals entirely.  Same race.  Different criminals.

Meanwhile, getting down with The Voice, we read:

... all seventy-seven of them from both attack sites are pictured here.  Some additional biographical information is here.

At a quick estimate I’d say six are one kind or another of Asian, one African, three mixed-race.  One is Georgian, one Kosovan and the remaining sixty-five seem to be Scandinavian or certainly northern European.  Brievik’s three youngest victims were just fourteen years old: Johannes Buø, Eva Kathinka Lütken and Sharidyn Svebakk-Bøhn, a part-Maori.

Of the rest, seven were fifteen years old (four of them girls), eight were sixteen (five girls), and twelve were seventeen (six girls).  Of the seventy-seven, forty-one were female.

Like many Jewish websites and publications, JewishFederations.org is packed with examples of how Jews in America network and collaborate in their own ethnic interests.  There are entries here on women’s philanthropy, youth leadership, planned giving and endowments, lobbying in Washington, and a page of wider resources that leave no Jewish stone unturned.  European nationalists would do well to emulate one tenth of this industry.  Actually, beyond a few failing micro-parties, we in Britain have really nothing.

Over the last few days I’ve had some conversations with certain British nationalists - real ones, that is, enthno-nationalists - about this question:

If a political party standing in isolation as the nationalist vehicle will always struggle to tip the balance and actually win in a multiracial democracy, what additional vehicles/measures do you think the wider movement could bring forward to make the political win more possible?

I am thinking here about media and PR, cultural organisations, think tanks, fund-sourcing agencies ... all and anything that might advance the cause of our ethnic interests.  My conversations have been quite interesting, but this is such a rich area to consider I’m sure there must be many more strong suggestions that can be made - and some that will have been thought through pretty carefully.

I should add that this is not a purely speculative question. With the BNP leadership election concluded and the party, to all intents and purposes, locked up and bound to decline over the next four years - if it lasts that long - this is the moment when people are looking for fresh thinking.  That much is clear.  Perhaps we will even thank Nick Griffin for inadvertently forcing the development of an holistic and multi-faceted approach to the problem of the public mind, public discourse, and only then, the ballot box.
