[Majorityrights News] The Dutch voter giveth, the Dutch voter taketh away Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 18 March 2023 11:30. The following short article marks the close of my efforts to bring PA to seriousness. I have said what I wanted to say. There is no point in going on saying it. Whether it will have any effect over the time remaining to PA itself, before it is proscribed, remains to be seen. Where responsible and intelligent political advocacy for our people will come from, heaven knows.
Of course, the road to electoral relevance is never the same in any two European homelands, and nowhere is it bound to produce unending success. Political fortunes wax and wane. In Denmark, for instance, the experiment with nationalism in government has lasted only one parliament so far, between 2015 and 2019. But if the Danish People’s Party can maintain its electoral relevance it may return; and that is as much as can be asked at this very dark moment. The ideological keys to electoral relevance are pragmatism and moderation. By their nature, democracies tend, over time, to encourage all serious political parties to moderate to the prevailing political consensus just to become and remain relevant. In our time in our benighted country the weight of national security laws and the manner in which they are worked by the security apparatus of the state also place an absolute obligation on politically ambitious nationalists to follow the same path. It’s not as if there is a real choice. So the question, really, is how, not if; and for starters the how is to switch out of the negativity and reaction which has characterised the nationalist past ... the racism, the anti-Islamism, the WW2 guff, the anti-Semitism, the white nationalism and alt-rightism, and all the rest. Yes, our people have the right in Nature to struggle to exist in this world, and we can advocate for it. We can advocate for respect from government. We can advocate for fairness and freedom. We can prosecute our right under constitutional law and human rights law to come together and choose our destiny, if we so wish. None of that changes, and in Sweden that coming together is a key ... perhaps the key ... nationalist appeal. The front page of the party’s website reads “Välkommen till folkrörelsen”. It means: welcome to the popular movement. The party’s wiki page opens with the following:
That, or something very like that, is how the Tyndall-esque movement we, in many respects, still are can develop into a real and responsible servant of our people’s life-cause. It’s no great mystery. Yes, we have to change mightily to do it. But it’s not as if we have a choice. It’s not as if those who would argue otherwise have any positive and hopeful, patriotic alternative.
This morning ConservativeHome, the only really salient website for politically-minded British conservatives, ran an interesting piece by Rebecca Lowe. She is described as “the former director of FREER, and a former assistant editor of ConservativeHome. She is co-founder of Radical.” The latter tells us that she is part of the feminist rearguard action against the trespasses of trannyism on womanhood, her judgement being that the broad offices of state have fallen to it, and it is now a radical act to speak of woman in her nature and whole being. The article is titled What consequentialism and Peter Singer have taught me about the gender debate. In it she is much exercised by the Jewish radical Singer, and spends a fair part of the article sniping at his approval of parents murdering their disabled babies. But her principal concern is “the gender debate”. It’s a good and properly conservative article but, of course, it does not situate Singer in the wider historical paradigm, the failure to recognise which ensures that conservatives continue operating on the enemy’s ground and on the enemy’s terms. One ConHome commenter (whose similarity to other such, long-banned commenters of a nationalist persuasion, offering an identical nationalist critique, we need not dwell upon) offered the following, minor observation in an attempt to open a few tight-shut conservative eyes:
A couple of nights ago, as our daughter was home for the weekend, we three settled on the sofa in front of the television in her rooms to watch the Netflix drama The Dig. Its storyline may disappoint Anglo-Saxonists. It is not really about the discovery of the Sutton Hoo ship burial. Neither at the dig nor in the conservator’s lab do we get to gaze upon the glories emerging into the light of day after fourteen centuries. No, this is a movie of the lives of those involved in the dig, most of them real people, and their place in that most pregnant moment in history. Starring Ralph Fiennes as self-styled excavator Basil Brown, Carey Mulligan as the landowner Edith May Pretty, and Lily James as Peggy Piggott, it was released to general approval - and some disapproval - in January this year. To be clear at the outset, the film as such is of secondary importance in the thesis of this short essay. It is really only a vehicle for a commentary on our nationalism. So let us dispense with it quickly ... The plot is thin. War with Hitler’s Germany is imminent. An old Suffolk archaeology hand is called in by a dying landowner to excavate some barrows on her property at Sutton Hoo. He uncovers a 6th century Anglo-Saxon boat, and the big names in British archaeology in the 1930s come bouncing in and take over. These middle-class folk do some middle-class things, including snobbery, professional in-fighting, and extra-marital sex, some of which latter, we are led to believe, is homosexual (completely illegal at the time). But they also unearth the greatest archaeological treasure in British history. The excavation closes. War is declared. The End. And that’s it, really. If the action is boorishly, predictably infected with the modern, the Suffolk coastal landscape breathes history and regulates the action with a heavy sense of the timeless. Its photography is rich and beautiful, and the lead acting performances match it. Feinnes revels in the broad country accent and the native intelligence and simplicity of his character - a man who can say “My father taught me,” and for it to mean all the long line of fathers in our past. The important lines, the ones which reveal meaning, all belong to him. Feinnes delivers a performance that is at once austere and entirely human in scale.
This is the second part of my re-work of the original Journey posts. A third will follow. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
He found “B”, a middle-aged woman of unremarkable appearance and cool demeanour whom he knew only by the pseudonym Beatrix, sitting primly in the sun on one of the benches by the tennis courts in Lincoln’s Inn Fields. There were no niceties exchanged. “Do you want to sit or walk?” he asked her. She rose and the two of them began to stroll slowly around the perimeter of the Fields. “We were disappointed to learn,” she stated, “that you will only be meeting with Driscoll. How did that happen?” Dunstan didn’t know. “I sent you Driscoll’s text. The Prof couldn’t make it, that’s all.” “I doubt if that’s all,” she responded, “If Upton is distancing himself or not taking you seriously we want to know why. We want to keep on top of things.” Dunstan nodded dutifully although, in truth, he was not at all the dutiful sort. “I’ll ask,” he said, “but I really need to stick to law as much as possible. I’m not sure what else I can safely say to Driscoll if, as you say, he’s just the money-man. It might be wiser to postpone altogether.” “Postponing now would only make you look suspect,” she retorted, “We started with him, remember. So it follows that you must want to see him. About what, precisely, it doesn’t matter nearly as much as you think. You’re on the same side. You haven’t got to explain everything. It’s more subtle than that. Watch his face. Sense his working assumptions about you. Where they are positive let him run with them. Where they’re not, throw in a redirection or put him off by cross-examining him. Never allow him to cross-examine you. Always be aware of the underlying power-dynamics. It’s trade-craft. Surely it must be second nature to any half-decent advocate?” Something close to a smile yet not a smile, a schemer’s relish, played on her lips. But it was gone without trace in an instant. “Yeah yeah, OK,” said Dunstan, sighing wearily. She had this way of beating him down which felt intentional. Was that because she was “aware of the underlying power-dynamics”? He was a junior of thirty-one, for Christ’s sake, and he knew perfectly well how to handle himself. He was not charmed to be told otherwise, even by MI5. He didn’t hide it well, either. “Am I boring you, Mr Dunstan?” Beatrix inquired with quiet malice. “This is a formal operation, in case you have forgotten. It has a clear objective, a plan of action, a codename, and a budget. What it does not have is room for cavalier attitudes from you.” “No, I’m sorry,” he said, knuckling down again,“of course I will do as you ask.” “You will have to,” his handler stated flatly, “You’re in now and there’s no getting out.”
From time to time I endeavour to pull the old-style nationalist writers at PA away from their Nietzschean assumptions. This is a typical effort, on a thread honouring the anniversary of Jonathan Bowden’s death, and specifically in response to the author’s defence of “the will”:
Having seen the front page illustration to the British Constitution Group website, making a big song and dance about how “The People Retain Authority over their Government”, our close friend John Standing thought he might ask a question of these lawyerly folk. Here it is:
Several years ago I ripped off the first couple of chapters of a book that I had no intention of writing in full. The idea was to explore in dramatic form the question of how Western governments might be taken to the International Criminal Court on a charge of committing a genocide agaist their native European people. The two essays that it took to accomplish the task were pretty well received by the then MR commentariat. But, in fact, they would both have benefitted from a longer period of gestation and a more considered approach to the actual writing. Now I’m re-writing them in a more developed and more narrowly-focussed form for the purpose of offering the finished product to PA for their site. The whole exercise should run close to 8,000 words, the first half of which is posted below. The second half will follow in two or three days. “The Court will hear your opening statement if you please, Mr Truscott-Brown,” announced the presiding chief justice in fluent but by no means native English. For that was to be the only language spoken in the room during the next three undoubtedly arduous days. No translators would be whispering into microphones, no one in Court would be hurriedly adjusting his or her earpiece to catch some mangled phrase. This was an entirely English, or British, affair except that it was taking place at The Hague before one judge from Montreal, another from Heidelberg, and a third from Uppsala, all of whom had forgone the privilege of hearing the proceedings in their native tongue. “Thank you, your Honour,” came the reply in ringing received pronunciation. George Truscott-Brown QC OBE, FSA, RHS, lead advocate for the plaintiff, eternal renegade and inveterate fighter of lost causes, peered over his reading glasses at the unknown quantity which was the bench. He steadied himself inwardly and, with a final, ever so slightly uncertain caress of the bundle of papers on the table in front of him, rose to begin his work for the day. “Learned judges, may I at the outset, on behalf of the appellants, myself and my team, state for the record of proceedings our sincere gratitude to each of you and to the ICC as a whole for agreeing to hear this application. We fully appreciate that that decision alone broke new ground. So your Honours will be acutely aware that this is a conceptually novel and therefore, in some quarters, controversial action which presents a number of tests for the 1948 Convention. If the plaintiff is successful at this review, a subsequent plenary hearing may set precedent in several areas of high significance for the jurisdiction and practise of the ICC and, specifically, for its future interpretation of Article 2. By that we mean, in particular, its interpretation of prevention in the context of the modern Western society where armed conflict is absent. “Mindful, therefore, of all this, and of the profound responsibility which would weigh upon the eventual trial judges, it is our intention, at the kind invitation of the Office of the Prosecutor, to present your Honours with the greatest possible wealth of evidence and legal argument within the time available to us. It is our firm belief that all of the former will be ruled admissible and the latter applicable, and that your Honours will be led to the only possible conclusion that the Court must grant the Prosecutor leave to investigate the complicity of those individuals named in the Court papers in the creation of conditions of life calculated to bring about, over time, the physical destruction of whole or part of the peoples native to Great Britain. It is our firm belief that we will clear that high legislative bar.” And so it began.
