>>509441145 (OP)Holy cow. This is for real.
Okay, here we go. Iโm all in. You know, on a certain level, I have some reservations โ but theyโre all sentimental and nostalgic. I genuinely like all people; I earnestly do. I am moreover somewhat liberal in my instincts; and Ive wrestled with this a lot. I tend to ideals in my thinking. Sometimes ideals come into conflict. And this issue represents just such a conflict. On the one hand, I like the thought of a society where different types can come and go โ ideas, people and commerce freely flow. But I have to admit, that ideal is framed within the aegis of a white/western system and society. I didnโt understand this about myself for the longest time. I, like so many others who developed their worldview within a more liberal milieu, would not allow myself to acknowledge that the defining characteristic of this or that ideal was its essential whiteness. We all actively disassociate what we like and what we aspire to with our race, as it feels dirty to do so. We are strictly forbidden to even associate our institutions, society, nations, system, values, etc with our race. For saying something demonstrably and undeniably true like, โthe grandeur and glory of western civilization is uniquely attributable to the white raceโ will literally get you fired and unpersoned.
And I came to understand how strange that is. I mean, itโs one thing to not care. Thatโs perfectly valid. But to aggressively assert that itโs verboten and somehow immoral to attribute the accomplishments and grandeur of western civilization to the white race is very confusing, if not suspect. Weโre so thoroughly conditioned in this way, that to even discuss it as a phenomenon is discomforting. We canโt even talk about how uncomfortable it is to say anything good about white people without feeling uncomfortable. lol. Itโs true; and itโs bizarre as fuck. If you really think it and what this represents, it will creep you out.
