Recently, I’ve been inundated with Sydney Sweeney memes and ads. Her American Eagle ad in which she dared to point out that genes are passed down from parents. “”Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.” This caused a tremendous backlash and it has been called a racist ad.
As a result of the controversy, she seems to be everywhere whether I go on Facebook, X, or just trying to watch a little TV. I guess she’s this generations “it” girl. I heard that Jane Fonda was once the “it” girl which probably contributed to the anger against her when she went to North Vietnam to seemingly support their troops. There’s an instinctive male jealousy at seeing her go over to the enemy.
Later, Lindsay Lohan was the “it” girl. I remember being inundated with her picture everywhere you turned back in the early 2000s. She seemed like an unstoppable force at the time with the paparazzi following her every move. Back then, no one seemed upset that she was a pretty blonde.
Also in the news was Billie Eilish, a singer’s whose music I’ve never heard nor want to hear. She went over to Ireland and made the incredibly racist statement, “As you guys know, I’m Irish, I’m not from here obviously, but it’s really cool to come somewhere and like everybody looks exactly like you. You’re all just as pasty as me. I love it. It makes me feel so seen. Also, 1,000 of my relatives are in the crowd right now, I’m pretty sure.”
How dare white people notice genetics! The Sydney Sweeney ad has been accused of promoting eugenics, and Billie Eilish has been accused of being racist for noticing other people looking like her. At some point, will someone point out that this is simply racism against white people?
This stupidity all goes back to World War II and the Nazis. I’m convinced evil is an amorphous thing that never is completely defeated. What made so many people mad at the Nazis and viewed them as criminals was their enslavement and murder of people. The ideology masked behind that was not necessarily the evil thing.
I go back in my memory to a book I can no longer find. I believe it was written by psychologist Thomas Harris as a follow up to “I’m OK-You’re OK”, but if it was it seems to have been scrubbed from this earth. In it, the author was elaborating on the theme of “I’m OK-You’re OK” to include “I’m OK-You’re OK-They’re OK”. The author was discussing an unhealthy mind that believed “I’m OK-You’re OK-They’re not OK”. This last group were people who thought themselves and their immediate friends and family were OK, but that anyone not in their little clique or club was not OK. The psychologist author elaborated that these types of people tended to gravitate to fraternities, police departments, specialized military units and that sort of thing. Anyone in their group, club, or department was good in this mindset, while those outside were enemies. (No, this doesn’t mean everyone in the Navy SEALs thinks like this, but a certain number of their membership will).
(Look at obsessive sports fans. Everyone who cheers for my college team is good, all other teams are bad. There can definitely be friendly rivalries, but some people take it way too far).
The author then went on to describe how in the wake of World War II some members of the Gestapo went to work for the Stasi. This flabbergasted some as Hitler had been going off about Jewish Bolshevism and how terrible it was and these Gestapo members seemed to embrace that. Yet, now these same people were embracing Communism and the Stasi. The psychologist said to leave aside the political philosophy for a moment and focus on the psychology. They were both doing the same thing. Whether working for the Gestapo or Stasi both members viewed themselves as good and the same with their colleagues. Those outside their club were viewed as bad. Mentally, this gave them Carte Blanche to treat non-members as cruelly as they wished.
If you look at it from this standpoint, eugenics was not the great cause for World War II. It was more like an excuse for an us versus them mentality. You can use political philosophy, religion, or race for the same purposes. There’s probably other ways of distinguishing besides those three, but they are the three big ones.
Unfortunately, I believe that some people took away the wrong lesson from World War II. They did not focus on the mentality, the cruelty of what was done. They focused on who did it and decided the great crime of World War II was “whiteness”. However, no one was attempting to invade Germany just because Hitler started baby farms, lebensborn. Breeding white people was not evil. Killing newborns because they looked insufficiently “Aryan” was.
By the way, on the subject of eugenics, in a sense, we all engage in it. When trying to select a spouse, we try to find the most intelligent and attractive mate with whom we can get along that we can possibly get. There are certain people who are looked upon as more desirable than others by the great majority of people. We often make these desirable outliers into models, actors and actresses. We put them in the spotlight because they attract the attention of the majority of people.
Single women are currently engaging in a sort of eugenics program where they pick a sperm donor based on things like the father’s IQ, height and attractiveness. I’ve read that some sperm banks don’t show you the pictures of the sperm donors as adults, but they do show pictures of them as babies and toddlers. “It appears that women largely prefer their donor to be about six feet tall, with blue or green eyes, either blond or brown hair, and with a medium complexion.” (I suspect these women are largely white women).
Sadly, I think a lot of people took away an entirely wrong lesson from World War II. I pointed out earlier that evil often fights other evil. Just because Fascism was bad does not make Communism good. Just because certain Germans were bad does not make everyone with blond hair and blue eyes bad too.
One person who famously got it wrong was Babara Lerner Spectre. Whether intentionally or not, she caused a lot of antisemitism by seeing white people as the problem and not the psychology as the problem:
She does not explain why Europe will not survive without multiculturalism. In fact, given that white genes are recessive, the opposite is more likely true. The Kalergi plan is real. The multi-culty plan is more likely to cause the permanent destruction of Europe.
One last thought before I sign off. I remember reading that back during the Vietnam war when we decided to get out of it, initially, someone wanted to call it the de-Americanization of the war. Someone pointed out that the term seemed terrible from a public relations standpoint. Instead, they decided to call it the Vietnamization of the war. I remember some pundit lamenting that there is a Congressional Black Caucus and a Congressional Hispanic Caucus, but nothing to represent white people. Since white people are less than 16% of the world’s population (and that’s a high estimate), don’t we deserve a separate lobbying group?
Rather than trying for a “white pride” party are something explicitly pro-white, I believe it is sufficient to point out that in many ways the Democratic party has become the anti-white party. It is the party that pretends white people should feel shame over slavery, colonization, and simply dominating the world. It is full of people who think Sydney Sweeney is racist for simply being white. Remember Robin Diangelo urging people to “be less white“? Talk about learning the wrong lesson from World War II. How is it possible for a white person to be less white?
So rather than trying to make the Republican party into the “white party”, I believe it is sufficient to label the Democrats as what they are, the Anti-White Party. The reverse Nazi party is actually imitating the Nazi party. They’ve gone full Nietzsche and don’t realize it. “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” Sure, there are white people in the anti-white party, but they suffer from a white guilt complex. It’s a bit like what Victor Davis Hanson observed about the woke left. You can fly around on a private jet, or, lounge on a luxury yacht burning thousands upon thousands of gallons of jet fuel or diesel, but as long as you espouse publicly the right beliefs about climate change, you will be forgiven. Likewise, there will be a few white members of the anti-white party, but they will espouse anti-white beliefs and grovel before the non-whites in the party.
