Empedocles, the Darwinian Reactionary, has a magnificent seven-part series from last fall: The Ultimate Guide To Cultural Marxist Genocide (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII) in which he establishes, beyond argument in my estimation the following:
- the reality of historical human kinds, aka. ethnic groups;
- the basis for persistence of historical human kinds;
- various real threats to the persistence of historical human kinds;
- threats to the persistence of historical human kinds may be considered genocide;
- that it is natural and right for historical human kinds both to feel in-group affinity and advocate and work for their own continued existence;
- that radical Marxists have advocated, in various and deceitful ways, against European (i.e., white) historical human kinds having normal in-group affinity and working for their own continued existence; and
- that such advocacy may thus be called genocide
So the folks who go around meming White Genocide all the time are technically correct. But here’s why I think that’s a losing proposition.
First, it’s not what people think of when you say genocide. Here’s what The Goog thinks:
So the assertion that Cultural Marxists are engaging in White Genocide is at least a little misleading. What most people think when they hear the word “genocide” is systematic murder. This “milder” sort of genocide actually more of an active encouragement toward ethnic and cultural suicide. It is only deemed genocide by the broader connotation given by Raphael Lemkin, which includes
the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.
The 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) does not take such an expansive view, however. So White Genocide in the West is, at best, a semantical, quazi-talmudic point.
So when good-hearted defenders of European peoples and culture cry “White Genocide!”, the first thing an open-minded progressive or conservative will say is, “Where? Where are the corpses?” With the noteworthy exception of southern Africa, there are none. “No,” we may say, “We are using a more expansive definition of genocide that includes ‘disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion’.” It is true that Cultural Marxists seek this end, but it’s not enough to get anyone convicted under the UN Convention (assuming anyone could ever bring Cultural Marxists before the UN anyway). Cultural Marxists are not actually killing Christian Europeans, nor are they artificially limiting the size of their families. A semantical argument is no way to win, especially for Christian European peoples, who’s gift to the world, according to Curt Doolittle, was truth-telling.
A second reason that I think the White Genocide Meme is a losing proposition for defenders of European peoples and culture: I’m not convinced this sort of “soft” genocide is the sort of thing we should oppose. If you indict Cultural Marxists for White Genocide, then you can indict European Americans for the genocide of Native American and Australian peoples for exactly the same reasons. Strong peoples out-compete weak peoples. They always have and always will.
Members of weak peoples will often gladly join the strong. Languages, and the cultures they arise and live in, die. It is not the duty of strong historical human kinds to ensure the continued existence of weak historical human kinds. It is their moral duty not to actively kill them or steal from them. But not their moral duty to artificially prop them up. If an historical human kind has lost the will to see to its own continued existence, then they deserve what’s coming. What remains of their cultural and genetic heritage will be absorbed into a stronger one.
A third and final reason I think “White Genocide!” is poor hill to plant a flag on is that it reflects are certain lack of agency among European peoples. Weak peoples without agency blame their oppressors. Oppressor blaming even when largely true never does a people any good. In fact, it does much harm. It is a cry, implicitly, to a stronger group with stronger agency. Look at all the good “Blame Whitey” has done for American blacks over the past two generations!
If European peoples are the greatest peoples on earth (and I think, on net, they are), then to whom shall they cry for justice? God? Then pray, don’t engage in victim politics. And while at prayer, pray all the more for the internal fortitude to have greater agency and greater power to administer greater control over your own destiny. Cultural Marxists aren’t forcing European men and (especially) women to delay, reduce, or forego natural procreation. They may be cleverly and ubiquitiously suggesting it, but in the end, at least for now, European individuals retain the freedom to control their own demographic destiny.
The power remains, for the forseeable future, with Europeans not to commit ethnic and cultural suicide. Make European babies, folks. That’s what I did. And never get bogged down in victim politics. Even if the accusations are true, wrapping yourself in victimhood is a victory for your enemies, and dangerous to your soul.
There is no doubt that Cultural Marxists advocate for a species of genocide against whites. By ownership of all the major organs of cultural transmission (media and education), they quite effectively rob Europeans of a sense of ethnic identity and cohesion. This is a crime arguably worthy of punishment by death. But complaining about it concedes too much to the progressive frame I think; specifically, that there is anything morally wrong with this soft sort of genocide. European peoples should see their White Genocide, and raise them a Cultural Marxist Genocide.

While I agree we should avoid the victim mindset, the white genocide meme and others like it have gotten out into the mainstream more than many other messages we’ve pushed. At the end of the day, while a portion of us will seek out the truth and try to build the necessary mental fortitude, we will still have to appeal to emotion at some level to get more of the masses aware of the problems we face. Getting your average not-awake individual to wake up sometimes means pointing out a very real existential threat. Before we can convince people of our arguments we have to wake them up.
[Ed. I agree it is attractive, and also agree that it is technically correct. But it is attractive to the wrong sorts of people.

Non-Whites engage in anti-White tribal violence within the West, killing, maiming, raping and robbing Whites en masse. These non-Whites were brought to the West by hostile elites. Then there’s a resultant inevitable miscegenation. Let’s say — I don’t have statistics — that annually, 1% of Whites are lost to anti-White tribal violence, and another 1% to miscegenation (don’t get me started on other policies that effectively reduce White birthrates) – with encouragement by Cultural Marxists. How is that not Genocide, albeit a soft one?
[Ed. Blacks are killed at the hands of blacks at about 4 times the rate of whites. And the percentages are nowhere near 1 in 100/year, at least in any western nation. Just think about that number for a minute.]

How is it relevant that non-Whites kill more of their own than they kill Whites? And even if they only kill 0.01% of Whites annually, the fact is that these disproportionately-violent minorities act as proxies for the hostile elites to diminish White lives that otherwise wouldn’t have been wasted.
Muslims kill mostly one another, yet intentionally bringing them to Europe resulted in increased White mortality, and it’s obvious that the hostile elites know, and ignore, this undeniable reality. Intentionally increasing White mortality, by whatever small margin, is Genocide.
I agree that appealing to the Left’s sense of empathy is futile. They viscerally hate Whites, and will hate Whites as long as they exist in White countries. Remove these elites, then.
[Ed. And do you believe by political agitation and propagandizing you can “remove” these elites? Good luck with that. I believe there are better options.]

You ask “where are the corpses?” Everywhere you look, actually: Whites are killed by non-Whites on a daily basis. These cases go unreported, but are real nevertheless. What’s important is that these deaths are not an accident, but a direct consequence of an intentional policy. These deaths could have been avoided. Genocide is the murder of a people, usually at the hands of other people. The White people are murdered by other people, by design. Q.E.D
[Ed. Black people who do murders barely qualify as having intentionality at all. They murder people (mostly their own). Not *a* people. You stretch the definition of genocide so thin as to strain credulity. This is not how Europeans should act. Europeans practically invented truth-telling. I’m all for propaganda. But it should be based in truth, not on talmudic disputation.]

This is all true. Perhaps replace the #whitegenocide hashtag with #racialsuicide? Whites hold the power in our own hands to change the course of events for our race by just making smarter choices and blaming others for our poor choices is not helping.
I was thinking about starting a new cultural critique blog which basically targets counterproductive whites (think Eminem or Ben Affleck). Every post would just be a long insult taking down one of the many stupid things modern whites do that is eroding our culture. It might be too low brow for the #NRx scene but a little light humor now and then helps lighten the mood.

But the argument is not that Blacks should be blamed for the situation, rather, the Genocide is orchestrated from above. At no point did I ascribe intentionality to Blacks per se; I’ve ascribed intentionality to those who allow & invite NAM violence against Whites. Of course they are just being themselves – it’s those who encourage them, knowingly and intentionally, to spill White blood, whom I fault. Muslims in Europe are the weapon; those who invited them are the shooters; both, it goes without saying, don’t belong in the West.

No, Sam. I don’t argue semantics. When people hear “genocide” they think piles of corpses. The only way Cultural Marxists may be convicted of genocide (the deliberate elimination of European peoples) is by adhering to a much more nuanced view, which is in fact not supported by UN declarations. I *agree* it’s genocide, faggot. (Can’t you even read?) It also happens to be the perfectly natural and normal type of genocide that happens all the time when stronger people groups overtake weaker ones.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If you’re going to accuse Cultural Marxists of “genocide” of European peoples, then you must also accept that American and Australian colonists were guilty of it. Maybe they were guilty of it… BUT IT WAS. NO. CRIME. And European peoples should get back to it.

Oh, you can certainly claim that the European treatment of indigenous populations was mildly genocidal – they consider it a crime, Whites consider it a rightful conquest.

You do realize that’s exactly my point, right? I don’t suggest appealing to Cultural Marxists with #WhiteGenocide. Like dude, I just said they can never be reasoned with. This meme is meant to awaken those who would “fight back” or “build their own societies” from their slumber. Does it work? Will dozens of other memes like it work? The jury is still out. Note that those people are not necessarily “the people” at large. An ethnically-conscious minority of intelligent, capable, organized, and determined thought leaders is a prerequisite for change. And like it or not, those people will need followers eventually. If this meme, as silly or inaccurate as you think it is, will instill a tiny seed of doubt in the hearts and minds of future thought leaders or their future followers regarding the Progressive Orthodox Narrative, then it has already succeeded. Is there a White Genocide? The very fact that you ponder this question means that the meme has done its job. Is it self-victimizing / agency-denying? But Cultural Marxists do that all the time, and they keep marching from triumph to another triumph. And now for some Secret Clubhouse Jargon:
NRx can focus on convincing the Brahmins – whatever. That doesn’t mean the Vaisyas should be entirely neglected. How many of them can be convinced with 5,000-word blog posts? Scrap that – your average High Brahmin has an IQ of 120, and I’m being generous. He won’t get Moldbug anyway. I’ll let you in on a little secret: the Inner Party simply doesn’t understand your thoughtcrimes. On the one hand, that allows you to go mostly unnoticed. That Curtis was invited to StrangeLoop in the first place testifies to veracity of my claim. A big scary Nazi wouldn’t have been invited at all. Alas, the other hand is that these very people *cannot* be convinced, because, among other things, they lack the requisite IQ and courage. In their eyes you’ll forever remain “fascist nerds who LARP as aristocrats”.
I don’t know who will be in power when the “Race War” is over. (It hasn’t even begun yet.) I do know that if the other side wins, it won’t be anyone even tangentially related to you.
You wrote: “I wish I could steer you toward more productive uses of your time and talents.” Don’t worry; I believe they don’t go to waste. Your post, however, seems quite unproductive. It won’t gain NRx any new converts, and it may have already alienated some potential right-wing allies. And what was the point – to signal how superior you are to WNs, never-mind that #WhiteGenocide doesn’t even speak to the people you’re trying to convince? That’s an odd tactic you’ve got here, Comrade.

I don’t know if Doolittle is right about the importance of truthtelling, but as far as I have skimmed him, he never omits the necessary condition for a culture of truthtellers (and altruists, universalitst, …) to thrive: Such a culture must have a stellar anti-parasitic immune system.
If you want to derive your morals from Darwin and look into parasitism, you’ll see that parasites usually “win” evolutionary arms races. They’re “stronger” in that regard. But that doesn’t mean the host doesn’t resist, nor does it imply that individual hosts will never succeed. The parasite usually being “stronger” only means that it will succeed with enough host individuals to survive as a species, it doesn’t even imply success with a majority of host individuals.
Equate host individuals with individual cultures. No culture is doomed to succumb to the parasite. It is not “wrong” to resist. It is not “wrong” to expect to win, even though you expect the parasite to be the “stronger” species. That only implies that you must expect the parasite species to survive… somewhere else.
So much for what a Darwinian might conclude. I didn’t take you for one. If I think back about when I heard arguments of the “give up because Darwin” kind, it usually was from a Progressive. Similar to how they love to quote from the Bible to befuddle a Christian.
