Hammers Thor posted a very well thought out position on the value of amicable conversation and debate. I entirely agree with his position. In the course of his post he wrote, “I am concerned that Divide and Conquer may be in play here, and that our own divide is not organic.” History confirms his concern to be real. Mixing different races, religions, and cultures together weakens each and that is the intent of the tyrant, empire, or conqueror. It is not organic, but the admitted plan of the Globalists.
The United States of America was established by dissident Europeans. Up until very recently, the commanding majority of Americans were of European descent. Even the fact that Americans were almost universally the same race and religion, and even though the cultural differences largely disappeared in the American melting pot, we still had problems based on ideology. Importing radically incompatible cultures and races has only exacerbated the societal and ideological divisions.
The question becomes, how do we restore our nation with the vast diversity that we have allowed to invade our homeland? Trump made promises to remove many of the ‘outlanders,’ so far a promise mostly unfulfilled. I would suggest that a return to Folkishness may be the answer. If so, it would require that we revive freedom of association which has been made largely illegal in our modern age. So what is Folkishness?
The following (in italics) was taken from a post by Imperium Press.
Folkishness has a functional definition, what people generally take it to mean—folkishness is functionally “in-group preference”. When you say you are folkish, that means that you are exclusionist along the lines of identity, usually ethnicity or ancestry. When Somalis come to America, they practice in-group preference, so do those from India and other lands. They build in-group preference communities. They are folkish.
Pre-modernity, the family was the core of society. Strong families gathered in clans which gathered in tribes which eventually became nations. A nation cannot be strong without strong tribes, clans, and families. The globalists have destroyed all that up to and including the nations.
Once we understand the earthward relationship of priority in identities (family > clan > tribe etc.), we understand that anyone who does want to recover the nation must first recover the folk; whoever wants to recover the folk must recover the tribe, and so on.
I mentioned, above, the problems we have had with ideology. My contention is that if we develop a strong folk, ideology would be much less a problem, as history seems to show.
Folkishness is pre-ideological, but it also makes moral demands of us, which puts it near the realm of ideology. Let us say something about the relation between ideology, morality, and tradition.
- Folkishness is an attitude or disposition toward pre-political identity.
- Tradition is the cultural expression of pre-political identity, which includes morality.
- Ideology is a simplification or reduction of morality.
A return to Folkishness will not be easy, but it could be the answer.
Imperium Press offers a deeper explanation of Folkishness.
