RACISM

Well, you know, pointing out our differences is all well and good. I want to preserve my culture and my extended family and our gene pool too. And I certainly prefer to sacrifice and contribute to my gene pool rather than someone elses. I can’t imagine anything more moral and ethical than that. And I certainly respect the data that shows homogenous societies are superior to diverse societies in every respect.

But those statements are in the context of city states and a barrier to political participation. With political participation, minorities can attempt to use the state to redistribute status, and with that, create friction and civil conflict that if conducted in the market would be beneficial, but conducted in politics is nothing but destructive.

I am all for africa for africans, south american for natives, asia for asia, and every other blend of people’s on earth. But I’d also like europe for europeans. And that’s because there is in fact something very special about our culture, or we would not have started the industrial revolution in greece, and restarted in britain.

So the moral argument is that the ultimate imperative is not redistribution, it is to create an environment where all extended families can compete in the market according to their abilities, biase and preferences without relying on majority tyranny to oppress one another.

WHile I don’t feel guilty for the white man’s burden so to speak: I am happy that we dragged humanity out of ignorance and poverty with consumer capitalism and as the remainder of the world reluctantly secularized into the corporeal consumer capitalist system, I think westerners should take credit for it. No matter how badly they did it. No one changes the world easily and we destroyed our civilization in the process. if there is any price to be paid we have paid it.

No more guilt. Ever.
