    Not sure why you’re raising that objection. Someone asked me to state the first principles of western civilization from its origin, and explain it. I did.

    @quantifyqualify
    FYI:
    WHY IS WHITENESS SO HARD: BECAUSE IT’S COSTLY.

    If you make a list of every country, and you list every bit of even vaguely useful data about the people in each country in a huge spreadsheet you would learn that there is one number that explains all the rest.

    (a) There were four speciation events as man evolved and spread around the world.
    (b) Each event increased local neoteny (domestication)
    (c) Increases in neoteny exchange aggression and sexual maturity for agency and neural plasticity.
    (e) As a result, the different continental speciation events resulted in different class distributions.
    (d) The result is differences in average of approximately 75, 85, 100, 105 and everything in between, with 100 being European (central).
    (e) In the agrarian age, every civilization developed institutions to assist with social order at scale.
    (f) There are only three means of coercion. So there are only three axes of institutions Social (religion, feminine, non-aggression), reciprocal (trade, contract, law, neutral) and Forceful (state, military, masculine)
    (g) The order of these institutions determines the strongest, next strongest, and weak or failed institution.
    (h) each of these institutions adapts at different speeds.
    (i) Each civilization develops a group strategy, metaphysics, myth, history, a system of logic and argument, and institutions of intergenerational persistence.
    (j) These strategies, institutions, and demographics are self-reinforcing over the millennia. And they are very resistant to change.
    (k) And they demand vastly different responsibilities from each member of each society, and each class or caste.
    So whether genetic, class, or cultural, or some combination thereof, the trust necessary for western high trust civilization seems impossible for others to develop unless they fully integrate and can achieve middle-class status.
    Add that our postwar privilege of being the only civilization left standing, raised laboring and working classes into the lower class, then the 70s ended that privilege, and the 90s exhausted it, and 2010s backtracked it, then you have people in the states (and Europe) who are ‘not happy’ with the responsibility they must bear, given the returns they will no longer obtain.
    Worse, the Marxist-pomo-woke cult that James is disrobing in gory detail consists of little more than promising that this genetic, class, cultural, and economic reality is oppression rather than their unfitness for competition in the new world normal. And worse, they vaguely sense (correctly) that over the next decade or two it’s going to get far, far worse, and the world far, far poorer. Because the USA cannot afford to maintain the global trade system if we must compete with other civilizations that want to end it.

    That’s enough for now
    And no this wasn’t any effort to write. 😉
    And Grammarly largely kept up even if it slowed the keyboard response time. 😉
    -Cheers

    Of course.
    Why?
    Why the war on ‘whiteness’ (western civ)?
    It requires more responsibility at the highest emotional and psychological cost and material risk of all other civilizations combined. It’s hard. It’s also the least deviating from the laws of nature, and those laws aren’t kind.
    Do you know why western man can displace but not colonize like China and Islam?
    The rest of the world can’t do it. They can’t do ‘whiteness’.
    Why?
    The answer is painful.

    Well, technically, celt-iberians, germanics, scandinavians, balto-slavics, and those anatolians in greece, southern italy, and sardinia, their residues, and those of hunter gatherers that remain.

    So we can’t blame the Celts for everything. 😉

    I think he was mistaken in the sense that rapid technological innovation was just another means of that aryan expression. AFAIK everything ‘bad’ is the result of the failure to retain monarchies as judges of last resort, failure to maintain militaries and monarchy and state separate from domestic government, and tolerance instead of an Albigensian crusade of extermination of the entire Jewish marxist to woke war against our civilization in the repetition of the Jewish Christian war against ancient civilization.

    We’re too kind. 🙁
