[Accordian music]
Hey everyone!
Since Alt-Right identitarians value free speech and debate so much, I think it's really
important that we keep an open dialo—
[drone]
So Nazis flagged my video, "Why White Nationalism Is Wrong," and it's now in restricted
mode and unwatchable in a lot of countries.
Now it's a year-old video, I'm the wrong gender in it, and I would have been perfectly happy
to let it just fade into obscurity, but they had to go and flag it, and anything they want
to silence I want to amplify.
So I've reedited the video and removed all hate symbols, and hopefully that will appease
the censor.
Otherwise, I've left the video unchanged.
My name has always been Natalie, don't you remember?
[drone]
[Wagner]
Proud sons of the north!
My training is complete.
So you may remember, in my video about alpha males, I responded to a guy called The Golden One.
Surprise flex!
I'm ready to begin the training.
[Heart, "Alone"]
...today I want to discuss the Jewish question...
You're a goddamn fascist!
In that video I said that I wasn't going to argue against White Nationalism.
I just assumed that it was wrong.
And of course that's pretty irritating to White Nationalists, who want to bait me into
arguing with them.
[reading onscreen text]
So in this video I want to go through the exercise of explaining exactly what's wrong with White
Nationalism, both to clear myself of the accusation of relying only on "insults" and, possibly,
to persuade some people who may sympathize with white nationalist views.
Now, the conventional leftist wisdom is that you shouldn't argue with white nationalists
because it grants them a kind of legitimacy when you give them a seat at the discussion
table.
But at this point I think a lot of people privately or publicly hold white nationalist
views already, and the public may never hear strong arguments against them.
Also, speaking as a [bleep], alcoholic transsexual with less than a third the YouTube subscribers
of the second largest channel about the lives of ants, I think the danger of my being the
one to catapult white nationalism into mainstream acceptability is pretty remote.
So, in this video I'm not going to use the words "racist" and "Nazi" (even though those
are completely fair and accurate descriptions).
I don't need to insult these fascist fucks because I believe that reason will prevail.
So, in this video I'm going to remain at all times rational, calm, relaxing, soothing.
[whispering] Why d on't you just lie back and relax and I'm going to crinkle this
page I tore out of Mein Kampf, and we can just have a nice, soothing conversation about
the wave of far-right extremism sweeping through Europe.
Sk sk sk sk sk.
Sk sk sk sk sk.
Jews.
Part 1: White Nationalism with a Friendly Face
The Golden One's recent videos are all about how to be a good representative for the nationalist
cause, that is, how to tone down the, uh—can't say Nazi—the sinister, crackpot aspects
of the program.
And apparently that means wearing a suit, not jacking off, and, protecting the racial
purity of Skyrim.
[The Golden One] "Skyrim belongs to the Nords!"
It also means trying to distance the movement from idea that it's based on racial hate,
something White Nationalists have been doing for a long time.
Here's the website of a group called the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which
seems to have been designed around the same time as the promotional website for the 1996
movie Space Jam.
The website promises to "dispel some of the lies told about us by the liberal news
media.
Let me start by addressing the repeated falsehood that we are a HATE GROUP.
Let me assure you that nothing could be further from the truth.
We do not hate any group of people!
We hate drugs, homosexuality, abortion and race-mixing, because these things go against
God's law and they are destroying all white nations."
So this sounds pretty similar to the The Golden One's bizarre cocktail of not drinking,
not coming, not having sex with brown people, and generally shunning everything worth doing.
Minus the Christianity, plus a little light High Fantasy Odinism.
My Nordic masculinity has grown as firm and robust as the hammer of Thor.
Really?
Has it?
Stormfront admin Jack Boot, who's definitely not a Nazi, posts a White Nationalism FAQ
from the 90s where it's explained that "The desire of White Nationalists to form their
own nation has nothing to do with superiority or inferiority….
In fact, formation of a White nation removes any possibility of White dominance of other
races, as well as the plausibility of the accusation that Whites wish to dominate others."
So this is the standard White Nationalist PR move.
You say: "What?
Hate group?"
"That's not us, that's not what we're about!"
"We're just just a bunch of God-loving folks who take pride in our own people, and
where's the harm in that?
Part 2: Where's the Harm in That
So we've got the KKK pretending to stand
up for diversity, Stormfront users with Nazi—I mean, uh, traditional right-wing extremist?—symbology
claiming not to be white supremacists, and the Golden One saying that poor maligned Hitler
didn't actually hate the Jews.
[The Golden One] "Now a lot of mere mortals with a pleb-tier understanding of the world
say, like, 'Hitler hated Jews.'
No, he actually didn't.
If you think he did ask yourself, why did he have a Jewish chauffeur and bodyguard?
Why were there so many Jews fighting in the Wehrmacht?
Hitler's battle was against international Jewry, international finance."
I hope none of you are buying any of this.
Still, I think perhaps the Golden One raises an important point.
Namely, is the main problem with Hitler really that he hated the Jews?
I mean, I think just about everyone harbors racial animosity of some kind.
In my case I happen to hate the Belgians.
Fuck this waffle.
But the point is not what your private emotions are so much as what you do with them.
So it's not hate per se that's the problem, so much as the politics it produces.
It's what Hitler did and said that distinguishes him.
And what he did is kill all the European Jews.
And why'd he do that?
Well, in the name of purging Europe of all non-Aryan peoples, which is precisely the
goal of white nationalism.
Now I know people are going to say, see, you're just resorting to talking about Nazis and
the holocaust!
Argument ad Hitlerum!
To which I respond that when the subject at had is ethnic cleansing inspired by anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories, Nazis and the Holocaust are pretty goddamn relevant, wouldn't you
say?
And of course I realize that isn't going to be very convincing to White Nationalists,
since most of these fucking people are holocaust deniers, and if the overwhelming evidence
described by pretty much every academic historian who looks at the issue isn't enough to convince
them that it happened, I doubt that anything I can say will be.
When you're so deep in a conspiracy theory that all opposing evidence is immediately
dismissed as some kind of Jewish hoax, well, there's not much arguing with you.
Though I have to wonder why people whose explicit goal is the ethnic cleansing of so-called
white nations find it so impossible to believe that other people with that exact same goal
actually took a swing at it.
Now, White Nationalists will tell you that ethnic cleansing can actually be non-violent.
After all, couldn't non-whites simply be peacefully banished from so-called white nations?
Well, no.
There are around 39 million African Americans and 57 million Hispanic people in the United
States alone.
Where are they going to go?
What will the people in the new places think about welcoming oh, a hundred million refugees?
I mean, even Nazi—uh I mean, Alt-Right Germany?—began with non-violent methods of coercing Jewish
emigration.
It was only later that it escalated to attacks on their property, ghettoization, mass incarceration,
and finally extermination.
So excuse me for not feeling very reassured.
That Stormfront FAQ proposes that white Americans could simply cede lost territory and move
to uninhabited lands.
And you know guys, I think that is a great idea.
Why don't you all move to your little colony in Wyoming, and leave everyone else alone.
Don't take your computers with you, and delete your social media accounts.
Because that is a Jewish invention.
Part 3: Whiteness Traditionally, Nationalism is a political
ideology that places the communal identification with a nation or people at the center of politics.
National identity usually involves a shared language, history and geographical locus.
So, while, say, German nationalism or Japanese nationalism are both terrible political philosophies,
they at least kind of make sense, insofar as there's sort of such a thing as the German
people or the Japanese people.
White Nationalism on the other hand, is way less coherent, because Whiteness is an amorphous
and fairly recent social construct.
At the time of the Roman Empire, different ethnic groups living in Europe would never
have recognized themselves as belonging to the same race.
To Ancient Romans, Gauls, Saxons and Celts, the idea that all Europeans belong to one
people would have been about as palatable then as the idea that Africans and Europeans
belong to the same race is to contemporary, uh, meme-based alternative ethnocentrists?
But the Golden One mixes Nordic, Celtic and Greco-Roman imagery together as if all historical
European ethnicities are interchangeable.
But this is a fictional unification that only makes sense under the relatively modern concept
of "whiteness."
And if you unweave that fictional unity, it becomes pretty hard to take seriously the
utopian vision of a unified white nation.
As recently as the 20th century, Irish people were treated as a kind of racial underclass
in England and the US.
And Nazi race theory divided the European race into at least five sub-races, of which
only the Nordic were considered the master race.
So what makes white nationalists think that these kinds of race conflicts won't reemerge
in a new white ethnostate obsessed with racial purity?
And all this is to say nothing of the fact that having even the purest European ancestry
is still not enough to guarantee your membership in the category of whiteness.
If you're Jewish, you're out.
[Curb Your Enthusiasm theme]
If you're a race traitor, you're out.
If you're a degenerate beta-leftist pleb-tier subhuman dog, you're out.
Because being a good white person also apparently involves doing squats and not taking drugs
or masturbating, which is all part of what the Golden One calls Race of Spirit.
[The Golden One] "The Race of Spirit, as it were.
So all whites obviously aren't equal, and I don't want anyone to think I love all
whites so much just because the way they're born.
There are subhumans of all races, to quote Joseph Goebbels.
This is all so convoluted and abstract.
It seems like what White Nationalists really care about is the idea of whiteness, not actual
white people, most of whom they seem not to regard very highly.
[The Golden One] "There are plenty of subhuman, degenerate, pleb-tier whites, such as this
guy right here.
You can see, oh, this is a white guy, but you can also see on him that he is inferior when
it comes to the spirit."
I fucked an Argonian.
And this brings us nicely to our next topic.
Part 4: How to fuck an Argonian...
...as a trans woman
[orgasm moan]
Part 4: White Genocide
So the central of idea of modern White Nationalist theory is that white people need their own
ethnostates in order to prevent something called White Genocide.
So what the fuck is white genocide?
Well, genocide is usually defined as the attempt to exterminate an entire ethnic or religious
group.
But white nationalists use the term to refer to the immigration of non-white people into
majority white nations.
So you can see how that's not really genocide, because instead of people being killed it's just like, there's more of
a different group of people being…
man this is so fucking stupid I don't even know how to start arguing with it.
Well look, one way we could think of this is in terms of historical genocides that began
with new migrants.
So for instance the Europeans who settled North America took over native land, they
killed and enslaved native populations, they forcibly imposed their own government and religion.
And that's what a genocide looks like.
So the question to ask is, are Muslim or Hispanic immigrants killing and enslaving millions
of whites, are they forcing whites to convert to their religions and speak their language
at gunpoint?
No.
They're not.
Basically the fear of white genocide is the unfounded fear that non-white people are going
to treat whites as badly as they've historically treated others.
Now I want to reiterate that it seems like what white nationalists are really worried
about defending isn't actual white people, but the idea of whiteness.
And things like race-mixing threaten that idea.
Miscegenation doesn't muddy anyone's blood; that's just not an actual thing.
What it muddies is the already pretty sketchy concept of whiteness.
And I should say that if I really thought that American or Swedish culture was dying
out, I actually would be kind of sad about it.
If the English language, for instance, was in decline, I'd say, yeah, we should do
something to save it.
But what's happening is exactly the opposite.
I mean, European, and especially Anglophone culture is the most dominant in the entire world.
English is spoken all over India and Africa, it's taught in Chinese schools, it's the
lingua franca of the Internet.
So this whole thing is preposterous.
You're taking the most dominant, the most imperialistic culture in the world, and you're
saying this is the one we really need to be worried about.
And that, I mean… goddamn.
I'm 28 years old. I have a master's degree in philosophy.
Why am I arguing on the Internet with this golden man?
My cousin is out fighting dragons.
And what do I get?
Nazis.
Part 5: Concluding Remarks
White Nationalism is an affront to everything
good about Western civilization.
Ideas like individual freedom and religious tolerance are the best products of European
political thought.
Though white supremacists in practice, the founders of the United States designed a society
capable of tolerating a diversity of thought, speech, and custom, and a franchise that includes
people of different origins and religions.
White nationalism wants to tear it all down for the sake of some communitarian ethnostate in which
skin color is citizenship and dissent is treason.
White Nationalism is therefore incompatible with the values of liberal democracy, to an
extent perhaps only rivaled by Political Islam.
At least in theory.
In practice, White Nationalist ideas are much more dangerous to liberal values in Western
countries, since they have way more influence here over governments and institutions than
Islamism does.
So I don't care whether you wear a suit, if you insist you don't hate other races, or
if you veil your ideas in irony and memes.
White Nationalism is wrong, immoral and nonsensical, and it has no place in liberal societies except
in the way that, say, Islamism does, as a kind of fringe test of the limits of toleration.
And, The Golden One, if you're watching this, we can't really be friends as long
as a you're like this.
And I don't expect you to ever change your mind, but I want to say that if you do,
well, I'll be waiting for you, in some faraway tavern of degeneracy with a horn of mead.
[Skyrim theme remix]
I actually love the Belgians I'm so sorry.
