But no, White America and White Nations in general were doing fine until they started introducing non-Whites into their countries. All the countries you'd want to live in are de-facto white nationalist. OF course there are other problems too, as societies have always had; economic, social, cultural and the like. But for the most part, the formula worked just fine. But now we lower standards for all because that's what democracy is, that's what equality is. And so humanity must be truly free, so we an be truly miserable.

I am Sandra from California , my husband had an affair with another lady for almost 10 years now and it was the worse thing that ever happened to our marriage. I was forced to take a good hard look at MY behavior in the marriage and I came to realize that I was partly to blame for his affair. I had become emotionally unavailable to him and when something good or bad happened in my life, I called my friends instead of my husband. I had stopped allowing him to love me and to support me and he felt as if I no longer needed him. As a musician on the road with his band, it became to much temptation for him when a girl he met on road became interested in him and was more than available for him emotionally and physically. Once I really started to examine my behavior, I realized that I had as much work to do as he did. When going through all theses problem i came across Dr Iwajowa then i explained things to him. after explanation to him, he told me what to do by bringing back my husband so i decided to follow the rules which he gave to me. Now, My husband cut all tires with his other woman and became committed to working on our marriage to save it. Today, we have a beautiful son, another on the way in a couple weeks, we own our home, and have a fuller, happier life than we ever imagined. After i came across the testimony made by Julie about how this man of spirit brought back her ex husband for more than ten years in marriage. so my if you are in such pain and you don't no what to do you can contact this great man for help i promise you all he will help you the way he helped me so via Email IWAJOWATELLERSPELL@YAHOO.COM or call him +2347030410643Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274859528293052398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-23126998367467716342013-08-13T22:15:41.409-04:002013-08-13T22:15:41.409-04:00Similarly, there is quite a bit of suggestive evid...Similarly, there is quite a bit of suggestive evidence to support the conclusion that many of the valuates and attitudes associated with the CWA culture are caused by low population density. People become conservative in part because this ideology is more functional in rural and small town contexts than it is in high density urban contexts. The many decades long trend of urbanization have moved lots of people from environmental were CWA is a functional culture, to one where it is not. The Internet, counterintuitively, may be the salvation of this culture because it mitigates the necessity of physical proximity in order to be economically productive.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-79462263724494981872013-08-13T22:10:34.730-04:002013-08-13T22:10:34.730-04:00The healthy immigrant hypothesis is well supported...The healthy immigrant hypothesis is well supported and disappears in later generations.

Their culture is at risk of dying off. It isn't that they are at risk of physical death. It is that their children have a significant risk of converting from the regional culture of their parents to the national establishment culture in a mass act of ethnocide. Particularly among the college bound, this has already happened. This is on a par with the mass abandonment of various versions of European paganism in favor of Christianity. There haven't been authentic pagans in unbroken continuity with ancestral pagans of Europe in more than a handful of tiny pockets of people at the European fringe for a dozen centuries. This culture, which was the dominant one in regions that collectively are home to maybe 80-90 million people and close to half of the geographic area of the U.S. for a century and half, is at risk of suffering the same fate. <br /><br />Many of the five points that you identify involve partial cultural conversion from their regional culture to the national establishment culture. This may forward the personal well being of people who were raised as white conservative Americans, but only at the cost of actively advancing the cause of ethnocide.<br /><br />Maybe the Southern white regional culture you describe is so dysfunctional that it doesn't deserve to survive and should be abandoned. But, if the culture itself is to thrive, and not just the people who are living members of the culture today, the set of remedies necessary are very different. <br /><br />For example, this culture has a very difficult time enduring in the absence of governmental authority to establish religion. This culture is very hard pressed to continue without socially legitimate gender discrimination (which is a key part of how this culture prevents families from falling apart). This culture needs to back away from a zero tolerance for violence in interpersonal dealings that is inconsistent with its culture of honor and can turn its cultural heroes into criminals.<br /><br />This isn't to say that there are ways that this culture can transform itself that fit with its own internal logic to reform itself to become more viable. For example, in this culture, recasting environmental protection arguments into arguments about carrying out a divinely ordained right and obligation to be a good steward of resources for future generations may play better than "save the whales." This culture's distrust of government is also not monolithic - this is a culture that trusts the county sheriff and the military, for example. This is a culture that is afraid of diversity of ideas that could threaten its hegemony as much as diversity of physical race - if you talk and think like them, you can be embraced by them despite the difference in the color of your skin (e.g. Jindal). But, if this culture is to survive (not necessarily a good thing) it can probably only do so by not trying to play the cultural success game on a playing field where the rules are set by the dominant establishment culture and not internally as it has been since Reconstruction. Since getting off this playing field is profoundly difficult, the doom and gloom about the end of the world for this culture is well founded and very hard to head off.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-10998239768174460852013-08-13T20:59:40.432-04:002013-08-13T20:59:40.432-04:00An anti-white invective penned by an international...An anti-white invective penned by an internationalist Jew.<br /><br />Now THERE'S something ya don't see every day.<br /><br />YAWN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-45587713647915881532013-08-12T11:36:32.298-04:002013-08-12T11:36:32.298-04:00How nice -- elite liberal white America is doing f...<i>How nice -- elite liberal white America is doing fine, but dumb white rednecks need to change.</i><br /><br />Yes.

As Bloomburg reports: "So what’s the outlook today for next year’s congressional elections? Republicans will hold the U.S. House, conceivably even adding to their 233-to-200 majority. They seem certain to pick up U.S. Senate seats, with an outside chance to gain the half-dozen needed for control." Why should they worry? They are still successful and having a decisive influence on American politics. No evaluation of the Grand strategy is necessary at this time. <br /><br />Piermont Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863603748602735174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-87992280753541475992013-08-10T13:55:36.291-04:002013-08-10T13:55:36.291-04:00I'm sorry but I don't follow...
