[quote]The belief that whites are objectively superior beings,
that by any fair measure, they come out ‘supreme.’ That whites
are the best. That we are the best race and have the credentials
to prove it.
Is this true or false? First of course we must decide on what
objective measures we will be using, to decide if we are
superior or inferior. Let’s look at some simple ones then.
Standard of Living. Whites have the highest standard of living
in the world, we are indeed supreme at affording ourselves the
very best lifestyle. Roll out a map of the world, color it in
with ‘wealth, freedom, longevity, lack of corruption’ or any
other objective measure, and white countries will come out the
highest.[/quote]
I wonder how you got it:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/colonial-era/
And "lack of corruption"?! Sure, when the colonialists are in
charge of the investigation!
[quote]Human Accomplishment is another objective measure we
could use. Let’s go back through history and color the map of
the world based on who did what. Again, you’ll get a few
scattered good things in japan, china, or wherever—-and then a
massive, dense, overwhelming scatterplot of white countries
accomplishing virtually everything. Art, music, literature,
math, science, technology, whatever you want, you will find it
absolutely dominated by whites. Again, whites are supreme in
their ability to accomplish, they take the cake by far. Read
Charles Murray’s Human Accomplishment if there’s any further
doubt of this objective fact. ‘white good, non-white
bad.’[/quote]
So, what did all this 'accomplishment' bring to the world?

Continuing:
[quote]The beauty of white women is supreme. Modeling magazines
continuously find that white women sell, non-white women don’t,
even in the non-white world. Commercials, billboards, and
marriage online dating services, all feature lighter-skinned
women even within their own race than their average skin tone.
Young black children prefer playing with white dolls over black
dolls, because they look better. White children, of course, are
instinctively averse to non-white dolls, and when they grow up,
refuse to miscegenate on the whole, at a vastly higher rate than
non-whites who would love nothing better than to find a white
woman. ‘white good, non-white bad.’[/quote]
Aesthetical Eurocentrism is a psychological sickness among
formerly colonized peoples that we are trying to cure:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/psychological-decolonization/
In any case, popular opinion does not imply objective truth.
[quote]What about our physical, martial, and athletic prowess?
Again, whites are supreme. The vast majority of the Summer and
Winter Olympic Medalists are white, even though we are only 8%
of the world population. This is just a hands down victory for
the physical superiority of whites. Include any other sports, as
many extra sports as you please, we would still come out on top.
Whether it’s our teamwork, intelligence, strength, tenacity, or
skill, somehow whites come out on top objectively, beyond all
debate, so that’s that. What about war? On the battlefield,
whites are again utterly dominant. Whites have rarely lost a war
to non-whites, not in the long run, and we have with
ridiculously small numbers routed non-white armies over and over
again. The boxer rebellion, for instance, was put down handily
by a handful of whites (and japanese). The mongols conquered
china easily but lost to the not even united Europe (and to
japan.) India was conquered by a handful of british troops
against giant Indian armies. The same is true in africa, and the
conquistadores against the Incas and Aztecs accomplished similar
marvels. The exchange rate between the USA and Japan, almost 10
to 1, showed again white superiority over even the best of the
non-whites. And while the Roman Empire and the Greeks defeated
Persia over and over again and took over much of the middle
east, no Persians, Arabs, or middle easterners ever conquered
Europe. The Ottomans gave the best shot and even they couldn’t
beat a dis-united Europe with various countries all still
squabbling among themselves. Europe paid so little attention to
these non-white aggressors that they still spent all their time
fighting each other—-and STILL won. If one could ever imagine a
‘white army’ fighting as one against the non-white world, can
anyone imagine anything but a smashing victory? Remember a few
white texans took out the vastly larger mexican army, and the
US-Mexico war was another easy victory for whites, that the
boers at blood river defeated endless hordes of spear-chuckers,
and that the US (or even the early settlers and pilgrims)
traditionally defeated amerindians no matter what the odds over
and over in our expansion westward. When it comes to the most
basic measure of fitness, war and violent conflict, whites are
supreme. It’s undebatable. We win, they lose, we are the best
warriors of all time. ‘white good, non-white bad.’[/quote]
See you on the battlefield. I will deliberately not rebut this
paragraph as I prefer our troops overestimate rather than
underestimate the enemy. Maybe then our troops will take things
more seriously:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/firearms/
Continuing:
[quote]So what is the use of not calling a spade a spade? The
supreme race, the race that comes out on top in any competition,
any measure of human fitness, any quality we respect, is the
white race. We are the wealthiest, strongest, most accomplished,
most beautiful race on earth. Objectively. Undeniably. Therefore
anyone who even looks at the facts, anyone white or not, must
through sheer logic and rationality, be a white supremacist.
Whites are supreme, and therefore, anyone who acknowledges this
fact, must be a white supremacist, by simple definition. Anyone
who validates reality or cares about the truth, is a white
supremacist, whether white or not, they must admit the
superiority of the white race, as a whole, over any other.
[/quote]
You are objectively, undeniably superior at ruining the world.
[quote]Does white supremacism make any distinction between
wishing whites well defensively versus aggressively? No, it does
not. Objectively speaking, wanting the survival of the fittest,
‘may the best man win,’ would of course imply wishing to see
whites spread and grow and flourish, as the truest inheritors of
perfection, there would be no desire to see it stay at 8% of the
world’s population, while failed, imperfect, shoddy hominids of
others sorts were 92%. It would be seen as a horrible travesty,
if whites stayed on earth perfectly defensively, keeping all
their current land, while non-whites went off to colonize the
universe. It would be a moral failure to not afford the best
people the best chance at life. To not reward greatness with
material goods, to somehow grovel and inch along on the edges
and dregs of existence while placating our lessers and inferiors
with all the fruits and pleasures of life. If we are better, we
deserve better, and should get better, than our inferiors. This
same logic extends not just between the races, but between
species. Superior species deserve better and more than inferior
ones, like bugs, rodents, bacteria, and cockroaches. Just as
humans deserve the lion’s share of resources and happiness and
rights over non-humans, and bugs and germs deserve the least and
worst spot in life, just as human interests trump non-human
interests, the objectively superior white race deserves the
lion’s share of the world, and the dregs should go to the dregs.
If we were superior, but deserved nothing more, then what would
being superior mean? What would it all be for? Are we seriously
supposed to divide the world equally between apes and man?
Between mud huts and skyscrapers?[/quote]

of North and South America, Australia, South Africa, and New

flowering of the greatest race receiving its just reward, the
greatest share of world population. It was matching our
excellence to our rewards, our achievements to our population,
our supremacy to our property. I submit to you that it was moral

Hong Kong and Macao good things? Wasn’t Perry opening up trade

essence remains the same, defensive or offensive, what we

their power and success in the world. There can be no morality
that artificially, arbitrarily draws a line and says ‘white rule

I agree with this last part. This also implies if it's bad, it's
bad anywhere and everywhere. My conclusion is that "white" rule
is immoral everywhere. This much was clear from the moment you

[quote]An Elementary School Teacher’s Secret Life As A White
Nationalist Writer
...
“Sinclair Jenkins,” HuffPost has now confirmed, is really a
pseudonym for Benjamin Welton, a 33-year-old Boston University
history PhD candidate who, until this week, taught English,
social studies and computer science at Star Academy, an
elementary school in Massachusetts. When HuffPost contacted the
school for comment, Welton was put on leave, and was fired
shortly before this article was published.
...
“No mercy for our enemies. Do not weep, for they are not human,”
Welton wrote in a pseudonymous social media post on March 31,
seven months into his job as an elementary school teacher.
“Treat those who want to abolish ‘whiteness’ with the same venom
if not more. They deserve medieval punishments.”
Like many conservatives, Welton has expressed anger about the
teaching of “critical race theory” in American schools. Last
August, shortly before he began teaching at the Star Academy, he
tweeted under a pseudonym that a return to American greatness
“requires defunding critical race theory.” It’s clear from his
pseudonymous writings where his real objection lies: criticism
of white people.
“I now try to inject race realism into my working life,” he
wrote as Jenkins in the 2017 American Renaissance article. “When
I teach my students or write papers, I refuse to engage in
cultural Marxism or in anti-white rhetoric.”
...
Welton was not only the man behind the bylines “Sinclair
Jenkins,” but also “Jake Bowyer” and “Elias Kingston.” His
writing had started to generate interest among major figures on
the far right.

Don't you think Welton actually looks like the main character in
the above video?
[quote]Though Welton often employed pseudonyms, on other
occasions he simply used his real name in far-right
publications.
In 2018, he wrote a racist article called “Against Education”
for a far-right blog called The American Sun without using a
pseudonym.
“Your typical man on the street in America 2018 A.D. will come
up with a small catalog of answers about what to do with our
education system,” Welton wrote. “The race realist will speak of
declining worldwide IQs and America’s increasing mongrelization
driven by unassimilated races with below-average intelligence
capacities.” (That same year Welton, writing under the name
“Sinclair Jenkins” called himself a “race realist” in American
Renaissance.)
Welton’s article argued that education should largely be
reserved for geniuses — of which he seems to consider himself —
not for the general, dumber public. “There is not a Rembrandt
hidden in each booger-eater, and the next Tesla is not currently
marching toward the U.S. border from Guatemala,” he
wrote.[/quote]
And that is something to feel relieved about.
[quote]Welton clearly expresses excitement about the
“alternative right,” a rebranding of white nationalism, writing
that the movement had “taken the fight to the left in the best
way possible,” adding, “Rather than concede the moral high
ground to the left, the alt right turns the left’s moralism on
its head and makes it a badge of honor to be called ‘racist,’
‘homophobic,’ and ‘sexist.’”
A year later, in December 2016, The Daily Caller published a
virulently Islamophobic screed by Welton titled “The European
Quandary,” in which he lashed out at different European
countries for allowing in Muslim refugees.
...
“We are unabashedly European. We support Europa, Christendom,
and her children scattered across the colonies. Our enemy is
materialism; our enemy is liberalism. But we are not driven by
hate, but rather by creativity.”[/quote]
I agree. As I keep saying, hate is a leftist emotion. We on the
True Left make it a badge of honour to be called hateful. If
someone can watch the above video and not hate the main
character, what does that say about them? In contrast, the main
character clearly does not hate any of his victims. He just
wants to create stuff using them.

The periodic table is astonishing partly because it manages to
capture so much with so little. If I look around me at the
moment, I see a huge variety of things, from sea-shells to
books, from memory-sticks to egret feathers. But everything I
see is made from just three things: protons, neutrons and
electrons. At the conscious level, there’s endless variety. At
the sub-atomic level, there’s endless repetition. If the protons
in the egret feathers were swapped with the same number of
protons in the books, it would be impossible to detect any
change. Ditto for the neutrons and electrons, and ditto for any
other pair of material objects, no matter how superficially
different. The periodic table is a kind of cookbook for matter,
listing the recipes used by Mother Nature to rustle up a
lustrous weighty solid like silver or a poisonous swirling gas
like chlorine from exactly the same ingredients.
But it wasn’t easy to uncover the unifying simplicity of the
periodic table. It’s not just a cookbook: it’s a monument to
human intelligence, ingenuity, obsession and effort. Or rather,
it’s a monument to those things as displayed by White males.
Take a survey of the periodic table like Jack Challoner’s
excellent The Elements: The Ultimate Guide to the Building
Blocks of Our Universe (2012). Reading about the blocks, you
won’t come across any Blacks. Instead, the names of stale pale
males occur on almost every page, beginning with the Frenchman
Antoine Lavoisier (1743–94), the Englishman John Dalton
(1766–1844) and the Russian Dmitri Mendeleev (1834–1907).
...
The first two helped lay the foundations of modern chemistry and
the last devised its recipe-book: the periodic table. Then stale
pale males like the New Zealander Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937)
helped explain the patterns of the periodic table. Hundreds of
other stale pale males, and a few stale pale females like the
great Pole Marie Curie (1867–1934), helped to fill in the table
by extracting and refining elements from substances as diverse
as slag, seaweed and fresh air. And by detecting one in sunlight
before it was found on earth. If the elements are the
building-blocks of the universe, then you could say that the
scientists who explained and uncovered them were leading
block-lives. And block-lives matter in a way that mainstream
politics and culture presently refuse to admit.
For example, here’s a curious thing: four of those elements –
the obscure but sometimes important ytterbium, yttrium, terbium
and erbium – were named from the small Swedish village of
Ytterby. It wasn’t just that they were found in a quarry there:
Swedes and other Scandinavians worked to extract them from
reluctant minerals. And vanadium is named from a Norse goddess
and holmium from the Swedish capital Stockholm. Scandinavian men
have contributed more to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
Mathematics) than all Blacks who ever lived, despite being
vastly outnumbered by Blacks. In other words, even as chemistry
was unifying heaven and earth, it was disuniting humanity,
because scientific talent and success haven’t been evenly
distributed among the diverse groups of humanity.
White European males were necessary for the creation of modern
science and might have been entirely sufficient.[/quote]

Bonus question: would Israel exist today if the periodic table
had never existed?
