       "Heritable ethnotribalism could come from the Turanian blood
       that they have"
       I see. The non inherited part may simply be a pragmatic
       calculation on their part in recognizing (perhaps accurately)
       that "White" blood is the best in preserving Western
       Civilization.
       So to my point, are all those False Leftist Gentiles who
       identify as "White", even those with hypothetically no Turanian
       blood memory, guilty of being racist if they reproduce, when in
       this case they do not have ethnotribalist ancestry?

       If they reproduce involuntarily (e.g. conception via rape), then
       no.
       If they reproduce voluntarily, then yes, because there is no way
       for them to be sure what is in their blood. Why risk it?

       I see. I was wondering if there were other ways to identify
       "white" racists. For example, a person who says "it's ok to be
       white" would be considered a racist, regardless of whether they
       reproduce, right?

       Yes.
       And to answer your earlier question:
       "Also, are we supposed to try and win over these Eurocentrist
       "non-White" Gentiles and False Leftist "White" Gentiles to our
       side through persuasion, in the hopes that they will
       de-Westernize?"
       Hopefully we can get rid of at least the non-heritable part of
       Eurocentrism (ie. the part induced by colonial history). If we
       can get the level of Eurocentrism back down to that which
       existed prior to the beginning of the colonial era, that would
       already be a significant short-term accomplishment. We can be
       sure, however, it this would not be enough for long-term safety:

       What does Aryanism have to say about people who are genuinely
       anti-racist but erroneously and ignorantly identify as 'white'?
       Surely they can be salvaged from Gentilism/Turanism.

       Then by the same token, couldn't we get those with Giant blood
       (and hypothetically no Turanian blood) to unlearn "White"
       ethnotribalism, since we have established that Gentile blood is
       not heritably racist, and also because we know that "Whiteness"
       is an identity induced by Western colonialism?
       Most of the "raceless" racists these seem to be humanists who
       became racist only because of their love of Western
       civilization.

       In theory it should be possible. But though they may not be
       ethnotribalists as such, their Gentile blood memory will still
       cause them to view those without Giant blood as inferior to
       themselves. Therefore they might sincerely join anti-racist
       groups, but then immediately feel that they (rather than
       "non-whites") should be the ones leading them:

       --- Quote ---
       > In film, the white savior is a cinematic trope in which a
       white character rescues people of color from their plight. The
       white savior is portrayed as messianic and often learns
       something about themselves in the process of rescuing.[20] The
       trope reflects how media represents race relations by
       racializing concepts like morality as identifiable with white
       people over nonwhite people.[21] White saviors are often male
       and are sometimes out of place in their own society until they
       lead minorities or foreigners. Screen Saviors: Hollywood
       Fictions of Whiteness labels the stories as fantasies that "are
       essentially grandiose, exhibitionistic, and narcissistic".

       Another psychological motivation behind Giant supremacism might
       be paternalism. Giants view "non-Whites" as "immature",
       "underdeveloped", and hence inferior.

       the West hailed the Greeks as originators of democracy… [but]
       Greeks counted only privileged males as citizens…women were
       excluded. So were slaves, who made up 40 percent of the
       population…. When we look at [Greek states] now we see fragments
       of an oppressive system that made slaves of captives, victims of
       women, battle fodder of men, and scapegoats of failures (132).

       century we find the historian Jacob Burckhardt challenging this
       vision in The Greeks and Greek Civilization: it purposely brings
       out the dark side, the agonal, aggressive nature of Greek
       individuals. The young Nietzsche, too, in his first book
       released in 1872, The Birth of Tragedy, insisted on the
       irrational and mythical forces of Greek Homeric culture. But
       Nietzsche sought to comprehend how these dark primeval elements,
       as I shall be explaining in chapter eight, were inextricably
       related to what was noble and “civilized” in Greece. The
       “interconnectedness” multicultural historians are calling for is
       an ecological idea without connection to the historical context
       of ancient Greece.

       > On the events leading to the Persian-Greek Wars, Armesto
       writes mostly of Greek disunity and of Persian unity and respect
       and generosity. On the actual wars themselves he offers only one
       sentence: “Persia, after testing the difficulties of conquering
       Greece in unsuccessful invasions in 490 and 480 BCE, was
       generally content to keep these enemies divided, while
       prioritizing Persian rule over rich, soft Egypt” (201–2). What
       did Armesto leave out? The context of the Persian-Greek wars:
       firstly, that the Greek cities in Asia Minor had fallen under
       the control of Persia in 546 BC; that there was an organized
       Greek rebellion that spread throughout the Greek cities of Asia
       Minor, which was eventually defeated by the Persians, who went
       on to wipe out Miletus, killing and enslaving everyone.
       Secondly, that the Persians then sent an expedition to punish
       Athens for offering some help to the rebellion, and to control
       the Aegean Sea. Thirdly, he ignored the fact that this
       expedition led to the battle of Marathon, which resulted in a
       defeat for the Persians and demonstrated the superiority of
       hoplite warfare over chariot warfare. Fourthly, that in 481 BC
       the Persian king Xerxes put together an army of one hundred
       fifty thousand men and a navy of six hundred ships set to
       conquer weak, divided, and tiny Greece, and that the Battle of
       Salamis in 481 BC alone was the most significant naval battle of
       the history of the ancient world. And fifth, that while Greece
       was not fully united, and was heavily outnumbered by mighty
       Persia, the Greeks successfully defeated the Persians, setting
       the stage for one of the greatest intellectual periods in human
       history, which might not have occurred had the Persians been
       successful (Strauss 2004).
