Alt-Right Psychology
February 4, 2019
FROM a letter to the editor in the February issue of Culture Wars magazine, available soon here:
Like the narrative put forward by the oligarchs of the West that homosexuals are not culpable for their actions because “they were born this way,” so too the alt-right believes it itself is not morally culpable. Ultimately it’s fine with how those who bring about the “white ethnostate” behave, because the end result is being surrounded by “white people,” and therefore surrounded by “white thinking,” and the culture will then become “high trust” and advanced. This narrative is multi-layered egoism. It proclaims genetic superiority, zero personal moral culpability (unless it hinders the means to the ethnostate end), and runs purely on reactionary hatred in response to the culture war against “white guys.” Truth is, these people don’t want an “ethnostate.” They don’t even understand what ethnos is. What they want is a “biostate.” A state where the “white genes” are protected and cultivated for a mechanical and egoist position. If these genes are cultivated, then the believed end result is a “high trust” and worthwhile society. Adhering to morality, especially if it is perceived to go against the interests of establishing this biostate, is the product of weakness or backwards caveman religiosity, unable to see a greater “abstract morality.”
This is why I roll my eyes when these “white guys” call something “degenerate.” They don’t objectively believe in degeneracy; It is ultimately online macho posturing. It’s fine to be actively and unrepentantly homosexual insofar as that person is helping to bring about “white racial consciousness.” It’s okay if they have issues with drinking, fornicate with non-whites, secretly (or openly in the case of a man called Jayoh on The Daily Shoah) advocate for genocide, insofar as this person is arguably doing something worthwhile for “the cause.” This is why the most accurate description I can think of that coherently connects all internet altright folks together is the ideological term “nihilistic white egoism.” Psychologically, race is viewed as an extension of their own ego in response to the culture war against white guys, and rhetorically, race is suggested to be good entirely due to meaningless chemical mood and comfort elevations in response to genetic inclinations, and that the cultivation of these genes is ultimately what matters.
