Entry: Further Notes on Nationalism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/further_notes_on_nationalism#23553 Post contents: 1. Forget for a minute that there’s not such thing as a “white” race, a “black” race, or a “yellow” race – all an insalubrious fairy tale told my a fool named Arthur de Gobeneau. Forget that there isn’t something called “race” at all. (There is, of course, a spectrum of skin color based on a degree of melanin, as there is a spectrum of eye color – and equally unimportant.) What really counts is a history and its product: a culture. The only product of skin color is sunburn. A culture can be shared; skin color can’t. Reason enough to reject something so risible as “White Nationalism”. 2. Culture is always a mixture propositions, achievements, habits, and loves. Get used to it. I got here too late to read the Browns’ filth and defamation of Dr. Wolf. I thank the editor for his deletions. Just yesterday I had come to the judgement that the effort to bounce out of the bar our Antisemites had failed, only the gutter variety in fact having been removed, and the more “upper drawer” having abided. Antisemitic filth, even expressed in dulcet tones and mellifluous words, remains filth. Yet so far most of today’s writebacks are avoiding such filth altogether. Good. 3. Hey, gang, why aren’t we popping the champagne corks? Our team just won one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_general_election,_2008. I’d like to hear come Takimag commentary. My favorite party, the League of the North, has come roaring back, much to the chagrin of the Neocon and Cultural Marxist press. The Commies for the first time since 1945 are out of the Parliament. Ditto the Greens. Granted, the economic way ahead for Italy is burdensome, given the need to compete in a world market, providing products that people want to buy at a price they can pay.
