Make Britain a class-based society again

Very offensive and racist comments on the UK riots

I’m in England, quite likely for some time. We came on our biennial summer holiday to see family, though for longer than normal, since it seemed as likely that war would break out over summer as at any time, and it looks like we made the right bet. Things in Israel are sufficiently grave that it would be entirely inappropriate for me to write about that using the thick layer overwrought internet humour and immature sarcasm that I rely on to mask my poverty of thought and inartfulness of expression (yes, that is a word, get bent, spellcheck).¹ So, I thought I’d write about the UK riots.

Now, that’s not to say I have some special insight on these riots because I’m currently holed up inside while marauding mobs throw cans of Stella at the pigs.² No-one is rioting where I’m staying, or anywhere remotely close to where I’m staying, because the place I’m staying isn’t a turdbucket. It’s very white, orders of magnitude whiter than an America First PAC conference, but - and here is the first lesson for people who get their news from Rightoid social media - it isn’t ‘white people’ who are rioting, still less ‘white British people’, it’s underclass screwups. Do a 23andMe on the rioters: you’re going to get a whole lot of Irish, not a little Gypsie, and probably a fair bit of coal. What you won’t find is any Norman, and the Anglo-Saxon quotient won’t be that high either. We will come back to this, but, before that, some preliminaries.

A deep sigh

The first thing to say about this is why don’t you people ever learn anything? A full decade and a half ago, Unqualified Reservations already provided, in full detail, a comprehensive explanation of why Right-Wing activism doesn’t work, why Right-Wing street activism works even less, and why violent Right-Wing Street activism works least of all. If you are a TLDR bro, various NRx writers have explained it a million different ways, in every colour of crayon. Has anything in the last 15 years remotely in any way demonstrated that Right Wing activism does work? No, at every opportunity its futility is confirmed, so why do we even have to discuss this still? Why does this even exist?

Muppet

Oh, they’re going to ‘deal’ with muh treacherous elites are they? Here’s a thought, why don’t you beat yourself to death with a lead pipe? You know, you really f**king know, that the only thing this will lead to is more hate-speech legislation, more expanded powers to curb misinformation, more anti-racist training in schools. Oh, and for what it’s worth, a bunch of the people you are egging on are on their way to prison. Again, you already know this, shithead Right Wing Twitter. Why are you like this? Why aren’t you ashamed to be who you are?

The real racism is classism

Hopefully, that’s clear enough, so let’s move on the controversial part of the piece. George Orwell once wrote the following:

England is the most class-ridden country under the sun. It is a land of snobbery and privilege, ruled largely by the old and silly.

To be more specific, he wrote that in 1941, after three Great Reform Bills, after the People’s Budget, after two Labour governments and a General Strike. Can you imagine how class-ridden England was in 1830? The Duke of Wellington, legendary war hero, was so heart-broken by the 1832 Great Reform Bill that he never really got over it. According to the most expansive estimates, the Act gave the vote to seven percent of the population, but that was too much for a true Englishman. He commented after the first day of the new parliament, ‘I never saw so many shocking bad hats in my life’. You will never be this based.

All this is to say that the White egalitarianism of pro-riot simping is just totally fake. If you want to go back to a Britain without Jamaicans and Pakistanis and Jews, then you have to go back to a Britain of rigid and intricate class distinctions, because that’s the only Britain that ever existed. Imagine going to that Britain and complaining that some unemployed guy with tattoos in Middlesbrough felt ‘left behind’ or ‘not listened to’ or whatever other fag nonsense you copied and pasted over from Blue Labour. His job isn’t to be listened to, it’s to listen, and then do what he’s told. If he kicks off like this, or anything close to this, his new job is getting flogged. Are you sad that meany Keir Starmer is bringing in riot police against your poor little indigenous working class who dindu nuffin and are also completely justified in what they did? I have some bad news for you. You are fake, and you are gay.

Where does the ideology of White Egalitarianism, utterly foreign to any meaningful concept of Englishness, come from? Where do you think, Korea? The States, obviously:

As I have stated, the truth of this principle may be slow in development, as all truths are and ever have been, in the various branches of science. It was so with the principles announced by Galileo it was so with Adam Smith and his principles of political economy. It was so with Harvey, and his theory of the circulation of the blood. It is stated that not a single one of the medical profession, living at the time of the announcement of the truths made by him, admitted them. Now, they are universally acknowledged. May we not, therefore, look with confidence to the ultimate universal acknowledgment of the truths upon which our system rests? It is the first government ever instituted upon the principles in strict conformity to nature, and the ordination of Providence, in furnishing the materials of human society. Many governments have been founded upon the principle of the subordination and serfdom of certain classes of the same race; such were and are in violation of the laws of nature. Our system commits no such violation of nature's laws. With us, all of the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, are equal in the eye of the law. Not so with the negro. Subordination is his place.

The Cornerstone Speech is famous in our circles as a sort of proto-HBD manifesto, an application of scientific knowledge about human biological variation (then rather in its infancy, of course) to the problems of politics. The data are in and we know that, as to the brute facts, Stephens was right, at the very least a lot more right than the Northern jihadists, but pay a bit more attention to what he says. He doesn’t just say the races are unequal vis a vis each other, but that, considered separately, each one is equal internally. This entirely cancels out anything positive he said, for this statement is as wrong as it is possible to be.

Cognitive and behavioural differences between racial groups are real, persistent, well-demonstrated and genetic in origin. If you don’t know that, you are an ignoramus and your opinions are worthless, no less than someone who has not heard of the law of supply and demand, or doesn’t understand what a correlation coefficient is. Agreed? Now read the next paragraph.

Cognitive and behavioural differences between classes within racial groups are real, persistent, well-demonstrated and genetic in origin. If you don’t know that, you are an ignoramus and your opinions are worthless, no less than someone who has not heard of the law of supply and demand, or doesn’t understand what a correlation coefficient is.

The truth is that to understand reality you need to know both things, but if you had to pick one, you should pick class. Defining racial groups gets messy once you drill down beyond the big five; there are anomalies everywhere, bell curves that trail off where they shouldn’t, phenomena that decry easy classification and, on top of that, in a lot of countries, race isn’t even very relevant. Class is important everywhere and, for all practical purposes, is relatively easy to analyse because it’s a phenomenon that keeps re-sorting itself, and because the degree of adaption to specialisation within a complex society is more pronounced than between two societies. The real truth about the people at the bottom of British society is that this is where they belong because of how they were born, and you’re going to have to deal with it.

A delightful anecdote

While I’m over here, I’m helping my mother to clean out some of the stuff that litters the houses of the elderly, and we drove over to the local dump. Once there, we were greeted by a friendly English fellow who beckoned over some cheerful big-nosed Africans, so jet black that you wouldn’t know where they were in a room with the lights off. They smiled with a big grin and pearly white teeth, saying madam and sir in that charming sing-songy way they do, sorting out the various bags of trash by material, and taking it to the numbered bins. They smiled and waved as we drove off.

Jared Taylor, a very civilized man, has spent his life arguing for the distinction between white supremacy and white nationalism, and his argument has become a commonplace of the online right from the 70th percentile of radicalisation and up. The first, we are to believe, is not something that anyone really believes, today at least, but is rather a monstrous libel of the Left, whereas the second is inherently harmless and benign. Who could object to a racial group wanting nothing more than to be captains of their own fate?

Wrong. White supremacy is true, is good, is beautiful. It might be logistically difficult to pull off, not really worth the bother when you consider the downside risk, but, when well executed, what could be more sublime? White nationalism is a nasty, petty, spiteful little creed whose entire essence is to tether everything bold, admirable and exalted in the white race to its least accomplished members, who have no claim on the glory of its heroes beyond being more or less related to them. I’ll tell you a secret too, Alexander H. Stephens didn’t believe in White egalitarianism either; the southern elite knew well enough they weren’t equal to crackers, but they also needed someone to go out and fight.

When you have eliminated the impossible

From what I have written above, you might think that I have a special animus towards the vulgar multitude of England. If I wanted to, I could. Once, as I was walking through what had, before decades of decay, been a charming part of Sunderland, a rat-faced little prick in a tracksuit called my wife a c**t, asked me ‘do you f**k her?’ then threw can of coke at my head. Even this week, in the overwhelmingly middle-class town where I reside as a refugee-come-wimp, a fellow with three ill-kempt dogs shouted at me from a bus stop something not especially comprehensible in between burping. Perhaps it was my kappel, perhaps my V-neck sweater. Some things will remain ever a mystery.

But, actually, I don’t. I know Sunderland well because every Pesach growing up, we used to go stay with an elderly spinster relative who had a ‘lodger’ (so we were told at the time) from South Shields. I more or less understood what Sunderland people said, but the South Shields accent was a step too far. When he wasn’t drunk, I picked up one word in three, when he was drunk, one in seven, but he was usually drunk. When you are a child, though, you are primed to accept what you are given, and I loved him like the quasi uncle he was. One thing I did eventually understand after dozens of repetitions was his motto ‘look after yer moovva, because you can always get anoovva faver, but you can never get anoovva moovva,’ advice that I believe came from experience. I think about him a lot and thus my deepest emotional stratum for the white lower class is one of affection.

I’m not going to get too sentimental about it, though; this isn’t really my business. If any of your concern for the indigenous white working class^tm is at all real, though, I’ll tell you what you would do. You would teach them to serve. You would train them to doff their cap, to speak when they are spoken to, to bow and curtsy, to make themselves useful, and to pleased for the opportunity to do so. That’s real, at any rate, it was real; the England you vicariously riot for from your laptop has no analogue in reality; not now, not then, not ever. The only social function these people ever had in the real world was to serve; take that away from them, and you took more than any Hampstead liberal ever did, or could.

The indigenous white working class^tm are not in a good way. Jeremy Kyle is not on TV anymore, and he even had to issue an apology of sorts for exploiting their limitless stories of grotesque dysfunction, but you can find the clips. The truth is they were never in all that good of a way to begin with, but they can do better. You can help them do better. You won’t do it through White egalitarian victimism; you can only do it through a return to authentic Britishness, not the candy version that filters down from America’s online Right insane asylum. It’s certainly an uphill task. The tattoos can be removed by laser surgery (a Jew invented that by the way, no need to thank us though), but the spiritual tattoo, the tattoo of their hearts, if you will, will take many years, much sweat and many tears, to remove. Aren’t they your people though? Is that not your obligation by bond of blood?

The other option is importing foreigners to do the work and hiving them off in ghettos next to Pakis who they can have street fights with. It’s not great, but if you want easy answers, that’s the only one you have. Why do you think the elite did it? Because they read the Kalergi plan? Because they’re Jews? Grow up.

1. You see, I can’t help myself, it’s a sickness, really.

2. For those who don’t know, Stella Artois is literally piss that Belgians put into cans and then ship to England, manically laughing about how they keep getting away with it. I am not using hyperbole here; it is literally piss, Google it. Or smell it.
