A Moment of Clarity on Race and the Impact on White Identity


https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1830290669128089600/pu/vid/avc1/1024x576/vPtUL1p3yD_wbuch.mp4?tag=12
A man has a moment of clarity and discusses how White people are the only group that can't stand up for their own interests without being labeled 'racist.' He explains how this term was purposely created to weaken Whites and keep them from defending themselves.


"Well, to me, racism is just instinct and everything. Everyone is racist, right? Everyone knows this too. Asians are some of the most racist people in the world, but they're not pulled up for it by some moral authority masquerading as a journalism or government official. So racism, to me, is simply wanting the same rights. It's not rooted in hatred. It's not an ugly thing rooted in hatred. It's wanting the same rights that every other race seems to have, which is the right to our own exclusive living space, our own ethnic communities, having our own schools for our own children, having our own government for our own people, looking out for our ethnic interests, protecting us from exploitation, from big business and other hostile forces in the world, not everyone's your friend in this world, not everyone is equal, and not everyone is your friend. People are trying to harm you. People are trying to take advantage of you. People are trying to you know, they're trying to exploit you. That's just the reality of situation, reality of life. And so, you know, to me, racism God or racialism essentially mean the same thing, and it's not an ugly thing. I've thought about what racism is. I'm not just subscribing to some contrived idea about this ugly boogeyman that was, you know, shoved into my soft head during schooling years or during my education process, and now I'm fighting racism like a good, loyal bootlicker to the system. I've actually thought about it. And, you know, as a white guy myself, I realized that the term racist doesn't really apply to anyone except white people. And when you consider that, when you consider that, then it becomes clear that the term is contrived for a sinister purpose. The accusation is reserved only for white people, and that means it's serving a specific agenda."

Turns out the original video was in English not German. I updated the post. And created a transcript of the video.

Ok cunt :)

Better get back to that larger purpose of masturbating while disparaging other ethnicities in a forgotten corner of the internet. You’re making a difference mingey.

See, there you go cunt! Doesn't that feel better?

And I will. I'm sitting here naked, wearing only a cock ring, crafting my next racist post as we speak. I'm thinking of sending a picture of a noose to black guy on twitter. I think that will get me to cum.

By the way, here's a pro tip: if you ever sift through all my posts here, you’ll find I almost always sneak in a line from a movie or TV show somewhere in my post. Sometimes it’s blatantly obvious, and everyone will catch the reference, but more often, it’s a bit more subtle.

The above line about the cock ring is a reference to Happy Harry Hardon played by Christian Slater in Pump Up the Volume: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c93wwAJbB1M

What makes you think I’m angry?

I find your fractured psyche quite fascinating actually.

You sounded a little angry to me. But I'm glad you find my fractured psyche fascinating. It's all part of my charm — keeps people guessing which version they’re talking to. You call it fractured, I call it multidimensional.

reply

White people really need to find a racial identity....and fast. They are less than 10% of the global population.

reply

I know. It's heartbreaking. It feels like we're facing extinction. It enrages me that some White people are either indifferent or so thoroughly brainwashed and cucked that they cheer on this decline.

People sometimes accuse me of being afraid or angry, but what I truly feel is profound grief. I'm mourning the loss of my people and their homelands. I see a future without us and it looks like an apocalyptic wasteland. I can’t bear the thought of my kids growing up in such a world.

reply

It enrages me that some White people are either indifferent or so thoroughly brainwashed and cucked that they cheer on this decline.


What I find about whites is that most of them only care about what's going on in their own lives. If they're doing well, nothing else really matters. I don't think they have a concept of a homeland anymore, it's never been drummed into them to feel any kind of racial identity, just the opposite (thanks to film and tv especially).

reply

This is it exactly. It's not just that it hasn’t been drummed into them; it’s that it has been deliberately drummed out of them. They’re not allowed to collectivize based on race, celebrate their heritage, or even learn their own history — except to be told they were the villains who need to atone for their ancestors' sins. Their connection to their people, their history, and heritage has been systematiclaly stripped out of them. Now, they're conditioned to be passive, complicit in their own erasure, driving their own extinction.
It's really disgusting.

reply

The WEF is trying to get rid of us, because our culture and identity is the only one strong enough to think for ourselves and to fight back against evil authoritarians. We're the only ones who push ourselves to be independent, work hard for what we want, and to use critical thinking. Very few other non-white civilizations have actually done that, and most are far too used to having to just live an almost feudalistic lifestyle of being powerless peasants that have to capitulate to a tiny oligarchy that's in charge.

The cabal's ultimate goal is to be the only group of white people in the world with a bunch of brown and black peasants to do the dirty work without question and not have the gumption to fight back against the regime. It'll be Panem just like in the "Hunger Games" books, but on a global scale. Everyone will be a slave except for one little oligarchy that lives in a walled-off city somewhere in Europe.

reply

This bit stands out:

as a white guy myself, I realized that the term racist doesn't really apply to anyone except white people. And when you consider that, when you consider that, then it becomes clear that the term is contrived for a sinister purpose. The accusation is reserved only for white people, and that means it's serving a specific agenda


Also, only one race is ever demonized for things done in the past. The word slavery in todays world basically means whites enslaving blacks, and colonialism means whites exploiting third world countries. It's as if genocide, invasion, subjugation and enslavement doesn't count unless whites are doing it. It's pathetic.

reply

Yeah, that part stood out to me as well. Honestly, it kind of gave me chills hearing him say it. It just felt good to hear someone say it out loud.
One day, we’re going to make those responsible pay for the damage they’ve inflicted on our people.

reply

The ironic thing is that if whites were as racist as they say we are, then non-whites wouldn't even be allowed into our countries and any that got in would be deported.

reply

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do here — create a space for all the racists. For people who want to speak out but are afraid of being labeled or banned. For those who’ve had the Wokes hammer it into them for the last decade that their views are illegitimate. I want to show them it’s okay, there’s nothing to fear. I want them to see that I’m the biggest racist around, and I wear that proudly, like a badge of honor. That’s why I go so extreme here — to push the Overton window and carve out space for normal people with unpopular views

reply

I want them to see that I’m the biggest racist around, and I wear that proudly, like a badge of honor.
But you are not; you pretend; you admitted to me just a short while ago that half the time you are joking. Once the sort of cat is out of the bag, it cannot be caught and readmitted.

reply

Are you certain about that? Take a look at my original post where I mentioned being only half-joking. This was in my response to SemiAnimus. What was I referring to when I said I was only half-joking? I was talking about single-handedly turning this board into a propaganda arm of the Fourth Reich. That was the half-joke. Regarding the racist and White supremacist claims, I’ve already clarified in a previous post that while I enjoy trolling and being provocative, I genuinely believe in a lot of what I say; I just present it in the most raw and extreme manner possible.

Here was the original post where I clarified what I meant:
"As for my positions, I genuinely believe in most of them, though I often present them in an intentionally extreme and provocative way. I also like to troll a little, partly to spark conversation and partly for my own and others' entertainment. While my delivery may be exaggerated for effect, the core beliefs behind them are real."

I told you the line between parody and reality is blurred.

Never lose your smile!

Trouble is we are guessing which part that is. And it is reasonable to think that it would be the most outrageous and extreme.

Racism : a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race [Websters]

A more balanced and reasonable view, that quite obviously any group can be racist, can be found here:

reply

That's a very uncharitable interpretation of what the man was saying. You cherry-picked a few words that are irrelevant to his overall message, which was that the term 'racist' is used as a weapon to weaken and silence White people into submission. As a result, they are conditioned to be passive while facilitating their own extinction.

reply

You cherry-picked a few words that are irrelevant to his overall message

Hardly irrelevant. It is where his justification lies. Racism is not 'wanting the same rights' it is, as Webster says ' a belief that some races are superior'. And that belief is indeed often rooted in hatred. Sometimes from the fear of losing white privilege.

'racist' is used as a weapon to weaken and silence White people into submission. They are conditioned to be passive

Doesn't seem to have silenced him much. Or you. Or the many on this board with the same views, and who aren't in the event joking, in fact.

while facilitating their own extinction.

One of your 'half jokes' The familiar conspiracies which make up Replacement Theory can be funny.

reply

Hardly irrelevant. It is where his justification lies. Racism is not 'wanting the same rights' it is, as Webster says ' a belief that some races are superior'. And that belief is indeed often rooted in hatred. Sometimes in the fear of losing white privilege.

The dictionary is irrelevant in this context. Dictionaries don’t assign meaning to words; they simply document how words are used. Usage is what determines meaning as pointed out by Wittgenstein. As mentioned, the term 'racism' is frequently used to describe White people who merely seek the right to have their own exclusive spaces, ethnic communities, and a government that prioritizes their ethnic interests. Other groups are allowed these privileges without being labeled as racist, yet when White people request the same rights, they are branded as racists.
Doesn't seem to have silenced him much. Or you. Or the many on this board with the same views, in fact.

It has silenced him and many others, but now he’s finally speaking out because people have had enough and are starting to rise up. And that’s exactly what I’m doing here. By being extreme, I’m carving out space for normal people who’ve been too scared to speak out, fearing labels like racist, sexist, or bigot. I’m showing them there’s nothing to fear. I embrace being called the biggest racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobe, and transphobe here, wearing these labels as badges of honor. I don’t care how many Wokes whine about it — they don't matter, their feelings don't matter, their opinions don’t matter. I wanted to create a space where those with "racist" views can express themselves freely, and I’ve succeeded. Now, many people here are discussing race and White identity and expressing their true feelings.

reply

Dictionaries don’t assign meaning to words;

Still joking I see. A dictionary is a reference book that lists words and their definitions, and provides other information about them.

document how words are used

Linguistics is the social science that studies how language is used in different cultures and contexts.

'racism' is frequently used to describe White people who merely seek the right to have their own exclusive spaces, ethnic communities, and a government that prioritizes their ethnic interests.

According to the Oxford Dictionary this time, racism is 'prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed at someone based on their race, with the belief that one's own race is superior.' The thing is that when those blithe Whites do to 'merely' seek justice and their rights, it is often denied to others on the grounds that Caucasians are necessarily privileged, deserved, and superior.

Other groups are allowed these privileges without being labeled as racist, yet when White people request the same rights, they are branded as racists.

This a claim I have yet to seen proved or even properly evidenced. If we take it seriously one quickly sees that it is not a call for justice but for prejudice, through a fear of losing white privilege.

Yeah right. A shame you admit to being half-joking all along, You are not quite the cultural warrior you claim to be. An alternate view is that you are just provoking disgruntled people to bring out their worst.

reply

No, that wasn't a joke. That's simply how words work. They are used in various ways by people, and while dictionaries attempt to document and record these uses, they’re always playing catch-up. Words evolve over time, and dictionaries are always lagging behind.

Once again, you’re missing the point. The dictionary definition is irrelevant here. The term 'racism' is being used by some to describe White people who simply want their own exclusive communities. That’s what they mean by 'racist.' The person in the video was addressing this specific usage and definition of racism, not the one provided by Oxford Dictionaries.
This a claim I have yet to seen proved or even properly evidenced. If we take it seriously one quickly sees that it is not a call for justice but for prejudice, through a fear of losing white privilege.

White people deserve to be privileged in their own society. It’s their society, built by White people for White people, while foreigners are merely guests. Do you realize how absurd this 'White privilege' nonsense is? Foreigners aren’t entitled to any privileges. They should be grateful just to be here and receive benefits without contributing anything of value. And yet, you have the audacity to bring up our privilege. I could tell you more about what immigrants deserve but I think it would probably violate the community standards of this board.

reply

Words evolve over time, and dictionaries are always lagging behind.

This is just a desperate attempt to weaken the clear and similar definitions of racism provided by two major dictionaries. It sounds like special pleading

.The dictionary definition is irrelevant here

It is entirely relevant. All that is happening is that you don't want to accept standard definition and want to use something which your argument demands.

The term 'racism' is being used by some to describe White people who simply want their own exclusive communities.. The person in the video was addressing this specific usage and definition of racism, not the one provided by Oxford Dictionaries..

What has happened is that person has used the word 'racism'. which is invariably seen as a negative thing (although I have seen some here making out of it a positive) and misapplied it to add to their case. Same as I described of you, above.

Do you realize how absurd this 'White privilege' nonsense is?

Not absurd enough, as we saw from the historic quote you provided founding the country with all that white privilege built in.

Foreigners aren’t entitled to any privileges.

Probably another half-joke, so I am laughing. But fully naturalised ethnic groups in the US are no more 'foreigners' than white immigrants. They are just more recent arrivals. Your argument is illogical and self serving.

They should be grateful just to be here and receive benefits without contributing anything of value. Your joking continues I see.

And yet, you have the audacity to bring up our privilege

Seems like you admit it exists here... but again just look again at those terms of the founding of your country, QED

reply

as we saw from the historic quote you provided founding the country with all that white privilege built in.

I'm glad it's built in. That is how it should be. Even so, it wasn’t enough to stop us from making the mistake of turning our country into a failed MultiCulti experiment. You seem to be under the impression that there’s something inherently good or desirable about multicultural societies. There isn’t. If you import foreigners into a democracy, it inevitably becomes a tyranny. Aristotle pointed this out 2,300 years ago. You’d think we would have learned from history by now.
Probably another half-joke

If they are non-White they are foreigners.

Websters is woke too, now? You can see its definition does not mention any ethnic group.

See my other reply to you. I explain how dictionaries work.

reply

See how I show how you unfortunately mix up linguistics with dictionaries' widely understood function.

reply

You’ve done nothing of the sort. I said that "usage is what determines meaning as pointed out by Wittgenstein". This is accurate unless you believe that Wittgenstein's idea — that the meaning of a word comes from its use in a particular language game — is confined solely to linguistics. It isn’t. He was making a broader claim about how language operates in everyday life.

reply

I said that "usage is what determines meaning as pointed out by Wittgenstein"

Now now be sensible. I don't think he meant that a deliberately false use of a word affects what it really means (although those misusing it might be satisfied to think it does) But, good try.

reply

Language evolves precisely through the misuse of words. Misuse or novel applications of words can eventually become accepted if enough people adopt them, shifting what is considered "correct". This is a key part of how language evolves and semantic change happens over time.

reply

This is true. However a deliberately false use of a word does not affect what it really means. In the case of racism it is quite obvious that any ethnic group can be racist towards another.

But if it was true that the new meaning of racism is the 'Woke definition' of racism, meaning 'to single out White people and marginalize them'. Then this fresh definition is more than 'just a tool in a vile anti-White propaganda campaign'; it is what racism has become, and so, by the new definition brought into being by your usage, er, most white people are 'racist'. Thank you for showing the way.

It can be both. The definition might be incorrect initially but can evolve to become the 'correct' one over time. Additionally, this shift can be driven by a deliberate anti-White propaganda campaign, influencing how terms are perceived and used.

Thats kinda like saying why isnt the fat kid with the biggest slice of cake allowed to have any more cake?

reply

Wrong. This is our country; it’s our cake. We deserve the biggest slice because the entire cake belongs to us. We are not obligated to share it with anyone else. We’ve made the mistake of inviting guests and giving them a slice, and now they believe they’re entitled to a larger portion.
The guests have overstayed their welcome and now it's time to go.
Ausländer Raus!

Ah, and before you bring up Black people, let me clarify: they were chattel and were never entitled to any of the cake. We liberated them from bondage, and now they should return to where they came from. They should grateful that they were even allowed to stay.

reply

The guests have overstayed their welcome and now it's time to go... now they should return to where they came from

Obviously one of your 'half-joking' efforts. But such a thing, even if taken seriously, will prove hard to do with nationalised citizens. And why not send all the whites back to Europe where they came from? The principle is the same.

reply

But such a thing, even if taken seriously, will prove hard to do with nationalised citizens.

Citizenship can be revoked.
And why not send all the whites back to Europe where they came from? The principle is the same.

Because the country belongs to White Europeans. It was founded by White Europeans for White Europeans. This is clearly stated in the Nationality Act of 1790:
https://immigrationhistory.org/item/1790-nationality-act/
"Congress first defined eligibility for citizenship by naturalization in this law, and limited this important right to “free white persons.” In practice, only white, male property owners could naturalize and acquire the status of citizens, whereas women, nonwhite persons, and indentured servants could not."

reply

Citizenship can be revoked.

reply

‘Based’ is a term that comes from the alt-right movement of the early 2010s. Today, it essentially means that you’re seen as cool and 'redpilled,' especially when you express controversial views that challenge the mainstream establishment. When used as a response to someone, it implies they have a sense of authenticity and approval for expressing controversial or unconventional opinions.

As for what you put out there, half-joking, race-baiting, the result of a 'fractured psyche' of a troll (as you called yourself), I am pleased that you are happy with how it works out. Until the next time..
