Fun read. But how can the Honky Konger miss the fact that Madame Sontag would hurl racial abuse at you for categorising her as caucasian. It is the QQ you know....she is a quaker. LOL.
Nice to see a Hong Konger showing concern for my people. It's mutual in that I'm also concerned about young Hong Kongers suffering under the severe educational feudalism imposed by their parents. I think Asians (and the global South) have gotten plenty from whites and should wish our continued existence.
thanks for appreciating the many fine qualities, and eccentricities, of white people. as a white person myself, i find it refreshing to hear it in these hate-whitey times. but you are missing a key point. white-looking people can be Jewish, like Susan Sontag, and when they are, they use this deceptive appearance to "hide in plain sight" and do everything in their power to demoralize white people, undermine white institutions/values, and persuade whites to stop reproducing and hand over their care and resources to parasitic people of color instead of to their own offspring. hence the much-quoted "cancer of the earth" bit of hate-speech. much that is going wrong with white people and their nations nowadays is directly attributable to the malign influence of Jews. why? well, one reason is they can't forgive us for being Christian. but they also regard all gentiles as livestock, so there's that.
I could do without anti-semitism and it's attendent conspiracy theories. And this article, while good, is inaccurate. Monogamy arose in ancient Greece and Rome and is pre-Christian. Rome encouraged exogamy to break the power of clannish families in the empire. Jewish thought and philosophy is the bedrock of Christian theology and morality and Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion. However, for historical reasons both Judaism and Christianity became embedded in Europe along with Classical baggage from Greece and Rome, which were incorporated into the social structure of the Church. It is a Jew who says that a man should marry and leave his parents, a key idea in England from the early middle ages so that the multi-generation household does not exist there, though it does in other parts of Europe. Weirds are the product of Judaeo-Christianity not just ideas from Christianity. Also the rise of feudalism which is a system of duty and rights put paid to most slavery in Europe because slaves cannot be fitted into the system as they have, generally no rights. Christianity gave slaves rights eg that their marriages be respected but feudalism removed slave status and the Normans in particular shut down slave markets eg in Bristol and Dublin. Other societies practice exogamy eg Hindus, but monogamy is a genuine European concept, just not specifically Christian. The other ideas, analytical thought exists elsewhere but free market capitalism is the evil manifestation of ideas about individualism. Regulated social democratic capitalism where the economy works to provide people/society what is needed works better for all but the rich and is a Christian idea.
Another good definition of Whiteness (if you’re willing to do some reading) is from The Decline of the West by Oswald Spengler. To cut a long story very short, he says that White/Western/WIERD culture (he calls it Faustian, you get used to it), is based a unique conception of infinite continuous space as the ground of all reality, and a very strong sense of history and destiny. It’s a long read, and not for the faint of heart, but it changed how I looked at everything about myself and my culture.
Whiteness discourse is a supreme example of only analyzing the negative part of a phenomenon and completely ignoring the positive. It contains knowledge, but not a fullness of knowledge.
I have long suspected that the WEIRDness highlighted in that paper re unreplicable "science" might have been one of those revelation of the method planted pieces. Like Cass Sunstein's Conspiracy Theory theory.
Knowing how to manipulate the WEIRDs is really all you needed to have a nice deep buffer layer of virtue signalling sheep swamping the professional managerial class.

Susan Sontag was Caucasian (West Eurasian), but she was objectively not White. She was Jewish. A genetically distinct intermediate admixed cluster that formed about 2,500 to 3,500 years after Whites, as a mixture of ancient Southern Levantines and Europeans with a smattering of other west Asian and southeast Mediterranean populations.
It makes it especially rich when they pull the "my fellow Whites" Shtick because they aren't even White. They're White passing half White West Eurasians who fall outside of the very European cluster you rightly identified at the start of your article.
(We can discuss the illusion of peripheral overlap caused by only looking at the first two principle components if need be. People often misunderstand the slight lower dimensional overlap to mean belonging, failing to realize that adding a few more principle components clearly splits them out like native Americans from East Asians, who appear much closer on 2 PCs than on 3. But I digress...)
Whites are the elves, the god damn arcane esoteric ancient civilization... the one the rest of humanity will emulate for ages to come, but whose achievements will never be matched again.
What do you mean disappear? They have 800 million people there. Birth rates are low, but so are they across most of the globe. By the end of the century, Indians could become a minority in some regions if populations continue having fewer births than deaths, and that is already happening across parts of Asia, so I do not agree with that point.
Also, most of this thread is cope. It is more of an IQ issue, right? Indians and Africans have lower average IQs statistically, but that is not an inherent trait tied to an ethnic group, and there is a lot of overlap between populations anyway. The technology already exists to raise the ceiling for future generations, so I disagree with the premise of this thread.
As for hating white people, people mostly hate colonialism, and yes, some of it is a coping mechanism. We can both agree on that. However, pretending that most Indians or other ethnic groups hate white people is insane. Most of us are ambivalent.
My main concern is not history. It is what we can do moving forward. Why do third-world countries exist, and how can we fix that?
I disagree. Even though "wokeness" has subsided since 2020-21, you cannot deny that huge swathes of educated/left leaning america are prejudiced against white people (especially white conservatives and white republicans). Given that Trump has exhausted his credibility with the Iran War, it is not unimaginable for these sentiments to become more mainstream in the future. That is why this article is still timely.
You’re writing for an audience that loves to feel victimized. There’s market demand and you’re filling it, but it’s a shrinking market and I’m just telling you that. You may not want it to shrink, but it is and will for at least the next several years if not longer.
I would be happy for my “audience” (I don’t get paid for this, this comes out of my own pocket) to no longer love feeling victimized. There are lots of other things that I could write about, I just wrote about a trip to southern England. I’d really love your opinion on that piece.
If there are any growing audiences that you feel need be catered to, I’d love your recommendation.

Especially look at Spengler’s thoughts on the relationship of culture and mathematics

That was different.

Thanks for that
Love the tone
As a white bloke in HK for 30 years it’s interesting to watch the place change now, culturally changing in front of our eyes.
Beer in Kowloon is always possible
Is it cos many are historically of Germanic decent?

The Whites are the Germans.
And people may hate us, because the jew has been allowed to pass itself off as us.

This piece is several years out of date.
I would be glad to read your critique of my piece. I'd also like to know what you think white people and whiteness are, given your expertise.
I don’t have a critique other than that this piece should have been published about five years ago.
