Those of us who were around when the Cold War got underway find it easy to see Political Correctness as a religion. Catholic countries like France and Italy had giant Communist Parties. The Red vote was minuscule in Protestant countries.
Europeans are naturally obedient. Catholics look to Authority. Catholic working class people gave up their priests but they naturally went straight to another set of Authorities, the professors.
The same phenomenon took a different form in Protestant countries. In Britain, those who had always cited the Uppah Clahss and His Majesty as the basis of their lives switched over to citing Intellectuals in precisely the same way.
No workers elected a single delegate to the British Labor Party. Each union leader cast all the votes for all the members of his union in the same way a nobleman or burgher in earlier parliaments spoke for all the people in the area he came from.
Bishops in parliament were replaced by union heads at the convention. But the principle was the same.
One thing that Politically Correct people do not allow is a sense of humor about their doctrine. This is a direct result of it being a religion. Our ancestors were shushed when they mentioned things like “damn.” If you want to see the look on the faces of the religious who did the shushing, you can see the same look on the faces of those who are shocked when you refer to “midget” instead of a “little person.”
You will see that look on the face of someone when you use the 499th consecutive word that is the latest ONLY way to refer to African-Americans.
I was raised in the Bible Belt. I know the symptoms.
Even at age sixteen when I first got to college I recognized the symptoms. Real rubes who had BELIEVED in what their parents and neighbors in their small towns and were finally exposed to Real Intellectual had exactly the same expression on their faces as the ones I had so often seen on somebody who had just been Saved at a Revival.
The guys who had been through Basic were convinced that only a Tough Guy knew how to truly grovel at Mommy Professor’s feet. I watched Mommy Professor become the hick’s camp meeting Revivalist and the ex-soldier’s unquestioned hero and master, the sergeant.
So it did not surprise me at all to see the Italian peasant’s priest being replaced by the local Communist Intellectual.
But trying to explain this obvious fact was damned near impossible with people who thought Mommy Professor and religion were absolute opposites.

That’s the same look I saw on the faces in the audience singing 60’s folksongs on PBS. They looked exactly as a congregation singing hymns.
I think the problem is not the desire for leaders, or certainty, or heros directly though. It’s the inability to tell the true from the false,that gets us into trouble. No amount of education or sophistication will deal with that inability. You have to WANT to deal with it.

It is also the absence of a real society that accounts for this.
All these Wordist cults are ineffectual substitutes for a real society. The Italian peasants made the switch so easily from Padres to the Communist intellectuals because they were not participants in a real society to begin with.
This, of course, is the same problem we have in America, so many of our problems stem from the fact that we have been expelled from a real society, with a fake and ersatz society as a substitute.
This is the point the kids don’t get. Youthful innocence is natural. They don’t understand how ruthless and cruel Mommy Professor is. They think they are participating in a real society and don’t understand that they are simply marks to be exploited, used, and abused by a bunch of self-righteous and self-justifying bullies who profit from their naïveté.

Bob likes to spend a lot of time explaining to us (in his own way) that the masses don’t think very well for themselves. This is a fact of human nature for most people. This is why the masses depend on leaders.
The sad thing today is, now the masses follow an electric device placed strategically in almost every room in the house. TV is now way more effective than any town Priest or Marxist agitator in some Russian village.
Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with TV, just as there is nothing wrong with people in leadership. The problem is the program that the anti-White leaders are leading the masses with.
The worst part of all of it is the fact that the masses think they’re really smart and really original. They’re taught to think they are VERY original when they’ve never had an original thought in their lives. And this is VERY annoying.
The masses will always follow. It doesn’t matter what the religion/theory/philosophy is. It’s up to us to provide direction, motivation, and purpose to a group that WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW. This is their nature. They need direction, motivation, and purpose.
The current program for the White masses is a damn shame. After we win, we will bring out the best in the White masses. This will spillover to the non-whites as well.
A wise man once said that “minorities write history.” The word “minorities” is meant in the real sense of the word, and not how it is currently used to describe majorities (non-whites). We (pro-Whites) are these minorities.
Every generation is an obedient generation.

Fear of death, aloneness, etc. are easily exploited. Once the principle is instituted (someone will be there for you and answerable)— it doesn’t matter if it’s papal infallibility, or commie Mommy, Emperor, Divine King, central president, whatever— The important thing is just implanting the hard-wire in the human subject that accepts “authority” over itself. (and that means exploiting whatever individual vulnerability will allow it.) After that, anybody can fill the slot of Divine incarnation on earth.
It’s like teaching the necessity of Missions (hard enforcing of opinion). If you must save souls aggressively, (on the rack or in physical war as opposed to with the softer power of merely “bearing witness” to your own experience), then you feel justified in stomping people, so Missionaries may be co-opted to destroy anybody for any God.
People who did the rack are now Psychiatrists. If you want to do Missions and re-hard-wire the human subject (to unleash, in turn, your own repressed rage at the gutting that was done to you as a kid, using the terms of psychiatry, itself)—- then psychiatry offers how-to in textbooks, and puts you in a dark room alone and unmonitored with a vulnerable person, and when people die from your missionary behavior, you are happy, since at least they died in transition. Freud worked hard on these strategies for “harnessing” the drives (sex and death) for politics, so people will do missions in the ‘war on x’.
If a person resists, they are not resisting their torturer, the doctor, in therapies, but resisting being well. Freud (or whatever his new name from age to age) tells you this, so it must be true. Whether shrink, soldier, or Mommy Prof—you’re an important Missionary. You believe in Mommy and do Missions for Mommy, and never question the real face of Mommy.
Another key seems “universalism” (parsed out in some Christianity as synonymous with anti-whiteness.) EG: If a white has a non-white family, they are holier, since this visible self-abnegation proves they are “not of flesh,” just like monks used to beat themselves. You are Jesus if you cease to exist (in the world). COLOR is “of the flesh” indeed– and so in some strains of christians, abnegation of the flesh is to be as a God, and if you marry another color, you have clearly “not cared about flesh,” supposedly like jesus. What more visual, public way of disavowing flesh (where you’re sure to get credit) than a visibly non-white bedfellow? “Race doesn’t matter! We are of the spirit! See! Just look at us!”
By contrast, a black or Mexican “Christian” may be Uber-holy with a white person in Mommy Prof’s version of “Christianity” but they have ‘forgiven the oppressor,” and are so full of love that they can even love a horrid white devil), under Mommy Prof’s version of her ideas laid over Christianity.
But abandoning your own color –whatever it is– is Not Necessarily evidence of transcendence to spirit, nor of genuine universalism, as some often (unconsciously) believe. In fact, it can read more like petty retaliation for their own abandonment by others under a system that doesn’t care much about them, which would be yet another interpretation, even under the shrinks of Mommy Prof.
So, in the end, they look like Judas not Jesus. (Petty un-forgivers.) The mantra illustrates the consequence.

Also: it’s always said people are ‘selling out for money.’ But this is only a Marxist interpretation of motivation, (in christianity, greed is just a sin among many). In reality, people whose society ended just spend to fill up a vague emptiness.
But nothing can replace a community, not really.
And so the system hopes, upon this emptiness, hurt people will buy and buy. Motivation can be misinterpreted for their monetary ends. The horror and isolation socially created then Sublimated to spending.
Damn people who always say “Americans Like Cheap Goods.” They hate them. They say they hate them. But they have nothing else to buy, they can afford nothing else, and since the buying is meaningless (just a way to divert attention from what used to be a life of living) they really don’t care if it’s cheap or not.
People buy “Chinese goods” and just toss them into the garbage cans outside stores. It was just something to do for a minute. Better to buy cheap things when you don’t care about anything, anyway.
Thrift stores are full of brand new clothes with the tags still on them.
Americans like cheap goods. Lord.

BGLass,
you are correct, White Americans feel empty inside and try to fill the hole within with partying, material objects, sports, or whatever the newest fashion happens to be.
The Pro-White struggle should provide all the things people truly wish to have in their lives (family, community, purpose, a vision for the future).
