B. U. G. S.

I should have researched what was going on before I commented, and then thought longer and commented shorter. Apologies.

I see “ItsOkayToBeWhite” is doing great work activating people, and it can also be used by us. Like Trump’s momentum.

If I haven’t already destroyed the thread, can we brainstorm? (Or has the moment already passed for this meme?)

Here’s my suggestions for tweets:

#Imagine if #ItsOkayToBeWhite were true. #Whitepeople wouldn’t be chased down by #diversity.

#Imagine if #ItsOkayToBeWhite were true. #Therapists wouldn’t need to tell their #white patients, “White self-hatred is SICK!!!”

Yes,it’s an immediately effective meme, for the reasons White&Normal and Ice Knight have stated, but I disagree that we should hop on it. It has plenty of action from other folk who far outnumber us, and we should employ our own small numbers in spreading our own memes, which are memes for the long term.

As Bob said, when things get too easy, be wary, so let’s compare “It’s okay to be white” with its stronger cousin, our own “White self-hatred is SICK!!!”

“It’s okay to be white” has the advantage that “anyone who objects can SO EASILY be labeled anti-white,” whereas “White self-hatred is SICK!!!” can, like ALL of our memes, strike an audience as overstating the case. Our memes, all of them, are long-term memes that require long periods of being normalized before they don’t sound over the top to most of our white audience. “White Genocide” is still too over the top for most pro-Whites to get behind. It hasn’t yet sunken into their bones that White Genocide is real, and it hasn’t yet sunk into their bones that White self-hatred is SICK, and if I’m wrong and it has sunk it, then they still can’t tolerate being laughed at while they hammer those statements long enough that they sink into the white audience.

Imagine if the Black movement of the 1960s had begun with “It’s okay to be Black.” Even with today’s overlay of irony to almost everything that’s said by younger pro-whites, there is something sniveling about that statement. Are pro-whites at demos going to chant, “It’s okay…to be…White”? Well, possibly I’m not sufficiently in touch with the irony of it all, but that seems absurd to me.

Things that work in the short run can unfortunately take root and be serious impediments in the long run. Twenty years from now we don’t want whites shuffling around saying “It’s okay to be white.”

My two cents, and even if I’m wrong, let’s stick to our own material, since it’s all delayed-fuse dynamite and there are so few of us!

“Making Sense of the Alt-Right” (book by a political science professor reviewed at Amren). At the end of Chapter 1, right before that chapter’s “Conclusion”:

One final online trend that more directly presaged the Alt-Right was Bob Whitaker’s online campaign to promote the idea of “White Genocide.” For years, Whitaker has been encouraging his followers to infiltrate the comment sections of major news stories and spread the mantra “anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.” Although Whitaker’s name does not come up often in discussions about the Alt-Right, this was one of the first coordinated trolling campaigns conducted online by white nationalists. Matt Parrot, a longtime white-nationalist activist, suggested that Whitaker is the Alt-Right’s “true godfather.”

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF: 1:19 p.m., 1100 block of Northwest Monroe Avenue, Corvallis. A woman reported someone had placed a yellow “White Genocide” sticker on an interior door of the Methodist church. No suspects have been indentified.

The Press Herald in Portland, Maine:

“Everybody’s on the same page that essentially a white genocide is ongoing and that all white people across the Western world need to protect their interests and fight against this,” said Heidi Beirich, who tracks extremist groups at the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Can I slip in a request to tweet out this WGP article?

Wow, the first sentence of that New Yorker article has “white genocide” in it:

This being the United States in 2017, Internet trolls are accusing “Star Trek: Discovery,” the newest incarnation of the sci-fi franchise, due to début on television in the fall, of white genocide.
