Die Verenigde State van Amerika is ‘n federasie wat uit 50 state bestaan, insluitende Alaska en Hawaii wat geografies van die ander state geskei is. Die bykans 330 miljoen inwoners is minder as 5% van die wêreldbevolking, maar hulle beskik oor sowat ‘n derde van die wêreld se rykdom. Ná die Tweede Wêreldoorlog het Amerika as ‘n supermoondheid op die voorgrond getree. Sedert die verbrokkeling van die Sowjetunie in 1991 is Amerika die enigste supermoondheid. In die huidige eeu het China ‘n mededinger om dieselfde status geword vanweë die skouspelagtige ekonomiese resultate wat hy behaal.
Amerika het as gevolg van grootskaalse immigrasie oor ‘n lang tydperk die tuiste van talle rasse en etnisiteite geword. Daar heers ‘n groot mate van eenstemmingheid oor wat Amerika histories was en selfs waarheen hy skynbaar op koers is. Daar is egter wyd uiteenlopende menings oor die soort samelewing wat Amerika behoort te wees en of daar behoefte aan ‘n koersverandering is, bv wat betref Amerika se rol in die wêreld. Talle waarnemers dink dat Donald Trump besig is om vergestalting aan ‘n nuwe Amerikaanse visie te gee. Een van die (onbedoelde) gevolge kan die opbreking van Amerika in verskillende state wees, bv nasionale etniese state soos in Europa.
Die eerste substansiële boek wat oor hierdie onderwerp gepubliseer is, is Thomas Chittum se Civil War Two: The coming breakup of America (1997/2018; Amazon Kindle $3,45). Chittum het in Viëtnam geveg en was daarna ‘n huursoldaat aan die kant van die Kroate in die Joego-Slawiese burgeroorlog (1991-1992). Hy het gebeure in die Balkanlande op Amerika van toepassing gemaak. Hoewel daar Kindle-weergawe van die boek is, is daar nie een wat op my Kindle aflaaibaar is nie. In die boeke wat ek hier onder bespreek, het die twee outeurs egter deeglik kennis van Chittum se boek geneem. (Die boek kan gratis hier gelees word – redaksie.)
Billy Roper
Billy Roper (gebore in 1972) word in die Wikipedia beskryf as ‘n neo-Nazi-aktivis en anti-Semitis. Hy het die White Revolution-beweging (2002-2011) gestig, wat blanke heerskappy voorstaan en as ‘n “hate group” beskryf word. Deesdae noem Roper sy organisasie The ShieldWall Network. Hy skryf sowel fiksie as nie-fiksie. Naas ander werke wat by Amazon beskikbaar is, is die volgende boek ter sake: The Balk: What does it mean, and what will it mean to America’s future? (2015, 126p; Amazon Kindle $3,44). “Balk” is ‘n afkorting vir balkanisering, dus verdeling in klein, vyandiggesinde staatjies, volgens die HAT, na aanleiding van die geskiedenis van die Balkanlande. “So, Balkanization means ‘to become like the Balkans’” (Roper, 2018-boek hier onder, Kindle 1750). Daar hoef egter nie noodwendig vyandiggesindheid tussen die state te wees nie. In die Amerikaanse konteks sal die state ná opbreking ook nie noodwendig (almal) klein wees nie.
“To balk” beteken ook “to hesitate or be unwilling to accept an idea or an undertaking” (379, 1742). Volgens Roper was die Russiese beleid in die Balkans in die 19de eeu doelbewus daarop gemik om verdeeldheid te veroorsaak (2055). Balkanisering kan dus ook die huidige Amerikaanse politieke mag en invloed aftakel. Maar kleiner, sterk etniese state kan daaruit voortvloei. “Balkanization is the recognition of the need for tribe [volk] and identity separate from the herd” (2245). Hierin is daar ‘n boodskap vir die wit skape in die Suid-Afrikaanse kudde wat deur swart skape oorheers word.
Roper vestig die aandag op die al hoe groter afmetings wat politieke polarisering in Amerika aanneem. Dit word aangevuur deur nie-blanke immigrasie, wat die tradisionele demografie van Amerika in so ‘n mate versteur dat blankes teen die middel van hierdie eeu ‘n minderheidsgroep kan wees. Roper wil vir Amerikaanse blankes ‘n veilige toekoms verseker. Om dit te bereik, moet blankes hulle tradisionele kultuur bewaar deur teen vreemde invloede te waak. Soos in Suid-Afrika is dit ‘n geval van óf blanke óf nie-blanke polities-kulturele oorheersing.
Hierna het Roper die volgende boek gepubliseer: EthnoState (2018, 190p; Amazon Kindle $3,44). Die teks kom neer op ‘n bywerking van sy vorige boek en is gebaseer op wat hy op bv die internet gepubliseer het. Die teks van The Balk is by sy nuwe boek ingesluit, sodat dit nie meer sin het om daardie vorige boek apart te koop nie. Wat vir Roper van deurslaggewende belang is, is dat daar diepgaande kulturele verskille tussen mense van verskillende etnisiteite is, wat dit moeilik, selfs onmoontlik, maak om met mekaar saam te leef. Daar is drie stappe in hierdie proses: “division, polarization, and ultimately, balkanization” (873). “Culture wars are not won by moderates” (1268). Ek wens die mense en instansies wat veronderstel is om Afrikaans te bevorder, wil hierdie waarheid ter harte neem. Dit is dwaas om polities byderwets toe te laat dat Afrikaans maar in ‘n geradbraakte toestand kan verval.
Roper verwys sy lesers na twee web-adresse: whitenationalists.com en aryanwarrior.com (1540). Hy voorsien “the now inevitable breakup of America into smaller and more homogeneous ethnostates” (56). Hierdie politieke polarisering word deur toenemende vrywillige self-segregasie aangehelp. “The country’s schools are becoming more segregated, meaning that those increasingly diverse peoples are choosing to move to sort themselves out” (938). “As that blessed diversity increases in a city, the city segregates more and more into racial and ethnic neighborhoods. When the city as a whole is sufficiently diversified, ie made less White, the Whites move out of the city to the suburbs. When nonWhites pursue them into the suburbs, White flight bleeds out into rural areas to escape the brown tide” (947). “White flight … changes the productivity and standard of living of both the place it flees from, for the worse, as well as the place it flees to, for the better” (2139).
Sy standpunt is dus die teenoorgestelde van wat ons daagliks plaaslik wysgemaak word, naamlik dat bv inklusiwiteit, diversiteit en multikulturaliteit die beste scenario vir die toekoms is. As die meerderheid Amerikaners, naamlik die blankes, kultureel bedreig wil, hoeveel te meer nie die blankes, ‘n minderheid, in Suid-Afrika nie? “The only way to avoid conflict is separation” (270). “You do you, and let us do us” (811). Hy dink blankes het “superior intellect, creativity, ingenuity, and industry” (2103). Hy moedig sy lesers aan met die frase “think racially” (1565). “Our race is our nation” (2196). “Protect what is yours” (2420) – bv dink aan onteiening sonder vergoeding. Roper haal 2 Korintiërs 6:17 aan: “Gaan van hulle af weg en sonder julle af” (1238).
Roper beveel aan dat blankes sy voorbeeld moet volg en uitwyk na bv “the Ozarks,” wat 96% blanke inwoners het (63). ‘n Soortgelyke opset word in baie Amerikaanse nie-stedelike, veral plattelandse, gebiede, “the Heartland” (159), aangetref, bv “the state of Franklin in eastern Tennessee and Kentucky … Likewise, the Upper South of northern Georgia and northern Alabama” (151). Daar is ook “New Albion in upper New England” (176). Die state Maine en Vermont is meer as 90% blank (2388). Die Ozark-gebied strek oor noord-Arkansas, suid-Missouri, noordoos-Oklahoma en suidoos Kansas. “The ShieldWall Plan: continue to evacuate Whites from darkening Louisiana, Mississippi, and south Arkansas to the Ozarks” (881). Daar is groot armoede onder blankes in Ozarkië, maar daar is min misdaad, “a clear indication that poverty itself is not a cause of violent crime” (108). Franklin sou eens die 14de van die oorspronklike 13 Amerikaanse state geword het. “The Heartland, the red states [Republican Party], what coastal liberals [Democratic Party] call ‘flyover country’, will be New America, when the balkanization happens” (900).
Wanneer oor die balkanisering van Amerika gepraat word, is daar vrese dat die blanke staat nie ‘n skakel na die see sal hê nie. Maar Roper lys baie onafhanklike lande wat in ‘n soortgelyke situasie is. “Indeed, being landlocked might be preferable than facing the Pacific Osean, which in a Balkanization scenario would quickly become a Chinese lake” (159). Roper voorsien dat ‘n blanke tuisland in Midde-Amerika in die noorde via die Groot Mere toegang tot die see sal hê (159). “The St Lawrence Seaway route to the Atlantic would be through White controlled areas” (705). In die suide sal Texas toegang tot die Golf van Mexiko bied (159). “The Texas deep water ports of Galveston, Texas City, Houston, Port Arthur, Orange, and Beaumont, basically everything north of Port Freeport, would be within the White controlled territory” (697). “My belief [is] that New America will lie between the Appalachians and the Rockies, and from the Ozarks to the plains of Canada” (1405).
“We have two possible futures left in America. One path leads to Yugoslavia [balkanization], and the other, to Rhodesia. I would ask, challengingly, ‘which one will it to be?’ Perhaps that would motivate you to embrace the coming breakup of America” (231). “The ongoing turmoil in Zimbabwe, formerly White ruled Rhodesia, provides a … stark lesson to those who would return to a multiracial society with Whites controlling a nonWhite population, rather than being separate from them” (1215). Dit herinner aan wat in Suid-Afrika gebeur het. Die Nasionale Party-regering het tuislande vir swartes geskep, maar versuim, soos ook tydens die grondwetlike onderhandelinge in 1990/94, om broodnodige tuislande vir blankes, veral Afrikaners, te skep. Wanneer sal Afrikaners kan sê soos Martin Luther King jr: “Free at last, Free at last!” (480); Uiteindelik vry, uiteindelik vry!
Die uitmekaarval van Amerika word nie uitsluitlik deur blankes gedryf nie. “Some Hispanics want to carry the eagle and snake [Mexican] flag in a reconquista of Aztlan from California to Texas, and are doing a pretty darn good job of displacing the Anglo population there. Some blacks, wanting to have control over their own destiny as a people and to be finally free of what they see as systematic and institutionalized racism, want five states in the deep south for their own ethnostate” (252). “Five deep south states … have been designated as ‘New Africa’ by Black Nationalists … Higher birth rates, re-emigration of blacks to the deep south, and regional migration of Whites out of the deep south to the upper south in response, have made electoral politics as untenable in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina [and North Carolina – 1091), as they became in South Africa” (606). “By 2010, about 57 percent of the nation’s African-Americans were living in the South – a higher percentage than at any time in 50 years” (2072). “Texas, of course, is already majority nonWhite, though north Texas may well be preserved as a part of New America, where their Gulf deepwater ports would be very useful. Georgia and Florida will both go majority nonWhite within less than a decade. Louisiana and Mississippi are projected to follow suit the decade after, with Virginia and North Carolina not far behind” (1227).
Die volgende kan ook op die nuwe Suid-Afrika van toepassing gemaak word. “For the non-nation, multicultural empire which America has become, and for all its distinct peoples, worse is better. What does that mean? Multiracial democracy does not work, even though, just like some people still insist that Communism is an ideal utopian system if it were just ran correctly, but human nature keeps messing it up, some idealists continue to be in denial of its failure” (263). Sedert 1994 is swart mag met ‘n sterk kommunistiese inslag in politieke beheer van Suid-Afrika. Apartheid, afsonderlike ontwikkeling en swart tuislande was die plaaslike poging tot balkanisering. “I tell you … the only alternative to Balkanization is White minority status and eventual extinction through amalgamation” (2437), bv rasvermenging. Dit is presies wat in Suid-Afrika gebeur. Om blanke kultureel-etniese uitwissing te voorkom, is die herbalkanisering van Suid-Afrika nodig, bv etniese tuislande vir blankes.
Roper is aartskonserwatief. “Our Founding Fathers wouldn’t want America to live on like this. It will never again be the country it once was. We lack the will to deport fifteen million illegal immigrants, or defend our borders, or to defend the sanctity of unborn life, or the holy union of marriage” (281). “Our race is our nation … We are defined by our common blood. That’s all that really matters” (287). Hy begeer ‘n “new White republic. Our New America” (432). “Our new nation … will be demographically back to the way the US was around 1960. That is, at least 90% White” (298). Tans word gepoog “to ameliorate genetic differences. Literally, to purposefully hybridize all of humanity into an indistinguishable gray mass. They want to level the playing field through dysgenic miscegenation. It’s called social engineering through promoting race mixing” (327).
“History is full of multiracial societies which have always imploded into racial civil war and collapse, if they haven’t eventually degraded through racial amalgamation. Those are the only two long-term end results of multiracialism” (403). “Multiracial empires are by definition unstable. Homogeneous states, where people share a common race, ethnicity, language, culture, and religion, by definition, are more stable. Diversity is not a strength, it is a weakness” (409). Roper wil nie die Jode as blankes klassifiseer nie. “They may be … like a broken watch right twice a day, but consider the source, always” (772).
Wanneer die volgende groot oorlog buite Amerika uitbreek, “it now is likely to go nuclear … This would certainly result in a civil war between relatively racially homogeneous regions, causing balkanization of the country and the rise of ethnostates. Yes, including White ethnostates” (921). Dit geld vir sowel Amerika as ander lande. “The Founding Fathers … meant for the United States to be a nation of, by, and for White people, specifically” (1072). “The future of the West is balkanization, or retreat into separate enclaves per ethnic group, because the policy of diversity has failed and as a result, people have fallen back on what ‘freedom of association’ remains to withdraw from the disaster of mixed-ethnic society and produce their own communities mirroring Eurepean countries” (1102). Weens gedwonge rasse-integrasie is daar in die 1996-Grondwet van Suid-Afrika agt woorde wat morsdood is: “Everyone has the right to freedom of association” (Artikel 18).
Volgens Roper is “the breakup of America and [the] impending race war … inevitable” (1623). “In many ways, the breakup of America has already begun” (2474). “The only natural and peaceful way for different Races to live is separately. I believe that Racial separatism leads to peace. Balkanization will cause conflict at the beginning, but once we are all separated naturally then we will have harmony” (1736). “In the United States, the Balkanization process is not just one of political, cultural and religious separation. Indeed, the very real re-migration of the races within the borders of this nation are furthering the re-segregation of the peoples who make up the country, and accelerating the ongoing Balkanization” (1801).
Roper vind by Pat Buchanan, bv The death of the West (2002), ondersteuning vir sy standpunt. Buchanan skryf: “If a country is a land of defined and defended borders, within which resides a people of a common ancestry, history, language, faith, culture and traditions, in what sense are we Americans one nation and one people today?” (2015). “Buchanan agrees that the United States of America is headed towards a breakup along racial lines” (2023). Die massa-immigrasie van nie-blankes is hiertoe ‘n groot bydraende faktor. Brent Nelson skryf in sy boek, America balkanized: Immigration’s challenge to government (1994), die vernietiging van tradisionele Amerika direk toe aan die immigrasiebeleid (2048). Samuel Huntington skryf in The clash of civilizations? 1993 – Praag 5.11.2016): “The fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily economic. The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural” (2703). Sulke outeurs word ondersteun deur kommentators op die internet wat die proses van balkanisering en radikalisering aanhelp (2196). Roper vestig ook die aandag op tersaaklike gebeure elders, bv die onafhanklikheidstrewe van baie inwoners in Skotland en Katalonië in Spanje (2218). Daar is ook die Koerde in die Midde-Ooste wat ‘n eie staat begeer, asook die Russe in Oos-Oekraïne (2225).
Die Amerikaanse balkanisering wat Roper voorsien, is dus ‘n swart etniese staat in die suidooste, ‘n hispanistiese etniese staat in die suidweste (2735), rasgemengde state aan die oos- en weskus, met die weskusgebied wat ‘n sterk etnies-Chinese inslag het, asook Midde-Amerika, die hartland, wat ‘n blanke etniese gebied is en die tradisionele leefwyse van Amerikaners voortsit (2740).
“Canada will likely balkanize as well … British Columbia will be occupied by the Chinese along with the rest of the West Coast. The prairie provinces [Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba] are likely candidates to join New America. The Northern territories will revert to the Inuit and Nunavit [Eskimo’s]. Quebecois will get their much sought-after independence, perhaps allied with France. And the Maritime provinces [New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador] will probably be allied with the US Northeastern [white] states” (2836). Ontario is onontwarbaar multikultureel.
Wat Europa betref voorsien Roper die eroniese moontlikheid “[that] Eastern Europe … may end up in better shape than Western Europe” (2851). Dít kan die destruktiewe gevolg van Angela Merkel en ander Wes-Europese staatshoofde van die Europese Unie se dwase beleid van ongebreidelde massa-immigrasie wees.
“Africa, without Western aid, will become a charnel house of warring tribes, rampamt disease, and barbarism. The population there should tank [decline] by one-half the first few years, then level off, gradually, at a pre-industrial standard of living. Don’t expect any Whites to survive on the continent, unless they band together quickly and take out a chunk of territory to defend vigorously … European readers, or South African, or wherever you might be, should also consider immigrating if at all possible to a majority White area if you are not already in one secure and populous enough to survive as a viable enclave” (2864). “Think of it in terms of lifeboat morality. You cannot save everyone” (2901). Roper haal aan uit ‘n REM-liedjie: “Stand in the place where you live” (2976). Dus, wees ‘n vertikale êrensmens, nie ‘n horisontaal-kruipende nêrensmens nie (Praag 8.12.2018).
Tom Kawczynski
Ek het reeds oor drie boeke van Tom Kawczynski geskryf (Praag 09.03.2019). Sy tweede boek het as titel: The coming civil war (2018, 397p; Amazon Kindle $11,49). In daardie vorige rubriek het ek doelbewus die voorspelde burgeroorlog en die uitmekaarval van Amerika tot by hierdie geleentheid laat oorstaan. Kawczynski se boeke is akademies-wetenskaplike baie beter as dié van Billy Roper en nie so buitensporig aktivisties-propagandisties nie. Die outeur het ook die voordeel gehad dat hy kennis kon neem van Roper se boeke en dié wat Roper beïnvloed het, asook dat hy inligting tot omtrent ‘n jaar gelede kon bywerk.
Kawczynski is nasionalisties. Hy definieer nasionalisme as “love of one’s own people” (1169). Nasionaliste “want their old America back” (1169), “where people choose to live in places with people who think like they do” (2577). Insgelyks wil Afrikaners hulle vaderland terug hê. “I’m an unapologetic rightist” (2592). “Who is the Right? They’re the people who believe in America as it was” (2739). “Trump is White America in revolt, where people who represented a moral majority defending a shrinking culture have been pushed into fighting back for the country they once had” (3340). Die ideaal is “restoring the American nation and to form the identity anew, building a culture based upon the ideals we once held, updated for the new age” (2748). Soos Huntington dink Kawczynski “that culture matters a great deal, more even than economics” (2978). “If a person acts in a way which culturally passes for a race and can visibly pass for that group, they’re assumed to be part of the tribe” (3217). Dieselfde twee norme kan gebruik word om te bepaal wie as Afrikaners kwalifiseer.
Afrikaners is per definisie blank. Dit is deel van hulle trots, gevolglik moet die sug na inklusiwiteit, dus die verbreding van die begrip Afrikaner, teengestaan word. “Race is a funny construct [concept]. One’s racial background is partly genetic. But it is also partly cultural [ethnic] in the form of a set of beliefs that one affixes to their heritage and future. But it is also part choice, in that for race to have meaning, people have to embrace it as a form of identity. In America, as much as in response to the other where every other race is encouraged pride and positive identity, White identity is emerging” (3310). Swartes beweer “black is beautiful.” Blankes het net soveel of heel moontlik meer reg daarop om trots op hulle velkleur te wees. Meer as ooit tevore is dit nodig “to …legitimize white identity” (3325). Anders as die populêre voorstelling in die massa-inligtingsmedia is blankheid geensins ‘n onding nie. “The Han Chinese are notorious for defining belonging on strictly racial terms” (3699). Dieselfde kan van die Japanese gesê word (4074). Myns insiens het blankes dieselfde reg om trots op hulle blankheid te wees en die eksklusiwiteit daarvan te koester.
Volgens Kawczynski moet blanke Amerikaners hulle rug op globalisme keer en eerder sorg dat hulle kultuur en land herlewe. Hy skets hoe geestelik siek die populêre liberalistiese narratief is en noem dit “plantation thinking … where we [whites] now only exist to give what we stole back to the victims” (418). Dit is “self-destructive … misplaced altruism” (482). “The Left always knew it was easier to tell people to take what they wanted rather than earn it” (2197). In hierdie sin is die ANC se beleid ‘n enkele groot ongerepte woud oftewel “jungle thinking”. Soos by Suid-Afrikaanse blankes is daar onder Amerikaanse blankes die “corrosive morality of defeatism … for fear of being called names [eg racists], we gave up control over not just what we would think, but what our children would be taught to think” (426). Vir die regering gaan dit om “control, not liberty” (434), bv “they choose politically correct speech over free speech” (1605), wat lei tot “the rising criminalization of speech and thought” (1612). “An America with ‘safe spaces’ that exclude frank discussion is one where guns will eventually do the talking” (2608). Die ANC se oordrewe gesentraliseerde regering – “[the] dictatorship of the proletariat” (2000) – maak van vryheid ‘n hersenskim. Dink aan die ANC en sy geskiedenis/nalatenskap: “We’ve rewarded so many bad behaviors, entitled so many undeserving people” (529).
“I firmly believe Hillary [Clinton] would have won [the American presidential election in 2016] if she wasn’t white” (2378). “Asians, Latinos vote 2:1 and Blacks vote 10:1 for Democrats” (3325). “Where there were slightly under 10 million Latinos in America in 1970, this number has increased nearly six-fold since then to 57.5 million today” (3588). “The Latinos will prove the decisive bloc in determining America’s future” (3641). Diegene wat teen Trump se hervorming van die Amerikaanse immigrasiebeleid en die bou van ‘n muur op die grens met Mexiko gekant is, bv die meeste hoofstroom-inligtingsmedia, dra nie die belange van die Amerikaanse blankes op die hart nie.
“The Republican Party … will have no choice but to lead the Right to defend the identity interests of the [white] majority” (961), bv “paying families to have children and not paying out of wedlock mothers for children” (977). In 2016 “single mothers constituted 66% of the households in which Black children were being raised … By comparison, 42% of Latino, 24% of White, and only 16% of Asian children are being raised by a single mother” (3439). Die afmetings wat buite-egtelike kinders en selfdegeslagverhoudings aanneem, toon hoe suksesvol kulturele marxisme met die ondermyning van tradisionele gesinne is. Dit is heel moontlik een van die faktore waaraan die opkoms van Oosterse lande en die agteruitgang van Westerse lande toegeskryf kan word.
“Leftists wil portray billions for a border wall to be a budget buster, but … spending hundreds of billions on social services for people here illegally is an act of humanity” (984). “This cessation of accountability is at the heart of why the Left can tell their favorite lie that the Right doesn’t care about people” (1891). “[White] Americans were sick of an unfair system where good people were being told they were the problem, where all they once believed was good and just was said to [be] oppressive” (2234). “America First means a lot to the Right. It starts with the understanding that for America to remain a successful country, we need a single culture” (2242). Dít noodsaak die opbreking van die bestaande federasie van vyftig state. ‘n Interessante hedendaagse verwikkeling is dat as Amerika sou opbreek, “Left areas will draw Chinese influence and Right areas will draw Russian influence” (1752).
“According to the 2017 census estimate, whites make up 60.7% of the current American population” (3217). “The future along the current trajectory will see … White people becoming a minority by 2043 at the latest” (3226). Slegs 58% van die blanke kiesers het vir Trump as president gestem” (3302). Dít bring mee dat baie blanke Amerikaners al hoe meer op ‘n politieke koersverandering aandring, veral wat immigrasie betref. Dit sluit die ideaal van meer (oorwegend) blanke state in, danksy plattelandse gebiede wat oorweldigend blank is (3226), des te meer danksy toenemende self-segregasie.
“The biggest issues for the Trump administration have been political correctness and immigration … Although programs like affirmative action have long been loathed by many Whites, recognized as they are as unmerited subsidies to create a ladder” (3340). “For those of lesser qualifications, they were tolerated in the hope they would be used to ensure peace. But these overtures were rejected by the minorities [eg Blacks] who chose to throw in with a Left who promised to give them what others had earned … the Left has just continued to import people from a Third World rife with corruption … As we bring in people from these foreign cultures, we lose the old America” (3347). “Whites as the bedrock of the Right coalition, are moving toward the idea that conflict is preferable to submission” (3370). “Race realism … is growing in America” (3486). “Race-based cultures have already diverged” (3493), bv “Black Lives Matter [is] a radical group who expesses the separatist instinct” (3478). “Should a civil war arise over race and ideology, the odds it will take on racial characteristics … are extremely high” (3378).
Van blankes word verdraagsaamheid verwag omdat hulle glo die skuldige party is. Swartes, daarenteen, dink hulle kan maak soos hulle wil. “Tolerance has evolved into deviancy whereby nearly everything is permissible” (3895). “Everything is allowed, nothing is special” (3979). “Any offer to tolerate … is inevitably exploited to seek dominance” (3903). Maar die blankes moet nie toelaat dat hulle kultuur vertrap word nie, “because culture is what keeps us afloat. It’s what binds us … there is no middle ground” (4034). Byvoorbeeld, Afrikaners wil Afrikaans as moedertaal hê; nie ‘n mengsel van Afrikaans en Engels soos Kaaps nie.
Daar is ‘n hoofstuk elk waarin die Amerikaanse Demokrate, Republikeine, stedelinge, voorstedelikes, plattelanders, blankes, swartes, bruines (Hispaniste), geles (Chinese/Asiate), linkses en regses gekarakteriseer word en aangetoon word hoe hulle uiteraard wrywing kan veroorsaak. Van die onderliggend faktore is “ideology, residency, race, and culture” (4043). “Globalism vs nationalism [and] Christianity vs Islam” lei ook tot konflik (4043). In hierdie mengelmoes is daar veral een verskynsel wat geen oplossing bied nie, naamlik multikulturalisme, vandaar bv Brexit (4074). Tegnologiese uitvindings en vordering wat in die gebruik daarvan gemaak word “are likely to only further separation between people as we increasingly find ourselves engaging in worlds which are virtual” (4154). Dink bv aan hoe die internet, spesifiek die sosiale media, die linkse beeld wat deur die hoofstroom-inligtingsmedia geskep word, afgebreek deur ‘n veelheid van ander standpunte te versprei.
In ses hoofstukke skets Kawczynski ses scenarios, “six possible ways the next twenty years could see this cultural civil war resolve” (4160). Hulle het die volgende titels: “submission, militarism, decentralization, separation, secession, collapse” 4170). Uit die name kan redelik maklik afgelei word wat elkeen behels. Volgens Kawczynski is “summission” die waarskynlikste. Die ander sterk moontlikheid is “collapse”.
- “Submission” kom neer op ‘n oorwinning vir die linkses (4193), die “limousine liberals” (4262): “demography is destiny” (4254), soos in die nuwe Suid-Afrika. “America will become much more like Europe is today – mixed ancestry and socialist politics” (4239). “Estimated likelihood: 40%” (4308).
- “Militarism” sal ‘n oorwinning vir die regses beteken (4311). Die Amerikaanse weermag is geneig om regsgesind te wees. Die “patronage system” sal deur die “opportunity model” vervang word (4327). Verandering van die immigrasiebeleid sal voorrang geniet “to reverse the demographic trends” (4350). “America would … have to step forward and seek to actively deport illegal immigrants” (4350). ‘n “Family planning policy” kan ingestel word, “whereby married couples were offered subsidy to have children and instead single mothers were not given any support” (4366). Tans “the state basically is serving as surrogate father to single mothers” (4366) – ook in Suid-Afrika. “Estimated likelihood: 15%” (4435).
- “Decentralization” word beskryf as “the unhappy compromise” (4443), afgesien daarvan of dit aan “the idealism of the Left or the realism of the right” toegeskryf word (4451). Groter desentralisasie van bv die regering gaan nie Amerika se nypende probleme oplos nie. “Estimated likelihood: 3%” (4535).
- “Separation” is problematies omdat “vast spaces of the country are occupied by people [whites] who lean to the Right, but the population centers [cities] lean to the Left” (4551).
