Reality is more than just superficial appearances..
The progressive obsession with viewing human beings as blank slates is fundamentally flawed..
Many of us are familiar with the metaphor of the “cargo cult.” The term itself was coined by the famous physicist Richard Feynman...
Briefly, the phenomenon of the cargo cult was observed in the South Pacific during World War II. Pacific Islanders would observe the Americans building runways and control towers... The islanders would build their own bamboo mockups... expecting that planes full of food and medicines would come to them as well...
Ultimately, cargo cults rested on a form of magical thinking, on the failure to understand the fundamental reasons for why a phenomenon was taking place...
In many ways, the current progressive obsession with "white privilege" is essentially the same kind of thinking...
Yet, as western nations continue to import low-IQ third worlders, they will not be able to maintain the level of civilisation that they have hithertofore achieved...
An excellent example of this is found in the decolonialisation of Africa and other parts of the third world. It showed that you can build the infrastructure of western material civilisation and fill it with the spirit of western law and religion, but you can’t maintain it without Euros or Anglos. When the westerners departed, the streets and sewers and airports were left, but the "mental infrastructure" needed to purvey these resources into genuine societal success were lacking...
The progressive obsession with viewing human beings as blank slates – free of all interference from genetics or inherited culture – is a fundamentally flawed way of understanding humanity...
Civic nationalism is the very quintessence of the nominalism that underlies this cargo cult mentality: we’ll take a non-westerner, give him a piece of paper that says he’s a citizen, and pretend that he becomes one of us merely by naming him as such. Propositional citizenship (and by extension, nationhood) of this type is wishful thinking at its most destructive.
It’s completely cargo cult....
UN Agenda 21 , 2030 , Great Reset . ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
It’s either incorrectly assuming the direction of the arrow of causation or denying that it has a direction. They do the same thing in ‘science’ all the time; witness all the nutrition dogma.
True statement.
Africa was a target of Soviet expansion. Combine that with the Islamic strangulation already in place and you have the makings of a dead continent. I'm just waiting until the Chinese learn what the phrase 'Africa wins again' means the hard way.
I disagree. The western world had plenty of "religion" that wasn't maintained until we had the First and Second Great Awakenings. In other words, it has to be more than just law and religion. Our relationships with God have to be real. Loving God and loving others has to be part of how we define ourselves and our culture. Africa needs a great awakening, not a change in skin pigmentation. Us English speakers should fear losing our culture to the hedonists among us, regardless of our white skin.
We don't be like the Jews in Jesus' time who thought that their ancestry was enough. Matthew 3:9 -- And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

There can be no one world, New World Order as long as America exists in its current state.
“Progressives” are retards in every sense of the word.
There are smart grifters that harness the ‘tards numbers and either rob them directly, or use them to rob others. Just depends on where the loot is.
Cargo cult mentality come to mind in respect to transgender-ism ans especially the “transition” process.
An excellent example of this is found in the decolonialisation of AfricaWhite privilege is open to all who dare, regardless of color -- as long as white culture, whatever you want to call it, protestant or middle class ethic, etc., persists, that is.
Good article, and clearly accurate.
Raciss honkeys all gotta die.
“we’ll take a non-westerner, give him a piece of paper that says he’s a citizen, and pretend that he becomes one of us merely by naming him as such.”
The real life equivalent of giving Scarecrow a diploma.
Silly me! I thought the term “cargo cult” stemmed from a religious perspective, hence the term “cult” in the name. Missionaries would land in a primitive area and have a lot of stuff, bright, shiny amazing stuff. The indigenous people want the stuff so they put on a veneer of the missionary’s belief. The very sad thing is the stuff never arrives for them and then one of two things happen. They continue worshipping their false god hoping to appease the deity so they, too would get stuff. The second happening is that the people would turn away from the new belief system embracing their former beliefs involving fetishes, cannibalism, and human sacrifice.
Thank you.
I think the Chinese may be ruthless enough to win over Africa. If need be, by exterminating the native Africans and repopulating the continent with their own people.
We are not only importing ignorant people but we are deliberately training our children to grow up idiots.
Frankly the low IQ people that are crossing the border, as a general rule will ultimately make better Americans than most University graduates.
