The promised Nephews update - and yes, it relates to Mantra thinking!
Going Back Home To The Hills is like the scene in Atlas Shrugged, when Dagny and Hank were looking for the factory where the John Galt Motor was created; as they traveled further from Civilization, they saw things just falling apart - worn out, peeling paint, and an increasing state of disrepair.
Welcome to "Post-Industrial America."
I can't use the term, "Post-Industrial Civilization," because those are mutually contradictory terms.
No.
Three main points:
One, we caught all kinds of Hell because the Nephews showed up wearing their Nice Suits. One of the Aunts said, "Those boys will be getting swelled heads from all that acting like they are better than the rest of us."
And then, it hit me.
They WERE "better than the rest of us"; MUCH damn better, in fact.
I hadn't seen the Nephews in terms of dramatic "Before and After" picture; it had been like a movie, to me, and the scenes blurred into one another.
They walked like Ambassadors from the Next Society, with perfect USMC OCS posture.
And the animosity kicked into high gear the moment we walked in.
Only their Father took our side, and I realized why coming through town - such as it had become - on the way in.
Everything is falling apart; work has left, and will NEVER return in our lifetime. No economic plan can make it happen. (Hint: Detroit can not compete with Alabama and Mississippi, much less China.)
It's a town that is slowly dying, and the local politicians are trying desperately to keep their tax base together; the new source for "revenue generation" is speed cops with radar guns...
It's like watching everything fall apart, at a time where we can scrap a Past that no longer works, and develop a Future - a much damn BETTER Future.
Two, the animosity - active animosity, at any rate - came mostly from the women! The wise ones realize that yesterday is GONE, and the Nephews are working on the Future.
The Past served them well, but the Past is DEAD.
The unique animosity came from the Men, who all talked of how The System does not work for them at all, and SOMETHING ought to be done.
Total alienation from a System that they see as having failed them - except for the Social Security and Medicare, of course.
Three, after Thanksgiving dinner - all of the Elders - men and women - asked if I could take time to "talk about a few things for a few minutes." These were people I had not seen in over a decade, and some, much longer than that.
I told the Nephews to drive around town and see what's happening, and drop by and say Hi!" to their friends. When they came back, they told me they didn't want to see their friends from high school, but saw "everything that is happening in town, And, uh, Uncle? Can we leave for home ahead of schedule, and, like, skip the weekend up here?"
Yes.
The Family Talk was about the totally collapsed economy and the totally absent economic future for the peer generation of my Nephews, and horror stories about the children in school - poor education, poorly educated, no jobs when they get out of school, no skills, no hope.
Substance abuse is at epidemic levels.
Domestic violence is kept in check with prescription tranquilizers, and generous portions of hard liquor.
This is one I haven't seen reported in the Lamestream Media, you might want to keep an eye out for it.
Families are moving back Home, and three generations - and EXTENDED families - are living under one roof.
We are regressing economically to the levels of, say, 1940!
Anyway, I was asked if I could "make a little room" for the Nephews peer group.
I am conflicted; I don't have the money to do much in that area, even if I wanted to, but DAMN, their future resembles something about two steps ahead of "The Grapes of Wrath."
The Elders - MY peer group - talked about dealing with a lot of issues, and felt BOTH parties had failed them, and there was a real need for a REAL third political party, one that "looks after the White Man, the guys who made this country what everyone else wants to move to."
MANTRA!
So, a new political sensibility might be developing in America.
Oh, by the way, thanks to the President for this:
<b>White Guilt Is OVER!</b>
The one theme I heard repeatedly was, "NOW, the niggers have NOTHING to complain about."
When one of the women looked at the first man to say that, she glared at him, and her sister said, "Hush up. He's RIGHT! Something's gotta be done about this country."
I'll do my small part, starting with my Nephews.
Incidentally, speaking of my wonderful Posterity, they said they didn't want to meet any of their old friends from high school, as they "were just spending their time getting high and playing video games."
So, slowly, a Culture of Achievement is developing.
I asked them about which of their peer group they think would do best if they moved in with us down at "Fight Club."
They were very sheepish, and said, "Let's talk about that on the way back Home."
Reread that last word - "HOME" - and see why I am so very happy, tonight.
I said that was fine with me, and I would tell their people I would think about bringing their peer group down, and get back to them around, say, Christmas.
They looked at me and said, "Can we leave, like, tonight?"
"No, guys, the long ride up here wears me out, and I have some things to discuss while I'm up here. We'll leave tomorrow night, OK?"
They were chomping at the bit to leave the Old America, an America that is slowly falling apart.
My philosophy, my Work, is now to spend every minute I have remaining building the Living Foundation for the Next America, with my Nephews as exemplars.
And, as I said repeatedly during the Family Meeting, "I am going to deal with EVERY ISSUE in the Light of a Positive Theory of Race:
Family, as the microcosm of Race;
Race, as the macrocosm of Family, and...
Race, as the Living Bridge between Family and Culture."
We had some exciting discussions, and I didn't back down for a minute.
More to follow!
PS - the Nephews are MOTIVATED!
