THE SILENCE ON ANIMAL BEHAVIOR - THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

THE SILENCE ON ANIMAL BEHAVIOR | 2012-11-06

Admit it or not, I think about everybody here has seen "Meerkat Manor."

The real behavior of meerkats would have been astounding to anyone in the 1950s. But since then books on societal animals' behavior have been best sellers. Everything that every one of today's philosophies was built on has been rejected.

You would have difficulty believing that well into the 1960s it was assumed that no animal group held territory. Only Man had Borders.

1960s birds only chirped to attract mates. Now we know they are staking their claim, exactly the same way we do. But by the 80s the whole mythology of Nature had been blown to hell.

But here is the point: Nobody noticed.

From the point of one who remembers the BASIS of every ideology people follow today, what is most interesting about the meerkats is what DIDN'T happen.

The class system is strong in every social animal. Rousseau and Marx declared, and others believed, that animals were totally innocent of any of man's restrictions.

Marx declares that human history is a class struggle. Actually, once again, let us look at the meerkats for what DIDN'T happen. Only the number one female is the absolute boss of the whole meerkat group.

Only she may have any offspring. Only she can decide who goes and who stays.

The documentary shows a fight between the number one female and her challenger.

No one mentions what DOESN'T happen here.

According to Marx and every theory Mommy Professor argues about in 2012, when the Ruling Class is battling one on one for dominance, all the other meerkats, the sterile and oppressed ones, would unite to drive both of these Ruling Class Despots out.

Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, that NEVER happens. Not with meerkats, not in a buffalo herd, not in a chicken yard.

History has nothing to do with Class Struggle. In Russia, the battle after Lenin's death was over whether Stalin or Trotsky would be the new Czar.

Hearing Bob discuss on an earlier podcast that ALL social animals are unequal was a light bulb for me (yes I should have realized it before, be kind, I am admitting I was dumb). No such thing as equality among social animals. Please elaborate more on that sometime.

And on class struggle, how does what you say meld with another observation I've heard: That in racially homogeneous nations, the main conflicts are social and economic (between classes), whereas in mixed nations, the main lines of conflict quickly get to race. Is that true in everyone's opinion? This is for Bob and anyone else.

#2 Daniel Genseric | 2012-11-06 11:14

Equality is THE social construct.

Socioeconomic factors are dependent ON race. You cut right through the "Who belongs here" and "who gets to stay" BS straight away in an ethnically homogeneous society.

Everyone shares in the opportunity to be held accountable and can be presented an option to solve real problems.

"I was dumb"

Boy, haven't I experienced that a lot since discovering BUGS.

Re your question, the smatterings of history I "know" seem to me to indicate a yes answer, despite Bob's statement.

I know the Roman plebes organized to get a fairer deal from the upper classes, and certainly our own working class organized to get a fairer deal. But what I don't know, and never would have thought to ask before, is who organized them, and for possibly what other purposes?

The only thing I feel fairly certain of is that I'm bound to have some distorted ideas about all that. I imagine Bob and maybe some others here have read and understood more history than I have and could enlarge my understanding.

I've read enough to feel rather sure that the lifting up (if such it has been, in general) of negroes in our own country wasn't primarily organized from within. So now I wonder if the same has been true of other struggles that have a class aspect.

In the matter of class struggle & its effect on our nations & race study The Frankfurt School too. The commies were talking about the "class struggle just as WW 1 was breaking out, and after. They predicted that the "working class" would rise up & throw off their oppressors and establish a new order. When the workers remained loyal to their rulers & countries the Commies had to come up with a new plan. The result was multiculturalism & all the rest of their nonsense. Also, read The Roosevelt Red Record & Its Background by Elizabeth Dilling.

LMAO! (Even though the failure to understand this is so sad). What a gem!

I never heard of "Meerkat Manor." Cute little buggers, though. To look at.

That's what whites are hypnotized by anti-whites to see when they look at humans: warm and fuzzy little creatures ready to live together in loving peace and harmony if someone will only give them the chance!

A maddening delusion to deal with! The rock-hardness of the results of millions of years of competitive evolution, and the record of human history, mean NOTHING to the hypnotized!

#6 Frank | 2012-11-06 13:33

HD, your last sentence above could easily be "translated" to ...

"To the demoralized, true facts mean nothing".

You say hypnotized, I say demoralized.

You say rock-hardness of etc, etc. I say reality.

Thanks for saying! Just saying ... :)

The white race has given nonwhites sanctuary in multifaceted ways.

That is the simple truth.

Nonwhite intellectuals cannot imagine what it means to be cast out of that sanctuary.

They think words are real and they believe words trump reality itself. They think the sanctuary they have been so generously gifted is a result of the power of their words.

A rude awakening is coming their way.

#9 Harumphty Dumpty | 2012-11-06 11:47

Wow! Another gem!

#10 Frank | 2012-11-06 13:35

Dave, I imagine that is why they call them (those cities where this occurs) "Sanctuary Cities".

#11 Daniel Genseric | 2012-11-06 14:37

They are not just a "safe place". "Sanctuary City" simply means 'a city of worship'.

THIS - this thing that happens ONLY to white neighborhoods, cities, states, and nations - white genocide is holy rite numero uno in the cult of Political Correctness.

The Mantra unravels the tangled web they weave.

A society based on EQUALITY is a slave ship. Everybody rows equally, no matter strength. Somebody beats the drum and somebody cracks the whip. It knows nothing of love, kindness, respect, courtesy, charity or FUN. An equal society becomes an antheap. Our white race MUST survive.

#13 Conrad | 2012-11-06 18:08

The white race will only survive IF it obeys the laws of nature. It's natures law that those that are weak & stupid must die. Whites gave their countries away, if they cannot or will not take them back then they will not survive, nor should they.

HD, I'm having the same problem. But I forgot to add something to my reply to Dave above.

In the Chinese game of Weiqi (known more often here as GO), the object is to surround space, ie territory, and defend that space by not allowing enemy formations to build inside of it. The word "Wei" in Weiqi means "surrounding" in order to claim territory, or sanctuary.

What looks defensive is also offensive, and vice-versa. Life exists inside of borders of "stones". Not all borders in real life look like black or white weiqi "stones".

The "Life" of a formation, a line of stones around space-territory, is a function of whether the player has CREATED "sanctuary" for his own strength. The opponent doesn't provide sanctuary, but seeks to prevent it from occurring in his own space(s).

Nobody who is GIVEN sanctuary has any power.

Only those who CREATE their own sanctuary, ie "Life Spaces" have power.

Those spaces don't always have to be contiguous, but can be a network of defensible spaces.

Weiqi is not a board game, and it's not Chinese.

#16 Wm White | 2012-11-06 17:13

As Bob has eluded, every society (animal or human) has elites of some kind or another. If the (anti-white and non-white) elites of today can be purged, then controls must be put in place that allows for the periodically pruning of wayward elites --if a white society is to remain healthy.

A white society survives best if it is "moderately" individualistic and meritocratic in nature. But there must also be a hierarchical harmony among the social classes; WITH punitive social controls on extreme (anti-white) selfish behavior among its white elite. But equally important is to never allow AGAIN a (non-white elite) control of any white societies destiny or direction that untenable situation is the dark blanket covering us today and if left unchecked will be an unequivocal death sentence to our children and future generations.

#17 Conrad | 2012-11-06 18:12

I absolutely agree.

I've watched this show and remember two packs of meerkats actually having a battle for territory.

#19 shari | 2012-11-06 19:02

Wm White, I do agree also.

(I could not get the quote function to work properly, forgive the workaround here. Dave says:

"Nonwhite intellectuals cannot imagine what it means to be cast out of that sanctuary.

They think words are real and they believe words trump reality itself. They think the sanctuary they have been so generously gifted is a result of the power of their words.

God I hope you are correct Dave. And soon. I have white children who's future (and children's future) I'm fighting for. There's NOTHING I won't do to secure it. Nothing. Let him who has ears...well, you guys know the rest.
