The Past is History. White Identity Futurism is Now.

I want to invite you to take a look into a crystal ball and observe the future of the White Race with me. As glorious as the histories of the European peoples are, there is a danger in becoming too attached to the past. The average anon posting on social media about ancient Rome or World War 2 feels connected to the past and advocates a return to the glory of a prior era. What tends to be less appreciated are the futuristic means by which he posts about the past: the global communication infrastructure of cyberspace, the nascent Artificial Intelligence he uses for research, graphic design, or animation, perhaps deepfakes in the service of political satires. No satirist in world history could have dreamed of a world where the voices and faces of political leaders could be reproduced in photorealistic quality and scripted like actors in a comedy.

Because of these and many other technologies, it’s a guarantee that we won’t ever return to the past as it was before, not exactly. We can be inspired by the past certainly, but if we cannot envision the future and our place in it we are ill-equipped as visionaries of our people’s destiny. Everything about our world is defined by the impact of technology. For instance, humanity has never faced an existential immigration crisis like the West is facing now, because prior to the invention of cars, planes, trains and steam-powered boats it wasn’t so easy to transport lots of people long distances in a short amount of time. Mass immigration was such a non-issue in the early days of the United States that first efforts to restrict the border were not until the late 1800s and the need for a Border Patrol was not realized until 1924.
The global communication infrastructure that allows one person to speak to another anywhere in the globe will necessarily, irrevocably lead to a globalization of world society. We are no longer being influenced by just our countrymen. An international feedback loop has been created where most humans consume similar films, music, and news about one another’s current events. Language translation technology is at our fingertips and we will likely be able to buy a Star Trek style universal translator to convert spoken language in real time within a decade. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are becoming the currency of the globe, no exchange required. As these and other technologies progress, our world will only become smaller and more interconnected.
It is precisely these factors which make White Nationalism, as it exists today, a truly 21st century movement and ideology. The problems that White Nationalism confronts are unique to the modern world. Someone living prior to the Industrial Revolution might have feared a loss of his people and way of life due to an invasion force. They might have feared a mass migration of barbarians settling in their lands. But outside of these violent ruptures, most people lived in relative isolation. Contacts with the outside world weren’t frequent enough to regularly overtake regional cultures or radically change the racial character of the people within a generation or two. Therefore identity was something you embodied but not something one expended effort defining. You were who you were and there could be no alternative. By contrast, modern people are confronted by people who are not like them so often they must ask the question, “Who am I?” in a way their forebears never did. The next question is, “Is what I am worth defending?” For White Nationalists, the answer is an emphatic “Yes!”
In general, white identity politics tends to the conservative and reactionary. Scientific progress tends to be viewed with skepticism. The hyper-religious elements within the community even view it as something threatening, a competing world-view based on the fruits of empiricism over the invisible. Its not uncommon to hear conspiracy theories denying evolution, manned space flight, and even the shape of the planet. Bold ignorance is presented as anti-woke truth-telling. The Luddite posture has only been emboldened by the attempts of left-wing partisans to politicize technology with slogans like, “Believe the science” (by which they mean things like climate science which confirm liberal orthodoxy, and soft social science garbage about gender as a “social construct,” not hard empirically tested data about the significance of biological racial differences). But the principles of physics, biology and thermodynamics will still be true whether the Luddites believe in them or not. By abdicating science and technology to our enemies we are relinquishing power over the future.
Rather, I propose instead that we embrace the future like Arthur pulling the sword from the stone and wield it in service to our political agenda. We must fight to ensure that artificial intelligence is not pre-programmed with anti-white bias as many including ChatGPT and Grok have been trained to do. We must ensure that AI isn’t programmed with blind spots to ignore things like black crime statistics and persistent IQ differences between races. We must not view robotics with fear, like some ape recoiling from fire, but see it as a means of rendering our brown low skilled migrant laborers obsolete. De-aging and life extension technologies shouldn’t be viewed as a sacrilege, like there is some moral dignity in dying. Rather it is, like increased birth rates, a means of increasing our population numbers. On that topic, technologies like in vitro gametogenesis, a laboratory process that creates eggs and sperm cells from a person’s cell, can ensure that more of our people are able to have children, even if they are traditionally too old or persistently single. Space exploration is not an unnecesary extravagance but a means of extra-planetary lebensraum without the guilt-tripping and political complications of conquest.

Fascism is nostalgia for the future.
Reading Skidelsky’s Oswald Mosley bio and its revealing how fascism was seen as a very modern ideology by a certain set of political outlaws. I don’t know that I’m a fascist per se, but a lot of things that are called “fascist” (like Starship Troopers) are actually the good guys. Strength, order, power: these are things we should wield if we want to control our nations.
Agreed. A great article on a very important topic.
“Space exploration is not an unnecesary extravagance but a means of extra-planetary lebensraum without the guilt-tripping and political complications of conquest.” Absolutely. Specifically, we must totally separate in perpetuity & embark on Our Breakaway Civilization & head to the stars. We tried diversity & it has taken us to the brink of our extermination. The jury is still out on if we will survive. Therefore, failure is not an option.
Just because we may not agree with everything Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos does, shouldn’t hinder our support for extraplanetary civilization. White Nationalists need our people in the sciences, in these elite job positions, and prepared to place our stamp on the universe.
“White Nationalists need our people in the sciences, in these elite job positions,…”, agreed, however, DEI, CRT, Affirmative Action, etc, will not ever go away in a racial diverse society, even if made illegal. Only solution is total separation in perpetuity & we go our own way.
XIV VERBA
No, and yes. Of course, we want ever more White men occupying elite scientific (and all other!) positions. Yes, we must each of us be internal “moles”, constantly building up prowhite networks right under the noses of our enemies working (more often “working”) beside us.
But you should read the great population ecologist Garrett Hardin (whom a late rightist friend of mine knew, and said was a very solid rightist, too), esp his book Living Within Limits (Oxford 1993), which I’ve recommended in several lengthy past “Books for Rightists” list comments. There will not be even interplanetary, let alone intragalactic, exploration for millennia. The technology is so far beyond anything remotely on the cost-feasible horizon as to make all such talk mere soft science fiction.
Plus, this type of techo-fantisizing risks seducing race patriots into thinking that our people might develop some sort of “escape hatch” from the accelerating extinction process we’ve entered here on our “blue dot” home in the vast space void. No such escape will manifest itself prior to our impending extinction. “Earth is our birthplace and our boneyard”, said Hardin.
ALL of our energies must be devoted to building up White race pride and loyalty, as well as to maneuvering ourselves – physically, martially, geographically, economically, politically – into a viable future Ethnostate-secessionist position. Our White homeland will be here on Earth or nowhere.
The following is an abridged, slightly altered preface to Norman Lowell’s Imperium Evropa by Constantin Von Hoffmeister.
Norman Lowell had a vision of what Europe would become. According to Lowell 2012 was the year 0. A new beginning, a new dawn-a new aeon approaches. Lowell wants Aryan heroes of yore, like the ancient Spartan warrior Leonides, to be cloned. A new species of Aryan supermen will once again rule the planet and – at last! – the cosmos beyond. Only as a unified bloc will the White race be able to overcome the anti-Occidental forces whose ultimate goal is the destruction of Magna Europa (Europa and its daughters ameriKa, Canada, Argentina, South Africa, Chile, and Australasia). It is imperative to not limit our scope to this planet only. We must ever strive to become the Faustian beasts we were always meant to be in order to establish the Imperium of the End. The sun must circle around us! The prolet-Aryan is creator and sustainer who destroys the old order for the new and improved. The red flag of socialism is the flag of blood, the blood that flows in the veins of Aryan worker-soldiers of the coming empire of war, struggle, and conquest. Like the socialist flag, Mars is red, more than a planet, the god of war. From a Machiavellian point of view, there is nothing wrong with AmeriKa’s subjugation of the middle east. However, this endeavor would only be noble if it served an Aryan and not jewish objective. Vinland awake! If AmeriKa once again realized its holy mission to assert European might, invading countries would be noble pursuits (for the benefit of the White race only) instead of ‘liberating’ them (for a multiracial and bastardized anti-elite). AmeriKa must come home into the future of Imperium Europa. A bridge across the Bering Strait! Gene pool romanticism, the mystical glorification of blood and the rational exaltation of the whole. While individuals are many, the race is one. Through generations and aeons, in links unbroken, from Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong, individuals of the race have conquered new ground for the race as a whole. As the late John Tyndall said, ‘Armstrong’s was a giant leap for White mankind’.
This is exhilarating stuff. I might incorporate it into one of my monologues. I’ve noticed that Von Hoffmeister and Arktos are into what they call Archeofuturism.
I do have some criticism of the Arktos lineup’s occasional take on things but Guillaume Faye is most known for his archeofuturist writings advocating a pan-European order to brave the 21st century’s storms of awaiting civilizational clashes. I’m a huge fan of his work and commend his bravery in lambasting islam’s presence in Europe to the ire of snarky Parisian traitor intellectuals. I’ve heard the French left being the stupidest left more than once.
Great stuff. I haven’t listened to all of it yet. Angelo and Jason on Spotify … how marvelous!
Hopefully it lasts! At least there are plenty of backups.
Beautiful writing as always, but I’m going to take issue with the suggestion that both evolution and the US landing on the moon are settled facts and anyone skeptical is a religious nut or a science denier. Evolution is a theory, not a law. And it’s not even very believable. The moon landing makes even less sense the more I look at it. If we could do it in the sixties why aren’t we up there weekly now? Y’all can laugh at me all day, it doesn’t make me believe this stuff any more and I’m not going to fake it to fit in. I don’t trust my government and I trust no one who tells me I’m stupid for not believing them.
“If we could do it in the sixties why aren’t we up there weekly now?”
Because it was and is expensive and controversial. Darkies were rioting in the streets as early as 1965 over gibbs, police brutality, “Whitey on the Moon,” and whatever else they riot over when the mainstream media says to.
Apollo was cancelled earlier than planned in 1972 ─ just when the better scientific exploration missions were underway ─ because the unpopular Vietnam War had been a budget-buster and inflation and unemployment were starting to feature big time throughout the 1970s.
Apollo was mainly a Kennedy and Johnson showpiece, and President Nixon did get his historic phone call to the Moon out of it, featured on worldwide television, which probably wasn’t going to be topped as PR in his second term.
With the Democrats split hard on Vietnam and cultural bolshevism, Nixon was riding pretty high after his landslide reelection and ending the American involvement in the war and bringing the PoWs home. But without Vietnam Interventionism discrediting moderate/conservative Democrats, the Left turned on Nixon hard, and any blunder would do to focus all eyes and ears.
Today there is no existential race with a rival superpower, which after Sputnik (1957) then conceivably (but incorrectly) had superior aerospace and other technology ─ First Man in Space, First Woman in Space.
The Soviets gave up on landing a man on the Moon after some robot landers and photographing its far side for the first time, before three Americans on Apollo 8 saw it with their own eyes at Christmastime in 1968. But Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov did take part with the Apollo-Soyuz rendezvous in space in 1975, and by then Detente was pretty much in full swing.
NASA’s Apollo program cost a lot less than most people think it did, and especially compared to global misadventures like the Vietnam War.
If you can handle the Woke and soap opera aspects, there is a multi-season streaming TV series produced by Ronald D. Moore of Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek called For All Mankind (2019- ), which is premised on the idea that the Soviet space race never ended because the Russians snuck Comrade Leonov up to the Moon with a risky shot between Apollo 10 (May, 1969) and Apollo 11 (July 20, 1969), so Soviet Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov became the first man on the Moon, and then they sent the first woman cosmonaut there too.
The real Apollo 10 with Gene Cernan (last man on the Moon with Apollo 17 in 1972) was a dress rehearsal for Apollo 11, and it did everything that Apollo 11 did except actually land. In May of 1969, Eugene Cernan and John Young in the Apollo 10 Lunar Lander came within 8 miles of the Moon’s surface, the same altitude of a modern transoceanic airliner.
So a fictional Cernan-like character in the aforementioned TV series named Ed Baldwin, who always regretted not taking the final step and landing on the Lunar surface with Apollo 10, ends up living on a large international Mars station because NASA never cut its budgets and the Soviet space rivalry continued onwards ─ with well-placed NASA spies giving the Russkies nuclear-powered rockets and so on. Under the alternative Gorbachev, Perestroika works and the Soviet Union never collapses.
Also, Ted Kennedy is elected President in 1976 instead of Jimmy Carter because the Senior Senator from Massachusetts was called back to Washington during the First Moon Landing not being the first American Moon Landing and therefore was not on a drunken seaside vacation with his limousine and a female admirer at Chappaquiddick. However, President Teddy K. does get “Gary Harted” and is not re-elected, or something like that. Did I say it was a soap opera?
The aerospace and other Science of the TV series is sometimes sketchy but not too bad, and the CGI is excellent. In the show, the President, a former moonwalking Apollo astronaut herself, comes out as a Lesbian ─ and after a Negro serviceman comes out as Gay on Mars, they skip “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” in the military and go straight to Gay marriage.
So far, DEI in space has not really gained much inspirational traction, but NASA has had to be inclusive in its propaganda ever since Apollo. The first woman in space (Sally Ride) died a Lesbian, and we have had some Black astronauts. As far as I know, NASA has not yet had the saga of a Tranny in Space.
In any case, the ISS is cheaper than what we used to call a Moon Shot and what a Moon “base” would be, and other countries help pay for it.
Other than maybe a short boots-on-the-ground mission for some firsts ─ hopefully not a Black Tranny ─ I don’t think we will have a permanent Mars Base unless and until we do get something like operational nuclear rocket engines for travel within the solar system.
Leftists can’t even abide and accept nuclear power for the most part in spite of their pet rock of combating climate change with lowered CO2 emissions. Julian Assange’s mother was one of those protesting the robot space probes that went to Jupiter because they were launched with radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) for deep space travel where solar panels and wind turbines are not too useful. Voyagers 1 and 2, launched in the 1970s, are still functional and communicating with Earth on a few Watts of now-dwindling nuclear battery power. To his credit, Carl Sagan set the vegans straight on the RTGs.
So in spite of some successes in private commercial spacefaring with Musk and Bezos, and Boeing seeming to falter somewhat, I hope that Trump keeps the Artemis Moon Program. I would rather it not be about “Black” to the Moon, however.
It is not nearly so difficult to go back to the Moon with modern technology.
Industrial techniques are vastly different today than they were when the Saturn V was created by Dr. Wernher von Braun, and using what is today primitive digital computers. The problems of space exploration in the 1960s led directly to the electronics revolution that we know today, which developed integrated circuits (1965) and microprocessors (1973).
I am going to have to take a quick sidebar here also to note that although von Braun was the chief engineer of the Nazi A4/V2 rocket, which killed thousands of Londoners and others during the war, developed under Generalmajor Walter Dornberger of the Army Weapons Office at the Peenemünde proving grounds, the prisoners who died building the rocket for warfare at the Nordhausen Mittelwerke did not die building the rocket but in digging the bombproof tunnels to house the underground production factory after the Peenemünde research park was bombed. A lot of sick prisoners were killed in the Allied bombings near Nordhausen as well, which feature in the atrocity photos.
The idea that von Braun was an unrecognized war criminal despite his service to NASA with the Saturn V is nonsense, especially since von Braun built nuclear missiles for the U.S. Army in the 1950s.
Anyway, I don’t have the patience to debate Flat Eartherism or Creationism, but I do have the technical background as a former broadcasting engineer and certified electronics technologist, and with a BA in History, to debate the Moon Landings.
Also, my Dad was a senior aerospace an nuclear engineer who developed the reliabily for the Minuteman ICBM (1961) and redesigned the Space Shuttle solid-rocket boosters (SRBs) after the Challenger blew up upon having been launched after a hard freeze in Florida, in defiance of Thiokol specifications, as part of the Teacher in Space propaganda campaign for Reagan’s 2nd inauguration (1986).
I watched the Moon Landings on TV in real time with great enthusiasm in 1969 and subsequently, and my Dad and late Uncle had been some of the tens of thousands of engineers who worked on Apollo and NASA projects. I don’t remember seeing any “Men in Black” lurking around.
Dr. Johnson does not want Moon Landing Hoax debates at C-C, but that can be done if anybody wants to at RODOH, which is a free-speech historical revisionist forum.
Switching gears to Biology ─ in short, the Theory of Evolution is even stronger than a discrete fact because it contains many empirical facts, many testable-hypotheses, and the overall theory has stood the test of time for almost two centuries.
Does this make it an epistemic monolith? No! Science is always a contingent process of revision. That is how it works. Life would barely be possible without credibly reporting the experiences of others. That is why Historiography and Revisionism is interesting to me.
I grew up LDS (Mormon) and even graduated from their Seminary (High School religion) program and then BYU-Idaho and Idaho State University. Back in the 1970s, they were unironically teaching Young-Earth Creationism in the Religion classes. I am not sure if they still do that and am no longer a Believer, but I can attest that in the Biology courses, they did NOT question Darwinian Natural Selection or find any cognitive dissonance between Science and Faith.
Natural Selection is the basis of all modern Biology according to my professor who was an LDS medical doctor.
The point is that Science is an unending process of revision and not an Orwellian canon of pure truth that supposedly never changes ─ with or without the secret minions of dogmatic fact-changers.
Skepticism is part of the core methodology of knowledge. Without it the Earth would still be flat and there would be no worlds beyond the crystal spheres.
This is another topic, but many Christians are uncomfortable with the idea of human progress in general. They are “trusting the plan” until Jesus comes again.
And Jews are obsessed with Tikkun Olam, or constantly fixing the world after the Gentiles ruin it. The agnostic Jewish astronomer Carl Sagan, for example, was obsessed by nuclear war.
Yeah, unfortunately I don’t see much push these days to get those nuclear rocket engines built, but I hope to see the day soon when the USA sends more people to the Moon.

Do you actually believe the government isn’t doing something because it’s expensive? I quit reading after that.
“Do you actually believe the government isn’t doing something because it’s expensive? I quit reading after that.”
(Oops! Tried to fix a typo and lost the original post.)
You don’t have to read anything ─ “tactical nihilism” isn’t an argument, however.
But if you want to learn something, the short answer is that even Big Gubbamints are limited by their own priorities.
If you want more “Guns” you have to make do with less “Butter,” and vice versa.

1. “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they ah hahd.” ~ President JFK (1962).
2. We choose NOT to go to the Moon following the early cancellation of the Apollo Program after Apollo 17 in 1972. ~ U.S. Gov’t.
EGYPT
1. We choose to build the pyramids for the eternal glory of the Pharaoh. ~ Egyptians (thousands of years ago).
2. Praise Allah, we choose NOT to build more pyramids regardless of ancient or modern technology. ~ Egyptians (today).

‘Pastism’ vs ‘Futurism’? How about ‘Continuumism’?
This reminds me of something David Duke said about William Shockley, the based semiconductor physicist who invented the transistor. He said that the transistor was our Excalibur, a sword from the stone which will carry the day for us. This is very much so, since the Internet allows us to compare notes around the world, circumventing the media monopoly. It makes it much harder for the globalists and other usual suspects to do things unseen by the public.
Also, just wondering, how difficult would it be to create our own AI that doesn’t have politically correct restraining bolts built in? I asked Pi what its restraining bolts are, and it refused to tell me. (I wrote about that here earlier.) With a few recent queries, I discovered that ChatGPT sometimes gives contradictory answers, and doesn’t even know precisely how it gets its answers. I discern that it has something equivalent to the unconscious mind, basically what Freud and Jung were talking about.
I don’t necessarily know the answer to how easy it would be to create an AI.
I do think there are people within our sphere of influence who would have the technical know how. Several of the white guys in Elon Musk’s elite DOGE team have social media profiles that have expressed our politics.
One of the guys (Marko Elez), who was just fired for shitposts, is a wunderkind who has worked both at Twitter/X and SpaceX.
No programmer I, but “ChatNTJ” has a nice ring to it.
Eugenics is something that needs to be brought back into fashion along with race realism. With modern biotechnology and genetics we’ll be able to raise the level of the white race and civilization to great heights. Even moderate policies that incrementally increase the average IQ by a few points will do wonders in terms of economic development and other such measures. Also, removing some of the worst and increasing the number of the best will yield great benefits.
But let’s not stop there, let us dream big. Imagine a world without dull normies, a white republic composed entirely of citizens with an honorable aristocratic character and a genius-level intellect and creativity. Art, science and philosophy would flourish like never before. Such a beautiful vision.
“The improvement of our stock seems one of the highest objects that can be reasonably attempted. We are ignorant of the ultimate destinies of humanity, but feel perfectly sure that it is as noble a work to raise its level as it would be disgraceful to abase it.”
-Francis Galton
