… White identity politics, understood on its own terms rather than through the distorting lens of its most hostile interpreters, is not an argument for fascism, racial hierarchy, or the restoration of any historical system of domination. It is, at its core, the position that the multicultural project as it has been implemented in Western societies has failed to produce the harmonious, integrated future its architects promised, and that white people ought to be permitted the same relationship to cultural pride and civilizational continuity that every other group is not only allowed, but actively encouraged to cultivate and celebrate. Whites are, in a genuinely remarkable cultural inversion, the one group for whom expressions of cultural pride are treated as inherently suspect, as evidence of latent hostility rather than ordinary attachment to one's heritage and community. A society that systematically pathologizes the cultural confidence of its historically constitutive population is not a society that has solved the problem of social cohesion; it is a society that has simply transferred the instability from one location to another while congratulating itself on its moral progress.
I say all of this as a black man who lives in the West and who has no interest in pretending that the achievements of Western civilization are either incidental or evenly distributed across human cultures and history. The things that make Western societies functional, and that make them the destinations that people across the world consistently choose when they are free to choose, are not accidents of geography or the spoils of exploitation. Patent and copyright law, the limited liability corporation, the independent judiciary, the regulatory frameworks that have been adopted and adapted across the globe, including the financial regulatory sandbox that Britain developed and that has since been widely replicated, these are Western inventions that reflect a particular civilizational tradition of institutional creativity and formal economic reasoning. Mercantilism as a practice existed in various forms before the West engaged with it, but mercantilism as a theorized and formally articulated economic policy is a Western intellectual contribution. The very concept of progress, the idea that history moves in a direction and that human societies can be deliberately improved rather than simply endured, is a Western idea with a specific intellectual genealogy. Western civilization has been the most generative and institutionally creative society in recorded history, and the argument that its founding population deserves to see that civilization sustained is not an argument that requires an apology.
What white identitarians are ultimately saying to prospective billionaire patrons is something quite simple: that the people who built the societies where everyone wants to live, whose legal systems everyone wants to operate within, whose technologies everyone wants to use, and whose institutional frameworks have become the global standard, deserve to have their cultural and civilizational continuity treated as a legitimate interest rather than an embarrassing anachronism. Billionaires who have spent years funding anti-racist initiatives that produced division rather than reconciliation, and the mainstream conservative media that spawned outrage rather than thought, have not purchased safety or respectability through those choices. They have purchased association with intellectual mediocrity and social dysfunction at considerable cost. The pitch from Taylor, Woods, and Zsutty may make people uncomfortable, but discomfort is not an argument. Those who find the proposition objectionable are welcome to construct a principled case against it, but that case should probably begin with an honest account of why they choose to live in Western countries, conduct their affairs under Western legal frameworks, and depend daily on Western technologies, if the civilization that produced all of those things is so contemptible.
