Building a sensible nationalism

I’ve been advised not to write about a certain divisive subject so much. As it happens, I’m pretty tired of it myself, so before I put this particular argument on the back-burner, I’m setting out my position in full, and hopefully that will be the end of it.

Nationalist movements have repeatedly failed across Europe due to their associations with the far right. And by far right, I mean actual the far right whose ideology is essentially rooted in Nazism and antisemitic conspiracy theories. Start-up parties are always dragged into the muck by the cranks in the ranks. They can only succeed with ruthless internal discipline and vigilance.

Antisemitism, of course, is used as a stick with which to beat nationalist parties, not least because they speak out against ethnic replacement. They will be attacked on that basis whether they’re antisemitic or not, just as notable remainers called me an antisemite during Brexit for writing about George Soros’s funding of pro-EU campaigns and ersatz civil society organisations. I wish I’d been litigious at the time because I’d have easily made a few grand off that.

On the matter of immigration, open borders fanatics are all too happy to level the accusation of antisemitism because nationalists are vulnerable to it. That we are gradually being replaced is a statistical reality, but such narratives often attract those who believe the conspiracy theory that what is happening now is part of a Jewish plot to undermine the white European race through mass immigration, promoting miscegenation to weaken and ultimately control European societies. This narrative is rooted in longstanding antisemitic tropes about Jewish control and manipulation of world events. This particular theory has actual Nazi origins.

As such, I think it wise for any party to root out antisemites because you are more than likely dealing with morons who’ll be a liability for any number of reasons. Understanding mass migration requires more sophisticated thinking. The notion that the mass immigration experienced by Europe is orchestrated by “the Jews” rather overestimates their capabilities.

We’ve seen several waves of migration over the last twenty years. Syrian migration is largely an indirect consequence of our calamitous decision to invade Iraq, while we have also seen thousands of Eritreans attempting to avoid conscription. We’ve seen migration from West Africa, not least because illegal EU and Chinese fishing boats have destroyed fish breeding grounds, thereby collapsing local fisheries upon which coastal settlements depend. Some of it is also driven by asymmetric trade deals and surplus dumping, collapsing African industries such as textiles, garments and poultry. Jews would have to be superhuman to be orchestrating all of that.

There is then economic migration from pretty much everywhere, exploiting the loopholes in the archaic Refugee Convention. This is often aided by NGOs and but it should also be noticed that it is also a lucrative sector for the legal profession. Human rights lawyers are not rich for nothing.

As has been explored previously, we are living under a legal system, devised to deal with internal European displacement, which never anticipated the situation we now find ourselves in. Were the system functioning, the Refugee Convention would only recognise claims from the same continent. It is long overdue for reform and even the EU is beginning to recognise this.

As to NGOs, it is often remarked that many of them who facilitate migration are funded by George Soros, which again brings us back to moronic antisemitic conspiracy theories. Soros is a dinosaur from the previous moral universe, scarred by his experience of WWII. He is very much a man of his time, and part of the collapsing liberal order. It’s collapsing precisely because it has not adapted to the new reality of global mass migration.

Many have attempted to persuade me that there is a Jewish conspiracy facilitating mass migration, having constructed elaborate spider-web of NGOs with CEOs of Jewish heritage. This overlooks that there are there are hundreds of refugee-led organizations (RLOs) in the European Union (EU), many of them funded either by the EU itself, the UN, or member state governments.

My view is that even if you could conclusively prove these theories were true, you’d still have to be a complete retard to bang on about it. We must instead focus on policy. On that basis, a British version of DOGE recommends itself, with a first priority of defunding NGOs. If an NGO is state funded, it is not an NGO. If they can’t survive without state funding, so be it.

This is something any government should be doing as a matter of course, along with measures to prevent foreign funding of political lobby groups. This is necessary of itself just to deal with demonstrable Islamist manoeuvrings and Indian business lobbying.

This is why I’ve been happy to contribute to the Homeland Party’s policy efforts. The chairman, Kenny Smith, is adamant that the party does not want cranks. There are other political entities who would gladly have them, and they’re welcome to them. The types who believe there is a shadowy Jewish conspiracy pulling the strings are pathological losers. Any nationalist party that appeases them is doomed to failure.

That is not to say that rooting out cranks will immunise any nationalist party from the usual accusations of fascism. It goes with the territory, especially for Homeland since it is willing to talk about demographic trends when others such as Reform and the SDP shrink from the debate. The left will do all it can to prevent that debate, and Reform et al will side with them largely for electoral advantage. The Overton Window is shifting right all the time, and they do not want competition. Cranks will give them the fodder they need though.

There is, of course, no bulletproof way to screen out cranks and morons, nor can a party police what its members say, but it should at least be clear when it comes to outright racial prejudice. Nationalism of itself is not racist. We simply put our own people first. We also deal in certain uncomfortable facts; Generally speaking, third worlders are unlikely to add value or benefit our culture or the economy. As such, I don’t really care if immigration policy is racially biased. Not all cultures are equal and culture is largely a product of race.

All the same, we can still deplore racism against the individual. There is no call for it. Our beef is with the establishment that imposed disastrous multiculturalist policies on us without our consent.

Thankfully, cries of “antisemitism” and “racism” are wearing thin with the general public who are starting to see through the tactics of extremist organisations such as Hope Not Hate. It doesn’t work anymore. All the same, we should call out antisemitism when we see it because it does strengthen our hand and deters morons from joining.

For those who are wondering why I’m writing this piece, I’m hoping to answer some of the queries I’ve had from prospective members about Homeland. There is always a nervousness about joining a controversial party, and while party members have an obligation to safeguard the reputation of the party, parties have a likewise obligation to their members.

Kenny Smith has been unequivocal that Homeland will not entertain cranks, and I take that to mean the kind of anon X accounts pushing memes depicting Jews as ogres and demons, and banging on about the Kalergi plan. As he notes, many of these accounts are burner accounts purporting to represent Homeland, but are in fact wreckers and people attempting to subvert the party.

Members will, however, have to tolerate a diversity of views. This is especially true of the Israel/Palestine conflict (as indeed it is in virtually any other party). My views are my own and I’m not shy about expressing them. When you go on a rape-murder spree, deliberately targeting women for sadistic sexual gratification, you're not resistance fighters, nobody owes you a state, nobody has to listen to you, and the victor decides what happens to your territory. That is their right. FAFO. Such an utter betrayal of humanity is beyond contempt. I will never be neutral on that.

In a reply to anxious party members, Kenny Smith replied on X, “We don't restrict free speech in our Party. His views do not align with mine or the Party on this matter”.

The party is very much neutral on the conflict and it takes the view that it simply isn’t our problem. I’m not so sure about that in that wider regional escalation is in nobody’s interests, and whether we take a side or not, the fallout from the conflict will continue to spill out on to our streets. That very much does concern us. It’s a regular reminder of two-tier policing. I risk a police inquiry with virtually every other tweet while the far left/Islamist alliance can openly call to "globalise the intifada" (which roughly translates to murder Jews wherever you find them).

We see a lot of this, and all too often there is a large contingent of Pakistanis who claim to be anti-Zionist, but what you're seeing is in fact naked antisemitism. It is part of Pakistan’s religious curriculum and it is endemic to Pakistani culture. In May 2021 we saw a convoy of cars with Palestinian flags driving through areas of London while honking their horns and screaming “F*** their mothers, rape their daughters”. Hamas actually went and did that. It’s the exact same ideology and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Palestinian statehood aspirations. You can see why the Jews are so adamant about having a homeland of their own.

Some would rather I didn’t talk about this at all given how divisive it is, but of course, you all know that nobody gets to tell me what I write about. I believe in total transparency. That way I can always show my working. My point is that if you have a functioning radar for antisemitism then you also have a good retard detector - which helps to insulate against liabilities.

That, though, does not mean you have to be rabidly pro-Israel either. There is ample scope to criticise illegal West bank settlements and the lawlessness of the settlers who even attack the IDF. Judaism isn’t exempt from criticism either. Orthodox practices are draconian and every bit as steeped in misogyny as any other religion. Not forgetting the medically unnecessary genital mutilation.

As such, British politics should be every bit as guarded about encoded definitions of antisemitism as the APPG definition of Islamophobia. Britain should not have blasphemy laws of any kind and no faith should be exempt from debate. That said, the two are not equivalent. Antisemitism is usually based on conspiracy theories and easily disproved blood libels, whereas things said about Muslims and Islam have an awkward tendency to be true.

This will be a major battle in the years to come as Muslims begin to flex their bloc voting powers. There are already moves to essentially outlaw any suggestion that grooming gangs are in any way linked to Islam. Whether they are or aren’t, the debate must never be off limits. Where you find antisemitism, though, it’s usually an indicator of something more sinister, be it Nazis, Islamists or far-leftists. Usually Islamism.

This is again where policy comes in. If Reform or the Tories talk about immigration, they will talk the need to deal with extremist mosques and the need to promote integration. Personally, I’m not sure that there are mosques that aren’t extreme. I view Islam is a religion of conquest, and most of what is preached in British mosques is dangerous to our way of life. The same is true of the “moderate” and “integrated” Muslims who still back blasphemy laws. There is no integrating it. It is alien. As such, remigration must be our first priority.

This, ultimately, is why I back the Homeland Party. They are up front about that. We can no longer afford the civic nationalist “integration” delusion. There are real and intolerable threats and we are running out of time to address them. The time has come for a sensible nationalist party that can discuss the issues with maturity and accuracy. I will fight my corner for Homeland to be exactly that.
