Comments on: Weaponize the Expats: The Global Phyle as Geopolitical Strategy http://www.socialmatter.net/2015/05/22/weaponize-the-expats-the-global-phyle-as-geopolitical-strategy/ Not Your Grandfather's Conservatism Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:20:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.7 By: Hadley Bennett http://www.socialmatter.net/2015/05/22/weaponize-the-expats-the-global-phyle-as-geopolitical-strategy/#comment-13614 Wed, 27 May 2015 17:01:00 +0000 http://www.socialmatter.net/?p=2181#comment-13614 Remember that memetic sovereignty, i.e. the ability to fend off Cathedral consensus and formulate an independent frame, is a necessary pre-condition to fighting off the Cathedral and forming a vision of life apart from the Cathedral. If you’re still subservient to the Cathedral’s memeplex, you’ll never be able to muster up any kind of resistance. This is why conservatism often devolves to little more than “We’re the real liberals!” or “We’re not racist!”

Additionally, high-status ideas push out low-status ideas, so until subversive ideas become high-status, they have very little chance of recruiting Great Men to change history.

If an individual get’s expelled from a group which openly (even if ostensibly) desires the restoration of none other than Rhodesia, for transgressing against liberal platitudes, what hope is there… If there are expats who could be valuable to a counter-cultural revival within the Anglosphere, one would think they’d be among the Rhodesian/RSA diaspora. Evidently, one would be wrong, and that is tremendously depressing.

Was the mistake in the person who was reminding people of Mandela’s past, or those in the Restore Rhodesia group who expelled him?

The memes identified the sainted father of the Rainbow Nation as an early ANC terrorist. To the the good people who want to “restore Rhodesia”, this is apparently as a summary offense.

I wonder though, how much of the internal decline of the West was accelerated by expatriate cosmopolitan types forced to come home, trying to recreate the Outside, inside? Bill Haydon in Tinker, Tailor.
