The last time we checked in on alt-right gun enthusiast Christopher Cantwell, the infamous “crying Nazi” arrested on weapons charges after the debacle in Charlottesville last summer, he was battling online with fellow alt-rightists angry that he had agreed to become an informant for the FBI — which he claimed was part of an ingenious master plan to give the FBI dirt on antifascist activists.
Still, the attacks directed at him by fellow racists don’t seem to have diminished his own enthusiasm for an alt-right white ethnostate. Cantwell, out on bond, is still spewing out racist nonsense on his internet radio show. But it’s what Cantwell, a former contributor to antifeminist hate site A Voice for Men, is saying about women that is truly astonishing.
Let’s start with the racism. In a rambling diatribe posted on his site earlier this month, Cantwell rails against the US intervening further in Syria, warning Trump that
No matter how many wars you wage for the Jews, no matter how many sons and daughters you give them, they will always oppose your efforts to Make America Great Again, because subversion runs through their veins.Ā
Waxing apocalyptic, he warns of the race war to end all race wars.
We are on the brink of planetary racialĀ cataclysm the likes of which the world has never seen, and from which we may never recover. The white race has been overrun in Europe and the United States. If we were to defeat Russia militarily, what sizable homeland would whites have remaining? …
White power has become a dirty phrase in the modern political lexicon, and that is exceedingly unfortunate, because it is precisely that power which has made civilization possible. We may well be nearing the point at which that power fades from history, and the savagery we have sacrificed so much to stave off eclipses the whole of the Earth.
No racist dogwhistles for Cantwell; he just straight up blares an airhorn while doing a Nazi salute.
Speaking of which:
Adolf Hitler was not some madman bent on mass murder for his own entertainment. He recognized a growing danger to the whole of humanity, and he resolved that he would stop at nothing to protect us from that threat.Ā
However hair-raising Cantwell’s remarks on Hitler are, he isn’t particularly original in his racism. It’s when he starts talking about women that things begin to get really, er, interesting.
In the comments to the post I’ve been quoting, Cantwell found himself in an argument with Radio Aryan head boy “Sven Longshanks” on the best way to make sure there are enough women to go around in their future white ethnostate. Cantwell, well aware that the current alt-right movement is just a tad male-heavy, suggests that maybe, just maybe, they should think about allowing some non-white ladies in to their imaginary white utopia, for breeding purposes.
Imagine we manage to pull off our political migration and secede Maine and New Hampshire for white nationalists. We shockingly enough find ourselves in a situation that resembles our conferences, in that the vast majority of participants are male, creating a dangerous gender disparity which threatens the stability of our nation.
HOW WILL WE MAKE THE WHITE BABIES WITHOUT THE WHITE LADIES BECAUSE EVEN THE RACIST WHITE LADIES HATE US?
Cantwell has a somewhat out-of-the-box solution:
We update our immigration policy to permit women, but not men, of less than perfect genetic integrity into the country. You wouldn’t want to flood the place with negresses …
JFC, dude.
… but say you let half asian or half latina women come into the country, creating a gender disparity in the opposite direction, and legalize polygyny.Ā
And then it’s time to make the babies!
Most of Cantwell’s colleagues on the racist right would see this as “white genocide,” given that the children of mixed-race couples are, by definition, also mixed-race. But Cantwell sees this sort of “race-mixing” as the solution to “white genocide.”
Cantwell even considers setting aside his anti-abortion beliefs so the future inhabitants of his imaginary ethnostate will be able to protect themselves from the specter of not-quite-white-enough men.
We further institute a sex selective abortion policy, so that the only male children allowed to be born are of sufficiently pure lineage.
To say that this would not produce people as white as me inside of a few generations is just plain untrue. We are absolutely capable of breeding out undesirable traits through intelligent eugenic practices, but we need to think about it instead of, dare I say it, purity spiraling.
Er, isn’t a white ethnostate pretty much the ultimate incarnation of “purity spiralling?”
I do not take any of this lightly, and I do not think it ideal, but you might recall that I opened up the show concerned that yet another Jew provoked war between white countries threatened our very existence. I genuinely fear that we are on the brink of extinction, and intelligently depriving non-white males of breeding opportunities, while maximizing our own reproductive success, is a dirty tactic of race war which our enemies have made spectacular use of.
To Cantwell, evidently, women are little more than ambulatory “breeding opportunities.” He seems to have mistaken The Handmaid’s Tale for a how-to manual.
This sort of emotional dedication to immediate racial purity, in my opinion, threatens the survival of our race by putting principles ahead of practical necessity. Women are territory, and non-whites are conquering us by conquering our women.
I’ll just repeat that last bit, because woah:
Women are territory, and non-whites are conquering us by conquering our women.
If we refuse to retaliate in kind, we are making the same error that libertarians and constitutionalists make when trying to deal with the Left. We are refusing to wield the most powerful weapon of the conflict, our own dicks, and we thereby forfeit the fight.
Yes, that’s right. He really did just say “the most powerful weapon of the conflict, our own dicks.”
Is Cantwell serious about all of this? Probably not when it comes to the “sex selective abortion policy.” But he seems to believe the rest of his nonsense. I have no doubt that he sees women as little more than “breeding opportunities” and considers his dick to be “the most powerful weapon of the conflict.” Because of course. For guys like this, it always comes back to their dicks.
However horrifying all this is, I have detected a small flaw in Cantwell’s plan.
If the alt-right is so grotesquely misogynistic that it can’t even convince racist white women to come to its conferences and demonstrations, how on earth would they manage to convince mixed-race women to come to the Nazi Republic of Maine as “breeding opportunities” for men who think that women like them are basically impure “mongrels?” I can’t imagine many mixed-race women, no matter how desperate, would jump at the opportunity to become some sort of brood mare sister wife living in a cabin in the Maine woods with some random dude who likes dressing up as Hitler.
These proud knights of the master race aren’t always so good at thinking things through, are they?
H/T — Thanks to the reader, who wishes to remain anonymous, who pointed me to Cantwell’s comments
solecism:
Rey would beat him.
What are the odds that Cantrell’s scheme was inspired by happening across some mixed race porn and feeling the need to retrofit his political fantasies to fit his peen?
I’d love for some of the Nazis to try to live in Russia. Wonderful country in many ways, but merciless towards the stupid and entitled.
@Moggie
Totally! Because she kicks ass, and he’s in need of a good ass-kicking. Like peas and carrots, really. Or maybe laser and stick of butter.
Certainly, describing dick as a weapon shows his fundamental rapist mindset. I’d be totally okay with “white genocide” wiping that bullshit off the planet.
He’s convinced that white people are on the brink of extinction.
The brink.
And race isn’t even a real genetic distinction. He is wrong all the way from nanoscale to macroscale and everywhere inbetween.
Such a weird way of thinking about āracial purity,ā though. Racists are generally concerned about āwhite genocideā because they ascribe to the one drop rule, believing that once you have mixed race children, all their descendants will necessarily be nonwhite. This guy correctly surmises that if you have a majority of white people (with minorities, in this case, also being at least half white), you will eventually end up with descendants who mostly at least pass for white. Yet he doesnāt seem to extrapolate that this would kind of happen in majority white countries, anyway, if everyone just naturally intermingled from the get-go. Not to mention even two partly white people can produce a child who looks white. Of course, the really wild part is that he thinks thereās some special reason to ensure all the boys born are pure white while any mixed children must only be girls. How does that even work out? After a few generations pretty much every woman would be mixed race; therefore, any future men would necessarily be mixed race. Maybe the assumption is that white sperm is somehow more magical than white eggs?
@misophistry:
Or as a certain someone would say to him: “Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.”
misophistry:
I think this sense of urgency serves two purposes:
Firstly, obviously, it’s hard to rally followers to your cause if your message is that something needs to be done sometime this century, rather than right now.
Secondly, it’s ridiculous. Yes, this is a feature, not a bug. Any sensible person will say “white extinction isn’t happening anytime soon, and I don’t see what’s so great about racial purity anyway”. But he’s not trying to attract critical thinkers. In fact, people like that are poison to the movement! The Nazis need a large following of dumb people who will think and do what they are told, so luring them with obvious bullshit acts as a filter to exclude the less gullible elements who would cause trouble for the movement in future.
@ moggie
That’s interesting because there’s a suggestion that scam emails are written in that typically weird format exactly to weed out people who would ultimately suss they’re a con. So it’s the same tactic it seems.
Maybe he’s read about certain dog breeding programs? I don’t think it’s a common thing in the US, since the American Kennel Club seems more hung up on breed purity than, say, the Swedish Kennel Club (even though I think the Swedish one is too hung up on it as it is). But here, at least, there’s been various controlled cross-breeding programs in order to save breeds with a small gene pool. The clumber spaniel had that problem, for instance, so the Kennel Club approved of a program where cocker spaniels were mixed with clumber spaniels, the offspring bred to more clumber spaniels, etc, and after four generations the offspring would count as purebred clumber. They certainly look indistinguishable from regular clumbers after four generations of picking the most clumber-like crosses to breed on. I’ve also seen individual people argue that the American Kennel Club should do the same thing to breeds suffering from low genetic diversity, even though the club as a whole is against it.
Now I want to go and hump a black guy!
I won’t, because I’m monogamous married, but the urge is there. And skin colour was never a high priority anyway.
Also I try not to let people (especially Nazis) control me like that.Doing the opposite of what they want isn’t making my own decisions, is it? It’s rather like taking an old fashioned computer punch card and turning it upside down instead of ripping it up.
But did it make other people want to go find a black lover?
A real Lebensburn.
If we were to actually apply breeding practices to human beings, he and those like him would be neutered.
*lol* So true
Every now and then I feel guilty about owning a gun. Then I read articles about men like this and I feel better.
Thanks, David!
I initially misread “legalize polygyny” as “legalize polyandry”, because that’d obviously make a lot more sense (mea culpa!) in this context. Most people aren’t even familiar with polyandry as a concept and a term, but Cantwell might be, since he used the term polygyny, rather than generic polygamy (which is usually understood to mean polygyny).
His ilk probably has this general impression that everyone in the world wants to immigrate to rich white societies, so they could afford to pick and choose immigrants. White women already live in such societies, so they wouldn’t bother to move to Nazistan, but supposedly plenty of off-white women in poor Latin American and Asian countries would take the chance.
Now, he apparently also has this fantasy of limiting the number of male vs. female births, ostensibly for the purpose of improving the race. This does look like some sort of sexual harem fantasy, disguised as a racial utopia.
Maybe don’t base your entire movement on worshipping your own dicks?
Speaking of Nazis-
http://time.com/5249811/neo-nazis-burn-swastika-georgia/
A bunch of dumbass Naxis giving the salute in front of a buning swastika. Fuck Nazis.
And a bunch of antifa protestors were arrested because of a 1950s law aimed at the kkk. This is why we have to ne careful with laws, and remember that they can be always be used against us.
Sometimes I suspect that they all are.
@ dawnpurityseeker
In 1965 England introduced the Race Relations Act. That was the first piece of legislation specifically to address racial discrimination. One of the first people to be prosecuted under it was a chap called Michael X. I’ll let you guess what colour he may have been.
Hmmm… I think I know how the Bene Tleilaxu started. I’d say it was with Cantwell, but I think the Tleilaxu were… savvier than this dolt.
Either way, apparently he’s all for the Axlotl tank method of procreation (slightly terrifying artist rendering to follow):
@katamount
Um, just out of interest, does this place have an image content policy? I can see that one being problematic in various places.
Anyway, I can’t quite remember which bit of the Dune series it was mentioned in (probably heretics, or chapter house), but I seem to recall that the ‘tanks’ were described as ‘immobile in their vastness’. Still, everyone likes strange-fetishy pictures of skinny ladies, eh?
HR Giger certainly liked this theme. Have a search for stuff like ‘biomechanical mia’ or ‘stillbirth machine’ or… actually, pretty much any and all of his work. (content note: given the subject and the artist, this will largely be NSFW and possibly nightmare fuel)
It is highly telling that a lot of racist women don’t want anything to do with Cantwell and his crew.
It somewhat confirms my theory that most if not all prominent alt-right women are just doing it for attention. Heck, Tara McCarthy (a part-Indian women ffs) used to be a vegan socialist.
@Surplus
I was gonna make that exact same joke, but then I scoured the already posted comments just in case.
You win, for now.
@Eldridge the Cleaver
I’m always a bit leery of that argument because it’s one that manospherians use all the time against women they don’t like. I suppose the question is, if it’s true, why do the alt-right women choose this particular way of getting attention? Are there really no other outlets? Is it just easier to get attention from these types, or what? Is there really no way of getting noticed that doesn’t involve being hateful?
In other words, I can see the argument that they’re being vocal out of a desire for attention, but I find it harder to believe that they don’t actually mean the shit they peddle.
@Rabid Rabbit
I find it very hard to believe Tara McCarthy, who used to be a vegan anti-natalist socialist, would suddenly do a complete about-face.
Lauren Southern used to be a flunkie polisci major. Her classmates described her as stupid and, on a reddit post, one redditor who claimed to be in contact with one of them, said she did her whole “THERE IS NO RAPE CULTURE IN THE WEST” stunt purely for attention.
Ayla Stewart of Wife With A Purpose fame claimed she once was a liberal pagan. Bre Faucheux, the white nationalist writer, claimed she used to be liberal as well.
Too many coincidences for my taste.
