White nationalists to Scott Adams: Join us!

In the wake of a racist tirade from Dilbert creator Scott Adams, the white nationalists at Counter-Currents are urging the cartoonist and right-wing bloviator to go all the way and embrace white identity politics.

In a livestream last week, Adams declared black Americans a hate group and advised whites to “get the fuck away” from blacks by moving to all-white neighborhoods– “just get as much distance as you can.” He suggested that white people stop trying to help black people entirely and complained that

every damn day, I look on social media, and there’s some black person beating the shit out of some white person. I’m kind of over it. I’m over it, alright? So I quit.

The tirade has gotten Adams canceled, big time, with hundreds of papers dropping his no longer funny strip. He’s also lost a book deal. Naturally, he’s responded not by apologizing but by whining. He’s feeling very victimized by the whole thing.

But in the process, he’s made himself some new friends on the far right, who are urging him to lean in on the whole racism thing and become an official white nationalist. In the virtual pages of the white nationalist Counter-Currents site, Spencer J. Quinn has penned an open letter to Adams, thanking him for his video and urging him to embrace his white identity.

Quinn tells Adams that the views put forth in his video are “perfectly congruent with White Nationalism” and that he agrees with all of them, from the assertion that black Americans are a hate group to Adams’ complaint about videos featuring black people beating up on whites. “So, I agree with you,” writes Quinn.

There is no fixing this problem — at least not according to how our current society is organized. As you say, the best advice for white people is to escape blacks.

Well, guess what? That is exactly the platform of White Nationalism! If you read Counter-Currents at all, you will realize that White Nationalists want escape as much as you do. They want it so bad they push for outright secession from our modern liberal democracies, which actively encourage racial diversity and tacitly support the anti-whiteism that you so heartily deplore. Why not try to get away from these people?

Quinn complains that

the black power structure in America seeks to do two things above all: consolidate black territory in cities through an indulgent attitude towards crime, poverty, and corruption (which serves to keep non-blacks out), as well as invade white spaces … forc[ing] once-implicitly white organizations as diverse as the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing , National Aeronautics and Space Administration, [and the] Society for Creative Anachronism … to bend the knee to black inclusion ….

Forsooth, they’re taking over the Society for Creative Anachronism! Where, my lords and ladies, will it end?

But Quinn has criticisms as well, suggesting that Adams’ explicit rejection of “white supremacy” means he’s “not being serious” because, as a rich cartoonist, he isn’t in the trenches in the race war like less-well-off whites. “Please remember,” Quinn urges,

that most whites don’t have such privilege. When blacks … invade their spaces, either at work or in their neighborhoods, there are only so many places to which these whites can escape. And the aim of the American black power structure is to one day prevent escape for them entirely. Blacks want access to whites, plain and simple.

And then he returns to the alleged scourge of anti-white violence.

Also, don’t you think that membership in some “white supremacist” (read: pro-white) group would have actually come in handy for the victims in those “beat up whitey” videos you complain about? Wouldn’t you at least lend your support to a group designed to prevent this sort of violence to begin with? You cannot possibly believe it is just desserts that these white victims have no one to whom they can turn.

Quinn concludes, trying to guilt-trip Adams into becoming a full-on white supremacist–sorry, white nationalist.

Since White Nationalism takes the needs and desires of these forsaken whites into account, it is a highly moral position to hold. You advise white people to stay away from blacks, and that’s great. But White Nationalists are the only people working on ways to actually make that a reality for all whites, especially the ones who lack the means to follow your advice. This is the difference between someone who dabbles in racial identity and people who truly take it seriously.

Quinn makes it clear that all Adams needs to do is to embrace the words “white nationalism,” at which point he will become instantly “serious” and have a whole new set of friends for life.
