Motus Mentis

It’s been a fortnight now since Anders Behring Breivik’s havoc in Oslo. Cultural-conservative bloggers, aghast, have mostly tried to do three things in their subsequent commentrary:

First and foremost, to condemn Breivik’s mass slaughter as irredeemably evil;

Second, to dissociate themselves from any responsibility for it;

Third, to attempt, within the context of the strongest possible disapproval, to demonstrate that Breivik’s actions, however despicable, can nevertheless be understood as a consequence of the ethnically masochistic and self-abnegating immigration policies of European liberal elites.

This latter is a tricky business, and those commenting from the Right have had to wriggle a bit to avoid giving the impression that Breivik’s young victims in some sense “had it coming”.

The really awkward part for the anti-mulitculti, defense-of-the-West commentariat has been that Breivik’s view of the problem is roughly congruent with our own.

In last week’s Radio Derb podcast, John Derbyshire said:

Norway is a proudly distinctive nation, with its own language, culture, and traditions going back continuously into the early Middle Ages. In a nation like that ”” old, proud, and set in its ways ”” a big influx of completely different people really notices, in a way it wouldn’t to a nation with a cosmopolitan or imperial tradition. A generation ago a Norwegian could live out his entire life, even in a major city, without ever meeting a Muslim. Today the country is three percent Muslim on official figures, though if you count up the Pakistanis, Arabs, Turks, and Somalis in the demographic tables, it seems to me that five or six percent may be closer to the truth.

Why did Norway open itself to such an influx of utterly different peoples? Well, because among the educated classes of the country, wellnigh everyone subscribes to the ethnic masochism that leftist white elites everywhere are in thrall to.

If you want to see the canonical expression of this peculiar racial self-hatred, I refer you to Tom Hayden’s speech at his son’s wedding. Hayden, you’ll recall, is the American leftist activist who was married to Jane Fonda for seventeen years. Tom and Jane had a son, Troy. In 2007 Troy married a lady named Simone Bent, who is black. At the wedding, Tom Hayden, as father of the groom, made a speech welcoming the union because it was, quote, “another step in a long-term goal of mine: the peaceful, nonviolent disappearance of the white race,” end quote.

Pretty much all Scandinavian elites think like that.

So multiculturalism in Norway is causing the same kinds of stresses and strains it causes everywhere else, though the smallness of Norway’s population and the traditionalist conservatism of large numbers of Norwegians outside the elite classes make things worse. Among Norway’s five million people there are hundreds of thousands who are seriously riled up about the cultural and demographic revolution being imposed on them by their ethno-masochistic elites, personified politically by the ruling Labor Party.

…

The upshot of the manifesto is that Breivik thinks European civilization is under threat of being swamped by Muslims and other incompatibles. A great many people think that, including me and a lot of my friends and colleagues. Breivik further believes that Europe’s ethno-masochist leftists, nursing as they do views like Tom Hayden’s, are actively working to make this happen. I agree with that, too. So far as what’s happening is concerned, and who’s making it happen, I’m on the same page as Anders Breivik, and so are a great many Western conservatives.

In other words: with regard to identifying the problem and its cause, Breivik’s assessment is more or less in line with a broad consensus on the culturally conservative Right.

That’s very definitely as far as it goes, though. Derb continues, and I daresay he speaks for all of us:

Breivik also thinks, however, that matters have gone so far that the only hope of stopping the trend is to start murdering those responsible for it, and members of their families, including their children. I don’t think that, and neither of course does Mark Steyn, Robert Spencer, or anyone else I know in the anti-multiculturalist corner of the right… It is not for individual private citizens to declare war. That way madness and chaos lie. A citizen who privately declares war, is a criminal. Anders Breivik, irrespective of his opinions, is a criminal.

More than just a “criminal”, I’d say: Anders Breivik is a demon, an abomination. To have slaughtered those boys and girls in cold blood even as they begged for their lives was an act of hideous, unforgivable evil, from which the imagination of any human being must recoil with a shudder of revulsion.

But even though those of us “in the anti-multiculturalist corner of the Right” stand in unanimous condemnation of Breivik’s awful spree, can we fairly be charged with some measure of responsibility for it? We have, after all, been writing heatedly for years now about the campaign of ethnic and cultural usurpation being waged against Western Europeans by their own political and academic elites. Anti-multiculturalist bloggers can have no illusions about persuading those ruling classes to abandon their aims; they write, rather, with the goal of awakening and uniting popular resistance. As G.C. Lichtenberg wrote long ago:

“That one can convince one’s opponents with printed reasons, I have not believed since the year 1764. It is not for that purpose that I have taken up my pen, but rather merely to annoy them, and to give strength and courage to those on our side, and to make it known to the others that they have not convinced us.’

In fairness I think right-wing writers must acknowledge that, however dismayed they are by Breivik’s actions, their writings did indeed give him “strength and courage”. But is that responsibility? Culpability? Mencius Moldbug cites Aesop’s tale of the military trumpeter:

THE TRUMPETER TAKEN PRISONER.

A Trumpeter, being taken prisoner in battle, begged hard for quarter, declaring his innocence, and protesting that he neither had killed nor could kill any man, bearing no arms but his trumpet, which he was obliged to sound at the word of command.

For that reason, replied his enemies, we are determined not to spare you; for though you yourself never fight, yet with that wicked instrument of yours, you blow up animosity among other people, and so become the cause of much bloodshed.

APPLICATION.

The fomenter of mischief is at least as culpable as he who puts it in execution. A man may be guilty of murder who never has handled a sword or pulled a trigger or lifted up his arm with any mischievous weapon. There is a little incendiary called the tongue, which is more venomous than a poisoned arrow, and more killing than a two-edged sword.

The moral of the Fable therefore is this, that if in any civil insurrection the persons taken in arms against the government, deserve to die, much more do they whose devilish tongues or pens gave birth to the sedition and excited the tumult.

The Fable is also equally applicable to those evil counsellors, who excite corrupt or wicked governments to sap and undermine, and then to overturn the just laws and liberties of a whole people…

Moldbug adds:

Aesop, you see, is above the whole thing. Aesop has no problem with putting the hammer to either seditious rabble-rousers or tyrannical commissars. He accepts it as normal. It is normal. It is war, and only the dead have seen the end of war. The trumpeter, on either side, is a soldier.

This mental habit of separating “democratic dissent” and “violent terrorism,” which the Robert Spencers of the world vainly attempt to invoke, and the Noam Chomskys successfully invoke, is one of the most curious psychological tics of the deranged 20th century. Of course its raison d’etre, as a psychological-warfare device, is to forestall the realization that leftist movements achieve power through violence, then demand pacifism of the subjugated.

All power is rooted in violence – even electoral power (to the extent that any such thing still exists). There is most definitely a continuum between democratic activism and civil war. The struggle for power is one. The whole point of the classic picket sign is that the writing on the cardboard sends one message; the two-by-four it’s stapled to sends another.

And we can tell that left rules right, because we can see that Noam Chomsky has the right to trumpet his ideas to Osama bin Laden, whereas Robert Spencer does not have the right to trumpet his ideas to Anders Behring Breivik. Did he think he had that right? He had not the might, so he had not the right. He’s finding that out right now, as he stares down the barrel of a very angry New York Times.

Well, yes and no. Certainly there is “a continuum between democratic activism and civil war.” And there is no question whatsoever that Noam Chomsky and the New York Times trumpet unimpeded, while those trumpeting a different sort of tune can reap very unpleasant consequences — as Mark Steyn, Geert Wilders, Lars Hedegaard, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, Theo van Gogh, and many others have learned.

But is Aesop’s (and Moldbug’s) moral conclusion valid? Aesop’s trumpeter was a military man, part of a fighting unit whose explicit function is armed conflict. Yes, there is a continuum between democratic activism and civil war, but it is one thing to say that two things lie on a continuum, and another to suggest that they are therefore equivalent — even if, as Moldbug says, “The struggle for power is one.” And yes, struggle for power has many forms — chess between two grandmasters is no less a struggle for personal domination than is a fight between two roughnecks in a bar. But they are not the same thing.

The writers Breivik quoted at length in his manifesto no doubt sharpened and focused his thinking about the intentional dismantling of native European cultures and communities, and it must surely have encouraged him to find intelligent and influential people who saw clearly how serious the problem is, and who wrote passionately about the need to resist.

But beyond that, Breivik was on his own. Pace Moldbug and Aesop, the writers that Breivik had been reading certainly did not consider themselves to be the goads of an armed militia; indeed, most if not all of them have taken up their activism precisely in order to avoid the violence that they fear will be the inevitable result if indigenous European peoples and cultures are pushed too deeply into a genuine existential crisis. And there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the problem itself is real enough; even the ruling parties responsible for it acknowledge its existence, though merely as a “challenge” to be overcome.

Breivik described his experiences of what Oslo had become in his 1,500-page manifesto. Moldbug offered some substantial excerpts:

In case anyone has any doubt about Breivik’s sanity, I thought I’d cut and paste the most interesting parts of his manifesto, which are naturally the parts everyone is ignoring. Not the endless Fjordman essays, but his own personal story. Page 1393:

Q: Violent Muslim gangs in European cities are not exactly a new phenomenon. We hear about indigenous European youths getting harassed, beaten, raped and robbed quite often. Tell us about your experiences during your “vulnerable years” (14-18) growing up in the urban multicultural streets of Oslo.

A: Since I was 12 years old I was into the hip-hop movement. For several years I was one of the most notable “hip-hop”˜ers” from Oslo”˜s West side. It was a lot easier to “gain respect and credibility” in Oslo West because of the demographic factors. Oslo West was the “privileged and predominantly native side” of Oslo with very few immigrants in contrast to the East side which was less peaceful. Graffiti and break dance was an important part of our life at that point. Around 1993 and 1994, at 15, I was the most active tagger (graffiti artist) in Oslo as several people in the old school hip-hop community can attest to.

Our standard “graffiti raid” consisted of going out at night, in groups of 2-3, with our backpacks full of spray cans. We took our bikes and “bombed” city blocks with our tags, “pieces” and crew name all over Oslo. “Morg, Wick and Spok” was everywhere. The fact that hundreds of kids our own age all over Oslo West and even Oslo East looked up to us was one of the driving forces I guess. At that time it felt very rewarding to us. If you wanted girls and respect then it was all about the hip hop community at that time. The more reckless you were the more respect and admiration you gained.

Everyone didn’t approve though. The government had a no-tolerance attitude towards graffiti and removed 90% of our “creations” within 48 hours. I remember it was an unofficial war between the hip-hop community and the government and Oslo Sporveier, our public subway company. Two guys I knew, Stian and Charles, a few years older than me were arrested, received gigantic fines and was put in jail.

The hip-hop movement In Norway had its climax around that time, in 92-93. The community was very “politically correct” in nature with close ties to the extreme left groups like SOS Rasisme (an extreme left wing movement) and Blitz (a violent left wing extremist movement). I remember we used to hang out with various people and groups all over Oslo. There were plenty of hip-hop concerts at Blitz and it was at this time that the communist hip-hop group; “Gatas Parlament” was created. It”˜s hard to imagine but during this time everyone was into graffiti and hip-hop.
[…]
We used to hang out with GSV crew, or B-Gjengen as they are popularly called today, a Muslim Pakistani gang, quite violent even back then. “Gang alliances” was a part of our everyday life at that point and assured that you avoided threats and harassment. Alliances with the right people guaranteed safe passage everywhere without the risk of being subdued and robbed (Jizya), beaten or harassed. We had close ties with B-Gjengen (B-Gang) and A-Gjengen (A-Gang), both Muslim Pakistani gangs through my best friend Arsalan who was also a Pakistani.

Even at that time, the Muslim gangs were very dominating in Oslo East and in inner city Oslo. They even arranged “raids” in Oslo West occasionally, subduing the native youths (kuffars) and collecting Jizya from them (in the form of cell phones, cash, sunglasses etc.). I remember they systematically harassed, robbed and beat ethnic Norwegian youngsters who were unfortunate enough to not have the right affiliations. Muslim youths called the ethnic Norwegians “poteter” (potatoes, a derogatory term used by Muslims to describe ethnic Norwegians). These people occasionally raped the so called “potato whores.”

[See this startling item. -MP]

In Oslo, as an ethnic Norwegian youth aged 14-18 you were restricted if you didn”˜t have affiliations to the Muslim gangs. Your travel was restricted to your own neighbourhoods in Oslo West and certain central points in the city. Unless you had Muslim contacts you could easily be subject to harassment, beatings and robbery. Our alliances with the Muslim gangs were strictly seen as a necessity for us, at least for me. We, however, due to our alliances had the freedom of movement. As a result of our alliances we were allowed to have a relaxing and secure position on the West side of Oslo among our age group. Think of it as being local “warlords” for certain “kuffar areas,” which were regulated by the only dominant force, Muslim gangs collaborating with anarcho-Marxist networks.

Many of these groups claim to be tolerant and anti-fascist, but yet, I have never met anyone as hypocritical, racist and fascist as the people whom I used to call friends and allies. The media glorifies them while they wreck havoc across the city, rob and plunder. Yet, any attempts their victims do to consolidate are harshly condemned by all aspects of the cultural establishment as racism and Nazism. I have witnessed the double standards and hypocrisy with my own eyes, it is hard to ignore. I was one of the protected “potatoes,” having friends and allies in the Jihadi-racist gangs such as the A and B gang and many other Muslim gangs.

I gradually became appalled by the mentality, actions and hypocrisy of what he calls the “Marxist-Jihadi youth” movement of Oslo disguised under more socially acceptable brands such as: “SOS Rasisme”, “Youth against Racism”, Blitz who literally hijacked segments of the hiphop movement and used it as a front for recruitment.

I have personally heard of and witnessed hundreds of Jihadi-racist attacks, more than 90% of them aimed at helpless Norwegian youth (who themselves are brought up to be “suicidally” tolerant and therefore are completely unprepared mentally for attacks such as these). This happens while the Marxist networks in the hiphop movement and the cultural establishment silently and indirectly condone it. There is absolutely no political will to ensure that justice is served on behalf of these victims. I remember at one point thinking: “This system makes me sick”.

Q: Did you ever contribute to the Muslim atrocities against the indigenous during this period?

A: I saw the “security alliances” in a strictly pragmatical way. They were a necessary evil at that time. During these years I heard of hundreds of cases where ethnic Norwegians were harassed, robbed and beaten by Muslim gangs. This type of behaviour was in fact acts of racism or even based on religious motives (Jihadi behaviour), although I failed to see that connection then due to lack of knowledge about Islam; I saw the practical manifestations and I didn”˜t like it at all. The only thing you could do was to take the necessary precautions, create alliances or be subdued by them.

If you made any attempt to create a “Norwegian gang” you would be instantly labelled as a Nazi and face the wrath of everyone, in addition to the Muslim gangs. They, however, were allowed to do anything while being indirectly cheered by society. So in other words, we were trapped between the “wood and the bark”. This is still the case in all Western European major cities. They are allowed to consolidate, while we are not.
[…]
The lefties/hip-hop movement, including the Pakistani gangs and other minority gangs ”“ in cooperation with SOS Rasisme and Blitz were notorically and systematically violent, even racist and discriminating towards ethnic Norwegian youths and anti-immigrant individuals. They abused drugs and many were involved in criminal activity, yet cheered by the media because of their “tolerance” and so called “anti-racist” attitude.

Intolerance, racism and acts of Jihad were tolerated against native Norwegians as the perpetrators were categorised as victims by default (as minorities). They were seldom punished properly.

I remember the occasional crackdowns on right wing youth movements during this period. The police raided them several times, called their parents and invested a lot of resources on squashing the right wing movement all over Norway. Blitz and other extreme left, SOS Rasisme and the hip-hop community on the other hand received public funding. The Blitz house, a building they had occupied a few decades earlier, was subsidised and under protection by the government in Oslo and still is even today. They are often referred to as the “storm troops” of the Norwegian Labour Party. The government subsidy of the apartment block were Blitz resides equates to more than 3 million USD per year alone. The violent Marxist group “SOS Rasisme” receives 2-3 million NOK annually. It”˜s disgusting.
[…]
When my friendship with Arsalan, Jon Trygve and Richard ended, I pursued and further developed a friendship with my old friends Marius and Christen who lived in my neighbourhood. They were to become my new core of close friends. I also befriended myself with a predominantly “ethnic Norwegian” gang from TÁ¥sen in Oslo. Some of them were active on the graffiti front from earlier and that”˜s how I first met them. This new “alliance” was also quite useful to create “security” for the rest of our “vulnerable years”.

I remember once when a gang of Moroccans came to TÁ¥sen (a predominantly ethnic Norwegian area in the northern part of Oslo) and tried to rob a couple of ethnic local youths. The Moroccan gang was well known for being notoriously violent, having robbed and beaten hundreds of ethnic Norwegian youths all over Oslo. We were at a party at that time. As we heard of the incident we rallied around 20 guys and found the Moroccans near the subway station. We made a deal with them telling them to never come back for their so called “Jizya raids”. They never showed their face on TÁ¥sen again as far as I know. Muslim gangs respect people who respect themselves which is why they have no respect for people who are not prepared to use violence.

As time went by and we started high school at around 17-18, the situation changed drastically. The need for security decreased considerably during this period (mostly because we kept to certain areas). Individuals affiliated with the Muslim gangs were academically weak and were basically “left behind” or they selected practical professional studies like mechanics courses or carpentry. Very few of them had the grades to enter any quality schools in Oslo West. In this regard the need for security vanished and a type of academic segregation occurred.

In retrospect, it”˜s easy to understand why ethnic Norwegians are fleeing Muslim areas. No one likes to be “subdued” ”“ live in fear, being harassed, beaten and robbed. The Muslim ghettofication process has been ongoing the last 30 years and it will continue until there is close to 100% concentrated Muslim areas in Oslo (the same tendency we see in Paris, London and other large Western European cities). When I was around 15-16 there was only 1 or 2 schools where the majority was non-ethnic Norwegian. Now, 15 years later there are around 50 schools on the East side of Oslo where the majority of students are non-natives and primarily Muslim.

It”˜s a miracle how I managed to successfully pass through my “vulnerable years” without being subdued by Muslim gangs even once. I know that there are hundreds, even thousands of incidents per year (I have personally witnessed around 50 incidents) where ethnic Norwegian youths ranging 14-18 are harassed, beaten, raped and robbed and it”˜s getting worse every year. I really don”˜t envy the new generations and the challenges that are facing them regarding Muslim subjugation.

If ethnic Norwegian youth or other non-Muslims attempt to create gangs of their own (for protection purposes), they are immediately labelled as racists and Nazis. At the same time numerous Muslim gangs commit thousands of racist acts each year against ethnic Norwegians and it”˜s either hushed down, ignored and therefore tolerated.

The last 20 years more than 100-200 ethnic Norwegians have been killed by Muslims, a majority by racist or religious/Jihadi motives. Yet, the press are systematically ignoring this and they attempt to link every single incident to non-relevant motives like for example the influence of narcotics/alcohol or blame the accused Muslim of being “psychologically unstable”. Norwegian media refuse to face the truth of the matter which is that most of these incidents are religiously and/or racially motivated.

The only incident I can remember where a racist native have killed a non white was the murder of Benjamin Hermansen, who at the age of 15 years, was murdered in Holmlia, in Oslo, Norway. The death was racially motivated. The murder mobilised large parts of the Norwegian population. Throughout the entire country, marches were organised to protest against the murder, with nearly 40,000 people participating in Oslo. The Benjamin Prize was established as a Norwegian prize to counter racism in 2002. The prize is awarded to a school that actively works against racism and discrimination.

Could this have happened if the victim was native and the aggressors were Muslims? No, not in a million years! Our politicians are terrified of offending the Muslim community in any way.

Also, more than 80% of our parliamentarians have never experienced Muslim gangs with all its ugly manifestations. A great majority of them haven”˜t even been raised in Oslo or any large European city with small but dominant Muslim minorities. They usually move to Oslo as adults and settle in the non-Muslim areas of the city. Our parliamentarians and media are completely unplugged from reality, they don”˜t know what”˜s going on or they don”˜t want to know. On the other hand, the new generations that have experienced this development the last two decades are all urban, young individuals under 30-35 years. I”˜m quite sure the majority of them now vote the Progress Party, Norway”˜s only anti- immigration party. Several statistics indicate that indigenous Europeans in Muslim dominated areas oppose mass Muslim immigration.

Oslo used to be a peaceful city. Thanks to the Norwegian cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regime they have transformed my beloved city into a broken city, a bunkered society, a multiculturalist shit hole where no one is safe anymore, to use blunt language.

The following is an overview of experiences I have had during my youth in Oslo. I”˜ve ”•only”– experienced 8 assaults, attempted robberies and multiple threats. I”˜ve never actually been severely ravaged, robbed or beaten my Muslims (a broken nose is the worst thing that occurred) but I know more than 20 people who have. I know at least 2 girls that have been raped my Muslims and I am familiar with two more cases in my broader network (1 gang rape). One girl though was cut badly in the face by Muslims. As such, I guess I should feel lucky or privileged. I live in Oslo West far away from the nearest Muslim enclave as more or less all of them are localised on Oslo East. There is little difference in their level of aggressiveness among the various Muslim groups, regardless if they are from Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, Morocco or Albania.

I do, however, acknowledge that only a small proportion of Muslims are so called “Jihadi youth” but this argument is defeated by the mere fact that the same thing can be said about the Taliban in Pakistan. The Taliban only makes out 1-3% of the population, yet they have caused a civil war. It is apparent that dhimmitude and a bunkered society is the new reality as long as Islam (and individual Muslims) are allowed to move freely in our societies. Our major cities will remain “broken” as long as multiculturalism is allowed to be the prevalent ideology, as long as cultural Marxists are allowed to set the agenda.

15 years ”“ (when I was 15, time: 20.00) – Attempted robbery by Pakistani gang outside a concert. Luckily for me I knew a hardcore Pakistani thug (from the Pakistani A gang in Oslo) who told them I was under his protection. There have been approximately 10 other threatening situations where me and my friends were unharmed.

16 years ”“ (Time: 16.30) – Assault ”“ an older and much stronger/bigger Pakistani hit me without provocation in front of Majorstuenhuset. Apparently, he wanted to subdue me in front of my “friend” Arsalan who apparently had told him to do it. This concluded, for my part, my friendship with him and I re-connected with my old friends after this incident. However, this restricted my territorial freedoms, as I was no longer under the protection of the Oslo Ummah. From now on we would have to arm ourselves whenever we went to parties in case Muslim gangs showed up and we usually chose to stay in our neighbourhoods”˜ on Oslo West.

17 years ”“ (Time: 01.30) – Attempted assault and robbery – Us 2, them 3: 2 Pakistanis and 1 wannabe-Pakistani. We were actually heading home after being on the same party together. The wannabe-Pakistani suddenly turned on me without provocation and rallied the other two. Me and my friend had to run as we were unarmed at the time.

17 years ”“ (Time: 23.30) – Assault and attempted robbery – Us 10, them 12 Moroccans. Location TÁ¥sen, Oslo.

They were robbing (collecting Jizya) and beating local kafr/Norwegian kids at TÁ¥sen center, they had done this on numerous occasions. They didn”˜t live there but travelled to TÁ¥sen from a Muslim enclave on Oslo East. I was at a party on TÁ¥sen when we heard they had just beaten one of my friends younger brothers. We went there to chase them away from the neighbourhood. They had weapons, we had weapons. I was hit with a billiard pool in the head. Result of the fight: we made a deal with them, they promised they would never return and harass the TÁ¥sen youngsters again.

18 years ”“ (Time: 01.00) – Assault by Pakistani gang outside a club. A friend of mine was attacked without provocation by a gang of 6. I told him to run as they outnumbered us. Result: broken nose.

19 years ”“ (Time: 02.00) – Attempted robbery by two Pakistanis at a bar. I had my friends nearby so I told them to fuck off or I we would bash their faces in (an effective psychological deterrent, most Pakistani thugs have a Neanderthal mentality so to show weakness will only invite to abuse etc;). Pakistanis are usually a lot more cowardly than Northern African Muslims though (I wouldn”˜t have tried that strategy on Moroccans”˜).

20 years ”“ (Time: 22.00) – Threats and attempted assault – Us 3, them 4. Me and two friends were about to order at Burger King when a Norwegian girl crossed the food queue. As she went by she pushed me, saying; “MOVE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!”. Needless to say, I was very surprised and I managed to stutter the words; “suck my dick, bitch”, while perplexed. She ran over to her friends, 4 Moroccans”˜ sitting at a corner and just waiting to pick a fight… They approached me (I was alone at the time) and told me they were going to “fuck me up severely” as soon as I left Burger King. I had tear gas on me, as I always have when going out late. However, I decided to go with the “deterrent strategy”, so I called my two friends, Erling, a relatively small adopted Columbian, and his friend a relatively big Christian Ugandan. Having established my deterrent, and obviously not interested in fighting these savages (as is my policy with all Muslim bullies under normal circumstances), I went ahead and started negotiating, offering the “Muslim whore” an apology. End result was, we left as a group and had the Muslims follow us until we managed to lose them. The most annoying things about the encounter is that you really can”˜t control when you bump into them again. Luckily, a majority of Muslim savages like them live on the East side of town.

21 years ”“ (Time: 01.30) – Attempted assault and robbery – Us 4, them 4. Me and my best friends; Peter, Marius and Martin were out clubbing and drinking. This was actually the first time I smoked (normal cigarettes) and I fainted for a few seconds outside a store not far from the club. This was the first and only time I have fainted in my life btw, lol. Apparently, 4 Albanian Muslims saw this incident and figured I would make an easy target. All 4 of them approached me and tried to rob me. At that time my friends just arrived and they started to threaten them as well as one of them pulled out a knife.

Obviously, we didn”˜t want to fight these savages, so we said we would take out some cash for them in an ATM in the nearby Burger King. We called the police as soon as we entered. However, this was Saturday night so we had no luck getting a response. We ordered some food and stayed at Burger King for a little more than an hour, at which point the Muslim savages had left (probably busy robbing other victims).

Moldbug concludes:

While I am not so gullible as to take ABB’s autobiography as gospel, it’s also obvious that he has neither the literary talent nor the imagination to invent these squalid realities.

He adds that this problem is more general than the West’s ancient and permanent conflict with Islam:

The trouble with Oslo isn’t that the Norwegian Workers’ Party has imported a Muslim underclass – it’s that the Norwegian Workers’ Party has imported an underclass.

I would generalize even further than that: the same problems arise even when an indigenous culture imports an alien overclass, as we see, for example, in the bitter tensions that have arisen in the various places around Southeast Asia where ethnic Chinese have come to dominate the local economies.

So: here’s where we have to thread the needle: to try to speak clearly about what Anders Breivik is, and what led him to his unforgivable act, without justifying or excusing it — to attempt an understanding that cannot possibly be mistaken for endorsement, an explication with not a whiff of expiation.

Is Breivik “insane”? Certainly not in the way, say, Jared Loughner is. Of course we might say, as some have, that the incredible brutality and cold-bloodedness of his massacre at UtÁ¸ya make him insane by definition, but that’s too simple. Jared Loughner’s friends and classmates all knew he was out of his mind, and repeatedly warned officials at his school that he was a ticking bomb. Nobody seems to have had any inkling that anything was amiss in Anders Breivik’s head until the bomb actually went off.

But was he rational? Well, reason can lead to very different theorems when you feed it different axioms. When your axiom is this must be stopped at any cost, a great many things become possible, and rational. Anders Breivik quite reasonably seems to have concluded that the real enemy is not the immigrants themselves — after all, they are just availing themselves, as anyone would, of an opportunity to exchange squalid and penurious lives in poor and dangerous places for a far more secure existence in prosperous and generous Norway — but is, rather, the Leftist ruling class who brought them there. He also quite reasonably understood that he stood in an asymmetrical power relation to that ruling class. When your axiom is this must be stopped at any cost, then you have declared war — and the weapon of asymmetrical war is terrorism, which can never win in absolute terms, but which very effectively sows fear and chaos. The terrorist aims to be the wasp in the car that startles and distracts the driver so badly that he runs off the road. The camp at UtÁ¸ya was a training facility for the next generation of Norway’s Leftist rulers. How better to unhinge his enemies, then, than to attack their children? And how better to strike down his future masters than by destroying them in the nest?

Writing at Occidental Dissent, William Rome makes this last point by quoting Kipling’s Rikki-Tikki-Tavi:

Darzee was a feather-brained little fellow who could never hold more than one idea at a time in his head; and just because he knew that Nagaina’s children were born in eggs like his own, he didn’t think at first that it was fair to kill them. But his wife was a sensible bird, and she knew that cobra’s eggs meant young cobras later on; so she flew off from the nest, and left Darzee to keep the babies warm, and continue his song about the death of Nag. Darzee was very like a man in some ways.

So: insane? Not, at least, in the usual way. It might be argued that if he were truly approaching his task rationally, he’d have realized that his violence would in fact be counterproductive — that it would lead to the demonization and suppression of precisely those dissenting voices that gave focus and structure to his own views. Such demonization and suppression is already in force, of course: merely to raise these questions is to invite a cataract of opprobrium, and anyone not fully on board with “the peaceful, nonviolent disappearance of the white race” is an “extremist”, a “xenophobe”, etc., to be shunned and disfellowshipped by polite society. But if the problem is real — and it is — such repression will not make it go away: silencing and stifling public debate will only delay and intensify the inevitable explosion. The right way, then, to prevent another horror like Breivik’s, and horrors far worse, will be for cultural conservatives to keep speaking out — and to hope that Europe’s leaders begin to listen.
