   Radish has all of the tell-tale signs of undergraduates who are inebriated with their own verbosity. Their interest lies more in clever word-play than advancing a coherent thesis. To the extent that I can understand their argument, its provenance seems to be William F. Buckley’s enthusiastic support for racial segregation in the South:

   “The central question that emerges… is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas where it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes — the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race.”

   In other words: we feel that we are superior to Those People, and our feeling of superiority is so vast and all-encompassing that we have the right to impose our choices on them, force them into a secondary role in the society we share, and are “entitled” to “prevail” upon them by any means necessary.

   Or, in other words, the way that the West’s ruling liberal elites feel about their common people, indigenous ethnies, and their ancient traditions.
