Last week an article was published in the Telegraph entitled ‘White Men No Longer Want to Fight for a Nation That Scorns Them’. The piece was written by one Robert Clark, current director of defence and security as Civitas, and ex-soldier who has seen deployment in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The article which followed was just as extreme as the title, though this was not because anything which Mr Clark said was untrue. Quite the opposite.
The extreme tone of the article came down to a few key factors. The first being that Mr Clark identified 'white men' as a demographic without the obligatory demonization which usually follows. The second is because, throughout his piece, he uttered a few forbidden truths, the sort which the native British tend only to utter in hushed tones among themselves, at the pub or in their own homes.
I encourage you to read the article, and I am grateful to the Telegraph for having published it. It seems others where too. Where usually the Telegraph's tweets receive less engagement than a straight man at a lesbian disco, this one blew up. At the time of writing this the tweet sits pretty with thousands of likes and hundreds of comments (most of which seem to agree with the sentiments expressed). Compare this with your average Telegraph tweet which is lucky if it reaches ten likes, and which usually only receive comments from AI sex bots, and it looks like a good indicator that a main stream media outlet has finally, for the first time in my life, said something which the public can relate to.
All of this comes amid uncertain, but painfully predictable times. The global landscape has never looked so foreboding in my lifetime as major powers outside of the West begin to smell the weakness which has saturated our civilization, and make moves which they otherwise would not have taken. While our leaders and their flock of liberal gatekeepers preach equality and diversity, the rest of the world values hierarchy and homogeneity. While our nations cower to the black lives matter mob and promote the homosexual alphabet cult, the others value family and their own people. While we arrest those who speak out in favour of our native stock, other nations arrest those who speak against them. While we outsource and ban our own industry, they bolster theirs. And while we shrink at the thought of power, and apologise for our history, other nations seek power out, and are proud of who they are.
I'm not saying Russia, China, or Iran have it right, but I am saying that we did. Once upon a time, less than one hundred years ago, this was a proper country. A country with faith. A country where men and women knew their role and did their duty. We were a proud people. We had families. We were self sufficient. We were capable and willing to defend our home and more, exploring, conquering, and discovering all which this world had to offer.
All of this changed after WWII. We suffer many evils in this country, chief among them the reduction of our national identity to nothing but a matter of paperwork, and the deconstruction of all which defined us and kept us strong and good. It has long been whispered by those in opposition to our new direction (for such matters must be whispered if one is to survive), that all of this has left us terribly vulnerable.
Anyone who takes the time to listen will know that the grievance of the straight white British male toward all of this feminism, population replacement, and worship of homosexuality does not come from them simply feeling pushed out, but because these men, the likes of whom the nation was built by and relied on, know fine well how this ends. Our weakness will be exploited by the global competition, and when that day comes, every Englishman knows in his gut that the Somali refugees, girl boss' and transvestites will not lay down their lives for this country. The trouble is, as it stands, neither will young British men, the likes of whom have been forcibly discouraged from investing in this country.
All of this became apparent recently when, following a similar warning from a top Nato official, the head of the British army warned that in the event of a war with Russia, the British public will be called up to fight. Some have posited that this announcement was a test to probe British attitudes towards conscription. If this was the case, things aren't looking good.
Almost unanimously the report was met with a resounding 'not a chance'. As with the sinking of the Titanic, the feminists were nowhere to be found, and the ethnic minorities now residing here expressed an unsurprising lack of allegiance to Great Britain despite being prioritised by our ruling cult of minority worship right up to the positions of London Mayor, Scottish First minister, and PM. The spiteful mutants on the left of course refused to go, the Ukrainian flags on their twitter profiles suddenly counting for nothing (though they're probably too busy writing Harry Potter fan fiction and polishing their Funko pops to fight anyway).
Aside from all of this the overwhelming response from working class white men, once the go to fighting force for this country, seemed to be refusal. This despite the liberals and minorities performing Olympic standard mental gymnastics and asserting that anyone calling themselves a British patriot should be first in line to die on Ukrainian soil fighting for an elite which has done far greater damage to the British people and their nation than any foreign power in the last eighty years. Some from this countries native stock even asserted in response to the article that they would war against our own government before they ever picked up a gun against the Russians, with one twitter user writing 'no Russian ever called me Gammon'.
And should we be surprised? All of this comes within a few days of some fairly startling news stories, now disgracefully common in a country desperately trying to hold together a failing experiment in diversity and equality. Sam Melia, accused of heading an online campaign known as the Hundred-Handers, has just been found guilty of inciting racial hatred by producing stickers which read things like 'reject white guilt' and 'Brits to be a minority by 2066', despite the prosecution allegedly admitting that the language was lawful and in some cases true, but stating that this was no defence in such a case.
Besides this story we were also treated to a few others, just to really emphasise the dystopia. We got the news of the West African man spared murder charges after stabbing three to death in Nottingham and trying to kill multiple others with a stolen van. We got the platforming by multiple main stream media organisations of a black activist who doesn't like us singing Rule Britannia because we should be more focused on diversity. And lastly, we got another black activist regularly platformed by the main stream gloating in the most irritating way on TikTok that this recent call to arms must surely only apply to the native white British whose home she resides in.
If this saga has highlighted anything it has certainly not been that this new Britannia is battle ready. Instead it has revealed what the ‘far-right’, already knew: diversity divides and liberalism weakens. If the government is paying attention at all, which they probably are, they might want to reconsider their foreign policy in light of this fiasco. They’ll have to, because they will never willingly reverse the damage done to this once mighty nation in the last eighty years.
All of this is not to say that British men would not fight if the threat were really bearing down on them, mind you. They have families and their own communities to think of after all. It's just that these communities are in no way aligned with the ruling elite. While I do believe we would fight to protect what little we still have, I believe having to do so because our liberal establishments had weakened us to the point where our enemies felt emboldened enough to attack would only increase the resentment already felt by white men in this country, particularly those from the working class. And when such resentment is harboured by men now desensitised to war and violence, as would be the case here, who knows what might happen when those men returned to Britain, be they victorious or otherwise.
G.K. Chesterton opined that 'the true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him', and I believe this is why our forebears went to war readily, and why we will not. Behind them stood a green and pleasant land, Great Britain, their home. Behind us stands a failing experiment, a nation betrayed and given over to those elements, both foreign and domestic, who were never invested in her, and who were indeed openly hostile to her. We do not recognise this new Britain, and we do not love her, because she does not love us.
