Know Your Enemy, Know Yourself

March 11th, 2016

Awake Goy

Apart from reasons of chance or luck, virtually every strategy that has ever succeeded against some obstacle of significance has done so for one key reason: the party concerned understood the problem. Understand the problem, and you may well be half way to a solution. For this reason, I firmly believe that in the struggle against the continued dispossession of our people, our strategy should not just be based on the old maxim: “Know your enemy”, as important as this is, but, every bit as importantly: “Know yourself”.

The gateway to virtually everything in the sphere of human existence is the human mind. This goes without saying.

And “knowing ourselves” necessarily entails understanding not only how we think on an individual level, but also on a social one. Most crucially of all, however, we must understand exactly what has gone wrong with our psychology in order for us to have been maneuvered into the corner we now find ourselves.

I personally do not believe that we can win this struggle without firstly attaining a thorough understanding of not only our enemy and his methods, but every bit as importantly, a thorough understanding of precisely what has been done to us psychologically, and what continues to be done to us psychologically.

As Sun Tzu himself said some 2500 years ago, unless you understand the strengths and weaknesses of both your enemy and yourself, you will not achieve victory.

One inquiry, which I believes steers us in the right direction straight away, is considering exactly why our dispossession started to really accelerate after the Second World War. The main answer, I believe, is simple: psychology. The 20th century saw massive breakthroughs in Western science’s understanding of human psychology and behaviour, and our enemies saw fit to promptly weaponize this knowledge against us. The effectiveness of this new weapon was then magnified many times over by the emergence of an equally potent weapon: the post-war mass media.

This, as most of would know, is why we are in the unenviable position that we are. This is why other whites are not fighting back, and why, moreover, it does not even occur to other whites that there is even anything to fight back against. Many people I have spoken to have variously likened this harrowing situation to “being under a spell”, a “mass hypnosis”, or even a “spiritual sickness”. And they are all absolutely correct – we are under a spell, a mass hypnosis, and suffering from a spiritual sickness – all facilitated by modern science and technology.

In this article I will present a summary of the main psychological factors at play in our dispossession, as proposed by Professor Kevin MacDonald’s thoughts on the matter, where, without over-elaboration, he provides a stripped-down overview of the chief mechanisms at play, which are based on the Jewish manipulation of three fundamental human drives.

In considering these three areas as a whole, we see a fair degree of overlap in their effects, whereby they appear to be self-reinforcing, and work in concert.

The source from which I draw this information originates from an article from The Occidental Observer, March 24, 2013, titled: “Psychological Mechanisms of White Dispossession”. Some of you may be familiar with these concepts, or even the specific article itself.

In addition to this article, there is also a video of Dr. MacDonald’s presentation on the topic (see featured video).

Either way, familiarity with these vital principles cannot be overstated nor revised enough times.

The manipulation and exploitation of basic human drives facilitating white dispossession

(1) Short-term self-interest

With this first mechanism we look at, we can appreciate that meeting our most immediate short-term needs is undoubtedly one of the strongest and most primal drives we possess. Short-term self-interests in the form of occupational considerations and financial commitments override the importance of longer-term considerations, such as political or demographic changes that may impact the future of one’s offspring, and as such, leave the individual wide open for leverage and manipulation.

It is by this mechanism that whites are rewarded by giving their allegiance to ongoing immigration, multiculturalism and diversity – a system which actively drives their continued dispossession, while at the same time being actively punished for dissent against this same system, in the form of loss of employment and outright ostracism.

In summary then, the primal drive for short-term self-interest can be exploited for reward or punishment, depending upon one’s compliance under the regime.

So with this one single factor alone, we can see just how heavily whites are incentivized to comply with a system that, in any non-white country, would be thoroughly condemned as being totally immoral and working against the normal, healthy interests of the predominant ethnic group.

(2) The drive to seek high social status in tandem with social learning

Like any social animal, the drive to seek high social status is deeply hardwired within our psyche and confers increased advantages for both survival and passing on our genes.

In the modern age, a high social status (in the context by which Dr. MacDonald refers to it) requires intellectual standing, and equates to being seen as intelligent and holding the same attitudes as the institutions which hold prestige and position (essentially these are akin to role models), from which social learning is acquired.

Thus, our drive to seek social status in tandem (facilitated by social learning) can be seen as achieving the intellectual high ground.

Tragically for our people, the acquisition of social learning in Western nations comes from such institutions as the mainstream media, in addition to controlled education and manipulated popular culture, all of which dominate the intellectual high ground we aspire to, and all of which are hostile to white interests.

Extrapolating from this, it becomes even clearer why we are seeing a creeping socialism within Western nations.

(3) The drive to be an accepted member of a moral ingroup

Another salient primal social drive we require is adherence to the morals of our ingroup (in this context, the wider society). This is a vital aspect of our existence upon which our very reputation rests; to go against the moral code of one’s own group generally results in alienation.

This is therefore an Achilles heel that is particularly sensitive to manipulation and exploitation.

Thus the basic human need which needs to be met here is what Kevin MacDonald refers to as the achievement of the moral high ground, as it is framed by the ingroup (wider society) in question.

The bad news for Europeans and European-descended people is that the morals of Western culture are framed in a very negatively-critiqued, very disingenuous manner, which continue to be pushed by a hostile mainstream media and academic elite.

An even greater disadvantage for Europeans and European-descended people under this imperative, however, is the apparent genetic tendency which Europeans possess to form individualist societies (chiefly those of Northwest European stock), which comes with a greater emphasis on moral integrity, as opposed to non-European collectivist cultures elsewhere on the globe.

This tendency toward moral integrity serves as a massive millstone around the of neck of Europeans and European-descended people, as it renders them quite vulnerable to feelings of shame and guilt above and beyond that of other ethnic groups. This once again opens our people up to significant levels of manipulation by the hostile elites we face.

Summary

In summary then, it can be seen that whites have three crucial primal drives that are being heavily manipulated top-down mostly by hostile Jewish elites who possess the infrastructure to facilitate both compliance and guilt from whites, which in turn heavily incentivizes whites to work against their own ethnic interests in their own nations.

The effects of these three areas of manipulation overlap to a large degree and are self-reinforcing.

These manipulative efforts all work to the same end: white dispossession, marginalization, and in the end, elimination of the entire European genepool.

Shockingly, the innate instinct of ensuring the future security of one’s offspring within a large percentage of ethnic Europeans and European-descended people has been completely suffocated (although not eliminated). The manipulative social engineering measures discussed in this article have compromised and blindsided this instinct. However, one gets the feeling that events will gradually force more of our people to open their eyes as our situation continues to deteriorate.

So what can be done to remedy this situation, a situation which appears so bleak and foreboding?

I believe that a great many things can be done on many fronts, however that is a topic for another article. Suffice to say nonetheless, understanding the exact mechanism of our dispossession, and exactly which cogs are turning in which direction, will go a long way in honing our focus to facilitate a concerted effort in tackling this very important issue.

Hopefully, presenting the salient features of Kevin MacDonald’s concepts regarding this topic will at least prove to be a first step for those as yet unfamiliar with the specifics of this subject. As stated at the outset of this article, understand the problem, and you may well be half way to a solution.

Perhaps a closer analysis of the cognitive processes at play here is warranted in order to glean more nuanced insights (for example, the specific cognitive biases at work). But this might be a topic best handled by a qualified psychologist such as Kevin.

Either way, I personally feel that a greater working knowledge of psychology is required for those of us who wish to engage in finding answers to our current dilemma.

Perhaps in closing, a quote from Kevin’s article is appropriate:

All of these processes discussed here depend on elite control. Without elite control, there is no infrastructure that makes displays of guilt and abasement profitable. Social learning only becomes a weapon against Whites after the forces opposed to Whites control the elite media and the academic world . . .”

Nonetheless, the power being wielded over our people all across the Western world is both powerful and it is frightening, and it is invisible to most. Whichever way one wants to frame it, this is both a silent suicide and a silent genocide, and nothing like it has ever occurred in the whole history of humanity.

If our existence is to continue on this planet, this grave threat must be reversed at all costs.
