Reminder that morality is nothing more than a guide to self-benefit. Don't waste your time reading large books that go on and on about some sort of vague, foundationless system of morality when it can be fully explained in a few pages. You act morally for your own benefit. Otherwise, why be moral?

every society judges behavior as beneficial for its own continuation or not, thus creating a hierarchical system of values.
In every system there are those who excel at engaging in this system and those who are marginalized, this attitude find root in the will or unwillingness to participate in the set of values by those exceeding or failing and in the collective unconscious of the mass.
In this behaviors the mass "chooses" it's bests champions and examples for those values; it's not a conscious choice.
So morality it's an intrinsic aspect of social life, not a political one; it's a biological necessity of human life.
By denying morality you are in fact challenging the current morality, but no eliminating morality itself, as to do so you'd had to stop being human; a monster of sorts.

The peak of European power and dominance over the planet was in the middle of the 19th century. The recession from this peak was due to internal -rather than external- forces, although I'd submit that these were not inevitable. This period saw the rise of social organizations which -satisfied with conquering the planet- saw the next project to perfect the morality of their nations, eventually leading to civil rights and independence movements.

The mistaken ideal of moral perfection has led to multiculturalism and massive economic opportunity loses: the slippery slope has proven all too real as voting rights have led to a creep towards all manner of dubious rights (E.G. being called by a preferred pronoun.) From a cultural perspective, not every country is equal, and technological advances allowed Europe to dominate the world, before morality encouraged to give up their holdings.

A central dogma of Conservatism is that society and the individual should be moral, but the most dominant empires at their peak, throughout history were far from moral... and it is this contradiction which I consider to be the blindspot which will doom efforts towards the preservation of White European culture. Society doesn't fall apart because it lacks a defined morality, but because it dogmatically clings to ideals which no longer apply to its current situation.

The argument against a White identity is political correctness, although this is not politically motivated, at all, but moral. The solution to this isn't liberalism, conservatism or libertarianism, but in a pragmatic version of libertinism (De Sade failed to resolve the contradiction where the goals of numerous libertines would clash- there have to be winners and losers.)

Morality is a central precept of conservatism, and it creeps towards a universality. If history teaches anything it is that the content of morality is mutable. When you start claiming it "springs from the individual" it inevitably becomes applied universally. Morality is the rope which is being used to hang the White European races. True freedom always ultimately infringes on someone elses "freedom", therefore there need to be a different set of restrictions (very little) for your population and the other populations (more significant.)

A decent list of the top empires might include Ancient Egypt, Rome, Babylon, Macedonia/Persia, Mongol, Francian, Spain, France, British. None of these had any consistent morality. They all had one thing in common: predation. The key to a good empire is exploiting others for your benefit.
>>13570024
Morals always change, because they aren't based on something static. If you want to see the continuation of a distinct White culture, you need to base social standards on that goal explicitly, and not something mutable. Morality is an arbitrary construct which will eventually extend to people who aren't that population. Morality which applies universally (and it is inevitably pushed in that direction- its like entropy,) spreads because morals are entirely arbitrary constructs which are based on emotion (I.E. the "right thing to do" - who says?)

If you make a distinction between your people and everyone else then things can work, but it can't be based on morals. If its everyone else... not your problem. Nothing stops you from having laws, based on a goal, not a morality. As soon as you open the door to something arbitrary being "correct," it becomes discussion/negotiation.

Umm being immoral leads to self benefit too. I'd argue that being immoral can actually be more self beneficial to you because why be a good person and make sacrifices if you can just rape, steal, cheat, sell drugs, be salacious, etc? Being moral is not about self benefit because it takes more will power and dedication to be a good person. Also to have morality, you need divinity otherwise you have no reason at all to be a good person and you could lead a feel good, hedonistic lifestyle with no consequence.

Morality does stem from our natures (it's the abstract social stratagems of sophisticated social beings), and this is exactly why it isn't and never can be truly universal. Sure, there's a lot of overlap in human nature and we can often cooperate... However, populations are divergent and those divergent natures are unavoidably in competition -- as you've noted.

A flawed and perverted notion of morality is the rope... A notion in which double standards are tenable and long-term consequences are ignored. It's actually laughably incoherent and incosistently applied, despite all the pretension to universality.

Argument? Is clear your parents probably failed at parenting you and as a result you suffer of childhood trauma and daddy/mommy issues thus this is the best reason you developed your psychopathic nature.
You seek refugee in your own twisted false logic you developed as a result of your lack of payed attention by your parents/parent. You are mentally ill, you literally need to seek help.
I've also seen you have made this thread multiple times in multiple boards, is very clear you want to show off your own sociopath thoughts to everybody who isn't as mentally ill as yourself. I feel only but both pity and disgust towards you.
