Settlers is like really blackpilled Maoism. The basic theory of the book (written in the early 80s) is that the U.S. is like a really big Israel or South Africa. It's a settler-colonialist regime that turned into a big empire and there was plenty of land to go around. There are poor white people, but that's just how it is. Thing is, people don't know, Sakai shits on black nationalists a whole bunch. He said this:

>European capitalists actually took over title to the entire planet and its planetary population (including–as my comrade Butch always says–not only all humans but every animal and plant down to the last seal and tree and stalk of grain) in the Berlin imperialist conference around 1895 or so. But as rising Asian billionaires can happily testify, Whitey is definitely losing it double-time. In this real new world order, militarily victorious Vietnamese “Communism” is begging for more Nike sweatshops. Post-colonial Ethiopians and Eritreans with their own tanks and artillery aplenty slaughtered way more more of their own people in one year’s little Black-on-Black border shoving match than the u.s. military killed in Iraq and Afghanistan put together. The post-liberation Black “socialist” men’s gerontocracies in South Africa and Zimbabwe are killing more women and children with their deliberate AIDS plague right now than the u.s. empire did in eleven years of invasion in Vietnam. Many more killings than Hitler did Jews. Remember that funny Black cultural nationalist line from the 1980s that Africans are the supposed “Sun people”, genetically predispositioned to be more humane and civilized than those admittedly nasty “Ice people” from Northern Europe? Clowns don’t always make you laugh.

>Today, in contrast, the u.s. bubble empire, with its heavy-technology storm troopers, struts and preens itself in decadent ecstasy whenever they can recapture any small, poverty-stricken Third-World capitalist neo-colony (often done in a fake war, as in Afghanistan and Iraq, with cooperating bribed warlords and generals). Hollywood invasions of Haiti, Afghanistan, Panama, tiny Philippine islands or dysfunctional oil field dictatorships mark the true level of their beat power now. But if a few hundred or a few thousand of its mercenary techno-legion GIs get whacked, then the whole society is weeping and wailing. Privileged amerikkka is too soft to slug it out anymore. We might say that the u.s. empire is less like a great military power in the old sense and more like a superbly-armed private mafia for a gated suburb. Its power is very dangerous on a tactical level–like a SWAT team blowing down your front door will really put some concern on your mind–but strategically it is more and more dysfunctional and immobilized.

>Essential production and socially useful work occupy a gradually diminishing place in the domestic activity of U.S. corporations, in the work of its settler citizens, in the imperial culture. Decadence is taking over in an even deeper way, in which non-essential and parasitic things become the most profitable, while worthless activities are thought the most important. Always present within imperialism, this decadence now becomes dominant within the oppressor nation.

>We can see this in the dramatic increase of the non-productive layers in economic life. While this phenomenon is centered in the rule of finance capital, its manifestation appears in all imperialist institutions. Advertising, marketing, package design, finance, "corporate planning," etc. mushroom with each corporation. Management on all levels grows as numbers of production workers shrink. When one includes the large army of white-collar clerical workers needed to maintain management and carry out its work, the proportions become visibly lop-sided. At Weyerhaeuser, the large timberland and natural resources corporation, top executives and professionals alone (not including supervisors, foremen and clerical workers) account for one out of every six employees. At the Southern Pacific Railroad, one out of every ten employees is in management.

>The life of European settlers — and the class structure of their society — was abnormal because it was dependent upon a foundation of conquest, genocide, and enslavement. The myth of the self-sufficient, white settler family "clearing the wilderness" and supporting themselves through their own initiative and hard labor, is a propaganda fabrication. It is the absolute characteristic of settler society to be parasitic, dependent upon the superexploitation of oppressed peoples for its style of life. Never has Euro-Amerikan society completely supported itself. This is the decisive factor in the consciousness of all classes and strata of white society from 1600 to now.

...

>Most importantly, Euro-Amerikans share an exceptional way of life. What is so exceptional about it is that almost all get to live in a bourgeois way, "quite Philistine in the mode of life, in the size of their earnings and in their entire outlook..." Thus, the mass of the lower middle classes, the huge labor aristocracy, and most workers are fused together by a common national way of life and a common national ideology as oppressors. The masses share a way of life that apes the bourgeoisie, dominated by a decadent preoccupation with private consumption. Consuming things and owning things, no matter how shoddy or trivial, is the mass religion. The real world of desperate toil, the world of the proletarians who own nothing but their labor power, is looked down upon with contempt and fear by the Euro-Amerikans.

...

>The most significant fact about the real consciousness of the Euro-Amerikan masses is how anti- communal and private it is. Settlers recognize no common bond with the rest of humanity. That is why everything they build is perverted: why settler trade-unions are anti-proletarian, and settler "Women's Liberation" is happy to exploit the women of other nations. It means nothing to Euro-Amerikans that the winter fruit they eat was really paid for by the lives of Mexican or Chilean or Filipino children. For them the flavor is so sweet. Euro-Amerikans don't even really care too much about each other. Lower taxes are more important than food for their own elderly. This is a diseased culture, with a mass political consciousness that is centered around parasitism.

>The metropolitan elite, university-educated, residing in major urban areas, dominates the computer industry and global corporate sectors like finance and media. While backing Hillary and LGBT human rights for public politics and all that, in their own worlds they live in apartheid racial/gender discipline. In the futuristic Silicon Valley, computer firms like Twitter and Pinterest are each coincidentally 92% white and Asian for tech employees. Google is right there, too, with tech employees being 94% white and Asian. Same at other computer corporations. It isn’t hard to guess that there are ethnic quotas or near-blanket exclusions secretly agreed upon between these outspokenly liberal corporate leaders. It’s ironic that conservative white factory workers and small industrial employers in the Midwest may be for Trump, but have much more integrated workplaces. Incidentally, the liberal icon New York Times, where Paul Krugman’s columns appear, has 6 White House reporters, but none of them are Black. It has 21 sports reporters, but none of them are Black (although basketball and American football, for instance, are heavily Black). Their lifestyles section has no Black writers, although Black people do have real lives. So who is more racist and backward?

I think that’s probably a too complex for a post on here to do justice.

Part of that is the peculiar ethnic disposition of jews. As for the gentile middle class, I don't think it's so much as a 'genocidal hatred' as a lack of a feeling any obligation. Under the old order, the aristocrats understood themselves as having a divinely ordained relationship between themselves and their subjects, it was their duty to protect them to a certain extent.

Jews are obviously a problem, but I can't say the Gentile hands are clean either at this point.
For example the Anglo Gentiles heavily collaborated with them to build the British Empire, and it was the Gentiles that went full Puritan Schizo mode on the American South (at least initially, now both groups egg each other on).

Regardless if it is due to inferiority or just a lack of obligation, I pretty much agree with all of this - It is just more evidence they are completely inferior to the old elite they deposed.

His book is more than the popular characterization of it caused by people who haven't read it and by its edgy title.

tl;dr of the book is-
Early colonial America was mostly tradesmen, merchants, yeomen farmer and plantation owners. Most people who were wage workers were immigrants(European and non-European). After a generation or two these people would become merchants, bourgeoisie, tradesmen, owners of ranches and farms. These people zealously guarded their status and would attempt to keep new immigrants and coloreds from reaching these new classes.

To me what was new in the book is how many colonial Americans had slaves and servants, it was everybody not just plantation owners.

White working class is really the loser. I don't say that to shit on them, but to emphasize that these are people that despite generations in America still work Mexican-tier work. They and their ancestors obviously suck at building intergenerational wealth and those people are usually identified as losers and as automation and outsourcing makes that type of work disappear they will have two choices, stop sucking at life or suicide. Or die for Israel.

This sort of thinking has always struck me as a bit silly. If you hate crackers so deeply why do you care about being around them so much? What does it matter if you're a New Immigrant and feel Excluded?

This is why I tend to dislike immigrants to America, they go to America to make money, if they fail they whine, if they succeed they whine; and even if they don't whine they are still people who chose money over blood and soil ties. I kind of feel bad for their children because they grow up as racial aliens, I would suggest they go back to their own country, but given that their parents are losers, immigrants=losers/cowards in the native country. They are genetically predisposed to staying in the powerful, wealthy country for the sake of security and wealth rather than RETVRNING to tradition.
>>18243718
Scotch-Irish were fucked by lack of forethought and group cohesion, the same goes for blacks. I don't mean to put words in your mouth, so this point I am about to make is more for my sake, not to attack you. The only people who ought to care about the Scotch-Irish or Blacks should be the Scotch-Irish or the Blacks themselves. If you can't write the laws that provide a future for your children then find other means to secure a future for your people. Organize and pursue your own interests outside of the government. I am not talking of a secessionist government, but the formation of a local elite(the more successful) or of the masses(not really possible in societies that aren't communistic) to dedicate themselves to dealing with problems in the community. The government is terrible at working in the interest of local communities, it pretty much only operates in the interest of national and cosmopolitan elites.

My point is that if a community is having problems it is because it has a lack of forethought and group cohesion.

This should have ended the thread. The whole thing was made to weaponize Idpol against organized labor.

Some absolutely insane statistic like 98% of straight people wouldn't sleep with them. IIRC even most bisexuals don't want to stick their dicks in crazy. They don't even want to fuck each other.
Tutting someone because they don't want to fuck a tranny is the definition of performative, they have absolutely no intention of doing it and probably live in terror of having to put their money where their mouth is.

This is only because whites live in mythology where rednecks are supposedly the underclass. Once the blinds of it fall and are replaced with racial identity they will stop.

This. The writing in this book is so snarky and sardonic in its cruel edginess it reads like it was written by Mencius Moldbug. The odds that this mysterious “j. Sakai” character was a leftwing activist or a real Asian is pretty low in my estimation. Definitely a glowie
