As usual, ideology places severe limits of what can be thought and said. Put another way, 'white victimhood' values are an ideology in the sense of the term which "white victimhood advocates" have long denounced: an exercise in self-serving mystification, a vast concealment. The primal mud out of which all ideologies (including Craig Nelson's) emerge is fear. One finds there the frantic human need to deny death and cosmic meaninglessness by contriving theatres of meaning (AKA cultures) and perpetuating them through reproduction. (Oddly, that modern meaning theatres have become inconceivably debased doesn't seem to render them ineffective for those dependent on the illusions they create.)<br />Leftists, Rightists, White opiod addict sympathizers above, people concerned with immigration and "cultural wars," feminists etc refuse to question their hidden presuppositions. The moral worthlessness of their views can be seen in their unanimous obeisance to the nonsense idea of reproductive rights. What rights? Why 'rights'? By what 'right' does one person decide that others are to have misery-laden lives thrust upon them? Seen from a sufficiently detached perspective, the most wild-eyed radical becomes indistinguishable from the fiercest reactionary. They have their respective values. Their values give them life-lies, shielding them from the void. They want their values preserved in the future to keep the void at bay. The rest is commentary.<br />Whatever the ostensible ism, it's really another face of natalism. (One is tempted to speak of the ur-ism.) Because of the existential cowardice which fuels natalism, more inane, suffering billions are created to replace their equally inane and suffering begetters.
