Yesterday, I came across a selfie taken at Auschwitz. My initial reaction was surprising even to myself: "Wow, this is rough." This struck me as odd because I often see people taking selfies in my church, which I dislike but have come to "accept."
Auschwitz, a propaganda hotspot, attracts millions of visitors each year. The effectiveness of this propaganda becomes evident when one considers the feelings it evokes – the sense that certain actions, like taking selfies, should not be done there.
The idea that Auschwitz is a very special place has also been ingrained in me. I think my experience highlights the power of propaganda. Even when we don't realize it, our feelings are heavily influenced by the deceptive narratives we're exposed to, even though we may rationally reject the same narratives. Or maybe it's just fear for these girls, that the Jews or more likely all those people influenced by the propaganda will go after them like bloodhounds hunting them down to bring them on their knees shouting "shame, shame, shame".

My issue here is the narcissistic vibe in all of these photos, regardless of whether these are taken in Auschwitz or elsewhere. Maybe an accidental instance of the idiocracy agenda blowing up in the face of the Holocaust agenda. Or an unconscious manifestation of the Holocaust being a fraud imposed upon the Western peoples, otherwise young people will be more respectful visiting memorials.
I think you can make a solid argument that some ethnogenesis has happened such that you can speak of "American Blacks" as their own ethnic group. They have roughly the same accent, at least more similar to each other than to the other groups (basically a Southern accent with some idiosyncracies), thy have a similar genetic makeup (roughly the same mix of Western Bantu combined with 10-30 % white), they have their own history (slavery, blues, negro gospel etc.) their own cuisine (chitlins n grits and stuff like that), similar mannerisms, similar music and they generally flock together in urban areas.
The same process happened in the Aramaic-speaking regions of the Fertile Crescent, where Christianization melded the various ethnic groups such as Canaanites, Hebrews/Judeans, Chaldeans, Assyrians and the Syriac Arameans into a single Aramaic-speaking Christian nation. It's just that the Nestorian and Monophysite schisms brought about the nuanced modern usage of the labels "Syriac," "Assyrian," and "Chaldean."
I suppose that white Americans can also be considered their ethnic group already, distinct from the source European peoples. This might explain all the conflict between white nationalism vs civic nationalism in the US context, and how both approaches to nationalism still differ from European far-right nationalists. The same cannot be said for Asians, however, as one can still trace his lineage to whether he's Han Chinese or Korean or Japanese.
How African groups in Africa differentiate themselves is neither here nor there. I also don't think it helps to tell them that their group identity is not a real identity. It's a neat identity, only that it's loaded with false premises at the moment, in that they believe their identity is based on being oppressed and their have the inherent right to make demands to everyone. But that doesn't mean the identity itself is wrong.
I actually think it's fine for them to identify as that group and even helpful as far as group loyalty goes. White people (and that's a real group as well, I don't care what Eugene has to say) don't understand the particularities of their issues as well as they do, and even if they did, they wouldn't be listened to by the majority of them
American black identity seems to have been re-defined as a negation or opposition to white American identity, just how Talmudic Judaism is defined by its inherent rejection of Jesus Christ. It's so dialectically driven which explains all their self-serving demands on reparation from whites. White right-wingers on the other hand remain ideologically divided between the opposing camps of civic nationalism and white ethno-nationalism. All three identitarian movements share the same foundation of being rootless Americanized mutts, which leads to all the "we waz kangz" nonsense on the part of blacks, and all the LARPing we see among whites.
Let me address biological determinism as such: Temptations are of the flesh, so it's not weird that they are determined by your biology. High testosterone brings temptations of anger and violence to blacks. High IQ and creativity brings dangers of pride and heresy to Whites. Social Neuroticism brings cowardice and a lack of martyrdom to East Asians. All of those sins we can observe very clearly within all those races in today's world.
In the same sense, many Black people, particularly in Africa but also in America, have a beautiful and child-like humbleness and devote simplicity to them, Whites are explorers capable of creating great material and intellectual edifices for others to built on, East Asians are great preservers of tradition and mores.
On a brighter side, repentance and the Christian life can help Christians overcome the negative character traits associated with their races. A black man can learn meekness, gentleness and self-control, and cultivate wisdom and intellectual pursuits (maybe even push his IQ upward by a few points, all things are possible through Christ). An East Asian man can learn to become braver, bolder, more stable emotionally and less risk-averse. Racial determinism can only be a stumbling block if viewed from an atheist, materialist paradigm denying any possibility of a miracle. At the same time, one must be careful to not fall into the quasi-Gnostic opposite end of denying race realism altogether out of political correctness. I guess the Orthodox Christian worldview provides us the best means to approach race realism, as we don't hold a dialectic view of setting up the material against the spiritual/ideal, and we proclaim the truth of God's divine energies being able to uplift human material conditions.
The problem seems to be that less advanced ethnostates and cultures seem perpetually bitter and envious of more advanced ones (rather than trying to improve), and make it their mission to either destroy or take over the latter (see Islam and Europe, increasingly blacks vs Whites/Asians in USA/South Africa). USA worked out pretty well for a while (taking the best and brightest from other countries in an attempt at a shared ideals of sorts). That was ruined when we started taking in ungrateful 3rd world trash and not expecting shared ideals. Unfortunately I think hard borders will eventually have to become the norm again. Some immigration is fine, and even beneficial, but they need to remain small and niche, and they need to adopt the host country's values or get out.
The problem is that, for immigration to become truly successful, non-white migrants need to become rootless (in relation their societies of origin) and disavow their heritage in order to fully integrate to Europeans and white Americans.
If you want a very filtered or controlled immigration, you'd have to enforce certain parameters or metrics such as IQ, high educational attainment, and social behavior oriented towards becoming a law-abiding citizen (i.e. no Algerians or Moroccans going hooligans in France over soccer games). I guess this leaves East Asians and some Indians benefiting the most from this structure. But this isn't enough; you'd need them to consciously discard any sentiment of bitterness or grievance against white peoples, and internalize a mindset of appreciating European history, culture and civilization, all in all a genuine desire to integrate into Western society and have a personal stake in defending Western civilization. So something resembling Evola's theory of internalizing the Aryan spirit.
This is gonna be a stumbling block because Asian-Americans simultaneously possess both elitism and inferiority complex towards white people. The few based instances of Han Chinese exposing Jewish privilege are more out of a sense of competition, rather than a normative desire of preserving Christendom. You get Japs being bitter over their country getting nuked, Koreans blaming Western powers for the division of their nation, and of course the Chinks forever talking about their "century of humiliation" and their Schadenfreude of the PRC rising as the new global power at the expense of the USA.
