My 'Imagine' is the Antidote to Lennon's Horrible Anthem

Why I Hate Hippies!

I hate hippies.  I would like to see their hair set on fire; give them forehead tattoos reading “die hippie die”; and chain them to basement radiators - making them live on dog food and electric shocks.  And, its not just cause I grew up punk rock.  It’s cause their stupidity is threatening my life.

Hippies never understood that evil exists.  They think everyone will be united by ‘peace and love, Baby.’  This is especially moronic as the hippies – the 1960s generation – were the children of the men who fought Hitler.  Yeah!  Peace and love from the gas chambers.

My favorite punk rock article-cum-book is “The Clash of Civilizations” by Samuel P. Huntington.  Written in 1992, it denied the vision that peace and love would rule the planet after the USSR fell.  It said the Cold War question “Which side are you on?” would be replaced by “Who are you?”

With a grade school insight, Huntington noted that, “Conflict along the fault line between Western and Islamic civilizations has been going on for 1,300 years.” ‘Conflict’ would be a great punk band name. He predicted that, now that the West was receding, this long-standing conflict would heat up again.

As Europe gets invaded by its traditional Muslim enemies, via “refugees,” the damned hippies keep telling us, “No, man, its okay to bring them in.  And, we’ll all just get along and our love chakras will harmonize, cause we’re in the Age of Aquarius.  You know, at heart, everyone just wants to be loved.”

This retarded kumbaya idea is the basic hippie logic behind multiculturalism.  But as a culturist, I know cultural diversity is real. ISIS is real.  Evil exists. So I say “BS!” to puke-inducing hippie platitudes.

Everyone does not just want to be loved. Some want to kill you. Some want to tie you to a radiator in a basement and dismantle you bit by bit.  Well, of course (disclaimer) I don’t condone violence. But, I’d sooner have a hippie feel pain and humiliation, than have him invite his ISIS love pals into my nation and get killed myself.  

Full Metal Jacket: The Culturist Implications

Here is my problem: I am promoting a culturist version of Darwinian literary studies and very few political activists see an urgent and vital connection between Darwinian literary studies and their patriotic cause.  Fortunately, Stanley Kubrick’s powerful Vietnam War film, Full Metal Jacket, makes the connection clear.

Kubrick’s film follows the career of one recruit ‘Joker’ (Matthew Bodine) go from boot camp to the war, wherein he works as a reporter / propagandist for the military newspaper.  In this position, Joker sardonically parodies the war. But, after the Tet offensive, the propaganda chief panics that newsman Walter Cronkite will go say the war is unwinnable.  At this point, the chief stops humoring Joker and sends him into combat.  

We all know how disagreement over the Vietnam War’s meaning tore up the United States.  But, we must also come to see the importance of narrative in current politics.  Black Lives Matter, foreign aid, and the resettling of refugees into the West are justified by a narrative that paints the West as having sins for which to atone.  These would all come to a halt if the publicly largely believed the West were a unique cultural gem that needed protection.

Famously, Full Metal Jacket portrays raw indoctrination in boot camp.  The opening shot shows the recruits getting their heads shaved: their old self is to die, so that they might be reborn.  The drill instructor then proceeds to call them ‘gay,’ ‘ladies,’ and ‘fat bodies,’ while mercilessly running them through drills and routines. This continues until the recruit called ‘fat body’ kills the drill instructor and himself. 

The brutality of the suicide / killing scene makes us recoil at the indoctrination and, by implication, military culture.  But, Full Metal Jacket is just a story.  The narrative argues for implementing a sensitive / coed military culture.  The same narrative currently dominates our schools: We cannot call our students ‘fat bodies.’  But, rather than just blindly absorb the film’s narrative about the horrors of military culture, we must question it. 

Perhaps, gender-segregated schools with public displays of patriotism, corporal punishment and name-calling would make the West stronger.   If the Black Lives Matter kids had such schooling, they might be disciplined pro-West contributors to society who would never dream of shooting police. 

But, my point is not that one form of indoctrination or a particular view of the Vietnam War is appropriate. My point is that narrative has a profound outcome on the policies we have and even the policies of which we can conceive. 

Evolution has geared people to make sense of the world via stories.  Literary studies too often fails to comment on the implied morals and values of stories; it fails to recognize that our high school literature books and the assumptions of the arts have a huge political impact.

Culturist literary critics know that, if we are to save the West, we must – as Full Metal Jacket displays – utilize our Darwinian need for public narrative.  Furthermore, we must be wary of stories that limit the mechanisms we will consider using to inculcate our glorious western narrative.

Small Vacation, Audrey Russo and Jack Buckby

Culturist Readers,

I just finished a great radio interview with Jack Buckby and Audrey Russo.  It will be available in this space soon.

---      ----     ---

Here are Six Basic Elements of American Multiculturalism (that impinge on elitism) from William Henry's 'In Defense of Elitism.' 

One - The idea that “fair” competition would result in demographically proportional sharing of society’s rewards.  And that any inequality therefore indicates racism.  

Two - The notion of equivalency of cultures.

Three -  Rejection of European heritage (responsible for most advances).

Four - Not believing the need for linguistic standardization (Spanish and black English).

Five - The idea that drugs and gang crime are reasonable responses to a bad situation.

Six - Doing well in school is acting white.

--    ---   ---  

All this to say, sorry that my vacation has limited my article writing as of late. Please enjoy my previous posts.  And, don't worry, the article deluge start again soon!

In the meantime,

Spread the words 'culturism' and 'culturist.'

Blessings to you, the West and our cause,

John Press

Culturist Policy Article # 8 –Culturist Rights and Human Rights

Culturism (cǔl-chər-ǐz-əm) n. The philosophy, art, and science that values, promotes and protects majority cultures.

Culturist (cǔl-chər-ǐst) n. 1. An advocate of culturism. 2. One who engages in the arts or sciences of managing and protecting majority cultures. 3. Adj. Of or pertaining to culturism, culturists or culturist policy.

--   --    -    --    --    --    --    -

Culturist rights and human rights

Rights are not metaphysical; They come from societies that believe in them and can afford them.  China does not believe in the right to vote.  Africa believes every child has a right to an education, but cannot afford it. 

So called ‘human rights’ are really ‘western rights.’ 

Calling them ‘western rights,’ makes us proud, clarifies why we fight, and reminds us that if the West falls, so-called ‘human rights’ will cease to exist.  Who else will uphold them?

Culturist policy and boat people

Muslim nations don’t take in Christian refugees.  China takes no Muslim refugees.  The West also has culturist rights.

The best way to stop the growing tide of refugees is a zero-tolerance policy.  Not a single boat refugee should step foot on western soil.  They must be preemptively steered to a ‘Muslim world’ member nation.

The term ‘Human rights’ is occasionally a useful propaganda tool for, say, pressuring Iran to change.  But, more often it is used to undermine our sovereignty.  As other regions, the West has culturist rights; we must protect ourselves.

Rather than a ‘global community,’ culturists understand the world is made of competing cultural regions. The Islamic world and China seek to dominate the West.

‘Western rights,’ not ‘human rights,’ must guide our refugee policy.

Culturist Jihad

We should not allow foreign nations to fund ‘Middle Eastern Studies’ programs on our university campuses.  This is enemy indoctrination; it bends students towards sympathy with terrorists, and even a willingness to engage in terrorist acts.

New York City’s 9/11 memorial was build with guidance from ‘Middle Eastern scholars.”[i]   That is why the word “Jihad” does not appear in the memorial.  Our 1400-year defense against Islamic aggression is also not mentioned.

Our memorials must be pro-Western and written by proud western culturists.

Islamic nations are building mosques all across the Western world.  If local communities wish to build mosques, our freedom of religion prohibits western governmental interference. But foreign funding of mosques is culturist jihad.

Our rights are western rights.  Our Constitutions protect our western citizens’ freedom of religion; Our constitutions do not give Saudi Arabia the right to build mosques on our land.

Our not being able to build churches in Saudi Arabia shows that ‘human rights’ do not trump ‘culturist rights.’

Culturist rights and borders

Despite the assertion that ‘no one is illegal,’ if you try crossing China’s border without a passport, you will be incarcerated. We too have a culturist right to have borders. So-called, ‘human rights’ do not nullify our culturist rights.

Western citizenship should only be given to western people.

The United States must halt immigration from Latin America.  Changing our cultural demographics is turning the United States into a linguistically split, second world nation.  Worse yet, Mexico has a history of conflict with, and resentment towards, the United States. 

The western world must wholly reject Islamic immigration.  Again, western policies should work towards that which is good for the West, not ‘humanity.’

Those in our lands illegally should be either forcefully deported or pressured to self-deport via making their finding employment or receiving government aid very difficult.

Ending third – world immigration to the West is not racist, it is culturist.  Cultural diversity is real; cultures compete.  Protecting the West is the best way to protect so-called ‘human rights.’

Global trade

One might argue that free trades’ allowing the West to borrow from China helps the West.  This is dubious.  Trade imbalances give China enormous sway over our politicians and our national security decisions.

If a true win-win trade situation can be identified, we should not fear it.  But, we should not pretend that long-term regional culturist strategic competition does not exist.  We should not sell our ports or mineral rights to foreign nations.

Culturists naturally suspect all organizations and systems that work for ‘humanity.’ 

We must denounce ‘western’ politicians that make trade deals to help ‘the world,’ ‘the global community,’ or ‘humanity’ rather than to benefit the West and its member nations.

Culturist Policy Article # 7 –Culturist Rights and Individual Rights

Culturism (cǔl-chər-ǐz-əm) n. The philosophy, art, and science that values, promotes and protects majority cultures.

Culturist (cǔl-chər-ǐst) n. 1. An advocate of culturism. 2. One who engages in the arts or sciences of managing and protecting majority cultures. 3. Adj. Of or pertaining to culturism, culturists or culturist policy.

--   --    -    --    --    --    --    -

Culturist Rights and Welfare

People whose actions are blatantly irresponsible should lose their welfare benefits.

You have an individual right to make babies with several men; society has a right to not subsidize such irresponsibility.

To those who worry about the children; indiscriminately subsidizing single-parenthood has undermined the African – American family and, ultimately, hurts the poor.

Western governments must stop all subsidies to polygamous families. This practice is anti-western.  Those who engage in such arrangements should be imprisoned.

Fault Free Divorce Laws Should be Reconsidered

Divorce laws should aim at strengthening families.  On the whole, single-parent homes are much worse for children.  Children’s rights contextualize parent’s rights.

Gay Marriage Rights

Individual rights do not automatically trump society’s culturist rights.  Society’s morals, traditions, and marriage rates must have standing. 

While culturists of good will may disagree over gay marriage, none would enter this discussion without considering the potential impact on the health of our culture.

Culturist Rights and Schools

Pregnant teenagers should be excluded from mainstream public secondary schools.  This will teach that actions have consequences.  In the long run, this will reduce teen pregnancy.

Other grievous violations of morals and criminal behavior should also be grounds for expulsion.  Using individual rights to protect anti – social behaviors undermines schools’ culturist mission.

Visibly tattooed teenage students should not be employed in public schools.  Employing them conveys a tacit approval. 

Teaching morality is important to the solvency, and first-world status, of the West.  School policy can and must consider morality.

Culturist Rights and Media

Public airwaves should once again provide a pro-social, non-pornographic space for families. 

Ask absolutists, who denounce all censorship, if they would back sex tapes and snuff films being played on public airwaves at all times of day.  The answer is ‘No.’  

The question is not if we should still have public guidelines, but ‘What kind?’ and ‘How much?’

In the age of the internet having public decency laws does not stop people from accessing any type of information they seek. 

Public censorship creates a safe place for families and sends the message that our society celebrates morals and discourages immorality.

Culturist Rights and Zoning Laws

Strip clubs should be pushed to the periphery of cities. 

Ask absolutists if they would allow strip clubs across the street from children’s schools.  The answer is, ‘No.’ 

So the issue is not if we should have zoning laws, but their content.

Men will still be able to access strip.  But, their partial exile will implicitly convey society’s shaming of such behavior.

Culturist Law and Individual Rights

Culturists flatly reject the individual rights argument that society has no right to judge behaviors. 

Western law-makers have traditionally considered morals in policy making. Western culture, values and solvency have traditionally been our policy guides.

Since only the West promotes individual rights, policy’s taking western solvency into account ultimately strengthens individual rights. 

Individual rights are too often used as a defense of overtly anti-social and destructive activities.  Along side individual rights, culturist rights must once again have legal standing.

Culturist Policy Article # 6 - Culturist Education Policy

Culturism (cǔl-chər-ǐz-əm) n. The philosophy, art, and science that values, promotes and protects majority cultures.

Culturist (cǔl-chər-ǐst) n. 1. An advocate of culturism. 2. One who engages in the arts or sciences of managing and protecting majority cultures. 3. Adj. Of or pertaining to culturism, culturists or culturist policy.

---     --    --    --    --    --   -- 

Culturist Education Defined

Culturist education is traditional education.  It tells students that the West is the best.  As such, it aims to unify the West via instilling pride.  

Multicultural education teaches an anti-western narrative. As such it seeks to instill anger at the West and foments division.

Multiculturalism and ‘Social Justice’

Multiculturalism is worse than it sounds.  It does not only seek to celebrate cultures.  It includes a nefarious Marxist ‘social justice’ agenda. 

The term “social justice” implies that an injustice has occurred against social groups.  In short, multiculturalism promotes the idea that whites and the West been unjust to ‘people of color.’

Multiculturalism thereby pushes an entire anti-Western narrative wherein it is noble to resent and struggle against western nations.    

Culturist Achievement Gaps

When multiculturalists see educational and economic achievement gaps, they immediately announce that it proves western nations are racist.  They use it to further their anti-western narrative.

Culturists take cultural diversity seriously.  Culturists know that achievement gaps show that some cultures value education more than others.  Rather than showing that the West is racist, achievement gaps show that cultural diversity is real.

Culturist educators would ask ethnic groups to use their shortcomings to reflect on the cost of their values and behaviors.

Multiculturalism and Cultural Relativity

Multiculturalism is subtly destructive by announcing that all cultures are equally worthy of praise. Its celebrating all cultures implies that western culture has no particular merit. 

Via Socrates and Jesus, the West invented valuing the individual.  This history allowed the West to invent democracy and free inquiry.  Western culture’s resulting social structures and technology have built the entire modern world.

Mexico has invented nothing. Islam suppresses free speech.  Multiculturalisms’ refusal to make cultural judgment undermines pride in the West.

Culturism and History
Shakespeare is a British historical hero.  Christianity is the West’s traditional majority religion. Opera is a traditional western art form.  We have our own legal tradition based on western values.  Islam is the West’s traditional enemy. 

History upholds the culturist supposition that the West and its constituent nations have traditional majority cultures.  Multiculturalists assertion that the West has always been made up of random international cultures can only be upheld by falsifying history.

Culturism, Education and Morals

Culturist education provides students the goal of perpetuating the western world and western nations.  As such, culturist education provides a moral system.  If you fail in school, you are letting down our heroic western ancestors as well as future generations.

When educators stress education’s impact on individual students’ employment future, they imply that studying only impacts their lives.  This leaves students disconnected and with scant moral guidance.  Perpetuating the nation our heroes bequeathed to us is a duty.

Culturist Education and Assimilation

When multiculturalists have us celebrate ‘Filipino Pride’ week (and such), they permanently divide us.  Thus they deny the possibility of assimilation. As such, multiculturalists are racists. 

The inherent dangers of racist division are the reason that no non-western region of the world works towards diversity or has adopted multicultural education.

Public Culturist Education

Education does not stop at the schoolhouse gate. Culturist education includes public events wherein the west and its holidays are celebrated.  It includes having national flags flown high and anthems sung at public events. 

For the reasons mentioned above, our governments should neither recognize Muslim holidays nor fund festivals celebrating non-western cultures.

Stopping Islamic immigration will also teach the public that the West has a culture, it is endangered, and that we have a duty to act in ways that support its survival.

Culturist Education and Psychology

Humans are social animals; It feels good to belong. When we teach that the West is great, students will feel group pride. When we fail to provide group pride, gangs and foreign religions fill the void.

Multiculturalists seek to instill pride by having students strike a blow against the West in the name of ‘social justice.’  This multicultural narrative, when combined with the natural need for group pride, facilitates ISIS’s recruitment in the West. 

Group pride happens naturally; Public schools are modern societies’ way of guiding this process.  Like all other civilizations, if the West is to survive, we need our schools to be culturist.

Culturist Policy Article # 5 - Culturist Profiling

Culturism (cǔl-chər-ǐz-əm) n. The philosophy, art, and science that values, promotes and protects majority cultures.

Culturist (cǔl-chər-ǐst) n. 1. An advocate of culturism. 2. One who engages in the arts or sciences of managing and protecting majority cultures. 3. Adj. Of or pertaining to culturism, culturists or culturist policy.

--   --    -    --    --    --    --    -

What we call ‘racial profiling’ is usually ‘culturist profiling.’  The word ‘racist’ prevents us from implement policies that could literally save our lives.  Racism is problematic.  But statistics show cultural diversity is real.  To safeguard ourselves, we must implement ‘culturist profiling policies.’

---     --    --    --    --    --   -- 

Culturist profiling the airport:

Nothing better illustrates the disaster of confusing racial and culturist profiling than airport security.  To avoid ‘racism,’ we thoroughly screen all people boarding airplanes and randomly choose whom to give extra scrutiny.  This lengthens our lines and endangers our lives.

Racism is a very poor indicator of terrorist tendencies.  Mexicans and Middle Easterners are both brown.  I am only aware of one Latino terrorist, Edwin Padilla.  And, he did not terrorize in the name of Brown people; He did so in the name of Islam.  Skin tone, again, is a poor predictor of terrorist tendencies.

Being Muslim, male, named Muhammad and traveling back and forth from a Muslim nation are excellent predictors of a terrorism risk. There have been over 25,000 terrorist acts carried out by Muslims since 9/11. People that fit this culturist profile must have extra scrutiny every time they fly.  This is not irrational racism, it is rational culturism.

Ironically, multiculturalists would literally rather you die in a fiery terrorist act than admit that cultural diversity is real.  They consider all assertions that cultural diversity exists the height of irrationality and pure racism.  We cannot be cowed.  Rational culturist profiling at airports is a matter of life and death.

Culturist profiling in employment:

Muslims should not be hired as baggage handlers at airports, work in nuclear power plants or hold government positions related to national security.  Why not?  See the discussion above.

Limits to culturist profiling:

Honest Muslims will understand the rationale behind receiving extra scrutiny at airports.  They will understand why their being employed at nuclear power plants poses a threat to their safety and to the Western public at large. Culturism aims to unify our population. Irrational, unreasonable scrutiny will create resentment and alienation.

If a Muslim works in an innocuous place, say a software company, bank or shoe store, if they do not attend services at a radical mosque, their privacy should be respected.  Such a policy will save our resources and will not generate ill feelings.

Profiling at Mosques:

Mosques should be monitored for radical teaching, because many Muslim clerics strongly condone terrorism and other anti-western practices. If the speakers are radical, we should consider repatriation proceedings.  Shy of that, members’ continued attendance or financial support merits scrutiny.  People who attend mosques wherein no radical doctrines are preached, should not be scrutinized.

Culturist profiling of blacks:

Racial profiling got its bad name from the profiling of black Americans. But the police are, largely, not racists, they are culturists.   They know that many black Americans embrace the criminal ‘thug life’ culture. As such, they commit a disproportionate amount of the crime in America.  Disproportionate stopping of blacks, is not proof of irrational racism in America, it is proof that cultural diversity exists.

Culturism is scientific.  If at some future date, the black crime rate drops to that of Asians or whites, profiling of black youth should stop.  If Muslims stop committing acts of terrorism for 5 – 10 years, they should no longer be profiled at airports.  And, if there is a rash of elder Asian women committing crimes, they should be profiled.   Culturist profiling should be based on statistics, not stereotypes. 

The term ‘racial profiling’ creates resentment and compromises our safety.  In case above, it compromises black peoples’ safety more than anyone else.  Whereas the term ‘racial profiling’ creates resentment in blacks and shame in the majority white culture; the term ‘culturist profiling’ should give the black community pause to evaluate their cultural practices. 

Action plan:

When we call disproportionate arrests of black people ‘racist,’ when we call extra scrutiny of Muslims at airports ‘racist,’ we deny that cultural diversity is real. Worse yet, we put our lives at risk.  All sane people, (even multiculturalists), shown statistics, can admit that cultural diversity is real.  Our security policies must take such diversity into account.

The first step in getting such sane culturist policies in place is to change our language.  We should not speak of ‘racial profiling,’ we must speak of ‘culturist profiling.’  We are not talking about irrational racism, we are advocating statistic-based rational culturism.
