In response to the recent brouhaha on the southern border, there have emerged two prevailing tendencies among the dissident sphere. The first was rapturous joy, the excitement of things “happening”, with the promise of more radical change or conflict to come. The second response was more cynical. “Nothing ever happens” is how these figures are portrayed by their enemies, but it might be closer to depict them as St. Thomas instead, insisting on sticking their fingers in the happening before believing in it.
The border between these two reactions, much like the southern border of the United States, is porous and people will drift between one and the other, not unlike the ping-ponging one sees between “it’s over” and “we’re back”. This is not meant to be a broadside fired at either of these camps of observers, but I’d like to pierce the idea that mainline conservative governors like Texas’ Greg Abbott can never advance a radical change through their action.
Looking to history, one can see ample parallels between the current situation in the United States and that of the antebellum period, and one salient fact is that the leadership of the Confederate States of America were not radical men. By temperament they were conservatives, with many of them serving as loyal cabinet officials and military officers, with some of them even being Whigs instead of Democrats. For all the ink that has been spilled vilifying men like Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, the truth is that they were soft on the question of secession compared to the South Carolinian “fire-eaters”.
By the time of Abraham Lincoln’s election to the presidency, the fire-eaters were largely a spent force in Southern politics. Their efforts at nurturing a secession crisis in South Carolina had failed in 1830, and during the build up to the Compromise of 1850. It is likely that many of the men like Robert Louis Dabney who were staunch advocates of Southern Nationalism felt the same pangs of “nothing ever happens” that we see today, and who could blame them? Power in the south was in the hands of Washington insiders like Senator Jefferson Davis and Vice President John Breckinridge. Those same men became guiding lights of the United States government turned into ardent supporters of secession and Southern independence when conflict broke out. John C. Breckinridge, himself the nominee of the Constitutional Union party, joined the Confederate Army after hostilities began and served as Davis’s Secretary of War, despite his party’s platform consisting solely of preserving the union of states.
What made men like these, temperamentally cautious and risk-averse, become the standard bearers of an independence movement which demanded sacrifice after sacrifice of blood and treasure before being ground down by waves of enlisted German and Irish immigrants?
Jefferson Davis certainly did not consider himself a revolutionary. He and many other leaders of the Confederacy tied their cause to the language of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and accused their opponents of being the radicals, indeed as Lincoln’s Republican Party was painting Democrats as retrograde conservatives.
In a similar way, today’s Republicans oppose President Biden’s failure to control the border not to advance the revolutionary goal of building a White ethnostate, but from the conservative mindset of wishing the existing laws of the United States would be enforced. Men like Texas’ Governor Greg Abbott and the governors who have lent him rhetorical and material support would be the first to denounce the advancement of White interests, and indeed they have done so in the past.
But that does not mean that they cannot be useful for Amerikaners.
The outcome of the challenge between federal and state power last week did not end in bloodshed as the most wild-eyed observers hoped, but because it did not kick off a second War Between the States does not mean that it did not advance the interests of Heritage Americans. The strength of the federal government to impose its will on the states has been weakened. The independence of national guard units and governors from central control have been strengthened. And the legitimacy of the current administration has weakened, both among its opponents who can smell its weakness, and among its supporters who were cheering for the President to reenact a “Second Reconstruction” on their political enemies.
Above all, the battle lines between the two tribes of Whites inhabiting the country have sharpened.
Conservative men can be of use in advancing revolutionary goals, but they need to be cajoled, convinced, and, yes, bullied, into doing so by the true believers. Without the fire-eaters, there would have been no Southern independence, but that same independence was also marked by the strength and prestige of converts to the cause who followed the true believers. This was not the first shot in the battle for the future of Amerikaners, nor will it be the last.
Remember that nothing ever happens, until everything happens all at once.

Who are those “two tribes of Whites” supposed to be? The American political Two Party System of “Democrats” vs “Republicans” ? The two groups of “voter”Above all, the battle lines between the two tribes of Whites inhabiting the country have sharpened” (Grant Norman)
Who are those “two tribes of Whites” supposed to be? The American political Two Party System of “Democrats” vs “Republicans” ? The two groups of “vos”? Hardly the definition of what “tribes” are…
I would rather identify such kind of talk as divisive propaganda serving and benefitting only one party – as usual not mentioned at all (sic!): the Jews in power. The elephant in the room. The Biden Administration is all Jews (US-Israhellish dual citizens). The “goy” Biden is no more than a firgurehead.
UNITY IS STRENGTH. And Jews are all about destroying WHITE RACIAL IDENTITY, UNITY & STRENGTH by causing division, strife, conflict, civil wars – world wars – brothers/cousins killing & destroying each other… Divisive, subversive Jews want to have war, all hell breaking loose – to take advantage of the chaos, always pushing their agendas further to the next level… “Ordo Ab Chao” is their motto on the one-dollar “Federal Reserve” note (1913 “Federal Reserve Act” – Jewish takeover of the US)
There are but only two parties: Jews wielding power & influence in all spheres of life, corrupt traitors crawling at their feet vs true patriots/nationalists in defence of white sovereignty – The true battle line runs between these groups …
JEWISH SUPREMACY – JEWISH MINORITY RULE over the white nations – Jewish Communist tyranny over the whole world … Total enslavement of humanity is in total violation of the natural order.
(sorry – some technical glitch happened in the comment above)
#”battle for the future of Amerikaners/Americans” – There is a battle for the future going on?
The battle line is between “Conservatives and Fire-Eaters”? – meaning: Conservatives/Republicans/Unionists vs Democrats/”Fire-Eaters”/Secessionists? – Seems unreasonable to me. Good luck with that.
“No problem at all” with Jews? “Best friends and allies”? Practically all spheres of life (Money – Media – Teaching – Politics – Government – Military – Law – Police – Medicine – Religion) have been infested, subverted, taken over, are firmly under JEWISH (MIND) CONTROL. But Amerikaners/Americans self-censor, and generally do not mention the factual reality of JEWISH POWER over their lives. And the US-military keeps fighting the wrong wars, the wrong enemies. They keep invading nations which have never been a threat to the United States, destroy countries, permanently occupy them, and take away the freedoms and national sovereignty of so many who have done nothing to Amerikaners/Americans…
US-JEWISH WAR MADNESS is being forced upon the European nations and the Middle East, forced upon NATO under US-JEWISH SUPREME COMMAND!
The EU was created by a secretive Cabal, US-Jews on top – to systematically destroy the sovereignty of the European nations, and abolish the white Christian nations themselves.
The EU-nations have nothing to do with the US-ISRAHELLISH WARS! European public opinion is against the Russian-Ukrainian war and the US-Israhellish war on the Palestinians in Gaza!
BOTH WARS WERE CAUSED BY US-ISRAHELLISH JEWS ! Everyone using one’s brain knows that.
US-British “intelligence” likes talking about a “US-NATO war against Russia” when reporting on Ukraine – staunchly ignoring the fact that there is no “unified West against Russia”! Public opinion in Europe is not in support of war! Not against Russia! Not against the Palestinians or anyone else! Such “unity in war madness” exists only in the imagination, the wishful thinking of US-British-Israhellish war mongers (“intelligence services”). They keep propagandizing for war! Against Russia, now against the Huthis (Yemen)! And the Europeans are being dragged in… “German marines for protection” – Oh yeah – making them the target and the scapegoat – instead of American war ships (which have no business there either). It is wicked, evil beyond words.
SHITTY WARS most Europeans/Germans firmly oppose! AN END TO THE WARS is not a talking point for Amerikaners/Americans ? They are not aware of the true battle line – and could not care less?
There is something about Americans which I cannot understand at all.
No explanation given.
You’re misunderstanding. The argument is not that Fire-Eaters are Democrats or Liberals. The argument is that “Fire-Eaters” are the more “Extreme” Right-Wingers – Nationalists. And that they must cajole the more “mainstream” conservatives. Like the National Socialists dealing with the Junker class.
indeed – Thank you Gordon for pointing that out.
The argument is an inner battle among the Nationalists – I see. – But the questions are not less…
Who is the “common enemy”? The “federal” government in Washington DC? A “secession”/separation/stronger sovereignty of the states from BIG GOVERNMENT (Communist – Totalitarian) would be a good idea, a secession among the states weakens everyone (imho)
What is seen as the common Nationalist cause? Is there a clear definition?
“Make America GREAT AGAIN” (Trump)? – What does that mean? What period(s) in America’s history is(are) seen as great? And why? What kind of greatness?
The imagination is running free, and the opinions on what is meant by “great again” might differ a lot. No clarity in the common goal?
Trump’s slogan seems to me as unclear as Obama’s: “CHANGE you can believe in” –
What did the American patriots/Nationalists (of all colors and races) actually get? Under Obama: A “nation unified and strong” through “racial tolerance and diversity” ? Peace? –
No. A nation deceived in so many ways – and ever more racially divided. – Homo-transgender Michael, a “New World Order” Baphomet chimera as “First Lady Michelle”, the “First family”, a CIA psyop…
Obama (Demonrat) or Trump (Republican): All the same – all HOPES betrayed. – Ghaddafi’s hopes got betrayed by the Obama Administration in the cruellest way imaginable.
The world’s hopes for peace betrayed. You see – the world wants peace! Not the “peace” of a global wasteland, a graveyard…
The US is very much feared… as the worst threat to real peace! Actively provoking WW3… dragging everyone in… into wars not wanted by anybody! Only wanted by the WAR PROFITEERS, “the CABAL” whispered about, taken out of the debate (fake), as if not part of the equation, in total denial of reality.
Gordon, if I may ask – what are your thoughts on that? – No discussion on such questions possible here?
Amerikaners/Americans prefer staying silent. Self-censoring for FEAR OF THE JEWS.
I would say that you’re correct. Americans have not had their own interests reflected by our government at least for the last century, if not longer. I do think there’s an undercurrent of feeling that is growing. You talk about the United States trying to start WWIII, but to be honest, I don’t think the feds have the balls or the ability. I firmly believe these creatures will be cast down from power sooner rather than later, likely because of their own ineptitude.
More like slithering into it, on a slippery slope, an escalation “by accident” – As always blaming others, of course! Nothing seems to be accidental. All pre-planned.
