“Walt Bismarck,” a neoreactionary/alt-right blogger, decided to live by his beliefs and move from the liberal hellhole of Arizona to the midwest:
In 2018 I moved from a racially diverse swing state in the Sun Belt to a homogenous red state up in corn country. This decision was largely motivated by politics—I was looking to retreat to an imagined hyperborea free of crime and degeneracy where my volk had political autonomy.
The particular delight here is the section “Reason #3 - White people are no longer my most important ingroup”.
It turns out they don’t like him, they don’t like his ideas, and the white womenfolk don’t take to him. The frauleins prefer “stoic chudbots with rough hands and smooth brains” over his noble mind and physique.
In practice a society that encourages late marriage is actually much better for more bookish eccentric guys, who tend to be late bloomers in developing their masculinity and ability to seduce women.
(meaning: he came on weird at one of the nice church girls he was ogling to the point where one of her large guy friends suggested he take his leave.)
Our guy comes so close to introspection, but successfully evades it and reaches the root cause - these are the wrong kind of white people:
But these Midwesterners aren’t descended from entrepreneurial adventurers like the rest of us. Their forebears were conflict averse and probably low testosterone German Catholics who fled Bismarck’s kulturkampf to acquire cheap land under the Homestead Act. These people mostly settled areas where aggro Scotch Irish types had driven off the Injun decades ago, so they never had to embrace the risk-tolerant, enterprising, itinerant mindset that had once fueled Manifest Destiny. Instead they produced families that became weirdly attached to their generic little plot of fungible prairie dirt, and as a result we now have huge pockets of the country full of overcivilized and effete Teutons with no conquering spirit who treat outsiders like shit.
There is no shortage of genuine and active neo-Nazis out Iowa way. But they would have met Wordy NRx Boy here and flushed his head.
In the comments section, other racists call him out on his insufficient devotion to the cause of white nationalism.
Even our good friends at The Motte took the piss out of him.
The illustrations are, of course, AI-generated.
original post. Found on Bluesky by ratelimitexceeder.
I love it there’s a comment attacking him for not wanting to preserve the white race. "The fuck’s the matter with you?
I can understand if you’re a mestizo groyper who just wants to do what’s right and to live in a generically-good society, but if you’re a white man of competence, you have a duty to do what you can ensure the long-term survival of your heritage.
Of children born to at least one white parent, only 80% are racially pure"
The follow-up destroyed me
How many kids have you fathered for the cause, Charles?
The
neo-nazisgroypersreactionariesCaucasian enjoyers have reached peak levels of eating each otheralways heartwarming when you see how nazis hate each other as much as they hate the rest of us
there’s an I Don’t Speak German where Daniel talks about some Nazi streamer who is outraged that the Left have this magic hack of being nice and helpful to each other and it’s totally unfair
Also amazed me re protests, far right prepping for protests: ‘we should train how to march or hold a shield wall’. Far left: ‘here is a guide on how to deal with common injuries, we should have people as medics, and provide some snacks, drinks, and guidance for people on what to do when they get kettled/arrested’.
TL;DR: “I’m no longer a white nationalist because a lot of white people are cucked. Now my new identity is with sufficiently pilled white people. This is much more pragmatic. Also I would totally have a cool black friend if any actually existed which means I’m totally not racist.”
Also: did anyone else feel a chill reading about a literal nazi talking about how society accepts him now? America used to despise nazis and now they feel like they can walk around openly. It’s terrifying.
I reacted to that too, “no need to be an overt WN now that society accepts us!” but I think that’s partly bravado.
For example, he loves Twitter now but Elon still hasn’t given his account back…
Yes, that stuck with me very much. It’s one thing to hear fellow leftists talk about how Trump shifted the Overton window. It’s a whole different thing to hear that a Nazi fully feels the effects of it having truly shifted.
So this guy had to regress back to before non-english types got their white card, got it 😂
Scraping for racism.
These people’s obsession with “bloodlines” is astounding. The world isn’t fucking Naruto
You guys notice how he capitalizes “white” but not “black” even when they’re used in the same sentence? A pathetic little weirdo to the last little detail.
also capitalizes a couple other racial group references when the mood strikes, all “tactically” used/chosen
the amount of effort you have to expend just to hate that specifically… fucking mental
i’m shocked that regular midwest socially conservative normal people didn’t flock to him
can’t just rush in with that kind of newfangled highfallutin’ racism, amirite?! /s
and feel there are a number of nonracial issues that have since become much more important than the things WNs fixate on
like staying out of jail? and making profit off loons? at least, I’m guessing those are the priorities
Cheezus! That’s like a lot of discussion and commentary about a random fascist chud, over at the Motte, innit?
Yeah dude i was looking for schadenfruede but all i got was a masturbatory tirade about how this guy isn’t calling himself a white nationalist anymore because republicans are basically racist enough for him now and don’t have the skinheaded baggage of his former friends. I honestly hope he dies on the toilet.
and - a key point - his prospective tradwaifus don’t want him
But only because he’s not a "smooth brained chud " like their boyfriends and has totally slept with over a 100 women ::eye roll::
That bit was so much secondhand cringe. Imagine being a 30 year old who thinks he’s posting from the master race and then suddenly you slip back into an /r/braincels rant.
I do hope everybody here is aware of the deeper TheMotte lore, and what kind of place it is.
E: also themotte mentions the ‘alt light’ (not by name) but I heard a rumor that apparently a lot of these yt alt light people were paid by shady people to make rightwing content. The YT’er (sorry if you know any of those) chrisraygun apparently revealed it, but I have not looked into it at all.
I do hope everybody here is aware of the deeper TheMotte lore, and what kind of place it is.
No clue whatsoever, but I got the impression from the way they were talking about this guy, that they are basically sophisticated fascists and reactionaries.
it’s an offshoot from the r/slatestarcodex subreddit and scott alexander has directly recommended it to slatestarcodex readers
it’s wordy Nazis debating things
That context means almost nothing to me. I’m not familiar with those actors either. But I can understand “wordy nazis” at least 😅
Scott Alexander Siskind, his blog SlateStarCodex and now AstralCodexTen are a pack of lesswrong rationalists and deeply on-topic for sneerclub, sadly, so you probably willl in future
Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time to fill me in
This reminds me of a report from the Nazi ambassador to Iceland sometime in the late 1930s. He was posted there, expecting to find a model Aryan utopia, as could only be inevitable from a population of pure Nordic blood, but was bitterly disappointed to find a provincial backwater whose people were happy to stay put and get on with their lives. The schadenfreude was palpable.
More recently there was a family from Canada who moved to Russia because Canada was too “woke” only to find that Russia wasn’t the woke free paradise they expected.
An undertone in Dutch weird right wing twitter is a desire to move to Russia/(sometimes Viktor Orbáns Hungary) because at least there they still have freedoms and rights. And they accuse the left of living in a filter bubble.
According to Wonkette, they’re now in danger of deportation because they don’t know any Russian, and don’t seem interested in learning it
https://www.wonkette.com/p/canadian-idiots-who-fled-to-russia
I’d watch this livestream
Dude sold his farm and moved his entire family (wife+8 fucking kids!) on a fucking whim. I feel bad for the kids and hope none of them grow up to be as stupid as their dad.
Sask strong!
I bet they started blaming Russia’s communist past for all its current “wokeness”
I just read an account of the Nazi occupation of Norway in WW2 and it was a bit like that. The local Nazis (the OG Quisling!) were widely hated, there was passive resistance at every turn, and very few Norwegians were interested in some sort of “racial bond” with Germany.
online or deadtree? either way I’d be interested in reading that
Deadtree and in Swedish: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52641078-under-st-veln-norge-1940-1945
This was worse than I imagined from the quotes. I feel like I need to take a shower, now.
[…] which would severely limit the Federal Reserve’s ability to control the economy while exporting inflation abroad, and likely bring our material standard of living down to a German or Dutch level
According to this Quality of Life index which I just searched up and have not critically assessed, but I doubt the guy did that either for his claims, so I guess it’s fine, the Netherlands rank second and Germany ranks 12th, while the US is on the 15th place. In other words: what is he even talking about?
Every day in this country more and more Hispanics marry corn-fed blonde midwesterners and produce pale Castizo children who only speak English, consider themselves basically White, and vote like Irish and Italians.
Jesus fucking Christ, I can’t even come up with a funny sneer here because this reads like he just pulled it out of the 1940s Nazi Party’s bag of race laws for who’s allowed to marry whom, and it’s making me feel icky.
I also subscribe to the old fascist idea that adversity gives life meaning. A comfortable and easy life without struggle or conflict is miserable, and just makes you a slave to the hedonic treadmill. When you live for pleasure, no pleasure is ever enough, and continued success will just leave you so pampered that any task that’s challenging or outside your comfort zone will begin to feel onerous.
Ignoring the low-hanging fruit that this guy just flat-out said “well, fascism wasn’t all bad”, what kind of toxic consumer mentality is ingrained in these chucklefucks that they are seemingly unable so sit their sorry asses down on the couch and just say, yeah, I’m happy right now, to the point where they just postulate that other people must feel the same way, because they just can’t imagine anyone being different?
Like, seriously, get a hobby or something.
Seems like he gets his pleasure from ‘conflict’, ie being a troll, and is upset that all the other white boys aren’t just like him. Maybe he finds being content too onerous. Tie him to a couch and force him to listen to a polite discussion, call it a challenge.
Dutch level
Yeah The Netherlands sucks a lot of if you only listen to the racist right. (A similar thing would happen if you were to listen to the poor Dutch minorities/disabled people/immigrants etc and took that as the whole of the Dutch experience (which is to say we still have room for improvement, and some people have it a lot better than others)).
I will gladly take the bullet and live on the hedonic treadmill. Seriously how spoiled is someone who is living without struggle or conflict. Granted it could be worse but there are always challenges in life.
this retard needed to move to Iowa to find a struggle apparently, so i’d say pretty spoiled
haha yeah enough of you
this thread truly has brought out some curious contestants
a curious game. the only way to win is to not flood a thread calling out a white supremacist with slurs, nazi shit, and covid misinformation
WOPR catches fire and the 37-year-old chan poster puppeteering it from the inside runs out screaming
Yeah, the joke is that he just assumes living a comfortable life without struggle equals falling down the consoomer rabbit hole and blowing your dopamine stores on watching porn the whole day or something, and not that you could use it for any number of fulfilling activities.
I’d take the boring, comfy life any time, and when I want something challenging to do, I pick learning to play the violin over going out and starting a race war, thank you very much.
exactly. I never understood folks who had trouble with retirement to. I can garden, or read, or walk, or volunteer, or just an infinite number of things.
Just remind yourself that there was a literal global pandemic not that long ago and being mildly inconvenienced by wearing a simple mask caused these people to lose their fucking minds as though every single one of their freedoms was being stripped away.
Yeah if anything condemns humanity, it’s the way these assholes reacted to the simple requirement to wear a mask to keep from infecting others. Their total unwillingness to act in a responsible and mindful way, pretty much says all there is to about he basic evil nature of mankind and how most people aren’t worth a pile of dog excrement - none of them will be or could ever be redeemed.
It certainly gave me a clear indication of how well significant measures against climate change will be tolerated. ie, not at all.
Well I live in Utah where the legislature is actively committed to forbidding measures that will mitigate climate change, such as passing laws that allow oil and gas companies to ignore any guidelines about emissions and to promote more pollution as much as possible.
Masks don’t work. N95s do, sure. Everyone was running around with a fucking rag on their face pretending solidarity in delusion would stop the virus and that’s fucking Starship Troopers level silly. Reading your comment really drives home the reason people still debate that painfully obvious movie. You’re Johnny Rico, dude.
Well that’s true enough, most masks won’t do a whole lot to stop a virus like COVID. I agree with you there. I’m just more upset that people wouldn’t even do that small amount to help out their fellow man (and woman). They’d rather stand on some vague political ground that the government can’t tell them what to do or put in their bodies, while cramming hostess bakery products and sugar laden drinks down their throats every chance they get. : / am I Johnny Rico? Cool, dude!
That was the genius in JoJo Rabbit—showing just how absolutely pathetic and weak fascists are.
hahaha yeah they almost conquered Europe, ran Spain for 50 years…so pathetic and weak. Stupid, i’ll give you that.
always love* it when these guys get so race scientist they start on different groups of white people
This is fundamentally a part of any kind of race science or racism.
This is also what it means when the empty race is say race is a social construct.
You can’t actually define any of these races rigorously in the first place. It’s a subjective assessment.
This is fundamentally a part of any kind of race science or racism.
And fascism! Or any discriminatory -ism, up to and including capitalism.
@dgerard Whiteness is a movable feast. (Ask anyone who’s Jewish, or LGBT+, or Italian/Irish in the USA in the 19th century or Hispanic in the USA before/after the 1970s).
White or not never had anything to do with where you put your dick or tongue. Nobody ever said Irish weren’t white, they just hated Irish. Jewish yeah ok, a lot, not all, a lot weren’t white, but a lot were, it’s why “Greenspan” changed to “Alexander” works without a hitch but maybe Sarah Silverman didn’t change her name because it was bloody obvious. Italian is white, generally, I think you mean Sicilian.
His glowing reference to the “aggro Scots Irish” reminded me that the “Scots Irish” are descended from Ulster Protestants, and that it wasn’t fun being an Irish Catholic in Northern Ireland for much of the 20th century. Ian Paisley famously said that Catholics “breed like rabbits”.
Ayuuuuuuuup. Movable feast is a great term for it. Even once formerly ostracized groups get permitted into the in-group, their membership is strictly conditional on serving the interests of those closer into the center of the Whiteness construct. Stop being useful, watch how fast the old hate rears its ugly head again.
remember how Germans used to be swarthy
Do you mean the Teutons?
🤨
and the Swedish, per Benjamin Franklin
Mayhaps the Bohemians?
I suspect there are people who have complicated theories about the relative whiteness rankings, and thus superiority, of natives of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
Yes there are, or were. The OG Nazis treated Dutch POWs slightly better than French ones, for instance.
what a mystery why they treated those of a common language better.
ok fine but have you ever talked to a real Irish from the low counties? The English make fun of them for a reason.
Dude, showering is exactly what I feel like now. I clicked the post to be nice and read, but only got a couple paragraphs before I just skimmed and picked out the “JFC” bits.
Then the first comment on the blog mentions how sad it is that you lose your “genetic whiteness” in 9 generations and just…goddamn…why is this an issue? Genetic purity is a fucking impossibility due to sheer randomness, let alone the implications of “keeping it white.”
I try to be empathetic where possible, but fuck these people and their entire worldview.
Genetic purity is a fucking impossibility due to sheer randomness, let alone the implications of “keeping it white.”
you assume that he has basic knowledge of biology
I, for one, vote for these “genetic purists” to only procreate with their peers and keep the circle closed from “those dirty Italians/Irish/Scots/Teutons/Slavs”. How many generations until the problem solves itself, 5?
He’ll be judging standard of living by raw GDP/PPP per capita, where the US does indeed notoriously outperform everybody by an absurd margin. This does the rounds even on the “serious” econ net every few months, and it’s always the same paper thin sophistic ideas going back and forth arguing whether it’s telling you something meaningful about euro vs us living. In any case a good portion of self-assessed intellectual types have been drowning in that debate for about two decades (or more) so it’s always easy to spot lurking in the background: it’s a shibboleth for people who’ve self-educated on development by reading blogs.
GDP/PPP per capita aren’t higher in the US:
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gdp-per-capita-by-country
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/purchasing-power-parity-by-country
The USian economy in indeed bigger than all the others, but definitely not per capita.
“isn’t higher” than what? the GDP figures from your own link there indicate the US is among the highest. the only ones above it in the 2023 figures are Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Singapore, Qatar (each of which is singularly notable for a particular thing in their respective markets) - thus placing the US GDP figures ahead of literally every remaining country
The person I replied to said “everybody”, which you confirmed is factually incorrect.
You must be fun at parties
If you don’t want to be corrected, don’t play the “mmmh akshully” game. It’s that simple.
I present a reply guy so caustic they had to “well ackshully” the “well ackshully” meme. it gives the R&D staff here at awful.systems absolutely no pleasure to announce the discovery of the recursive reddit reply guy.
your correctness is just too powerful for us, we’ll save you from having to engage it in future
Ah, the idea that merely living in the same country as some rich people means that you yourself are rich.
In a nutshell, he ended up hating many Germans, white and almost white Hispanics, Irish, Italians, who else…? Pickiest white supremacist I’ve read in a while.
At least he’s old school racist enough to be racist towards Irish and Italians.
Most people have forgotten how oppressed those groups used to be.
When you’re white, but not the right kind.
Like, seriously, get a hobby or something.
For real. I don’t even necessarily disagree with the broad-strokes idea of “if you’re comfortable, it’s good to take on challenges and get outside of your comfort zone because that’s how you grow as a person,” but why can’t he just apply this energy to writing a terrible novel or learning to paint watercolors or something, like a normal person? Why does the fact his life is comfortable mean he has to become a Nazi? :/
Well look what happened to the last one of these who tried to paint watercolours
He should’ve stuck with it
A comfortable and easy life without struggle or conflict is miserable, and just makes you a slave to the hedonic treadmill. When you live for pleasure, no pleasure is ever enough, and continued success will just leave you so pampered that any task that’s challenging or outside your comfort zone will begin to feel onerous.
I feel like that’s absolutely true, depending on personality type maybe. It’s fun for a bit here and there.
There’s a difference in having a personality that gets easily bored of luxury and believing conflict is what inherently gives life a meaning. Maus puts it: “Suffering doesn’t make people better, it just makes them suffer”
If someone’s life is so damn easy and hedonistic they’re actually getting bored of it, there are good ways and bad ways of introducing adversity and getting out of your comfort zone. The negation of being a slave to the hedonic treadmill[1] is not an eternal war for domination.

Post reads like he tried the penis implants mentioned in the stubsack and now has regrets
Genital augmentation and the word “stubsack” in the same sentence is an awkward cocktail.
I believe you meant to write “delicious”
fond of cock as i am, i think i’ll pass by this one
I 100% really did not intend for the name to work so well with that context but am once again thankful for all the gifts it brings.
I didn’t previously know I needed this in my life but “mentioned in the stubsack” needs to become a household phrase
Truly a gift that shall keep on giving
In this article I’ll be making a distinction between what I call Hard WN and Soft WN.
In this article I will mostly be describing why I left Soft WN.
oh dawg
Is it my original ideas that are wrong? No I have just discovered a new degenerate race of humans.
I love the criticizing the Midwest for bland conformity. Like that’s more our thing than being disturbingly monoracial. Next he’s gonna bitch about the goths at Walmart and the refusal to spend money on luxury goods. That’s just what the Midwest is like
I saw @gerikson’s comments after seeing this one and had to click on the tiny thumbnail of his profile pic to make sure it wasn’t this exact Squidward face.
But that clearly is from elden ring. (When gerikson gets angry it turns red).
is ok i can be squidward too
I thought you were Patrick.
Lol he needs to get the fuck out of here
Sincerely, A far left Midwestern queer lady who grew up German Catholic
“I moved to a place to be surrounded by white people, and decided I didn’t like white people because those white people weren’t hostile enough nor did they have enough of a desire to conquer other people. This made me realize white people are weak, so now I’m disappointed in them. But actually it’s because the white people in that area came from inferior nations 🤡.”
That’s the premise of the article to save you from having to read absolute horse shit. That guy is a waste of atoms.
Basically he’s like the dudes who left Twitter for Gab or Truth Social and found it boring because there weren’t any libs to own.
He just wrote off GERMANS, as non warlike.
I would summarize as, “I learned that just being born white doesn’t make you superior to others…” yes yes yes yes “…because there are white people who suck, too.” Oh no.
It’s like asking someone what “4+4” is and then they write out this long algorithm inexplicably including division and multiplication and some functions for some reason, and at the end they come up with 9. It took you so long to get so close, but in the end you still completely fucked it up.
it’s cause those black bastard irish can’t math
Walt Bismarck was a dude who got big making racist Disney song parodies.
conflict averse and probably low testosterone German Catholics […] overcivilized and effete Teutons
Kind of off topic, but this piece of wall to wall insanity reminded me how Steven Pinker tried to explain away southern US crime rates that didn’t fit with his Violence Is Declining And In Fact Everything’s Improving Inexorably (As Long As You Don’t Rock The Boat) thesis by randomly blaming irish-catholic sheepherder genealogy.
Scotch-Irish Presbyterian cattle ranchers, IIRC.
Now hold on, I don’t want to say he’s WHOLLY wrong about my people
Damn scots ruining everything again!
White nationalists learning about the actual history of European immigration to the US and which groups came in at which times is some of the funniest shit overall. “It’s… it’s all bullshit? They just kept changing what whiteness meant every year? They still do? :O” Also, props for moving to the Midwest without needing to save money
