Always amusing to see people— sometimes neocons, sometimes liberal progressives—praise Singapore as a rich and prosperous multiethnic society.

They fail to take into account that Singapore was built and held together thanks to pure machismo and authoritarianism. Lee Kuan Yew said ‘there is no other way to rule a Chinese society’.

Speaking of a Chinese society, LKY also implemented strict policy to maintain the Chinese majority. This included slamming the door to refugees.

So according to the Singapore Simps, the key to creating a rich and prosperous country is to have a cold and calloused attitude towards ‘refugees’, intervene in immigration policy in order to ensure the majority status of a particular ethnic group, and rule with—not an iron fist but as LKY put it—a set of knuckle-dusters.

They undermine the point they think they’re making.

‘Who are you to take credit for the great achievements of white people?’ Sneers the midwit. ‘You work at a supermarket! LOL!’

Well, almost every white man of renown was raised by his white parents. He ate well and nurtured his brain and his body thanks to white farmers who toiled to provide a bountiful harvest. White warriors protected him from threats. White rubbish collectors made sure the streets of his neighbourhood were clean. White doctors treated his illnesses. White engineers built the bridge that he crossed to get to a university campus designed by white architects and built by white labourers, where white teachers and white mentors educated him.

His white friends had his back. His white wife turned his house into a home, supported him and loved him.

Every great white man is a unique and individual genius and hero, but he would have amounted to nothing without the white community in which he lived.

Therefore, even the humble white supermarket employee of today is well within his rights to proudly say: we conquered continents, we wrote the greatest works of literature, we built the most beautiful buildings, we created the most magnificent works of art, we composed the masterpieces of music, we invented the medicines that eradicated diseases.

As a father is proud of his child’s achievements and a child adores his father for his achievements, so too we treat our forebears and share in their greatness.

Agree with this take from Nathan Cofnas:

Wokism is caused by the belief in equality between races combined with a Christian/universal moral background.

If you see disparities between races, and you don't believe in natural racial differences, it's rational to think these disparities are caused by racism and try to correct them.

That's the key to why conservatives can't push back against wokism - they agree with its premises. They either refuse to explain why major disparities exist between races, or give bad explanations like government welfare.

A smart person who believes in racial equality will not be convinced by the answers of conservatism - which is why more intelligent people tend to be liberal.

Conclusion: the only way for the right to be able to win the argument against wokism and attract more intelligent and capable followers is to be honest about inborn racial differences, and honest about the fact that these natural differences will lead to inequalities of all kinds.

Yet anti-CRT activists like Chris Rufo or James Lindsay will never do this, and accuse White people who are honest about race of being woke.

The way out of Woke/DEI anti-whiteness is not to go back to "color-blind" individualism. If blacks were genuinely judged by their deeds and the contents of their character, they would be much poorer than now, and many more of them would be in jail. They'd notice that, and they'd demand an explanation. Telling them to evolve higher IQs, greater empathy, and longer time horizons won't cut it, either. We will NEVER have color-blind individualism + HBD realism in a multiracial society. Blacks will rebel against it, because reason and justice aren't their strong suits, and whites will go back to lying and placating them. The only way out of this is White Nationalism, which means an end to multiculturalism. Woke/DEI/PC will only end when white people have countries of our own.
