This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Douglas Emhoff, husband of Kamala Harris, posted a photo on Twitter celebrating the Jewish American Heritage Month.
I counted, give or take, 155 Jewish Staff Members. There are 474 White House Staff Members in total, meaning that Jews comprise 32% of all staff members. This is a radical over-representation of 1400%, or 14x what should be expected given the population of 2.2%. As everyone pictured is White, presumably this really is a photo with all the Jewish staff members who wanted to participate in the event (otherwise: why no black staffers present?). There may be some not pictured for various work-related or personal reasons, and perhaps some with Jewish spouses pictured. I had difficulty finding the figures on other demographics. According to an authoritative source, 14% of the staff are Black (this just happens to be the same number and is not a typo). I could find nothing on Asian members, but perusing the total list of White House Staff names I calculated give or take 50 with exclusively Asian names; this should be construed as a minimum because of high exogamy rates and names not always being obviously Asian. That puts Asians at 10.5%. Given that Black people sit at 14%, I would go out on a limb and say that the Latino constituents also comprise roughly their makeup in America; let’s peg it at a slightly lower 15% (if someone wants to check from the list of staffers’ names be my guest).
All of this puts the non-Jewish White percent at 28.5%, counting the Turkish and Arab names as White (and ignoring the probably ~2% Native American that Joe slipped in there). And so, among White House staffers, Whites are quite under-represented and Jews are enormously over-represented. This is problematic IMO, because the domestic founding population of a nation shouldn’t be so under-represented, and a single ethnic cluster with a strong activism network and their own influential nation state probably shouldn’t be 14x over-represented among White House staffers without anyone in established media criticizing or noticing. Alas, such topics have been posted frequently, but in previous cases the over-representation was among Cabinet Members and Supreme Court Justices and so on. This shows that even in a large sample size such as 474, the over-representation remains. If I could put my position into as few words as possible, I would steal from a random tweet on the subject: “Half of the White House staff is Jewish, but we get told that ‘White Supremacists’ run America lol.” What pains me is that while the default white Americans are so under-represented, they are the ones who face the most ruthless black propaganda against their demographic. It’s important to educate others on the problem of representation, I suppose.
I applaud your research tenacity.
In response to the Twitter replies to the tweet, and stepping back to look at a larger view, it seems plain that modern White identitarians (who are the main people making these (partly accurate) "observations" about the Jewish White House staffers, in the replies to that tweet) are making the same exact core mistake which many past White identitarians made.
The mistake is simple: they unnecessarily make enemies of Jews, instead of trying to encourage friendship and alliance. (In some situations enmity is absolutely necessary- like an imminent threat of death- but almost all enmity with Jews is quite unnecessary, because there are better options.)
(And I think there can be no mistake that most Jews reading that thread, even when they might think that all of the accusations are true and fair (and most won't think that) will become more fearful and opposed to White identitarians, not less opposed).
(This is a funny thing I have often observed- many people are more afraid and vengeful when faced with a completely true accusation, than with a false accusation. Accusing someone of something true won't protect you from their fearful lashing out!!! "The truth is an absolute defense" is only a legal doctrine, not a reliable social doctrine.)
If White identitarians really do believe that Jews are extremely powerful and ruthless (and some Jews can fairly be described this way, every group has members like this, and the powerful and ruthless Jews are perhaps particularly impressive), then those Jews are a dangerous enemy.
This is the core paradox at the heart of the anti-Semitic wing of White identitarianism (and also anti-Semitic Black Hebrews other anti-Semitic groups)- they claim that the Jews are incredibly powerful and dangerous, but then behave in a way which tends to maximize the threat from the Jews.
This creates the worst of all worlds, in which some Jews are encouraged to feel under threat (and they are a tiny minority group, so it takes less of a threat before they feel afraid enough to act on their fear), which tends to encourage their worst selfish and paranoid tendencies, which only makes the original problem worse.
(On an even broader level, this is the biggest mistake the Nazis made: making too few deep friends and allies, while also making too many enemies. And modern White identitarians seem to be sadly prone to making the same exact mistake. Not enough friends, and too many enemies.
It is possible to win while having some enemies, but you almost always need to have stronger friends than enemies. And long-term enmity from enemies tends to have a perpetually draining effect, it cannot be tolerated well long-term.)
If there is any chance whatsoever that the would-be dangerous Jews can be converted to friends instead of enemies, then that is obviously a much safer environment for the White Goys, is it not?
...
So, what approaches could White identitarians conceivably attempt, to gain more benefit from Jews, and less danger and aggravation?
It is hard to forecast in advance which approaches will work, so I feel it's important to first identify every single option with even the slightest chance of success.
These would be some of the options I would suggest to the White identitarians, to minimize the danger from the Jews and maximize the positive benefits.
-Stop treating Jews like a monolith. Hell, a lot of the Jews which cause White people the most grief, also cause the most grief to other Jews.
Quite a lot of the Jews which are the most damaging to "White" societies, are also highly damaging to Jewish communities, with their-
.financial exploitation and greed (on the ruthless capitalist side, like Bernie Madoff at the worst, scamming Holocaust survivors out of their nest eggs)
.promoting communism and socialism (draining the hard-working and rich Jews of their wealth)
.promoting pornography (some Jews hate that stuff)
.promotion of anti-racism & affirmative action, undermining Jewish group cohesion
.promoting pro-crime DAs
.promotion of affirmative action, which Jews have not been able to entirely escape even with all of their academic donations and high test scores
.some of the most effective anti-Israel people are Jewish, ironically
.media products with moral values many Jews disagree with
.Jews bringing embarrassment (e.g. Jeffrey Epstein), or starting wars and fights which bring danger to the broader Jewish community
... and so on
(This is an overall basis for why many Jews are actually more allied already with subsets of the White community, than with their fellow Jews. Like, many socially conservative Jews have more in common with socially conservative Whites, than they have with the peak secular Jews.)
Some of the best critiquers of Jews that I have ever known, were Jews themselves! Many of the most admirable Jews in history have spent centuries bearing the danger and burdens galvanized by their worst cousins. (Much like some of the most brave and beautiful Germans in history were raped and killed because of the greed and hatred and stupidity of key Nazis.)
-White identitarians should do more to appreciate and put front and center the Jews that are substantially on their side. A huge percentage of the most effective anti-Woke and pro-HBD communicators and political donors are Jewish.
It is hard to win friends and allies, if you fail to fully appreciate the friendship and alliance of the friends you already have. Don't make this mistake!
Off the top of my head, the following Jews are examples of those at least partially allied to you already (just to show it's possible): Chaya Raichik (libs of tiktok), Ben Shapiro, Mickey Kaus (immigration), Bill Maher has had some nice anti-Woke rants, Ron Unz, and so on.
Trump's biggest political donor, by FAR, was a Jew, Sheldon Adelson.
-Encourage as many Jews as possible to truly identify as White (in addition to identifying as Jewish, or even in place of identifying as Jewish, if they would prefer that, as some often have in the past).
With the incredibly high inter-marriage rates Jews have, most of their children and grandchildren will be even more European and less Jewish in their ancestry than they already are. They are already doing the work for you! Embrace it!
-I know that some White identitarians are opposed to "interracial" marriages, but if a White identitarian believes that Jews are the biggest enemy, and also believes that interracial marriages weaken the powerful, then perhaps the best way to weaken the powerful enemy Jews is to marry with them?
-Many White identitarians seem to glorify the conquests and kingdoms of the past, while failing to study them in any meaningful way and see just how many hard sacrifices and "marriages solely for alliance", even, which it took to build those kingdoms.
They simply need to study their history, and learn its lessons, to get some great ideas for the present.
-As many White identitarians as possible should make it clear that they have a group identity with Jews as a subset of White people, or at least "close enough".
We know that almost all of the founding mothers of the Ashkenazi Jews were genetically indigenous European Goys, for example. https://archive.is/kd9F0
When an ancestry test shows someone as "100% Ashkenazi Jewish", that just means they have the genetic markers of a particular ancestral population. It doesn't mean that 100% of their ancestors for all of time were Jewish, that wouldn't even be possible.
Ashkenazi Jews are almost all less than 60% Jewish in their ancestry, and due to later intermarriage, most are even less genetically "Jewish" than that.
And Sephardic Jews are genetically more closely related to European Goys, than nearly any other population on the planet. They are distant cousins on the human family tree.
-Recognize that because of the history of the Jewish Diaspora, there simply is no path to getting rid of all of the Jews. They live and thrive in too many places, to be completely killed off, even if there were a way to attempt it (which there isn't, realistically speaking).
-Make it clear that Jews are safer by identifying and acting as White, in addition to Jewish.
(This is the one positive possibility of suspicion of the Jews, like in that Twitter thread- if Jews feel fear of White identitarians, but no hope of safety, then they will lash out.
But if they are afraid, but also see a glide path to mutual happiness and success, most of them will be inclined to take it. But there MUST be a genuinely positive option for Jews to take, in order for this dangerous strategy to work.)
My assessment is that White identitarians and Jewish identitarians have done a fair amount to make the other side afraid, but not nearly enough to offer constructive alternatives and reasons to hope.
-Do more as White identitarians, specifically, to pointedly appreciate and admire any Jews which you can find admirable. People feel safer when they are appreciated and admired, and certainly more inclined towards friendship.
-White identitarians should do more to learn about the overall Jewish community, Jewish history, and Jewish culture. Jews appreciate that.
White identitarians should do this even simply as a way to "know the enemy" better, if they are convinced that Jews are indeed an enemy (or might become an enemy).
And if it turns out that White identitarians who study Jewish history and culture realize that some of their hatred isn't justified, that would save them immense amounts of energy and avoid them creating unnecessary danger for themselves.
(I've hit the character limit, this comment continues in my reply to myself)...
-White identitarians should copy more of what works so well for the Jews. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", and it is wise to copy things which are already proven to work.
If Jews are so rich and powerful and good at working in their own ethnic interests, then surely White identitarians would be wise to learn from them?
-One strategy which is proven to work: buy off politicians. It is still quite cheap to buy politicians; AIPAC and other rich Jews do it all the time, with very little money compared to the size of the American economy. (One key part of the strategy is to buy off politicians in BOTH parties.)
The total amount of money spent on political donations at the federal level in the USA in 2020 was $14 billion.
If 4% of Americans are White identitarians willing to spend less than $1000 per year to get everything they want, they could blow all other political donations out of the water with more than $15 billion in donations each election.
Of course, you don't need to outdonate literally all other donors in order to buy politicians. White identitarians could spend wayyyyyy less than that and still gain as much in benefits as AIPAC and friends get for their donations.
I know some White identitarians are willing to die to get what they want. But are they smart enough and pragmatic enough to simply spend $100 per year to bribe politicians in both parties to work for the interests of a majority of Americans???
-Quite frankly, if the most pro-Jewish group on the planet were the White identitarians, do you think that the danger from the Jews would be high? No.
Many Jews do in fact reward those who are kind to them. Focus on them.
-Do more to brag about all you have done for Jews in the past, but frame it like you are their friend.
Instead of framing it like "Look at how much money we give to our enemies", frame it as "Can't you see that we are your friends, after all we have given to you?".
In other words, behave no worse than a Jewish mother using guilt to encourage better behavior.
And what have White Goys given to Jews?:
.massive amounts of foreign aid
.military aid
.promises of protection in the event of a war
.fighting wars partly on the behalf of Israel, at the behest of the neocons and the like
.votes on their behalf in the UN etc.
.intelligence
.letting Jews immigrate to countries we controlled, and even generously letting them control many of our powerful institutions
.liberating concentration camps (Yes, some goys killed Jews. But even the Nazis knew that they had to mostly hide what they were doing, because most White people would not support it, even in an era of intense anti-Semitism.)
.paying reparations and making amends https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/10/27/slavery-reparations-holocaust-restitution-negotiations-229881/
.White-created educational institutions, laws, colonies, and social norms were the launching pad for much of Jewish wealth and success
.it is possible that some of the genetic basis for Ashkenazi success came from those European mothers, perhaps even more than the Jewish fathers
.just as White technologies saved the lives of most of the people on the planet, they helped to save the lives of many Jewish people
In general, it frustrates me to no end that so many White people are so amazingly generous to others, and then do such a terrible job of taking credit for it or getting friendship or concrete value in exchange.
And then many White identitarians make the situation even worse, somehow turning the past White generosity into a basis for hatred and enmity, instead of converting the historical generosity into a basis for friendship.
-Do more to appreciate Jewish contributions to White people, including massive life-saving technologies like the Haber nitrogen process.
Jews have made major contributions in every category listed above, as well as:
.academic contributions
.humanitarian contributions
.paying high taxes which subsidized welfare for White people and others
.political contributions (great statesmen)
.mathematical contributions
.scientific contributions
.cultural contributions
.legal contributions
.weapons (Nuclear weapons were basically a Jewish science project which were given to White Goys to control. Talk about trust!)
.genetic contributions (many mostly-White geniuses are part Jewish)
-Get better at identifying areas of mutual interest, where there is natural pragmatic alliance to be had, or friendship to be had by mutual enjoyment.
-Get better at identifying things which can be negotiated to mutual advantage.
The main principle of negotiation seems to be to find things you would easily part with which are of great value to others, while identifying things which others would easily part with which are of great value to YOU.
Some Jews are amazingly good at negotiation (of either the win/win variety, or the win/lose variety), and are great training partners in pragmatism.
-At every turn, employ "White" persuasion techniques, like the Dale Carnegie technique of defining a high standard for others to live up to. Keep referring to Jews as our friends, not our enemies. Defining someone as an enemy tends to make them one!
On the assumption they'd be used to destroy Nazi Germany. And the funding for implementation came from Europeans, without which Jewish physics expertise is useless.
And what have Jews given in return? Just what are these cultural contributions we're talking about? We got multiculturalism, mass immigration, MindGeek and Tinder. We get Blackrock promoting ESG, we get the NYT and media broadly stoking anti-white hatred (with their wildly diverging treatment of white-on-black vs black-on-white killings), we have Disney pushing everything but white men. We have the ADL shamelessly promoting Jewish nationalism and denigrating white nationalism.
Outside the hard sciences, where they provided a lot of useful work - polio vaccines for instance, Jews have had profoundly negative effects on the West. They comprehensively work to transform the Western World to fit their preferences of an open, cosmopolitan society and snaffle up most of the elite positions in said society, while playing a divide-and-conquer game with newly imported minorities and the old majority. This is not advantageous to Europeans, who lose the benefits of homogenous, high trust communities and a good chunk of elite positions. Consider how many people weren't born due to ideas like feminism which was heavily promoted by Jews or 'overpopulation' circulated by people like Ehrlich.
From Sontag:
Or Barbara Spectre in Sweden:
Noel Ignatiev writes that he merely wants to abolish the category of whiteness, yet I doubt he'd be so enthusiastic if we wanted to eradicate Jewishness (merely as a category though, never mind about the weakness it induces in the group of individuals after having their identity dissolved.) Obviously having your identity is beneficial to the group, why else would identities even exist?
A large chunk of the Jewish cultural intelligentsia has a deep-seated hatred of whites and don't even bother to hide it. Treating people who openly hate you as friends is ridiculously silly. That's what we've been doing for decades and it isn't working out well. Consider the WW2 veterans who are inconceivably bitter about the society they fought for (there's a whole book of letters, The Unknown Warriors, from UK veterans where they mostly despair at the transformation their country has undergone, how the values they were raised under have been demolished).
Of course, I'll give the standard 'not all Jews are working to undermine to remain the remnants of Western Civilization'. But consider that not all whites participated in pogroms, Crusades or Nazism. Sweden isn't going to be spared its 'inevitable cultural transformation', despite hardly ever doing anything to anger Jews. These large-scale conflicts are totalizing, they do not suffer nuance. Consider what happened to the whites who were sympathetic to Dessalines and remained in Haiti after he won the war.
If anyone wants links to back up my points, then I can provide them with sources.
Sure, the Jews thought it would also be in their overall interests of the time (not only as Jews, but also as Americans and pacifists like Einstein) to create the atom bomb.
But I still think it was a big deal to entrust such a destructive weapon to people who were not so ethnically or culturally dissimilar from the Nazis.
And, perhaps most relevantly for White identitarians, by creating such a destructive weapon, they perhaps created the conditions to never have another massively destructive war among White people. ("Brother wars" being one of our chief and regular mistakes for so many centuries.)
It may have even been unintentional, but how many White Goy lives have been saved by the fear of nuclear war? (Quite a lot of human progress has come from unintended discoveries and indirect effects... sort of an anti-fragile effect, I think, the natural tendency of humans to try to turn everything into a positive.)
I personally value the cultural contributions of Jews the least of their contributions. Very little of their culture is the culture I like most. (I hate Seinfeld, I hate Mindgeek, I hate Tinder, I hate...)
But almost zero White people (including White identitarians) don't have some favorite movies or music or other culture which had major Jewish contributions.
One of the culturally "Whitest" and most wholesome movies of all time, imo, "It's A Wonderful Life", was made by a Jew, for example.
Hollywood may have been largely run by (often nepotistic) Jews for over a century (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-dec-19-oe-stein19-story.html), and yet those Jews turned a profit from White audiences. If Jews did a better job of giving White audiences culture they were willing to pay for, than we ourselves were able to do, whose fault is that? Nepotism can only explain so much...
This had already happened, and was going to keep happening, even if no Jews had ever been let in the country.
The Hart-Cellar Act of 1965 passed overwhelmingly, Jews were not necessary for it.
"voted 320 to 70 in favor of the act, while the United States Senate passed the bill by a vote of 76 to 18.[28] In the Senate, 52 Democrats voted yes, 14 no, and 1 abstained. Among Senate Republicans, 24 voted yes, 3 voted no, and 1 abstained.[29] In the House, 202 Democrats voted yes, 60 voted no, and 12 abstained, 118 Republicans voted yes, 10 voted no, and 11 abstained.[30] In total, 74% of Democrats and 85% of Republicans voted for passage of this bill"
And Reagan naturalized huge numbers of illegal aliens.
I think America and other countries have done a terrible job with how they have managed immigration, but us White people should take responsibility for our part in them. (And if we were partly persuaded by Jews into these mistakes, we should take responsibility for that, too. We have to be smart enough to not push the blade into our own heart, no matter how persuasive some messages might be.)
No doubt commercial and pro-immigration Jews helped accelerate this, but probably much of this would have happened anyway, due to capitalist and migratory pressures. We need to take responsibility for our choices, along with acknowledging the environment we were operating in. Once we created so many nice countries, and being so capitalist, mass immigration was almost inevitable.
"Jewish nationalism" and "Jewish identitarianism" are great phrases. Instead of saying "Zionist" (which most people don't understand), just always refer to it as "Jewish nationalism/identitarianism", so people understand that White nationalism and Jewish nationalism are the same thing.
I think that several groups of people are VERY BAD at bragging about how much they have helped the rest of the planet.
These groups include (but are not limited to):
.men of all races
.White Goys
.Jews
.nerds in general
Anyway, Jews need to do a better job of bragging about every great contribution they have made, just like White Goys need to brag more, and men need to brag more, and so on.
It's possible that one single Jew- Fritz Haber- saved more lives with one single invention, than the sum of all lives lost to every single "bad Jew" on the planet.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=EvknN89JoWo&ab_channel=Veritasium
(One thing I love about the Fritz Haber example is that he also helped to kill a lot of people, so it shows the dichotomy of Jews, which is similar to the dichotomy of White Goys & the dichotomy of men & of technology in general- sometimes they do bad things, and sometimes they do good things. But the Good usually heavily outweighs the Bad.)
White people had the least need for help, but I bet the White population could expand by over 100 million extra people due to that one Jew.
Every other invention and scientific discovery is basically gravy on top, for its benefits for White people. And Jews are massive contributors in these areas.
A meaningful portion of White wealth is directly and indirectly based on Jewish ingenuity & investment. (Just like most Jewish wealth is built on top of White foundations.)
And in a civilizational conflict with, say, China, Jews would be crucial allies. Just like their help in ending the war with Japan.
It seems particularly insane to me in the present moment for any White identitarians to dare to make themselves seem like a threat to Jews, when so many Jews are playing crucial roles in AI development. There are an almost infinite number of ways in which unnecessary enmity could turn out horribly for White anti-Semites during this phase of history!
(And likewise, there are so many White Goys playing crucial roles in AI development, and Chinese people, and Indians, and so on, that the risk of Jews or anyone else being negatively racist towards any of these other groups seems off-the-charts insane.)
I bet some Jews have the exact same rationalization for why it's ok to screw over lots of White societies. "Sure, most White people are nice, but some of them did MASSIVE damage to us...", and use that to justify their selfishness and racism against all of us.
And BTW, I never doubted that some Jews have had a truly horrible (and often misinformed) attitude towards us. I am just exploring how the dynamic could eventually become lastingly better.
Ending the negative cycle is the key thing. Or at least reducing it. Both sides need better communication/persuasion, and more creative pragmatism.
This and the rest of your comment did a good job of exploring reasons to A) fear the power of Jews (in other words, try to convert them to friends and allies, by whatever creative and reasonable means we can do so), and B) "if you can't beat them, join them".
Ah yes but somebody would've figured out synthesizing nitrogen eventually. If it wasn't Haber, it would've been the next-best, next-luckiest chemist. As guano prices rise, more money and brainpower is brought to bear on the problem. Someone was always going to figure out quantum mechanics, eventually. In a world without Jews, people might've figured out nuclear weapons somewhat slower but it would still have been achieved. Likewise with polio vaccines.
Politics and culture is vastly more important than science since culture and politics are one-shot things. If you lock in feminism to the Japanese constitution and the birthrate plummets, never to recover, then that's brainpower that is forever lost, it cannot be rediscovered. If you (Trotsky, Zinoviev and the rest of the gang) impose a horrendously bad form of government on a huge swathe of Eurasia (then get overthrown by Stalin and Beria who do their best to match and exceed in terms of brutality and waste), then that can never be undone. Let's not forget galaxy-brain Von Neumann's plea to immediately wage nuclear war against the Soviet Union and kill tens of millions more. If he'd been listened to, if people had trusted his game theory over their own common sense... Well someone else can invent computer architecture - nobody can bring the dead back to life.
Over the last few years, how many people weren't born because of Ehrlich and co's overpopulation meme? How much wealth has been squandered? Nobody can be sure but the amount of brainpower we lost to communism and bad politics (which is admittedly multi-causal but heavily influenced by ideas promulgated by Jews) is immense. My bet is that it outweighs Jewish contributions to science by far.
Good point. But the key thing hinges upon the necessity of the enmity. If you have a neutral, then you should not offend them unless necessary, especially if they're powerful. But if there's an enemy on the verge of attaining total power over the world? If protesting at the sinister entrenchment of political bias in GPT, for example, is making a threat, so be it. It's rather similar to the adage 'When You’re Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression'.
Likewise, brainpower is needed in a conflict with China. But there are other options - we could abandon our crusade to impose LGBT rights and liberal democracy upon Beijing. Acknowledging China as a legitimate non-democracy would have soothed much of the problems. Or we could've been more disciplined earlier on! Goldman Sachs and co could have not blindly sought profits from the Chinese market... A less Open Society would not have brought in Chinese students and trained them in advanced technology, so they could then leak IP back to China. A West that had a genuinely nationalist policy would not have let its industrial base be carved out and send to Shanghai.
There's a combination of high intelligence and insufficiently high wisdom that is very dangerous. It can make money and innovation - but also bad money and bad innovations like coin-clipping or communism, Middle East regime change, pre-emptive nuclear war, pumping sterilization drugs into the water supply as Ehrlich proposed. Better to match moderate wisdom and intelligence, advance swiftly but not recklessly embrace radical ideas.
Even so, I respect the novelty and refreshing point of view of your argument. But don't you think that it's a very unlikely ideology to work? I've spent a lot of time reading and never come across anything like what you say. People more naturally think in terms of 'threat -> enemy -> weaken/destroy' than 'threat -> cooperate -> ally'. Why else are there wars in the world?
