My view on the real origin story of the usa

[Five of swords]

We are living in a period of some sort of ideological crisis...where people are unsure what legitimizes the usa or what the usa really is or ought to be.

 

In this environment, I see a huge number of 'very smart people' trying to tell the masses stories about what the usa is and where it came from.

 

And generally, they are just wrong and seriously inadequate in my view.

 

I just want to give my own impression of a general overview of what the usa is and how we got to where we are now. And I am just citing from memory of stuff I have read, but I am not going to bother dragging out exact citations...because it isn't really worth the energy...because I doubt that normies are even psychologically capable of considering that the entire mythology they have been told is simply not quite true.

 

Firstly, as a very broad overview, I would say that the one thing all Americans had in common is that we are homeless. Anyone who wants to understand the usa ought to read 'look homeward, angel' by Thomas wolfe...who might be the greatest American author of all time, but is somehow obscure...and obscure for very good reason. First and foremost Americans are a homeless people.. but we are all homeless for different reasons...and those different reasons are often the source of conflict within the usa. The only thing that brings us together, however, is a common homelessness and a sort of longing for having some sort of homeland, or nostalgia or homesickness for a homeland long lost to us.

 

The most cliche version of American homelessness, which is the version you will be exposed to the most if you read the most popular and well-known literature (tocqueville 'democracy in america', for example).. is the story of new England and the puritans. Massachusetts, primarily. The prevalence of that narrative is of course largely a consequence of the puritans building the ivy league schools. But objectively they themselves have only been a small part of America and in population they are not so significant. Those people were perhaps in their psyche just 'Anti homeland'. Their only homeland was in heaven, and they did not feel a longing to return to England, because such concerns are 'worldly' and the puritans believed in constructing an otherworldly utopia...'burn all your earthy possessions in flame'...including your homeland, and including all the witches. 

In stark contrast, you have the Virginia plantation owners. And they were homeless simply because they lost a war. Specifically, the English Civil War. Oliver Cromwell defeated the cavaliers who then fled to Virginia. In many ways the American Civil War was simply a repeat of the English Civil War, with the two sides literally being of the same genetic stock of their ancestors who fought the first English Civil war.

 

Another element would be like the first settlers of georgia...whose purpose was to drive the Spanish out of north America and claim it for the British empire. Those colonies were also settled by people who had lost their homeland...but they were looking for a second chance for success after being humiliated and thrown in debtors prisons in England. Like the Virginia planters, they also had a longing for a homeland. And this could help explain why many of them feel a sense of comraderie and perhaps vicarious nationalism for jews and the Israel project. These people also have historically NOT had a 'pan European' loyalty...just as the kkk was as a rule not embracing all whites but was also anti catholic (like the spanish who oglethorp opposed, or the french who were chased out of louisiana and mississippi) (a notable exception being its second manifestation when it traveled north, and northern individuals like Lothrop Stoddard and Madison Grant did adopt a pan European identity)

 

And of course many of the western states were settled by people willing to leave home seeking opportunity and wealth. The gold rush. These were people who cared more about finding gold and other opportunities than they cared about their home and growing roots. That is a powerful selection bias and can do much to explain why LA or Vegas has the character that it has today.

 

Blacks and native Americans in North America also have their own struggles with a sense of homelessness...and that is for very obvious reasons that have been described to exhaustion in the main stream narratives. But it is interesting that this is am aspect of their experience that they can relate to with their 'oppressors'.

 

I have seen some new 'edgy' historians make a big deal about how the usa was fundamentally 'inclusive'.. and the 'free white men of good character' in the 1789 naturalization act was in essence a highly inclusive act, considering how divided Europeans had been up to that point, and the naming of whites was not so much about white nationalism but more about depriving the southern slave owners from using their slaves for political power. There is truth behind that interpretation, but again it is still more complicated. Because there was a pan European aspect to the American project. Indeed, one of the beloved 'founding fathers' of the usa, Benjamin Franklin, stated quite explicitly in his writings (observations concerning the increase of mankind, etc) that the 'age of discovery' in European history left the Europeans horrified to learn that their continent is in fact quite small...and as soon as other people catch up to them in technology and 'enlightenment', they will easily surpass them in power and Europeans will be at their mercy, simply because Europe cannot support anything close to the population or resources that could exist in Africa or Asia. So yes, there was a significant motive for white expansion, while it was still possible, in the colonizing of North America, Australia, South Africa, etc. Sometimes Christianity was employed as a euphemism for this fundamentally racial project...and historically the genuine Christians were the primary enemies of that fundamental racial project (think John brown, for example). 

 

Anyway, that is all I can bother delving into right now. And it provides a lot of context underneath the Civil War and certainly world War 2...and world War 2 has replaced our older myths as the creation myth of this country. The normie American considers the primary goal of the usa to be the opposite of hitler...which to them means on the one hand not being authoritarian (about half the country considers that to be the primary sin of hitler)...and also loving the jews (about the other half the country considers racism to be the primary sin of hitler). Both sides are generally just confused by the nationalism of hitler.. that he loved germans and wanted to protect the German homeland...because we are uniquely incapable of even comprehending having a homeland, outside of living vicariously through the jews.
