It’s a snappy description of what my blog is about, but the more I write about these two topics, the more I realize how inseparable they are. Obviously there are non-sexual political issues like marginal tax rates. But unless something is very wrong with marginal tax rates, they won’t elicit the same strong emotional response we see when sexuality and the human body are directly involved.
Classic examples would be abortion or gay marriage. These can make or break your relationships even when they don’t really affect the people you’re arguing with. But the most polarizing aspect of sexual politics has to be immigration. It is quite literally about adding new humans to your society and having these new humans mingle and mix with your existing population, including your friends, family or yourself. It’s bound to evoke heavy emotions.
Nationalists have their own kind of sexual politics. That’s why every nationalist blog seems to feature pics of nubile blond maidens in sprouting wheat fields, a not-so-subtle nod to white fertility. Unfortunately for them, this kind of politics has had its reputation ruined by history, so they can’t be too candid about it. All they can do is fret about immigrants stealing jobs and abusing welfare, which is not nearly as emotionally engaging. Sucks for them, great for us–our side can, should and does promote its sexual politics in very primal and energizing ways:
Sometimes I get indignant messages from right-wingers about why Europe doesn’t have the right to stay white. Europe’s voting population is still 90+% white. If they all wanted to stay white, I would hardly be in a position to change the outcome. But the vast majority don’t seem to care much about their right to stay white; at the same time, more and more Europeans are enthusiastically embracing their right to go black. Right-wingers are losing because their politics simply aren’t very sexy.
But is sexiness a good enough reason to make these sweeping social changes? Absolutely! If people are sexually fulfilled, they are happier, healthier, more compassionate and more productive. The Africanization of Europe really is an injection of life energy into a continent that badly needs a new internal source of drive and inspiration.
Aside from that, it simply looks great. Interracial couples and mixed-race people beautify my day and why wouldn’t I want to have more of that? Shouldn’t the end goal of politics be to make the world a more beautiful place?
It’s easy to be racist when you have no relations to anyone outside your race. It’s not impossible, but a lot more emotionally taxing to be racist after you’ve been mounted by an Ivorian immigrant and enjoyed your first triple orgasm. Who knew that “fuck racism” would be such an effective strategy? The higher your levels of immigration, the more often this will happen and the more people will question their commitment to whiteness and nationalism. That’s what scares right-wingers the most: not the presence of non-whites, but the willing collaboration of whites in transforming their societies.
I never get tired of seeing this play out in real time when a nationalist snowbunny-to-be discovers the interracial scene on tumblr, gets embroiled in passionate debate and suddenly develops interracial curiosities herself. The minute she can admit to that, her whole belief system seems questionable. There’s no logical reason why her sexual desires should influence her politics that much, but it happens again and again because it’s just human nature. And it’s beautiful.
The subtitle of my first Africanization blog used to be “ending whiteness, one orgasm at a time”. This was more than wishful thinking precisely because sex is politics; and when black bodies make white bodies moan in ecstatic pleasure, whiteness simply dissolves in the afterglow.
