Contrary to what Enoch Powell said in the 1950s, No! You can’t hold Asians, Africans or Arabs to British standards or treat them as you would would Englishmen. They come from a different cultural context. So, no you can’t apply British standards to people in other parts of the world. No, the French weren’t fighting “dirty” in Algeria that were fighting a brutal war against a brutal, merciless and cruel enemy in the FLN. The FLN slaughtered men, women and children and Europeans and Arabs alike! So the French couldn’t just agree to disagree with them or exchange friendship bracelets and everything would be good. They had to use hardcore tactics to fight a hardcore enemy. Nor could white Southerners do so with John Brown and his men. Nor the British with the Mau Mau. They were fighting enemies quite willing to use any means necessary to achieve their goals. You don’t be polite or try to read on with an enemy who’s trying to destroy you, you fight them. What can we do now to restore America? What concrete steps can we take to rebuild western civilization? Well as always, I’ve got some ideas!
• Vote out progressive and leftist elected officials in the big cities.
• Crack down on the NGOs funding these politicians and groups causing all this turmoil.
• Declare Antifa, BLM, the John Brown Gun Club, and Redneck Revolt terrorist groups and the FBI and NSA should aggressively combat them.
• Use the RICO statue to prosecute the leaders of leftist terrorist groups the same way Rudy Giuliani used it to prosecute the heads of the Five Families in New York City.
• Clean up and beautify America’s cities.
• Dismantle the civil rights establishment.
• Eliminate political correctness
• Eliminate identity politics and race essentialism.
• Institute colorblindness and universalism.
• Defund universities that crackdown on free speech.
• Build new universities that value free speech and open inquiry like UATX or Ralston College.
• Increase funding for the police and the number of police.
• Expand the wall on the Southern border.
• Eliminate welfare benefits for illegal immigrants.
• Prosecute companies for hiring illegal immigrants.
• Close down all sanctuary cities.
• Bring back the DOGE and expand its scope.
• Put and prioritize America first.
• All western countries should do comprehensive immigration reform.
• All western countries should do mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
• Cut government spending
• Keep Trump’s tariffs in place.
• All western countries should open up charter cities in the third world.
Good post. But after some thinking it over, I’ve come to respect the British Empire less for their actions in the Second Boer War. Killing Boers and throwing them in camps. I do sympathize with Tolkien’s dream of “Merry Ole England.”
The problem with the Boer War is that the Boers also weren’t fighting like gentlemen, with their guerrilla actions, and so opened themselves up to a different sort of fighting. Traditionally, armies in the field get the protection of the laws of war, but not guerrillas in plainclothes who rely on those civilians.
Fair. But I view guerrilla warfare as a legitimate form and whilst I agree that we shouldn’t throw civilians or combatants in concentration camps, aside from that, one should be able to use a tactic at their disposal to win a war. War is not gentlemanly, it’s a barbarian’s game.
That’s true, but now our enemies are foreigners and modern warfare has ironically made barbarian warfare return. Also, as an American, I admire the frontier spirit of the Boers that I love about Americans.
I should note that I quite like the Boers too, and find them very impressive
My sole point is that in European on European fighting, there are rules that applied for a time, but only under specific circumstances that the Boers gave up on before the British started acting terribly, which is often forgotten
👏👏👏 Yet another tour de force of a piece by the great Will Tanner and the American Tribune! White people have NO right to speak on racism or criticize hgenuinely bad aspects other cultures or point out things that aren’t considered politically correct. So hop in the cannibal’s pot, bigot! You wouldn’t want to be rude and offend them! Eating people is their culture and their tradition and we must respect it even if it means we get eaten! We need to sacrifice our lives in the name of equality & magnanimity! Yeah…I don’t think so. No one with a functioning brain agrees with that. Equal of opportunity for all people I think we can all agree is a good thing. But trying to make all people equal in all ways is not! Magnanimity to some degree is a good thing but our magnanimity as a society shouldn’t be unlimited. I while be happy to welcome and treat with respect anyone treats me with respect and doesn’t pose a threat to me and my family. But I will never tolerate or respect the anti-white John Brown far-left like Hasan Kwame Jeffries! The far-left are bad people and we should not avoid saying so in the name of politeness. To a normal Democrat or liberal I will extend my kindness and will be polite to them. I will NOT do so with leftists who want to destroy America and western civilization!
The white elites in Atlanta didn’t want to call out the destructive behavior of the black elites in the name of politeness. The latter turned around and destroyed the city. The British parliament on both left and right did not oppose the independence of British colonies even though almost none were prepared for self-government also in the name of politeness. Only brave men like Sir Alan Burns and the Duke of Moncross trumpeted the virtues of the British Empire when everyone else shut their ears to them in the name of political correctness. They empire could’ve been held onto and the riches of the colonies would’ve made it plenty profitable, they just didn’t have the will. Not like the French who fought like the devil to keep Algeria. Were there excesses? Yes. But the French, the Pieds-Noirs and their Harki allies warts and all were the imperfect good guys fighting the clear bad guys in the FLN. They gave up Indochina out of a sense of magnanimity after having to fight both the OSS and the Communists.
Pat Buchanan’s quote from his classic book Death of the West couldn’t more correct! The West has resigned itself to self-indulgence in luxury and white and colonial guilt. Rather than actively working to civilize and Christianize mankind. All races are equal, all cultures are not. This is just a fact. We need treat America and the West’s enemies as what they are, evil. DEI collaborators and leftists are evil and we should combat them by all lawful and peaceful means. Our enemies be they John Brown, the Mau Mau, the Weather Underground, or Antifa, we must not concede a inch of ground to them nor extend courtesy to them in any way. We must not repeat the mistakes made by the British in the 20th Century, Atlanta’s white elite, the French in Indochina, or the British Aristocracy. We must take a good, long, hard look at how the West has declined. Yes, things have gotten better and we should be happy about that, but much more work remains to be done. The federal government must make an aggressive effort to fight the far-left wherever they are.

That said it was an unpleasant and awful war
Fair. But I view guerrilla warfare as a legitimate form and whilst I agree that we shouldn’t throw civilians or combatants in concentration camps, aside from that, one should be able to use a tactic at their disposal to win a war. War is not gentlemanly, it’s a barbarian’s game.
War at the time, however was (generally) gentlemanly when fought between white nations
When fought as barbarians, unpleasantness tends to result
Which is what makes Sherman and Sheridan did somewhat different, and far more unconscionable, than what happened during the Boer War
That’s true, but now our enemies are foreigners and modern warfare has ironically made barbarian warfare return. Also, as an American, I admire the frontier spirit of the Boers that I love about Americans.
Agreed!
I should note that I quite like the Boers too, and find them very impressive
