In the long run, this late-mid
October 2012 week might get memorialized as an important one in culturist
history. Not for the American Presidential debates. But because “Generation Identity,” (‘Identitare” in French),
occupied, in the popular American vernacular, a mosque and demanded a public
referendum on ending Islamic immigration and mosque construction. This group scored on rhetoric;
and they understand history. An involving,
public form of peaceful, culturist action, led by a new generation, has
emerged.
The French Generation Identity
movement is grounded in culturist historical basics; from the roof of the
Poitiers mosque, in honor of October 25th, they hung a banner
reading, “732 Generation Identitaire.”
The Muslims actually built the mosque to revenge the French Hero,
Ancestor, and warrior, Charles Martel defeating the Muslims there and
then. The significance of
this battle cannot be overstated.
Charles Martel’s victory over Islam likely prevented a repetition in
France of the 700-year take over of Spain by the same Muslim forces.
Culturists have history on their
side and use it. The history of animosity and bloody battle between the West
and Islam has not stopped.
Multiculturalists remove this historical angle and so project the relatively
peaceful present back into the past and indefinitely into the future. But, history and current geo-political
activity show inter-civilizational conflict continuing. In celebrating Charles’ Martel’s 732
battle, Generation Identity shows acute culturist historical awareness.
The word “Identity” in the name
of Generation Identity refers, I argue, to culture. Generation Identity begs their culturally French brethren to
keep the region’s traditional majority culture from the aggression of a
historically hostile culture. As
the West paradoxically makes individualism the root of our cultural
commonality, our national culture groups collectively have trouble separating
the individual identity tree from the cultural forest. We tend to see identity
individually. But, Generation Identity’s highlighting their national history
points collective cultural identity being their group name’s referent.
Cognitive dissonance happens when
one can choose between an uncomfortable fact and changing your actions. People would rather change their
assessments of situations than face a challenging reality. The older generation cowers at
discussing the hard truth of Islam in the West. The new generation has no comfortable fear abeyance
mechanism, denial, or employment, making its generation accommodate and pretend
to its doom. As our forefathers
did with the decline of religion, this generation can and must outstare this
void with their eyes wide open.
Culturists in other western
nations, such as the British National Culturists, constitute new generational
stances based on a fresh and clear interpretation of history. We western
bretheren recognize common words in “Identitaire” and “Identity.” We agree with
your statements against multiculturalists and globalists. When our separate nations
band, western culturism stands stronger. In this spirit we salute your
culturist hero Martel. And we culturists in America, England and elsewhere in
the western world admire and salute you, Generation Identity, for your historic
culturist initiative.
