Bob,
I love ya' and respect the hell out of you. I don't like this new expansion, though. I know that you want honest responses, and not just sycophantic ones from Yes Men (not speaking of the responses in this thread that have already been madejust speaking generally), so I'll give my rationale:
I will begin my critique with the weakest criticism, and end with (IMO) the silver bullet.
Firstly, on the level of raw aesthetics and gut judgments, the new meme is clunky (from all the ='s), and would probably not be used by an actual marketing or political campaign. Whether it's "Oh yes we can", "The pause that refreshes", or "Iran is going to wipe Israel off the map", memes are usually made of words. They are short, but they are still words.
"'Diversity' = White Genocide" works, despite the "=", because it's pithy, short, and clean. It's also worth noting that most BUGSters still preferred "'Diversity' is a codeword for White Genocide" when limited banner/ and/or bumper sticker space wasn't an issue.
"Diversity = White Genocide = Self-Hatred = SICK!!!" Is that going on a bumper sticker? Do we know of any of our enemy's wildly successful memes that used that many mathematical symbols? Try making a sentence out of that, and you are immediately out of the realm of "Oh yes we can".
SILVER BULLET: If you think about it, this new expansion subtly puts the guilt-onus of our genocide back on US. If this is the new meme, good luck convincing garden variety pro-Whites to keep calling it "genocide" (most pro-Whites, and even many AMPWs, currently call it "genocide", thanks to us).
It has been a long, fierce, and fevered battle to get people to say "genocide" instead of "suicide".
and, IMO, we have largely won that battle, at least in pro-White circles. Let's not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Let's look at the expansion piece-by-piece:
Diversity: The expansion doesn't have the quotation marks, which normally serve to both subtly delegitimize the word, and implicate some "fishiness"/disingenuousness therein.
Nevertheless, I'll assume that was an oversight. Moving on, BUGSters speak of "diversity" as something that is IMPOSED on all and only White countries. We call it a genocidal scam. We blame Anti-Whites, and particularly the anti-White Elite, for this.
White Genocide: Again, groups don't genocide themselves. Genocide is imposed on and done to a group of people. The core of the Mantra is the charge of genocide. This dovetails perfectly with how we speak of "diversity", that is, situations that are being done to us, and imposed on us, by others.
Self-Hatred: Red light! Warning sign! Till now, we have been building momentum, with "Diversity" and "White Genocide", for a charge against an elite/guilty party. But this new expansion takes that meme-energy of accusation, the charge of genocide, and bends it back toward us. White Anti-White Elites and Semite Anti-White Elites don't genocide us from their own self-hatred. "Self-hatred" can only be talking about the self-hatred of White people.
Are White children being subjected to genocide because of their self-hatred? Are we here at BUGS being subjected to genocide because of our self-hatred? Are the majority of people in White countries who would close the bordersand who White Flight away from "diversity" whenever they canbeing subjected to genocide because of their self-hatred?
I will agree that "suicide" is a "lens" through which some of our problems could be seen and analyzed. However, AS A BUGSTER, I would, firstly, NEVER SAY THAT "publicly"talk about mixed messages! Secondly, I think the vast majority of the current, alleged "suicidal" impulses of our people are a direct result of an objective genocide. Thirdly, "genocide" is simply more accurate.
Imagine a serial killer who has trapped a woman. He keeps her in a dungeon, floods it with rats and parasites, and has recordings of thousands of voices telling her that she is evil and needs to kill herself. Eventually she does. I suppose there is a place in that story to "talk about" suicide, but that suicide wouldn't have happened without the physical oppression and psychological torture. Most people would not blame the woman.
That sums up my thoughts on "White Suicide", or "suicide" as a "lens" through which to view our situation.
SICK!!!: A cutting comment on the aforementioned, alleged White Psychology.
In this expansion, what started out as a monumental charge of worldwide genocidethat we hope ends up in money punishments/ICC/etc.ends up subtly blaming the victim, and proceeds to comment on the alleged White pathological psychology.
To me, it is as obvious as the rising sun that the subtext/thrust of this expansion would be better written as "'Diversity' = White Suicide = Self-Hatred = SICK!!!"
... and that isn't Mantra.
P.S. I haven't listened to the audio yet, and don't know when I'll have the chance, so I wanted to make this now, while the article is still fresh. It is possible that I'm not fully understanding your reasoning, and that you expounded upon it in the audio.
