[Note: The somewhat odd tone and form of this essay are due to its having been one of two speech ideas sent to VDARE.com editor Peter Brimelow for consideration for possible presentation at their April 2024 conference. Ultimately, the other speech (which I might submit for publication later) was chosen, though due to their regular lineup having been full already it was given at a breakout session on the conference’s final day. Though I will be breaking this speech up into individual parts for VDARE.com, both to elaborate on the parts and to keep the length of each within their webzine’s normal format, I thought it would be of interest to TOO readers to have it produced in its original form here.]
On this essay I’m going to put out the proof for one thing maybe shocking even to The Occidental Observer readers, however pleasantly so. We of the Dissident Proper are normally loath to struggle in response to the foundations of engagement the left dictates for his or her enemies—after which disregards for themselves; we’ve a visceral (and fairly wholesome) disgust for the tactic of making an attempt to punch whereas preserving your head firmly kowtowed to the bottom, a la Democrats are the true racists and different such nonsense. However on this case I do recommend that we struggle the Left whereas giving solely scorn to their antinationalist premises—and utterly rout them—on the terrain of their selection.
For relating to commerce and immigration, it’s really the case that protectionism and excessive immigration restriction by the White and East Asian nations really raises the usual of residing not simply of these international locations however of the complete world.
Appears counterintuitive, I do know. Nevertheless it’s utterly, logically, and empirically true. How do I do know? Nicely, let me stroll you thru it. To begin with, we have to ask, what determines a nation’s way of life and what makes it improve?
A part of it’s pure sources, although that’s clearly not the entire story: if it have been, the resource-laden nations of Africa would have a lot larger requirements of residing than Hong Kong, which is principally a desolate rock, however the polar reverse is true. And earlier than the arrival of the colonists, America’s residing customary was stubbornly caught within the stone age, regardless of its having each fascinating useful resource since time immemorial. What did the colonists deliver with them that allowed the nation to make the soar from prehistoric life to ones rivaling these of the wealthiest nations (on the time) on earth in slightly over two centuries? Principally, bodily and mental capital and the need and skill to make use of the latter to extend the previous per capita. In different phrases, the extra we will improve the variety of machines, instruments, and gadgets relative to our numbers—plus slightly genius right here and there to enhance our technological methods and obtain a multiplier impact on that accumulation—the extra our requirements of residing are going to rise. And the other is true as properly, i.e., growing the inhabitants relative to the quantity of capital will see a decline in these requirements.
What in flip is required for capital accumulation? Nicely, having an excellent variety of STEM sorts relative to the inhabitants and a strong financial savings fee; or to place it one other means, you want a individuals with excessive common IQ and low time desire. And as I mentioned, a number of geniuses, whose intelligence will not be at all times as measurable as IQ, present an excellent accelerant, however even with out that x issue, a excessive IQ/low time desire inhabitants alone would have the ability to improve residing requirements, simply not as rapidly.
And what’s true on the nationwide scale isn’t any much less true on the world scale. The extra excessive IQ/low time desire people as a share of the world’s inhabitants, the upper the usual of residing will probably be for everybody, different issues being equal. As I’ll present in a second, it will occur whatever the intentions of the White or East Asian international locations.
Whereas slight variation is seen from nation to nation, the typical IQ of the White nations is 100, the typical of the East Asian ones is 105, and each have comparatively excessive saving charges when in comparison with different peoples (I’m excluding Ashkenazi Jews from the dialogue regardless of the 112 common IQ and excessive financial savings fee due to how infinitesimally small their numbers are in comparison with the world inhabitants). So if the world inhabitants’s proportion of Whites and East Asians have been to extend, you’d have extra STEM sorts and geniuses—Whites really lead in that regard, as they’ve larger numbers each above and beneath their common intelligence stage relative to East Asians—as a % of the entire, that means a larger potential for growing the quantity of capital per capita.
When trying towards the long run, think about the above in gentle of this graphic I put collectively exhibiting IQ vs fertility fee: learn it and weep—or no less than, attain for a stiff drink. (To see simply how screwed the world is except one thing adjustments, simply eyeball the strains connecting a rustic’s rating on the primary record (fertility rating, excessive to low) versus the second (IQ rating, excessive to low): if the world have been to be getting smarter on common or no less than staying the identical, most of these strains can be horizontal. The extra vertical the strains, the dumber the world will probably be getting on common relative to now.)
As you’ll be able to see, the STEM powerhouses are both declining or stagnating whereas the STEM deserts are exploding relative to the entire.
The graph may be labeled the confluence of globalization and biology. Lengthy story brief, because the US, Europe and its former colonies, and to a lesser extent Japan started outsourcing manufacturing to the decrease revenue international locations, the true incomes of the working and center lessons both declined or slowed relative to their potential, whereas the true incomes of the nations outsourced to went via the roof—as did their inhabitants numbers usually. Because the graph makes clear, the once-poor high-IQ nations South Korea and China put their newfound wealth into elevated capital and let their birthrates decline, whereas the low IQ nations put theirs into funding a inhabitants growth, as seen on this graph of the world’s most populous international locations.
As soon as beneath the inhabitants of Germany (with a mean IQ of 100), each Indonesia (common IQ of 80) and Nigeria (common IQ of 68) have left Deutschland within the demographic mud utilizing the wealth born of the West’s capital export (and in Africa’s case, with Western help and charity as properly).
Let me rapidly present you the mechanics of the betrayal of the Western working and center lessons by the globalists and the way the harm accomplished not solely to them however to the nation and certainly world, is even worse than it first seems. To sum up the best way the preliminary and most evident harm, that’s, to the First World’s center and dealing lessons, performs out, we merely use what you would possibly time period the globalization of Say’s Regulation: simply as Say’s Regulation says that the manufacturing of product A creates a requirement for product B (so, a cobbler’s sneakers produced and bought create the demand for the varied items he buys along with his revenue), my model states that firms will offshore manufacturing till the decline of actual incomes from diminished manufacturing within the once-wealthier nations meets with the rise of actual incomes from growing manufacturing within the once-poorer nations, ending any earnings available from offshoring additional. Let’s take a look at it from the standpoint of a person firm, with this graphic exhibiting its complete prices and complete gross sales which—subtracting the previous from the latter—decide revenue: the left half represents the plan to provide it in America, the fitting the plan to take action by way of offshoring—and as you’ll be able to see, the fitting has a enormously enlarged revenue margin, therefore, why firms initially rush to offshore.
After all, for that differential to work, the corporate wants its US consumers to have the identical actual revenue. The explanation the corporate loves these third worlders as staff is identical cause it hates them as prospects: except we’re speaking about meals and possibly one thing like a cellular phone, there’s no means the person who places in a complete day to earn what an American employee would make in an hour goes to purchase the corporate’s product for a similar value. However as offshoring continues apace and throws increasingly more American staff out of their manufacturing jobs and into wage competitors with different US staff, each actual and nominal incomes decline and people staff’ incapability to purchase the offshoring firms’ merchandise reduces its gross sales and therefore their revenue margins from above on the identical time that rising actual wages of the third world staff start to scale back these earnings from beneath. It will maintain going till it appears as if the 2 economies fuse and all issues interchangeable, together with labor and incomes, are combined and evened out, to the nice detriment of the West’s center and dealing lessons.
For a fast take a look at the macro results of this, think about this temporary story of two economies.
Record of traits:
Nation A:
Whole inhabitants: 120,000 (100,000 working; 20,000 nonworking)
Whole incomes: 100,000,000.00
Employees:
20,000 STEM-types (they earn collectively, 30,000,000.00)
30,000 semiskilled-types (they earn collectively 30,000,000.00)
50,000 unskilled (they earn collectively 40,000,000.00)
Nation B:
Whole inhabitants: 120, 000 (100,000 working; 20,000 nonworking)
Whole incomes: 10,000,000.00
Employees:
100,000 unskilled (they earn collectively 10,000,000.00)
Nation A-B fused economic system:
Whole inhabitants: 240,000 (200,000 working; 40,000 nonworking)
Whole incomes: 110,000,000.00
Employees:
20,000 STEM-types (they earn collectively, 30,000,000.00)
30,000 semiskilled-types (they earn collectively 30,000,000.00)
150,000 unskilled (they earn collectively 50,000,000.00)
Prefusion per capita earnings:
Nation A:
STEM-type: $1,500.00
Semiskilled: $1,500.00
Unskilled: $800.00
Postfusion per capita earnings:
Nation A:
STEM-type: $1,500.00
Semiskilled: $1,500.00
Unskilled: $333.33
As you’ll be able to see, Nation A is one thing like a Western nation, with an excellent share of the workforce made up of capital-creating-and-maintaining STEM-types, together with many semiskilled staff and unskilled staff incomes fairly first rate wages—largely because of the capital accumulation and upkeep that the STEM-type and semiskilled staff enable. Nation B, alternatively, is one thing like an impoverished African nation with nearly no capital and no STEM-types and even semiskilled staff (suppose one thing alongside the strains of The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s pure sources grown and harvested by way of primitive methods by a inhabitants resembling Sierra Leone’s with its common IQ of 52). Ample pure sources alone enable Nation B to earn one-tenth the nationwide revenue of Nation A, and once they “fuse,” solely the interchangeable unskilled staff of each nations are affected income-wise, with Nation A’s STEM-type and semiskilled staff doing simply as properly, as there aren’t any Nation B staff who can compete with them for wages. What occurs is actually that manufacturing services in Nation A shut down and ship out together with their STEM-type and semiskilled workforces (who will probably be getting a bit extra in pay to compensate for the relocation, and so on., however I’m portray with a broad brush right here, and the pay of all of Nation A STEM-type and semiskilled staff wouldn’t go up by that a lot from this) to Nation B to make the most of its unskilled dirt-cheap workforce; and within the course of all these Nation A unskilled staff laid off in manufacturing transfer into no matter job niches they’ll discover, decreasing the wages of unskilled staff in Nation A total.
Although the small print can be way more advanced in actual life, that is, broadly talking, what occurs in globalization and free commerce (and unchecked immigration produces an analogous impact with the extra burdens of rising crime, diminishing social capital, and so on., inside the wealthier higher-IQ international locations). So within the case of its fusion with a rustic equivalent to India with its low common IQ total (77) however its huge reserves of high-IQ Brahmin sorts due to its total huge inhabitants, even Western STEM-types would start to really feel the stress, with the one total winners no less than from the attitude of Nation A being the globalist oligarchs financing the entire thing. So principally, whereas offshoring looks like a candy deal to those that reap the benefits of its preliminary results, in the long run, the one doable true winners are these of the poorer, lower-IQ nations—and even for them it’s a Pyrrhic victory in the long term.
To see why even the third world’s victory is considerably Pyrrhic, we have to analyze why globalism’s harm is much more pernicious than you’d suppose, for 2 causes. First, for what you would possibly name the overqualified employee impact. Let me illustrate it with a graph and a private story. First, the graph, which is from Robert M. Hauser of The College of Wisconsin-Madison’s Middle for Demography and Ecology:
Because it exhibits, there’s a fairly vast IQ vary inside the varied fields, with a few of the high-end staff in stereotypically middling- and even low-IQ professions having a quantity larger than the low finish of the high-IQ professions—yeah, it even shocked me to see some within the janitorial line of labor come out forward of the dimmer STEM-types, however I assume that’s life, as my private story illustrates (in a barely much less excessive means). Within the early 1900s, my mom’s grandfather emigrated from Germany to the US and settled in Nebraska as a farmer. He had eight children and took on seasonal assist from different German immigrants. When the mud bowl got here, he left Nebraska for Ohio the place he labored in a manufacturing unit doing what was de facto engineering work: establishing dies, repairing and calibrating gear, typically doing the maths required mentally or simply with paper and pencil. A few of his German employed assist was that sensible as properly. So for varied causes, together with circumstances, temperament, and so on., there are various with STEM-level IQs (119 on common in response to a 2009 article by Jonathan Wai et al.) who stay in fields for which they’re overqualified. Whereas they may not straight contribute to the pool of STEM staff, their incomes sufficient to lift giant households—a factor made inconceivable when mass immigration pits them in opposition to low-IQ, low-wage staff who’re simply barely certified for his or her jobs—helps guarantee sufficient no less than potential STEM sorts within the subsequent technology.
Additionally, think about this. Per standard genetics, when you’ve gotten a inhabitants of the identical kind of organism through which a trait is very prevalent however not essentially current in every particular person, it’s way more probably for members of that group that don’t themselves present the trait to provide offspring that do than can be the case with the don’t-show-the-trait members of a inhabitants through which the trait happens however could be very uncommon. To place it in human phrases, if White or East Asian working-class {couples} with 90 IQs are incomes actual incomes that enable them to have 4 children every, its way more probably that they’ll produce no less than one in all STEM-level IQ (which is about 119 on common) than a Hispanic or Black couple with IQs of 90. And because the center and dealing lessons are likely to have extra children than the high-average-IQ higher lessons, this supplies an additional assist for preserving STEM numbers up.
For each of these causes, those that want to preserve a contemporary economic system and the usual of residing it permits MUST cease forcing the decrease and center lessons of heritage People into cutthroat wage competitors with staff from low-IQ nations who meet simply the minimal {qualifications} for his or her positions.
How can we cease this means of globalist-induced world immiserization? By having the West embrace true financial nationalism: put a right away cap on all third-world immigration, together with all H-1 sorts (a real nationalist should want them to remain and assist develop the wealth of their very own nations); shut the border and truly deport the illegals; cease making our smartest and best residents pay for the dimmest and least productive to breed; and finish the tax incentives that reward offshoring and substitute them with what I wish to name veraprotectionism (or true protectionism) consisting of equalizing tariffs tied to the distinction in prices of labor and environmental rules between the US and different nations.
That final half’s particularly essential. We’d like true financial nationalism, not crony capitalism: let the pols set the person charges by trade or some such scheme and also you’ll flip the entire thing into an unlimited, seething caldron of corruption and waste; set it for all international locations primarily based on the completely different common prices of labor and so on., after which sit again and let shoppers resolve which merchandise are finest for his or her prices—with out having to fret that selecting the foreign-made will impoverish unseen staff in some a part of the nation.
This whilst you do assist the employees of different nations—however solely after you’ve helped your individual, in the identical means that your major responsibility is to your loved ones: this being the essence of real nationalism, which sees true nations as households, united by blood, tradition, and legislation, writ giant. See, as a result of all that capital requires complimentary elements to be able to use it, together with labor, in some unspecified time in the future the high-capital-production nation reaches a saturation stage the place it will possibly’t make the most of its capital in home manufacturing, the tariffs having no means and no intention of stopping this. At that time two issues occur: 1) there develops a really sturdy incentive to push for extra intensive automation and higher capital that may do extra with the identical quantity of labor, and a pair of) you get a spillover impact whereby capital begins to circulation to the third-world nations whose personal requirements of residing then rise even quicker. I say even quicker as a result of the growing effectivity of White/East Asian capital and client items enriches the remainder of the world as properly: both by the obsolete-to-us-but-not-to-them gear they get or by the more and more superior and low-cost items that we make (what number of rural Africans had a cellphone within the land-line period vs now when there are cheap cell telephones that use satellites?). And as I’ve mentioned, all that capital accumulation and technological development rely totally on preserving the variety of excessive IQ/low time desire and genius people excessive relative to the general inhabitants, be it on the nationwide or world scale, a situation the Nice Alternative is uniquely designed to undo.
Therefore, sarcastically, in battle between true nationalists and globalists it’s we, we who merely search to defend our peoples and nation, who’re unintentionally combating to extend the wealth of all nations whereas these opposing us, nominally within the identify of humanity as a complete, are combating for its impoverishment. Though we ought by no means to apologize for searching for our personal peoples and nations first, I hope that after as we speak we will really feel assured that, even when we lack the smug vanity to take action, we’d be wholly justified in demanding that these declare to oppose us out of affection for the world’s teaming plenty thank us for our efforts.
Thanks.
