Hobbit Nationalist Manifesto

The nature and form of geopolitical structures derives primarily from the state of political technology. Social forces and processes are accents and flourishes on a foundation of what technology renders necessary and/or possible, ultimately inferior to and bound by the military and economic consequences of political technology.

One can follow the transformative nature of political technology all the way back to the chariot, through the "gunpowder empires," into industrialization's decisive role in the American Civil War, and up to the most iconic example: the nuclear bomb. America is the last remaining "Nuclear Empire," its political structure and derivative social, economic, and metapolitical framing constructed upon an entirely obsolete technology that's both literally and figuratively gathering dust.

Becoming a 20th century nuclear state required exceptional scale. A state had to be expansive enough to host the complete stack of mining, refinement, industrial equipment, and scientific expertise. This led very rapidly to the Cold War geopolitical landscape; Atlantic, Eurasian, and East Asian superpowers functioning as Orwellian mega-states.

Formerly relevant and real political divisions became mere administrative jurisdictions. Canada is bullshit, an international legal fiction whose original reasons for being a separate geopolitical entity from the United States have been entirely forgotten and left behind. To varying and arguable extents, this has been the case well into Western Europe and all the way through Latin America.

These "westphalian" states still exist, with neither sovereignty at their borders nor coherent ethnic nations within their borders. They remain, but irrelevant and commoditized, of no interest beyond antiquarian appeals to "tradition," vapid jingoism, and petty patriotism. These states are interchangeable vehicles of logistical necessity.

Canada's McArthur River mine, the world's largest uranium mine, necessarily served the American Empire's nuclear appetite. Sovereignty was reduced to a polite fiction, with only the capitalist and zionist financiers exercising the sort of power that can be truly described as sovereign -- not beholden to or constrained by a more powerful entity.

For the past several centuries, power has steadily grown more centralized and hierarchical because the technologies, including financial instruments, have grown more complicated, sophisticated, and expensive, with more elaborate and convoluted procurement systems from the raw materials through the major components.

Since the development of the Internet in general and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm in particular, political technology has undergone a precipitous devolution, swiftly reversing the centralizing and imperial/colonial geopolitical megatrend that's been underway since the dawn of the Age of Discovery.

On paper, the United States is the most militarily powerful entity in the history of the world. And yet its abysmal track record in recent conflicts speaks for itself. It is wholly unprepared for the rapidly devolving and radically distributed world that's coming into being. What use are nuclear submarines and massive aircraft carriers in the Syrian conflict?

Nearly a decade ago, I made a hobby of directly selling bitcoins to people through the Local Bitcoins website. It was at the very outset of the Syrian War, and the levantine man trading his cash for bitcoins didn't talk politics until after the transaction was confirmed: I had accidentally helped ISIS launder money with cryptocurrency, ...from all the way up in Flint, Michigan.

I retired from that hobby shortly afterwards, concluding that the majority of my transactions were some flavor of illegal and/or immoral. It was an uncomfortably close brush with the powerful forces that are weakening the American Empire, both at its outer boundaries and in its own backyard.

Nowhere is this sea change in political technology more immediate than in media manipulation of popular opinion. Canada only existed in the first place because Quebec's Governor Carleton retained the loyalty and support of his local newspaper, while Benjamin Franklin and others managed to control the narrative in the thirteen lower colonies. How far would the French Revolution have gone without Jean-Paul Marat and his cohorts being permitted to agitate against the Ancien Regime?

Fourth Generation dissent, the majority of which is perfectly peaceful and difficult to pass or enforce laws against, threatens the American Empire in ways that the Chinese and Russian power blocs are innately less vulnerable. China is capable of controlling its press while ensuring that America's neocolonial oligarchs cannot control their own press, much less the South China Sea.

The American Empire still exists at the time of this writing, and is likely to continue to do so in steadily more commoditized and hollowed out forms. Just as the European Union is a poor imitation of the Holy Roman Empire, which is a poor imitation of the original Roman Empire, these political entities will likely to continue existing. They'll collect some taxes and tariffs and build and repair roads while the real loci of authority, power, and social control devolve to churches, civic organizations, fraternities, homeowner's associations, and minor "political parties."

It will prove impossible to achieve any political goals through supranational, imperial, colonial political vehicles; albeit the European Union, NATO, the United States federal government, or the jungle of QUANGOs and financial institutions that comprise the hydra of "Western Civilization." They will cease to be relevant for either our own interests or theirs, just as "Canada" and "Kentucky" have long been geopolitically inert jurisdictional phenomena.

It is possible, by luck or coincidence, for some of the legacy jurisdictions to overlap with organic aspirations for common political expression. Hungary may succeed in being for the Hungarians, Utah may succeed in being for the Mormons, and New Hampshire may be overwhelmed by neckbearded libertarians. But those with aspirations of geopolitical agency shouldn't presume that any of these legacy boundaries that stand in their way are necessarily real or worth fighting over.

This implies that there's promise in bottom-up, grassroots approaches that begin with becoming competent and coherent collectives and then intelligently balancing authenticity and growth against state oppression, sneaking a step or two further forward with each degradation in the competence and control of the derelict nuclear mega-state.

As long as these collectives abide by the "moral pidgin" of international ethics, there's little the state can do to impede our survival. It is necessary to develop a moral grammar that would incline America's competitors to sympathize and side with us if it were to aggressively persecute us. The firm majority of "White Nationalists" are too myopic, parochial, and racially chauvinistic to understand or accept this necessary development, and must be actively chased off.
