Longtermism

by David Sims

WHITE NATIONALIST PHILOSOPHY HAS a strong component of longtermism, which author William MacAskill defines as “the idea that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time.” The idea is that the people who live in the future are just as valuable, per capita and on average, as are the people who live presently. And since there will be more people in the future than live in the present, the moral thing to do is act primarily for their benefit, rather than selfishly for our own.

It’s like parents making sacrifices for their children, except extended to all the generations to come. MacAskill writes, “Because the arrow of time makes it so much easier to help people who come after you than people who come before, the best way of understanding the partnership of the generations may be asymmetrical, with duties all flowing forwards in time — paying it forwards. On this view, our duties to future generations may thus be grounded in the work our ancestors did for us when we were future generations.”

That is a thoroughly nationalist way of looking at moral duties. It is in stark contrast to the communist viewpoint, which is to throw off any and all such duty and work for the destruction of family and of race, and of anything else that might interfere with your loyalty to the communist political bosses.

My projected science-fiction series (which begins with Divine Heritage) endorses longtermism with the colonization of the Universe with the Life of Earth by Brenda Lynn Jones, whose original incarnation was a girl who grew up on Earth, acquired the powers of a pagan goddess, and used those powers to create the Solar System Empire, which was the first step in the aforementioned intergalactic colonization project.

The other essential idea, which, combined with longtermism, becomes White nationalism is that some people are worth more than others, and that resources should be allocated to foster the increase of ability, of merit, rather than be used as a palliative for neediness.

Wikipedia has articles on key concepts that seem to be mostly objective and as-yet untarnished by the politically “woke” tar brush.

The war on Longtermism has already begun (most likely because the Jewish power structure realizes the implications you’ve come to regarding its inherent Racialist nationalism). It’s in the subtle “deploy the ‘grassroots’ lackeys!” stage but it has begun. They’ve identified guys like Elon Musk as Longtermists, and are trying to head them off early. I may of course be seeing Jews under every dusty rug, but I couldn’t help but notice that this philosophy starts to become more known and then we start seeing videos like the link below. I haven’t yet watched the full video but early on she dismisses Longtermism as a philosophy of “the rich”, which in any kosher outlet I read as “Whites who’ve become successful enough to be a potential threat to the Jewish power… Read more »

I’m surprised how many people miss the essential part of preserving the White race. Sure it starts with you & making children however one must think many generations ahead. As a young child I was somewhat confused when my grandparents would give me something & say “give this to your grandchildren, tell them it’s from us, that we love them. Tell them to give it to their grandchildren, to say the same thing.” In early adulthood it finally dawned on me, they were trying to instill ancestral/racial memory as far down the line as realistically possible. They gave me all the knowledge & stories to pass down, the physical item helps with making the connection by holding something rather than just reading a name in a family tree. Although it’s… Read more »
