Culturism Highlights

Chapter One – Culturism Introduced

• Multiculturalism says America has no core culture. Culturists know we do.
• Multiculturalism does not take cultural diversity seriously. Culturists do.
• Culturists recognize other culture’s right to define, protect and promote themselves and that we have the same rights in regard to our unique culture.
• Racism is stupid and dangerous. But diversity exists; it is more significant than food, fashion and festivals. Therefore, culture should be recognized as a legitimate policy consideration.
• Searching Muslims at airports is not racist, it is culturist. Our national security requires knowing the difference.
• Achievement gaps in economic and academic success are best explained by cultural diversity, not race. Those who stifle conversations by abusing the term “racism” harm minorities. Culturism allows us to talk seriously about diversity.
• Whereas racism and multiculturalism divide us, culturism unites us.

Chapter Two – Culturism in United States History

• From the Puritans on we have been a culturist nation concerned with moral decline.
• The 1924 Immigration Act was culturist in that it targeted Southern and Eastern Europeans.
• This is not a nation of immigrants as much as it is a nation of colonizers, settlers, and descendants of selected immigrants.
• Failure to distinguish race from culture makes us unable to understand issues such as Japanese relocation during World War Two.
• National security and solvency require that we recognize and reclaim our culturist traditions.

Chapter Three – Culturism in World History

• China is racist and that is their right.
• Islamic nations are theocratic and that is their right.
• Different cultures have different values and we cannot say whose are superior.
• Cultures compete. China competes with us economically, Islam threatens to destroy our culture and Mexico seeks to reclaim America’s Southwest.
• Western nations are not as Islamic as they are Christian. That is an easily refuted multiculturalist falsehood. The Middle East is Islamic.
• The West should be proud rather than guilty about what it has given the world.

Chapter Four – Culturism in Anthropology

• Diversity shows there is no such thing as human nature.
• Before Europeans arrived Native Americans had slavery, Aztecs conducted human sacrifice and cannibalism was widespread on the continent.
• Slavery, child brides, gang rape and constant warfare are normal.
• Multiculturalists underestimate diversity.
• If we do not guide our culture we should expect savagery and gang style behavior; Western civility is not the default behavior of mankind.

Chapter Five – Western Culture

• Rights, the separation of Church and State, democracy, individualism and free speech are only Western values. Other cultures disagree with these values.
• The secular progressive / religious divide can be solved by recognizing Athens and Jerusalem both hold the spirit higher than the body.
• Christianity is central to our values; there can be no separation of Mosque and State.
• No values can come from multiculturalism except vague tolerance. Culturism provides values based upon our history.
• Gay people and women should defend the West tooth and nail.

Chapter Six – Culturism in Nature

• We come into this world ready to absorb the values of the culture we are born into.
• We prefer Western culture because we were raised in it.
• Mankind has large brains in order to absorb culture. It is our duty and responsibility to teach it.
• As songs and bright colors do in animals, our flag, history and song demarcate us.
• Chimpanzees and other mammals bloodily guard their borders.
• Culturism is not just a man made system.

Chapter Seven – Culturism in Psychology

• The Rodney King riots show that groups can have maladaptive thoughts we need to address.
• If America does not provide a sense of being on a team, gangs will.
• Culturism can provide belonging and unity in schools in a way that multiculturalism cannot.
• Guiding public airwaves would be a way to convey that we have values.
• Zoning pornography to the outskirts of town teaches that we have values.
• Government should not be neutral in regards to values; lawmakers need to think as culturist psychologists. Rewarding out-of-wedlock childbirth teaches maladaptive lessons.

Chapter Eight – Culturism in Philosophy

• Philosophy turns people off because it no longer engages with society.
• The concept of “human rights” undermines our sense of being unique.
• Rights only exist in nations that believe in them and can afford them.
• If the West falls, rights will not exist anywhere.
• You cannot measure progress without a sense of the past.
• Philosophers should discuss how laws and arts can best uphold our traditions.

Chapter Nine – Culturism and Multiculturalism

• Multiculturalism divides us; only culturism can provide unity.
• Multiculturalism can lead to tribal warfare; culturism leads to peace.
• Multiculturalists deny that we have a core culture and so undermine Western civilization; culturists affirm that we have a core culture.
• Multiculturalists would have people look backwards. America is about looking forwards.
• The world is not getting more diverse, the West is.
• As most nations have culturist common sense, they are not willing to undertake the diversity experiment.
• If we want to experiment with making our society more diverse, we must scientifically monitor the positive and negative results.

Chapter Ten – Culturist Policy Implications

• The “human rights” concept undermines our sovereignty; we need to start thinking in terms of culturist rights.
• We need not be the only nation that recognizes the right to asylum; there is no international right to be in Western nations.
• Despite what multiculturalists say, Western nations are not just as Islamic as they are Christian. We have a right define and control our culture based on traditional Western cultural identity.
• Saudi Arabia has a right to not allow Christians to immigrate; we have a right to not allow any more Muslims to immigrate.
• Our culturist rights include the right to enforce our border laws, end dual citizenship, end sending money “back home” and insist on English use in many contexts.
• Culturist foreign policy is isolationist. Iran is entitled to their own culture, though not nuclear weapons.
• We need to take culturist sides in international disputes. We are on Israel’s side and Muslims are on the Palestinians’ side.
• We need to distinguish racial profiling from culturist profiling. Searching Muslims in airports has nothing to do with their race. Those who dress like gang members and listen to anti-social music may be criminals; this is culturist profiling, not racial profiling.
• Our schools should teach that the West is the best for us. Teaching that all cultures are the same undermines our unity, our sense of mission, and our ability to cultivate a sense of morals.
• The ACLU needs to recognize that individual rights only exist in societies that can afford and value rights. Individual rights need to be balanced out by cultural rights, or both may cease to exist. Schools, for example, which get sued for not meeting individual needs, may not be sustainable. We cannot abandon our culture because a single individual might be offended by it.
• The FCC needs to reassert its role of keeping public airwaves a safe-haven for children that asserts pro-social values.
• When people try to derail discussions of crime, poverty, immigration and school achievement by calling those who would discuss such issues “racist,” we need to make it clear that we are discussing culture, not race. We can do this and successfully guide Western civilization by calling ourselves “culturists” and saying we believe in “culturism.”
