Should Everyone Be Proud of Their Culture?

by | Nov 16, 2024

Did the culture which produced the HAKA song produce beautiful buildings, great educational centers, universal access to MRI machines, telephones, great books, gay marriage rights, and emails?

The left has impossible standards for white countries and no standards for non-whites.

I see no way this can benefit any of the races long-term.

One group gets unapologetic pride in their accomplishments, the other gets only collective shame.

This is why I published The Voluntaryist Handbook, I want people to have a narrative to get behind which isn’t based on race or monetary income.

    If it is one they personally adopt and subscribe to as individuals, then yes. Of course, that still does not mean that such ‘pride’ is ethically justified. If on the other hand; which I fear is the norm for the majority, it is a culture they have sycophantically and obediently conformed to, like a chameleon changing color to blend with its surroundings, just to be accepted unit of the herd, then they have no reason to be ‘proud’ of this or anything else. Personal acceptance of responsibility is the true key to pride and regrettably the majority of the human race shirk responsibility and instinctively cringe away from it like a mythical vampire from sunlight.
