Weapons of Mass Distraction:

Disparaging "Negativity"

--- Kevin Walsh, NACAZAI Editor 

Many of us who have criticized Zionism, imperialism, and their associated evils have been accused of being "negative" and "hateful." In political campaigns, "negative campaigning" is supposed to be bad, if we listen to the mainstream media. Even some of our allies fall for this nonsense and cringe before accusations of negativity. April Gaede, for example, likes to say that her family's music is positive about white people and not negative about anyone.

As much as I admire Mrs. Gaede and her daughters, she's inadvertently telling a half-truth there. To be positive about white people implies being negative about that which is injurious to white people. In all fairness to Mrs. Gaede, however, she probably hasn't studied the dialectic. To be positive about one thing means to be negative about the alternatives. To be negative about one thing means to be positive about the alternatives. Loving one thing means hating the alternatives. Hating one thing means loving the alternatives. Anyone who cares about an issue is being both positive and negative, expressing both love and hatred. If someone accuses you of being "negative" or "hateful," that person is certainly a hypocrite unless that person is totally indifferent to everything. What such people are truly implying is, "That which I consider positive is more important than that which you consider positive. My opinion is better than yours." When the imperialists and Zionists tell us that, it means we're probably thinking correctly.

None of us should be ashamed to be called negative and hateful, because they go hand-in-hand with being positive and loving. I am proud to be negative and hateful. I am negative about Zionism and imperialism, because I am positive about national self-determination. I hate Jews and capitalists, because I love people who are willing to earn a living by honest work. I am negative about globalism, because I am positive about national economic self-sufficiency. I hate immigrants, because I love the national integrity of my European-American people (even if I often question their judgment).

Let's ignore the accusations of "negativity and hatred," and concentrate on whether we are negative and hateful about the right people and things.
