Apology

7. 7. 2024.

This past week on X (Twitter), someone accused me of being “basic” because of my bio on the site. At the time, it read “Wife. Dissenter. Reject the global, revere the local.” I realized over the course of that conversation that ultimately they were correct. I have been active online in political circles for well over a decade at this point. Many folks throw “free-thinker” or “dissenter” into their descriptions or even their social media handles, but depressingly few people who use labels like those are anywhere near what they claim to be. In fact, I have said on record quite a few times over the years that people who use language like “free-thinking”, “I’m not this side or that side”, etc. are usually the opposite, and always ultimately take a side. So, that individual who prodded me over “dissenter” was indeed, correct. What does that even mean? It sounds like thousands of other people, and is usually meaningless. A change was made shortly after this conversation.

My worldview journey is quite a common one, one that perhaps I will also write about at some point. After this conversation, I realized if I was going to add something to my bio to replace a simple “dissenter” label - it should be succinct and capture my beliefs. Pro-White in this day and age was the obvious choice. Many online talking heads pontificate all day about how “based” they are, but when pushed they cower in a corner spouting egalitarian nonsense and meaningless platitudes. A pathetic amount of folks in the online Right spaces - as much as they make fun of the Left for this - have never moved past 2016. And they will not. They are afraid.

I am not afraid.

The quiet part has been said out loud for a very long time, so to speak.

I created a X (Twitter) thread this weekend that shared the story of how my father beat stage four cancer with my mother dutifully by his side. It is never the posts you expect to go viral that do. Many of the comments at first were sharing their stories of loved ones also fighting cancer, sending congratulations to our family, sending prayers, etc.

However - at some point eight or so hours after my thread was made, people started to notice my bio on my profile. In a very unsurprising turn of events - I started receiving quotes that were violent and threatening. This one was the most blatant:

As mentioned previously on this post - I have been on the internet for a long time. Threats and violent comments like these happen, that’s the reality of the internet. I am not clutching my pearls over that, so do not misunderstand me. After the post took a turn, I added to my thread. I was already receiving threats for my bio, which only confirmed my decision to be unapologetically pro-White is necessary.

I know many folks will say that isn’t necessary, but the tide is changing. For every person who started to quote post or reply calling me all manner of over-used attempts at insults: racist, White supremacist, etc - there were people resonating with what I added. After I added to my thread saying I am not ashamed of who I am - people doubled down on the threats and attempts at insults. I rest my case.

Social media is a fun side project for me - I have responsibilities in real life, of course. To see over a thousand people follow me despite my bio, many replying supporting it - says something. No one who is calling me names or attacking my race was ever going to suddenly like me anyway- that would be absurd. So, they simply do not matter. I would never threaten anyone else. I do not need to. Evidently, my existence and not hating myself is enough. So what does that say?

So, where is my apology?

There will never be one.

I am not sorry that over the years, I have come to realize that many historically White nations worldwide are being purposefully torn to pieces and made unrecognizable. I am not sorry for being unapologetically unashamed of who I am - which yes, as with every other group of people (and folks are just fine with when they do so)- includes my race. I am not sorry that the decades of propaganda that were shoved into my adolescent brain on a consistent basis did not stick. I am not sorry that you have been so trained to believe that attacking someone for being “racist” will cause them to immediately fall to your feet and apologize. In fact, there is a chance that’s why you bothered to read this post. I pity you, but that is never happening.

If you are reading this as a White person tired of walking on eggshells because anything you do can be turned into “you’re evil” - the pro-White in my bio is for you. You don’t have to be ashamed. Be proud. There is nothing wrong with you and there is nothing wrong with your ancestors.

Cheers, Mack
