Is this going to be the new thing now? “Baizuo”?
*groans*
The year is 2064. Having given up on America and Europe, the last remaining members of the Alt Right undergo racial alteration surgery and genetic splicing to join Chairman Liu’s Neo-Chinese Empire, a governmental franchise operating seven megacities on the Asia-Pacific rim.
As a security officer at the front of the Empire’s fight against the Pan-Islamic Caliphate, a sort of distributed theocratic government with enclaves throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, Victor Fang (born Richard Spencer, many years ago) is returned to Hong Kong after being injured by an IED, but he’s about to find out just how deep the Caliph’s conspiracies run…
Discourse Questions
- What is the value, positive or negative, of a racial ethnostate in a world where race is mutable?
- Do the Alt Right and White Nationalists value whiteness as a terminal value, or merely as a means to other ends? If they could, would they abandon it for some other race to obtain racial solidarity? Would they adopt another heritage, just to have one?
- Will governance become something marketable, that can be purchased by democratic polities and multinational conglomerates?
- Could enclaves of Islamic Law form in Europe in order to try and maintain Liberalism? The idea of sub-groups with their own laws is not unprecedented, after all.
- What are the implications if jurisdictions break down into various self-governing ethnic groups, united not by the larger territories they live in but through religion and ethnicity as experienced over the Internet?
- Can Richard Spencer ever be redeemed? What would it take to redeem him?
Write a 5-page call-out blog post based on answering one of these six topics and submit it to Tumblr Dot Com.
The submission form for your callout post can be found at http://argumate.tumblr.com. For full credit, please address your callout to a hypothetical Tumblr user named “Argumate” for disagreeing with whatever your opinion may be. Remember to refuse to read or respond to any counter-arguments, and instead double down on refuted positions and behave like someone with zero reading comprehension, becoming increasingly irate as it turns out the callout subject did not say what you claimed they did.
