My larger concern, and very certainly the larger concern of the Dissident Right (which I must distinguish in this way because ‘conservatism’, now, often does not seem to have concern and conserves little if anything), revolves around the larger idea of the existence of and the survival of Europe.Biology is entirely relevant to notions of race and proper identity. If you want to counter the notion that race is a social construct then present objective facts rather than an endless parade of opinion from racists and white supremacists.
It is quite possible that other nations and regions have intellectual classes that are concerned for cultural and social survival, but in my case my focus of interest has been in the Occident, and thus my categories of concern are OccidentalM as I have made crystal-clear.
Europe, as I hope is obvious to you, is really a metaphysical notion if we were to be precise. The *idea of Europe* is an idea, a vision, an ideal, a concept. It should be obvious to you (and if it is not I won’t be able to help you) that the most important categories that I talk about are categories that have to do with both metaphysics and, when it comes to *spiritual realities*, with the transcendental.
Biology, as such, is not irrelevant and this should be quite obvious. Except biology as a reduction, tarted up into something it isn’t and can’t be, is.
If by *biology* you mean the physical structure in which we all live our life. It would be impossible to say that our body is irrelevant. Our body is our heredity. And heredity is a complex idea and not mere something to be reduced to *biology*.
But there is more to a body, and to the locale where a given body has existence, and to the heredity of that people, than what you mean to imply when you use biology as a reductionism.
I do not regard ‘race’ and the substantial differences between people, which largely developed on the various continents, as irrelevant, though I do understand that you indeed do. And as I say there is a modern ideology which asserts that the *body* is exactly the same wherever it might be located, even if it is uprooted and transported, dropped, somewhere else. That is what biological reductionism will do, of course.
But we need to clarify what we are talking about when we talk about the Culture Wars and the modern crises that are now manifesting blatantly and I think undeniably.
Ultimately, in my view, we are talking about IDENTITY. And related to identity is the idea, and the fact, of ownership and control, but also heredity, cultural purpose, social and cultural trajectory, and a great many additional things — all of them extending far above mere *biology*.
If identity is weakened, and if it is eliminated or defeated, one will have no means to defend oneself. In a sense one ceases to actually exist, if existence is understood to be a metaphysical process and event, which really it is.
And in the current, modern project which I have indicated as being post-Sixties, one can easily discover and label the project of undermining American identity. And pages have been written about the how and why. This project, as it were, is connected with a range of different trends and influences (social, economic, military, industrial, global). But the important thing to say about it is to focus on it as an outcome: what results from it (or what is resulting from it).
And what results from it, what is resulting from it, is the destruction and the undermining of Caucasian-European America. And there is a present danger to Europe as well (and other place I assume). For this reason I describe (and we describe) the project of Americanism and of the Americanopolis in the critical terms that I do.
