“Universalist” White Men Never Have Words on White Supremacy

Silence on white extremism in the wake of a white supremacist murder spree proves the intent of “Universalist” white men

Nothing from “Universalist” White Males?

In current events, a white supremacist white man named Payton Gendron ran off and murdered ten Black people, with the explicitly white supremacist intent on killing nothing but Black people, and more. This occurred in Buffalo New York.

Because our classically white supremacist mainstream media enjoys providing cover and concealment for kinetic-action-oriented white supremacists like this mass murderer, he felt the need to explicitly outline his intent in a manifesto.

We, as Black people, have talked about white genocide mythologies. We’ve talked about Black folk’s mental health and pathological forgiveness. We’ve talked about domestic terrorism. Latin folk has spoken on white supremacist manifestos. But we can’t be the only ones, right?

Where are these universalists?

This mass murder — this killing spree — is due to a prevailing white supremacist ideology in our United States. Using the words of those who call themselves “universalists”, Payton Gendron with his white supremacist self is an “identitarian.”

With this idea in mind, I took a look at Medium’s residential universalists, which always are random-ass, weak argument-building white men, and pondered what they had to say.

Nothing.

Not a gottdamn thing.

Not one white bamma calling himself a universalist has anything to say about a white identitarian who went on a decidedly white identitarian killing spree.

Easily, I check the intellectual labor, albeit weak intellectual labor, of one of these white male universalists who frequently abuses tagging such as “anti-racism” to pop up on my feed. His name rhymes with some-hag whore-jock. Also rhymes with Phil Getterly.

Nothing. Not. A. Gott. Damn. Thing.

This is a bit baffling because if people like Will Shetterly, or “Comrade Morlock” were actually universalists, as in, they seek to shatter concepts they place under the frame they manufactured called “identitarianism”, they would jump at the call here.

Like, a whole-ass white supremacist went on a killing spree for white identity. How are YOU, not talking about this?

They should be analyzing, assessing, and breaking down why and how white supremacy should be abolished. Why whiteness should be abolished. I mean…universalists, right?

A true universalist who seeks to eradicate identitarianism — in the frame they speak, would be the first and should be the best, to call out white supremacy, white fragility, and white extremism who murder masses of Black people just because they ain’t white. But they are not true; they are false.

A universalist should, *ahem*, be universal in the application of their reasoning, no?

But nothing. Nothing but silence. There’s more noise in Payton Gendron’s neckbeard.

A true universalist would have profound arguments to deter, degrade and destroy great replacement theory — a cornerstone of American white supremacist ideology.

But they don’t. There's…nothing.

“Universalist” is just a Cover for “Clandestine White Supremacist”

How come universalists, who all seem to be nothing but white cisgender heterosexual men of varying ages, don’t jump at tearing down white supremacist identities?

How come they don’t talk about whiteness?

How come they don’t tear down great replacement theory?

After all, one would argue they would be the best at doing that unabated, in the same fashion how Black people are the best at holding Black people accountable.

The best opponent of white supremacy is a sociologically de-programmed (i.e., “woke”) white person with all their intellectual guns aimed at white supremacy.

So why don’t they do it?

You Do What You Are

A while back ago, I wrote on why Donald Trump could not disavow the Proud Boys, which is a neo-fascist white supremacist terror group.

You cannot disavow who you are.

These universalists who write on Medium are merely white supremacy propagandists who operate in a clandestine manner. Universalists are clandestine-operating white supremacists who exist in fairly liberal, often perversions of progressive language to subvert progressive institutions, positions, and outcomes. Kinda like spies.

Bullshitting, lying-ass, racism-enabling spies.

The common phrase is “you are what you do”, but I’m a flipper so from me it’s “you do what you are.” These intellectually grotesque white men of amateur deception do what they do — bullshit — because that is who they are at their core. They are not what they do, they do what they are.

Liars. Deceivers. Bullshitters.

They take things spoken by progressive folk, like say Frederick Douglass, and use them out of context.

Liars. Deceivers. Bullshitters.

They take Bible verses and cite them without an understanding of the whole chapter or book it’s from, often leaving out trailing or prior parts for actual context.

Liars. Deceivers. Bullshitters.

And ultimately, these white male universalists use the cover of “universalist” because it is a superficial means to deter, degrade and disintegrate Black people on a mental, and spiritual level. They demonize and anathematize Black people who merely know and acknowledge the fact that we are Black in a white supremacist nation, a nation that routinely disregards our lives at all three stages of government (local, state, and federal) and the full horizontal spectrum of political power (e.g., law enforcement, prison industrial complex, medicine, etc.).

Liars. Deceivers. Bullshitters.

Overall

The concept of Universalist is only an identity descriptor that uses counterfeit progressive language as a means to provide cover to shit on Black people, women, Black women, Latin folk, Asian folk, LGBTQ folk, and anyone who is not a cisgender-heterosexual white male.

Identity descriptor. One cannot be against identity while adhering to another whole identity descriptor. These people are walking contradictions for the “identity” of “universalist” is an identity, which makes it a literal paradox.

A fucking paradox. It cannot exist. But hey…it’s not like modern white conservatives ever let rules of logic get in their way, but I digress.

How do I deduce this? Because in strategic warfare you are defined by not only what you target, but what you do not target.

Case in point, the identity of police in America is not defined by noble words on the quarter panel of their cruisers, but by their actions and inactions. Police are defined by routinely targeting Black people, murdering unarmed Black people in broad daylight (chosen actions), and the fact they capture active white men on killing sprees with a fresh body count alive (chosen inactions).

You are defined by your actions and inactions. I am defined by my actions and inactions. And so are they — these white men calling themselves “universalists”.

In the end, in the wake of a white supremacist murdering scores of Black people, you will never find a Will Shetterly, Comrade Morlock, Johan Sigg, or whatever these guys are calling themselves actually calling out white supremacy or white supremacists in any meaningful way.

They are not going to disavow themselves. They defend whiteness, no different ideologically than your white extremist murdering Black people. You will never hear any of these intellectually mediocre white men call a white supremacist an “identitarian” as they do Black people, LGBTQ, and everyone else. This is because they hold the whiteness as universally human while everyone else are deviants from that white supremacist standard.

Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hold their feet to the fire, however. Always demand higher standards, even when dealing with intellectually deficient, substandard men like these.
