Word of the Day : Ethnomasochism
March 15, 2009
From Guillaume Faye posting at François Desouche:
(Translation by, and HT to, Gallia Watch)
Ethnomasochism
(It is) the masochistic tendency to regard with a sense of guilt and a sense of worthlessness one’s own ethnic group, one’s own people.
Ethnomasochism is similar to shame of oneself and self-hatred. It is a collective psychopathology, triggered by a long propaganda effort to foster a presumed fundamental sense of guilt felt by Europeans vis-à-vis other peoples, of whom they are assumed to be the “oppressors”. It is therefore necessary to repent and to “pay the debt.” This effort at repentance, a veritable historical sham, has been undertaken by the Churches, as well as by the European States.
Ethnomasochism is also the basis of anti-natalistic policies that surreptitiously aim to limit the reproduction of European populations. Implicitly then, it can be likened to a type of “self-racism”. The European man can be said to have been struck down by an original sin, an intrinsic racial stain: he is guilty of being what he is.
Ethnomasochism provokes the systematic defense of cross-breeding (“métissage) and cosmopolitanism. Curiously, it denies to Europeans the idea of ethnic identity, but grants it to others. Europeans are duty-bound to dilute themselves, but other peoples, Africans for example, are not. Ethnomasochism is the counterweight of xenophilia (love and overestimation of the foreigner, the “other”). It is related to ethno-suicide.
In history, ethnomasochism is not new; it was the symptom of peoples tired of life, tired of perpetuating themselves; of aging peoples who pass the torch to others. The European elite are afflicted with this collective illness. And this illness explains the laxness towards the colonization by migrants and the idea that we have both a duty and a need to welcome the new occupiers.
In the Original French:
Ethnomasochisme
Tendance masochiste à culpabiliser et à dévaloriser sa propre ethnie, son propre peuple.
L’ethnomasochisme s’apparente à la honte et à la haine de soi. C’est une psychopathologie collective, provoquée par un long travail de propagande en faveur d’une prétendue culpabilité fondamentale des peuples européens face aux autres, dont ils seraient les « oppresseurs ». Il faudrait donc se repentir et « payer la dette ».Ce travail de repentance, véritable imposture historique, est entamé aussi bien par les Eglises que par les Etats européens.
L’ethnomasochisme est aussi à la base des politiques anti-natalistes qui visent subrepticement à limiter la reproduction des populations européennes. Implicitement, il s’assimile donc à un « auto-racisme ». L’homme européen serait frappé par un péché originel, une tare raciale intrinsèque, il serait coupable d’être ce qu’il est.
L’ethnomasochisme provoque l’apologie systématique du métissage et du cosmopolitisme. Curieusement, il dénie aux Européens l’idée d’identité ethnique mais l’accorde aux autres. Les Européens ont le devoir de se diluer, mais pas les autres, pas les Africains par exemple. L’ethnomasochisme est le pendant de la xénophilie (l’amour et la survalorisation de l’étranger, de « l’autre »). Il s’apparente à un ethno-suicide.
Dans l’histoire, l’ethnomasochisme n’est pas nouveau ; il fut le symptôme des peuples las de vivre et de se perpétuer ; des peuples vieillissants qui passent le relais à d’autres. Les élites européennes sont atteintes de cette maladie collective. Cette dernière explique le laxisme envers la colonisation migratoire et l’idée selon laquelle nous aurions à la fois le devoir et le besoin d’accueillir les nouveaux occupants.

Dear Readers,
The Government and its Agencies in their infinite wisdom seem to feel that People must submit to their obnoxious surveys without hesitation. In Friday’s Adelaide Advertiser there was this disturbing story:
AN 85-year-old stroke victim and his 80-year-old wife have been threatened with fines of $110 for every day they refuse to be part of an Australian Bureau of Statistics employment survey.
[HT to Peter Martin]
Yes Readers, apparently some clipboard waving goon feels quite comfortable threatening an elderly invalid couple with fines for failing to answer questions in a largely irrelevant survey. The article goes on with the officious ABS jobsworth stating:
ABS assistant director of population surveys Rod Smith told The Advertiser the Van Den Berg circumstances were still relevant to the survey because some octogenarians were still in the workforce.
Mr Smith said he would obtain more information about their circumstances and try to make the information collection less intrusive.
“The survey is one which gives us the monthly unemployment figure and it is a stocktake of people who could work,” he said.
“So we go out and ask people if they are looking for work and with the ageing population the people who are past the retirement age and looking for work is growing.”
Mr Smith said the questions could be answered by a family representative and he had been made more aware of the couple’s medical circumstances after his letter threatening the fine.
“We are not a big-stick organisation and we don’t prosecute willy nilly,” he said.
No but you do seem to threaten people willy nilly, don’t you Mr Smith? And I notice that there is no option to opt out of the survey all together. When exactly did the Public Service become our Masters? Did we lose a War?
And the attitude of Peter Martin, economic commentator at The Age is also noteworthy, when he entitled his post : “Meanwhile the ABS is doing its best… …to get good statistics” and in his comments stated that: “But it is very important that the ABS gets complete co-operation, even from 80+ year olds. Otherwise the results will get even less meaningful.”
For the technocratic New Elite who dominate us in our Government and in our Media – “co-operation” means unquestioning obedience to whatever mad, Utilitarian schemes they have planned for us and woe betide anyone who asks why or questions the necessity of their Great Plans and their unending Need to quantify and control all aspects of Our Lives.
Question: Readers please say to what extent you agree or disagree with the preceeding statements:
Responses: 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=neither agree nor disagree, 4=agree, 5=strongly agree.
Yours sincerely,
