The Alt-Right's Cartoon Conceptions of the Human Past: Now Do You Understand Why the Fetishization of "Fringe" Ideas Matters?

1/29/2017

35 Comments

 
I hate to be the "we told you so" guy, but that's what I'm going to be: 

We told you so.

Those of us who have studied the recent resurgence of pseudo-scientific ideas about the human past have been saying for years that this stuff isn't just entertainment. Conceptions about what happened in the past matter deeply to the present, as our orientation toward the world (and particularly its peoples) necessarily depends on an understanding of how the world got to be what it is. We explain the present by reference to the past. That's why getting it right matters. That's why we've developed scientific methods for understanding the past that employ mechanisms to determine if our interpretations are right or wrong.

With the Trump administration barely a week old, you're already seeing seeing the effects of disregarding evidence-based reality and crafting federal policy based on ideologies about the human past. So . . . it's "funny" when it's on the History Channel but not so "funny" when it's keeping real humans detained in airports indefinitely.

As alarming as it is to see it materialize at the highest levels of our government, the white supremacist ideology that we're now watching surface is nothing new.  It's been around since long before any of us was born -- at least since the age of European exploration and colonialism- -- and has manifest itself in different forms at different times and places. The "white people are naturally the best people" assertion has been a steady constant in pseudo-scientific claims about the human past from the early 1800's right up to the present day. Some of the current proponents of Victorian-age baloney ideas about Atlantis, Aryans, giants, and the pre-Columbian colonization of the Americas by white people are unabashed racists and neo-Nazis.  And now we've elevated them from selling factually inaccurate, heavily plagiarized books on CreateSpace to whispering in the president's ear.

If you want to know what the alt-right thinks about the origins of race and what it has to do with government and economics, listen to this podcast titled "The Origins of the White Man." In it, Richard Spencer (an alt-right figure most famous for leading Trump supporters in a Nazi salute immediately following the election, and, more recently, getting punched in the face twice in one day while celebrating Trump's inauguration) interviews Kevin MacDonald (a retired psychology professor and current editor of the Occidental Observer, a white nationalist publication).
The pair discuss the origins of white people, what makes white people special, and why they think white people need to stick together to protect white people interests. What was most astounding to me was not the factual inaccuracies (there were many) or the ridiculous facade of scholarship manufactured by having a former professor pontificate on a subject he doesn't really understand, but the cartoonish quality of the conclusions of these clowns. It's a ridiculous conversation, only one step removed from attributing the perceived greatness of white people to their special origins in an Aryan Atlantis. Try having a 45-minute conversation with a four-year-old about how electricity works -- maybe that would be a good simulation of what's it like for a professional anthropologist/archaeologist to listen to this nonsense. Unsurprisingly, the origins story that they fetishize isn't original, but resonates with white supremacist mythologies that have been around for a long time (and that constitute the barely-submerged thesis of many "alternative archaeology" programs promoted in places like The History Channel).

One thing I did learn from listening to the interview is that the white supremacist ideology of the alt-right does have a logical connection to their ideas about government, economics, and immigration. If your reaction to the anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies that we're seeing is that "it's all about hate," I will tell that it's more than that. I encourage you to listen to the interview that I linked to above and hear for yourself how the alt-right's ideas about race, society, government, and economics are inter-linked.  Speaking in the context of claims that the success of white European societies can be attributed to their tripartite structure (a merchant class, a warrior class, and "those who pray"), Spencer identifies what he thinks is wrong with the United States (about 25:00 in): ​
"We've lost that . . . maybe that Aryan or warrior component, that type of person who wants to guard the gates, who is willing to confront 'the other," . . . who has a kind of meritocratic as opposed to egalitarian worldview.  We basically have societies that are focused on a kind of spiritualism that says this egalitarian morality that we all embrace, but also gives a tremendous amount of power (far too much, in my opinion) to the bourgeois element -- people who think in terms of buying and selling. Conservatives are really excited about taxes and small business regulation. You know, maybe they're right about all that stuff, but who cares? We've taken the power away from those types of people who naturally want to rule -- that Aryan spirit."
That quote, I think, helps explain why traditional Republican approaches to "pro-business, pro-growth" policies have been relegated to the kids' table while the white supremacists in the Oval Office try to engineer a re-making of government that restores a mythological tripartite balance to our society. They see liberal immigration policy as something deferential to the role of the merchant class and harmful to the cause of producing an ethnically-strong nation. They see in Trump someone who will use flamboyant signature to "guard the gates" and elevate those in the warrior class who are willing to confront "the other."

It's about intolerance, sure, but it's a philosophical, strategic intolerance that goes well beyond some kind of visceral reaction to all non-white people. I think we need to understand that. And I don't think it's irrelevant that the blueprint for society that we're now seeing stamped across our political and economic landscape is drawn directly from claims about the human past that are demonstrably baloney. I winced when Rachel Maddow showed Spencer's post-election speech and kept smirking at his use of the phrase "Children of the Sun."  Neither she nor any other member of the mainstream media caught the deep historical connection to the white supremacist rhetoric of hyperdiffusionism. If you don't know what it is, look it up.  Fringe history is in the White House now, and you should know where the "harmless" ideas come from -- it matters.

Partisan politics will have you defend your proponents and disparage your opponents in all matters, never seeing their true balance, as it is such perspective which dictates your resolve; which tends toward sloppiness and lack of acuity.

I cannot remember where I read it, but the 2016 election was a classic case of the Left and the Right's views converging with terrible result. Both groups decided that Hillary Clinton needed to loose, and now we have to live with the consequences.

Nothing that Trump is doing should be any surprise, he said it all during the Election campaign.

Hi Joe,

Would you be arguing for "true balance" if someone were to try to base public policy on the assertion that the Kensington Rune Stone was a valid medieval land claim?

I think it's pretty clear in this case that one side has embraced the strategic telling and retelling of falsehoods far more than the other. Pointing that out isn't being partisan, it's being honest.

Partisans always feel they are right. They are correct. Their view is the encapsulation of truth. It will make you sloppy and it will turn this place into a cesspool.

The great thing about science is that it's self-correcting and therefore cumulative: ideas that can be shown to be false through evidence-based analysis can be discarded. In the long run, it doesn't really matter what you "feel." I still accept that there are such things as facts, and those facts can show a claim to be false. Political ideas, no matter where they come from, aren't so special that they are immune from criticism.

Exactly, but I have also found that the Rights interference in science is obvious, crude and relatively easy to counter.

The Left tends to couch its interference in the language of inclusiveness, and is much more subtle, but eventually you find yourself dealing with people like Ivan van Sertima who make unsupportable claims not all that different from the Rights, but who find it easier to fly under the radar.

Welcome to Post-Factlandia; and alternate reality in which anything repeated often enough is deemed to be truth. A land where whichever pronouncement is made most recently by the leaders has the force of law until they contradict themselves with something that replaces it. A nation in which history is rewritten to fit one's private delusions and where footnotes are illegal.

Yeah, okay, maybe I am exaggerating, but not by much; no when "Alternative facts" is a defense. To use Orwell's Newspeak, it is double ungood.

How about launching an investigation into voter fraud when there is absolutely zero evidence that it occurred?

How about banning travel of citizens from countries that have not been responsible for a single terrorist attack in this country, while continuing to allow travel from those that have?

Why would anyone, let alone a professional scientist, be against a real investigation into voter fraud? How would such an investigation be a threat to anybody? The fact is we know it occurs. We don't know how often it occurs, or how much of an effect it has on election outcomes. But, isn't that worth investigating if someone is interested in doing so?

To your second example....whether or not refugees from the countries included in the travel ban have yet to commit acts of terrorism in the U.S. is irrelevant. Only one country listed in the travel ban has an effective, centralized government, and that country, Iran, is a state sponsor of terrorism. How do you vet people from countries that don't keep records keeping in mind that various terrorist groups have promised to take advantage of the refugee exodus? It could very well be that no legal resident from any of these countries ever commits an act of terror on U.S. soil, but ISIS operatives planting themselves inside a mass refugee migration is a real threat.

Thank you for your examples. If these are the best you can provide you seem to be overreaching in your outrage. Neither of these seem to have anything to do with white supremacist ideology.

An opposite argument could be made. If one accepts the premise that Caucasians hold the majority of power and privilege in this country, then would it not stand to reason that Caucasians have the most to gain by rigging and engineering elections? Wouldn't an investigation into voter fraud be to the advantage of minority populations?

If the travel ban has anything to do with white supremacy, then it is the worst plan of its kind ever conceived.... Ban travel from 7 predominantly Muslim countries for a mere 90 days, but do nothing to hinder travel from the other 25 or so predominantly Muslim countries with effective governments....how does that advance a white supremacy agenda?

I'm not trying to be adversarial. I honestly do not understand your viewpoint here. Admittedly, I probably am not looking at this from all angles, but I don't see how either of these examples hurt anyone once you remove agenda-driven spin from the equation.

Joe, I appreciate your concern. I write about what I want, and I only spend as much time or energy on it as I want.

B L, I think you're missing my point. My point is that the white supremacy narrative, the way it's told by the two in the interview, is undergirded by interpretations of the past that are baloney. They use those interpretations to craft their vision of what needs to change. That kind of thinking - that you can base policy on bad information - is readily apparent in our new administration. Why not also investigate whether all the unicorns in the country voted illegally? Why not also ban citizens from Canada, since they just had a terrorist attack there? In my book, there should be some connection between reality and action. That's my opinion, anyway.

Andy you are not qualified to be discussing politics. You can't even get your investigations on here done correctly. You probably just watch CNN and get your news spoon feed to you. Zero evidence, right dude you haven't done investigation to know that there is lots of evidence if you know where to look. Time will reveal more same with the other issues we have been discussing. And your solution is for banning people from countries with no terrorist is probably the most idiotic thing you've ever said. Thats a new high bar for you. Congratulations Andy!

Mainstream media accounts of politicians in California (and elsewhere) openly encouraging illegal aliens to register and vote don't qualify as "evidence" ?

You SJWs truly do inhabit a parallel world of alternate "facts."

Beginning with the thoroughly UN-scientific operating assumption that absence of proof warrants disbelief rather than agnosticism. If it did, no one would take the theory of evolution seriously -- no missing links, no "proof," no credence.

Worse, clear and convincing evidence that sexual (M/F) and ethnic differences weigh profoundly on information processing are declared heretical via ad hominem smear ("racist !") and ignored.

The height of it is when mobs of violent fascists attack those who disagree with them, calling THEM "fascists."

"Alternate facts" INDEED !

Okay, I think I understand now. You're not going so far as to suggest that the Trump administration is carrying out a white supremacist agenda. You're simply saying that what you recognize as Trump's faulty decision making is similar to the faulty decision making process you see used by many including the two white supremacists you specifically cite. Thank you for clarifying for me.

"How about banning travel of citizens from countries that have not been responsible for a single terrorist attack in this country, while continuing to allow travel from those that have?"

Did you express the same outrage when Obama banned immigrants for six months in 2011? How about the other five times he implemented immigrant bans? What about the six times Clinton did it, or the six times Bush did it?

The countries that are the subject of the ban were identified as top threats for state-sponsored terrorism by the Obama administration starting in 2011 and Democrats voted for the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act in 2015 based on this list and the Paris attacks that year. The list and the Act form the basis of Trump's executive order.

"My point is that the white supremacy narrative, the way it's told by the two in the interview, is undergirded by interpretations of the past that are baloney."

Are Spencer or MacDonald members of the current administration? No?

Like I said before on Jason Colavito's blog, Trump is a polarizing figure and I get that. I would like to see less hysteria in response to everything he says and does. I remember distinctly how the right proclaimed Obama was going to destroy America and it didn't happen. Now I'm hearing the same claims from the left in regards to Trump. Forgive me if I'm just tired of the cries of "Wolf!"

Ok, I flubbed big time. I didn't pay attention to this line:

"That kind of thinking - that you can base policy on bad information - is readily apparent in our new administration."

Now, I understand your point, but, what you say above isn't the same as what was said in the post.

"With the Trump administration barely a week old, you're already seeing the effects of disregarding evidence-based reality and crafting federal policy based on ideologies about the human past."

So, are you saying policy is based on ideology or bad information? The two are not necessarily synonymous, especially when discussing the ban.

I think there is both a general analogy ("that kind of thinking") and a specific connection. If you listen to the interview I linked to, you'll hear a vision for society that is clearly linked to claims about the past. I would argue that many/most of those claims are baloney. While it is correct that the two people talking are not part of the administration, I think it's pretty apparent that there is a connection between the white nationalist vision they're discussing and the priorities that we're now seeing materialize. The emphasis on consolidating executive power, "guarding" against "the other," paying little attention to the concerns of the merchant class, etc. . . . those are all ingredients of the white nationalist vision discussed in the interview. Those ideas (justified by reference to a mythological past) have been around for a long time, but now there is little to no firewall between those ideas and one of our three branches of government. That, to me, is worth talking about.

I don't mind talking politics. I don't think there's anything "dirty" about it, and I think it's naive to suggest that we can cleanly separate ideas about the human past (such as how societies change and where human variation comes from) from their connections to politics. It's better to have a messy discussion about the connections than pretend they don't exist.

Joe Scales

"I don't mind talking politics."

I don't either; just not with partisans. Do you really believe it's not "dirty" to associate white supremacy with your political opponents? Do you even realize the motivation for such stretches? Forgive my bluntness in this regard, but in my view it colors you as biased and rather naïve. A pity, because I really like this site.

I found Richard Spencer and David Duke celebrating Trump's victory to provide some evidence that white supremacists are happy with where they think things are going. Are there any circumstances where you think it would be proper to discuss white supremacy in politics, or is that just a no no?

Only Me
2/1/2017 09:22:03 am

Awesome.

I'd like to point some things out about this statement:

"The emphasis on consolidating executive power, "guarding" against "the other," paying little attention to the concerns of the merchant class, etc. . . . those are all ingredients of the white nationalist vision discussed in the interview."

First, the "consolidation" of executive power started under Bush, then became more of an issue under Obama. I'd say Trump is merely benefitting from the power that was assumed by his predecessors (which was allowed by Congress) and it's only now seen as problematic because it's Trump occupying the office.

Second, immigration was a real issue during the campaign and one that has been handled horribly by both parties. Maybe his solutions aren't the best, but at least he's addressing the issue, which is what a large number of voters wanted. Besides, with the chaos that has happened in Europe, I don't hear anyone complaining about Norway adopting the same stance as Trump. Is it really beyond the pale for America to exercise its sovereign right to decide who is allowed entry when European countries are experiencing an upswing in crime or mass rapes due to the numbers of refugees that were allowed uninhibited access? Do we really want that here?

Last, I think the business class here will start seeing action in regards to taxes, regulation, etc. I can say too much about this right now, but I'll be following it.

I understand your concerns, but I think only time will reveal if white nationalism has a definite influence within the current administration. I most definitely hope that isn't true.

"I found Richard Spencer and David Duke celebrating Trump's victory to provide some evidence that white supremacists are happy with where they think things are going."

I'm certain if you dug deep enough, you could find the lowest common denominator celebrating any particular political party to smear same. Does that necessarily mean that the political party in question supports the given immorality. No. It's an association fallacy.

Better put, if murderers, thieves and rapists celebrate one party's victory, does that make it the party of murder, theft and rape? If child molesters believe your take on anthropology is uplifting, are you catering to them?

The connections with white nationalist and pseudo history is old news.I've known about this for over a decade now.They love that sht.For almost 20 years they've been claiming kennewick man as one of their kin until his genome was sequenced and published in 2015.They also salivated over the solutrean hypothesis which is pretty much dead now like facts matters to them anyway.Some of them I noticed tried to move the goal post after that but unfortunately for them their fantasy ideas will remain just that.

Yes, the connections have been there for a long time. The important difference now, I think (as I said above), is that there appears to be little if any buffer between those ideas and the power to make public policy.

Go ahead and get "dirty" Andy, you're an Archaeologist it's part of your job (pun intended). :) Two of my favorite Archaeology T-shirts I own have the slogans: "I Like it When You Take Me to Dirty Places" (excavation of the Governor's Palace in St. Augustine in the 1980s), and "Archaeologist Play in the Dirt" (Society of Georgia Archaeology 2000s).

When I give tours I always try to give a historic and archaeological context to the site I am, but in a way where I explain how people don't change (needs, desires, etc.) its the technology, climate, nutrition, religion, etc that does. But people are people, I try to to this in a humorous way by saying the History if the good the bad and ugly, just one big soap opera. One of my Favorited examples is to use paintings of people as the past version of Face Book pages. People put image and iconography in them to represent what they though about themselves to the public and generations to come (pets, family jewels, armor for military folks, books, etc.).

So go Andy Go!

By the way are you interested selling any sculptures? My husband has a thing about rats, and we are starting to decorate steampunk for fun....ever think about making a steampunk rat? It would be a cool gift.

1) Ancestral narratives :

"Stories make a place. Without stories there is no place, but without place there can still be stories. If your stories are not organically grown, but imposed on you by those who hate everything about you, then you’re virtually dead." -- Linh Dinh (essay "Ashland, Pa.")

It isn't about this detail or that one. (See #3)

2) "Take heart from Noam Chomsky, who wrote that nothing in the social sciences cannot be understood by the average bus driver in a couple of minutes – this is not calculus or physics, after all." -- Ramin Mazaheri

3) A link to possibly the best single examination of scientifically valid vs. invalid conclusions drawn from insufficient evidence. (Mathis' theme is specifically the illogic of atheism, but the same holds true in the evidence-based conjectural reconstruction of the past) :
http://mileswmathis.com/atheism.html
Executive summary : Not having enough evidence to be conclusive one way or the other means a matter remains open without prejudice -- it is not a warrant for imposing disbelief (a competing belief). Insisting otherwise is preaching -- promulgating a belief.

4) Finally, and HUGELY relevant :
