If you aren’t seeking new land for your race, nation, and culture - you will lose the land of your race, nation, and culture:

For sixty years, Westerners have been told that politics is either liberalism or conservatism. This is a lie.

As conservatives know, liberalism is the force which destroys our society. Liberalism is abortion, regulation, and open borders. Liberals want to to reduce the citizens, control the citizens, and give aid to the citizens' enemies. 

The way our society is set up, Conservatism simply opposes Liberalism. As sixties conservative William Buckley said, the conservative is the man who "stands athwart history, yelling Stop". 

Apparently, the yelling hasn't worked. Our countries have been getting more liberal every year. 

And really, why wouldn't they?

If half the men in a boat are rowing backwards, and the other half are staying still, the boat is will move backwards. Just because half the men have stopped, the boat isn't going to stop with them.

In fact, for the men who want to keep things the same, the *only* option is to row forward. Only then will they have a *chance* at staying the same. And this is why conservatism is the big lie of the twentieth century:
  
In Life, at any given moment, we have _three_ choices: 

GROW, Shrink, or Stay the Same.

Liberals are rowing our boat backwards, and conservatives yell "stop!". But where are the expansionists? The men who want to GROW our society? Where are the men working to export our people and our traditions, and to acquire more land?

Up until now, these men have not existed. And nobody knew they were an option.

That's because Expansionism died with Hitler.

And, if we want to live, we will have to resurrect it again.








This is a problem, because Conservatism is not a sustainable mindset - in Life or in politics.

So why do we have it?

For the past 80 years, anyone who has identified with Western Tradition has been defined as a "conservative". 

Let's consider the implication:

What does it mean to conserve? According to the dictionary:

1. To protect from loss or harm; preserve.
2. To use carefully or sparingly, avoiding waste.
3. To keep (a quantity) constant through physical or chemical reactions or evolutionary changes.

So, in summary: to conserve is to protect, preserve, and maintain. So let's replace that in the original statement:

For the past 80 years, anyone who has identified with Western Tradition has been defined as someone who is protecting, preserving, and maintaining that tradition.

Protect, preserve, maintain: what is the similarity between these? In a word, they are all defensive actions. So, for the past 80 years, love of Western Tradition has been assumed as defensive position. Anyone who loves the West is only expected or allowed to respond to assaults on that tradition: only to protect, preserve, and maintain it. The deception is so great that most Westerners have never considered the third option: what if we sought growth?

What if we sought to *grow, export, and expand* our culture? And why do we not?

After all, the Earth is a finite place. At any given moment, our peoples and borders are touching each other: pushing against one another, in a dance of expansion and contraction. Somehow, it has been chosen that *we*, the West, will contract. We were never given another option. Most of us don't know one exists.

Conservatism is the option to stay the same. As conservative icon William Buckley said, the conservative is the man who "stands athwart history, yelling Stop". (https://www.nationalreview.com/1955/11/our-mission-statement-william-f-buckley-jr/) Hardly an inspiring battle cry. Sure enough, Liberalism is winning.

For sixty years, we in the West have been given the option to either shrink or stay the same. So, of course, we shrink. If half of society wants to shrink and the other half wants to stay the same, then society will shrink. Worse, society will then shrink even faster, because it has lost strength.

Ask any man on the street: which is the most healthy mindset? Grow, shrink, or stay the same?

Grow, of course.

Yet, that option has been unspoken for the past 60 years.

It is true: Conservatism fights against Liberalism: but <i>only to keep things the same.</i> Conservatism only advocates enough people to maintain our numbers; only enough freedom to placate enthusiasts; and only enough borders to keep the culture intact.

Consider a man who says "I only want to keep the job I have"; "I only want to keep my current relationships"; "I only want to stay as good as I am". Is this man a good influence? Do you want him in your job, or as a companion?

If he is very old, perhaps this mindset is understandable. But even then - do you think he will succeed?

Life has never rewarded the mindset of hoarding resources and living on past achievements. In a world which is always moving and changing, seeking growth is required <i>just to stay the same</i>.

Not only have we never chosen to grow, we have fallen prey to an even deeper fact: *there is no such thing as Conservatism*. Conservatism is a mirage; an idea that Life can somehow be frozen in place. But, nobody can stop Life. Life is always moving, growing or shrinking. The only question is in which direction - and for a generation, the direction has been against us.

Life is a river: we can swim against the current, or be carried back. To do nothing is to be carried back. To even have a <i>chance</i> at conserving what we have, we have to seek growth. Endlessly fighting the current will only tire us out. Then, as we are, we will drown. But, we haven't: so, for 60 years, the men who fought World War II and their descendants have lost control over large amounts of territory. This is not opinion: in 1960, 35% of the Earth was white. 99% of Britain was white; 90% of America was white. Now, 20% of Britain is postwar foreigners; 36% of America is the same.

This third option died with Hitler, 60 years ago.

If we don't seek more land and more people, it is obvious that the culture will fade as well. Perhaps, the entire civilization. This is not acceptable.

Life may grow; Life may shrink; but Life will never stay the same.

The basic game of Life is people and land. Conservatism seeks to conserve these; Expansionism seeks to expand them; and Liberalism forgets them altogether.

The Postwar era is over. Conservatism is over - because it was never real to begin with. It was a mirage - a comfortable death for a culture which lost the will to grow. Birth rates in all Western nations are below replacement. Conservatism is the path to death.

Conservatism must be abandoned. Liberalism never worked to begin with. That only leaves one option: seek growth. So, stop identifying as a conservative.

To fight for the Light of the West, we must embrace Growth. Therefore, we must embrace Expansionism.

Surely, people have understood this before me. But, nobody has succeeded in doing it. 

So: 

Why did Hitler lose? Why was America affected? What prevents us from expanding now?
