The Issues of Christian Nationalism and Potential Solutions to Strengthen It

When someone often mentions the term 'Christian Nationalism', images of patriotic Americans with their Bibles and crucifixes often come to mind. In certain areas of the world where the Catholic faith is strong, it often conjures the legacy of the Crusades and the Reconquista period where the Kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, and Portugal had reconquered their lost lands that were held by the Islamic Emirate of Grenada. In nations that are predominantly Orthodox, 'Christian Nationalism' is often associated with the ethnic churches that serve the territory they are in, in most cases for example, like the Serbian and Russian Orthodox Churches serving their respective countries. However, I will not talk about Christian Nationalism as a criticizing point. This passage is more about the significant weaknesses surrounding it, and what would be the most sensible and bold solution to solve it.

The first issue that should be addressed facing Christian Nationalism is the very nature of Christianity itself. Originally considered another sect of Judaism, it gradually evolved in its own direction to become a powerful faith in its own right. Before the Council of Nicaea had happened, there were early split and 'heresies' that occurred, most notably the controversial legacy of Saint Marcion of Sinope, who made a rather bold, though shocking, claim, that Jesus was sent by God to combat an evil God he called the Demiurge. Though his legacy eventually died out, it was one of those Gnostic movements that led to its condemnation as a heresy. Additionally, the preaching of the Apostle Paul and his connections to various parts of the Roman Empire had played a role in Christianity's growth, and as they say, the rest is history. However, there's also the episode surrounding Nestorius and the Nestorian heresy, and so on. While Christianity gained converts from both Jewish and Gentile communities, its rather internationalist approach is ironically enough, both its greatest strength and weakness at the same time. It was a great source of strength in that it can unite different tribes together and form new identities, as demonstrated by the conversion of Bulgaria to Orthodox Christianity and the spiritual unification between the Bulgars, Slavs, and Thracians. Conversely, it was also a source of weakness in that it can be subverted, corrupted, and degraded. Even the much vaunted Catholic Church was not immune to infiltration and subversion, as evident by the shrouded mystery of whether the accusation levied against Pope XXIII of being a Freemason was true or not. However, the proof that the Catholic Church has indeed been infiltrated was presented by Pope Paul VI in his letter, quote:

"… We would say that, through some mysterious crack—no, it's not mysterious; through some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered the Church of God. There is doubt, uncertainty, problems, unrest, dissatisfaction, confrontation.
"The Church is no longer trusted. We trust the first pagan prophet we see who speaks to us in some newspaper, and we run behind him and ask him if he has the formula for true life. I repeat, doubt has entered our conscience. And it entered through the windows that should have been open to the light: science." (aleteia.org)
What did Paul VI mean by saying “the smoke of Satan has entered the Church”?

Other Christian denominations however, are just as, if not, more vulnerable to infiltration and subversion than the Catholic Church. The existence of Churches that cater to the LGBT community can be an example of such subversion, as well as the existence of "woke" sects of Christian churches. Evangelical Churches are also vulnerable to infiltration and subversion, as evident by the introduction of modern musical instruments and the light hearted way that signifies the loss of spirit within those denominations. While many Protestant and Evangelical Church leaders wanted to bring their congregations into the modern period, this kind of modernization only allowed them to lose their original purpose as a congregation. Going back to the Catholic Church, there's also one glaring example of a clear evidence of subversion and corrosion of its original purpose, and it is summed up by three words: Novus Ordo Missae. It is as if the congregations that adopted this kind of cringe worthy practices had turned their own churches into a circus. Such infiltration and subversion has actually done wonders for both Catholicism, Protestantism, and Evangelicalism, in that their spiritual value has been lost. Even the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches are not immune to subversion however, though in their case, Ecumenism is the main threat to keeping their ecclesiastical independence. Orthodox-Catholic inter-faith dialogues since the mending of the Schism had been a prime example of such attempted 'healing', though in reality, it is nothing more than a more sinister attempt at subjugating the other Four Patriarchates to the authority of the so-called "Vicar of Christ", or the power hungry Pope that has disgraced the title, 'Patriarch of the West'.

The second issue that had to be addressed regarding Christian Nationalism is its internationalist character. Christianity in itself, is not only a kind of spiritual internationalism, but a spiritual globalist sect. Think about it: any ethnic or tribal group can convert to Christianity, and become a part of a big, international group. The cost of that would be the abandonment of blood ties to their own tribe, ethnic consciousness, and a sense of pride in their ancient heritage. Additionally, Islam also functions in a similar manner as well, with any ethnic or tribal group being allowed to convert to Islam, and become a part of the ummah. However, the only difference is that Islam's punishment for leaving the religion is death, while there are no such punishments that one can think for leaving Christianity. While both Christianity and Islam can be considered a form of bloodless, spiritual form of globalism, Judaism is an ethno-religion with an extremely difficult criteria for Gentiles to convert to. However, Noahidism serves as a kind of bridge between Judaism and the Gentile world, thus making it essentially a quasi-Jewish religion tailored for Gentiles. Even though the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches are unique in that they are tailored towards the ethnic group and country where that church resides, anyone can convert to Orthodoxy, but with rigorous criteria and study that potential future converts would have to undergo, kind of like a more, strict version of the Roman Catholic Initiation for Adults.

Perhaps the most important and final issue facing Christian Nationalism is the fact that expression of any form of nationalism is considered pride, which in itself is considered one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The inability to express one's own pride in his or her own Christian faith usually ends up being downplayed, and it reaches a point where they have to hide their Christian faith in the face of open hostility towards them. To make matters worse, Christian nationalism has recently been smeared with the reactionary brush by those who are pushing progressive agendas that often damage the nations involved. The subverters often use puppet "Christians" as symbols of their progressive stance to attack the reactionaries that have come to dominate the Christian Nationalist movement. Moreover, addressing the internationalist point of Christian Nationalism once more, there was an example by noted Catholic author E. Michael Jones (the tweet may have already been deleted, or it might have been referenced in a debate against noted white nationalist Richard Spencer), and it went like this: an African migrant moves to Poland, adopts the Catholic faith, learns the Polish language, and embraces Polish customs, and in the end, the African migrant is considered an ethnic Pole. How idiotic does this sound? Does any Pole think that the African migrant would magically become an ethnic Pole? First and foremost, the African migrant to Poland can become a Polish citizen, acquire Polish nationality, but in the end, he is anything but an ethnic Pole. Additionally, when one thinks of what a Polish or say, Hungarian person would look like, one automatically assumes that they are white.

So what should be the solutions for a much, stronger form of Christian Nationalism? I can think of several ones that would be ideal, though not perfect:

1) The reactionary flavor of Christian Nationalism can be maintained, but the Christian Nationalism existent in every Western nation has to be tailored towards a cultural nationalist, or in the cases of heavily Protestant nations like Britain, the Scandinavian nations, and the Netherlands, their brand of Protestant Christian nationalism must take the form of an ethno-nationalist strand. Ethno-nationalist centric Christian Nationalism has already been perfected in Orthodox nations, most notably Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and so on.

2) Christian Nationalist movements first need to form a nucleus of a new, revolutionary elite that can codify their policies in order to make it easier to disseminate to the curious masses.

3) In the case of Europe though, their version of Christian Nationalism can take on a Pan-European cultural nationalist strand that can be both inclusive and exclusive. Inclusive in that they have to accept the possibility of collaboration and cooperation among the three major brands of Christianity, two of the Western branch and one of the Eatern branch. In the case of the Anglophone nations, there should exist two kinds of Christian Nationalism: a Protestant branch and a Catholic branch.

4) If anyone wants to experiment with the idea of developing another new kind of Christian Nationalist ideology, they must be open to the idea of dabbling with certain Gnostic strands, even though it may be deemed heretical. This kind of experimental Gnostic Nationalism, as we can propose to name it, is like thinking outside the box. However, as Gnosticism is a kind of subject that needed thorough examination and explanation, this experiment would have to be placed on stasis until one could address the sensitive issues regarding Gnosticism.

Though these solutions are not perfect and are open to further discussions, it is a possible start.

My apologies, but I had to move back the topic regarding geopolitics in favor of something that I would need to research and learn in bigger detail, which would be the issue of human beings born with various deformities.

The Sad Tragedy of Humans with Genetic Deformities and the Boldest Solution to Tackle It

Every now and then, there are a few, nameless human beings that are born with physical and mental deformities. Those who are born with physical deformities had those because their mothers were either drinking or smoking during their pregnancy, essentially crippling their growth inside the mother's womb. Fetal alcohol syndrome is unfortunately the side effect of a mother's idiotic choice to drink and smoke while she's pregnant. Then there are the human beings that are born with mental deformities, and those are actually caused by genetic or environmental risk factors that are associated with it. Kids who were diagnosed with ADHD or Autism often come to mind, and while the latter could be a genius in one area, the cost of acquiring such a talent is often their ability to socially interact with the general public. Kids with ADHD or Autism are often shunned because of their inability to interact well with others, making their childhood and teenage years extremely difficult. It's even more tragic that there may be mental health issues that are associated or attached to such mental deformities. We still don't know if environmental risk factors are also at play when determining the cause of a child being born with autism, but the fact remains that these kids who were born with both physical and mental deformities have their lives already ruined from the moment they were born.

The sad fact in life is that people who have these genetic deformities are often the targets of ridicule, bullying, and even open hostility towards genetic defects had been a recurring theme throughout human history, with Aktion T4 being the most notorious example of state-sponsored mass murder of genetic defects. Even the current program in Canada, Medical Assistance in Dying, is now aimed at people with such mental deformities by encouraging them to be euthanized. We stand at a precipice where the mass murder of genetic defects are coming back with a brutal vengeance. And yet, is it just a coincidence that there are people that are born with such deformities, or is it one of those things where a person born with deformities is the result of one's ancestor committing a sin so heinous, that the Sky Daddy decided to curse his descendants with genetic deformities as a kind of 'carrying the cross'? I can understand if the beginning of this segment is rather hard to read, because this is rather close to me personally, but I am not here to cry about it. Rather, I have come here to propose a bold kind of solution, which involves the heavy use of modern science. Without this kind of solution, we would have more Zoraya ter Beeks, who opted for voluntary euthanasia because she had a difficult time trying to live with various mental health issues.

The only way that humanity can truly move forward as a species would be to go back to the basics and re-learn to maintain their gene pool as clean as possible. With the current technology and science that we have, it's impossible, but advances in both gene therapy and genetic engineering, it can be done. However, what I am truly proposing in this case would be two fold: a genetically defective person can donate his sperm or her egg, and in exchange, they would have to forfeit their right to reproduce. Vasectomy and tubal ligation would be done after they donated their influxes, followed by chemical sterilization. Although this may sound just as inhumane as Aktion T4 or MAiD, modern genetic scientists can analyze the source of that defect. What truly adds up to this kind of proposal is essentially to introduce a new kind of genetically engineered breed of human being. This envisioned genetically engineered human being would undergo massive gene therapy and genetic engineering while it is still in the sperm and egg stages, while eliminating any recessive gene that is associated with hereditary diseases or potential genetic defects. Most important of all, this proposed genetically enhanced human being would have both enhanced physical strength and expanded mental capacity, though nurturing this kind of enhanced being would still have to happen. Even an improved kind of Damascus steel would still need tempering before it can become a weapon. As to how this kind of genetically enhanced human being could be created, it would involve the use of a system similar to an artificial womb, but one that is tailored for use of a fertilized egg from its initial stage to a fully developed fetus that spent 9 months in an enhanced artificial womb/cloning vat. Human enhancement is definitely the way to go, though still limited by the current technology that we have. Ultimately however, this kind of thing would actually be considered a kind of Transhumanist experiment, where the genetic health of human beings can be improved with the help of modern science. What the Sky Daddy and Lucifer had inflicted on humanity in general, modern science and Transhumanism can solve it. Imagine a genetically enhanced human being, we'll call it Newbreeds, being born without any health problems and can be molded with any kind of radical ideology that would suit the Newbreed. The Oldbreeds would be the human beings that existed prior to the rise of the future Newbreeds.

The only criticism of transhumanism and the potential existence of the Newbreeds is centered around ethical concerns. The ethical concerns however, are nothing but a nuisance, for these are the ones that prevent humanity as a whole from cleaning itself by ridding it of impurities. Imagine a future where the majority of human beings are Newbreeds that outperform their Oldbreed counterparts. Space exploration would improve vastly with the employment of Newbreeds, as they would become more suited for work in outer space because of their enhanced strength and expanded brain capacity. Additionally, the Newbreeds could also learn the art of modern finance, commerce, trade, and economics, in addition to the other STEMs that they can learn as well. Most importantly, gene therapy, genetic engineering and even brain cloning can be used to eliminate all forms of mental health issues by simply replacing the defective brain with a cloned and improved version. Though relearning basic things will take time, the possession of a cloned and improved brain that is free of mental health issues will make the process go faster.

Kawawang Bansa - The Heartbreaking Eulogy of the Philippines as a Whole

When one thinks of what has happened to the Philippines, the netizens and other commentators would often describe us as a nation mired in colonial crab mentality. They are not wrong about it, since the rest of Asia does not consider us as one of their own. In fact, there is a popular saying that may have been lost: "333 years of being ruled from the convent, and 50 years of being ruled from Hollywood." That in a nutshell, is the Philippines. A nation whose very identity was built on European colonialism in the heart of Asia. However, there was a time when the lands of what became the Philippines were a collection of city states and other entities. And yet, the Spaniards came and we were colonized by them. The very term 'Filipino' in its earliest use denotes a Spanish citizen born in the colony. This is what we would call the 'Insulares', which is different from 'Peninsulares', or a Spanish citizen born in Spain itself. It was only after 1898 that the term Filipino was applied to the entire population of the Philippines.

What we have seen today among Filipinos, both living in the Philippines, and outside of it, is the same observance made by our neighbors across SE Asia. That the criticisms levied against us of having a colonial mentality, and an inferior complex, is not without merit. For one thing, we tend to look down on ourselves, with the result that we have internalized our own cultural and racial inferiority, compared to the overlords that had colonized us in the past. In the Spanish era, if you became a Catholic and tried to adopt Spanish culture, you were seen as better than the so-called 'uncultured, Indio savage' who is uneducated. In the American era, if you spoke English without an accent, you felt better than your own fellow countrymen who are still speaking English with an accent. Even I have sometimes felt ashamed of my own cultural heritage because of how inferior it looked, compared to other cultures. Most importantly, that this kind of phenomenon is applied in both politics and traditional norms within our own society. Take a look around the billboards in most Philippine cities, and you'd probably see a Caucasian looking poster woman for an ad. In the Philippine media, there is a preference for actors with a lighter skin color, as opposed to someone with a darker skin color. The Spanish caste system also played a role in the early colonial period, as it reinforced the racial hierarchy in which the whites were at the top, and the coloreds were on the bottom. It still persists, even to this day as well.

However, colonial mentality is not the only kind of malaise that has affected our own society. The issue of inferiority complex has also been internalized within our own people, mostly due to the fact that the cultures that were imported to the Philippines were far better than our own. The neglect of our own cultural heritage that existed before the colonization period also resulted in the loss of a part of our own history, in that we never knew what happened to our lands before the Spanish came. We didn't know that some of the pre-Hispanic kingdoms that existed in the lands that we now call the Philippines were either Chinese influenced, or Indian influenced. Indeed, the cultural artifacts representing those time periods were destroyed during the Spanish period, as a way of Christianizing us. And then the American period came and we were subjected to a new kind of psychological brainwashing in the form of the modernized educational system that was brought over by over 600 or so Thomasites, or American teachers that came over after the Philippine-American War was over. The legacy of that educational system still persists even today.

The harsh reality that Filipinos like myself have to face is that our country is sick. Chronically sick with the diseases of colonial mentality, inferiority complex, and internalized self-hatred. Even I have suffered from this kind of disease as someone of that heritage. We used to be a wealthy nation, until self serving politicians, along with their clans and families, had plundered the wealth of the Philippines, and we had descended into a Third World shithole. 1986 would become the year that the Shithole Period begun. Why? Before 1986, the Philippines was already suffering from economic malaise as a result of the Marcos dictatorship's kleptocratic idiocy that allowed his rich friends to amass wealth at the expense of the people. The Aquino years might have been the twilight in which we would recover from the mess of the Marcos years, but the 60-40 provision in the 1987 Constitution that severely restricted foreign direct investment in favor of the local Filipino oligarchs had crippled our ability to recover economically. Worse, this kind of practice has not gone away, even in this era. Why else would we elect the son of the previous dictator as President after undergoing the 2016-2022 period in which we had a bloodthirsty jackass who merely exchanged one White American overlord for a Chinese overlord? In the movie 'Heneral Luna', the General actually asked this one basic question: 'negosyo o kalayaan? bayan o sarili mo?', which translates to 'business or freedom' and 'nation or self'. We as Filipinos are also affected by our own apathy, in which we felt so disadvantaged that we had no choice but to immigrate to other countries in search for a better life. This is still going on today, although the real question that we should ask ourselves is, what happens when immigration is no longer an option? What happens when even the countries that we moved to will undergo the same kind of economic hardship?

Hating our own roots in favor of wanting to become like our own oppressors has always been a root cause of why we as a people could not move on from the past scars. We robbed ourselves of the means to take revenge on our oppressors by forgiving them. I mean, what kind of beta cuck move is it when you forgive your enemies for oppressing and killing your people? We forgave the Americans for behaving viciously towards us during our war with them instead of stabbing them in the back and collaborating with the Japanese in settling our scores with them, which doomed not only our own country, but even all of Asia itself, though the fault for Japan's loss in the Greater East Asia War lies with the Japanese themselves, who though that they could emulate the White Euro-Atlantic Caucasoids in their imperialist actions and treat their supposedly fellow Asiatics like garbage. Japan's defeat in that war actually opened the door for China to rise as a communist dictatorship, as the Chinese communists were granted access to Manchuria, in which they used it as a base from which they can reunify China under their banner. Whether you like it or not, the supposedly or genuinely evil Japanese were the only ones holding the Red tide from drowning the Asiatic continent. However, they did redeem themselves by joining the pro-independence fighters in Indochina and Indonesia, during their independence struggles. Let's also forget that the Philippines is also ethnically and racially diverse in terms of populations and other tribes that had lived there, but that relationship wasn't always good. Recall that during the Battle of Tirad Pass, the Americans received advice from a highland tribesman in sneaking through the back door, which led to the death of Gregorio del Pilar. Plus the regional and ethnic loyalties that had disrupted the Filipino war effort that ultimately spelled defeat for our own cause, and the American atrocities that were committed against us. Even now, you hear complaints of Tagalog supremacy and Imperial Manila whining from within the non-Tagalogs who propose that they should get an independent state, the Kapampangans being the most prominent. Tagalog-Kapampangan animosities or rivalries had existed, mostly because the latter were used as auxiliary troops under both the Spanish and Americans. If Tagalogs were often referred to as monkeys or savages, then it was appropriate that Kapampangans were often labeled as 'dugo ng aso', or blood of dogs.
Economic wise, Vincent Znader's video about colonial mentality in the Philippines also highlights the unbalanced Philippine reliance on the United States for much of its economic trade. Given the distance between the Philippines and the United States, compared to the Philippines' proximity to the rest of SE Asia and East Asia, it would have made more sense to trade with the rest of Asia. However, China being communist made it a no-no for economic trade, and some of SE Asia had also fallen under communism. With the fall of communism, there should have been some more opportunities for the Philippines to expand its economic and diplomatic ties, and yet we're still tethered to the Americans like a monkey in a zoo. We do have a potential for an industrial resurgence, but our continued reliance on other countries in an unbalanced way is another kind of example of a colonial mentality. We rely mostly on foreign tourists coming in to visit us, and spend most of our income on imports because our manufacturing sector is completely weak. We have limited industrial potential as a nation, which easily translates into defense as well. We do have a limited defense industry, but cannot afford to purchase the necessary equipment needed to defend our own sovereignty and have to, once again, rely on second hand equipment donated by the United States. It is like the Americans never saw us as equals, only as underlings that can be pushed around. The same could be said if the Chinese or the Russians had subjugated us.



It is really sad that the one person who highlights the whole colonial mentality problem in terms of geopolitics and other political spheres is a known CCP propagandist, Brian Berletic. I disliked the pro-China attitude that he has, but even he had a point when speaking about the colonial mentality that the Philippines has. He even mentioned the infamous Fulbright Scholarship that various foreign citizens earn to study in the United States, as well as using it to cultivate a crop of future pro-American Quislings that would serve American globalist interests at the expense of their own national and racial interest. We as a people should view the Fulbright Scholarship earners with such suspicion and hatred since they are essentially being trained to sell out their own national and racial interests in favor of American unipolarist interests, and therefore be branded as subhuman.

Another tragic realization is that the attempt to decolonize the Philippines would be proven difficult, as our very national identity is built on that colonial foundation. The attempt to rename the country to Maharlika had unfortunately gotten nowhere, and the behaviors, attitudes, and mindset are ultimately built on a biological and physical defectiveness of a proud people. It was indeed a kind of vanity project that was the brainchild of that same kleptocratic thief, added with a lot of propaganda rhetoric in it.

***

With the whole angry rant out of the way, there is one sobering realization that I have already said, but must be mentioned again: the Philippines has been plagued with the illnesses of colonial mentality, apathy, inferiority complex, and even self-hatred. I am among the ones that have been afflicted with such national and cultural disease that ultimately is no longer just a psychological and national phenomenon. The Philippines itself, and its society, has demonstrated out in the open the worst aspects of both its own organic culture, along with the worst elements of Spanish and American culture. The worst elements of Spanish culture that is pervasive even today lies in the caste system that they implemented on the Philippines. The book, 'Si Tandang Basio Macunat', tells a story of an old man who is content with staying at the farm with his carabao, while the youth called Prospero is sent to be educated in Manila and comes back as an arrogant hothead. The aforementioned book, written by a Spanish friar named Miguel Lucio Bustamante, gives the "credence" that the 'Indio' does not need to be educated any further, because an educated 'Indio' in the viewpoint of Basio Macunat, would inevitably rebel against God and the King. Tragically though, Bustamante's fears of an educated Indio did eventually come true, as the ringleaders of modern Filipino nationalism were educated in Spain and formed the La Liga Filipina. Initially wanting autonomy within the Kingdom of Spain, it eventually changed after Jose Rizal's death. Yet, even here that I have to point out, that most or all of the early pro-independence leaders were actually Freemasons. Even some of their initiation rituals could have been taken from that of Freemasonry.

The Spanish racial caste system in the Philippines might have been as follows: the ones on the very top are the Peninsulares, or Iberian-born Spaniards, followed by Insulares, or Philippine-born Spaniards. Next would be the mestizos, followed by the mestizo de Sangley, or half-Chinese mixed breeds, followed by full blooded Chinese, and the Indios are obviously on the bottom. This caste system was not changed, even when the Americans eventually replaced the Spaniards as the new boss, though it was probably because the Americans were even more racist towards us than the Spaniards were. One thing that is almost forgotten is that there was also the Aeta indigenous group in the Philippines that looked almost like Africans, hence the term Negrito was used to refer to them. However, I am wrong in that the Insulares are second after the Peninsulares, as the Spaniards residing in the Philippines that were born in Latin America were actually second, above the Insulares. In actuality, there were three kinds of mestizos that existed within the Philippines: Tornatras (mixed Spanish-Chinese-Malay), Mestizo de Espanola (mixed Filipino and any kind of foreign ancestry), and Mestizo de Sangley (mixed Chinese-Malay, similar to the mixed Chinese-Malays of Malaysia and Indonesia). This caste system also affected the Indios to the point where they felt that if they wanted to be at the top, they had to change their appearance to look white. That would also explain the popularity of whitening products that we see today. The legacy of the Spanish racial caste system and the violent hatred against our people can also be manifested in the way Filipinos actually view the Black community. Gelaine Santiago from ShopCambio mentions this in her segment as well, and she writes:

"Think of the model minority myth. As Filipinos, we’re told that we’re hard workers, we’re polite, we don’t complain, we’re good employees. Companies love to hire us because we behave and don’t make trouble.
We’ve happily bought into the idea that, as minorities, Filipinos and Asians are “the good ones”. However if we’re the good ones, this automatically implies that there are “bad” minorities.
We distance ourselves from those groups because we fear being attached to them. Growing up, our parents tell us to stay away from the Black kids because they’re a bad influence. Our Titas and Titos warn us that “those ones” are lazy criminals, drug addicts, and troublemakers. We’re taught to fear Black people." - Gelaine Santiago. (Source: Why And How To Call Out Anti-Blackness In Our Filipino Families)

The worst aspects of American colonial legacy in the Philippines however, was far worse in itself than the worst Spanish colonial legacy. As mentioned earlier, a general crash course in public education had taken place, with over 600 white American teachers being sent over from the US, aboard the SS Thomas, hence the term Thomasites. Under the imported American educational system built in the Philippines, American values were introduced, and mestizos were granted more access to American systems. American style way of living was gradually introduced, though if a Filipino were to move to the continental United States or to Hawaii, he or she would have encountered harsh racism from the locals there. Even to this day, Filipinos are still behaving like the stereotypical 'little brown American' instead of embracing their Austronesian, and by extent, Asiatic cultural tendencies. It is also tragic that the large exposure to American cultural values had contributed to our failed attempt at getting our revenge against the Americans for the atrocities committed against us, making any possible collaboration with the Japanese during WWII difficult. In hindsight, the only major Asian power who could have helped us smash the chains of internalized self-hatred and develop the sense of Asian Pride in ourselves was the so-called evil Japanese. Heck, a Japanese victory in the Pacific would have enabled us to shake off the influences of European colonialism with Japanese influences and we'd have become as ruthless as our would-be Japanese overlords. Alas, it was not to be, and to make matters worse, Japan itself gradually got cucked by the US and it's now a shadow of its former self, though wealthy, in fact.

Now that the background has been explained in great detail, it is also important to point out that ultimately, the colonial mentality, apathy, inferiority complex, and self-hatred has taken on a form of a societal and cultural cancer that defines the cultural and societal illness of Philippine society. How could Philippine society be able to recover from decades, if not centuries of European colonialism? Since the societal cancer has reached a terminal stage, it might be even more tragic to propose a kind of cultural euthanasia that might put our people out of misery as a nation and as a race. Luckily, there are several proposals that I wish to propose.

***

1) Artificial Reproduction by Means of Ethnic Cross-Breeding and Genetic Engineering: Since there are many diverse peoples that reside within the Philippines, it is inevitable that there would be regional and ethnic loyalties that trump the loyalty to the nation as a whole. What needs to be done is to create a new kind of biological Filipino that transcends both the ethnic character of the tribes, as well as improvements in genetic hygiene. In a way, it may be similar to the old Spanish encouragement of inter-ethnic marriages, but in our case, it is only restricted to the commoners, or in other words, the lower, working, and middle classes. Genetic engineering in terms of eliminating hereditary diseases, as well as helping to formulate a new brain that would allow a new biological Filipino to become both smarter and stronger physically and mentally. The new biological Filipino, or as we now should propose to rename it, the Homo Maharlikanus, displays the positive biological, physical, mental, psychological, and cultural traits of the entire ethnic tribes that inhabit the Philippines. The Homo Maharlikanus is also open to the adoption of extreme ideologies that would not work if they were baseline Filipinos, but can work if they were newbred Homo Maharlikanus. The Homo Maharlikanus would also exist as a genetically enhanced Filipino that can live without the need for religion at all, a model new breed of human being that is regimented and would live within his or her own intuitions and instincts. Every activity and learning style that the Homo Maharlikanus will exhibit will be second-nature, with little tolerance for making errors.

2) Extreme Fringe Ideologies as Official Ideological Policy for the Homo Maharlikanus: extremist ideologies, both far-left and far-right, can potentially find fertile room in the new Philippine that will be dominated by the Homo Maharlikanus. The new kind of ultranationalist fanaticism espoused by the Homo Maharlikanus, will be of both ethno-nationalistic and traumatic, not forgetting the tragedies that befell their ancestors in the past, while driving their future forward by one motive only: revenge. Revenge against the West for they have done to them, followed by the cultivation of fascistic behavior that is absent from the baseline Filipino society. The Homo Maharlikanus will be guided by both logic and emotion, being prepared to react accordingly to threats to his or her home, family, and even nation. Anti-clerical sentiment will be encouraged as a means of deterring religious activity aimed at undermining the Homo Maharlikanus. A quasi-National Bolshevism and even potentially quasi-National Socialism would become the norm among the Homo Maharlikanus. Yet, the Homo Maharlikanus will look at the old baseline colored races, not with hatred, but with friendship, while keeping their distance away from the White Euro-Atlantic Caucasoid Race. The extreme fringe ideologies that the Homo Maharlikanus will adopt is essentially to them what religion was to the baseline Filipino.

3) Industrialization and Economic Development as a Means of Achieving National Sovereignty: With the first two proposals being eventually adopted, the Homo Maharlikanus will be the center of a new industrialization project that takes into account the necessity of caring for the environment of their country, while at the same time creating a new kind of prosperous society where they can enjoy the fruits of their labor. The extreme fringe ideologies adopted by the Homo Maharlikanus can play a role in building a new, lasting economic system that leaves little room for exploitation, while at the same time allowing the culture of entrepreneurialism to take root. Manufacturing as a means of developing the national economy will also lead to the Homo Maharlikanus taking pride in the products that they create with their bare hands, while they would also learn the art of finance. The Homo Maharlikanus will also accept without question, the necessity of a financial system without a Central Bank, as they will be taught that usury is inherently dangerous to their societies, as it will create problems related to money, leading to a breakdown in public order. Putting up properties as collateral will be used instead to encourage the repayment of debts.

4) Extreme Militarization of the Homo Maharlikanus: The economic development and industrialization of the new society built by the Homo Maharlikanus will inevitably lead to the necessity of developing an indigenous defense industry. Here, the Homo Maharlikanus would learn to build the weapons of war that is cheap, easy to build, and easy to maintain. The Homo Maharlikanus will also learn to balance the national duty to defend his or her country, with their right to enjoy life as they wished, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Most importantly, the Homo Maharlikanus shall live and die by the extreme ideologies that they will accept, knowing that the future they are fighting for is being built right now. The Homo Maharlikanus will also wage war against the deficiencies of human nature with their expansive reproduction, by means of replicating themselves biologically. The reproduction of new generations of Homo Maharlikanus will become so perfected that there won't ever be a need for marriage and family making, though it can still be voluntary as a means of building that new society fit for the Homo Maharlikanus.

5) Race Realism and Acknowledgement of Racial Differences While Maintaining Cordial Ties: Most importantly and finally, the Homo Maharlikanus will not view the other colored races the same way the baseline Filipino looks down on the other colored races. The Homo Maharlikanus will learn to embrace the darker skin color and reject the whitening of their biological identity. The Homo Maharlikanus will always emphasize their racial difference from the other races of the world, while maintaining cordial ties. For example, the Homo Maharlikanus will find it okay to seek the friendship of not only the African races, but other Asiatics too, and to a lesser extent, the Latin American and even the White Euro-Atlantic Caucasoid Race, though with the latter, it can be easy to devolve into racial hatred for reasons of past historical grievances. Most crucially, the Homo Maharlikanus will never learn the art of forgiveness, and to see forgiveness as beta cuckhold behavior, only seeking revenge when their racial pride and national honor is insulted. In this way, it can be similar to the old policy of Kirisute-Gomen, or the right to strike anyone who insulted the honor and pride of a samurai of old, feudal Japan.

Though these solutions are far from perfect, it is a good example of how to rebuild a fractured society that doesn't need a lot of patience and time to develop in the long run. Although technologies for artificial human reproduction are limited, perhaps in the far distant future, it can be done. I would even be glad to donate my DNA towards this kind of project in exchange for forfeiting my right to reproduce any more future baseline offspring. Ethical concerns can be thrown out of the window for the sake of creating the ideal Homo Maharlikanus. On an additional note, the new name to replace the name of the Philippines can be changed to North Austronesia, for it simply denotes the northern area of the wider Austronesia region, in a way that North Macedonia denotes the area of Vardar Macedonia.

The Austronesian Perspective's Video Review - Mani Mani People Episode "A World Where People Give Birth Using Artificial Reproduction?"

Video referenced for this Musing:



So this is going to be a different musing that I will be doing from the usual ones that I did, since this topic will be connected to the last musing that I wrote regarding the solution to the problem that the Philippines had, and the concept of the Homo Maharlikanus as the possible dream solution. The video that I am about to review is an episode from a popular YouTube channel "Mani Mani People", which is similar to any kind of RomCom Manga channels like Ayasaki-san or even Nanakuma Manga Bear, except that there are also some episodes that don't have any romance in it. The background information about Mani Mani People is that it's an anthology channel that takes place in a fictional country of Manihon, though it's an obvious reference to Japan, just take out the Ma, and you get the Japanese name for the country itself, Nihon. The main characters of said channel is usually someone called Moroboshi, but there's also a character named Keita who often acts in the background as well. The video review that I am about to do is an episode related to artificial reproduction.

The video starts with a lecture at a university where a college student attends said lecture, but the student gets bored. The MC named MIkami encounters his friend, who was confronted by a larger man. The spiky haired friend is accused of trying to steal the girlfriend from the larger man, whom we would normally refer to as the Chad. After the Chad leaves, the spiky haired friend named Keita is then comforted by Mikami, and Keita complains that he wasn't able to get a girlfriend. Mikami also points out how Keita gets fooled by a woman, usually through tricks and scams. He then advises Keita to stop trying to get a girlfriend and the latter reveals that he had a dream of having a wife and daughter. Mikami in turn, explains the financial costs of marriage and family in general. He also sums it up in one sentence:

"You lose time. You lose money, and all you get in return is more responsibilities. $5,000 for a wedding ring, $30,000 for a wedding, and $250,000 for every kid you have." Mikami, 1:48.

Mikami also explains how that instead of spending money on marriage and family, one could spend money on video games, and various other things to enjoy oneself. He's essentially swallowed the Red Pill at that moment, and has embraced the MGTOW philosophy. Moreover, he adds that if he had kids, he won't have any time to himself, and all the free time that he has would be devoted to helping out with raising the kids that he would have with the wife. However, Mikami is aware that if less people would have children, the social structure will collapse, and wishes that there would be a system where people can have kids whenever they want. That is when the concept of Artificial Reproduction is introduced. The scene switches to Mikami and Keita talking to two other girls about artificial reproduction, before the former goes on a rant about how marriage is "irrational and incomprehensible", basically repeating the MGTOW philosophy about marriage. It is also revealed that there was initial pushback against artificial reproduction, until ten years had passed when artificial reproduction was brought up again, this time in the form of a news about a genius child actor who was conceived through artificial reproduction. An older Mikami and his girlfriend named Yuriko also discusses the same topic, but the latter eventually accepts the idea of artificial reproduction being a great thing. Yet, the major challenge for Mikami now is that he's starting to crave the longing desire for a married life. At this point, his 'natural' desire for becoming a parent is slowly overpowering his MGTOW-centric philosophy. By then, artificial reproduction would become the norm in that society. As a result, not only are the offspring of artificial reproduction are excelling in all areas of society, but Mikami himself, as a baseline human being, is slowly becoming less valuable as a member of the society increasingly dominated by the offspring of artificial reproduction. To make matters worse, Mikami is rejected by the ladies who only want to marry men with high qualities. Sounds a lot like the modern dating and marriage system where women these days only want men with 6 figures, 6 packs, and the other 6 something that I wouldn't utter. Mikami would become the ultimate loser in the era where artificial reproduction is king.

The biggest tragedy for Mikami is that by the time he's 80 years old, he's witnessed a deserted street on Christmas Day with a lonely heart. When he sees a mother and a genetically enhanced child interact together, it only increased the level of his loneliness, and realized that he should have opposed it from the beginning. Luckily, it turns out to be a nightmare, but the sad result is that Mikami has instead ingested the Blue Pill and has basically left the Red Pill/MGTOW philosophy behind.

There was one anime where they covered the sensitive issue of artificial reproduction and the problems that it created. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED covered this controversial topic, with the conflict between the baseline human being referred to as Naturals, and the genetically enhanced offspring born from artificial reproduction being referred to as Coordinators. The two Bloody Valentine Wars waged between these two groups was mostly over the existential right of Coordinators and how the Naturals viewed these genetically enhanced human beings as 'space monsters'. Coordinator superiority also contributed to the two conflicts as well, and the recent movie, Gundam SEED Freedom, has explained much about a nation where Coordinators actually rule over Naturals in the modified version of the Destiny Plan, and the resistance against it. The main motive behind the creation of the Coordinators was to help solve the old issue regarding the defects that baseline humans have and how genetic editing and genetic engineering can cure them of the problems before the child was born.

The main thing about the video covering the topic of artificial reproduction is that, this kind of technology actually exists right now, albeit in its early stage. In fact, the very first offspring to be born via in vitro fertilization was Louise Brown, who is still alive and healthy as of today. Yet, there were also fears that children born from artificial reproduction may have more health related problems than children that were born from natural reproduction. According to the article provided by the National Library of Medicine, through the Journal of Zhejiang University Science, there were more chances of children being conceived through assisted reproductive technologies developing some sort of health problems. However, it is worth noting that artificial reproduction in this era is at a primitive stage, meaning that they haven't developed the technology that could help expand and improve the chances of the designer baby having a healthy and normal life. Additionally, a WION news clip released on June 15, 2023, covered a new kind of artificial reproduction that involves the creation of a synthetic human embryo that doesn't require eggs and sperm. In the realm of artificial reproduction, that is entirely a different kind of game changer, as synthetic human beings could also be of great help when it comes to experimenting with the cross breeding of a genetically enhanced human being with a synthetic human being. Yet, not only are there some health concerns regarding artificial reproduction, but also ethical concerns as well, as religious nutjobs will condemn the practice as playing God. As if the Sky Daddy himself was not culpable for letting human beings give birth to genetically defective offspring, these religious nutjobs don't care for the lives of the genetically defective human beings.

Going back to the Mani Mani People episode, the fact that women can now have children whose genes are edited to their fullest desire, while baseline males would be left behind and forgotten, is completely unbalanced. Luckily for baseline males, the solution to their loneliness could easily be solved with just one thing only: sex robots, or AI companion robots. A VICE TV news clip reveals about one of those kinds of robots that were made for male companions, which can alleviate their loneliness, which can therefore prevent any kind of mental illness from happening. Mikami in this story would definitely benefit from the companion robot without any kind of drama that would happen as well. Thus, women can give birth to the children of their dreams without relying on men to help them, and men in turn, can use companion robots as a way to connect much better than human females.







In conclusion, this Mani Mani People episode is a huge eye opener to the hidden dangers of relying on artificial reproduction, but as the technology is in its early stage, we only need to support the technology improving itself to the point where there would be no genetic defects in designer babies as a result of improved technology needed to expand on artificial reproduction. The option of creating a synthetic human being remains open, as they could be used for experimental purposes related to cross-breeding with designer human beings. How this is also related to the last Musing that I have written, is that a synthetic human being can also be created and cultivated as a living instrument of enforcing the extremist ideologies suited for the Homo Maharlikanus. A synthetic human being walking around could also provide the information needed on how to integrate them into a newly improved human society, and hopefully, with the creation of additional artificial womb facilities that will aid the cause of artificial reproduction. Imagine the possibility of a powerful industry dedicated to artificial reproduction becoming the backbone of a country's economy indeed.
