Time Text
All right, folks, I'm the Shameless Berg.
I hope you're doing well today.
So this morning I was just kind of reflecting on some things.
Like I said in my last video, you know, I'd had kind of a brief swing back to Christianity, you know, old-time religion, sort of reaching for a sense of comfort, normalcy, something that felt secure and bolted down.
Because, you know, I had been raised Christian and it was a huge part of my life.
I was very, very indoctrinated.
And, you know, sometimes during periods of drastic upheaval, I have found myself kind of swinging back that way.
Again, clutching for comfort, clutching for some perceived stability, even if it was kind of an illusion.
And, you know, each return back, because there's been a few over the years, they've gotten shorter and shorter, you know, because in the meanwhile, I've learned a lot of things.
I've noticed a lot of things that kind of make it impossible for me to resume just like everything's normal again.
You know, once the smoke clears, the fog clears, the dust settles, I start to realize, like, no, dude, you know, all of the criticisms that you had still apply.
You know, all of the issues that you had with this still apply.
And so I was just sitting sort of reflecting on some of the conversations that came up during some Bible studies.
Because, you know, I was going to Sunday morning and then I was going with my wife to Bible studies.
And, you know, and the people are wonderful.
They're very kind.
They've been very welcoming.
So I have nothing to say about them, right?
I mean, they've really been there for us and our family.
Nevertheless, you know, I'm going to obviously have my own thoughts and opinions on what's being discussed.
And I'm not always very open about them, which has been noticed by some of them.
They've seen me open up quite a lot sometimes where you can hardly shut me up.
And then there's other times where you can't get me to say a peep, you know, not a thing.
Well, there's always a reason for my silence, okay?
And it's usually because I know that I'm in the company of people who I have a thought on an issue, but they're not going to be receptive.
And I'm not going to fake it.
So I just, you know, I stay quiet, right?
Instead of creating an awkward situation and having to unpack something that starts to go down a kind of political path, a racial path.
Like this is not the direction people want to take things in this Bible study.
And I'm not here to throw a wrench in the whole thing.
I don't want to cause problems for people.
Nevertheless, you know, I have my own thoughts and feelings about things.
And particularly when I have insights that could really offer some context and perspective.
So that's what I'm here to do this morning.
I wanted to discuss something.
So I kind of wrote some notes down this morning just to make sure I captured my thoughts.
I didn't know whether I'd, you know, make a video about them or not, but I wanted to put my thoughts down.
But I did decide to go ahead and make a recording.
So here's the note that I prepared.
Christians don't understand how we became a less generous, low trust society and why so many of us are disinclined towards charity and tax subsidies.
They come to all kinds of wrong conclusions, okay?
And they will forever spin their tires in the mud because of it.
So the reason why, see, they can't acknowledge that diversity destroys these things.
No, you don't want to pay for Shaniqua's food stamps.
I know you don't.
Neither do I, especially when she's going to turn around and sell them for money or turn around and just buy endless soda for Tyrone and all that stuff.
Like, we're not interested in doing that.
But, you know, so with Christians, they can't acknowledge that diversity destroys these things, any motivation for these types of things, charity and tax subsidies, because they can't acknowledge that we are different and we're not interchangeable.
They do not understand that the dividing lines between peoples isn't whether one group believes in their religion and one group doesn't.
The differences are many, notably racial.
When we don't feel like we were part of a greater family with shared ancestry, shared traditions, shared values, and a common sense of destiny, Christians will never form a sensible conclusion about these things because their blind universalism won't let them.
It would, after all, be un-Christian, and it certainly would.
Diversity erodes both a sense of social trust and cohesion, but also a sense of investment in one another.
Just like one has an affinity for one's family over another family, one naturally has an affinity for their broader family, that is, their race and nation, than for others, whether they realize it or not.
It's instinctual, it bears out in reality, and things like being less inclined towards charity and tax subsidies is completely understandable in this environment.
People are not necessarily conscious of why they're disinclined to do these things, but I know exactly why.
It's because diversity erodes all of this shit.
So, you know, importing foreigners with no ties to their nation and race, history, ancestry, culture, values, or sense of destiny is about the worst thing you could ever do if you genuinely want social cohesion and a sort of mutual understanding.
But sitting among Christians, I have to pretend not to know or understand these obvious facts.
So all kinds of conversations came up about generosity and caring for others and all of this stuff.
And, you know, why have these things taken such a hit?
And why are we so reluctant to, you know, help others out?
We're supposed to take care of the sick and the needy and the no, I know.
But it's like, and they'll point back to a time in this country where people really had each other's back.
Well, I remember back in the day, you know, and if somebody needed a repair, everybody in the neighborhood showed up and blah, It's like they don't understand what's happened.
And they're always grasping for the reason why.
And they're trying to do so through a sort of Christian universalistic lens.
But the problem is, as is so often the problem, like when people think of a time when America was great, for example, they don't, it's like they don't realize or associate the people that were there with the conditions that were there.
You know, when we look back to these times of greater social trust, social cohesion, helping each other out, so on and so forth, the demographics were completely different.
Completely different.
And we're supposed to just pretend like none of that's relevant.
You know, when we're discussing these issues among Christians, generally speaking, you just have to pretend not to know these things.
You have to pretend not to understand these things.
So we have to constantly try to couch it in religious terms or biblical terms or whatever.
Meanwhile, the glaring and obvious truth is that, dude, we've been too diversified.
People tend not to care as much about each other.
People tend not to trust each other as much.
Can you possibly understand why?
Do you think I feel like subsidizing Shanikwa, who's going to turn around and tell me how privileged I am and how I need a racial reckoning and all this shit?
Do you think I care to pay the hospital bills of a bunch of third world foreign imports that have no connection to me, my history, my family, my nation, culture, values, traditions?
None of it.
None of it.
And we don't even share a sense of where we're going, right?
It's each group out for their own.
Because that's what happens.
If you have multiracial, multicultural diversity, there can't be that type of cohesion.
No matter how much you want there to be, there can't be.
Because it's completely unnatural.
It violates nature in every level.
And again, like I said, a lot of people aren't consciously aware of what's going on, but their instincts, right, are leading them away from that sense of cohesion and trust and investment in one another.
Do you honestly feel just as invested in people of another race or culture as your own?
No, you don't.
Don't lie.
You can lie to yourself.
You can lie to others, but I know the truth.
You don't.
You absolutely don't.
It's instinct.
It's instinct to want to stick with your own.
It's instinct to feel more motivated to help and to be able to trust one another, particularly in a white society, right?
Because everybody harkens back to a time, well, I didn't even used to lock my doors or whatever.
And I don't even know what's changed.
What do you mean you don't fucking know what's changed?
I do.
It's really obvious.
We're not even the same anymore.
We're not the same people.
It's not just some magic force field where things changed.
No, the actual populace changed.
The demographics changed.
The actual people changed.
And we're not all interchangeable.
And that's the thing that Christianity cannot let you reckon with.
They cannot let you reckon with our differences and the implications of those differences.
We're supposed to pretend that really the only dividing line is whether somebody has accepted the gospel or hasn't.
That's not the only dividing line, but they pretend it is.
And that is just not any way to govern a society.
It's not any way to run a nation.
It's not any way to construct immigration policy.
It's complete madness.
It is national suicide.
And you throw everything away for this social experiment.
You know, you take from the prosperity and opportunities of your children and future generations in the name of doing good.
But it's not doing good.
It's completely unfair.
And it's evil, actually, for you to do these things in the name of righteousness when the ones who really have to pay are the younger generations.
You know, I hear this kind of shit out of a lot of people who had the benefit of growing up in a very white nation, you know, 90% plus white.
And that was just the situation.
They grew up in that and they have failed to appreciate it.
And they sit here and wonder, why have things changed so much?
Well, I don't fucking know.
Why don't you look around, huh?
We went from like 90% white to, I don't know, where are we at now, 60 some odd percent maybe?
And obviously it varies from locality to locality.
There are some places where when you're white, you'll find yourself an absolute minority and other places where you're in a clear supermajority.
I live in an area that's very strongly majority white.
That's why I came.
Well, it's part of why.
I also wanted to get away from the city in general.
I like nature.
I don't like buildings everywhere.
I don't like too much noise and commotion.
I like to be out in the country.
I like that.
But the whiteness is part of it.
I'm not going to lie.
So obviously it varies based on where you are.
But the overall picture is our demographics are completely different now.
And so we're a bunch of squabbling, warring factions of racial groups and cultures and all of this stuff.
Of course, things are not going to be the same.
Of course, things are going to change.
You can't change things that much.
You can't change demography that much and just swap people out and expect the same results.
It is complete fucking madness.
But, you know, the longer that you refuse to acknowledge these things because your beliefs won't let you, I mean, you're just going to keep spinning your tires in the mud.
You're going to keep rehashing the same, you know, Sermon on the Mount stuff.
Like we're supposed to just apply that to anyone and everyone at all times and places.
And it's just nonsense.
It doesn't work.
It's an unrealistic and unfair expectation.
And again, like I said, in the name of some sort of religious virtue, you take opportunities and prosperity and safety.
You take these things away from future generations and you trade them in in the name of some sort of egalitarian universalistic pipe dream.
That is exactly what you're doing.
And you don't want to acknowledge it.
You can only think how righteous it is.
You know, oh, you know, so much progress, progress, progress.
We're so much better than we used to be.
Are we?
Are we?
So, you know, oftentimes you'll hear, for example, leftists will, you know, criticize people that have a vision of making America great again.
Like, let's set aside MAGA per se as a movement and deal with the idea of making America great again.
People oftentimes have a picture in their minds of what a great America was like, you know, between the aesthetic of it to just sort of the values, to the prosperity, to the hardworking nature, the grit, the determination, you know, the pride in American freedom, American values.
I mean, that's gone completely away.
And so, you know, they're hearkening back to a time when it was like that.
You know, they want that American greatness that they remember.
But it's like they have this blind spot, right?
And it's like leftists don't actually have this blind spot about it because when they see people wanting this, you know, great America again, the leftist correctly perceives, oh, you mean a white America?
And then, you know, the MAGA guy, I don't care about race, brother.
It ain't about race.
Are you fucking sure about that?
Are you sure about that?
What do you base that on?
Okay.
What do you base this on?
Because the founders wanted a white nation.
They made that extremely clear.
You know, the Naturalization Act of 1790 outlined exactly who was fit for consideration to immigrate to this country and become a naturalized citizen.
They were extremely stringent in those standards, and they did so for a very obvious reason.
And we kept that policy for, I don't know, nearly 200 years, you know, until the mid-60s when we were sold the lie with the Heart Seller Immigration Act, where, you know, now we weren't just opening the door to Europeans.
Now we were going to open it up to all manner of other nations, you know, racial groups, cultures, and all of this stuff.
And the lie that was sold was, don't worry, this won't change your demographics.
You know, that was the lie that was sold in order to get us to embrace this change to immigration policy where we started to allow in people from other countries outside of Europe.
Right.
And so here we are.
Like I said at first, they sold it to us.
This won't change your demographics.
This will not reduce your population share.
And, you know, everybody was like, well, okay, all right.
Skip ahead all these years later.
You know, that was just the mid-60s.
Here we are.
It's 2026 now.
And we're supposed to pretend like the promise of altering our demographics, that that promise never was made.
And we're supposed to pretend all of this is normal.
And that, you know, opening the floodgates to people from all these other countries, like that's just totally normal.
And now you're not even allowed to dislike this arrangement.
Now you're not even allowed to look back and go, wow, that really fucked us over because that would be racist.
And it would be unchristian, wouldn't it?
It would be very unchristian of me to insist that our earlier policy was better.
And I know, I know you people think that you know better than the founders or something.
You're more enlightened.
You're not.
Okay.
These men were far more educated.
They were far more intelligent.
They were far more insightful than nearly anyone living today.
I'm not saying that they were right about every damn thing, but they, you know, they were pretty perceptive.
They knew history.
They understood race.
They understood culture.
They understood what it would take to have a successful republic.
And they also believed that this constitution that was enshrined was only fit for the governance of a very certain people group, which they outlined in the Naturalization Act.
Changing that, you see, they wouldn't have enshrined the Constitution as we know it over the demographics we have today.
They absolutely would not have done that.
Even if they wanted to, what they would first do is clean house a little bit.
And they would make sure that they were enshrining this Constitution for a particular people.
And they knew that very well.
And that was white persons of good moral character.
That's what the Naturalization Act of 1790 talked about.
You know, that was ratified before even the Bill of Rights.
Just to give you an example of how important to them was this idea of getting the demographics right.
And now all these years later, you know, you're supposed to be ashamed and you're just a terrible evil person if you think that the founders had it right on that, if you agree with them on that.
Because now you're just like obligated to not agree with them.
You're obligated to pretend to know better.
You're obligated to pretend that they were just all around rotten, no good, stupid, backwards people.
And they weren't.
They weren't.
And they were right about this.
And I'm allowed to agree with them.
And I'm not going to fall under this social pressure where I have to disagree with them, that I'm like indebted or obligated to disagree with them and think that I know better.
No, no.
So I agree with them.
I thought that it was good policy.
And honestly, maybe it wasn't even stringent enough, right?
Maybe it wasn't even stringent enough.
But at any rate, they had a good thing going.
We had a good thing going.
Okay.
And they were intelligent and they knew that this republic that they were forming was just not adequate to the governance of any other people than the ones that it was designed for.
They said, for us and our posterity.
Posterity doesn't mean just anybody that, you know, feels like an American or feels like coming to America.
You know, anybody that just washes up on the shore with their hand out.
You know, people ignore that and instead they treat the poem on the Statue of Liberty like it was our Naturalization Act.
You know, that Jewish poem about give me your tired and you're poor and you're useless and all that stuff.
Yeah.
They act like that.
That is some sort of legally binding founding document.
And it's not.
It's not.
It was just a shitty poem on a statue.
That's it.
It has nothing to do with immigration policy.
It has nothing to do with the vision of this nation.
That was one Jewess's vision for this nation.
And it was not the founders' vision for this nation.
And so I'm not going to feel bad because I agree with the founders on it.
I'm not going to be told that I'm stupid and backwards for it.
You know, even if that's what you think, I don't fucking care.
They were right.
All right.
And, you know, all the cautionary words that they had around this kind of arrangement have come to pass.
You know, they would look around and be like, what did you do?
We tried to give you a good thing.
What did you do?
And, you know, and I'm supposed to just sit and pretend to not know this stuff.
You know, I have when you have conversations with people in like a Bible study or at church and we're talking about all the problems of race and talking about all the problems of broken social cohesion and a lack of generosity and a lack of helping each other out.
And, you know, I'm supposed to just pretend that it's just spiritual or something, like just some spiritual thing is just washed over the land.
No, no.
You know, have people, you know, lost the connection to spirituality?
A lot of them.
Yeah, sure.
But that's not like the actual heart of this issue.
The actual heart of this issue is one of instinct.
It's one of feeling invested in each other, and when you've gone and replaced us with other people, we cease to trust each other and we cease to feel invested in each other.
It's that simple, it really is.
But again, like I said, you're supposed to just sit there and pretend to not know or understand these things, you know, for the sake of a Bible study.
And so, I kept, you know, I kept my mouth shut, I bit my tongue, and I didn't say these things because I know that it's not going to be welcome.
You know, I know that it's going to be dismissed out of hand because the universalism of Christianity demands that it be dismissed out of hand.
And so, why provoke a fight?
You know, why make things awkward?
You know, why sit there and disturb the peace of their Bible study with this knowledge and understanding that I have?
And so, I've decided instead, hey, just make a video about it.
You know, I'm sure some of them will see it.
Yes, these are my honest thoughts.
And no, I didn't want to upset Bible study with it, but I can't pretend not to know, not to understand how we've gotten to this point, and that we're not all interchangeable units.
Okay, just because you believe that there's neither Jew nor Greek doesn't mean that I do, and it doesn't mean, or at any rate, whatever that meant, I don't believe it means what you seem to be suggesting it does, which is that now we've just become interchangeable, swappable people groups, that none of it matters.
Meanwhile, that same passage would go on to say that there is neither male nor female, and yet, curiously, you really, really affirm the idea of differences between male and female.
It's just the ethnic part where we're supposed to pretend there's no differences, apparently.
And I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna pretend, right?
I can't play pretend at that.
Um, and so these are my honest thoughts.
This is a criticism I've had for Christianity for a very long time, and I wasn't really thinking about it much until recently.
You know, and one of those times, like I said, back in church, you know, visiting that Bible study, hearing enough conversations, and I just realized, like, wow, yeah, no, that's always been a problem.
And again, like I said in my recent video, talking about, you know, we need to pray for Nigerians or whatever, they're being persecuted, and like that sucks and everything, but I don't give a fuck about Nigerians.
I don't care, man.
I really don't care.
I don't have some like bloodthirsty hostility for them or anything, but like, I don't care.
I don't feel invested in them.
And a lot of people don't either.
Whether they admit it or not, they don't.
And why should they?
What's the point?
Do they care about what's going on with us?
You know, just because we have more material prosperity doesn't mean that we don't have problems.
Do they care about our problems?
I don't think so.
And when any of them wash up on our shore, what do they do?
They end up joining the chorus of like BLM and leftists and they join together in shaming us as colonialists or whatever.
So that's another thing.
Like, you know, I'm told to care about people groups who I know when they come here, join with a bunch of commies and join with the Antifa and join with BLM and just join the whole left-wing multiracial polyglot and start attacking us, you know.
And so that doesn't exactly motivate me to care whether about them or their folks back home.
Because when I see it play out and I'm like, yeah, but you guys don't fucking care about us, you know, and I'm supposed to accept that you don't care about us because I guess somehow you have it worse off than us.
Oh, by the way, how did that happen?
How come you guys didn't do anything with that country?
How come, how come I have to keep caring about places where, you know, you have a homeland, you guys have your own homeland, and in fact, you have demographic supermajority, homogeneity, you have these things, and yet you can't do anything with your country.
And that's supposed to be my problem.
I'm supposed to feel bad for you.
No.
Particularly when you really don't care what's happening, you know, to us, to my people, you don't care.
You don't care about demographic replacement.
You don't care about any of that shit.
You just see us as colonialists, but you don't mind asking us for help at the same time.
And I tire of it.
And so I stopped caring.
I mean, why am I supposed to care?
And particularly when a lot of people here, like they're Christian, they don't care about our problems.
No, it's the telescopic philanthropy of look at these sad Nigerians or whatever.
Yeah, well, what about fucking here?
You know, what about the fact that like black on white crime, black-on-white violence is completely out of control and it's gotten more savage and it's gotten more random.
And it's it, there's so much like resentment and a feeling of just like, well, I'm killing you because, you know, some inequity or fucking whatever.
You know, like that Ukrainian girl that was stabbed to death, Irina Zarutska, who was stabbed to death on a train randomly, you know, by this monkey savage.
I don't hear any of them talking about that.
You know, I'll hear about Nigerians until they're blue in the face, but is anybody talking about, you know, the extreme amount of black on white violence?
No.
So who's supposed to care then?
Who's supposed to talk about it?
And so since you guys aren't going to, I have to.
And if I'm talking about that, well, I'm not going to talk about your bullshit because we don't have enough voices talking about this.
We don't have enough voices pointing out the obvious problems going on here.
And so I have to do it.
And I have to narrow my focus.
I can't be expected to care about my people when our future is looking kind of bleak and also care about all these other people simultaneously.
I'm just human, man.
And I have to care about the things that really weigh on my heart genuinely.
And for me, that's my own people.
And I'm not going to be ashamed about that.
I'm not going to be ashamed at all.
And I'm not going to be pressured to adopt a universalistic attitude where just somehow our problems don't matter any more than their problems.
It does matter more.
It does matter more to me, just like problems in the family are going to necessarily matter more to me than in the next family.
It doesn't mean I necessarily hate the next family, but like I have my own problems in my own life to live, right?
Okay, think about that writ large on a national scale.
Now does it make sense?
Because it ought to.
You know, your ethnic group, your racial group, and your cultural group all are a broader family to you.
Like you've got your nuclear family and you've got an extended family.
Well, the nation is like the extended, extended family.
We are still, in a sense, you know, all one family.
Well, that's what you're supposed to be.
You know, nationhood, after all, it's derived from natal nativity, you know, birth.
And if we don't share these things in common, I'm sorry, guy.
I just don't care as much about you.
It's not like a personal affront.
It doesn't mean that I just completely hate you, but I don't have room to care about you.
I don't have room.
We have so many problems of our own.
And maybe if things were better, I'd be a little bit more interested in that telescopic philanthropy that Christians love to engage in so much, but we don't have it that way.
And so until such a time as my people have their own land, they get to be super, you know, demographic, super majority, unquestioned, and not have to, you know, just be one among many groups within a nation squabbling over resources and squabbling over, you know, social standing, power, politics.
You know, until we have our own sense of destiny and purpose, don't expect me to give a fuck about what's going on across the seas.
I don't care, man.
I don't care at all.
And I don't feel bad about that.
I know people would be like, you're evil.
That's bad.
You need to repent.
Fuck off.
Okay, fuck off.
And you know what?
Actually, shame on you for not caring about our own problems.
Just because we have material prosperity, or a lot of us do.
I mean, things have gotten worse for a lot of people.
The prosperity has kind of been shrinking a lot.
But just because we have things materially better than some people in Nigeria, so the fuck what?
We still have our own problems.
We still have our own problems.
And I'm not going to be pressured to just care extra because of, you know, materiality.
Because, well, we have it materially better here.
Ergo, I need to shift my cares and concerns to other people.
Fuck that.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
We're looking at the wholesale erasure of my people, the wholesale erasure of my race, little by little, gradually enough, where people have the luxury of telescopic philanthropy.
They have the luxury of thinking, well, we have it so good.
Let's care about literally everyone else but us.
Yeah, it's a luxury that has been afforded to us by all this prosperity and by religious thinking, by universalism.
And this is the price of universalism.
And it's not one I'm willing to pay.
And you might be willing to pay it, but I'm not.
Okay.
So I just wanted to kind of dump those thoughts.
Like I said, sitting in some of these Bible studies, I would just hear things said back and forth.
And he has like one fellow in particular, real friendly guy.
He's been very nice and welcoming to me.
But it is very obvious to me that he is of a very egalitarian, somewhat socialistic bent.
And where he feels like we are apparently indebted to take care of the sick and the needy and the widows, of just anybody who shows up.
Well, I'm sorry, man.
Like our Constitution isn't the Sermon on the Mount, right?
And I don't want it to be.
The Sermon on the Mount as an idea is supposed to be sort of a constitution of the kingdom of God.
Well, that's not just wherever you are.
And I'm just letting you know, I don't abide by this at this point.
And once the smoke cleared, I was just like, yeah, no, this is bullshit.
I can't do this.
But, you know, just even technically speaking, you go in there and you go into the Bible and it's supposed to be the constitution sort of of a people, of a kingdom, a kingdom that, according to the gospels, was rejected, right?
But, you know, I could tell that this fellow, he has a very sermon on the mount attitude for everyone.
And apparently, just, I guess, doesn't see a problem at all with importing all of these foreigners.
And then I guess we're supposed to be guilty or feel guilty if we don't just warm up to them and cozy up to them and want to take care of their sick and needy and their widows and what the fuck ever else.
Sorry, man.
I just don't care about these people.
I see people washing up with their hands out and all this other shit.
They don't care about me.
They don't care about my family.
They don't care about my nation.
They don't care about my future, my destiny.
They do not care.
They care about getting their open hand filled with something.
That is very obvious to me.
And I'm not going to be badgered or guilted about it.
Okay.
I don't feel bad.
I don't feel bad.
So those are my thoughts.
You know, I hope that makes sense.
It's again, it's one of the many problems that stem from having a universalistic attitude.
And that very universalism, again, it's the first thing that snapped me out of it again.
I was just like, dude, okay, don't lie to yourself.
This is still universalist.
You still don't care about Tyrone.
And you still don't care about Shaniqua.
And you don't care about, you know, the Jonathan Greenblatts of the world.
I don't care at all, one bit.
And I don't feel bad about it.
Do they care about me?
You know, do they care about my people?
Is there some big kilt trip for them to care?
It's just, I'm supposed to just uniquely be piled on with a guilt trip and to do to do something about it because you know, it's righteous or something like that.
It's not, it's not righteous.
To me, there's nothing righteous about it.
So anyway, folks, I hope you're doing well.
