Thanksgiving is a perfectly American-held tradition. An early celebration can be found in 1619, coming off the ship Margaret of Bristol, arriving in Jamestown, VA with 36 surviving Englishmen. Their charter declared Thanks to God for their safe arrival and the continuation of their offspring.
A time later, most famously, the Mayflower landed up North, establishing Plymouth Colony, celebrating their Thanksgiving in 1621. And they had a lot to be grateful for. Of the 102 passengers on the Mayflower, nearly half perished. Of the remaining, only 51 bore children, who alone went on to become over 85,000 three centuries later.
Today, there are over 30 million connected descendants from that one single ship, and millions from the others. Those of Colonial descent belong to a rich, powerful Nation, one that excels in science and business up North, and breeds soldiers and statements down South. Be thankful for your blood and the struggle it has gone through.

As much as we cherish our American Eagle, great respect is owed to our native Turkey bird. Some say that on Thanksgiving day, we have two national birds: one that brings peace in all our states, the other to leave a piece on all our plates. Benjamin Franklin called Turkey the more respectable bird, ‘it could charge a Grenadier with no fear’.
The Turkey is, above that, a feat of genuine conservation. Saved from near extinction, these birds were brought from thousands last century to over 6 million today. Patriots could learn from the turkey: be fierce and fertile in the face of danger, it's never over.

What holds man back is often that which can move us forward: nature itself. It is a legal system by which we must live and learn, for better or worse. That hard law would best be applied as one we enforce, rather than merely exist under. This is the philosophy of selective breeding, to take the reins of what ‘humanity’ will be made.
We hurt most under the passive mode of society, cycling between democracy and aristocracy. The two, in effect, only shift around our burdens. Where the former may corral cancer, granting votes and polls, the latter tries to contain it, separate and slowed—neither will escape the growth.
How could Roman glory become an Empire of mud if not by falling away from serious standards? Or Spain, a fierce foe at one point, turn into a footnote the next? An active society is needed, one careful of its conditions, informed of useful traditions, and willing to cut out what won't keep up.

England for centuries shed the poor-being and bred the well-born, the results showed themselves through near world domination—that is in science and in settlement. Her many colonies were successful by merit of what the colonisers consisted of, by virtue of what they carried over and continued.
From a stream of settlers, up to 80% of significant figures, 60% of scientists, 90% of stand-up citizens, and 90% of the 1787 attendees in America were of British stock, likewise the British-blood ran Australia, New Zealand and beat the rest in Canada.
This kind of high-quality spread deserves a successor who studies their heritage and intends to surpass its heights. The same applies with every possible eminent nation, in France or Italy or Germany, Netherlands and so on—all hold somewhere in their pedigree greatness in heredity that can, if selected, become the common good.

The Darwin-Galton family tree is alone an inspiration to seek good heritage. Science literally runs in this family. Every other man born was successful, continued across two centuries, leaving an effort that is forever.

There is no racial equality. The doctrine of the equality of man was never intended to apply to the equality of the Englishman and the [others]. There is a deep-set difference, and we see no prospect and no promise of its ever being effaced. . . .
— Prime Minister Edmund Barton
Australia made itself the first nation of a continent; a continent bearing a face that was all White, a body thoroughly British, and the Australians planned to keep it.
White Australia was the gospel, not the goal; Australians understood: to keep clean and safe your race must be the priority of every place. Australia deserves that peace, and it is worth every fight to get there.

David Starr Jordan answers the question of all time: how and why did Rome fall? The harvest of its humanity was bad. For all the population growth there were not more ‘people’; the greatness of emperors was no match for the mediocrity of the masses.

If you are hoping for an extreme change you must be the extremist to start it, and you need friends to make it happen.
The work of Madison Grant saved species like the Bison from extinction, inspired Teddy Roosevelt to form National Parks, led to the Immigration Act of 1917 and 1924, and even the writing of Mein Kampf.
Robert D. C. Ward compiled surveys and studies to shut down immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe; Prescott F. Hall lobbied to create the framework for public charge laws, literacy tests and deportation agents. Lothrop Stoddard made sterilization and eugenic birth control a nationwide phenomenon, so on, and all of this within a short period of time.

Prior to 1880s and 1960s mass migration and the modern diet, Americans were about the tallest and fittest people alive.
Mediterranean migrants, the Hispanics and Asians dropped America's average stature several inches; processed food contributed to the decline by stunting natural growth.
The worsened physical composition of America, completed by a worse ethnic complexion, is a largely artificed problem we can reverse by consuming Real Food and committing to full-scale Remigration.

Like the difference in lactose tolerance and lactase persistence across ethnicities or the variation in handling alcohol consumption, the inheritance of addiction, habitual greed and innate physical strength, grip strength, there is a ‘constitutional’ preference with diet and body of which we should mind.
South Asians for instance bear a higher risk of developing the pudgy 'skinny fat' build; Hispanics have a greater diabetes type 2 problem and worse teeth regardless of access to treatment. This has implications on mental health, group fighting success, and general pleasantness to be around.
The ugly appearance of many foreigners, their dislikeable culinary practices as well, even if not criminal, is an offense to public well-being we all tend to feel deep-down.
