Key Points of Wisdom
- [00:25:29] “Of all these, the racial is the most fundamental because it will be the most enduring.” (Madison Grant on the lasting impact of racial composition)
- [00:39:34] “The theory of allowing immigrants into this country was based on the erroneous idea that Americans can be made out of any kind of racial material.” (Madison Grant on assimilation)
- [01:20:42] “The subjugation of white lands by coloured armies may of course occur... However, such coloured triumphs of arms are less to be dreaded than more enduring conquests like migrations, which would swamp whole populations and turn countries now white into coloured man's lands, irretrievably lost.” (Lothrop Stoddard on migration vs. military threat)
- [01:29:45] “Now what must be the inevitable result of all this? It can mean only one thing. A tremendous and steadily augmenting outward thrust of surplus coloured men from overcrowded coloured homelands.” (Lothrop Stoddard on demographic pressure)
- [02:09:02] “Cohesive instinct is as vital to race as gravitation is to matter. Without them, atomic disintegration would alike result.” (Lothrop Stoddard on white solidarity)
- [02:17:13] “Weakened and impoverished by Armageddon, handicapped by an unconstructive peace and facing internal Bolshevist disaffection, which must at all cost be mastered, the white world is ill prepared to confront the rising tide of colour.” (Lothrop Stoddard on postwar challenges)

- [03:25:43] “You can build your own dynasty. That's a way of incorporating what you're talking about. You can build your, you know, have a family—a big one or as big as you think you can support and build a dynasty with.” (Devon Stack on family and legacy)
