Talking about the sarracen woman...

It is very simple: the Christian, white, Franc and European people are the good ones. The black and pagans are the bad ones. There is nothing relative about this values; loyalty is not a value unless someone is loyal to the Christian, white, Franc and Euorpean people. Women who are loyal to their own blood are simply bad women, even though, or especially if they show the same virtues that Christians show to their own people. Values are not some abstract premises that claim to be universal standards as Kant´s ethics. The true values are the values that we believe and we believe them because they are ours; the beautiful women are our white blond women. If someone can marvel about this phenomenon, is because he or she did not watch cowboys movies in where the pale faces were always the good ones and the red skins were the bad guys. A nationalist narrative is not the search of the Universal Good or a treatise of ethics: is simply the affirmation of a nation –or an ethnicity in this case –as the holders of the truth. If there is a desirable princess for one of “our” princes, it is because she is in some way similar to us. This truth is not a metaphysic one. These texts are so far from that! This truth is the kind of truth that Nietzsche used to declare: “Truth is what is convenient to life.” Not what is convenient to every life, but to “our” life specifically, and that is the life of Christian, white, and European people. This idea is still strong. We just have to look to any TV commercial to acknowledge that “we” still believe that our women are the most beautiful, our religion the only true and our culture the only valuable. This voice spoke through Angela Merkel a few days ago: “We feel tied to Christian values. Those who don’t accept them don’t have a place here…” Middle Ages are finished, are they?
