Note: The premise of the speech is what I would say if I were given the opportunity to give an elevator pitch for my ideas to a billionaire. I chose to imagine Jeff Bezos as the recipient because I know he is NOT ideologically aligned with me. The arguments may be too materialistic for my own tastes, but they are designed to persuade someone who wouldn’t be swayed by arguments centred on heritage or spirituality.

Dear Mr. Bezos,

You and I live in different worlds. I live in your average apartment and work a standard 9-5 job. You live in a hilltop mansion and oversee a global corporate empire. I won’t ask you to look at it from my perspective because we’re worlds apart. Look at it from your own. You are being flown around the world on a private jet, eating caviar and wagyu beef, and drinking Dom Perignon. Undeniably, you have a pretty good life. The current order has served you well. Why would you want it to change?

What is your lifestyle contingent upon? You need a pilot to fly you around the world on your private jet. You need airports with air traffic controllers to land it at. You need an aerospace engineering company to design it. You need an agricultural industry to produce your caviar, wagyu beef, and champagne, and you need a complex logistics network to get your caviar to you from the Black Sea, your wagyu beef to you from Japan, and your champagne to you from France.

All of this is contingent on the highly competent human capital required to maintain such complex infrastructure, something which the present-day egalitarian zeitgeist of the Western world erodes by its very nature. While acknowledging such may run contrary to the established morality of our time, the reality is that the quality of a society which makes your lifestyle possible could only be created by one populated predominantly by people of European ancestry. This is what is in the process of being erased as a result of the West’s current demographic trajectory. Low-cost migrant labour might have been beneficial to you when building your fortune, but increased automation will make such a labour force obsolete. Why burden the potential for further technological advancement by continuing to import populations who will be a massive net liability?

Now, you may be thinking that you can import competent and high-IQ labour from Asia. It is true that there are millions of capable doctors, engineers, programmers, and so forth in Asia with the competence to maintain a high-quality society. It’s not simply a question of competence, however, but also loyalty. Arab, Chinese, Indian, and Jewish billionaires all see themselves as belonging to their respective civilizations. Regardless of how you see yourself, they consider you as a competitor in relation to their civilizational pursuits. They have an interest in supplanting you for their own civilizational gain. Staffing your empire with competent foreigners will backfire in the long run, when their loyalties are revealed to lie elsewhere.

As a white man, your status is inextricably linked to the West. In order for you to remain on top, you need the West to remain on top. You may have it good now, but in order to keep it that way, the zeitgeist must change. You need the West to be predominantly populated by people of European ancestry with higher-than-replacement-level birthrates as well as a sense of duty and loyalty to their broader civilization. That is what will keep the private jets flying, the caviar coming, and the champagne flowing.
