Admiral Togo on the bridge of the Mikasa during the Battle of Tsushima. An experienced commander with a well disciplined fleet under his command, the Russian opposition was poorly led and exhausted following their long marathon from European Russia. The original objective had been Port Arthur, but with the city already having fallen, and thus no blockade to break, the Russian fleet had been ordered to reach Vladivostok and avoid combat, but were faced with no alternative when caught in the narrow Tsushima Straits.

In recent times it has been fashionable to talk of the levelling of nations, of the disappearance of different races in the melting-pot of contemporary civilization. I do not agree with this opinion, but its discussion remains another question. Here it is merely fitting to say that the disappearance of nations would have impoverished us no less than if all men had become alike, with one personality and one face. Nations are the wealth of mankind, its collective personalities; the very least of them wears its own special colours and bears within itself a special facet of divine intention.

Race is the key building block of any real community and the farthest meaningful grouping to which we can give our loyalty. We know that genetic similarity and kinship patterns affect our behavior every day, even in ways we don’t expect. We know that children are race conscious as early as nine months. We know that people are mentally healthier in ethnically homogenous societies. We know diversity destroys social trust, eventually, even within members of the same ethnic group. The ancients knew this, and modern science confirms it.
Our society’s frantic efforts to escape these truths gives us the farce that passes for a public debate in a multiethnic democracy, when major magazines can publish breathless cover stories like “Is your baby racist?” without irony. We set up entire social systems and ideologies at odds with our most basic instincts, and wonder why the world seems to have lost its mind.
