Why Is The Alt Right Obsessed With This Poem?

1. Norman

   THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling

   It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.

   They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.

   Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.

   It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.

   It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

   The glorious must raise up the lowly.

   Take up the White Man's burden — Send forth the best ye breed — Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild — Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.

   Take up the White Man's burden — In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit, And work another's gain.

   Take up the White Man's burden — The savage wars of peace — Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought.

   Take up the White Man's burden — No tawdry rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper — The tale of common things. The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go make them with your living, And mark them with your dead.

   Take up the White Man's burden — And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard — The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light: — "Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?"

   Take up the White Man's burden — Ye dare not stoop to less — Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness; By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you.

   Take up the White Man's burden — Have done with childish days — The lightly profferred laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise.

   Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers!

   I think it is pretty clear that white people shouldn't have bothered.

   I think that it is a poem to the complacent. Perhaps it means that those that are understanding of others and accepting are not complacent , that sympathy is often considered a sign of weakness where it should not be. I also think it is a warning to people that think otherwise.
