There’s a lot of discussion about the Hajnal Line within the HBD and Maul-Right wokeweb, and rightly so because it’s an important concept and theoretical framework which goes a long way to explaining our current scourge of pathological altruism afflicting Anglosphere Whites. That in mind, I offer a succinct primer on Hajnalianism for any readers who are unfamiliar with the idea.
Enfant Terrible asks,
What’s a East-hajnalian?
It refers to any White European born and raised outside of the Hajnal Line, a geographic boundary that roughly separates Northwest Europe from South and East Europe based on historical patterns of out-group altruism (ie cuckery) that likely evolved under selective pressure from a variety of sociocultural inputs and that has now become pathologically suicidal in the modern environment of rapid intercontinental travel and social media-fueled virtue signaling status arms races.
The Hajnal Line may be the key that explains every insane leftoid subversion of Western White nations that we see unfolding today.
Hope this helps.
The difference is that those countries west of the Hajnal line have benefited from too much prosperity, that gives people an idea that things can only get better all the time, even with a lot of immigration, it weakens men too as prosperity rarely makes a man stronger(the most alpha guys come from cultures where living is tough and street smarts must be developed.)

Being West of the Hajnal line doesn’t just mean higher out-group altrusim. It also means things like higher average IQ, more class flexibility, lower homicide rates, less inbreeding, etc.
Basically, less clannishness means less automatic distrust of others, which leads to all sorts of good things. It may also mean that you’re slower to react to out-group threats, of course.
[CH: Inner Hajnalianism is a poison pill, and despite all those wondrous benefits you list the West has swallowed that pill and the poison is strong enough to kill a horse.]

Less corruption, too.
The west-of-Hajnal society was a gift… but it doesn’t work too well under conditions of nihilistic secularism, to say the least.
It may have arisen in the first place because of Catholicism. The Franks when they first converted were disgusting, sneaky, bastardly thugs — the definite impression you get from reading Joinville’s accounts of them. It’s quite ironic that it’s precisely the west-of-Hajnal societies that have rejected Catholicism the most thoroughly.
[CH: the catholic church forbade cousin marriage in europe’s early history. that, plus manorialism, were probably the two biggest contributing factors to the emergence of a hajnal-split europe. ironically, the church banned cousin marriage for selfish reasons — it didn’t want family money escaping church coffers — which unwittingly unleashed a glorious european greatness that in the end largely discarded the catholicism which was its birth mother.]

Irony: John Hajnal was a Jew from Hungary and “hajnal” means “dawn” in Hungarian (pronounced “haynal”). (Also a female name in Hungary.)

Could you say by way of illustration of the Hajnal Line that Polacks and Magyars have met both Muslims and unrestrained leftism, and are therefore “redpilled” from experience, whereas Londoners and Parisians have only encountered Muslims who either behaved themselves or kept to their enclaves, and leftists balanced by other political elements, and are therefore falsely confident?
[CH: you’re touching upon what I call the Secular Muslim Syndrome. That is, lib whites living in expensive culture bubbles only come in contact with the 0.1% of muslims who are competent and compatible with white civilization. this distorts the white libs’ worldview and feeds their virtue signaling for open borders, but that reality distortion field will crack once the numbers of vibrants exceeds the carrying capacity of white libs’ self-delusions.]

This. High-IQ people tend to only interact with other high-IQ people on a regular basis. High-IQ foreigners can assimilate more easily, etc. If the world was only made up of high IQ people, there might actually be a shot at the ShitLibs dream of a Kumbaya world. Maybe. Probably not even then. But the low-IQ immigrants, which are most of them, are a totally different story. Huge numbers of them are in the “evil 80s” IQ range, high crime because they’re not smart enough to compete but just smart enough to plan basic crimes.

I called to “bring back the Freikorps”. But when I suggested what needed to be done:

3. 6 babies per woman
4. White homeland
5. Deport all of them
…all I got was “there will be a white hot vengeance”. talk talk talk blah blah blah
Plus some bullshit from CH about how Erdogan’s have-five-babies slogan is a bad idea. WTF? It’s the only idea that can save whitey.

In regards to the “five Babies” deal; yeah if the breeding doesn’t keep up.

shouldn’t you include the extreme individualism of Western Whites into the equation?
individualism plus altruism removes consideration about those around you (extended family) should your act of altruism prove noxious. after all, if an act of kindness backfires, only the individual providing it would suffer, in the bubble of the individualistic mind.
in contrast, we Eastern Whites, backward, clannish, collectivist, whatever, think of those around us (kin) first.
altruism isn’t a foreign concept East of the Hajnal line of course. it’s reserved for kin, that’s the difference.
