  • Since I work with what is unique about the west, and am fairly hostile to easter

    Since I work with what is unique about the west, and am fairly hostile to eastern mysticisms of all kinds, I prefer to stick with european history. The vast difference between european religion’s tech, magic, tendency to historicize, and tendency to sacrifice ritualize is ours.

  • There is only one book in world literature that is an equal to the western canon

    There is only one book in world literature that is an equal to the western canon, and that is the art of war, although the european works of Machiavelli, are more advanced, the universal applicability of the first of all does it best.

    THE LESSON OF THE ART OF WAR

    It is an essay in the amoral (not immoral). We spend so much time in moral mind, we leave ourselves open to defeat. So,he retrains us to think objectively rather than morally. It is not a book about war. It is a book by which we restore agency, lost in the training of our norms.

    READ WHAT IS CLEARLY THE SUPERIOR CANON

    —“read the book of …. “—

    No. Read Aesop’s Fables, Grimm’s Tales, The Carolingian and Arthurian Legends, and Nibelungenlied, the Völsunga saga, and the Poetic Edda, the Greek Myths, The Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid, The Life of Alexander, The Republic of Plato, The Works of Aristotle, The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, The Prince by Machiavelli, ….

    There is no comparison on earth.

    Silly children’s stories of the world’s underclass carry no lessons for men.

  • WILL YOU ACT? Europeans built the only high trust labor, working, middle, and up

    WILL YOU ACT?

    Europeans built the only high trust labor, working, middle, and upper middle classes in the world. The american experiment was an attempt to give the high trust classes their own government without the church or state parasites of all of history. The left’s objective has been to hollow out that high trust middle class and produce another small upper class and vast governable underclass. And it’s been working.

    The only question is whether you will join with others to do something in order to change it, and reverse the conquest of the THIRD WAY.

  • Western Heroism and Semitic Submission – the Masculine versus The Feminine Across 3500 Years of History

    WESTERN HEROISM and SEMITIC SUBMISSION – THE MASCULINE VERSUS THE FEMININE ACROSS 3500 YEARS OF HISTORY (thanks to whomever asked me to comment) [I]t’s a very simple difference. Agency vs Submission. Heathens (Pagans in the pejorative) in western civilization are imagined heroes in competition with the spirits(dead), non-humans(green man, primitive man), demigods(powerful but mortal), and gods (powerful and immortal), and can, by effort and cunning outwit them – or – negotiate (bribe) them. This is a universal artifact of the conquest and replacement of european peoples by the westward expansion of the indo-europeans (Yaman, Corded ware et al) and their Militaristic, Expansionist, Sky Worshipping, Metalsmithing, business of profiting from the domestication of animal man, with horse, bronze, wheel and their very visible power over nature. It is a religion of agency not submission. Demand for a “religion of empires” increases with the distribution of peoples under rule, and the group strategies of those people under rule, and the compatibilities of those group’s strategies under such a universal rule. The semitic methodology of INVERTING the aristocratic (western) ethos by converting the bible of greco roman civilization (iliad of homer) which occupied the vast majority of writings in the greco roman period, with a ‘hero’ of ‘submission and resistance’ was an interesting strategy by which the vast underclasses of the old european (byzantine), and greco-anatolian, syrian levantine world could create a resistance movement by the cultural destruction of their superiors, Just as the Marxists (Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Mises, Adorno et al, Rothbard, and the neocons) repeated 1700 years later (monopoly marxism of private property, monopoly marxism of common property, monopoly marxism of identity-property (culture)). The Semitic method of undermining was as successful in the Modern world (undermining colonialism) as it was in the ancient world (undermining colonialism). False promise of salvation after death. False promise of economic salvation. False promise of cultural (identity) salvation. The method of using sophism (false promise + sophism (Pilpul) + Straw Manning (Critique) is in fact a successful method of undermining a civilization that is overwhelmed by overextension, and profiting from overextension through commerce, and the dependence of commerce at international scales on trust. Christianity succeeded because trade collapsed in europe after (a) undermining by jewish-christian vanguard, (b) enforcement by byzantine (old world, greek) defeat of rome, and (c) collapse of world trade under arab-muslim expansion, (d) and the eventual consumption of all capital of the great civilizations of the ancient world, and the destruction of all those civilizations as a consequence. So, as trade and knowledge increased, europeans gradually (expectedly) extracted themselves from Semitic superstition, the church’s’ monopoly on information and literacy, the 50% of dead capital in europe under the church. and the corruption of the church as a monopoly federal government selling false receipts of salvation the way the current academy sells false diplomas. Given that the remains of Christianity are what leave us vulnerable to Semiticism (abrahamic monotheism, marxism-socialism-postmodernism-feminism, and the use of false promise, sophism, straw-manning, and the discount on disapproval, shaming, ridicule, moralizing, rallying as a substitute for truthful (scientific, rational) argument. It is only logical that the aristocratic right in Europe (using literary philosophy, moralism, and history) and aristocratic right in the States (using law and, economics, and science) should produce arguments to restore our native religion of the hearth to one that is heroic and expansionary rather than submissive and assisting in our surrender. Nothing in human behavior or history is difficult. It’s all simple. Once you understand that nearly all use of language is simply means of lying in order to obtain discounts on the acquisition of the power to alter the probability of outcomes in one’s favor. And all we do is search for narratives to echo (script). Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine https://arktos.com/2018/10/31/alain-de-benoist-paganism-and-the-neo-christian-west/
