DEAR PATRIARCHY

I hope it’s OK to ask to work through this with you.

We have been conquered by lies (pseudoscience mostly) distributed to our women and underclasses just as the greeks and roman were conquered by lies (christian authoritarian mysticism) distributed to our women and underclasses. We have lost control of our media, academy, and school due to the perverse incentive of hyper-consumption.

The best political religion I know of is Roman law. The best common religion is nature and hero worship. The best personal religion is stoicism. And our competitive advantage in the ancient and modern worlds has been truth, trust, commons, technology and war. While in the middle period we were terribly weakened by Christianity. So weak that without the conquest of the viking pagans we would not have survived the ongoing muslim conquest.

I understand the importance of pulpit and doctrine. But I can find nothing of value in Christianity other than its continuation of natural law, and its institutional emphasis on the family as the unit of production, reproduction, and government.

Yes, the church introduced (for selfish purposes): The forcible prohibition on inbreeding. The forcible extension of property (legal) rights to women. The persuasive educational introduction of chivalry as a means of absorbing males into the commons. B

But the creation of northern Europe was the result of manorialism -small business that limited the reproduction of the lower classes and redistributed wealth and reproduction to the middle and upper classes. Combined with the aggressive use of hanging to gradually domesticate the recalcitrant lower classes. The wars and plagues, winters and famines that kept their numbers under control. The rise of the Hansa society and it’s extension of middle class wealth. Our rediscovery of greek and roman thought that brought us advanced science and technology. And the printing press that gave us an advantage over the rest of the world in using this knowledge.

If anything those countries last to be converted survived far better than those countries first to be converted to christianity. The earlier that they were converted the worse they are today.

The church like the present state claimed responsibility for virtues while distributing harms. But there is little evidence that the church contributed rather than held back our civilization.

Today’s pulpit is academy and press. This is a profoundly destructive combination since they distribute hyperconsumption largely to women and the underclasses instead of suppressing the underclasses. In effect, we are **re-wilding** the world, and reversing thousands of years of our ancestor’s domestication of man.

So when we say ‘return to tradition’, I see the importance of a return to the suppression of the underclasses, a continuation of domestication of the world, a return to the family rather than the individual as the central unit of production and reproduction. An end to the downward redistribution of productivity. An ongoing suppression of impulsivity in the commons. We must render the commons sacred once again and therefore prohibit it from consumption by the hordes.

The church provided the underclass population with love, care, and insurance. And a modicum of useful information. It was always a tool of the aristocracy in the north. But where the church gained power in the south, the catholic countries, all was worse, and remains so.

Even venice was just an outpost for the byzantines, and provided their navy. Christianity was just a way of controlling the underclasses. It was decoration not substance.

The most important institution that developed in Europe was the finance system of the templars, yet the church killed them off in order to relieve its debt. The revolutions against the monarchy were more so against the church ownership of land, and its parasitism than it was against the emergent private state.

What upset the order was the rifle as much as the industrial revolution. What destroyed our order was grant of equal status to women in the government. It took women 100 years to make use of the work of jewish thinkers once again to destroy our order once again, and bring about another ‘christian’ dark age. Yet this was the result of christian incentives not aristocratic or paternal incentives.

All religions bind. The value in binding is universal. That is separate from the content and result of teachings. The good in christianity comes from the ritual and the shared teaching that binds us together as a society under an authoritarian, domesticating, paternal order of the family, rather than an egalitarian, dysgenic, feminine order of hyper consumption of all that we have accumulated over the centuries since our ancestors first combined horse, wheel, and bronze into chariot and created the Aristocratic, Paternal Order and began domesticating man.

So why must we restore that which by the evidence, if not by our Intuition, is part and parcel of our conquest?

Why not use the church, and alter the experience to teach that which must be learned, to continue our traditional domestication of man? Why not return to the unstated religion of raising man to the transcendent gods we imagine in our myths and legends?

Why reintroduce the babylonian mysticism that has been so detrimental and that we have worked so hard to escape?

The germans have at least twice tried to overcome christianity and failed. And it is our anglo CHRISTIANITY that caused them to fail.

We have been wrong in the english speaking world many times.

And each time we have been wrong it has been our christianity driving us. And each time we have hurt western civilization it has been in an attempt to constrain our reemergent indo-european pagan intuitions.

Christianity and Judaism are the reasons we suffer not our salvation. There has been one secret to the success of the west in the ancient and modern worlds, and that is truth, reason, science, a love of nature, and our desire to transcend into the gods we worship.

We require pulpit, church and canon. But not the destructive one of the byzantines, babylonians, Egyptians and Jews. We have our own gods, heroes, history, and our accomplishments with our own outshine those of all others combined.
