    THE MILITIA SEPARATES THE WEST FROM THE REST

    by ‎Ryan Williams‎

    The militia is the institution that is the causal source of the West’s success – that which separates us from the rest of the world.

    To be a Propertarian is to prosecute lies

    To prosecute, you must have the means to coerce

    To coerce you must have weapons

    To use weapons you must have skill

    To have skill you must practice

    To practice you must have discipline

    Leave the momentary pleasures behind, and go sharpen your tools. We have work to do.

    “Teach him he must deny himself,” said Lee. That was the general’s advice to a young mother who brought her infant to him after the War Between the States to receive his blessing.

    The problem with spreading our social order is (a) demographic distribution and (b) degree of civilization.

    In practice we should see Aryanism (markets for rule) expandable only into areas that did not have the ability to expand the underclass, and did not possess a large underclass, and face little tribal conflict.

    Conversely we should see the worst behavior among peoples who have expansive underclasses, the agrarian or pastoral ability to expand those underclasses, and lots of territorial competition from other kin groups.

    And that is what we see

  • WHY WERE WESTERNERS UNSUCCESSFUL AT EXPORTING ARYANISM (MARKETS) by Simon Ström

    WHY WERE WESTERNERS UNSUCCESSFUL AT EXPORTING ARYANISM (MARKETS)

    by Simon Ström

    By merely establishing rule, a small minority of conquerors do not have the resources to alter the basic fabric of social organization in a region that is already populous, wealthy and has a rigid socio-political system that works for them and is adapted to the local natural incentives.

    Like the Mongols in China or Iran, the conquerors are rather the ones who are subject to assimilation, although they might retain or even spread their language and symbolism as a function of its prestige.

    In order to permeate all society, the imposed, foreign evolutionary strategy must be carried by greater numbers than that, or at least powerful enough mechanisms of overcoming the inertia of “immunological rejection” of non-self cultural impulses.

    The lesser the primordial differences in genes, culture and natural incentives between conqueror and conquered, the lesser the need of great numbers in order to assimilate through elite dominance.

    1. Small minority conquest: dynastic turnover, insignificant gene flow and socio-cultural regression to the median. Examples: Yuan dynasty, Hittites, Gothic Spain, British Raj.

    (Early Indo-Aryans were close to 1, but gravitated somewhat toward 2)

    2. Sizable minority conquest: significant gene flow (amalgamation), socio-cultural regression to the mean. Examples: Corded Ware horizon, Roman Gaul, Latin America.

    3. Great majority conquest: displacement, insignificant or no gene flow, complete socio-cultural continuation of the conquerors. Examples: North America, Kosovo, West Bank (future).

    So the obstacles of exporting our strategy are:

    – They don’t want it. They can profit from modernization without Westernization.

    – Military dominance won’t cut it. You need to dominate kinship and the social fabric.

    – The cost of export is too great because we are too different. Rule might be profitable, but assimilation? Questionable. We have evolved to pursue our strategy for millennia, others have not.

    – Simon Ström

    From Curt:

    The problem with spreading our social order is (a) demographic distribution and (b) degree of civilization. In practice we should see Aryanism (markets for rule) expandable only into areas that did not have the ability to expand the underclass, and did not possess a large underclass, and face little tribal conflict.

    As someone pointed out today, Duchesne’s observation, is that Aryanism (markets) have been impossible to export despite our long standing military superiority. They only work on europeans.

    Why?

    VIA-NEGATIVA OF GODS

    Rome was pagan all along, and christians were a tiny minority, The emperor’s emphasis on the SI cult was somewhat of an attempt to bring unity (monotheism) to the empire, by expanding the cult of mithras. Its fairly obvious that the christians basically attempted to defeat the martial cult of the western roman empire by appropriating mithraism, the sol invictus cult, and the submission demanded of the jewish and persion and egyptians gods, and then justified it later with the biblical readings and instittions. So the army was infected by exposure to the persians from alexander onward. We already practice polytheism today. The question is not which gods we will all follow, but WHICH GODS WE WILL OUTLAW AND DESTROY.

    Let me say that again. Via Negativa: We destroy the false gods, the false rationalism, and the false sciences, and only the true gods, the true rationalisms, and the true sciences remain.

    WE NEED NOT INVENT NEW GODS TO FOLLOW BUT DEFEAT ALL GODS THAT ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH NATURAL LAW

    (from elsewhere)

    Actually, yes German is a guttural and ‘costly’ language to speak. All languages mature by the same means from the most guttural (semitic/arabic) to the less so (russian, ukrainian), to the less so, (german/polish/french), to the less so (italian, spanish). Each evolutionary step rotates more costly sounds for less costly sounds. So while german may be more advanced than Dutch, it is less advanced than english and far less than Italian. I would agree that German is probably the ‘best’ language on earth at present – un-hobbled as is english by the mixture of old german, old french, and old latin that is today’s English. And I would agree (aside from post-war self-hatred and loss of and appreciation for aristocracy) that german culture was and probably has been for the past millennium, the best culture on earth (because of the remnants of the ‘oath’). And yes, I would agree that there is a great difference between the age and pronunciation of a language and the content of ideas expressed in its vocabulary. And yes, I would agree that we can see the future of german language losing the guttural, and moving forward on the palate, in rapid casual speech. But at present, yes, its guttural, and sounds ‘primitive’ to those cultures that have lost the guttural.

    I consider German the ‘best’ language, despite the, …, retention of primitive pronunciation. In part because of its use of compounds rather than adding new terms. In part because of its construction. In part because of its content. But must of all, because it’s METAPHYSICAL content: the patterns of assumptions and values in the vocabulary.

    Unfortunately, german retains gendered nouns and grammar, as well as guttural pronunciation (Russian is far worse).

    English degrades relatively gracefully, because it requires about 300 words to speak about almost anything, but one increases vocabulary for greater precision, not GRAMMAR. And the vocabulary is currently around 1M words. (the vast majority of which, I admit to knowing.) The spelling retention is partly to signal the reader which root language it’s from: German (farmer), French(ruler), Latin or Greek(intellectual).

    I’ve seen most people struggle with the ‘precision’ of english. in particular the propositions. English is a high precision low context language, that is not fault tolerant. it is very good for law, logic, and software programming for that reason. (just as german is better for sentimental prose).

    if we taught english with a little role-play, so that the spelling signaled which person (common-farmer, court-ruler, scholar-intellectual) was speaking and in which accent, it would probably help quite a bit.

    Besides the enormous vocabulary, english is very sensitive to manners (graces) because of our hierarchical class history. So we have all sorts of polite speech that is required, where in german Bitte’ serves many purposes. One of the things I like about english is the signaling of status cues as a means of conveying one’s degree of culture. I find this frustrating in some other languages because I use those english subtleties and I can’t in other languages.

    Anyway.

    Between english, german, and italian you pretty much can get the best of all worlds. And despite my ancestry I find very little good to say about french other than it’s what happens when posturing and effeminate signaling develop into a substitute for merit in mind, body, and achievement.
