Cultural Revival
Getting to the root of the problem is never as easy as recognizing the
signs of the problem, or as usually is the case, problems plural that
afflict your civilization. To my mind, life is a good and positive
thing, despite the ominous shadow of death, and thus it's worth doing
right. In my experience, there is a "right way" of doing things with
many internal variations; what makes it the "right way" is not its
methods, but the degree of reality that it recognizes and thus the
values it upholds as means of our adaptation to the reality it can
comprehend. This is the genius of nature: it is by definition esoteric,
in that there are a range of right answers which deliver corresponding
degrees of success, and although there are infinite failing ways of
approaching a problem, there are rarely rigid boundaries in which one
can operate.
In the case of modern society, getting to the root of the problem is
thus the beginnings of a right answer, in that if we can come to
consensus about the basic wrong direction of this society, and thus
posit one in its place, we can begin working toward that change -
independently - in everything we do. If every person known as wise to
their peers described this column in their own interpretation tomorrow,
there would be many right answers in motion, and while this would
produce an approximate solution, it would be better than the current
gridlock of ideas in our society which prevents it from ever changing
from its path of least resistance (failure). (I can already see the
doofus in the back row mouthing slowly "But how is failure a path of
least resistance?" - those who fail congratulate themselves with "there
was no other way" and thus decline to take the responsibility for
success or failure into their own hands.) There are no easy answers in
life, so what is discussed here won't take the form of passive activity
like joining a party, voting for something, or buying a product.
One vector through which a society declines is bad breeding. This is
twofold: first, it decays internally, and by nature of what it rewards,
breeds people to be useless little kumquats who could not operate
outside of a market economy - these people, by definition, are not
vision people; they're profit people, and since they lack any form of
long-term prediction ability, they will conspicuously consume every
nature resource and vital aspect of the society in question, and
replace it with places you can shop for entertainment. Second, it is
destroyed through race-mixing; this is not a polemic against certain
races, as I don't believe there are any "bad" races, but that each race
is optimized for its own culture and rule, and thus that to mix two or
more of them creates a population that has no culture and can only
agree on the lowest common denominator, namely, earning money and
spending it on plastic garbage. If you want to badmouth certain races,
I suggest you consider that such dialogue is entirely extraneous to the
question, which is fixing your society, not wasting energy on someone
else's, even if only to critique it!
Well, race-mixing is certainly a sign of the decline, as is the fact
that we're breeding people to exist on corporate jobs, television and
potato chips, and consequently they're getting dumber every day, even
if our politically-adjusted "IQ" measurement system does not directly
reflect that. Of course it doesn't; you don't make clients by offending
people, nor do you gain voters that way, so in any democratic liberal
system a government and society exists which will busily market itself
to its people and say whatever it thinks they want to hear, with zero
consideration for the effects of this in the long-term, e.g. after the
sale is made. This is in part because a democracy is an inherently bad
idea; to try to get a crowd of people to agree on anything is
difficult, and even harder if the issue isn't as obvious as a giant
rubbery monster attacking Tokyo, which is destructive because almost no
issues in life are that simple. It's no surprise that most societies
fail by converting to democracy, becoming large market and trading
centers, mixing their blood with other tribes and then losing all point
of cultural reference, thus collapsing into giant kleptocracies where
each individual takes all he can and no one is steering the ship. (Such
is also the fate of America; it is already passing into the third world
without much protest from its television-brainwashed citizenry.)
There are other signs of the decline which, if you think about them,
are equally as important as the race issue in that they, too, spell
doom for your people. No sane person would set up a campsite and begin
pouring toxic waste in a circle around it, but that's roughly what
we've done with our society. For each year of industrial society, the
cancer rate has increased, but if you mention that, people consider you
insane - what are you trying to do, take away our jobs and go back to
the caveman era? OK, then. Dying of cancer isn't so terrible. However,
what about the fact that we're eating up natural land to the point
where not only species become extinct, but entire ecosystems are
irretrievably lost? The brainwashed idiots will also debate that
climate change is not a result of industry, pointing out that it could
be also a natural cycle; anyone with half a brain will realize that,
natural cycle or no, depleting ozone layers and filling your atmosphere
with CO2 and industrial gasses will eventually have an effect. They
don't mention this on TV, of course - they like to stick to "facts"
from commercial outfits who, like television stations, have a vested
interest in not upsetting the audience with reality, as that will
decrease the amount of units sold. It's just too easy to say "well
someone will think of it" and go back to 500 channels of cable and
presumably, 500 variations of potato chips to match.
There's another important factor that almost no one mentions: the
"existential-psychological" health of our citizens, which is roughly
defined as how at peace they are with death, having found something to
make life rewarding. Most answer this question with positive
affirmations of their lifestyle, but these answers mean nothing, since
they're unaware of anything outside of it, and are constantly told
they're not depressed. Suicide rates rise, as do mysterious accidents
where people end up dead, but those are by far the minority. The
majority of people slog off to work and deal with the petty politics
and power games one might expect in a democracy, which by putting all
of its emphasis on the individual is necessarily dedicated to the
pretense of the individual, and then come home and take it out on the
family. Their jobs are tedious, and even more frustratingly, they deal
with real fools who have power and demand token allegiance. This causes
an image game to be played, and at this point, jobs take twice as long
as they should and that time is spent on demeaning, submissive labor;
people sublimate their rage and take it out however they can. What kind
of sane society views widespread child abuse, road rage, vandalism,
drug and alcohol abuse etc. as symptoms of insanity? Only one in which
people are so depressed they get a charge out of looking down on
others, and thus are blind to their own suffering.
Taking this a bit further, from the individual to the whole, um, you
live in a shithole. The natural land that's still left is beautiful,
but most of this has been converted into concrete or decimated by
gardeners who slice up ecosystems and replace them with boring little
plantings that only someone of a 97 IQ could love - hey,
coincidentally, that's about the IQ of most corporate gardening staff.
You drive down streets where, outside of a few ceremonial plantings,
the entire visible landscape is concrete, and you are surrounded on
both sides by stores, neon lights, and parking lots. Beautiful, isn't
it? I'll bet the ancient Greeks would have built the Pantheon this way
if only they had the wonderful invention of the car. The Taj Mahal
would also be a sight better with some neon lights, a parking lot
strewn with trash, and maybe a Wal-Mart right next to it. You spend
most of your free time in your car, going places and doing fascinating
things that, while they involve exciting "options" like which product
to buy, end up taking up even more of your time with tasks that
ultimately have zero bearing on your happiness. Because everyone is in
this brain-dead mentality, no one notices that our cities are ugly,
excepting the few sacrificial buildings made to look good for the
cameras, and that our lives are spent serving the rest of our citizens
in the abstract by doing bureaucratic or economic tasks. Remember,
hunter-gatherers spent four hours a day and had the rest of that time
to think and experience. They may not have had cars, but how do you
think their psychology stacked up to ours? Pretty well, I'd say: they
at least noticed their lives going by, and had something to look
forward to besides specialty cable programming.
Even more disturbing is that your society does not accept critique of
itself unless formatted in the narrow type which can be discussed as a
democratic issue, meaning that every big concept gets splintered into
millions of small ones which promptly lose any coherence through the
election process, and thus nothing is done. Even more, you get billed
for it (you also get billed for public schools which force-feed your
students the notion that consumerism is good, that all races are equal,
that democracy is the highest goal of humankind, and that
dysfunctionality is OK-fine because dysfunctional people can work jobs,
too!). People are depressed. They're depressed because they at some
level realize they live in Garbage, Inc. but are unable to articulate
why, or figure out what they'd change, and all around them there is a
constant neurotic babble about how great everything is. Do you doubt
that you have a controlled press when even the anti-war side talks
about how great it is that "democracy" has come to Iraq? Most of you
are too numb to even consider these issues, and, having been
well-taught by television, group anyone who believes in
environmentalism, racial uniqueness, or even things that radio waves
and water-table pollution might be harmful, into the "nut file," and
you feel slightly better about yourselves for being able to put someone
down in that way. Signs of a healthy society? Only in the same way
Kaposi's Sarcoma is a sign of sexual health!
Pointing out the illogicalities, and certain doom, of this society
could go on indefinitely; it's like shooting fish in a barrel, or
playing Monopoly against retards. It's failing and I ask those who deny
that: What are you afraid of? Why are you shunning the obvious, unless
you're so defective and underconfident that you "need to" believe in
this society in order to keep your self-image above suicidal? They'll
spend all day arguing against me, but in the end, it's they who "need"
to convince and I who do not; I know what the eventual future of this
mess is, even if I can't predict exactly when and how it fails, because
I know that illogical systems that cannot change their own direction
eventually run into brick walls, with the impact noise almost drowned
out by the chorus of neurotic voices denying that there's a wall. There
is a wall. Whether it is third-worlding through racial mixture, death
through environmental holocaust, or simply a combination of depleted
oil and gas supplies and a giant population of fetally retarded
television addicts, the wall is waiting. It will not move, but we're
moving. At it. If you grab a helmet, the rest will call you insane.
There is one possibility of avoiding it, and it can be accomplished
within our current ("democratic") system, but it requires that people
wake up and focus on setting aside differences to grasp the truth.
America is an Indo-European country, because that is who founded it,
set up its laws and infrastructure, and continues to the majority of
people in it today. Fewer than 1% of these people owned slaves, or
killed Indians, or any of those guilt-hangups that cause the
television-fed to immediately panic and go into denial when the fact of
America being an Indo-European country is mentioned. Babble on about
guilt projections, and really they are just that, since their
importance is far exaggerated from its actual historical place, if you
want, but don't do it on my dime; I don't care what brick wall you hit.
Similarly, if you're really concerned with empowering NAMBLA members
and retarded Afro-Cuban avantgardists, and you consider that more
important than saving society as a whole, stop reading here; you're
obviously mentally defective yourself. But if you care about fixing the
problem, read on, as it really isn't a complicated problem. However, to
upset those of you who cannot pry the television, Bible or babbling
egalitarian sentiment out of your head, I'll start with the racial
issue.
Of course it makes sense for each race to isolate from all others,
because without isolation, it is rapidly replaced by a mixed-race
population and its culture is discarded. Witness what happened to
ancient Greece, Rome and India when they became cosmopolitan centers:
cultural consensus was lost, and thus there was no orientation point
for future direction, and what replaced it was commerce. Culture died,
and soon after it, the uniqueness of that people was lost, as there are
more people out there of hybrid genetics than those who belong to the
original tribes, each of which specialized over 10,000 generations into
being something quite unique with different strengths and weaknesses
than others. Most of you spend too much time crying over your
televisions ("Roots," "Schindler's List") because it's easier than
facing reality, and therefore feel more guilt than self-preservation,
because you the individual "feel" better when you're giving something
to someone else and thus, they need you, in your own nitwit mind.
However, even historical sources directly opposed to any racial values
agree on the historical origin of the races, and if you've got any
mental health at all, you'll realize much in the same way we should
preserve our environment simply because it is cool, the same is true of
different races. Uniqueness rocks. Hybrids are run-of-the-mill. Yet I'm
going to talk about an argument against racial pride here, which is
this one, and it's a humdinger: "Why would you want to preserve a
culture, when arguably you have none?"
The person wielding that argument has a valid criticism, but of course,
a moronic conclusion; the topic of this essay is the need for an
Indo-European cultural revival, but I have never believed in throwing
up my hands and giving up on something that's worth saving just because
culture is at a low point. Why is it at a low point? A number of
factors, but primarily: it got replaced by something easier, and the
majority of people felt it was more important. All of this occurred
within the Indo-European races, although admixture in small degrees may
have been a starting point, since people who are even a small bit of a
different genetic framework are by the mathematics of genetics sizably
different, usually in not-so-visible ways. The fact is that at some
point, the larger mass of society decided that it wasn't getting enough
of the pie, and it began to persecute and discriminate against its
leaders. This first happened with populist religions from the middle
east, who held that all souls were equal and tried to talk the more
competent people into achieving the "greater" value of humility instead
of simply being good at what they do. It got worse when the masses
decided they wanted the ability to compete economically, too, even
though they lack the leadership sense to do that without (surprise)
destroying race, culture and environment as well as personal psyche.
Finally, it became most absurd when they captured culture as well, as
it allowed the neurotic mass of less capable people to brainwash the
rest into accepting their tripe of a doctrine. The result: our leaders,
who would never bow down to something as mundane as a job and a
television set, have been mostly bred out of the population, or driven
to insanity and suicide by the sheer unreality of it all, and our
society stumbles out of control at full speed toward a brick wall.
This revolution within replaced culture and achievement, valuable
things for anyone focused on reality, with a false reality that took
precedence over actual physical reality, whether in the form of tokens
(economics), addictions (drugs and spirituality) or simply,
pacification (television and self-interest). Our culture was mostly
destroyed. Christians burned books in Europe and slaughtered any
leaders or free thinkers upon whom they could get their hands; liberals
routinely desecrate historical objects or outright ban them in order to
obscure the "offensive" knowledge of the past; corporations and
profit-hungry individuals would dice up their own mother and package
her if it meant retirement money and a new car. We have not been
conquered by an enemy, but we have rotted from within. (The object of
this essay is not to blame Christianity or Judaism, as they are not the
root of this decline, and some forms of Christianity, at least, are
less destructive than the mainstream religion. However, it's worth
noting that criticizing either of these religions gets you blacklisted
and exiled, so here's a hint: their role is less than benevolent,
especially in the passive sense of, like television, brainwashing
people into being so focused on their own "salvation" that they neglect
education, acumen and real-world activity. If heroin came in book
form...)
The only thing that can reverse our rot from within is to recreate our
culture, which isn't hard, because it was founded on common sense as
people of our genetic stock - those who descend from the breakaway
human tribe that survived the arctic in isolation and, through
selective breeding, raised its own capabilities during that time - and
can easily be ascertained again, if anyone looks. The problem during
the last few thousand years of history has been that no one is looking,
since to look at truth means looking away from the fantasy-world of
mob-empowered society. You can blame race, like the right-wing, or
blame money, like the left-wing, but both of those have their root in a
loss of culture in order to empower those who could not create
civilization themselves, but wish to rule it. Democracy is your enemy.
Egalitarianism is your enemy. So is socialism. All of these systems can
only be restrained by strong cultural consensus, and that can only
happen by agreeing in a general direction and promoting the smartest
people of the best character in that direction, regardless of "popular
approval." In fact, popular approval is also your enemy, since most
people in this time are bred into stupidity, have no instincts worth a
damn (couldn't survive a night in the forest alone), and are also
inflated with lies and pleasant illusions from their televisions,
preachers, Rabbis and local advertisers. Their "idea" of good is so
broken that it's imperative they be ignored and shot if they don't take
it. By nature, and by behavior, they're incompetent for rule; such is
the nature of every democracy ever attempted.
There are no easy answers to the problems which we face. It's clear
that society will not, on its own, reverse its direction, so action is
called for, and not passive action. At this point, the time is not
right to rally the troops and try to face the horde of morons head on;
rather, what must be done is a conservative version of the 1960s "tune
in, turn on, drop out" idea. First, those among us who still possess
brains must tune in - to the words of the ancients, to whatever
remnants of culture we can scrounge, but most importantly, to the idea
of culture and learning (and not "government") being the only thing
that can solve our problems in the first place. I guarantee you do not
need your television, nor radio, nor newspapers, nor magazines. These
are elements of illusion and control by your government. If you cannot
spend a month without any television, you are part of the problem and
not the solution.
Next, those among us who possess culture must no longer take a passive
role in society. Gain importance in business, the arts, and social
concerns, but do so only on your own terms, insofar as you have a
choice. You will routinely be faced with questions which impact values,
and you can make the right choices by simply upholding your own values.
This doesn't mean that everything that crosses your desk should have
"Christianity is a lie!" or "Racial separation now!" written on it, but
that in every way you can without compromising yourself, you should
enact your values. And, most importantly: exclusively favor others who
think the same way. If two candidates cross your desk, and one is of
your race and aware of the cultural imperative, pick that one over the
other, unless it is grossly incompetent. If your are given a chance to
make any kind of choice that effects this society, pick the option that
reflects that. Be seen in public doing important things, and never let
anyone see you watching television.
Further, where given a political choice, express it. Your vote is still
secret, so feel no qualms about voting for even extremists candidates
who express only one of the necessary solutions. Do not ever vote major
party. If you voted in the last election, you got played, didn't you?
Some of you were stupid and voted for G.W.; others were even stupiders,
and voted for the other liar, and none of you came out ahead. It's the
money, stupid. It controls both candidates and since there's no
cultural value to oppose it, will control you, especially if you're
dumb enough to buy into the propaganda and vote for one of the two
major talking heads. Who cares if Nader was ineffective? A vote for him
would fragment the mindlock of major parties. Most of you paid
attention to your television, and to your moron friends who watch lots
of television, and thus guessed this one wrong. Score: Society - 1,
You: 0. Don't ***** it up like that next time, you tools.
Finally, stop sitting at home and kvetching - join cultural activities.
You have either (a) a dominant ethnicity or (b) you're
English-American, meaning built of a hybrid of Indo-European tribes. If
(a), go join a cultural activity of that tribe: art, traditional dance
or theatre, literature, and the like. If (b), or if (a) and seeking
additional activities, don't be a passive sit-at-home. In every city,
people gather to help clean up damage to nature and to restore
environments - go to it! Oh, you whine, there's only hippies there.
Shut up shut up shut - hippies are well-intentioned people who have
been misled by their televisions. Go and enjoy them, but uphold your
own values, without preaching; people learn from effective people,
whether they'll admit it or not. Plenty of these people are nice, and
really, they are working toward a solution as best they can, so view
them as potential allies, even if they babble on about racist
right-wing conspiracies and corporate world dominion - they're just
brainwashed like you (LOL @ you) were during the last election. If
you're "English," get involved with classical music, or poetry
readings, or yoga classes, or tree-plantings - anything that doesn't
affirm the product-based, television-oriented, crowd-empowerment
lifestyle. Rise above!
There are no easy answers because there are many shades of the right
answer, and each one will return some degree of success. There is,
however, one large and obvious wrong, because it is based on illusion,
and that's our current society. Revolutions replace illusion with a
different flavor of the same, so those fail to oppose it; in fact, they
give it strength, because the television-watchers kill anyone they see
as rising above the crowd during revolutions. Only building a new
culture can give us the consensus of values we need to appoint leaders
and to say, "They will now achieve our cultural goal," because
otherwise, there is no agreement on what the leaders must do, thus we
try to micromanage it by having every idiot in the land vote every four
years (after their four daily hours of television on average). It's not
a quick fix but it's the only one that will actually work, because
instead of blaming the parasites or symbols of our decline, it creates
a direction to replace the decline because the decay originates in lack
of direction, and thus illusion. It's not the work of an enemy, but a
rot from within. Thus if we rebuild what is within, we will make the
illusion obsolete. And unlike most solutions, that action addresses the
actual root of the problem
