"Man is good inasmuch as he is man, the angel as angel, and the tree as tree."

Highly recommend Cortes.

"Though the Gods bestowed no gift,
                    None the less,
    None the less, I served the Gods!"

Rather than socialism taking hold in the West, FG Jünger points to the comedian as one of the reactions to the socializing forces of technology. The comedian is an enactor of roles, a dispenser of misery and chance in equal measure, he is characterless in the face of everything.

"Is not the comedian the man of chances, the chance-dispenser, the chance-magician par excellence? And are not the spectators indebted to the comedian as he plays fortune's role for them? The spectators, moreover, identify themselves with the make-believe and the game of chances."

Someone please explain what will happen to this site. I am out of touch.

"One of the paradoxes of our time is the unemployed man riding his motorcycle to the welfare office."

Philosophers of the will marched triumphantly into the void of the Enlightenment.

To "make a hole in the moon" may be the best explanation for the economic situation and mass immigration. It is an old commonplace meaning to skip town without paying one's creditors. For Bloy the bourgeois experiments with methods to ensure that he will not have to skip town. We are hurled into the heavens.

"There is no technology that could rival spiritual strength. We were convinced of this countless times, this fact was proven by every unknown soldier, who had passed through all the horrors of military technology and placed his indestructible, sturdy heart on the scales."
Jünger

One cannot blame a state for acting in its own self-interest, insofar as one cannot blame a lion for devouring its prey, but the lion which fails to hunt is abominable. One can always blame a man for his spiritual failings since it is a man's duty to hunt his demons as the lion hunts gazelles. The specifics of certain eras and their particular wars are arbitrary before the eternity of spirit, so the unknown soldier needs not feel shame when he looks back to the heroes of old. His heroism is silent and austere in the face of the wars he must fight, the scale of which has broken the level of the Titanic and reached down into the chaotic elemental. His state cannot save him here, and technology certainly cannot save him either. His spirit can only rise to the occasion, hearing the call of his God whose silence is deafening.

Perhaps a good test of race and nation would be how well one is able to tell stories of ancestors at least three generations back.

Your race is your very family. Do you know who your great-grandparents were, or anybody before them? Have you inherited any of their traditions? You will not find race in vague genetic categories, but in your own house. Your nation is not a faceless collective and its popular will, but your own extended family.

For Nietzsche, the last stand against mendacity: struggle with isolation, disease, the accident of community, the vengeance against life, overwhelming responsibility, isolation as a necessity, for the party of life, the death-war against vice, physiology becoming the mistress of all questions, and all that follows from the first principle. For Schmitt, Catholic intensification: against neutralisers, aesthetic Cockaignites, against abortionists, cremators, and pacifists, for the katechon, fear, the reconciliation of inheritance and heredity, epimethean language, and apocalyptic loyalty.

Jünger says of the boomerang that it must have been thrown a million times before its form was realised, before it returned to that hand that threw it. Does our technology share this quality? And if such a situation occurs is it a sign of the end of the industrial era?

We need to abandon the notion that making jokes about the news gives anyone the authority to speak about politics.

Epimetheus is forgotten, this is when he is strongest.

Well there’s lots of ways to do it - but the approach that you can most effectively approach, is getting one of the incoming congressmen on board with it, and have him draft it into legislation for debate on the floor.

There’s a few roadblocks to this - MAGA is a uniparty, so people exceeding the bounds put themselves in political danger - so you really gotta start a grassroots push for it on social media. If it catches fire, MAGA will integrate some part of it.

So in this way - influencing conservative influencers - that’s the best way to give congressmen support.

They've been listening since 2016. But it's someone more important than your congressman.

4channers really need to look at what happened to that place after 2016.
