The nationalist response to intellectual weakness cannot only be negative, it must propose its own ideas and forms. In any case, pure action would still give rise to new intellectual efforts and even revitalise current intellectual groupings.

"The intellectual speaks and writes "I." He feels no connectedness. He causes disintegration, the disintegration of the mass of individual beings into the particularized individual being, who henceforth stands not under and not over the people, but at their side. The means by which this is accomplished is the misunderstood concept of "education." Education in the German sense (Bi/dung) means giving form, both inner and outer. Form, however, can only be given where there is content, and content comes only from an idea. An idea always manifests a connectedness. A thought stands alone and is produced in a brain. An idea is something mutual. It grows out of the tensions between one individual and another. Where there is tension, there is also connectedness. For the intellectual, education is at most a highly developed acrobatics of thought and always only the property of the "I." The arrogance attached to the concept of education could only have arisen in the intellectual's conception, and this conception could only flourish in the empty space in which the intellectual lives. The emphatic "we" of the new generation is a clear renunciation of intellectualism. The "we" of the young, nationalistic generation comes about consciously. We-that is the still small group of men and, in the broad sense, masculine youth-have gone beyond mere renunciation to establish values in place of the old ones or in the empty space."
~ Ernst von Salomon

As van Salomon says, it is a misconceived education that the nationalist struggles against, an intellectualism without responsibility to the whole. The nationalist wants an intellectualism of service which stands above or below the mass, not at its side. It cannot be the state or one of its separate powers, instead it acts as the responsible arm of the state – and where the state is fallen it acts in the sense of the fatherland, as an inner inheritance. The thinking man must bring together connectedness and tension, then one may speak of an intellectualist "Gestalt", an education as the property of dominion and form. The blood which refuses education altogether is merely another type of disintegration and disconnection. Blood must have content, organs, "Bildung", otherwise it falls to that oldest of martial rules, as told by Menenius in his speech to the plebs.

New political compass just dropped.

I hate having to enter the discourse, but there are certain lines you do not cross.

On Myron’s Cow

"That you are most splendid and could be the jewel of Admetos’ herd;
That you seem to come from the drove of the sungod himself:—
All that fills me with wonder and moves me to praise of the artist.
But that you can also show motherly feelings—that touches my soul."

"It was certainly not Myron's goal to achieve a realism that vies with nature."
Goethe's essay on Myron's Cow. How does one interpret a lost work? The poetic epigrammes so often failed at this. That nature is drawn to it is not enough, the artist had loftier expectations – just as his depictions of athletes were dedications to Zeus the realist nature serves other subjects than base movements, expressions; the cow's lowing which is hardly distinguishable except to the ear of the herder or the calf.
Then too the poet's voice is distinguished from the hand of the sculptor.

Carl Schmitt noted the various “deficiencies and mistakes” which had led to the crisis of parliamentary democracy a century ago: "the dominance of parties, their unprofessional politics of personalities, "the government of amateurs," continuing governmental crises, the purposelessness and banality of parliamentary debate, the declining standard of parliamentary customs, the destructive methods of parliamentary obstruction, the misuse of parliamentary immunities and privileges by a radical opposition which is contemptuous of parliamentarism itself, the undignified daily order of business, the poor attendance in the House."

"Human beings are biologically and culturally diverse, and this diversity is worth preserving. Ethnonationalism is the best way of preserving such diversity and promoting peace among nations."
Greg Johnson on Keith Woods' Nationalism

A good example of the liberal reasoning used to defend nationalism today.

"Snow is false purity."

The frozen tears of Die Winterreise, and how Schubert stood above romanticism, may be understood through Goethe's reflection.

Most European nations are not really plagued by older "girlboss" women with too much power - this is where BAPists and pseudo-Nietzscheans go wrong. Rather it is clear that the issue lies with a combination of older European men who resemble out-of-touch Soviet bureaucrats from the late 80s, and young immigrant women from Africa, or more rarely the Near East, who act out of disillusionment with the vanity projects (multiculturalism, etc.) which the former sells them through various NGOs and Foreign Aid schemes ("come to Britain where you won't be raped by the HIV shaman"). A disillusionment which often becomes outright hostile opportunism on, at this point, an industrial scale.

If I have to read one more completely serious "Trump is literally Caesar" comment anywhere, I'm going to have to write a book whose sole purpose is to burn Spengler's legacy to the ground so thoroughly that one is reminded of a Carthage or a Troy. The world has proved itself unworthy. And that is the least of the heresies so omnipresent in the current climate of wanton intellectual decay. What they are now doing to Schmitt is the kind of profanity that makes even The Old Man Downstairs blush.

Our predictions have turned out entirely correct, Trump is hated and revered precisely because he perfects the anti-political.

"Spengler's universalism is an imperialist annexation of the past, excavation as triumph and conquest."
~ Carl Schmitt

Anti-America
I've only ever seen very talented or uniquely intelligent/creative Americans not exhibit this dark aura, this gloominess of outlook and dimness of soul. They are excited by violence, brutal by disposition, inelegant, ignoble; insects: hard yet flexible and soft on the inside.

Their heroes are all Cossacks, and those familiar with the history of that culture will understand; Americans are an enforcer race.
