"America, you have it better
Than our old continent.
You have no tumbledown castles
And no basalt deposits.
Your present is not disturbed deep down by
Useless remembrance and vain strife.

Use the present with good fortune!
And if your children write poetry,
May a kindly fate guard them from writing
Stories of knights, rascals, and specters."

~ Goethe

The saddest aspect of the terminally online American Right is that its highest aspirations consist of turning back the clock of a continent across the ocean. The reactionary idea of going back to how things were operates on a superficial level and does not rediscover the spiritual ideals that created the great empires. Not only would such reactionism be unwise for Euopeans, but it is impossible and nonsensical for Americans to do so. Americans cannot go back to a past that has not been ours for even longer than it has not been Europe's.

Our once European ancestors came to the New World to create new empires; we kill their hardfought history by abandoning our past, their future. We are missing the most auspicious opportunity we were handed to forge new races and build new empires. It is not abandoning our 'brothers' to work on ourselves, and it is not abandoning our history to build something of our own. In fact on both counts it is the contrary. The American question is thus:

Will you keep pretending to be better Europeans, or will you pick up the torch we were handed by our ancestors; will we sit crying at another's struggle lost, or will we build something new of ourselves, something truly great and eternal, something generative and virile that shines as an example of what it truly means to be Aryan?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
28 August 1749 - 22 March 1832

”Long periods of peace and quiet favor certain optical illusions. Among them is the assumption that the invulnerability of the home is founded upon the constitution and safeguarded by it. In reality, it rests upon the father of the family who, accompanied by his sons, appears with the ax on the threshold of his dwelling.”

— Ernst Jünger.

"Modern civilization stands on one side and on the other the entirety of all the civilizations that have preceded it (for the West, we can put the dividing line at the end of the Middle Ages). At this point the rupture is complete. Apart from the multitudinous variety of its forms, premodern civilization, which we may as well call 'traditional' means something quite different. For there are two worlds, one of which has separated itself by cutting off nearly every contact with the past. For the great majority of moderns, that means any possibility of understanding the traditional world has been completely lost.

This premise is indispensable for the examination of our subject. The hermetico-alchemical tradition forms part of the cycle of premodern 'traditional' civilization and in order to understand its spirit we need to translate it inwardly from one world to the other. Who undertakes this study without having acquired the ability to rise above the modern mind-set or who has not awakened to a new sensitivity that can place itself in contact with the general spiritual stream that gave life to the tradition in the first place, will succeed only in filling his head with words, symbols, and fantastic allegories. Moreover, it is not just a question of intellectual understanding. We have to bear in mind that ancient man not only had a different way of thinking and feeling, but also a different way of perceiving and knowing. The heart of the matter that will concern us is to reevoke by means of an actual transformation of the consciousness, this older basis of understanding and action."

- Julius Evola, The Hermetic Tradition

”Where metaphysics is concerned, all that can alter with time and place is, on the one hand, the manner of expression, that is to say the more or less external forms which metaphysics can assume and which may be varied indefinitely, and on the other hand, the degree of knowledge or ignorance of it to be found among men; but metaphysics in itself always remains fundamentally and unalterably the same, for its object is one it's essence, or to be more exact "without duality," as the Hindus put it, and that object , again by the very fact that it lies "beyond nature," is also beyond all change: the Arabs express this by saying that "the doctrine of Oneness is one.”

Rene Guenon.

To those who do not agree with the falsifying interpretation of the materialistic and rationalistic nineteenth century, according to which the ancient myths were nothing but poetry and arbitrary fancies, all this assumes the value of a specific testimony, the most hidden meaning of which needs to be investigated.

All these ancient tales— in which recur the theme of the sacredness of the mountain—should be regarded by those people as hints of a spiritual reality, the connection of which with the symbolism of the mountain cannot be accidental.

Ancient men did not casually choose the mountain as a means to express meanings that are clearly transcendent. Rather, they were induced to adopt the mountain as a symbol because of the analogy, or better, because of the foreboding that the experience of the mountain caused in the deepest recesses of their being, provided this experience is adequately cultivated.

~ Julius Evola, Meditation at the Peaks

What is Justice?

If anyone would reduce it to the proper form of a definition, he might say that "justice is a habit whereby a man renders to each one his due by a constant and perpetual will"
