"It hardly needs to be said that, in the 1914-1918 World War, the former [liberal, democratic-bourgeoisie] ideology was proper to the Allies and above all to the western and Atlantic democracies, while the latter [virile, active, heroic] was essentially represented by the Central Powers. According to a well-known Masonic watchword – which we have often recalled here – that war was fought as a sort of great crusade of worldwide democracy against ‘militarism’ and ‘Prussianism’, which, to those ‘imperialist’ nations, represented ‘obscurantist’ residues within ‘developed’ Europe. ... What were called in the Masonic jargon ‘anachronistic residues’ meant really the survival of values peculiar to the whole of traditional, warlike, virile and Aryan Europe, while the values of the ‘developed world’ did not mean anything but the ethical and spiritual decline of the West. ... That war was intended to consolidate ‘democratic imperialism’ against any dangerous troublemakers; the new war is intended to mark the end of this ‘imperialism’ and of several myths which serve it as ‘alibis’, and to create the preconditions for a new age in which warrior ethics are to serve as the basis for the civilisation of the collective of European peoples. In this sense the present war can be called a restorative war. It restores to their original standing the ideals and the views of life and right which are central to the original traditions of the Aryan peoples – above all the Aryo-Roman and Nordic-Aryan ones – so central that, when they decayed or were abandoned, this led inevitably to the fall of each of those peoples and power passed into the hands of inferior elements, both racially and spiritually. ... The true warrior ideal implies not only force and physical training but also a calm, controlled and conscious formation of the inner being and the personality. Love for distance and order, the ability to subordinate one’s individualistic and passionate element to principles, the ability to place action and work above mere personhood, a feeling of dignity devoid of vanity are features of the true warrior spirit as essential as those which refer to actual combat. ... There is not really ‘imperialist materialism’ and ‘warlike brutality’, on the one hand, and, on the other, ‘love for culture’ and interest in ‘spiritual values’. Rather, there are spiritual values of a given type and of a properly Aryan origin, which oppose a different, intellectualistic, ‘humanistic’ and bourgeois conception of these. It is useless to delude ourselves that a warrior civilisation can have the same consideration for the so-called ‘world of sciences and arts’ as that which they enjoyed in the previous age of liberalism and of the Nineteenth-century bourgeoisie. They may retain their own significance but in a subordinate manner, because they represent not what is essential, but the accessory. The main thing consists instead in a certain inner style, a certain formation of the mind and character, a simplicity, clarity and harshness, a directly experienced meaning of existence, without expressionisms, without sentimentalisms, a pleasure for commanding, obeying, acting, conquering and overcoming oneself. ... It is only by working from the energies which in the test of the fire of combat decide the freedom, dignity and mission of the peoples that true understanding, collaboration and unity of civilisation can be forged."

- Julius Evola in The Meaning of the Warrior Element for the New Europe

"The vicissitudes of this war have exposed contrasts in this respect [on 'inner race'], which we would like to discuss briefly here. We shall limit ourselves essentially to the extreme cases, represented, respectively, by Russia and Japan.

It is now well known that Soviet Russia’s conduct of war does not attach the slightest importance to human life or to humanity as such. ... In general, as recent events have shown, the Russian can always face death readily because of a sort of innate, dark fatalism, and human life has been cheap for a long time in Russia. ... The death of the bolshevised man on the battlefield represents, thus, the logical culmination of the process of depersonalisation, and of the destruction of every qualitative and personal value, which underlay the Bolshevik ideal of ‘civilisation’ all along. ... We see here one specific form, albeit one almost incomprehensible to our European mentality, of readiness for death and self-sacrifice, which affords perhaps even a sinister joy in the destruction both of oneself and of others.

Recent episodes of the Japanese war have made known to us a ‘style’ of dying which, from this point of view, seems to have affinities with that of Bolshevik man in that it appears to testify to the same contempt for the value of the individual and of personhood in general. ... Once again, there is something in this which is hardly comprehensible to the Western mind. However, if we try to understand the most intimate aspects of this extreme form of heroism we find values which present a perfect antithesis to those of the lightless ‘telluric heroism’ of Bolshevik man. The premises here are, in fact, of a rigorously religious or, to put it better, an ascetic and mystical character. We do not mean this in the most obvious and external sense – that is, as referring to the fact that in Japan the religious idea and the Imperial idea are one and the same thing, so that service to the Emperor is regarded as a form of divine service, and self-sacrifice for the Tenno and the state has the same value as the sacrifice of a missionary or martyr – but in an absolutely active and combative sense. ... Behind this, according to Zen, that is, the religion of the samurai, there is something incomprehensible and uncontrollable, infinite in itself and capable of infinite forms, so that it is called symbolically sunya, meaning ‘empty’, as against everything which is materially substantial and bound to specific form. ... One can take hold of one’s own life and cast it away at its most intense moment out of super-abundance in the certainty of an eternal existence and of the indestructibility of what, never having had a beginning, cannot have an end. What may seem extreme to a certain Western mentality becomes natural, clear and obvious here.

Here, a little historical reminiscence is called for. Although this is not widely known, our ancient Roman traditions contained motifs concerning the disinterested, heroic offering of one’s own person in the name of the state for the purpose of victory analogous to those which we have seen in the Japanese mysticism of combat. We are alluding to the so-called devotio. ... According to the ancient Roman ritual of devotio, as weunderstand it, a warrior, and above all a chieftain, can facilitate victory by means of a mysterious unleashing of forces determined by the deliberate sacrifice of his own person, combined with the will not to come out of the fray alive. ... And so, in our heritage, points of reference are indicated which stand in radical opposition to the sub-personal and collectivist heroism we discussed above, and not only to that, but to every tragic and irrational vision which ignores what is stronger than fire and iron, and stronger than life and death."

Why are Bosnia and Serbia excluded from the Slavic group, since 4th image shows then being identical to Croatia, Herzegovina and Slovenia? (with Bosnia even more Slavic than the rest)

Good point. That map is not my creation, but I always find critiquing sources leads to greater truth. The original author may be confused because when one looks at Y-DNA of the region there is a very interesting presence of an I haplogroup lineage from the old hunter-gatherers of Europe. The author probably assumed, with incorrect stereotyping, that this non-Aryan line must therefore be 'Anatolian' when in reality the prescence of I haplogroup actually shows an isolation from the various Aryan invasions and is therefore a preservation of more ancient indigenous European DNA.

Another branch of I represents another, long-separated branch of these hunter-gatherers and survives in Scandinavia. I suspect the author of that map included this in his 'Germanic' label as others sometimes do. This lineage was not ubiquitous in the Paleolithic, but following the last major cooling in the Ice Age I lineages came to dominate, with proto-I1s re-taking Scandinavia as the glaciers melted and proto-I2s dominating ancient Southern Europe.

Keep in mind these are Y-DNA lineages. They don't necessarily represent overall genetic background or cultural/linguistic differences, only unbroken male lines. Fascinating stories unfold with this specific lens, such as the Neolithic farmer genetics from Anatolia almost exclusively coming into Europe via female lines. A primordial instance of the 'Farmer's daughter' it seems.

Pizza is the crowning jewel of Aryo-Roman cuisine. The dough represents the great yields produced via subjugation of the earth by farmers, while the cheese, a dairy product, is the hallmark of the Aryan diet and the epitome of Hyperborean nutrition. DiGiorno is a modernist degeneration of this most sacred dish, representative of the Semitic capitalist culture bringing down the Aryan and Roman legacies.

La única defensa contra personas malas y violentas son personas buenas más hábiles en el uso de la violencia.

The only defense against evil, violent people is good people who are more skilled at violence.

Without action, words are just words. Without violence, laws are just words. Violence isn’t the only answer, but it is the final answer.

Man's proper stature is not one of mediocrity, failure, frustration, or defeat, but one of achievement, strength, and nobility. In short, man can and ought to be a hero.

The soldier and sailor should make simplicity their aim. If you do not make simplicity your aim, you will become effeminate and frivolous and acquire fondness for luxurious and extravagant ways; you will finally grow selfish and sordid and sink to the last degree of baseness, so that neither loyalty nor valor will avail to save you from the contempt of the world.

[from the Japanese Imperial Renoscript to Soldiers and Sailors, issued by Emperor Meiji of Japan in 1882]

Thus practicing constant control of the body, mind and activities, the mystic transcendentalist, his mind regulated, attains peace by cessation of material existence.

Bhagavad Gita, 6.15

"Man is the most divine of all beings, for amongst all living things, Atum associates with him only- speaking to him in dreams at night, fortelling the future for him in the flight of birds, the bowels of beasts and the whispering oak. All other living things inhabit only one part of the cosmos- fishes in water, animals on the earth, birds in the air. Man penetrates all of these elements. With his sense of sight, he even grasps the heavens."
