“That the dangerousness of his situation must grow to tremendous proportions, that his power of invention and dissembling must struggle up beneath the protracted oppression and compulsion, that his will to live must be enhanced to an unconditional will to power and to overpower, and that danger, severity, violence, danger in the street as well as in the heart, inequality of rights, concealment, stoicism, the art of experiment, devilry of all kinds, in short the opposite of all the herd thinks desirable, are necessary for the elevation of the type man. A morality with such reverse intentions, which desires to train men for the heights, not for comfort and mediocrity, a morality with the intention of training a ruling caste - the future masters of the earth.

Scientific output by selected sub regions
The Anglosphere and CJK lead the world in scientific output by a huge margin. The EU combined falls far behind, everyone else is a rounding error.

"The GUD plays a key role in the French far right. As a student organization, it has served as and continues to serve as an entry point for thousands of young people into far-right political socialization. However, it also serves as a shadow cabinet for the more respectable Rassemblement National (RN), with which the GUD maintains deep financial and organizational ties.
Beyond the national sphere, the GUD has a long history of transnational cooperation, particularly with the Italian far right, from the MSI to CasaPound. A key actor in this transalpine relation is Gabriele Adinolfi, who has been the contact person for three of the four GUD generations; as such, he offered them access to his network, including CasaPound, which he helped found, and FdI. This intergenerational cooperation with the European far right also extends to the Ukrainian National Corps—formed by veterans of the neo-Nazi Azov Batallion—and the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn in Greece"

The pernicious, far left, blood libel "lions led by donkeys" narrative of WW1 is mere class-war propaganda with no basis in reality. On remembrance day we honour those who served, regardless of their station in life.

The First World War was deadly for all classes of British society, but was especially deadly for the British aristocracy that filled much of the British officer corps.
The casualty rate for enlisted British soldiers killed in combat during the First World War was 11.5%. The casualty rate for British officers killed in combat during the First World War was 20%, almost double the enlisted rate. Even the casualty rate for British General officers killed in action during the First World War was 18%, significantly higher than the enlisted rate.
Eton College, the school that has educated British aristocratic men for generations, lost 1,157 former pupils during the First World War, about one fifth of those who served.
The high casualty rate among the officer class is a result of the ethos of honour, bravery, and nobility imbued into the British aristocracy, whose ancestors were the knights, military commanders, and battlefield heroes of the Middle Ages. British officers lead from the front, inspiring the enlisted ranks by their brave and noble example.
On Remembrance Day, we remember all those who fought for King and Country.

“There appears to be a considerable force of the enemy to my front and to my right front. They approach to within about seven hundred yards at night. Our shells have not been near them on this flank”
