MEGALOTHYMIA Revenge. The sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell. It elevates men to be eloquent, insightful, and sharper than their natural state would allow.
I just realised the only thing that fundamentally determines whether a person goes ‘left-wing’ or ‘right-wing’ is whether or not they believe the messages of the system, particularly in the schools.
If they go for the messaging, they go ‘left’. If they don’t believe it, they go ‘right’.
And ‘left-wing’ doesn’t actually represent a political persuasion as much as it means obedience or submission, particularly to system-dogma.
Whereas ‘right-wing’ is the camp of the contrarian, the casual autist or just non self-abnegating White guys.
It’s really not “the political spectrum” that’s the primary motivator of activists as much as it’s a battle of wills: One side says “die, white racist dogs” and the other says “no”.

“Long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.”
― Oswald Spengler

Today I spoke with Pete Quinones about Chechnya, the First and Second Chechen War, "Chechen Blues" by Alexander Prokhonov amid other considerations. Tune in to the transmission, Legionaries!
"According to modern scholars, the figures found in myths and legends are merely abstract sublimations of historical figures, which have eventually replaced the latter and become myths and fantastic tales. On the contrary, the opposite is true: there are realities of a superior, archetypal order, which are shadowed in various ways by symbols and myths […] Here myth constitutes the primary element and should be regarded as the starting point, while the historical figure or datum is only one of the various contingent and conditioned expressions of the superior order of things."

"Generally speaking, it is essential to make your ordinary bearing the bearing you use in martial arts, and make the bearing you use in martial arts your ordinary bearing. This should be given careful consideration."

German Socialism
by Constantin von Hoffmeister
Excerpt:
This approach, shaped by the Prussian ethos, was a manifestation of a broader narrative in the philosophy of history, as articulated by thinkers like Oswald Spengler, who viewed cultures and societies as organisms that evolve uniquely according to their own inherent logic and lifecycles. Thus, the German synthesis of capitalist structures and socialist principles underscores a civilizational response to the economic and social challenges posed by modernity, a response that is neither purely reactionary nor wholly progressive but rooted in the historical and...

The New Soviet Man as a "Gypsy" — Nomadism, War, and Marginality in Stalin's Time (2014)
by Mark Edele
This essay explores the history of nomadic Gypsies (tsygane) in the Soviet Union prior to, during, and after the Second World War. It asks what this history of itinerancy, displacement, and marginality can tell us about Soviet society more generally. It argues that nomadic Tsygane on Soviet territory under Stalin were not so much exotic outliers but rather an extreme example of the displacement and homelessness of these decades.
"Insects sting, not from malice, but because they, too, want to live.
It is the same with our critics - they desire our blood, not our pain."

From Chariot to Chassis, Horse to Horsepower
I believe car racing is a beautiful evolution of chariot racing, it’s distinctly European, Aristocratic, and Scientific.
Cars are often assessed based on the quality of the technology used when building the car. Just as people wait in anticipation to learn who will win the driver’s championship, the teams eagerly anticipate the constructor’s championship as it is another way to win accolades based on the quality of your technology. For these cars to achieve such high performance on the track, it’s paramount that each part is working from the engine to the wheel axle. Aston Martin F1 even focused on making sure they had the perfect colour for their vehicle for the 2021 season with team principal Otmar Szafnauer determined to have the most eye-catching coloured car on the track.
Whilst chariots are far more simplistic than a car in their design, the same attention and care were put into crafting the technology behind them. Evidence, from Mycenaean Greek Tablets, found in Knossos, highlights that over 3,500 years ago chariot makers were just as concerned with the development of their technology. The Chariot Tablets that have been found go into detail about the methods of assembly, the accompanying equipment such as bridles and blinkers and the quality of the materials inlaid into the chariots for decoration. We also see an array of chariots emerging - box chariots, quadrant chariots and dual chariots which all have their own features. And so, the overwhelming impression is that both modern and ancient constructors care deeply design and engineering of their vehicles.
From the data strategists and engineers sat on the pit wall and in the garage crunching numbers to the drivers training in simulators in the lead up to a race. No one can deny the amount of effort that goes into developing the best strategy prior to every Grand Prix. We only need to look at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and Red Bull’s team strategy which ultimately paid off for the team in the long run, as Sergio Perez (Red Bull) held off Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) for long enough for Max Verstappen (Red Bull), his teammate, to catch up.
Again, Ancient Chariot racing saw similar team tactics and strategies being put into place. One of the earliest examples appears in Book 23 of Homer’s Iliad, when we see Nestor providing counsel to his son Antilochus where they are discussing tactics for the chariot race which will take place at Patroclus’ funeral games. Just as Formula 1 is seen to be a combination of car and driver quality, chariot racing was no different – whilst Nestor acknowledges Antilochus to have the ‘slowest horses’ he recognises his son to have the most Μῆτις (mêtis, skill/craft). Being aware of Antilochus’ skill he advises him to take a closer line to the dry stump which creates the turning point for the course, and to make sure he is ‘leaning to the left' whilst he is ‘giving full reign to the horse on the right’.
Seeing this technical style of racing emerge so early shows another similarity between the modern and ancient sport, with skilled drivers having an awareness of their balance and the techniques they can use to get the best race possible.
“Even the thought of a possibility can shake us and transform us; it is not merely sensations or particular expectations that can do that! Note how effective the possibility of eternal damnation was!”
Nietzsche

"War is one of the constant manifestations of social life, the most frequent forms of human activity, in which agents of destruction and annihilation intertwine and merge with agents of creativity and development, with progress, culture and civilization."

This map was made in 1964 yet it is more accurate than many made in the last ten years. It shows the battle axe people (meaning corded ware and yamnaya) as the origin of the Hittites, Achaeans (Mycenaeans ), the Fatyanovo culture and Aryans, and the single grave culture which we now know was the origin of the bell beaker culture

“Europe is dying because it forgot the law. Instead of the rule of the chosen, democracy rules. Instead of freedom, liberalism rules. Instead of duty, pleasure triumphs. Instead of the warrior, the merchant speaks. Instead of iron, gold governs. Europe betrayed blood and violated race. It unleashed the underworld.”
