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.
“The charioteer at Delphi represents the stillness of perception. A peak moment where an exceptional person has become a work of art and focus of all the eyes, human and divine.
He embodies the Greek principle of Kalogathia, the beautiful and the good, which saw virtue and physical beauty as inseparably intertwined.
The Greeks defined existence as a struggle or contest, agon, that tested and built character. To strive to be the best was a moral duty. Life was a perpetual game or race with little hope of rest.”
— Paglia
“To bear trials with a calm mind robs misfortune of its strength and burden.”
— Seneca
Excuses make today easy, but tomorrow hard.
Discipline makes today hard, but tomorrow easy.
When we take a good look at the types behind Communism, this observation makes complete sense.
""Communism appeals to the failures, the lost, the unredeemable. Those who suffer from a sense of deep inferiority and frustration are solaced by the thought that they are the “victims” of some sort of system or exploitation." --Olivia Marie O'Grady, The Beasts of the Apocalypse [1959]"
One of the key elements of seeing imperatives rather than propositions as fundamental (i.e. of rejecting civic nationalism) is that the "world" becomes value-laden. Everything is seen in light of what it can do, and its warrant becomes a matter of its function.
Even abstractions such as unity and difference must be ranked on this scale, and it's not enough to say "why not both?" because to say that is already to affirm the metaphysical primacy of plurality. I don't see how we can get around this. And since rank valuation is unavoidable, we must weigh up the pros/cons of putting unity or difference on the throne. It seems to me that a folkish or in-group oriented worldview cannot survive taking unity as foundational. This is born out by historical experience—when unity is emphasized, we get something analogous to civic nationalism. We need both unity and difference. But one has to be the senior partner.

Comment from an interesting discussion prompted by our article on the metaphysics of difference:
https://imperiumpress.substack.com/p/foundations-of-the-right-iv-difference
The point of life is not the outcome but the action. You have a right to your duty, not to the fruits of your efforts.
The victory is never about the outcome, the glory was always about putting one foot after the other.
Rome is in every step that you never quit.
"Now it's death or imprisonment-maybe something worse. We've heard so much about the Red Army, and how they treat their prisoners. A quick death is much to be preferred. I'd never survive Russian imprisonment. I try to pray quietly, but because of my churning stomach can't say anything coherent.
Quite automatically, I unbutton my holster and feel the cool handle of my 08 pistol in my hand...
Then someone behind me coughs.
'Here you are-two barrels from the other machine gun!'
I turn round and recognise our ammunition carrier, who amidst a rain of bullets from the enemy had leapt up from a foxhole and thrown us two barrels in their protective covers, landing about a metre behind us. He can see Franz and I trying to reach the package with our hands, then he jumps up again and runs back. He manages just two strides before he falls silently to the ground and remains motionless.
The bullets keep ripping into his dead body, but Josef Spittka, our ammunition carrier, feels them no more. He has given his young life for his comrades.
I am choking with emotion, but I do see a chance to keep all of us alive for a while longer. My hands trembling, l open the sleeves and pull out a new barrel, which I lock into the gun. Franz Kramer has already brought out a new belt of the good brass ammunition. I pull the belt tight and close the breech…
An indescribable feeling of relief comes over me as the belt flows through as if oiled. The attackers at the front start falling like flies to the ground. Franz Kramer has already opened all the ammunition cases and is feeding in new belts with both hands to make sure they will pull through without any stoppages.
How often I have stood behind a machine gun and felt the strength embodied in this mechanical purveyor of death. But never have I used it with such relief as at this moment. I see our enemy falling and dying I see them bleeding from their wounds, hear their whimpering cries, believe me, not a spark of pity or compassion for them.
A sort of madness has come over me. It's the bloody revenge for the crazy terror and despair which I experienced just now."
This is going to happen more and more as time goes on. Mainstream academia can no longer ignore the radical right, so it is engaging very cautiously.
/channel/countercurrents/6939
A word of advice to any content creators who get contacted by mainstream academics writing books about the radical right—ask them what is the editorial stance taken toward the subject matter and interviewees/contributors. For any subject other than the right, the answer would be "neutral and objective". But for you to have an email record of them saying that would be career suicide. They will be evasive, in which case the answer is implied and it's best to steer clear. The books they write are sold at high prices, no one is going to read them except other academics who intend to smear you. They will not spread your views, they will simply give Wikipedia a "reliable" citation for why you're evil and scary.
Our blogs and books are available to the public. If academia wants to engage with us, they know where to find us. We are not going to sway the discourse at Harvard and Cambridge. The centre of discourse must be forced outside of those places.
The Abrahamic world is: I resisted all temptations of the evil natural world, only through my ultimate submission to Christ/Allah/Yahweh, I reached the best afterlife.
The Pagan One is: Even against insurmountable odds, my mortal heroism shined through, divine characters either helped or harmed me depending in my quest but the indomitable human spirit lead me here.
“It is precisely from the 'fundamental fact' of human will—that it prefers to will the nothing rather than not to will—that Nietzsche derives the basic proof for his statement that the will is in its essence will to power.”
— Heidegger
"Neither death, nor fatality, nor anxiety can produce the unbearable despair that results from losing one's identity."
— H. P. Lovecraft
"The French Revolution seems admirable to those who know it poorly, terrible to those who know it better, grotesque to those who know it well."

“Those who march with us will certainly face abuse, misunderstanding, bitter animosity, and possibly the ferocity of struggle and of danger. In return, we can only offer to them the deep belief that they are fighting that a great land may live.”
— Oswald Mosley

"Through our ancestral heritage, we are all part of an historic continuum stretching back to the very beginning of time. We must never reject the past significance our family, our ancestors, and our people. Those who are no longer living in physical form have not ceased to be valuable members of our present community. Though they have gone on to the realm of the ancestors, they are still an integral part of our family. They still care for us and guide us in myriad unseen ways. Find comfort, strength and inspiration from your ancestral heritage. It is only in honoring the sanctity of our ancient spiritual heritage that we will secure a future that has true meaning and beauty." - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya

“What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure—as a mere automaton of duty?”
— Nietzsche
“Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.”
— Seneca
"Our minds are always looking directly down at doom and being swept empty, so we have to somehow fill them up with the wicked ambitions and dreams of the moment."

"In the face of his flawless, rich spirit and unrestrained talent, any subject could easily be transformed into the same vivid harmony..."

Don't ever speak with Journalists, "Academics", or anyone else that is of the otherside. They are the Enemy and they will never engage with us in good faith. They have no vitality and are losing popularity rapidly. Let them wither on the vine.
We are crushing them in the cultural sphere and they know it. We are an unstoppable tide of spirit that will take the future.
📖🔍 Dans cet ouvrage, Emmanuel Todd bouscule les a priori du camp occidental et annonce les grands virages politiques à venir. Les États-Unis et l’Occident jouent plus gros qu’ils ne le pensent dans le conflit ukrainien, compte tenu notamment de leur état de décomposition et de leur dépendance économique au reste du monde qui pourraient annoncer une défaite cuisante, au détriment des Européens.

“Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.”
— Heraclitus
Interestingly enough fight club is the best Nietzschean film to ever be produced. It's Nietzschean in it's core philosophy, it's screenplay, it's characters, it's story...

"The fundamental aspect of the Mithraic system was the dualistic struggle between the forces of good and evil. Mithra, who gave to his devotees hope of blessed immortality, represented the fearless antagonist of the powers of darkness. The story of Mithra's capture and sacrifice of a sacred bull, from whose body sprang all the beneficent things of the earth, was a central cultic myth."

"I will probably achieve freedom but a freedom close to death. None of the things I have dreamed of will come to me in this world."
– Yukio Mishima
"What belongs to greatness - Who will attain anything great if he does not possess the strength and the will to inflict great suffering? Being able to suffer is the least thing: weak women and even slaves often attain mastery in that. But not to perish of inner distress and uncertainty when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of his suffering - that is great, that belongs to greatness."
― Nietzsche, The Happy Science
