“[…]as long as the past is principally used as a model for imitation, it is always in danger of being a little altered and touched up and brought nearer to fiction.”
— Nietzsche
"Naturally, this ideal [hierarchical principle] implies not only the affirmation of the concept and right of nobility but also of the monarchy. Whether they are republican states, nominally still monarchical states, or states erected by dictators (who from the traditional point of view are nothing but tribunes of the people) — in this regard, there is only a void in Europe. Where the monarchy still exists, it has become survival, a mute symbol, a function that has lost its true meaning and is cut off from reality. It is better than nothing — but from those who are not only royal in name but also in spirit, it would require the courage not to tolerate compromises and uncertain accommodations any longer; it would require them to disdain royal dignities when nothing, or almost nothing, corresponds to them anymore, or to return decisively as the center and head of the state to sweep away all the 'legal' usurpations of recent times and become once again, in an absolute and transcendent sense, leaders of the people."

"The entire evolution of the spirit is a question of the body... In the long run, it is not a question of man at all: he is to be overcome."

Fratelli d'Italia: neo-fascist heritage, populism and conservatism
by Marco Tarchi
Fratelli d’Italia’s anticipated electoral success has sparked renewed interest in the party from the academic world, especially with regard to the identity of this political force.
Could this be the latest expression of a political family rooted in the fascist experiment that began a century earlier, or could it be a populist radical right that has been on the rise in Europe since the 1990s, or a novel, hybrid party combining elements of the old neo-fascist far right, right-wing populism and contemporary conservatism?
Marco Tarchi takes stock of the current debate, analyzing the origins and history of this party, as well as the factors of continuity and contrast with its political predecessors, the Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI) and the Alleanza Nazionale (AN). The author also highlights the factors behind Fratelli d’Italia’s rise to power, and the ideological, organizational and European challenges it now faces.
"Experience shows that a very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed; since all cities which have a reputation for good government have a limit of population. We may argue on grounds of reason, and the same result will follow. For law is order, and good law is good order; but a very great multitude cannot be orderly: to introduce order into the unlimited is the work of a divine power- of such a power as holds together the universe. Beauty is realized in number and magnitude, and the state which combines magnitude with good order must necessarily be the most beautiful."

"We must create in silence, through strict discipline, through inflexible self-mastery, through seriousness and simplicity. We must create an elite with a persistent and diligent effort of individuals, an elite in which wisdom is revived: that virtus which does not speak, which arises in Hermetic and Pythagorean silence, which blossoms from the mastery of the senses and the soul, and which is evidenced not by arguments and books, but by acts of power."
— Evola
Boys want abs to attract girls. Men want thick necks, traps and big forearms to protect their women.
Train your neck and grip every day. Strong necks and back with gorilla grips will help you out across the board in every physical endeavor.
No man has ever wished for softer grips, and festive neck, or a weaker backs.
“So spoke the King: ‘Be with me, as I found my City, Jupiter, Father Mars, and Mother Vesta: and all you Gods whom piety summons, take note. Let my work be done beneath your auspices. May it last long, and rule a conquered world, all subject, from the lands of the rising to the setting sun!’ Jupiter added His omen to Romulus’ prayer, with thunder on the left, and His lightning flashing leftward in the sky…”
— Ovid, Fasti, Book IV
"For whom Jupiter loves he chastises: and he scourges every son whom he receives.
Persevere under discipline. Jupiter deals with you as with his sons. For what son is there whom the father does not correct?"
— Seneca
"I hate this era. I loathe it. Everything is false, everything is distorted. There is no more respect, no more given word. Only money matters. We hear about crimes all day long. I know that I will leave this world without regrets.”
— Alain Delon
“The heroic spirits are those who in the midst of tragic horror say to themselves, 'Yes!': they are hard enough to feel suffering as pleasure.”

“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.”
