Closer to the Primitive
Please read the previous part in the series: Might Makes Right Naturalism
“Every soul has religion, which is only another word for its existence. All living forms in which it expresses itself — all arts, doctrines, customs, all metaphysical and mathematical form worlds, all ornament, every column and verse and idea — are ultimately religious, and must be so.” -Oswald Spengler
A man like Oswald Spengler sees no way out of the civilization you’re born into. He said “optimism is cowardice.”You should have courage. Live in the best way a Faustian Man can and choose the spot where you will make your last stand. He may be proven right yet. I do not like this mentality, however. It sounds defeatist in nature and not the right mind of any man who would make himself a warrior.
Spengler was a brilliant man. The right conclusions to get from him are not the blaqpill he leaves you with, rather you have to steer clear of all the roadblocks he lays out for you. For instance, there’s no returning to any prior way of living whether Christianity or Hellenism. Maybe you can take inspiration from them and I’ll lay out a way in which you can do this a little later, but you can’t return. Each culture is distinct from its predecessor. You’re only path is finding a way to go from zero to one. To create something the world has never seen before.
How do you get there? Again, Spengler leaves behind clues. You can’t think your way there. The moment you do, you’re not creating anything. It’ll just be the same Faustian no matter what you try to call it. Just the act of thinking about it makes you as a Civilization Man. The only way is to move closer to the primitive, back into nature.
This may be something we as Civilization Men may never be able to do, but something you must remember, is that this struggle has been going on for a long time. In all likelihood, it will not be resolved in our lifetime. Our ability to return to the primitive may not be possible in manner required. You can however, lay down the foundations for the men who come after us. Lenin used the brag that all he needed was one generation’s youth to turn the country commie. Who’s to say you can’t take that mentality and go the other way? These rogue ideologies that took hold and spread like wildfires — did so from humble origins.
When I speak of the primitive, I speak of the conditions of which mankind took hold in nature. The moment we rose above being just simple beasts. Man didn’t spread across the earth alone. He was party to a war band or tribe. This tribe was genetically related, the same ethnicity, for the most part. Our elite, in their thirst for greed, have brought the world closer together through technics in order to increase their bottom line. They have pulled out all the stops to increase their influence, their power, and their wealth.
The greatest example of this would be the World Wars. The last generation of real men, at least in Europe, died during The Great War. The Second World War ended their sons. The United States, which took minimal losses compared to their allies in these wars, spent the rest of the century in police actions to bleed out the rest of their men. This ridiculous bloodshed served a purpose: to weaken the population and make them easier to control. I won’t go so far as to say the wars were contrived, but the elite did capitalize on the conflicts.
What will it take to get closer to the primitive?
Pierre van den Berghe in his work, The Ethnic Phenomenon, made the discovery that class distinction was not the driver of a people. The Marxist revolution could never happen in the way the Marxists predicted because it’s ethnic identification that’s the true driver of a people. It’s what holds a people together above all else. The first step is to reclaim this identity. America tried to sell you on a type of civic nationalism, but as long as least one ethnic group rejects the civic identity, the country will always descend into ethnic strife. Sticking to principle is just holding onto a sinking ship. You have to engage in NATURAL racism and ethnic nepotism.
For Americans this is complicated as our ethnic identity has been reduced to being WHITE. Still, you must lean into it. One suggestion I have is to reclaim AMERICAN from this rogue United States. Most of the world thinks an American is White anyways. Our American and White ethnicity was made out of ethnogenesis with other European peoples as we realized Manifest Destiny over the frontier. You have to be smart in this. The government seeks to crush any kind of American ethnicity before it can get off the ground.
You can’t be obvious in your ethnic nepotism. You shouldn’t broadcast it. You must be as recruiters of major corporations are. They cannot explicitly say they won’t hire you because you’re White, so they make up some other reason. This must be done in the shadows where it belongs. Remember, the American is the only race who is affected by “systemic racism.”
In this respect, it’s worth learning from our favorite persecuted people: the Jews. Everyone likes to blame them for all our problems and maybe they are to blame, but they’ve shown the way to SURVIVE regardless of who’s trying to persecute them. You must respect their will to power. It’s important to respect your enemies. They are after all, worthy enemies to have. Don’t get so blinded by hate that you stop learning.
This is where it begins. Reforging the broken bonds of our people. Many aren’t ready to hear the words I’ve just put down, but they can be made to. Our people have to remember their greatness. The enemy has tried to taint that history with lies and half truths. They cannot however, hide that we are capable of great things and that as long as we breathe, the potential for greatness will be there. Waiting to be awakened.
The Romans are often invoked in the synthesis of a nation and I invoke them again here.
The Romans were perhaps, the greatest empire to ever walk the earth. Where the Greeks were — as said by Oswald Spengler — of a feminine nature, the Romans were manly and noble. When the two cultures fused during the late Republic, the old heads thought the Greeks too girly and worried about their influence on the youth. Ultimately, they couldn’t fight off the influence, the result most likely of their military successes bringing much wealth and decadence back to Rome. The Romans were never the biggest and most intimidating of opponents. There was much talk in Caesar’s Commentaries of his big the Celtic barbarians were in comparison to the small Roman, but what they lacked in sized, they made up for in military prowess.
Romans would brag that their dead warriors would be found face down, having stood their ground and refused to retreat or surrender to the enemy. They were also more than just warriors, being half construction worker, they made walls and fortresses overnight leaving their enemies dumbfounded. LABOR in the Herculean style was important to them. They dwelt on how to best unleash their animus, their energy, onto the world. It’s hard to find info on how the Romans became this way as much of our texts deal with Romans post-Greek influence and of course, post-Christian takeover. If you go to Georges Dumezil, you’ll find the Romans had an Indo-European triad, an archaic triad based around Jupiter, Mars, and Quirinus.
The archaic triad wasn’t so much a triad of power, but of societal organization. The priestly class worshipped the sky father, Jupiter. The warrior and noble classes the Roman War God. The people held Quirinus as their God. Quirinus was sort of the deification of the Roman founder, Romulus. He was protector of the community, standing both for military prowess and economic prosperity in later times. It’s postulated that he was originally a Sabine War God. Sometime after Romulus disappeared however, it was revealed that the Roman founder was actually this God.
I have a question, of course, that may be impossible to answer. Why — in the Roman founding myth — is it that Romulus and Remus were fathered by Mars, and not Jupiter? You can look at it through the perspective of the ancient family. Bloodlines were extremely important to the Romans. Most families had everliving hearth fires that represented their domestic Gods. Romans looked upon busts of their ancestors and strove to outdo the accomplishments of their most famous ancestor.
Each family a cult of glory. Each descendant charged with doing something greater. At the age of 33, Caesar wept when he realized he hadn’t accomplished anything close to Alexander the Great yet. Sometimes I wonder what Americans could accomplish if they thought like this. What if the men were devoted to a God like Mars and a Goddess like Vesta. Manly and warlike men concerned with health, family, and the Sacred Fire. Imagine these men taking something like Manifest Destiny and expanding it across the whole earth.
