Please read the previous part in the series: The Koryos and The Warrior Religion The Warrior Religion resonates strongly with the right because at this point, the right seems to have no power, no voice. The bar in America only goes left. The Republican Party just seems to be another arm of the Democrat Party. By this same token, it’s important to realize that if you want a Warrior Religion to take hold, the Warrior Religion itself should resonate with the people we’re trying to reach. A twatter account @VeritasVital made this exact point in regards to coming to power in the United States. No right wing will come to power he says, if it’s pagan, the laptop class, obsessed with Hitler, urban, or supportive of prosties. Now — maybe he attacking the frogs just a bit, but there is some truth to what he says.
Top-notch stuff here. I think we need a new wave of historical fiction highlighting the settlers, pioneers, trail-blazers, and adventurers who made America.
I’m talking about people like the hard-fighting, hard-drinking Scots-Irish, and for that matter the much smaller number of Highlanders and Island Scots who settled in eastern North Carolina (the latter included some of my own ancestors). And let’s not forget the Mountain Men who penetrated the West to trap furs, and had all kinds of interactions with the Indians.
For that matter, I’d like to see more focus on men like William Walker, the filibuster who invaded Nicaragua and briefly set himself up as president before being ousted by an invasion of other Central American nations:
He did try to bring back African slavery in Nicaragua, which gives lefties even more reason to hate him even as they ignore the entire history of slavery by everybody else.
Stepping outside of the American context, I’ve also started reading up on the Afrikaners, and it’s such a fascinating funhouse mirror of American history.
