Great post. Happened to read on same day as listened to latest J. Burden show with Morgoth on. Relevant here (in a round-about way). They talked about the disenchantment of the modern world--the loss of earnest belief in things like religion and beauty for its own sake, etc.--and re-enchanting positive things being almost impossible.

But around 38:25, they touch on how there may be a darker path to re-enchantment: focus on the monsters.

The average dissident may be too cynical to believe in a sky father wants and commands a man to be his best and achieve great things. But it is easy for us to feel, believe, and know that our enemies are simply the husks of shitty people who invited demons to inhabit them, and these demons in turn want to sacrifice goodness--Whiteness en mass and us as individuals--to their satanic earth mother.

And once things are so darkly re-enchanted, once monsters are seen for what they, once our enemies are seen as modernity-wrapped demons, I think it becomes easier to earnestly believe in positively enchanted things, like a God or Gods that are good and demand that you fight and defeat monsters, and so birth a hero’s religion.

Much the same thing is happening here in Australia however we are supposed to feel great compassion for the aboriginal. My ancestors came to this land as convicts and after “doing hard time” they were granted land which they then had to clear and farm. They struggled. Life was very hard for the early settlers of Australia.

Now Australia Day approaches and every year the bleeding hearts come out in force and call for the date to be changed because it marks the day when White man arrived and the aboriginal culture was changed forever. But to my people this is the day we made the long and dangerous journey to a new land. When we arrived it was nothing but hardship for decades. I want to celebrate the strength of my people and the overcoming of adversity but the bleeding hearts only want to praise the poor hapless aboriginals. What is the point in elevating weakness? Let’s also celebrate the aboriginals and their amazing talents, move forward together. But no, we must feel sorry for them and guilty for ever coming to this land. I don’t see how this is useful and it underpins the whole problem we have with the indigenous people. For too long they have been coddled and patronised. The Black man needs to stand up and us Whites should encourage them to take that initiative, not praise their shortcomings and shed a tear for a time long past.
