I’ve spoken on the need for warriors religions on our side before. Men fiercely devoted to the gods, with fire and fervor to not let the injustices against their people stand. Recent events have only reaffirmed this belief. You will not win a civil war with the type of man we have now. You will need tough and ruthless men. Clannish and intolerant to the extreme. The most intolerant always wins, the left demonstrates this daily.
Frank Herbert, the author of Dune, had striking idea of what made the world turn. It was very right wing in thought. The importance of religion, the refusal to rely on artificial intelligence, and the power of primitive peoples. This you see in the Sardaukar and Fremen, if you’ve read the book. If you haven’t, I will give brief overview because the insight of Herbert here is important. The Sardaukar were the Spartans of Herbert’s world. They underwent brutal training from the age of six onwards.
The Sardaukar were the elite guard of the emperor, renown for their fanatical zeal and fighting prowess. They were uncontested in the known galaxy until the Fremen came along. The Fremen represented desert power just waiting to be awakened by a man of power. They were a warrior society forced to live in the harshest of conditions. Like the Sardaukar they were also highly religious. Both of these peoples expressed faiths the modern leftist would find barbaric and backwards.
The left has shown the path to the warrior religion, believe it or not.
This might be controversial, but the left has shown us the way to a fanatical warrior religion. The left recognized decades ago if they were to take power, they would have to forge a new people. The way they went about this is called demoralization. Leftists were made to reject American values in favor of their new gay ones. When the time was right, they put together their own fighting force: antifa. You might laugh, but antifa is pretty good at what they do. The right’s ability to protest has been completely neutralized and they’ve even covered up shootings by collecting the evidence.
The left’s values are completely incompatible with what we understand as America and they know this. They are actively trying to destroy America for this reason. They have shown the path. I will grant you they have powerful funding and institutional support which allowed them to happen, but the path is still there. The same can be done on our side. Oswald Spengler believed a people were tied to the fate of their culture. There’s no running from it, no changing the outcome.
This may be true, perhaps the leftist is still tied to the fate of the west. Perhaps we who resist will meet our honorable end just the same. But Spengler also said a man can look to Rome for all the answers to his future. The Roman Republic was a distinct and different culture from the Holy Roman Empire. Romans didn’t die off, they became something else. This I believe — we can do.
America is a big place. There is room for secret societies, mannerbunds, and warrior religions to take hold. For you to make yourself barbaric in the image of your warrior ancestors. When the time comes and the west falls to the barbarians, you yourself will be barbarian. It will be within your power to expand the influence of your people. To show a kind of ferocity that will usher in the next age of men.
What should a new warrior religion look like?
The left has used demoralization to degenerate the American into the leftist. It’s removed from them the values, tradition, and culture of their ancestors, made them worship the foreigners they imported in to erase them. Right wing warrior religions too, will have to forge a new people. I enjoy the old America and the frontier that made us, but recent times have convinced me that our culture is not just gone, but long gone. We’re a people separated from our traditions and history. We should honor what we know of our ancestors, but we can’t pretend we can return to what they had. It’s been taken from us.
There will have to be fanatical zeal in this new warrior religion. Something that will prevail against all odds. Where our enemy rejects the gods, we must be fanatically devoted to them. The traditions formed must be in accordance with the laws of nature. This in itself will make us barbaric to the enemy, but be a vitalizing force for our people. This would not get mainstream support and must be started small, amongst friends and brothers.
This is not something that can be done online. There must be cohesion formed, land conquered for ritual and training. The men must become capable warriors and in some way you want to live by land that is both defendable and will aid you when the time comes.
I don’t know if there is some new Christian sect that could do this. But if I’m proven wrong, I’d gladly fight for their cause. I have deep distrust of Christianity and see in it the origins of the left. The poet Robinson Jeffers commented on what made the western man was a conflicted mind between his Christian conversion and pagan blood memories. Maybe your sect gets new tablets like Moses? Or you rediscover your pagan heritage by worshipping the wolf god Apollo or the red god Thor. Maybe you follow the spear of Mars. In any case, it must be a god that recognizes natural law: might makes right.
If Christian sects can be made in mass, I don’t see why pagans and Nietzscheans cannot do this. It’s imperative to create a powerful religious fervor, one that would get men to die for your gods. Die for their people and way of life. To be absolutely barbaric to their enemies, to not tolerate injustices made against them. To make this warrior religion prosper, the best way would be to go about acquiring your own land to be used by your people. Make it place that represents the Great Work of your people and your gods.
Leftists may laugh at this. Christians might call you and your friends LARPers, but on a long enough timeline with powerful devotion, it becomes real. What we see happening now is a series of battles and we’re losing, but to look back to Rome as Spengler recommends you’ll see that the Romans lost most of their battles.
But they won the wars.
Keep fighting. Sew the seeds for new powerful people and never surrender.
This is an incredibly important topic, and I hope you and others will continue to write on it.
In my opinion, the primary task is to reinvent a Nobility or Patrician class- one that is in touch with the artistic and aristocratic traditions of their people/nation as much as they are with the physical and martial disciplines.
We should not arm a people who are not prepared to understand and defend a proper cultural archetype.
As Arthur Powell says below, Americans have no lack of interest in firearms, combat sports, outdoor skills, etc. What we do lack is the characteristic gracefulness, on many levels, that comes with the balance of cultivating a solid intellect as well as physical prowess.
In other words, I will never follow any man into battle who cannot recite poetry, who is unfamiliar with Western Canon and our traditional composers, who lacks a respect for the natural world and our resources and ecosystem, who has not rejected the conventional food industry, and so on.
Someday I’d like to elaborate more on this.
Not everyone is able to be a warrior - the caste is largely broken in our lineage and fragments arise. Warrior castes and sects might arise but as the men today the best way to do that is to lay the groundwork around martial culture.
America is RICH in martial culture - wrestling is still a huge sport in many places. BJJ is growing in popularity, MMA continues to grow as well. We also have strong shooting cultures - competitive shooting suffers from too many fatties with good shooting skills and not enough others but it exists. This competitive realm of violence.
There are more questions than I have answers...
How do you prevent these martially inclined men from becoming co-opted by the Regime as cops and soldiers?
How do you get them through an increasingly pacified world where violence in society is cracked down upon ruthlessly from a political angle (leftists can commit all the violence, but rightists can't)?
