The scale of the British upper class's sacrifice in World War I has been largely forgotten, but was so high as to be a civilizational catastrophe on a scale unseen for centuries: the ~20% death toll it suffered hadn't been seen since the Wars of the Roses
And, much like that prior catastrophe, this one brought immense change. The Wars of the Roses brought the Tudors and, through them, eventually, Protestantism, a massive change. The Great War brought with it a snuffing out of the greatness of spirit and cultivation of excellence that had formerly defined the British landed elite. With their heirs dead in Flanders, their estates and incomes confiscated through confiscatory taxation and onerous regulations, and the world for which they long struggled and fought crumbling as egalitarian democracy rose in its stead, the old world of the landed elite faded away, and with it the residual cutural Christianity the Anglican order and its fusion with the aristocracy had created. Having fought for a nation that showed it despised them, they and their world faded, as did its virtues
@CodexClown@shagbark_hick My Fenian blood is quite eugenic, not that I think that much about it. Tell me, in The Pale of Settlement, how common was inbreeding?
@CodexClown@shagbark_hick Your tribe often have an inferiority complex. I know that cutting off your dick skin hurt, but don’t take it out on me buddy.
@CodexClown@shagbark_hick “The Anti-Race” as Evola said. Acid in which peoples are dissolved. The Merchant. The Wanderer. The Parasite. The Enemy of all Mankind. One to which no honor or loyalty bonds? Which one you Shtetl cretin?
This is really a sign of a deteriorating population more than anything. Most of the great men of history drank alcohol, it’s foundational to civilization.
This isn’t about getting wasted at the club and chasing women, though fun. Where men discussed philosophy, alcohol was there. Where politics were debated, alcohol was there. Congress should be required to slam three shots before entering the chamber, could you imagine? Couldn’t be worse than things are already.
Beer and mead were vital elixirs for warriors and athletes. This is the problem with biohackers and optimizers, they have no vocation, nothing to apply supposed health to. And this culture has become so pervasive it’s found its way to athletes and artists and everything is just lame now.
Every day someone thinks they’re making some groundbreaking proclamation “alcohol has zero benefits” as if fun isn’t real. As if calming the mind and lubricating communication doesn’t exist. You ever been 3 games of beer pong deep? You ever been that in the zone?
No curiosity in trying to harness that state. No desire to create something better. Someone is going to make gruit beer, without hops, rich in B vitamins, the worlds original workout supplement, completely change the game and make a killing.

@martyrmade@JLikesSports These people want to carry on their own extermination campaign and shut down any analysis of the bloodletting of the 20th century. Hopefully by the end of all this we have an honest accounting and a Just Power Structure. The least to hope for
