Hellenism is the Root and Mother of All Europa

There is no "scapegoat mechanism." People don't like having their country flooded with hostile migrants who behave poorly, commit crimes at disproportionate rates and degrade public services (particularly schools and transit). It's that simple.

Very comforting to see that the premier voice of occultism is also eminently reasonable in his political views. Sometimes it can feel very alienating to be on the right and look thru the occult social media space filled with (post-)SJW teenagers, lefties etc.

Q. Do you have any idea why so many women are choosing to defend a woman for murdering her 3 children?

A. There are at least four factors at work in that hideous mess.

First, the second wave of feminism -- despite various attempts to subdivide, we're still in that -- started out as a quest for equality, but during the 1980s abandoned that noble goal to become a crass and greedy pursuit of privilege instead. At this point it's an ideology of white women of the privileged classes, whose central credo is that they deserve whatever they want and must never be held accountable for anything they do. Do you recall how, in 2016, women of that class responded with incandescent hatred and rage to any suggestion that Hillary Clinton had any responsibility for the embarrassing failure of her campaign? This is the same thing. The women who are rallying around the person in question are frantically trying to insist that a woman of the privileged classes (the person we're talking about had a household income of $400k a year, in the top 1/2 of 1% of American families, as well as three doctors and a nanny to help with childcare) must not be blamed for anything ever. There you see their projection of their own sense of guilt and failure.

Second, there's the effect of the glorification of abortion and childlessness among women of this same class. Having killed unborn children or simply refused to have them, a great many women in that demographic feel conflicted about that, and glorifying a baby-murderer is one way to double down on that, in a very human manner.

Third, the class to which the great majority of these women belong -- the managerial class -- is being thrown out of power due to its own decadence and fecklessness. It's an elite replacement cycle of the usual kind, like the one that threw the investment class out of power in the 1930s, and in the usual way the people who are losing power can only see that in apocalyptic terms. I did a blog post about that a while back and I've noted before that I expect mass suicides in the managerial class as this bites down harder. That members of that class would glorify child-murder is par for the course; eventually they'll turn that same rage and despair on themselves.

Finally, there's a demonic component. Our society is embarrassingly ignorant of even the most basic elements of spiritual hygiene; we live in a fetid morass of decaying astral and etheric energies, and demons thrive in such environments. Since our rationalist ideologies make it hard for most people even to begin to take an appropriately wary stance toward intrusive thoughts and feelings, demons are having a field day messing with the corrupt and clueless. As Marlowe points out in his Doctor Faustus, nothing is easier than summoning demons; all you have to do is descend to their level, and there they are. A great many people are doing this, with predictable results.

American poetry must be the only twentieth century cultural sphere where the vast majority of first-rate artists were either conservative (Allen Tate, Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, e. e. cummings, Robinson Jeffers) or fascist (Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein). The only real exception I can think of is Randall Jarrell.

Before they lose elections, leftoids want to abolish whiteness, replace you with mass migrants and castrate your children.
After they lose elections, leftoids say they’re just really worried about your economic security and don’t understand why you won’t vote for them.

This was also the Renaissance humanists' theory of acquiring style. I first encountered in my undergrad class on Latin composition, before knowing anything about Renaissance humanism. Write essays in the style of Cicero, or Tacitus, or Sallust etc. Then, as you get more practiced, you can form your own style with the skills you've acquired. My first undergrad exercise in this method, I remember [after a fw weeks of working on sentences, etc.] was to translate the Preface to Johnson's Dictionary into the style of Cicero. I did a bad copy after a week of intensive and frustrating work. My teacher, L. Richardson, jr. [written just so] then pulled out his own rendering, which almost made me want to cry it was so damned good.

Jung argued in his 1936 essay 'Wotan' for Swiss journal Neue Schweizer Rundschau, that the German nation was seized by an ancient, dormant archetype of the god Wotan (Odin).

However, in his autobiography, he reveals that he did not merely view Wotan as a psychological archetype but as a real god active as a psychopomp. He experienced a theophany when his mother died:

"The night before (my Mother's) death I had a frightening dream. I was in a dense gloomy forest...Suddenly I heard a piercing whistle that seemed to resound through the whole universe. My knees shook. Then there were crashings in the under-brush, and a gigantic wolfhound with a fearful, gaping maw burst forth. At the sight of it, the blood froze in my veins. It tore past me, and I suddenly knew: the Wild Huntsman had commanded it to carry away a human soul. I awoke in deadly terror, and the next morning I received the news of my Mother's passing.

....It was Wotan, the god of my Alemannic forefathers, who had gathered my mother to her ancestors - negatively to the "wild horde," but positively to the "salig lut," the blessed folk. It was the Christian missionaries who made Wotan into a devil. In himself he is an important god - A Mercury of Hermes, as the Romans correctly realised, a nature spirit who returned to life again in the Merlin of the Grail legend and became, as the spiritus Mercurialis, the sought after arcanum of the alchemists."

Popular discourse so sanitized today. Can you imagine the liberal jeremiads if a popular rock star said anything like this today? Morality police and puritans everywhere.

September 1976 Playboy Magazine:

David Bowie explains why he believes in fascism and says Adolf Hitler was, "one of the first rock stars."

I own two copies of Playboy, the Bowie issue, and the March 1990 issue featuring Donald Trump on the cover.

[HandsomeH. @Yamnayanage]

"I believe strongly in fascism. The only way we can speed up the sort of liberalism hanging foul in the air is to speed up the progress of a right-wing, totally dictatorial tyranny and get it over as fast as possible. Rock stars are fascists. Hitler was one of the 1st rock stars"

Imagine this: opinions changed because of the massive scale and ensuing chaos. It's not the 90s anymore. There are entire areas of western cities where you struggle to find a white person anymore.

We're being gaslit. For my entire adult life, nearly all conservatives said their opposition to immigration was limited to illegal, not legal, immigration. Now that I say we should have legal ways for them to come. Their response gives away the lie.

[Megha @megha_lilly]

This is batantly untrue for anyone who has taken care to scour old book shops. Every unknown book I’ve found written before the year 1920 has turned out to be a hidden treasure when I’ve read it. The survivor bias idea that dismisses the superiority of writing in the past is completely just COPE. And a lie.

[Bessarion Philosophiae Magister Mirabilis @bess_magister]

@maksimologija Yeah sure I don't care about the LARPers, they should just be Catholic. Most Orthodox think they risk their salvation with that tho. Doesn't THE (allegedly) one true Church only reflecting the liturgical use of one city in Christendom make it seem rather provincial?

[Michael Millerman @millerman]

I love Plato. I want you all to read more Plato, with the help of commentaries. Even the "minor" dialogues you might not have heard of. Plato is as deep as the human heart. This is not "against" the poets or Nietzsche or your favorite philosopher. It is just "for" Plato

[PhilosophiCat @Philosophi_Cat]

One of the biggest problems with Christianity and its propensity for proselytisation (along with its modern child, liberalism) is that it fails to recognise that different peoples are bound by different laws.

The Indo-Aryan peoples are ontologically bound to solar laws, and we naturally gravitate towards solar belief systems and symbols.

But take a population like the Australian Aboriginals, a very ancient people. They are bound by different laws. They are a telluric people and they follow the deep laws of the land. They are not suited for our solar laws and it was an injustice to try to make them follow it.

Christianity is a strange syncretism. Fundamentally lunar, but it has adopted significant solar aspects due to its mixing with European paganism.

This resulted in Christians developing the strange belief that every population must be brought to heel under this mixed solar-lunar law, regardless of their inherent suitability for it.

In practice, it became a justification for exploitation and subjugation, and the telluric peoples of the world were ripped from the spirituality that binds their souls. You can force them to profess a belief in Jesus Christ, but you can never make them into Indo-Aryans. Our laws are not for them and they do not thrive under them.
