Like Zeus who rescued his Olympian siblings to overthrow the old decadent order of his Father, Cronus, the new aristocrats must rise and defeat the modern oppressive order and create a renaissance of heroic power and light. Passage from my upcoming book, 'Aristocratic Spirit':
@HyperVoreian@GoldsteinRec I'd argue they became relevant even later, from the 1800's onwards- during the 1700's, Britain was still in fierce colonial competition with Spain and France- they came out on top because of Rothschild money bankrolling the empire after Napoleon and the industrial revolution.
Blood that doesn't boil, desire that doesn't ravish, pain that does not cause us to proclaim our birthright to the heavens in the storm, is a waste of life.
We are mortal. We have an unfathomable sea of possibilities, vulnerability and courage of Divine origin within us.

BS notion you have to rub shoulders w prestigious fat cats to ascend the ladder. Gold is found in dirt. Oil is at the bottom of the ocean. Diamonds in the mines. None of this by accident. You descend for lifes treasures. And so too, you descend to the throne
When death finally catches up to you, let it find you clad in bronze, with blood on your spear and a war cry on your breath.
Do not go gently into that night- Let the beauty of your deeds and experiences be whispered to you by Providence, made eternal by your soul's merit.
@AtlasNarratives 'I don't agree how you frame the narrative to make it sound as if anyone from the West could came and occupy us'- I didn't say that. I meant that E. Romans weren't a moral heroic people defending the West out of the goodness of their hearts, but bc they held territories there.
@AtlasNarratives Why am I in rage? you made a post, I pointed out latins did face off against the Turks, you said they are equal to Turks, I said they weren't, you agreed, but hold the position you were occupied whilst East Rome also conquered and defended the East for their own interests as well
@AtlasNarratives Some truth to it? so it wasn't true, or wasn't as bad? So E. Roman aggression targetting a specific group (latins lived in Constantinople, didn't control it) in a massacre doesn't warrant any aggression? what of the debts to the Doge of Venice? there's no East Roman culpability?
@AtlasNarratives The initial scenario was you putting Italy as having to defend the East for a change, which they actually did. That was the point, not more or less than that.
@AtlasNarratives I didn't know Venetians committed abuse and violence against the native Greek populations after establishing their rule. I'll have to read into that
@AtlasNarratives One was latin and Christian, which were in communion for a thousand years with Eastern Rome and held friendly relations since ancient Greece/Rome, with some infighting. Turks are asiatic speaking steppe nomads of muslim faith. To equate the two is wrong IMO.
@AtlasNarratives Didn't the Eastern Romans shamelessly kill and murder like dogs in the streets religious, men women and children during the massacre of the latins, many of which were Venetians?
@AtlasNarratives So Italian latins should've been the ones to defend the East (even though the East Romans defended the East because it had territories it conquered there), but when they were defending it, they were also conquering invaders so it has no merit? okay, I guess.
