Hello, re-hello-aded

Smacking the compass so it hopefully points north again

Small preparation

Before we get into things proper let me reitarate something. This is not my coming out as “anti-right”, I do not plan to make a “Der Spiegel” appearance tomorrow with a two page interview “My journey into the racist dark web and how I got out of it”. I am a man committed chiefly, and exclusively, to the pursuit of Christ and, derivative from that, the pursuit of the true, the good and the beautiful. The online right, in its current, egregoric, form, has in large parts strayed from that and so I must distance from it for now but I do not see this as a necessity at all. My online millieu is still basically the same it was two years ago, I just go where I need to go and I am happy when others come around. Small farewells do not mean lifelong estragement. Also, many of the points may raise eyebrows and are prone to being falsely interpreted so I have decided to dedicate a stream to this Substack on my YouTube Channel to clear up those points.

Small revisitation

In the last post I gave a personal history of how I roughly landed in the online right and how I experienced it. In the end I declare the online right broken and rather abruptly end. Part of that is that I reserved my bullet point critique for now. So here is (in very abbreviated form) everything I find despicable about the online right at the moment and why I see it as unable to have any effect in the coming future.

• Headline punditry

  • The online right grew out of various reactions against the political pull of the western world. This means that in its DNA is engrained a legacy of people getting angry at headlines. This is sheer mental poison, it has inculturated the sharing of outlandish news article headlines to whip people up into a frenzy about nothingburgers. 99% of headlines have nothing to do with reality and instead get rightwingers to self herd by constantly being stressed out through the spread of hostile memes, often specifically designed to stir them up as “hate-sharing” is something many journos know to take advantage of.

• Always interpreting hurtful acts as intentional

  • Perhaps best illustrated through the common “elites want to ban gas stove debacle”, where the common interpretation seems to be that this is not being done out of ideological reasons but rather pure malice against working class gas stove users. This is just as hurtful on a personal level too btw. Take it from someone who is now best friends with his highschool bully: always take outright spite and malice as the last explanation, even at the risk of being hurt for it in the short term: It’s always worth it in the long run. However the right wing doesn’t do that at the moment and so, in conjunction…

• Neuroticism and Paranoia which cripple into unreliability

  • I don’t even think I need to explain this one. The right wing vastly distorts the nature of the conflict they’re in. This is based in personal vanity. Look at the plight of our Christian forefathers under the roman persecution and tell me you have it hard. The reality is that most people on the other side are well meaning but badly educated, if you can but stomach the hurt of their sharp bones you can even hug them.

• Rather digging out failed thinkers (Guenon, Evola, Spengler,…) than applying your niche insights to the established texts

  • This one I never understood. The precise advantage that we have is that we have made unique insights that our forebearers hadn’t. We know multiculturalism destroys trust for example, so we can take this brush onto the old orthodoxy and adjust a largely working intellectual system piece by piece rather than having to rely on failed 20th century spergs.

• At large inability to produce a benign pro white stance

  • Honestly I chalk this one up to a lack of association with women (yes seriously). All versions of trying to be pro white tend to end up as either hubris which denies that whites are vulnerable too, and/or racial resentment that is unable to shake the hand of a black co-worker. This point however is the least problem in many ways and the one I see going away organically as most of the interesting talking heads seem on a good track to produce something useful here. That’s why I call it an “at large inability” because its only a problem at large. However the story is not yet written and this can easily spurn down the racial resentment/white-fetishism road.

• Anima possession and the inability to account for feminity correctly

  • This is one of the biggest ones. In fact the plight for conservatism and the plight for the rediscovery of the female element are the same battle as it is actually the female element which is the conservative one, this is what I was hinting at in the last substack. The current right is full of anima possessed young men (anima possession is something I will extensively go into in the future, for now you can just browse it) who therefore are only ever able to conceive of feminity in a fetishised and inauthentic way (something between simps and Andrew Tate who are secretly two sides of the same coin), this is death for hopefully obvious reasons and in many ways one of the central issues to be tackled.

• Lack of vision

  • This bullet point isn’t new to anyone but it has to be routinely included. Like the lack of a good white identity it is one of the least worrying ones due to how commonly understood it is. Even so, the way the current online right organises itself is deeply diffuse and, more importantly, the lack of vision means that the online right continually defines itself not through itself but as a reaction to leftist orthodoxy. A good example is being “Pro-James-Bond”. James Bond is boomer smut, it encourages vice, vice, vice, even more vice, endless vanity and subterfuge. Everyone is better off when Bond vanishes from common consciousness, but since it triggers the libs its now “Based” and people rally behind it.

    Deriving from this lack of vision we also get…

• One-upmanship and “based take” rhetorical competitions

  • It’s just gay. Like an actual, proto-homosexual behaviour in my opinion. All efforts to be more “Based” than one another in anything but an irl dare setting between friends, or as a short term performance in liminality, are putting the individual in danger of losing themselves in internet rhetoric wars.

• Intellectual Pride

  • This is the final and the most serious one. If this one didn’t exist I doubt I would have even made this substack in the first place. The online right is marked by a definitive need to be intellectually superior to others. This also leads into a desire for “superior”/”esoteric”/”occult” knowledge to keep itself going which likely explains the predeliction towards failed authors mentioned previously. This has also led more and more to a culture that insists on being right about things that has more and more given up the love for truth. It’s also a culture that unilaterally despises to talk with anyone it doesn’t deem an ally in anything but a condescending manner. And thats why I’m writing this article.

And it is pride which troubles me. In many ways I think it was endemic in the right wing and has poisoned it from the start. There is this undercurrent in the dissident right that says “I must be in power” that will spell doom if left to fester. Me, you, my friends, your friends, no particular person, needs to necessarily be in power if the problems we face are fixed.

And so this is my small recap perhaps:

“Silence wench, I don’t want to be horny (for power) anymore, I just want to be happy”

Small contemplation

So let me propose what an ideal millieu (not a movement, important difference) able to tackle the perils of the contemporary world may look like. I am fully aware that this “checklist” is something that can come accross as perhaps overly ambitious or idealistic but for now its just supposed to be a vaguely possible ideal to be explored.

1. Driven by the transcendental values

   1. The first thing such a millieu should be defined by is the relentless, civilising, quest for the true, the good and the beautiful

2. Exaltation of Humility

   1. The love for these three transcendental values (truth, goodness, beauty) is understood by the millieu to only be properly expressed with adequate humility, especially intellectual humility.

3. Saintly ideals

   1. The Saints, being the people who lived the most virtues public lives known to us, must be the core of “great personalities” this millieu looks up to and take precedent over the “great personalities” of history (read: Napoleon, Tesla, Nietzsche, Gautama Buddha, Marcus Aurelius, etc…) especially since many of who we now call “great men” were actually the incubators of the modern poisons (ex. Frederik II, Voltaire, Bismarck, Ghandi,…).

4. Coherence

   1. The ability to communicate, coordinate and choose what battles to pick and what to lay aside.

5. A strong, unified, Christian, backbone.

   1. This definitely means common prayer

   2. This is the hardest of the bunch. The reason being that Protestantism is a failed project. The short form to explain this goes like this: Protestantism isn’t actually supposed to be “make your own Christianity”, but its core defining feature (rejection of the authority of Rome) led to all of its various subgroups each individually being unable to coordinate effective authority that would be capable to teach its members what Christianity actually is. Leading into the defacto situation that the vast majority of Protestants just define Christianity as however they interpret the (often little more than five) books of the Bible they read throughout their lives. This process then assembles a “faith consensus” from the bottom up, with protestants effectively amalgamating the individual interpretations of their peers into larger interpretive clusters. These clusters then define themselves against other clusters or groups, leading, occasionally, to a new fracture in Protestantism, but, more often, into some other “anti-outgroup” activity, such as a witch burning, or: a vicious attack on Catholicism which then backfires. For example that is how we get the myth that Christmas is actually pagan, Protestant attacks on Catholic Christmas culture which, having settled into American and British consciousness, then turned out to be equally good at attacking Protestant Christmas culture.
      On the other hand, there are many good and earnest Protestants who try their best to follow Christ. The obvious compromise would be that any Protestant who accepts Church teaching as a valid and authoritative way to access Christ is a friend, but this is still an incredibly shaky situation and will likely still lead to a lot of potentially lethal Bumps down the road. Reverence for the early church fathers has to be a must.

   3. The rivalry between the western and eastern churches actually takes up a bit of a special role here. The cooperation between these two parts might even be seen as a definite goal because parts of the origin of what became the moloch of modernity have their roots in attempts to mend the east/west schism that took place around the fall of Constantinople.

   4. On the other hand the admittance of nonbelievers isn`t theoretically as big a deal (as long as they are okay with partaking in a definitively Chrisitan millieu) for the simple reason that they have no claim over any sort of authority to define Christianity, which gives them a sort of “humility of ignorance” regarding the faith. (Though of course it is often nonbelievers or those of other faiths who feel most entitled to declaring what Christianity actually is which automatically disqualifies those types)

6. Identification of the enlightenment and rennaissance as key events that “went wrong” in european history

   1. This one is not a new point and one on which excellent work has already been done, however this still needs to be extended in scope and depth, especially with regards to tracking down the elements that flew into the enlightenment (Spoiler: Most of it comes from three places: Emperor Maximilian I, The burbonic plague and the Ottoman empire)

7. Affirmation of broad (black, white, east asian,…) and substrate identities (Bavarian, French,…) as unequal in expression but with an agnostic stance towards “supremacy”

   1. The defense of the broad category of “White” identity, is more important for America, whilst the defense of local white identities (like German or even Catalan) is more important to Europeans due to cultural and historical circumstances. These however have to back each other up. Being white cannot be allowed to absorb being Swedish, and there even has to be room to be made for the Swedish to accept whomever they want into being Swedish, whilst on the other hand the idea of “I am not white, I am Swedish” should be seen as unserious as it is, coming from a white Swede. Also any concept of superiority should be left out of the equation at this time. Onto the statement “I built the greatest civilisation known to man” by the European supremacist the African supremacist could just answer “to hand it to which children?”, the simple fact of the matter is that we all are currently alive and will continue to exist, we have our own ways of doing things and we just are often unsure which way is truely best. We can learn from each other and we can also choose to do our own thing, we are simply dissimmilar.

8. Trust between members and IRL interaction

   1. The idea of the “internet movement” has largely been disproven, the future is irl, online is a backdrop, database, stage and way to keep in touch over great distances.

9. Primary orientation towards salvation, through secondary means

   1. I will yot down ideas for these means (activities engaged in by the millieu) in a bit, but it always needs to be understood that salvation, of self and others, is the primary goal and all activities need to be in continual service of that.

10. Formation of a common, gatekept, communal identity and name

    1. “Oh but we aren’t NrX”,”We aren’t the alt-right”, etc.. are not a good show. However the reaction was correct. These were all labels applied to millieus by the outside. A successful millieu needs to first know who it is, what it is about and who is in it before then taking up a name it gives itself.

11. Centred around the family as nucleus

    1. I lied about the Christianity thing. This is actually the worst part of the equation. Families and political millieus are usually tete-a-tete concepts, so this one is a douzy up front. But in the future it will hopefully become clear why I put it here.

12. Strong hierarchies

    1. Like the previous point an obvious ideal, like the previous point an absolute headache of implementation. Especially in a millieu. Like the previous point something to be elaborated on in the future. Footnotes for now:

       1. Codes of conduct need to be developed in tandem of the hierarchies development

       2. Hierarchy should provide people with an understanding of what is within their place to discuss and what isn’t

13. Charitability as a guiding principle

    1. Extended to both friends and enemies. Especially when it comes to interpretation. Uncharitable interpretation of anothers words, be the other friend or foe, should be heavily frowned upon by the millieu.

14. Prejudice against “Americanism”, prejudice against “Anti-Americanism”

    1. Both of these would spell death to a millieu. It has to simoultaneously be able to grasp that a) the American civilisation is largely succesfull and currently the most dominant and important civilisation on earth and that b) the United States is not a shining city on a hill but a young Empire likely still in its period of rise that would do well to learn from other cultures if those others are willing to generously teach and not belittle it.

15. Rejection of materialism but also antimaterialism

    1. This secretly contains the entire debate on feminity within it but its also something to only be included here for completeness’ sake and to be elaborated on at another time.

16. Celebration of meekness and self regulation

    1. Technically a core part of Christianity but needs to be especially highlited in todays (right wing) culture

17. Anti-journalism

    1. The entire institution of journalism is fundamentally broken and hostile to the interest of wider society. This means there are no “good” publications, any published, journalistic, article is a hostile entity that takes up energy, provides misinformation and leads you astray, unless proven otherwise.

Small elaboration

Now here again I want to spell that I am not trying to create a movement or launch a political manifesto, I simply desire to outline a millieu which I define as a collection of people striving towards common goals in mostly common sequence, sometimes collaborating and sometimes doing things their own way. This is because of my original intent. I myself pursue the true, the good and the beautiful and would like others to join in that quest as well as give to the world as much of what I find as possible. This can sometimes take on the form of a movement but that is simply not something I see as necessary towards my pursuits right now.

I am of course aware of streams and currents within the online right which exhibit many of the attributes I listed and partake in the given flaws to more or less degrees. Chiefly there would be the groypers which are probably closest to what I describe. But again that is not really what I am gunning for here.

In my last substack I referred to those I associate with as those “searching for truth”, so let me give the rough definition of the left and the right as I see it. The right is (at least these days) comprised of all those who have some form of a sense that the frame of contemporary society is a lie/broken/etc… this is how libertarians, wignats, monarchists, bible belters, Freemasons, skeptics, joe roganites, conspiratites and mormons all somehow accumulate on the right. Whilst left wingers are effectively comprised of those who do not challenge the frame but rather use it to challenge society, this is why women are overrepresented on the left, together with academics, managers, college/school kids, nonwhites, antifa, greens, sexual deviants and silicon valley.

As such, with the conviction that the frame is indeed broken, the millieus goal of salvation necessarily also implies the mending of the frame, which makes the millieu necessarily right wing and an element at odds with contemporary culture. And that task of mending and of growing out a culture that is once again true, good and beautiful, is what I want to spend my time doing and hope to work on with others. To that end there are a few tasks I see as absolutely necessary, all of which are things I intend to spend time on:

Small orientation

1. A rediscovery of history, unified, throughout the ages.

   1. Especially a complete overhaul of medieval history

   2. Also a rediscovery of pre-history/biblical history

   3. Christ as the logos has to be the focal point and lynchpin of this history

2. A formulation of a central critique against the enlightenment and its consequences

   1. Again many good first steps have been made like here or here but this definitely needs to be developed on

3. Formulation of an ethic of power

   1. A current problem of our concept of ethics seems to be that they get very skimpy around the subject of individuals holding, begetting, or desiring power, especially the holding part. This is bad because it betrays those who find themselves with power by leaving them without guidance, as well as usually giving the powerless a very wrong image of the powerful.

4. A rediscovery of the role of the female in the world

   1. Both 50’s housewifeism and modern girlbossing are toxic and leave the better half of the population in a bad spot. However it is not just girls who play into this but the role of all feminine elements within existence which we need to readjust.

5. A formulation of an extended social theory

   1. This is what I will dedicate the substack too in the future, hoping to get a plethora of interesting articles out for you all which I can finally summise into a book. Much is planned here on my side and I hope you lot are looking forward to it.

6. Connection of religion, psychology and information science

   1. At the dawn of actually good AI, these things become possible. With computer science being a natural fusion between the 7 liberal arts (grammar, logic, dialectic, arithmetic, harmonics, geometry and harmonic geometry (what astrology was actually about)) a strong millieu has the very real ability to create a new liberal arts curriculum here that can once again serve the liberal arts original purpose of elevating man.

7. Production of a christian culture that can engage intelligently with the modern world

   1. The millieu has to be Christian in essence and as such its fruits also have to be christian. Efforts to evangelise the world should not be unknown to it.

8. Reintroduce the Catholic Churches fully fledged ethical and moral teaching

   1. including teachings on modesty, Chastity, ways to overcome one’s passions, the necessities of prayer and servitude to God, proper conduct, etc… none of these are flawed, we have just pushed them to the side in the pursuit of vanity

Small clarification

Now again, this is not a call to banners. It is rather an update as to what I’m going to be doing in the near future on both the channel and here. This is just the task as I see it at the moment. I have a decent enough idea of where I am going with all this, though the process of that paths correct formulation is simoultaneously also the task of its pursuit. I will from now on make more attempts at getting a millieu set up, however the precise concept of its constitution is derivative of the insights I will (hopefully) produce on this substack first, as it is easy to just get people together only to have them sit around in a dead online chat.

Small finalisation

So, from now on this substack will have a purpose better than being my occasional rant-soapbox. I have already let some of that shine through in my recent articles where I quote James S Colemans “foundations of social theory” and you can expect more on this front in the future. The YouTube channel main series and german history series will continue as they have, i have recently summed up the bullet points of all the videos leading up to 0.20 (about 27 vids in total, possibly more depending on how I split them), which will be the last of the 0. series, though this process will likely still take on a couple of years to get them churned out, depending on how much free time I can find to make videos. I also plan on launching a website this year, primarily as a register for my various ideosyncratic concepts. All of what I do is still very much in its baby shoes and in many ways I still have to become comfortable with it but I hope that what I am doing with my time on the web will very much blossom into a gargantuan grove of many fruits.
