Odds and Ends, 4/18/22

In der news.

The hobbit hole crowd would like to ascribe the B-2 comedy (and I suppose the earlier FOGBANK fiasco) to the end of a "Faustian impulse." (note - then why isn't Musk's SpaceX an indication of a surging Faustian impulse)?

The hobbit hole argument is not very persuasive. The time interval between knowledge/no knowledge was very short; true that civilizations can decline very rapidly at the end, but in this case other explanations seem more likely. The amount of effort required to retain the knowledge was minimal, if the will to do so was present. The will to do so had less to do with Faustian drives into the unknown and more do with national security interests and basic technological expertise.

American science and technics, like America itself, is dead because it was MURDERED, not because of a "natural death" from a loss of Faustianism. The Jew-High Truster alliance, together with their colored pets, have made the entirety of the American STEM enterprise, including military/aerospace, into "diversity, equity, and inclusion." The American military, literally, cares several orders of magnitude more about "social justice" than about B-2 bombers. We have a Jew-High Truster hyper-capitalist ethos that only values immediate profits (apart from social justice, I suppose some loss of profits in the same of equity is allowed, but STEM will always be sacrificed for money). We have a darkening and dumbed down population, a pathetic educational system, and a corrupt culture.

You can ascribe all of that to "a loss of Faustianism" if you wish, but I doubt any of it would be a happening in the absence of Jews and the absence of the "Yankee" Puritan tradition of moralistic outrage.

Let's compare the hobbit hole high culture to my vision of the overman high culture, which is summarized thus

No more “proud, tragic” failure in “striving for the unattainable” in the “Faustian” culture – instead the Overman Culture will be characterized by the proud successful attainment of the infinite. That is what a hopeful individual can project as the new High Culture of the West, with links to the Classical and the Faustian, but surpassing both in the aim and objective of the human spirit. That is what Western Destiny can and should be.

Two people get it.  See this.  Also see this.  Steuben's trash post was one of the worst ever at Counter-Currents, and that's saying something, considering how badly the site has degenerated. One MUST understand - Steuben is expressing the underlying worldview of Der Movement's "traditionalism" - they WANT to live in 10th century hobbit holes. Actually, they THINK they want that - if they had to give up all the perks of modern life, they'd collapse into a fetal position and weep softly. Yes, type on your computer and spread nonsense over the global Internet while advocating a return of the Dark Ages 

There are three choices:

The System - to the sewer

Der Movement - to the hobbit hole

Sallis Groupuscule - to the stars

Quo vadis?

See this.  Also see this.  Liddell and Cochran weep.

See this.  Of course men have more "love at first sight." Men care about physical appearance. So, milady, men don't care about your "personality" (sic), your "intelligence" (sic), or your "accomplishments" (sic). The ONLY thing that matters is how you look. So, think about that as you waddle to your fridge to take that pint of ice cream out of the freezer.

Blasphemy of the day: The excesses of German National Socialism ruined fascism, wrecked the West, and put the White race in its current dangerous situation.

Now, there is nothing wrong with the basic principles of national socialism, which I agree with. But combining it with German fanaticism and militarism is what led to all of the problems.

When German fascism should have done was simply expel all of the Jews and other aliens (one way or the other), build up the country internally (which was done in the 1930s), and form alliances with fascist movements in other nations, and of course with Fascist Italy itself. These alliances would be defensive, not for conquest, and to help fascists come to power in other nations of Europe. Merger with Austria was appropriate, as that was popular with ethnic Austrians (ethnically akin to South Germans). As regards German minorities in other nations, they should have been repatriated to Germany, as opposed to seizing the territory in which they lived. The "Polish Corridor" should have been dealt with diplomatically. The alliance of fascists, perhaps in conjunction with Western democracies not threatened by German expansionism, could have put together an anti-communist and anti-Soviet alliance.

White supremacy = Whites defending their legitimate interests, the same as every other group does

Saving White children from White supremacy = brainwashing White children to disregard their own group interests, and sacrifice themselves for others who hate them.
