The Purpose of Our Movement [briefing #32]

We know that personal growth is the most important form of wealth. These societies that have stifled our growth for too long cannot and will not serve us. Our purpose, then, is to overcome this state of suffering that is leading nowhere. We weren’t born to suffer a life of inaction. We shall act in our best interests to overthrow the chains imposed upon us by the ruling classes. Our movement is a counter-revolutionary movement that will beat back suffering. We shall overcome the times and win ba...

When the Great Thinkers Disappoint You, You Embrace Common Sense [briefing #31]

A bit of a philosophical insight for you, today. I discuss why German thinker Martin Heidegger disappoints because some of his insights are just peasants’ wisdom encoded as “academic philosophy”. I point out that Heidegger’s distinction between practical thinking (which he denounces as “unthinking”) and more meditative states of thinking (which calls “thinking”) are really the difference between more technical and practical-minded thoughts of men, versus the more generalist and more meditative t...

Cultivating Inner Freedom: A Discussion of Ernst Jünger's 'Anarch' [stream #89]

This livestream’s background is an image of Norwegian folk life.

In his 1977 book Eumeswil , German World War I hero Ernst Jünger, who was a prolific poet and philosopher besides having been a soldier and warrior, gave the world his concept of the “Anarch”. Like a Monarch, the Anarch is a person with sole sovereignty and no laws between himself and God. But unlike the Monarch, the Anarch doesn’t have to rule. He has no obligations to society.

Living as an Anarch may be a welcome antidote to the ove...

Fight Harder Than Ever Before [briefing #30]

The final speech cut from my latest livestream #88.

Some tens years ago, my only friend from high-school leaped from a balcony, head-first. I hadn’t spoken to him since graduation. I had no knowledge of it that he was suffering so much. He was the one good at getting girls. I had always been jealous of him. But if he had had the courage to phone me up or come by my house that day, he would have lived. I would have told him that I once had stood on that ledge, too.

But I didn’t jump. I didn’t jump,...

A feminist woman in Mexico, Isabella Cêpa, risks being sent to jail for 25 years because she called a man a man on X. Former Mexican congressman Gabriel Quadri was equally forced to apologize every day for one month for the thought crime of pointing out that some men who disguise themselves as women had taken ...

Liberals Are Toddlers, but Fascists Are Mature People [stream #87]

Today’s background painting is called Belshazzar’s Feast (John Martin, 1821), depicting a scene after Babylon destroyed the First Temple in what is now Israel.

A commenter noted that their 3-year-old toddler appeared to behave as a drunk adult man. The comparison got me to study the cognitive side effects of the most popular recreational drugs in use throughout recent history, say, since the 1920s.

And indeed, each popular substance, varying from decade to decade, from alcohol to fentanyl and eve...

Europeans Did Nothing Wrong: Tracking Migration Through the Ages [stream #86]

It is disingenuous to say that the migration of large groups of strangers into another’s settled society is a phenomenon of all ages. No, modern mass migration is abnormal. We have never seen this before.

People have always lived as migratory groups, as nomadic pastoralists, or as hunters following herds and seasonal fruit crops, but throughout human history and prehistory, most migrations involved small groups of relatives moving away from other families. They were not moving toward each other. ...

Will the USA Betray Europe? [briefing #29]

Will the USA betray the EU in exchange for a good deal with Russia? By deliberately destroying German industry, think of Nordstream 2, Europe will become a consumer market without its own means of production. American corporations can then enrich themselves with the help of Russian raw materials at the expense of European citizens.

Russia has already seized the valuable raw materials in eastern Ukraine. That, of course, was the purpose of the war: the wealth in the Donbass region. And while we ar...
