Promethean
European culture is a hell of a lot more than academia and the bourgeoise, it’s the culture of the rural and working classes, and the interaction between them.
Without them, academia and the bourgeoise would’ve had nothing to stand on, and ceased to be.
For me, ethnocentricity has intrinsic value.
I like my people and my culture, I don’t like other people as much, I don’t want to be surrounded by them.
Fundamentally our culture isn’t outmoded.
It needs to be integrated with modernity, not denied, dismissed or discarded, or rather modernity needs to be integrated with it.
What’s infinitely more imaginary is 8 billion people from divergent and in some cases, incommensurable, incompatible backgrounds coming together, joining hands and singing kumbaya.
The Arab laying with the Jew.
The Mexican, Muslim, illegal and refugee maintaining our civilization in our relative absence.
We’ve been here before.
Macedonia and Rome were the precursors of modernity, and the European dark ages that followed is the precursor of the global dark ages to come.
The only thing inevitable about it is its collapse.
Ecologically, socioeconomically, even in terms of our physical and mental health and wellbeing, this growth is unsustainable, and aside from perhaps the overclass, hasn’t done anybody much good, particularly lately in the last several decades.
But that’s what civilizations tend to do, overextend themselves, decay and collapse, it’s just ours will be on a grander scale, and since in all likelihood end in nuclear war, we may never recover from it.
What’s referred to as liberalism (I’d rather call it something else, like techno-feudalism) is actually a civilization on its deathbed.
A civilization that’s been gutted both by the international elite, and uneconomic migrant.
A civilization that’s forgotten its backbone: its citizens, the productive working and middle classes.
A civilization that’s totally uprooted itself from anything natural, healthy and holistic, more fit for machines than men.
What follows now is disease, infertility, a reduction in life expectancy, and death.
The antidote then would be populism, and sustainability, but not in the sense the internationalists use the word, to mean austerity, mass depopulation and replacement.
It’s the monstrous internationalists that must die for the sake of restoring harmony between civilization and nature, not the people.
I haven’t watched MTV in like a decade, and I hardly listen to the radio.
The problem isn’t technical proficiency in and of itself, but the lack of connection with anything real.
There’s no passion, meaning or depth behind it, and it’s not even that intricate.
Take Dragon Force for contrast, not only are their songs infinitely catchier, but they require much more skill to play.
While I tend to prefer music with vocals, a lot of music I listen to these days is European, so I can’t make out most of it.
It’s the passion, breadth and depth of the vocalist I’m looking for and most importantly, the melody.
It has to evoke feelings, or it’s crap.
There’s no poetry here, just abstract math; clinical; sterile.
