If you take the logic behind the liberal view of transgenderism and apply it to women with anorexia, then what they really are is fat women trapped in skinny women's bodies. Calling it a mental illness or saying that they should be "helped" makes you an ignorant bigot. Just because you weigh 60 pounds doesn't mean that you can't see yourself as fat. OMG, so much this, its 2015, I can't even.
The same logic also has some interesting implications regarding guys that think they're Napoleon, or Jesus.

Time to Wake the Saxons
It seems that Jesse Benn's wish came true. Two young White people were murdered on live television by an angry Black man on the morning of August 26. They didn't attack anyone, unlike Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin. They were simply killed for being White. According to the media and liberal commenters, White racism and guns are to blame. The narrative being spun puts me in mind of this poem:
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
QOTD: Jonathan Bowden
"Liberalism is moral syphilis. And I'm stepping over it."
-Jonathan Bowden
Jonathan Bowden was one of the greatest thinkers and speakers of the Right. Sadly, he died much too soon in 2012, of a heart attack. I was captivated from the first of his orations that I listened too, which was a speech entitled "Western Civilization Bites Back." A search for "Jonathan Bowden" on YouTube will turn up a multitude of lectures and speeches by Bowden on a number of fascinating topics.
This quote comes from another talk called "Credo: A Nietzschean Testament" which can be read or listened to here. For the casual viewer, I want to point out that by "liberalism," Bowden doesn't simply mean the sort bitched about by Michael Savage or Rush Limbaugh; he means all of Liberalism, from Classical Liberalism on, from the first emergence of the Left. The entire stinking mess, the syphilitic rot that threatens to destroy our civilization.
I'm stepping over all of it.

The disapearance of White Identity
This post is somewhat of a continuation of this one, separated so as to avoid tarring the swordsmith featured in that piece with the brush of "racism."
I first began to become "red pilled" on the subject of race when I realized the degree to which White identity is marginalized and denied in the modern world. This is still the essence of my racialist views. I am infuriated by the widespread belief that White people have no culture, and no interests that need looking after, that we should just disconnect from our "racist" past and allow ourselves to be bred out of existence. The White race is portrayed as a faceless monster which sprang from nothingness, that has only oppressed and stolen from other cultures.

The White race is portrayed as a faceless monster which sprang from nothingness, that has only oppressed and stolen from other cultures.
I didn't become aware of this trend overnight. The process took several years, but I vividly remember the moment that it began. One night about eight or ten years ago, I was reading a collection of essays about Appalachian culture. I forget the name of the book, it is packed away somewhere now. One of the essays contained a statement to the effect of assuring that Appalachian culture is not just a lame attempt at White ethnicity. Attempt at White ethnicity? I didn't understand. I had always assumed that White people have an ethnic background like everyone else in the world, but this statement seemed to imply that White people have no ethnicity. It also seemed to imply that White people "attempting" to have or express ethnicity is a bad thing.
Well, I thought, Maybe I just don't understand it. I continued reading, but that phrase, lame attempt at White ethnicity, remained subconsciously at the back of my mind. Over the years it would resurface occasionally, like the tip of an iceberg, when I would see "cultured" Whites on television, in books, and in real life, praising other cultures, other ethnicities, and other religious or philosophical traditions, but never their own. I still didn't make the connection, but it would trigger the faint whisper, ...attempt at White ethnicity... with the implication that we have none of our own.
With every liberal exhortation to "get some culture," every celebration of "diversity," and every Cultural Marxist critique of White historical figures as pathological old dead white guys, my awareness grew until it finally dawned on me in full consciousness; every mainstream use of the word "ethnicity" means non-White ethnicity. Every reference to "culture" means non-White culture. Diversity means the proliferation of non-Whites to the point of demographic replacement. White history is nothing but a series of crimes and cultural thefts. Even the shallow, tepid version of European history taught in public schools is too Eurocentric, too White. All mainstream discussion of racial issues consists of the fanciful grievances of non-Whites against Whites. Indeed, we are told over and over that race does not exist--but what is really meant by this is that the White race does not exist; no good anti-racist would ever directly claim that the African or Asian races don't exist. Even Jews are a race when it suits them. But not us. Whites are a social construct, which we apparently constructed ourselves; but to dwell too long on this paradox is to risk madness.
The orthodox narrative is full of such paradoxes. All races are equal (and of course race doesn't exist anyway), and yet Blacks are oppressed by "White Supremacy" (not "supremacists" or "supremacism", but by the sheer intellectual and economic superiority of Whites, according to many anti-racists). Others believe that the United States is in fact controlled by a vast White Supremacist conspiracy, despite evidence to the contrary in the form of the constant anti-racist, anti-White narrative being pushed in all schools and mainstream media. Whites are portrayed as uniquely oppressive, and uniquely "racist," despite the fact that White identity and advocacy of White interests are all but nonexistent, and racial consciousness and identity are common in every other race. Thus, when Malik Zulu Shabbazz or Khalid Abdul Muhammad openly advocate the mass murder of White people, it is not racist. But when Jared Taylor talks about White identity, it is taken as evidence of genocidal hatred.
The lesson that is taught to Whites is that you have no race, you have no identity. No real culture, no real history. Nothing to be proud of. You are the cancer of human history. Any community of White people is at best boring and repressive, and needs to be improved by an infusion of Somalis, culturally enriched by vibrant Blacks, Muslims, and Latinos. And any objection means that you are a racist, a Nazi, a monster, twisted by hate, from whom decent people must be protected. This all passes under the noses of thoroughly indoctrinated and de-rascinated Whites without much notice. Most want only to be socially acceptable and avoid accusations of racism. But when one becomes of the lies and the scale of the assault on White identity, it is infuriating. The surprising thing about the Dylan Roof incident is that it doesn't happen every week.
The erosion of White identity has been a deliberate move by the Left. It's course can be traced through Boasian anthropology, the Psychoanalytic movement, the Frankfurt School of sociology, and any other intellectual movement embraced by the Left which has wormed its way into the mainstream.
All of this needs to be stopped, and reversed. People are drawn to the Alt Right and Reactosphere because they are aware that Western Civilization is in dire peril. Western Civilization is White Civilization, and it cannot be saved without a rebirth of White identity. That must be our first goal. Of all the cultural and ideological damage that has been done to the West, the destruction of White identity is possibly the worst, and in my opinion is the first that needs to be corrected, because Whites will not begin to care about saving their Tradition, their civilization, or any of the higher ideas of the Right until they care about their own race.

A Civil Rights activist.
A hateful bigot.
To suggest that these captions should be reversed is racist.

QOTD: Greg Johnson
Today's quote of the day is from Greg Johnson, Editor-in-Chief of Counter-Currents Publishing. The entire article can be read here.
"This is the story of our whole race in a nutshell. More whites are dying than being born, and whites are being replaced by non-whites in our own homelands. And what will happen to our history, our culture, and all our precious stuff when there are no white people around to care about it? Most of it will go in the dumpster."
The story that Greg Johnson is referring to is that of an elderly woman who lived next door to him, who passed away a few months ago. She apparently had no family, or at least none who cared about her possessions, most of which were left in her house when it was bought by an Asian family. As they emptied the house, the woman's books were put in bundles on the curb for recycling. One of the bundles contained a Latin bible, printed in 1618. According to Greg, it contained inscriptions indicating that it had been in the same family since the 1600's. It's value in terms of the heritage it represented for the family that owned it must have been priceless. But the family that owned it died out, and all of that heritage goes in the dumpster because there was no one left to appreciate it. The home's new Asian owners were uninterested even in the book's monetary value as an antique. As Greg says, it really a metaphor for what is happening to the White race.
This is a theme that I have been hammering on recently, particularly in a piece that I have been working on and hopefully will publish in a day or two. The things that White people care about will go in the dumpster of history when we are not there to protect them.
Counter-Currents Publishing is a wealth of fascinating articles on various topics. I highly recommend checking them out.

QOTD: Julius Evola
I would like to start making "Quote of the Day" a regular feature. Probably not every day, but as close to it as I can manage. For today, here's Julius Evola again on democracy and aristocracy. From Men Among the Ruins:
"We may add that the system that was established in Europe through the advent of democracies (i.e., the majority system based on universal suffrage) is characterized from the start by the degradation of the ruling class. In fact, the majority, being free from every restriction and qualitative clause, is necessarily on the side of the lower social strata; in order to win the favors of these strata and be elected to office by their votes, it will always be necessary to speak the only language they understand and to give priority to their predominant interests (which are naturally the most coarse, material, and illusory), always promising but never demanding. Thus, every democracy is also a school of immorality, an offence to the dignity and inner code of conduct that ought to be the trademark of a true political class."
This is a much more eloquent and accurate statement of the problem expressed in the variously-attributed quote, "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only
exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the
public treasury." An egalitarian democracy with universal suffrage is 99% of the way to socialism, and especially when combined with "diversity" will inevitably descend into Gibsmedat.

Battle Light--A Beacon of European Culture
I very rarely find myself moved by a piece of art as much as I am by this beautiful sword crafted by swordsmith Petr Florianek. This piece was made for an exhibition of swords by contemporary smiths at the Deutsches Klingenmuseum. The theme of the exhibition is "sword of piercing light." Florianek's piece is called Beadoleoma, "Battle Light." Every feature of the sword is symbolic of Northern European culture and civilization, which I will let the maker explain himself in this video. I recommend watching it in full screen.
More pictures can be seen here, and his website is here. This is the kind of thing that I wish more people appreciated. This sword offers a brief glimpse into a history and culture that spans millennia, a heritage that has been mostly forgotten. It is a reminder that we come from somewhere, from something.
Few people, if any, appreciate the history and culture of ancient Europe as much as the students and makers of historical European blades. Pursuing this interest definitely spurred my research into European history. I don't know whether racialist views are more common among bladesmiths of the European tradition; if so, they keep it to themselves, which is to be expected in today's world where a "racist" post on the internet can cost one his job. Controversial subjects are discouraged on bladesmithing forums. I in no way wish to imply that Petr Florianek or any other smiths have any racial opinions one way or the other, but I appreciate what their craft does to help preserve our history.
This sword has inspired me to write about the topic of White identity and the disappearance of it, but I will save that for a future post.
