Today my friends I will preach to you about INEQUALITY, and I am going to explain why inequality is a virtue, and why we should cultivate inequality, embrace inequality, strive for inequality
When we look around us and we meet our fellow man (and woman!) what drama do we see played out again and again but the tragedy of aimlessness and nihilism? The other day a friend said to me, "I am basically a nihilist. I smoke weed and drink and fuck. I have nothing to live for"
This is what it's like to be ruled by liberal ideas. Liberal ideas say a man and a woman are interchangeable, that people from different cultures are interchangeable, that any man is as good as any other for any purpose, and we wonder why we feel useless?
The appeal of inequality and the thing that you must understand is that a world of equality is a world devoid of meaning. The appeal of inequality and hierarchy is that everyone has a place and they know it and in that knowing is security
When you force people to imagine they're equal you flatter them to destroy them. When you pretend you're as good as anyone else that's when you stop trying to cultivate and improve yourself and the moment you stop growing you start dying hence the inevitable nihilism of equality
âThis is just a straw man of equality. We need some forms of equality.â No. All doctrines of partial equality are unstable isotopes of total equality. https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1031893387819905025
Personal responsibility is only and ever a right wing impulse because when we acknowledge and cherish inequality can we use our betters as models for improvement. https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1024462501306462208
Equality robs us of the faculty of self-improvement because it destroys all possibility of self-improvement because it teaches that you are already perfected in every way that matters and the ways you are deficient are no fault of your own
My friend the nihilist is not happy in his nihilism. The momentary hedonic rush that he feels from moment to moment is only in the end a grim reminder of the ultimate POINTLESSNESS of his life, because he has been robbed of all context in the universe
I believe that we are hard-wired for belief. In the past hundred years we have seen the collapse of religion, and inevitably therefore we have seen the collapse of structure and meaning and identity. Hierarchy = structure which gives us identity which gives us meaning
If you are right wing you don't want to tear a civilization down just because you don't privately believe in its gods. We have to understand that belief is not a narrowness, belief is an understanding that there are truths outside nature that are absolute
Strength (which is a virtue) comes from BELIEF in things that are philosophically grounded and which appear real to you. The tyranny of liberal ideas, which claim to want to dissolve all tyranny, is that they render all beliefs unreal, and in so doing render strength impossible
Why do you think leftists are constantly going on about how weak they are, how broken they are, how much pain they feel, how tired they are, ad nauseum? It's because their beliefs have transmuted strength from a virtue to a vice and they rightly see strength as illiberal
We all want someone to look up to, whether it is a superior man or a God but liberalism has defamed and criminalized this deep yearning of the soul. "The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom" I could never parse this as a child because liberalism renders it unintelligible
If strength is criminal then authority is criminal, which is why the left is engaged in a permanent revolution to tear down authority. Indeed, the authorities that rule over us have let us down, not because they possess authority but because the authority they have is undeserved
We are ruled at present not by a military elite or a political elite but a commercial elite and EVEN LIBERALS can see that greed and profit are not the proper objectives of morality, but in their morality, which is perverted, they think the problem is an excess of strength
Strength is not the same thing as authority, but it conveys authority. Our elites invert all decency, because they call cowardice by the name of courage and they call submission strength and in so doing they debase their authority & abdicate responsibility https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1032976775188369408
You can't have authority without morality and you can't have strength without belief and you can't believe in anything strongly so long as you believe in liberal ideas, because if everything is equal then nothing is better than anything else and all beliefs are meaningless
In order to escape from this hell, which is primarily psychological, we must find a way to believe in something and in order to do that we must above all destroy the false idol of equality, for it saps us of our vitality and turns us into pointless wastrels
