I was a different man when I began this blog. You can see the changes; I hid nothing since the first post. Writing was different. Beliefs were different. Policy positions were different.
Yet what remained consistent was my definition of "Empire", and my insistence that it is a metaphysical force that is no good for Mankind. Today I call it Satanic, though I am open to the idea that Empire is an egregore, but even that just ends up in the same place and changes nothing but a few details on how to destroy it.
That was not all that remained consistent. Before I started using the term, I never heard of "Narrative Warfare", and I never saw anyone attempt to track a toxic meme (or, if you prefer, an egregore) across time and space in the attempt to seek out its origin. (TLDR: As of this post, Genesis 6 and the Book of Enoch.)
That said, I have decided to move this blog (by this name or another) to Substack. I will do so around the turn of the year. The reason is simple: Substack makes it very easy to monetize, and I am no longer in a position where I can do this for free. While the Clubhouse is meant to be mostly free posts with a few paywalled specials, I will do the reverse for this; key posts, such as conceptual definitions, will be free and the rest paywalled (albeit with a preview, sometimes of some substance).
The aim is simple: to make enough from direct subscription-based support to ensure that I need no external support thereafter. I wish it were not necessary, but it is.
What I am not hearing out of this is why this makes a State an Empire.
Furthermore, this doesn't even need a King or Emperor. All it requires is a Patriarch. The basis for Civilization is the Family.
No, I don't mean it the way it's used now. As that video shows, the Family is a State unto itself- and it is an Absolute Monarchy.
While I agree that the European nations long for kings, and being Euro-descendant that still has weight with the American nation, we Americans must take the harder roads and revert straight to Ancient Patriarchy.
The modern State, the modern Corporation, and the modern individual are all Fake and Gay bullshit. The ancient family is ALL of those things, and it is Natural Law; this is an emergent property written by God into the fabric of Creation itself. Any polity that doesn't build off of this deserves to die.
A fixed American polity, which must be a Republic or it's not American, works this way:
The Family--defined as the entirety of the legitimate (i.e. born in wedlock) scions of a total patrilineal consaguinity--is the fundamental unit of the American polity. It alone has Personhood as we define it now, and thus assumes traits we current put to both natural and corporate (i.e. legal) Persons. The Patriarch of the Family is Pater Familias, and is the sole party responsible for ALL family members regarding outsiders; he has both absolute liability and absolute authority- and the power that goes with both.
Within a given political boundary, the eldest Patriarch administers that unit as he sees fit. The town is run by the eldest Patriarch in town, and so on up the chain. This is not negotiable. Don't like the current guy? Gank him, and everyone else, between him and your guy. Simple as.
The Family is checked only by the Church. ("Which one?" I capitalized the term. Figure it out.) The Church, furthermore, is there to be a safety valve; orphans unable to find homes, dissonant outliers who cannot find a place in secular society, etc. are to be taken in by the Church and either made useful (clerical work, ordination, etc.) or made impotent (i.e. by taking them out of the country, putting them in monestaries or hermitages). This is the only major change from the Ancient Family and religion, as the Ancient model is pre-Christian.
This addresses all of Spoon's criticisms, while retaining the core American character. There is nothing about republican forms of government that requires ANY democratic mechanisms at all. You can, and I have laid out how, a Republic can have absolute leadership.
There is a crystal clear chain of command between Families in terms of seniority; this is Explain Like I'm Five levels of simplicity and robustness. The system runs off "Fix it or I fix you" as a core tennant, making explicit in form what is already implicit in function in real life, and it removes those segments who have no business being anywhere near power or influence from having it.
With the Church on hand to intervene when things go awry (and the possibility of the Church again also being the Bank; see the example of Crusade-era international banking), and a system where the failure modes are well-known and well-documented (to make fixing and replacing easy to do), and you have a system that (a) conforms to Natural Law, (b) requires little complex machinry to operate (literal and metaphorical), and thus (c) is very robust and easily maintained without (d) having to resort to Empire. This is the basis for a Nation-State that WORKS.
Retards, Normies, and Dissidents alike say things like "The US is an empire. Empires don't last forever. The debt alone will sink the US."
You underestimate Globohomo if you think anything like this. Yes, Vox Day, I am looking your way- and you too, Doug Casey, and many other that ought to know better.
The Cycle of Empire is broken. Two things did it.
When a fucking Socialist and Marxist gets how this works better than "Right" talking heads do, SHAME!
This is how the system works. It's been implicitly so for centuries (see The Money Masters), and every last head of every last Central Bank in the world freely admits that this is how the system works on camera, on the record.
What does this mean in simple terms: The United States CANNOT GO BANKRUPT! You want to know why there's always money for things? This is why.
There will always be funding for the flexing of Imperial power because this is how the system works. Doesn't matter what the number is; the cost is paid, guaranteed. (If you want to know why you pay taxes, it's this simple: to compel the use of the currency issued. That's it; this is why the tax authorities are one of the strongest enforcement agencies in every government.)
That, right there, breaks the cycle. Yes, this is how it works in Russia and China (and India, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, etc.- but NOT in European Union states because they are slaved to the Euro).
In theory, you could wage enough economic warfare to make the capacity of the economy unable to absorbe the generated currency, but that's where the backstop comes into play.
This is also the reason that the United States (as the muscle and engine for Globohomo) will never be openly invaded by hostile powers. (The traitors within are another issue, which is what we have in the US right now.)
Who the fuck is going to Margin Call the people who have (a) All The Nukes, sufficient to incinterate all life on Earth several times over, and (b) a ruling class sufficiently petty and venal to slam the button with the fist of an angry god if they believe that they stand a chance of losing power?
That's the other thing breaking the cycle: the ruling Imperial power has Everything That Matters under a Sword of Damocles. Everyone running a government knows this, which is why all of the hostile action against the United States (and by extension, Globohomo) is against the American nation and done by the American state using hostile actors as catspaws.
That's right, all those "Fuck you Yankee" sorts? You're all suckers being used by Globohomo. Good job, retards.
Until you break MMT, even removing the nukes is not enough; remember that the nukes are a backstop, not the backstop. MMT in effect means that one backstop can easily be replaced by another, and that "another" is already in development. (Yes, ol' Elon can, and likely is, involved in this somehow- if only as just a hired service to launch killsats.)
Empire Must Fall, but it will not just fall due to the old cyclical forces playing out. Globohomo's Thralls successfully patched that out, so it has to be done actively.
Take out the MMT, then the nukes, and then Empire will fall.
The incumbent elite class of the West are either traitors or incompetents. Either way, they have to go.
Yes, Academic Agent, I see you in the back. Don't think me unfamiliar with The Populist Delusion; I am calling for a long-overdue circulation of elites, and you definitely own Auron MacIntyre a cigar because the treasonous Western elites need The Woke so they won't put it away. It is the incompetent opposition that want to do so, but cannot because of some combination of corruption and incompetence.
The Death Cult afflicting the West seized power. They hold power. They are not going to just surrender it; it must be ripped from their hands by force.
Electoral measures are necessary, but not sufficient. We have already seen that Globohomo Thralls of Empire give no fucks about doing what it takes to stay in power; they just have preferences on the measures employed to do so.
They are necessary because these elites are guile-based narcissists so they are word-wizards and Narrative Warfare specialists. They cannot wield force well because it repulses them at a fundamental level; it disgusts them, so they are also disgusted by the men needed to use that force on their behalf, distrust them, and do what they can to keep them on very short leashes to assuage that visceral disgust when not needed in the moment to do violence that they cannot or will not do themselves.
These Globohomo Thralls will do whatever it takes to neuter or destroy threats to their power. AfD gets elected someplace? Lawfare, procedural gridlock, financial fuckery, etc. afflicts them into impotency when they can't just have elections stolen from them. Then, once the threat is put down the retalations come in the manner Mike Benz explained when he was on with Tucker Carlson: all power of the State is employed to destroy all possible enemies. This happened to Trump, and it is now happening to Marine Le Pen.
These same Globohomo elites recognize the potential for more action, so the massive invasion of hostile foreigners from Africa and Asia accelerated and flows of invaders are now deliberately deployed--with the aid of local elites in the targetted areas--into pockets of enemy populations specifically to disrupt those populations and eliminate the threat that they pose to Globohomo.
The only thing Globohomo Thralls of Empire can do is basic recognition of threats by enemies and the manipulation of pawns to throw into the way as disposable shields to tank the hits while they attempt long-term degradation strategies to wear down enemy targets into impotence and collapse- and they do this to rival Imperial powers and enemy domestic populations alike.
Which returns me to "necessary, but not sufficient".
What is necessary with electoral measures is to inflict psychological stress upon them repeatedly, which is happening as even Thralls far from a given episode's occurance (e.g. American Thralls about AfD's electoral wins) flip their shit about The Wrong Side Winning.
Which, in turn, forces more and more brick-to-face obvious flexes of institutional power in order to address the threat and assuage the freaked out fellow travelers. These are, in turn, pointed out on social media that Globohomo does not control--such as Twitter--and now more and more people see with their own eyes what was only talked about. You cannot tell them; you have to show them.
As more such actions and reactions pile up, it gets easier to show how these things directly and immediately affect a given individual; this throws popular support increasingly behind the dissident elite cohort organizing to punt out the incompetents in charge and their craven co-conspirators playing false opposition. This is a feedback loop, and it has become a race between how fast the dissident elites can organize and deploy political energy behind them vs. the Globohomo elites using State power to smash apart such bases of power.
Yes, this means that the dissident elites have cottoned on to the need to erect and maintain parallel organizations based on patronage; the real breakthrough will be when there is a route-around for the financial system fortress in the global bureaucratic order, as not even the rival Imperial powers have squared that circle just yet, though the Red Dynasty of Emperor Winnie has tried the hardest followed by the Neo-Tsar.
