ultimately the truth is deeper than any aeshtetic
but you need something to wear, so to speak
I would say my "pagan" also includes Buddhas teachings
and Upanishads
yes, definitely
same here
So your belief system is not informed by a reconstructed and purified Nordic revival right
You are kind of trying to connect as many dots using whatever is available, correct ?
Whatever you think is relevant and substantial
correct, but I choose to focus it in reconstructed Nordic religion as an aesthetic choice
i think the interesting belief systems are very intimately connected, they aim at the same truth
and I happen to like Nordic culture
so it's a bit of a Frankenreligion I guess
Yes, but that aesthetic choice is after all, a folksih choice
Much more to do with folkish identiy, rather than transcendence
Of course, we can say Eddas and Nordic myth are very good, purely Aryan philosophical sources
yeah, frankenreligion
good word
but it ends up closer to my heart (so to speak) than the specific available religions
Well, once a person really moves beyond, or more precisely, when prayers and salvation fades from his mindset
He does kind of marry himself with certain aesthetics
Aesthetics of distance, dignity, warrior spirit
Nordic or Slavic aesthetics display that sure
yes, exactly
And then only all these immigrations, agitations, unwashed masses start to really disgust him
What gets me is all the glory, heroism and sacrifice being thrown away
in favor of paper thin ideals like "equality"
In favor of trivialities really
One life, one completely irrelevant spark
Hey, theres a fate of nation being decided in Syria, an entire historical moment
Yet they post photos of this or that kid, somebody who tweeted from Aleppo or whatever
Sense of greatness is like gone for good, only that matters is some social drama
I think we have a chance of reviving it
I'm not a particularly special person and I feel the emptiness
so chances are others are too
*feeling it
And if it takes an ethno-nationalist counterculture made up of hashtags and frog memes, so be it
there's a sense of glory again
it's a pool that has a philosophical deep end as well as a shallow end
I almost have to agree with Spencer here, that if there is going to be a struggle at all
