TRADITION AGAINST THE MODERN

"Behaviour that's admired is the path to power among people everywhere."

"lof-dædum sceal
in mægþa gehwære   man geþeon."
Beowulf.  Seamus Heaney translation.  Lines 24 and 25 (depending on translation)

This was true in days of yore.  Not so much in the Modernist exploitation of public opinion toward elections at the polls.  Literature and study in ancestral ways is the quest for regaining Tradition so that a sovereign people can withstand the onslaught of monstrous subversion.  This is the appeal of Julius Evola, Ernst Junger, and others in a return to ourselves as an insistent revolution.  In the context of the above quote perhaps the more RealPolitik of those like Carl Schmitt could be assayed more carefully.  Yes, "Sovereign is he who makes the exception", as stated by Schmitt, might be a return to leadership by merit if the merit is genuine.  When stating my interest in Tradition, I can be entirely too facile about using the word without giving examples of what I mean.  This is an example.   

The inward Spiritual nature of a person and the ability to maintain this nature in the events of the social landscape is what makes a leader.  This was true in Traditional societies whether they were independent Heathen Jarldoms in Scandinavia or Christian regime monarchies in Old Europe.  I think this was also true at the time of the first American Independence endeavor.   Today, election to leadership is more dependent upon support from the agendas of those who control the media and finances. 

Those controlling the media agenda and statist direction of our world have been protested against.  Sometimes as in the case of George Soros they even fund and facilitate the protests.  This keeps everyone in the same place and under a watchful eye.  Generally in this case the enemy is identified as the "one percent" because it is not clear enough to identify the real problem.  I call the one percent "Bolsheviks" because it places the usurpers in a historical and polemical context.  There is another name that is used by others with more penchant for conflict and political incorrectness than myself.  The words they use are forbidden.  There are still those who recognize that the problem can still be associated with them if we are careful.  The ethnic associations can be taken to an extreme and we should be vigilant that hatred does not replace corrective policy and actions.  However, forbidding the expression of certain historical facts on the threat of loss of employment or social ostracism is a despotism that should be resisted. 

This post is on my Heathen blog rather than my political blog because it might be time to enact political themes based upon Spiritual essence rather than practical engineering. The separation of religious impetus from political action is a Liberal concept that has been accepted as a given for too long.
