Quantus tremor est futurus - Actaeon Journal

Part of what separates the old Left communists from the New Left is the belief in subjectivity, even if this only amounts to a reversal of subjectivity. The New Left views capital as an abstraction, a vector of historicism, which results in a stale type of Enlightenment pessimism.

The birth of slop.

“Er sah ihn stürzen, trinken Und sinken tief ins Meer, die Augen täten ihm sinken, Trank nie einen Tropfen mehr.” [He saw it plunging and filling, And sinking deep in the sea: Then fell his eyelids for ever, And never more drank he!] That to which all politics returns.

Unfortunately the question of hatred is implicit, or rather, something worse than hatred is the result of nations today, whether pacifist or militarist. How is a nation recognised today? By election of already recognised states within the world’s governing…

"Sure, but advocating for one’s ancestral identity presupposes any sort of “hatred”. It’s simply asking for a place to live autonomously without fear of retribution from the highest liberal class. Alliances between races can happen organically so long as there…

This is also the mistake of racial protest: hatred without an enemy. It is alien to the democratic form in its language, and yet capitulates to its rule of limited struggle. The result is a further abstraction of the problems of race. Spengler was mistaken…

We are today divided from nationalism as much as from God. The old hatred is lost to us. This is also part of Jünger's turn from ‘vitalism'.

"Léon Bloy's effect on Ernst Jünger presents an extraordinary problem. For Jünger could only approach Bloy, the ‘pariah’ with his wild hatred of Protestants, Prussians, and Germans, by overcoming the most violent disgust. But Léon Bloy's diaries are also prototypical…

Anti-America I've only ever seen very talented or uniquely intelligent/creative Americans not exhibit this dark aura, this gloominess of outlook and dimness of soul. They are excited by violence, brutal by disposition, inelegant, ignoble; insects: hard yet flexible and soft on the inside. Their heroes are all Cossacks, and those familiar with the history of that culture will understand; Americans are an enforcer race.

"Spengler's universalism is an imperialist annexation of the past, excavation as triumph and conquest." ~ Carl Schmitt
