INTEGRITY

Is it even possible in the modern age?

by Colin Liddell

What does the word “Integrity” even mean in the modern age?

Etymologies are often better than definitions, so here goes:

c. 1400, integrite, "innocence, blamelessness; chastity, purity," from Old French integrité and directly from Latin integritatem (nominative integritas) "soundness, wholeness, completeness," figuratively "purity, correctness, blamelessness," from integer "whole" (see integer).

The sense of "wholeness, perfect condition" is attested from mid-15c.; that of "soundness of moral principle and character; entire uprightness or fidelity, especially in regard to truth and fair dealing" is by 1540s.

The central idea here seems to be wholeness as an essence (or essence as a wholeness). For a human that comes from the way he or she lives and acts.

Still abstract. But if we reformulate it a little to ‘believing in what you do, and doing what you believe in’ then we get closer to a real and practical definition.

People in the past really had it easy in terms of integrity. Life was simpler, more isolated, and more direct. It was easier then to live with integrity. By contrast modern life militates against it.

How is this so? There are many examples. In fact, everyday I see them rushing in on us, and I see them shaping and poisoning our culture.

The tendency towards conspiritardary that is so prevalent today is surely a reflection of the absence of integrity in modern life. What we essentially see here are people supporting something while they are also opposing it.

Going one way with your whole mind and soul is integrity, going two different ways is the complete lack of it. Integrity is aerodynamic in a sense.

Are you fighting your own shadow too?

■ Conspiritards 'believe' there is a globalist plot to destroy their culture, take their jobs, and reduce them to materialist cogs in the machine. Yes, they are right, and they oppose it, but they also entirely support it.

Time spent shopping for cheap goods made in China: 10 hours a week
Time spent maintaining unique ancient traditions: a few seconds of wistful thought
Time spent moaning about globalism on the internet: 5 hours

Conclusion: Zero integrity ■

■ White Replacement Worriers believe that there is a plot to “genocide” the White race. Yet, these are the same people who have actually had sex with other White people while using contraception. And not just once but thousands of times. Hate to say this, but most non-Whites banging White girls without contraception are doing more to save the White race than they are.

Conclusion: They are the White genocide that they proclaim to oppose.

Actions, remember, speak louder than words. ○

■ Opponents of the “System” claim that our political system is “fixed,” “broken,” “tyrannical,” and “undemocratic,” and only exists to serve and justify elite interests.

That doesn’t stop many of them voting in it.

Also, their opinion is wrong: politicians are quite clearly striving to give most people what they want while wrestling with the inevitable consequences and awkward fall out of this.

What the voters want are rising economic and consumerist opportunities, along with almost toxic individual lifestyle freedoms. This is exactly what politicians, with a few twists, turns, and fiscal restrictions, have been giving them for the last 70 years.

Sadly the polling hasn’t been done on a politician running on a ticket of the government forcing you to get married and have kids before you’re 25, but I suspect it would be in triple digits, with the first digit being ‘0’ and the second one being ‘point.’

The fact that what the people want ends up producing shit-low fertility, replacement migration, and creeping anti-immigration sentiment are just other kinks in our wholehearted democratic system that our literal “servants of the people” find ways to cope with, through such quaint ideas as multiculturalism, anti-racism, and partial “immigration restriction” laced with copious loopholes.

The essential problem that our elites constantly have to struggle with is us, i.e. that the People they rule over and serve have no integrity, and simply want to have their cakes and eat them.

Rather than a kakistocracy we live in a “cakiestocracy.”
