THE AMORALITY OF PACIFISM


Although there is no single explanation for the plight of the European peoples and the ongoing destruction of Western civilisation, we can perhaps distinguish between two different categories of explanations. With regards to the actions of our globalist, Cultural Marxist, Jewish, and corporate elites, so-called "left-wing explanations" are most appropriate: here we are correct in speaking of a hostile and exploitative ruling class, busily engaged in running down the West for its own benefit. (Indeed, as Sean Gabb argues in Cultural Revolution, Culture War, the various Marxist and Marxist-derived critiques of Western society should be read backwards as "manifestos" of the oppressive, unprincipled and self-interested regimes that are invariably set up by the students of these critiques.)

However, underpinning the rule of this hostile elite - and preceding it in time - is a more longstanding and natively developed self-destructive mentality in Western white people (particularly the middle classes), which cannot reasonably be blamed on anyone other than those white people themselves. This mentality consists of a toxic pacifism and idealism which, even when distinct from pacifism as a political dogma, is generally obsessed with keeping the peace at all costs and furthering the delusional vision of a world in which strife between peoples has become a thing of the past. With regards to this phenomenon, it is "right-wing explanations" such as decadence, cultural effeteness and racial suicide that seem to ring true.

DEFIANT CHASTITY


When popular culture is relentlessly permissive and debauched, the only true rebellion is to exhibit self-denial and fearsome wholesomeness. In spite of these undeniable contemporary circumstances, most kids today still choose to “rebel” by being utterly conformist in mindset and behavior; they show their supposed “individuality” and freedom from society’s constraints, that is, by doing exactly what the culture instructs them to do. Inter alia, they wear tight-fitting clothes, get pierced in various unseemly bodily regions, and consent to have their lower backs plastered with tacky tattoos; they drink, take drugs, and engage in numerous, random sexual encounters called “hook-ups.”

Perhaps such behavior was provocative at one time, in the pricklier clime of a more conservative Zeitgeist. Today, however, it is truly yawn-worthy, more of the same ol’ same ol’. To use the parlance of the times, it is simply “lame,” and not in the least bold, to engage in such ubiquitous activities. There is nothing exciting about these presumed “transgressions” anymore. The only truly transgress-ive act is one that rejects the notion of such pathetic faux-defiance with steely contempt, which opts instead for that which the sheep-like majority now commonly shuns as “reactionary.” Put succinctly, licentiousness is now utterly boring and bourgeois, while chastity is the sexy new taboo.
