@jailespleen How about setting up tremendous punishment for anybody who posts Friedrich‘s "Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer“ in any context whatsoever.

@Basha430 It is Faust who says this to Mephisto, which makes it even more twisted; if Faust enjoys, and merely enjoys, the devil has won.
So yes, this very much could be read as the desire to "reign in hell".

@Refugium_Ost Tangential, but I was just impressed with the thought that Milton’s Satan is of complementary mind. Thank you for the verses.

At times I withdraw into the thought of my Comforter, contemplating the figure of him gently consoling a cherry tree.
The ineffable compassion dwelling in that moment is indeed my refuge.
Yet I also know that this thought is empty, and must not be clung to.

時に我は、わが助け主の思ひに退き、桜の樹をやさしく慰むるその姿を念ず。 その一瞬に宿る言ひがたき慈悲こそ、我が身の寄る辺なり。 されどもまた知る、この思ひは空しきものにして、これに執すべからずと。 その不在においても、我は踵を返すべからず。

@Basha430 Also, consider that in Goethe‘s Faust the Devil‘s potential victory is confirmed with:
Werd ich zum Augenblicke sagen:
Verweile doch! du bist so schön!
Dann magst du mich in Fesseln schlagen,
Dann will ich gern zugrunde gehn!

@Basha430 Wir ahnen, wir genießen kaum
Des Lebens kurzen Traum.
Nur im unsel'gen Leiden
Wird unser Herzeleid
In einer bangen Stunde
Zur Ewigkeit.

@AhteS124 Don‘t forget that they are all alcoholics in his estimation 😄

@Refugium_Ost In Imperium Yockey makes it clear his “alliance” is because (as you stated) he saw the Russians as culturally-retarded (operating through massacres and brutality). He believed Europe could throw that off far easier than US cultural subversion which would rot it from within.
English
Literally open any random page in Imperium and start reading. You will not get far without race hatred directed towards “the culture distorting group”, Indians, Chinese, the Japanese, Arabs, Slavs (especially Russians and Poles) etc… He wanted genocide against all non-whites.
Ahte S@AhteS124
Kerry Bolton’s work on Yockey is full of diatribe and bias towards his own political views (pro-Assad and convinced that Jihadi groups are intelligence assets) but it does a pretty good job across its 2000 pages (I read about 1/4) in showcasing Yockey’s intellectual development.
English
@AhteS124 Absolutely, he was in intention of outcome in no way, shape or form different than Rockwell although he was on the opposite side in the Cold War.
People shouldn‘t confuse these men with Remer or Von Leers who actually were sincere about their sympathy with Arabs and Russians.
English
@Refugium_Ost I view his writings the same as Covington, WLP, Mason, Bowden etc… the intellectual worth of their works is beside the point (some of them have some merit but mostly, no) it’s race war agitprop. They were trying to organise and vitalise a violent racial uprising against the USA.
English
@AhteS124 is he wouldn’t even take issue with this statement.
He was also somewhat a plagiarizer and combined Schmitt, Spengler and others in myriad ways to shamelessly fit them into his own collage-art.
I have some respect for the man and his commitment but these are the facts.
English
@AhteS124 He believed in the alliance with the Russians BECAUSE he considered them inferior to Anglo-Hebrew power and therefore incapable of truly conquering the continent; people should actually read "Enemy of Europe".
Yockey was a total oppurtunist for the white race and the funny part

Because you're talking about Iran war in principle, carefully constructing your arguments, but then repeatedly bash antiwar side attacking irrelevant arguments.
This implies that is your default position is Globohomo fagEmpire maga retard.
Bronze Age Pervert@bronzeagemantis
Simultaneously again getting called a Chinese agent and Israeli agent on the same day for retweeting stuff like this and believing this war is a disaster (which I’ve argued for years) but also for thinking “the rich ain’t sending they sons to war” is a stupid argument
English
@AhteS124 This is the key to why for me, even though I do somewhat believe in racial difference (as a relative substrate, not an ultimate ontological difference), Tocqueville still is the more sympathetic of the two.
He‘s truly aristocratic in the sense that his distinction embodied, not

I always found the Marquis’ objection to Gobineau’s theories to be commendable when you realise that he is effectively denying a right that Gobineau wants to bestow upon him (one of biological superiority) on the basis of Christian brotherhood.
Paul Richter@Refugium_Ost
@AhteS124 @homolumen He strikes me as so much more sympathetic in his exchange with De Gobineau who was this begrudged figure clinging to a crude biological materialism to justify the defeat of the aristocracy imho.

@Refugium_Ost @homolumen I wrote a thread on DiA about 2-3 years ago (when I was re-reading it). He was a graceful aristocrat who accepted his time had come. He wasn’t an opponent of democracy, just believed it needed to be tempered and guided. Also, yes, he had an appreciation for Anglo-Americans.
English
@AhteS124 @homolumen Tbh, it‘s quite generic in comparison to so many other gems of yours; don‘t take this the wrong way, it‘s a compliment.
But I think that‘s precisely the reason why 😭
English
@Refugium_Ost @homolumen I have no idea! This was the last post I ever expected to blow up 😭.
As for your remarks on the Marquis. Indeed! He saw democratisation as inevitable and wanted to bring lessons back to France on what they could do to avoid the tyranny of the last time around.
English
@AhteS124 @homolumen How btw has your OP already 460(!) likes again with this new account?!
I‘m setting up for protest and will not follow suit!
English
@AhteS124 @homolumen He was quite the opposite of an enemy of "democracy" in this regard and also said very beautiful things about America.
