Temples, … are the soul of the countryside: they mark the beginning of its settlement, and have been passed down through many generations to the men of today. In them the farming communities rest their hopes for husbands, wives, children, for their oxen and the soil —Libanius

@TeutonicEthos I don’t know of a time when it was ever common in Germanic cultures specifically. It seems like Northern Europe has been mostly monogamous for a very long time.

@witagon Even amongst the nobility it was uncommon. Harald Fairhair of Norway practiced polygamy, and his case is a perfect deterrent. His family life was extremely dysfunctional and consequently got violent.

Tactitus' Germania and Gesta Danorum completely debunks this horseshit. Polygamous relationships existed, but they were NOT the norm.
Camus@newstart_2024

Our species norm is polygyny: 80% of cultures historically let high-status men hoard wives while low-status men get nothing. Christianity (inherited from Rome) forced monogamy for 2000 years. Now we've mostly ditched it—and we're sliding back toward the old pattern. Louise Perry: Lifting the monogamous restriction produces worse outcomes—higher crime, domestic violence, economic inequality. Monogamy is better for women and low-status men. Monogamy isn't "natural"—it's an engineered cultural upgrade that tamed inequality and violence. Do you think monogamy is worth defending even if it's not the "default" human pattern? Or are we better off returning to the species norm? Your take 👇

@dragonblood333 @mhisamaya Because it has relegated the status of a mountain to a tourist attraction, albeit an extreme one. You do some climbing with some fancy equipment while Sherpas carry your stuff. Is it ‘easy’? Of course not. But it is also not really that noble anymore.

Norwoods should grow beards if they can, though. Looks a lot better than being a naked mole rat.

Beards are the sort of thing that either work or they don’t and you should have a full one or none at all.

@_100_C Compare this to India, where a noble seed population of steppe Caucasoids was so utterly watered down as they approached the Ganges that they have been reduced to a genetic dumping ground of the world. They gained a lot, but ultimately lost everything.

@_100_C I think it's pretty hard to separate immigration and integration from miscegenation, because one naturally leads to the other. E.g. broadly speaking Scandinavians who stayed in Scandinavia were the ‘losers’ who didn’t conquer new lands and acquire loot, but they also never mixed.

Don't like to moralize because it doesn't work but the real problem isn't even immigration or even integration/desegregation. The problem is miscegenation. Even that isn't really the problem, the problem is white babies aren't replacing white deaths while non-white births explode

It is thus important for the growth of the best and brightest that they are born around normies who do not constantly hinder them. Imo, the best mode for such normies is one of quiet subservience to the local community and the land. It doesn’t interfere with higher goals.

The decay of normie living affects us all, because it is in a normie world that we are born and raised. You are incredibly lucky if you were born around truly intelligent and high-quality people, but regardless, most of your life will be dealing with low-quality people.

Although it has grown somewhat sexy to call trad ruralism a larp in this sphere in recent years, it is still worth remembering that London only grew to around ~1M by 1800. A lot of problems in modernity revolve around managing a world with an unprecedented quantity of people.

This is an old Newfoundland accent. It sounds almost like a variation of Scotland.

@HammerandVajra I don’t believe in cosmic evil. I think actions can be utterly depraved within their context, and lead one to ruin, but I don’t think evil exists on its own, per se.

Do you believe in the existence of evil? Feel free to define evil below if yes. Or why you do not if no.
