Elitism, Caste Confusion, and Nietzsche. [Mar 20, 2024]

A big problem with the RW, and especially the online RW, is arrogance. Now let me say this first: I don’t think it is really THAT bad to have an ego. I was actually thinking about writing a ‘stack about the importance of ego and the utility of an “arrogant” leader. So don’t call me a soycuck, ok pal?

What I really mean is more that sometimes the RW can be a little too elitist. Yes, elitism is really a fundamental aspect of society and really nature itself. We aren’t lefties who think that hierarchy is artificial and arbitrary. We all acknowledge that hierarchy is supposed to exist, either because of religious beliefs or because we are Social Darwinists—we all agree on this fact.

But a lot of the time it gets taken too far.

Elitism

I like Earendil. He is funny and he makes me laugh. But sometimes, like the best of us, I think he flops. Maybe this is one of his trademark facetious posts. I don’t know. I don’t really care either because this is MY point in MY post and this supports it.

Yes it is true that European civilization has historically been relatively individualistic. But this is relative to the hordes of the Orient. Orientals are literally bug people!!!!! They live in hives!!!! Europeans were not so individualist as to create societies that revolve entirely around a handful of people. It is important to remember this. Yes, perhaps the peasant farmer is stupid and smells weird. But you know what? If you killed him then YOU would have to be the peasant farmer, or else you would have no food. So yeah, treat your peasants right folks.

But what really blows my mind is that pagan types are often the ones who say this the most. You can’t discuss the virtues of the caste system and then turn around and say that all poor people should be blown up or something. If you believe in the caste system due to religious reasons, which many RW pagans do (at least partially) then you have to admit that the local peasant is being noble by fulfilling his duty as a farmer.

Besides, considering your duty as a warrior, you should not waver. Indeed, for a warrior, there is no better engagement than fighting for upholding of righteousness.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 31

Maybe you want to be warrior or ruler caste. Maybe that is your calling. But it isn’t everyone’s calling and you shouldn’t hold that against them, otherwise you are being inconsistent and also retarded.

Now any atheistic RWers who are all elitist and think poor people should explode or whatever, I will discuss them in a following section. This is because Nietzsche is important here and I will be discussing Nietzsche in his own section. So SHUT UP I can organize my essay HOW I WANT!!!!

If you are a Christian and think poor people should explode, idk what to tell you man. The Bible is pretty clear on this sort of thing, even if it doesn’t advocate for a caste system or whatever.

14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, console the discouraged, help the sick, be patient toward all people.

1 Thessalonians 5:14 (LEB)

Caste Confusion

A person’s spiritual position will be ascertained merely according to external symbols, and on that same basis people will change from one spiritual order to the next. A person’s propriety will be seriously questioned if he does not earn a good living. And one who is very clever at juggling words will be considered a learned scholar.

Srimad Bhagavatam: Canto 23, Chapter 2, verse 4.

I want to first say that, while I am a Christian, I think the caste system does exist. Now, obviously I don’t think this is like specifically ordained by God like in the Hindu faith, but I think it exists. I think the caste system is just sort of an emergent fact of human society. Humans, as they live and reproduce, fill their niche through a combination of genetic and social adaptations. This is why the stereotype of the “cornfed farm boy” exists; because their genetics have been selected to make them well-built for arduous farm labor and their family has developed a tradition of preparing hearty meals to sustain them. Basically, I think the caste system exists for the same reason atheist Social Darwinists do. I wouldn’t say that I agree with the particular structure of the Hindu caste (I think it is silly to put warriors in the same caste as kings, and to have kings below the priests instead of equal) but I think it does exist.

Anyways, another big problem with the internet right (and especially on iFunny it seems) is caste confusion. In particular, you have people who are clearly warrior caste trying to talk as if they are ruler caste. Ridiculous! Sorry buster, your designated role in life is to beat up people that your boss (me btw) tells you to. You don’t get to choose who you beat up, because you would make bad decisions. This is why you are a warrior and not a ruler. What’s that? MAOA-LPR polymorphism? With low-activity alleles?¹ Yup, you’re destined to die on the battlefield bud!

Some of these people may not be so blunt as to outright say that violence is always the answer, but the answers they propose are always very crass and naïve. Sorry folks, TND can’t happen. Would be impossible to sell to the public, even if it would be the most efficient solution to the groid menace. Total N Repatriation though? That we can do….

But this is what I’m getting at. Alexander the Great may have been a warrior by trade, but was Great because he wasn’t like the other warriors. He exemplified a contemplative style of leadership that was comprehensive in its approach. Same with all great leaders of antiquity; they aren’t JUST great warriors but also great politicians.

This is why the British Empire was the most successful empire in history. They didn’t just cut swathes of swarths down in foreign lands. They civilized them; tamed them. Built them infrastructure and bestowed knowledge. On some level, British subjects appreciated the British. They had to. If you listen to old Boer or Rhodesian dudes talk about life before the collapse, they will talk about how black people actually liked British rule… until libfarts that is… Naturally this all fell to crap with stupid libfarts starting feeling bad about colonialism or whatever, and so they decided they would “free” the little swarths. Unsurprisingly, just like a pig released from a farm, they turned feral and savaged the land they once prospered in. But the principle was sound. You just have to make sure to blow up libfarts on sight. Libfarts ruin everything because they are stupid like that.

Anyways, you can’t just go around beating people up and expect them to accept you as a leader. You have to make them actually like you. Yes, this entails a certain display of strength. But it also demands restraint and compassion. You can tame anything, including people, with the proper balance of strength and wisdom and this balance is what characterizes the ruler caste, not the warrior caste or the scholar caste.

TL:DR You can covertly beat up libfarts for me while I’m off campaigning for office. Like brownshirts. But sorry pal you don’t get to make policy decisions. Krishna would probably be mad if I let you do that.

Nietzsche

I’ve also just stopped identifying the totality of white people as my ingroup. I’ll stand forever with true scions of Rome, but not with boring unambitious hobbits. A lot of white people are lazy and stupid and self-destructive and I don’t see Rome in their eyes. Europe has basically become as stagnant and docile as Ming China, and most “nice white” parts of America like Nebraska and Vermont are wretchedly provincial and effeminate in their character. It’s in more diverse regions like Texas and Florida on the Right and Cali/NY on the Left where you see true dynamism—where things actually happen and people have any sense of imperial destiny. These are the places that attract elites capable of building a better future.

Race isn’t nothing, but it isn’t everything either.²

Ugh this comment makes me ANGRY RAHHHHHH!!!! The rest of the article was pretty alright though. But when I read this part, I just KNEW I had to make a new ‘Stack… The Hobbits are LITERALLY the good guys in LoTR. Dis is the Agrarian Ideal which lurks in the shadows of the human psyche.

“Diocletian actually relinquished the imperial fasces of his own accord at Nicomedia and grew old on his private estates. It was he who, when solicited by Herculius and Galerius for the purpose of resuming control, responded in this way, as though avoiding some kind of plague: ‘If you could see at Salonae the cabbages raised by our hands, you surely would never judge that a temptation.’”³

The Hobbits, Diocletian, (and Polk teehee) all understand the draw of the simple life. The is a profound simplicity in homesteading. You have complete mastery over your domain. It makes sense. But if you think Polk was lazy, you better be prepared for a slugging pal…

Friday, 29th December, 1848

Many matters of minor importance and of detail remain on my table to be attended to. The public have no idea of the constant accumulation of business requiring the President’s attention. No President who performs his duty faithfully and conscientiously can have any leisure. If he entrusts the details and smaller matters to subordinates constant errors will occur. I prefer to supervise the whole operations of the government rather than entrust the public business to subordinates, and this makes my duties great.⁴

No. You should thank great men like Diocletian and Polk for their service and dedication to their people. Not whine when they decide that it’s finally time to take a break. Now, I’m not some sort of Ayn Rand homofag⁵ who thinks great people owe nothing to society or whatever. Ideally, Polk would have stayed in office until he died or wasn’t elected (ugh 4 year terms SUCK but at least there were no term limits yet). But I’m not going to be a whiny little baby about it.

He manifested our destiny is what he did. He was a great American statesman, and in this house James Knox Polk he is a HERO!!! End of story. He deserved to take a break. Even if he died a of cholera a few months after leaving office…

Ok off my Polk soap box. Point is: being a ruler—being a good ruler—really isn’t that fun. It’s definitely not for everyone. I don’t blame the Hobbits (literal or figurative) for living the way they do. It is a very pleasant life. That’s why Tolkien wrote them the way he did. That’s why Bilbo and Frodo were so important to the history of Middle Earth. Their simple and down to Earth nature made them perfect for resisting the pull of the One Ring. That’s why bread and circuses are so important in keeping the masses happy. If you take away their simple, pleasant, lives they will kill you.

You are not “better” than the average person because you post textposts online. I am though, but that’s just me. I’m swag like that.

This all draws back to the previous sections of this post (wow that’s crazy it’s almost like I planned that). Mr. Bismarck is clearly a smart fellow. I give him scholar caste. Not ruler caste though, he is too narrow minded for that. But he has projected his Nietzschean philosophical inclinations onto the masses and this is improper. Which also brings me to Nietzsche, which is what this section is supposed to be about.

Nietzschean philosophy is about manifesting your Will to Power. It is post-moral; this is what he means by “God is dead” in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Nietzsche supposes that humanity has surpassed the need for God and the moral codes that accompany religion. This is what separates him from secular moralists like the Utilitarians, who wanted to get rid of religion but keep the moral codes (and were thus left with an inconsistent, nightmarish, code of morals). Words like “good” and “bad” don’t actually meaning anything to a true Nietzschean, not objectively anyways. Good and bad are subjective, relative, value judgements (but not in the libfart way). In this sense, when Nietzsche also says that true adherents of his philosophy will never read his work (or the work of any other person), what he is saying is that by reading the work of other people, you internalize their value judgements as your own. This is inauthentic and your are in effect allowing someone else—at least partial—mastery over your life.

I don’t really even agree with Nietzsche here. The summation of your character is as much a synthesis of your experiences as it is a discrete platonic form of what is “authentically you” and so making the distinction between what outside influences you consume is ultimately an arbitrary process. There is no real difference between a philosopher and your own parents, in terms of their potential impact on your character/beliefs; both of them contribute to your experiences, which in turn contributes to who you are as a person. But I ain’t the nigga using Nietzsche to help define and support my worldview. Ion play wit dat foo. Perhaps I will make a post about my major philosophical influences someday.

That is to say, the “Hobbits” of the world are content and fulfilled with their lives, and they have achieved what they want. Can you say the same? If not, who are you to pass judgement? They are more successful than you in this regard. Maybe it isn’t their ordained role in the universe (or maybe it is if you’re a Hindu I guess) to be “effeminate provincials” but it’s what they are good at and they still occupy an important niche in society. There is a reason why the the Sovereign was the head of Hobbes’ Leviathan, and the People were the body. The peasantry will always be the backbone of society and their is a sort of quiet nobility in the profound simplicity of such a life.

Layne was SO real for this one……..
