  • How Humanity Dies

    How Humanity Dies

    “The real power and property in the government is in the great aristocratical families of the nation. The nest of office being too small for all of them to cuddle into at once, the contest is eternal, which shall crowd the other out. For this purpose, they are divided into two parties, the Ins and the Outs, so equal in weight that a small matter turns the balance. To keep themselves in, when they are in, every stratagem must be practiced, every artifice used which may flatter the pride, the passions or power of the nation. Justice, honor, faith must yield to the necessity keeping themselves in place.”

    –Thomas Jefferson to John Langdon, 5 March 1810

    Society as it exists today – the status quo – is accepted as the way society should be. The idea that our civilization is largely a mistake is unthinkable. Even among our so called “revolutionaries,” civilizational suicide is taboo. They wish to change who collects the taxes, but fear changing anything real. They believe we can all ride bicycles and subsist off front-lawn fruit gardens.

    If you were to give our so-called revolutionaries the power to let the dominant way of life slip away, they would hold on. They would look upon civilization as Frodo did the Ring.

    Progressives believe the empire must be reformed, reconstructed, repaired. To cast it into the fire is wrong, except, of course, in the case of Fascism – but not “our sacred democracy.” The Progressivist “Ins” love to describe our empire as “our sacred democracy” for exactly the time in which they are holding it.

    When they are not, of course, they hate the entire essence of the nation. “Not my president.” “America was never great.” “Burn it down.” But let them hold the Ring and suddenly it’s redeemable.

    Though what makes our sacred democracy so redeemable? Of the founding ideals, which to them are sacred? Liberty? The liberty of laws reaching the ceiling for every trivial category – the majority being drafted by corporate lawyer snakemen? Democracy? This Democracy where the sons and daughters of the last representatives are elected to be bribed as their major means of earning? Is it Reason, finally? Our reasonable society whose highest scientific institutions push admitted lies when they feel it serves a moral purpose?

    If every pillar of the west is diluted, what then is the purpose of the west? Why has it created this half-war on us? And what is the difference between half-war on humanity, and total war?

    Wasted time. Wasted lives. We humans are swimming in a river of our own shit for fear of standing up into the chilly breeze.

    Conspirators twist our laws. Collectivists game our elections. Charlatans pervert science. Our civilization stands only for the continuation of stuffing bread and sugar down our fat, cancerous mouths. Our idealized forms are two fat, tumorous bodies, smacking together as they fuck – like pug-dogs, so inbred they can hardly breathe. Narcissist parasites jerk each other off in penthouse bars, siphoning public funds into their personal accounts while we serfs walk the street with the knife-attacking, serial-raping, drug-addled retards. Waste-world.

    (pictured: Solomon Galligan, a 33 year-old sex offender recorded trying to kidnap an 11 year-old boy in Aurora Colorado, and who the District Attorney has decided to drop all charges for ((his fourth release of the same kind)). I could have used any fentanyl addict here but everyone is talking about this one and I needed a photo.)

    Return the hunter, the warlord, the steppe nomad. Return the head-chopping barbarian–strong and beautiful. Death to the wheat-eater. Death to the bottom feeders and the parasites.

    The position of holding on to this civilization is the position of slowly killing ourselves.

    On the mountain of evolution and progress, we are stuck at an impasse. We’ve given the vote as to whether we turn around, to a populace that has only been carried and carted their whole lives. The only group that doesn’t reject the mountain’s existence, offers the solution of sitting down and dividing up bread–praying we will one day meditate into floating over–or something even more treacherously retarded: that whatever Thing finds us from above will kindly throw us a ladder.

    What if I were to suggest quite seriously that we must turn around, go back, go down and around to continue going up?

    Our civilization exists today like a great tanker-ship, over-capacity with wheat and corn, riding a knife’s edge that – for the moment – is cooperatively still. But one single burp of electromagnetism from the sun later, and we can say goodbye to the little party we’ve called “recorded human history.” One plague. One bomb. One deviously intelligent little computer…

    Our people aren’t even responsible for their own individual survival, yet everyone’s opinion is equal in the continuation of the species.

    Moderates; Commies; AGI demon-summoning cultists; Retvrn to Rome faggots; goat-herder religion worshippers; magic crystal collectors; those disposed to suffer evils while evils are sufferable–this is our species. This is Mankind, our majority.

    When the ship capsizes, we lose 7 billion people if we’re being optimistic. We go back to cholera and typhoid. Armies of illiterate soldiers slaughter and rape the few cities left, spreading new (and old) religions that are demonstrably retarded. The world will again empower those men most like Genghis Khan, Muhammad, or Montezuma. The true God of biological life, natural selection, will also again be perverted into torture cults and death worship. The healthy and the beautiful will be skinned alive by disease-invested Gollums.

    There are two paths to avoid that fate, and neither are moderate.

    1. We let go completely – let everyone loose to live and die as they please. Complete freedom, including the freedom to destroy one’s self. We maintain enough order to stop theft, murder, and pollution; but mutual-combat returns, people eat lead if they can’t read it on the label, and we allow corporations to grow to any size and monopolize all the intellectual property they can legitimately claim. You could describe this path as Anarcho-Capitalism.
    2. We take direct control of this human ship and aim it at biological perfection. Natural selection is enforced. You will not be sheltered from war but purposefully drug through it for an amount of time deemed suitable. Whether you breed or hold power will be contingent on empirical merits. Most would describe this path as Nazism, but it’s more extreme than that. Nazis were a welfare party for white Christians. They were deluded for not being objective enough, and were ultimately a populist movement with elitists working in the shadows. Oppositely, this ‘speciesism’ would be openly elitist. In the same way International Communism is inherently predestined to battle every dissident nation in its sphere of influence, so would international speciesism. (Surely there would be terrible aspects of this system, misunderstandings, false-beliefs from cultural bias, superstition, etc.)

    Both paths have relatively similar outcomes despite opposite structures. The question is then which would be effective, or if both would work, which one would be more terrible or less robust.

    But time is ticking.

    There surely exists a species among the stars that is diligent and stoic, but ambitious – even ravenous. A warrior species that –like us – killed all their predecessors, but accepted their nature and decided to rage. One that has bet everything on material science and not wasted its civilization chasing quantum commie bullshit – especially not after one tiny century of industrialization.

    Are we to allow the most gremlin-like of our kind to admit defeat for us? Are we to pass the torch to machines – the fake-tits version of intelligence? I want to win. I want humanity to reach as far as it can. I want to peel the layers back on reality. I want the descendants of humanity to feel the wind on their face and not be chair-ridden diabetics. I want them to be better than me, faster, more intelligent.

    For that, humanity must be re-animalized, reinforced, and redefined. Our psyches must be hardened to resist maladaptations and the plainly obvious schemes leeching our society. Our physical bodies must be made more capable instead of less. And if machines are going to replace us, an ultimate suicide of the species, let them win that fight fair and square – not with us strapped down and with rectal tubes up our asses.

    As we modern humans have been forced to adopt diet and exercise to ward off early death, we must somehow re-adopt natural selection to ward off civilizational death. We must stop watching sportsball like little monkeys and replace that with real conflict.

    The universe waits while humanity dies.

  • So You Want to See Combat?

    So You Want to See Combat?

    “War may be the only way in which most men touch the mythic domains in our soul. It is, for men, at some terrible level, the closest thing to what childbirth is for women: the initiation into the power of life and death. It is like lifting off the corner of the universe and looking at what’s underneath.”

    -William D. Broyles, Jr. (1988). Why Men Love War. Esquire.

    Droves of our young men (and women) are curious about war. They watch Russians and Ukrainians kill each other on YouTube™, or Kurds and Turks on Gerilla TV, or worse on anonymous dump sites and messaging apps. For many of these voyeurs, maybe the largest portion, these videos are a stand-in for their real desire: to see combat for real. But our youth have all been taught that war is destructive, evil, a relic of our savage past. Their desire to go to war is the compulsion of a twisted mind, so they’re told.

    I was one of those boys. I wanted to know that hidden part of the world. That part of myself. The boys and girls I fought alongside all wished for tremendous combat–to witness it, to put our bodies in it.

    When the jets screeched, or a bullet-crack rang my ear, it was more than exhilarating; it was what I had been waiting for. We ran to it, set alarms, became more diligent than we were in our old lives, just to partake in as much as possible. We all had our surface reasons: political ideology, heroism, revenge. But behind all that, what we wanted was an answer to a question: 

    What is war?

    War is the sole manifestation of truth. It is reality–unadulterated, purified, and intravenously injected. It’s where all the could’ve-would’ve-should’ve turns into did or did-not. It’s THE canon. The ultimate non-fiction. It is the die roll of fate, coming to a distinct and undeniable stop. 

    What you believe war is, is some second, separate thing. You can read, watch, and talk all about it–but you will only have that second thing.

    There is wisdom gained only through war. You will see the real world there, and see men as they really are, and meet your real self. And I can tell you what I’ve seen, but that’s not the same as seeing it. Someone could tell me what heroin feels like–but that’s not feeling it. 

    Many think war is a test–a Darwinian measure of aptitude–while another half think that war is fruitless, meaningless. I’ll address the latter first.

    The self-righteous believe war is all bad. They believe they know war by their looking at footage, or reading, or hearing the stories, or their tour in the sandbox driving roads with bombs on them. “War. Huh! What is it good for?” But central to this view is the belief that our species is not naturally warlike but is naturally civilized. This is incorrect.

    Without straying too far from my own purview, the simple truth is that we humans have been brutally killing each other for much longer than we have not. Our prehistoric human ancestors practiced war. Our primate ancestors before them practiced war. Our current primate relatives practice terrible, savage war.

    For every human that existed before civilization, life was war. Our species was born into war because nature is war. 

    Before industrialization, the child mortality rate was fifty percent. Half of all children born would die, either at birth, or in early childhood. Those that did survive contended with predators, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, famine, fire and frost. When we built walls against those, the problems didn’t stop but worsened: plague, populism, human sacrifice, witch trials, assassination, conquest, insurrection, sectarianism, holocausts. 

    We humans built civilization very recently in our total history, and it has not spared us from war but refined it, industrialized and digitized it.

    Hatred of war is an equal–if not worse–naivety than optimism. It is an ignorance toward nature and a refusal to look at one’s own animalness. It is a quiet surrender to those that still torture, chop off heads, or blow themselves up for their goat-herder religions. The question “what should we do about being alive?” will be argued for in blood by those who are most concerned about it. Refusing to answer in blood reassures the head-chopper that you cannot handle the decision making process. To them, speaking and killing are a single form of communicating differing only in severity. To a degree, they are correct. (How does a lion argue? A dog? How would primates argue before we had words? Physical communication is communication.)

    The optimist, on the other hand, thinks of war as a test; a measure of their skill and competence–their specialness. That is only half true, and of the part that is half true, the optimist doesn’t understand. 

    See, war doesn’t measure how fast you run, or how well you shoot, or how good-hearted you are. It tests how long you can sit in the dirt like an insect, watching for hours with nothing to occupy your mind but the slim chance that an enemy may suddenly emerge and–for a split second–be killable. It tests how well you can ignore your evolved sense of danger; to fight equally whether behind the next corner is only one enemy or fifty. 

    It tests your manners: how well you can live in a group so intimate as to shit shoulder-to-shoulder. There are no hot-shot, Tom Cruise characters in war–just assholes whose comrades want to smoke them more than the enemy does. No matter how physically capable you are, you can’t be rude and a good soldier.

    The other half of war is watching good people, people better than yourself, get obliterated for no good reason.

    I saw war was a fickle bitch, killing without regard to virtue, justice, or beauty. It is the cruel darkness of nature. Back home you can look away–look away from the slightly-rotting human animals lining our streets. In war there’s nothing else to look at, and you wouldn’t want to.

    “Part of the love of war stems from its being an experience of great intensity; its lure is the fundamental human passion to witness, to see things–what the Bible calls the lust of the eye and the Marines in Vietnam called eye fucking.”

    -William D. Broyles, Jr.

    I saw that combat was a sport–a game that usually rewarded the better team.

    In combat you see the animalness of men–their brains damaged, pieces missing. In those animals you will see yourself. You will see nothing and everything; the black streak of missiles you didn’t think you could spot with your eye; supersonic detonation–an instantaneous expansion of matter that your animal brain wasn’t evolved to comprehend–the demon that took Nobel’s brother but made him as rich as a king.

    What you thought war was will smash against what war is. You will see your ignorance laid out–possibly at the expense of your life or the lives of those next to you. 

    The hopeful soldier is looking for proof of their worthiness, the same way he looks for validation from young women. It’s naive, but still a noble desire. You might just find what you are looking for. People may need you. You could join an exceptional group and find belonging that the modern world cannot give you. 

    But when the war is over, or you decide to leave before you die, what can you take back with you to civilization?

    Nothing. No belonging. No group. No standing. All the signs in the world will once again read: you’re dog-shit. “Thank you for your service,” is a sick joke and even more so if the person means it. I didn’t go to war to save others, I went to war to save myself from others. Being out of war is like losing a great love.

    Life in war is meaning, purpose and belonging. You see it every single day in the love and admiration of those around you–whom you also love and admire. I have met great soldiers and wonderful people who come back home, after years of surviving just fine in combat, to immediately kill themselves.

    What the war-seeker truly desires is meaning. They are starving for it. But war is transient relief–sugar to your hunger. So unless you want to die early, you must find meaning in life and not war.

    But meaning is not the standard course of modern life. It is absent from our social model. Civilization has expunged war and survival from our lives, and threw out with them meaning and belonging. This is why you feel the hunger. Why do you think our most popular books and movies are all about catastrophe, or apocalypse–the current hegemony conveniently burning to the ground?

    There are good people all over the world unfairly afflicted by war. There are still good causes to join. But if you do go to war and survive, when the rifles are put down and you’ve carried your friends to the grave, you will return to a more terrible battleground: our meaningless civilization.

    And who will be left to fight that battle? Politicians? Cops? Your parents? The work-from-home, vote-by-mail, DoorDash™ revolutionaries?

    Who’s going to fight the war of our wasted civilization? And who could be more motivated for the job than you?
