“The symbol of this battle, written in a script which has remained legible through all human history up to the present, is called “Rome against Judea, Judea against Rome.” To this point there has been no greater event than this war, this posing of a question, this contradiction between deadly enemies. Rome felt that the Jew was like something contrary to nature itself, its monstrous polar opposite, as it were. In Rome the Jew was considered “convicted of hatred against the entire human race.” And that view was correct, to the extent that we are right to link the health and the future of the human race to the unconditional rule of aristocratic values, to Roman values. By contrast, how did the Jews feel about Rome? We can guess that from a thousand signs, but it is sufficient to treat ourselves again to the Apocalypse of John, that wildest of all written outbursts which vengeance has on its conscience ...
The Romans were indeed strong and noble men, stronger and nobler than any people who had lived on earth up until then or even than any people who had ever been dreamed up. Everything they left as remains, every inscription, is delightful, provided that we can guess what is doing the writing there. By contrast, the Jews were par excellence that priestly people of ressentiment, who possessed an unparalleled genius for popular morality. Just compare people with related talents — say, the Chinese or the Germans — with the Jews, in order to understand which is ranked first and which is ranked fifth.”
― Nietzsche

"But that's not a civilisation. That's just a group based society where people paddle along and hope to avoid getting into trouble..."
None of our present changes until we radically rethink, along first principles, what our civilization is about. I don't enjoy attacking people, I like only sending messages of strength and vitality to yall, especially because you are my brothers and sisters of the sword. But there needs to be huge changes.
If you can't see that Liberalism, Bourgeoise values of suburban homes/market lifestyle/slavery to comfort, are *the* existential problem from which all challenges of our present are mere symptoms then we are doomed. This is regardless of race too, consider the nations which adopt the values we have, Korea or Japan for instance, they face the same problems. This is not an advocation for communism either. One my suggest a true third option...
Too many are simple reactionaries or petty racists to not see the big picture. We have the opportunity to completely overcome Liberalism as such in our time now that it is mortally wounded, don't let it resurge. Have the courage to dream better dreams. Even dream beyond those which happened in the 20th century.
