Are You a Master or a Slave?

Much of right-wing thought (e.g. politics, literature, arguments, etc) is rooted in pessimism. To be more precise, most of modern right-wing thought can be philosophically diagnosed as slave morality. In other words, it's a reactionary rebellion to the status quo with the acknowledgment that the position is powerless. As the left has successfully demonstrated, slave morality (within the dynamics of Western Civilization, where the moral high ground swings the pendulum of power) can be revolutionary if its adherents are of the revolutionary personality type (right-wingers typically aren't). Due to the success the left has had subverting power via victimhood (i.e. slave morality), the right has essentially morphed into late 90s liberalism (i.e. wordism; e.g. “democrats are the real racists who invented the KKK”, “anyone can come in as long as they do it legally”, “happy holidays”, “undocumented migrants”, “diversity is our strength”) as a way of trying to stay politically competitive in a game designed to reward failure.

The defining component of slave morality (which I like to call the “he hate me blame game”) is ressentiment, or hostility directed at those deemed oppressive, therefore the source of their frustration. The intent here isn't to critique the power structure in order to justify who can harness the power of slave morality, rather the intent is to incite self-reflection and pose the following question: Are you a master or a slave?

The antithesis of slave morality is obliviously master morality. The essence of master morality is nobility. Common behavioral traits for those who exhibit master morality are strong-will, courage trustworthiness, high self-esteem, physically and mentally healthy, masculine and who don't seek validation for their feelings. They lead by example, and set their own rules. Ultimately, they are the arbitrators of morality and have an innate understanding of right and wrong.

Contrarily, the essence of slave morality is utility. The common traits of people afflicted with slave morality are pessimism, cynicism, physically and mentally unhealthy, feminine, deceptive, fearful, low self-esteem and perhaps most importantly, they seek validation for their feelings above all else. Their morality is based on their feelings, and they view most things as a malleable social construct. They are followers who have no desires to become masters, but rather for everyone to become a slave (i.e. Marxist).

A simple societal observation reveals the power of slave morality when implemented effectively. There is emphasis placed on “implemented,” as slave morality is an irrelevant mindset in and of itself. However, this mindset becomes relevant once it becomes under the persuasion of social engineers with an agenda. Nonetheless, the path to power has become who can be the biggest slave. Consequently, the right have become slaves to slave morality.

The refutation to the master/slave morality dichotomy is to reclaim your individual will. Liberation of the will isn't a choice between the binary options of bad or worse; it's emotional indifference and rejection to anything that isn't representative of your values. Don't compromise your integrity. Instead, focus all of your energy on you (and your loved ones) and being the best version of yourself that you can be. Let the slaves grovel for the title of most oppressed, while you influence others by radiating good moral character.

And how do you do that?

Be positive: The first thing one must do is to stop being pessimistic and approach life from a positive perspective in all things you do. Leave the whining to the slaves. Become a master of your emotions and thoughts. Wake up everyday grateful that you're alive. Every morning ask yourself how you can be a better person, and enact it. Do a daily good deed. Create a life you can't wait to wake up to. Never take life for granted, or underestimate how short it is (on the topic of time, the cosmic calendar – the chronological scaling of 13.8 billion years of the universe to a single year – puts modern history at December 31, 11:59 and 59 seconds).

Establish good habits: habits are the driving force behind many of our daily actions. In fact, 40% of what we do is habit. Understanding the rule of habits (cue, routine, reward) and its ability to shape our behavior can have a dramatic impact on our self-improvement. One of the favorable things about the digital age is the amount of information we have at our disposal. There is a plethora of information on the study of habit modification. One of the better books I've read recently is a book titled, The Power of Habit. If you're looking for a book that can be influential in the improvement of your routine, I highly recommend it.

Reject modernity: When liars control the information systems, you're going to be lied to. Western societies have devolved into a low-trust cesspool of misinformation. Nothing exasperated this phenomenon more than the Covid pandemic. There is no reason to expose yourself to lies and manipulation. The information systems aren't just deceptive, they're explicitly anti-White (they don't even try to hide it anymore). Why would any White person get their information from a source that hates them (that's not slave morality, that's just honesty, which is a master trait)? Turn the TV off; and while you're at it, toss consumerism in the trash. Focus on material possessions that you actually need, and get rid of the rest. Consider partaking in the 100 item challenge as a way of liberating yourself from the stuff that you own. As Tyler Durden said in Fight Club, “It's only after we have lost everything that we are free to do anything.”

Embrace struggle: One of the main reasons we find ourselves in the situation we are in is the desire for struggle. Throughout all of humanity, the struggle to overcome and survive has been what has defined us. Although we have overcome the struggle to survive, we have not overcome the desire to struggle. We are victims of our own success. White supremacy gave us Western Civilization, which in turn begot the epidemic of luxury problems that have temporarily solved the existential crisis for the slave. Make no mistake about it, slave morality is a byproduct of White supremacy. The “onward and upward” innovative drive of the White consciousness is the conundrum that creates the very chaos it seeks to conquer. Such is the ebb and flow of struggle.

There are several ways in which we can embrace struggle on an individual level that doesn't result in collective White saviorism (e.g. curing world hunger, climate change, open borders for White nations, etc). In other words, create your own struggle by making yourself uncomfortable on a daily basis, as opposed to trying to save the planet. This alone will stimulate personal growth. Some of these things are:

  • Digital minimalism: minimize or eliminate screen time. Studies have shown that our brains are just not evolved to handle the amount of information we overload it with. The average person spends 6.5 hours per day staring at a screen. That's almost half the time you are awake. Not too mention, there are a ton of negative side effects that come with excessive screen time. Long term this might not seem like struggle, but initially digital withdrawal will be tough.

  • Cold showers: take a cold shower every morning. This is something I can't recommend enough. To force yourself to take a cold shower first thing in the morning not only has a lot of health benefits, but it provides a sense of accomplishment to start the day. It's make your bed everyday with an exhilarating endorphin rush and spike of testosterone.

  • Nature resets: implement the 20-5-3 rule for spending time in nature. Nothing gets us closer to our primitive state like spending time in nature. And considering the average American spends 97% of their time inside, this is a no-brainer. The 20-5-3 rule was formulated by Dr Hopman when he studied the neurological changes after people spent multiple days in nature. The 20 is for 20 minutes of green space 3 times per week. This has shown to lower cortisol levels, boost cognition and improve mental health. To ramp up those benefits, you should spend 5 hours in semi-wild nature once a month. And perhaps most importantly, the 3 is the actual nature reset, where one spends 3 days isolated in nature at least once a year. On day 3, studies have shown that brainwaves mimic that of a meditative state and creativity is boosted by as much as 50%.

  • Fasting: until recently, if one word were to be used to describe the human condition, hunger could very well be that word. Nowadays, only about 30% of the time we eat is because of hunger, the rest is from routine, boredom or gluttony. Fasting puts us in touch with the struggles hardwired in our genetic memory. There are several health benefits of fasting, including autophagy (your body recycling damaged cells as food) and the generation of new stem cells. A simple way to incorporate fasting into your daily routine is via intermittent fasting (12-16 hours without food). This would be my recommended method, as 8 of those hours can be spent sleeping. Plus, once the body enters into a state of ketosis (24-48 hours) it can suck pretty bad. Furthermore, starvation isn't fun. Just putting yourself into a situation in which you are voluntarily struggling with hunger is a sign of mastering self-discipline. It should be noted, that while starvation is most certainly in your DNA, obesity is not. If you're overweight, you're not a master, you're a slave. Eat to live, don't live to eat.

  • Misogi: a misogi is the concept of doing something so hard one day out of the year that the other 364 days seem easy. It can help overcome fear and redefine what's possible. While anything can technically be a misogi, it should be something that you only have a 50/50 chance of accomplishing. There are only 2 rules for misogi: 1) it has to be really, really hard, 2) you can't die. Even if you don't do a misogi, you should always challenge yourself in some way. Always have goals. Eliminate the word “can't” from your vocabulary. Nothing rewarding in life is going to come easy.

  • Avoid escapism: stop numbing your way through life. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling, food or whatever else it is that helps you escape the monotony of life, stop! Be brave enough to reap the benefits of boredom. Force yourself to face the rigors of life head on. Grab life by the proverbial horns and make it your bitch. For many, this alone might be the hardest struggle of all; just living life.

The idea here is to be positive. To present a positive message that can resonate with those who don't need to be reminded for the thousandth time how bad it is for White people. It's easy to obsess and become cynical over things that are not in our control. The important thing is to focus on what you do have control over. And what do you have control over? Your actions and behaviors. Keep in mind, you can do anything you want to do. If you don't like what you're doing, do something else. If you don't like your life, change it. Don't like your neighbors, move. Adopt the mindset that there's no such thing as problems (or excuses), there's only solutions.

As White people, our elites have failed us. But so what? You can still wake up everyday and be the best person you can possibly be. That includes having self-respect, dignity, honor, gratitude, humility, impulse control, kindness and accountability. It's easy to be a slave; anyone can do that. But only the noble can be a master.

No man is free who is not master of himself.” ~ Epictetus

Christianity is White Nationalism


Most of my thoughts these days don’t pertain to the political realm, rather I tend to focus on the level of spiritual depravity that has led to our fallen state—our fallen state as individual people, due to our fallen state collectively as a people. To paraphrase Dostoevsky, there is a spiritual war going on between good and evil, and the battlefield is the heart of man. Nietzsche predicted the outcome for this battle with his statement, “God is dead.” He envisioned a post-theological society, the likes that would produce a nihilistic existence where every year 106,000 people die of drug overdose and 50,000 people commit suicide (70% of those are White men). That’s a million White men every 8 years that would rather kill themselves than exist within the status quo, and those numbers are rising. What a tragedy! It’s not a coincidence that God and White people are simultaneously dying off. Our existence has to have meaning for our children to have a future. Thus, the importance of faith. 

What is faith? According to scripture, it is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). Faith transcends reason, insofar as reason begets faith. Everything requires some degree of faith, we just take most of it for granted. Every aspect of religion is faith-based, and everyone is religious. 

Religiosity is a fundamental essence of the human condition. Our individual belief-system is hierarchical, with our primary belief being not only our religion, but our central identity. You are mostly what you believe most. 

To compare and contrast different religions is futile, and typically paved in self-righteousness. More precisely, it’s a discussion often rooted in pride (e.g., “My God is the real God, because that’s what I believe.”; “I’m too smart to believe in God.”). For Christians, pride is the root of all sin. It was Eve’s pride to “be like God” (Genesis 3:5) that introduced sin into the world. God’s letter to his people (the Bible) explains the origin of our sinful nature. Whether you choose to believe it or not is irrelevant to its validity. But if you want to analyze it philosophically, why has nobody (excluding Jesus) been able to lead a sinless life? Seems like it would be a simple thing to do. 

Aside from the existential crisis and predispositions that lead to religion, why would a person in the Western world be a devout Christian? It’s certainly not cool or trendy. Why would one have the desire to pray, go to church, repent and attempt to live a life that rejects our fundamental human nature, which is sinful? What provokes that desire? Is it just a coincidence that you feel drawn to God? Jesus said, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last…” (John 15:16). 

Christianity preaches rejection of the world. To be connected to the world is to be disconnected from God. The Bible says, "For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world" (1 John 2:16). Christianity dislikes the world just as much as you do. And the world hates Christianity just as much as it hates you. Jesus said as much 2000 years ago, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” (John 15: 18–19). You can belong to the world, or you can belong to God, but you can’t belong to both. 

As I mentioned in the opening sentence, I don’t ponder politics much these days. As a result, I don’t read from the political sphere as much as I used to (honestly, it’s depressing). But I recently came across an article titled, “Christian Nationalism Has Made Me Agnostic” by Jason Kessler, which prompted me write this piece. The purpose not being a prideful critique rooted in “My God is the true God,” but rather an antithesis which attempts to make the assertion that fundamentalist Christianity is essentially White Nationalism, as well as the direct link between God and the achievements of White people, which have undeniably brought humanity out of darkness. 

Christianity brings forth a message known as “the good news.” It’s a miraculous message that inspires hope through God’s promise of salvation. God packaged that salvation unconditionally as a covenant (contract) which developed into a contract with a race of people—White people, who since have changed (blessed) the world inconceivably. Just for a second, try to imagine a world without White people. 

Most White Nationalist-types are pessimists. So they will instinctively find reasons to discredit Christianity. Usually it’s something related to the “Jews.” And while from a theological perspective, that’s somewhat understandable, it’s not very pragmatic. The “Jews” referenced in the Bible aren’t the same people we call “Jews” today. While I assume that most people reading this will agree with that statement, it is also clearly stated in the prophesy of Christ, “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” (Revelations 2:9). 

The intent here wasn’t to go down a rabbit hole, but rather to focus on the compatibility of Christianity and White Nationalism. If you were to walk into a fundamentalist Christian church on Sunday morning, what would you see? Predominately, you would see White families who reject modernity (i.e., the world). If you were to ask them about their values, what would they say? They would typically say that they are family-orientated, against abortion, against homosexuality, adhere to gender roles, despise pornography, don’t watch much TV, vote Republican, work hard and want to lay a good foundation for the future of their children. How is that not White Nationalism? Sure, the majority probably aren’t explicitly racial or have negative opinions about Jews. And they probably don’t read White Nationalist websites, but so what? If these aren’t the people that you ideologically go to bat for, then who are? Why are you a White Nationalist? 

I would posit that fundamentalist Christians are better representatives of White Nationalism than the vast majority of self-proclaimed White Nationalists. White Nationalism in the realm of practical politics should be based on actions and behaviors, not words and ideas. All the words, ideas, mantras and essays are redundant at this point. White Nationalists have been saying the same things over and over for 70 years. 

For pro-Whites who have no interest in Christianity, the question is this: How serious are you about the future of White people? Do you think you’re just going to vote your way into an ethnostate? Are you waiting for minority status to reclaim your glory by way of a victim card? Do you just want to read essays that always focus on problems, yet never propose solutions? This isn’t intended to be a personal attack, the point being that there’s just not a lot of viable options. Here’s the fact of the matter: the modern world is unapologetically anti-White, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. 

Speaking of essays, 10 years ago I wrote one titled, "Is White Nationalism Real?." I concluded that paper with the following observation: 
In conclusion, the term “real” is defined as having actual physical existence. With a very few minor exceptions, the White Nationalist movement would be better defined as a hobby of like-minded idealists. The reality of an all-White homeland in the foreseeable future (in America) is comparable to finding the end of a rainbow…. 

“Nothing ever becomes real until it is experienced” ~ John Keats
 Back then I had this idea that White Nationalism could only be “real” on an explicit, macro level. That’s where I was wrong. White Nationalism only exists (with rare exceptions) on an implicit, micro level. It starts with community. It’s building communities within communities. Like Christianity, it takes effort. White Nationalism isn’t lingo or essays; It’s faith and family. It’s not hating Jews and blacks; It’s loving God and your people. In fact, these are the first two commandments of Jesus as stated in the gospel of Mark: 
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mark 12:29-31) 
You have millions and millions of “neighbors” in the US who think just like you do, they just might not say it the way you say it. There are lots of churches in the US who don’t approve of the world, they just might not do sermons in opposition to interracial marriage. Christianity is centered around the premise that God loved his people so much that he sent his Son to die by torture for your sins. How much do you love your people? 

When Eve brought sin into the hearts of mankind, a perfect world ceased to exist. So, if you’re a White Nationalist waiting for the perfect storm to take us back to the glory days, then good luck. But if you’re looking for a savior and a pro-White plan, one exists that’s simple and effective: repent, join a fundamentalist church, reject the world, make babies and put your faith in God. 

Love your God and love your people. 

God bless!
