Civilization is the rule of the few over many.
|
|
|
|
The many are domestic;
|
|
they don't fight or explore;
|
|
Like a dog, they only face nature if forced.
|
|
|
|
But they are not built for it.
|
|
|
|
When the King walks by, they kiss the King's hand.
|
|
They all know, they live on the King's land.
|
|
Every house, every village is a guest.
|
|
They kneel for every request.
|
|
|
|
The King is their Lord;
|
|
Their link to Almighty.
|
|
He is the closest they've seen to divine.
|
|
By his word, they build up the nation.
|
|
By his word, they march on time.
|
|
|
|
This is the way that Europe advanced.
|
|
Inspired by Plato to shape their men
|
|
|
|
But every time, the sun must set
|
|
They ran from God and killed their kings
|
|
And all their people began to blend.
|
|
|
|
The American Republic is different.
|
|
Every man is Elite.
|
|
The fugitives and royals who came
|
|
For freedom to stand on our feet.
|
|
|
|
The fighters, explorers who did not fit in.
|
|
Too restless, too bored to care about sin.
|
|
We sought domain,
|
|
We sought rule,
|
|
We followed Destiny and conquered the world.
|
|
|
|
For better or worse, we are leaders.
|
|
For better or worse, we are kings.
|
|
We are the mighty who bested our parents,
|
|
and we are the ones they need.
|
|
|
|
We are the ones they yearn for,
|
|
we are they ones they watch.
|
|
Though they will never admit it,
|
|
As soon as we say, they will march.
|
|
|
|
Hail to the King of America,
|
|
Hail to the King of the West,
|
|
Hail to the King of the English Empire,
|
|
the one where the sun never sets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Collectives become larger when people are more indoors.
|
|
|
|
Big groups are helpful for winter.
|
|
|
|
For farming, for building, for keeping the peace.
|
|
|
|
Peace is important when we are inside.
|
|
|
|
This is why the Havamal is so interested in manners.
|
|
|
|
When we are inside, we are united.
|
|
|
|
We are not crossing each others' paths;
|
|
|
|
We are not creating chaos.
|
|
|
|
This is why Northern peoples are more collectivist.
|
|
|
|
Seriousness is fear.
|
|
|
|
But there is always a spirit, even in the North.
|
|
|
|
A spirit of movement; a spirit of war.
|
|
|
|
These men keep moving, when others stay still.
|
|
|
|
These men rule the domesticated many.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, as the Mongols, they conquer.
|
|
|
|
For many years, collectives have been growing bigger.
|
|
|
|
This is the Story of Civilization.
|
|
|
|
With World War II, we expanded the collective to the Earth.
|
|
|
|
This is the domain of America.
|
|
|
|
It has lasted 80 years.
|
|
|
|
Every man needs a domain.
|
|
|
|
The smaller the domain, the simpler the work to maintain it.
|
|
|
|
Large ones seem to be unreliable.
|
|
|
|
For the whole Story of Civilization, men have kept small estates.
|
|
|
|
As Kings come and go, many small estates stay the same.
|
|
|
|
This is because they are connected to the Land.
|
|
|
|
They are useful to the King.
|
|
|
|
They make food and goods for him.
|
|
|
|
But sometimes, they are displaced too.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, every man wants to be a king.
|
|
|
|
This is the birth of democracy.
|
|
|
|
Instead of living on the King's land, they live on their own.
|
|
|
|
They are their own conduit to God.
|
|
|
|
They talk to him directly.
|
|
|
|
They do not trust large political or religious collectives.
|
|
|
|
But, if every man becomes a king, every man risks decadence.
|
|
|
|
If every man is a king, every man can raid his neighbor for goods.
|
|
|
|
Some domains naturally require more work than others.
|
|
|
|
The fall of civilization occurs when the citizens manage to build a domain which is unsustainably easy to live in.
|
|
|
|
Often, this unsustainable domain is based on resource extraction from other places.
|
|
|
|
In other words: Empire.
|
|
|
|
If they get a taste of this Empire too long, they no longer care about dominance.
|
|
|
|
They no longer care for domain.
|
|
|
|
When the momentum shifts, and the occupied come for revenge, the wise enemies will offer help instead.
|
|
|
|
They offer to help make the citizens comfortable, in exchange for power and money.
|
|
|
|
They make the lives of their oppressor easier.
|
|
|
|
They replace the natives, and take their land.
|
|
|
|
Finally, when they can, they revolt. They destroy the nation.
|
|
|
|
This is what the Germans did to Rome.[^1]
|
|
|
|
This is what the Mexicans are doing to us.
|
|
|
|
So, what do we do?
|
|
|
|
A man needs a domain.
|
|
|
|
A man needs his land.
|
|
|
|
I do not want their help.
|
|
|
|
So, what do we do?
|
|
|
|
When times are good, we experiment.
|
|
|
|
When times are bad, we must return to tradition.
|
|
|
|
This is what we are doing today.
|
|
|
|
We are returning to God and nation:
|
|
|
|
the only loves that can win a war.
|
|
|
|
Nobody fights for Empire.
|
|
|
|
Empire brings pleasure, but not love.
|
|
|
|
That is why it falls.
|
|
|
|
We cannot do this without returning to the land.
|
|
|
|
Our law, race, and traditions are from the North.
|
|
|
|
The North is our home.
|
|
|
|
We must recognize this.
|
|
|
|
This is why Alaska is paramount.
|
|
|
|
Every northern European place is liberal.
|
|
|
|
There is no conservative Northern country.
|
|
|
|
This is the peril we are in: dangerously disconnected from God.
