Forwarded from Exiles of the Golden Age
We invite you to participate in the first annual Exiles of the Golden Age conference, a cultural event featuring international and local speakers which aims to introduce both new and mostly forgotten ideas and perspectives to an audience struggling with modernity.
Our keynote speaker this year is Tom Rowsell, a British historian and content creator best known for his YouTube channel, Survive the Jive, which deals with Indo-European history, spirituality and genetics. Other speakers will touch on a wide variety of subjects, from Western philosophy to spirituality, but the motivation of all those who speak and attend this conference will be the same: to find our way, through a dark and broken world, to a new Golden Age.
The conference will take place on Saturday, August 17th in the Lower Mainland (BC, Canada, specific location TBA). Space for this event will be limited.

"Liberalism comes from the Roman god Liber and means debauchery" is a take that has been circulating in the radical right for a few weeks now. It's one of those things that sounds right but it's etymologically inaccurate.
https://x.com/keithwoodsyt/status/1807157023588434238?s=46
Really, the truth is much more sinister.
Latin libertas is indeed related to the Roman god Liber, who is the god of growth and vegetation. It's also related to the Latin word for "children" (liberi), the German and Old Slavic words for people (Leute, ljudu), the Gothic and Sanskrit words for "grow" (liudan, rudh-), and others. Libertas, ancient Roman "liberty", draws on the common theme between vegetation, growth, and folkhood; it is a metaphor to describe a common stock or breed. This is the ORIGINAL sense, which can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-Europeans. For an archaic Roman, to be "free" meant PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE of what it later came to mean. It did not mean "do what you feel like", to be "free" meant rather to be bound and circumscribed by one's group membership. To be free meant precisely to be constrained. It meant to be part of a folkhood.
Later in Roman history, we get structural conflict that set the underclasses against the patriciate class. The term libertas (meaning essentially, "our guy") was repurposed to mean its exact opposite. Now it meant "unconstrained", "free" as we now know it (something similar happened with the Germanic term free). It is important to understand that this is a late and illegitimate inversion of the term, much in the same way "gay" now no longer means "happy", but something ugly. In the modern age, revolutionary liberals attempted to give their anti-traditionalism some ancient precedent and seized upon the term libertas, not knowing any of this.
There are some important takeaways here:
1) Whenever you see a term's meaning completely inverted, you can infer revolution. This is an incredibly useful rule of thumb.
2) The whole "we wuz ancient liberals" thing is based on historical illiteracy. There was never a time where freedom (as we know it today) was prized by Europeans, except when their civilizations were falling apart.
3) The original sense of "freedom" is folkhood. You are only free in that you are part of a tribe, and this sense of freedom means the opposite of what that word means today. To be a free man means to belong to a group, to be unable to leave it, to be bound by its laws and customs, and to see the outsider as the opposite of the liberi—which is the servus, or slave.

NEW Art Prints: JOYCE, POUND, and YEATS
Renowned British artist Alexander Adams has produced a fifth series of linocuts exclusive to Imperium Press. Prints are available of JAMES JOYCE, EZRA POUND, and W. B. YEATS.
Each print is extremely limited. The source matrix produces near identical copies (proofs) by a master printmaker using specialist tools and presses, which are then numbered and signed by the artist. The source matrix is then destroyed, which means no more proofs can be produced. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Since the time of Plato and Aristotle, polytheism has been on the back foot both against universal monotheisms, and then liberalism. Now with the development of folkishness, a new form of apologetics has arisen, and it destroys both universalism and liberalism. This article summarizes the new pagan apologetics.
But why can’t classical theology defend folkishness? The short answer is because it does not know what religion fundamentally is. And this is the kernel of why our approach works—nor do our universalist opponents.

Thrownness.
We as a generation of fathers now have the ability to relate to our children far better than the previous generations.
I loved my grandfathers but they didn’t quite understand my interests growing up.
My paternal grandfather was an engineer by trade and a polymath. So he was curious about videogames and found my music intriguing because of its speed and complexity. But he couldn’t relate to it. He was a stoic observer.
My maternal grandfather was very art minded and was a hobbyist aestheticist. He painted, sculpted and read fiction. So he’d thumb through my comic books and watch movies with me. He tried to get it and generally enjoyed it but he was like a foreigner trying to converse with only rudimentary vocabulary.
I, on the other hand, will be able to completely relate to my kids and grandkids. The things that developed in my time growing up are still around. I can level with them and engage in their favorite things.
All of the best artforms and pastimes have foreverness. Films, games and stories that remain meaningful throughout your life. This parallels to the storytelling traditions of the ancient world.
The Neverending Story, Ninja Turtles and Fire and Ice communicate things that are excellent for kids and become sophisticated virtues to ponder on as adults. They grow with us. Much like the folktales and epics of old.
We exist in a brief time where advancement has slowed enough for sons to have commonality with their fathers once again.
WW2 gen, boomers and gen X didn’t get to have that relatability.
We know all the slang, all the tricks and all the dangers. We’re going to be a generation of parents who aren’t naive about the new world around us.
Our thrownness awards us this gift of being more like our ancestors who didn’t experience rapid technological and social changes.
There’s absolutely no reason to reject it outside of cart-before-horse niche idealism trying to cook the hottest reactionary take on the internet.
My nana used to say “count your blessings”. And I think it’s time we count our blessings as who we are today instead of trying to dig out yet another layer of self-hate and identity crisis.

This is quite an interesting point. Cultural stagnation has brought with it obvious ills, but also some silver linings. No major new genres or artistic movements for 20 years means that a whole generation is now steeped in the aesthetic of its fathers—and that does not look set to change any time soon. This could have radical implications.

UK election results coming in and they mark a radical shift. UK has a first past the post system so zero seats was never a literal possibility. But this is a massive collapse in support for the Conservatives and that has some serious implications.
As we pointed out years ago, the centre-right is a rudder that stabilizes the system. Conservatism provides inertial force holding back real change. It consolidates the victories of the left, and sanctions them with the stamp of "tradition". Conservatism also acts as a scapegoat to be blamed for the ills of liberalism, which can only be cured by moving further to the left.
As conservatism goes, so goes liberalism. The collapse of the Conservative party is the collapse of this stabilizing force.
Normal British people will see this as a move to the left. In reality, it is a hard rightward shift in British politics necessitated by the incompetence of the left, and the continued rise of the far right. The Conservative party is a political NPC with no will or force of its own. It is essentially a mask for the left. Now that the mask is falling apart, the real political force has had to move sharply to the right—Labour is trying to purge its radical wing (though this will probably fail). Labour has moved to the right because it has been forced to.
If UK politics results in too much Labour hegemony, it will become impossible to conceal the one-party state nature of UK politics, and this will undermine democracy. At that point radical politics will truly begin. Labour must walk a fine line between placating its radical power base and breaking democracy in the eyes of every British person.
What looks like a win for the left to many, is really a profound crisis.

How to Destroy Universalism
Pagan Apologetics That Really Works
Happy 4th of July to our American friends.
We're not much for the Enlightenment around here, but the American Revolution is about more than that. It marked a great ethnogenesis, the birth of a power to rival and surpass even Rome. Above all, America is a people that are not ashamed of greatness and heroism.
To that end, tomorrow we will have something for you all.

NEW BOOK — Carlyle's "On Heroes" (Annotated)
https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/on-heroes-the-annotated-carlyle/
On Heroes is Carlyle’s most striking and influential work, the key statement of Great Man history. In some of the most dazzling English prose since Shakespeare, Carlyle shows how the hero appears as god, prophet, poet, priest, writer, and king, with vivid sketches of such great men as Muhammed, Luther, Napoleon, and others.
Thomas Carlyle was one of the greatest writers in the English language and a titanic figure of the Victorian age. In the Annotated Carlyle Series, the editors of Imperium Press present his major works with extensive commentary. Now, every word of his kaleidoscopic writing, all his obscure allusions and Carlylisms, are accessible even to the lay reader with comprehensive annotations.

Friends and followers, I'm excited to present to you The New Nationalism Podcast. It has been months in the making, and I think it will be unlike anything you've heard from the Nationalist Right. This is not your ordinary podcast. This is more like an episodic series of conversations and stories, each one focused on a theme, presented as an intellectual journey. It's a back-to-basics, Nationalism 101 course that has been made with the ''normie'' in mind. What would it be like if there were a single destination where a newborn nationalist could find answers to all his doubts and questions? More importantly, this project presents a truly nationalist vision for the future, from the minds of some of our movement's most esteemed and passionate voices.
