“[I]n the traditional world we encounter the interpretation of life as a perennial struggle between metaphysical powers, between Uranian forces of light and order, on the one and, and telluric, dark forces of chaos and matter on the other. Traditional man yearned to fight this battle and to triumph in both the inner and outer worlds. A true and just war on the external plane reproduced in other terms the struggle to be waged within: it was a struggle against forces and people that in the external world presented the same traits as the powers the single individual needed to subjugate and dominate internally, until a pax triumphalis was achieved. From this follows an interdependence between the warrior idea and that of a certain ‘asceticism’, inner discipline, and superiority toward or control over one’s self. . . [T]he warrior idea may not be reduced to materialism, nor is it synonymous with the exaltation of the brutal use of strength and destructive violence. Rather, the calm, conscious, and planned development of the inner being and a code of ethics; love of distance; hierarchy; order; the faculty of subordinating the emotional and individualistic element of one’s self to higher goals and principles, especially in the name of honor and duty - these are all elements of the warrior idea, and they act as the foundations. . . The more original form of hierarchy is defined with essentially spiritual values (the Greek word for hierarchy means “sovereignty of the sacred”, hieros). However, it must be pointed out that in many civilizations even the hierarchies with a spiritual foundation either relied on hierarchies that were more or less warrior or reproduced their form at least externally” -Julius Evola

Struggle, when considered in this light, is not something to be avoided, but embraced, for just as man struggles with dark forces within, so he must inevitably struggle without. This necessitates the presence and action of the warrior element, which must subjugate the inferior and wage war against chaos, disorder, and their myriad manifestations. The warrior element thus becomes an instrument of the sacred, which must pervade every aspect of civilization. Such a civilization may then truly become a bastion of order, repelling malefic forces and maintaining the link to the divine. In the modern world this element, along with almost all influence from above, is lacking. The warrior element, when it is not entirely opposed, is at best connected with the mercenaries in the service of the bourgeois or plebeian castes. The superior is thus made subject to the inferior as it were dependent upon it, but this is reversal of justice. It is the inferior which needs the superior, never the inverse.

Furthermore, these mercenaries are not warriors except for in exceptional circumstances. As with most modern men, they do not know themselves, but are swayed by vague and empty ideals associated with their nations or else a confused desire to be what they are not. True warriors are so by blood, and it is this chrism which protects them from succumbing to the enemy within as lesser men are bound to do. What is needed, therefore, is the reaffirmation of superior principles, and the subjugation of inferior elements by a restored warrior nobility. It is only this nobility which can face the terrors of war as well as bring law and order to those under their dominion. All else amounts to injustice, which can never bring lasting peace or prosperity.

“Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war. My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.” -Psalm 143:1-2

The surge in transgenderism and the malleability of gender is noticeable to us conservative normies as an infringement against the natural order because it is—to them—a relatively recent phenomenon. It is an obvious form of instilling disorder and chaos because it disrupts the foundational nature upon which a person bases his or her reality. Your gender is inherently a part of who you are. You ARE a man, or you ARE a woman. Casting doubt on such a basic truth significantly debilitates a person’s ability to perceive reality when they cannot safely do as little as understand a blatant, obvious component of his identity.

The same is true for race. Race is a biological characteristic that a person cannot change, and it is a element of his identity. A man IS white, or Asian, or whatever. The enemy pushes racial admixture to destroy whites, but it is a much deeper form of disorder than genocide. Attempting to racially mix people into an amorphous mass of nothingness disrupts a characteristic that is meant to allow people to not only identify themselves but also distinguish among one another.

Humans are limited in their ability to actively care and provide for others. Biological distinctions allow us to understand on whom we should expend what level of attention. Our families are the most similar to us, so we easily recognize their relative importance. Race is meant to allow us to perceive a broader sense of familial bond that directs our attention beyond our immediate relatives.

Without such distinctions, people would have a reduced ability to differentiate among peoples and correspondingly decide how to expend their effort. In the absence of such distinctions, I would guess that people would spread themselves so thin among others that their thousands of cursory interactions would have no impact on anyone.

A somewhat analogous version of this has already occurred with regard to the replacement of hobby with entertainment. Formerly, people could use deep investment in productive hobbies like woodworking, crafting, etc. Those hobbies require genuine understanding and development, and hobbyists can relate to one another to a greater degree than they may relate to people not engaged in that hobby. Now, millions of people “participate” in fandoms of shows and movies that require no effort to consume. Consequently, people end up relating to millions of others on an insignificant level, and their interactions consist of nothing more than likes and comments on social media regarding a certain character or plot point.

Our distinctions exist for a reason.

We've watched a social circle form within dissident right for the last 4 or 5 years, clearly inspired from old reactionary and proto-conservative literature fused with Machiavellianism, grope desperately to try and found areal movement in real life. Their leadership consists of a bunch of content creators, two of which our leadership knew of since 2016. As a whole, they seem more honest and sober than most other content creator communities, including (and much to the faithful's scandal) our familiar traditional Catholic grifters. Despite vain origins, these dissidents have organized meetups, exercised impressive doctrinal tolerance to maximize their in-group preference, and they've made several online and real-life, industry-specific nonprofits already. They might be hitting a bit of a wall when grafting their clearly minority [and in our traditionalist opinion, clearly ill-founded philosophical] worldview into the real world because, unlike us, they don't have any pre-existing infrastructure on the ground; nor is the American populace well acquainted with their approaches, and the same fortunately can't be said for the Church. They really are the definition of atomized individuals pushing into the darkness.

But what's most frustrating part is these dissidents understand the need to tangibly organize more intimately than traditionalists. They're clearly demonstrating how to behave as a common good better than we are, they demonstrate the materialistic imitation of something like our visible church at a time when traditionalists seem not to. It can be frustrating sometimes. What makes the dissidents so motivated to action? Are they closer in ideation to the enemy? Is the lack of a public god to draw their eyes up force their treasures into pure earthly affairs?

And here are many traditional Catholics new to the Faith, glaring like entranced Narcissus gazing into la nouvelle politique, exotic and exciting, foreign intellectual imports, as if they're relevant for as much, wasting time talking up dead tyrants, kings, or literally any other morally bankrupt footnote in history. The neophytes think "revolt against the Modern world" or "become ungovernable" are actually traditionalist mantras. The neophytes think, like naïve children, that anything against the enemy of progressive politics must be with us. The neophytes make amuck of our own religion by consistently pathologizing subpar political ideology as being inherently Catholic, neglecting their own untried footnotes on Catholic Action. And finally, the neophytes try to teach as master, here for their talk and willing to do nothing else.

We know you sympathize with us how frustrating this is. Talk about sins against your duty of state - talk about the devil attacking you most where you ought to be making meaningful progress! Tradition is turned into a conduit for cheap edgy humor on the internet, rather than using the internet for gainful networking with fellow brothers and sisters. We feel like there's an arms race to prove who's more dedicated to what they believe in. Infidels are after our aspirations better than many of us have been. Yes, that's right: the Baby Boomers and Gen X'ers set up most of the Latin Mass chapels we see today. What have you actually done, new generations? Will you join us?

To do nothing but sit and muse upon the past and what had been, resuscitating dead ideology and pretending old grandeur to substitute modernity's shortcomings, this is the mark of death. We cannot prioritize what we thought ought to have happened in the past. What it not God's will to have passed the way it did, after all? We're alive now. What about your children? We're called to convert the World and our generation for Christ here and now. If it didn't work 80 years ago or 240 years ago, it's of little account today.

The Social Kingship of Christ

•The social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a necessity

"So long as Christ does not reign over nations, His influence over individuals remains superficial and precarious.

If it is true that the work of the apostolate consists in the conversion of individual and that nations as such do not go to Heaven, but souls, one by one, were must not forget, nevertheless, that the individual member of society lives under the never-ceasing influence of his environment, in which, if we may not say that he is submerged, he is, at least, deeply plunged. If the environment is non-Catholic, it prevents him from embracing the Faith, or if he has the Faith , it tends to root out of his heart every vestige of belief.

If we imagine Catholic social institutions, with Our Lord no longer living in the hearts of the individual members of society, then religion has there become a displeasing signboard which will soon be torn down. But on the other hand, try to convert individuals without Catholicising the social institutions and your work is without stability. The structure you erect in the morning will be worn down by others on the evening. Is not the strategy of the enemies of God there to teach us a lesson?

They want to destroy the Faith in the hearts of individuals, it is true, but they direct still more vigorous efforts to the elimination of religion from social institutions. Even one defeat of God in this domain means the weakening, of not the ruin, of the Faith in the souls of many."

"We will not change the essence of things ; Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the whole social order. Without him, everything collapses, everything becomes divided and perishes."

"If Jesus Christ does not reign through the blessings inseparable from his presence, he will reign through the damages unavoidably caused by his absence."

“It would be a grave error to say that Christ has no authority whatever in civil affairs, since all things are in his power.”.."..not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.”

"Jesus Christ has been constituted king, and the true dignity, the true liberty, the true emancipation of modern nations is to have the right to be governed in a Christian manner. Would per chance the nations have been falling from their glory ? Would their fate have been less noble, less happy since the scepters to which they obey are bound to submit to the scepter of Jesus ?"

"Let us repeat it, my brethren : Christianity does not reach its full development, its full maturity, where it does not take on a social character. Such is what Bossuet expressed in this way : "Christ does not reign if his Church is not mistress, if the peoples cease to pay to Jesus Christ, to his doctrine, to his law, a national homage." When the Christianity of a country is reduced to the bare proportions of the domestic life, when Christianity is no longer the soul of public life, of public power, of public institutions, then Jesus Christ deals with this country in the manner he is there dealt with. He continues to give his grace and his blessings to the individuals who serve him, but he abandons the institutions, the powers which do not serve him ; and the institutions, the kings, the nations become like shifting sand in the desert, they fall away like the autumn leaves which are gone with the wind."

"As long as the Prince is not won over to the truth, the apostolate may multiply its individual conquests ; but it does not gain its final victory. With Constantine, the whole world, I mean the known and civilized world, becomes Christian without delay. The baptism of Clovis brings about that of the whole Frankish people… The peoples entered the Church en masse only when they followed their princes."

"Perfect agreement between the priesthood and the empire is the common law and the normal state of Christian societies."

Louis Cardinal Pie, 1815-1880
