"The self is that which stays constant across transformations."
Tradition is that which stays constant across revolutions.
The West is nearly at the point of violent revolution, it seems we are bound to participate in the slow, bloody revolving of The Wheel of Time.
Revolutions have all their own tenor and flavor but they are essentially the same, always accompanied by bloodshed.
This time, it will be a White vs Red Revolution, where those of tradition and virtue will revolt against the tyranny of modernism and materialism.
The first skirmishes have already begun.
All throughout Europe an invasion is taking place, and the center is being hollowed out. No longer will The Centrist, the atheist, have a place of power.
No longer the reasonable coward will hold sway.
Even now the wild-eyed Fanatics and Savages and Barbarians are encroaching and it will only be so much longer before Europe rises, flint faced, and pushes back against the tyranny of pathological altruism.
Or else not.
The time of arguments has not entirely passed. Like all revolutions it is being preceded by a dialogue, until such a time as words no longer had any meaning. Like all revolutions either the "Word" (logos) triumphs or their is silence. To speak freely is the last revolutionary act before the cataclysm.
There may yet be hope to avoid catastrophe. This time we have the ability to see and hear and know far beyond that which our forefathers did. That we can communicate and deconstruct lies in real time is not insignificant.
While we wait, train, prepare, arm yourselves and your son's and be ready.
