Feudalism, good or bad? | August 7, 2025

In accordance with the humanist axiom that has been laid forth by the liberal ways of modern man in usurpation and union with the serpent, the modern nation-state functions as the final arbiter of human and universal morality, thus the systems of times gone by that were developed by the circumstances of the world in deep time have in this our modern world been completely upended. What once stood as a testament to man's reverence for the sacred and the divine in the form of his hierarchical relation to the material world is no longer and the noblemen of the past are no longer as well, for in the modern world very few men can actually be labeled rightfully noble, for notions such as democracy, egalitarianism, and nationhood have all destroyed the natural order, or rather man's relationship with the natural order and as a result man has turned his back on the natural and the righteous and reduced each man to the individual mass man. What is right is not imminently clear or available to each man, but indeed what is right is informed by the celestial order, and in modern times man is disordered in his relation, or really lack of, to the celestial order and as a result his world is falling apart, but most modern men will blame this on merely material factors that the democratic state run by the revolutionary elite can handle and make better. The circumstance that men are unequal has to be fixed by the ever growing state, even if the state never actually solves the problems at hand; indeed this is the fantastical notion that modern man has convinced himself of. In the past, the feudal lord had earned his rank while the plebeian had earned his station as the man on the land and this was regarded as righteous, for God only can grant men true ascendant rank, but as men became more aware of their lust and the power of imagination, or rather their ability to reconstitute the world, they lost touch with the sacred and the divine; no longer is the vocation man's rightful and necessary place in the world. Only few men truly could earn the rank of nobility, but in the modern world the attempt has not been to encourage more men to seek the light, but rather to drag each man down to level of the lowest common denominator, for this is the essence of equality: the imposition of disease, decay, degeneration, and death on all men. Verily, the beast is also motivated by his jealousy, a bad quality of man that has been exaggerated in modern times and is the source of much frustration and strife between men, which also goes to show why Yahweh has imposed more and more men on the world: humanity surely deserves this punishment for having rebelled against the divine. While the power systems of times gone by had their problems one must admit that they where fundamentally apolitical, or pre-political, in nature, at least as so far as they did not invite the medium of democracy or mass politics; there where surely feuds and drama between men of ascendant rank but these issues where usually worked out between them in a way that did not involve the plebeian multitudes. Verily, the medium of mass politics, democracy, has invited the ever growing awareness of the material circumstances of each man in the world and of the world in general, which has over time served to worsen the situation in the modern world: jealousy, civil strife, conflict, and nuclear war, all of these aspects of the world has worsened as the accelerating train that is the modern liberal democracy has gone into high gear and as the hubris of modern man has become close to boundless.

    I am a post-nationalist and really an anti-nationalist, something that I've covered in the past, but in short: anti-nationalism means to me that I refuse to identify with the concept of a nation, for nationhood reduces all men to equal units when they in fact are not equal, and I simply refuse to identify as an equal unit of any nation. I am also post-nationalistic in the sense that I believe that the concept of the nation-state is going to be overtaken by events in line with the liberal dogma of the humanist axiom, and as such I favor post-political units over constructions such as nation-states, and in my view these post-political units could potentially work as the foundation of the new era to come, but it is also not unlikely that post-political units could be usurped by the serpent and his deviant ways, or indeed this is very likely, and that's why I remain pessimistic. I intend to cover the topic of post-political units as opposed to nation-states in a future post. How does feudalism relate to the concept of post-political units you may ask? Well in my view, feudalism is a system that is far more in line with the natural order, the celestial order, than the ruckus nationalism and patriotism of the modern liberal nation-state, and as such there may be a future beyond the Kali Yuga where the basic units of organized life, civilization, could be in the form of units that are not nationalistic in nature, but rather based on the sacred and the celestial order, units that indeed could be construed to be post-political in the sense that they would not allow for the medium of mass politics. Do note that very few men would actually qualify as noblemen at the dawn of the new era and these men would have to rise and take charge so that they can organize life anew. It could also be the case that man is totally better off without civilization, at least for a certain time period, for man may need to be reminded of the hardships of nature and his status as a low being among being of apex stature, which he is not, but that is also a topic for another time. At any rate, I continue to hold that providence is key.

    What then should be expected in the future, in terms of post-politics? Well, as I've stated I am a determined pessimist when it comes to the prospects of the modern world and the Kali Yuga; as long as we live in the times of the Kali Yuga I would suggest to not expect anything. However, if it is the case that you are a man of ascendant rank at the close of this period, you may consider post-political units. In the meantime, I continue to call for moral purity and I continue as well, to hold that the most advanced and effective form of purity is sexual purity – therefore you must embrace celibacy and sexual abstinence. Apart from that, I would say that feudalism was—compared to our systems today—a far more superior system, but feudalism also laid the foundations for our liberal ways and indeed, feudalism was a part of the Kali Yuga as well. So in the end, I can't say that feudalism was good, it was merely better than the nation-state and our mass political ways, governed and usurped always by the serpent, make no mistake about that. The modern world is just the latest and so far most advanced form of rebellion against the divine, and whether it is the final form the beast takes I don't know, but I can hope that this is the final form of the beast. There is of course always the unsettling possibility that the serpent should come to usurp the concept of post-political units as well, and then the world will truly come to know the face of Yahweh in soon time, but whether this will happen or not I am in no position to answer, since I do not engage with the show-business of making fantastical predictions. Only a fool would be certain about the future.
