Why am I against rearmament?
Friday – October 31, 2025

I realize that my post "On disarmament" the other day may come across as a little bit confusing and perhaps contradictory, because I realize that I make two seemingly contradictory arguments: at one hand I argue that you have the right and indeed the duty to defend yourself and on the other hand I argue that you have no such duty or right when it comes to the nation. Let me make this clear: you have the right and the duty to defend yourself and all those small and earthly values such as family and even community when you and/or your family and community gets attacked with force but the problem with modern warfare is that you are fighting to not only protect the status quo but also the revolutionary elite: indeed you are not fighting for the protection of yourself and your community, only the elect would do that as I've covered in my section about the warrior class of times gone by, you are fighting to protect the serpent. Yes, one nation-state could have material aspects, laws and other policies, that are more detrimental to your material circumstances but they are not more likely to oppress you since you're already living under oppression. How could any self-respecting man fight to protect his jailers? Besides, not every man should and can be a soldier. Only very few men that in the past used to belong to the warrior class could and should fight to protect honor, family, and community. What is this so-called army of plebeians supposed to do in the face of a real and superior army? No, very few men should perform the role and function of a soldier, but of course modern man don't care about this because for them the only thing that matters is great quantities and large numbers: a modern war is supposedly won with a great army consisting of very vast numbers of combatants, but as history can and has shown, a professional army will almost always defeat a democratic army, even when greatly outnumbered such as 1:4 in WWI, consisting of men who are essentially kidnapped, which itself should and is considered a crime but in that situation the humanist axiom apparently does not apply. Some people will even argue that war is great for the economy, but for what economy? If half of your population is decimated on a regular basis how can the economy do good? Of course, when the economy has been mobilized into war-production there can be some economic growth to be expected but after the war, that economy will likely come crashing down, even if your side is victorious. War is ruinous and that's all. I urge you, if you find yourself in a war, to become a refugee and seek out the light, become a pilgrim and move where the light guides you. See, international borders are nothing but imaginary constructions that don't mean anything. The creator doesn't recognize borders and you have the sacred right to move across any territory you wish to move across, especially in light of the fact that you are a seeker of the light and the profound insight. Why should you die for the corruption of the modern world? No, instead I call on you to fight for the light and that could take place in the form of radical peace. History didn't happen over one night, but it stands clear to reason that the entire concept of modern warfare is not only insane but the very definition of corruption and the revolutionary elites will always make sure that the plebeian hordes will fight their wars. Also, since I believe that Asia and Africa are the best future destinations you could always consider going over there, but that is a topic for another time. In the end, war is not good and if you hear people making the claim that there is such a thing as a "righteous war", then know that they seek to manipulate you into the willing chaos. What war was ever good? Another problem is of course that since modern men have lost the connection with the creator, there is no moral baseline to be expected anymore, which is also something that is very unsettling about the modern world: in a matter of moments the entire world can and will lay in ruins.

    I can understand and even respect other views, but for me the pacific route and outlook is the only way forward, you can also read about that here. I want to also admit that a lot of people will use your resistance to war against you: these people will likely refer to you as homosexual, which doesn't make sense. How is it homosexual/gay to resist war when the gayest thing I can think of is warfare? Why? Well, because armies consist of a bunch of sweaty dudes that have to live with each other, the least natural thing I can think of and certainly gay. Also, there's something profoundly gay about men who love to use a uniform, especially a tight uniform, but then again the western world is very homoerotic full stop.

    So, why am I against rearmament? Well, because of all of these reasons and more and I just don't have time to cover all the reasons, but do read my previous posts about warfare and why I am against it.
