Collectivism & Individualism, part seven

Monday – December 29, 2025

As I've covered in this series "Collectivism & Individualism", there are certain boundaries that define the multitude and always growing political groups in the modern world. Yes, modern men like to talk a great deal about the fantastic nature of multiculturalism, but they never admit that the only thing this ideology has brought forth is more and more imposed awareness about the need to create social boundaries and political objects out of more and more people. Of course, in the past people lived far more simpler lives and they just weren't aware of all of these modern social labels and signals that one is supposed to respect and understand to be considered an upright citizen and really to be allowed into "polite society". But boundaries are important and I can always sense the tension between those who always seek to expand the collective to encompass ever larger bodies of people and those who slightly resist this liberal temptation. Of course, the idea that everyone must and should be included, conscripted really, into this messianic struggle to save humanity from its own nature is really the defining feature of modern times: universalism. If everyone aren't included and if everyone can't make a certain material claim against the collective, it's not good enough and has to be expanded always outward, and again this is because liberalism is an ideology that essentially claims dominion not only over a certain and particular people, shaped by deep time, but over all of mankind, because the liberal man makes one fundamental claim that asserts his right to rule over the world: (egalitarianism) every human is essentially the same and therefore all of these political constructions called rights apply equally to all men under the Sun, and even to those men that will resist this imperial and western encroachment upon their traditional way of life. Of course this worldview has within it many contradictions and the most apparent contradiction is of course the fact that as the Imperial Core continues to expand outward into the world people are forced to be made aware of this thing called identity, and not because they've asked for this but because this has been imposed on them. But what is identity? Identity is basically an expression of rampant individualism, because when an imperial society imposes multiculturalism and individualism it becomes a necessity for people to ground themselves somehow in the world, and the best way for people to do this is basically to start to define themselves, their individuality, against the rest of the world, something that can only be described as a very recent and modern phenomena and the notion of nation-states really played a part in this to, because the nation-state, or the concept thereof, really imposed the first identity on people and made them aware of something greater in this the material domain, when in the past people were anchored in the world only with their creator. Indeed, what is one of these material identities really worth in the face of God? Nothing, but they are worth a lot for the revolutionary elites, because they enable men to not only embrace the beastly form but they enable men to begin that journey towards the bottom, towards the most primitive and animalistic, towards the populist horde. You see, in order to command otherwise free men in good standing with God, you have to convince them that they are no better than beasts, and here is really the part where collectivism confluence or intersects with individualism: what really is collectivism, the inward form of the material order, without individualism, the outward form of the material order? You see, these things do not contradict each other; they are very much part of the same thing – modernity.

    How do boundaries play into this then, to start to actually address the heading? Well, once you make men aware of their identity two things happen: one you make it clear to them what is to be expected of them and how they're supposed to coordinate, this is basically making them aware of political object that you impose on them or within them; and two, once this politicization of men have become widespread they will start to define themselves by these clear and easy to follow boundaries. Yes, boundaries are important but not in and of themselves; these political boundaries only serve to uphold the material order. What I'm trying to convey in this post is this: whatever you may think of your own political object, about the multitude of identities that you assume on a daily basis, know that they exist in the material world and for material purposes only and never forget when you study history how transient these uniforms really are. Indeed, your boundaries and your identities really do follow the tide of the material order; they are however not anchored within the moral boundaries of the universe and they do not serve to balance the scales of the celestial order.

    Multiculturalism is on the other hand very much a self-contradiction, because these same so-called "rational" men guided by humanism do claim on one hand that every human being essentially constitute the same thing, the sacred individual, and while on the other hand defining each human being on the basis of group membership, really on the basis of what political object they appear as. Really, how could multiculturalism even be possible if all men are essentially the same? Yes, all men, at least all beasts, are the same, but only insofar as they serve the material order, anything beyond that is always negotiable and transient or should I perhaps use the more modern and politically correct word fluid.

    Yes, boundaries do serve many essential purposes in the universe, and indeed without boundaries, particularly in the material domain, there would be no such thing as meaning and every form would take on an unknowable state, a mystical superposition, really everything would become nonsense creatures, but these boundaries are shaped by deep time, they truly belong to the world; this does not apply to politically convenient constructions made to enslave men. Again, take all this as a sign of our times – the Kali Yuga.
