The Liberal Messiah |
Saturday – December 27, 2025

In my note on western intervention, I made it clear why I am profoundly opposed to western colonial wars of aggression and imposition around the world, and if you're interested in understanding my point of view in more detail then you should read that note. As I've also covered on multiple occasions, modern and liberal men tend to take a messianic approach to the world and to their own worldview: the humanist axiom. I like to refer to this phenomena as "The Liberal Messiah" and indeed this is fitting because if there's anything that this crude and animalistic approach to the world focuses on it's the oppression of individual rights but only to the extent that this rather narrow focus benefits the revolutionary elite, because indeed they, the revolutionary elite, has one important mission, namely to impose themselves and their system, the material order, on the entire world, and this is why liberalism claims dominion over all men and all women and why you, if you're a subject of the imperial core, has to constantly focus on the so-called oppression of people in far away and remote corners of the world such as Afghanistan, a country that very much has opposed the tides of our times, the Kali Yuga. As I also covered in my posts about modern warfare and the material object and applications of modern warfare, it's clear that you, the individual subject of the imperial core, will very much be oppressed in this humanist and messianic fervor to "liberate" the women of Afghanistan or other so-called oppressed people. You are essentially a soldier for the material order, this duty comes with your citizenship, which for the most part comes with your mother milk; you are born a subject of these people, the revolutionary elite, and you have no real and meaningful freedom to liberate yourself from this serfdom, unless you are able to retire from the material world. Why should you have any say over what happens in Afghanistan? Well, you don't but you do have the expectation to function as a warrior, often in the name of egalitarianism but also because you don't have another choice. It seems that it's a central feature of the modern nation-state that every citizen should also be expected to fight on behalf of this material construction, and when they do exhibit patriotism and a sense of duty this can only occur within defined limits, read multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism. So you're not only expected to be an obedient soldier and and obedient citizen, you are expected to act on behalf of the most ideological and fanatical elements of modern society, and with all your power and life you are to defend this material civilization. Again, why are the Taliban evil? Because you've been taught that they are evil and because you've been taught to hate their kind and their customs because they do not properly align with the materialist order. How fantastical and absurd it should be that every man should be expected to be a warrior! Well, these liberal and modern men are no warriors; they are only serfs, serfs for the materialist order, because there are no real warriors within the imperial core, or they are exceedingly few.

    Ask yourself this: are you fanatical, or messianic in your approach, even to liberalism? See, even if you are a believer in the humanist axiom, this kind of belief that is predicated upon fanaticism and an almost mystical devotion to the material and to the transient— because modern civilizations are transient, something you may read more about in my "Future series". This is no real devotion because it's void of real insight and a real traditional ground, and that is really what makes modern men far more fanatical than any men that came before them, because indeed in modern times men are free to actually live out their fantasies, when in the past this was not possible. The material order has grown so vast and so entrenched that it has become quite possible to live only in the material world, without any real contact with nature and without nature's creator. Real knowledge requires skill, skillful means, and if there's anything in modern times that is lacking it is this insight, and without a skillful understanding about the world and about the application to the material problems men face you end up with rampant idolatry and really cannibalism, which is the end goal of the material order.

    If you do not seek to uphold the delusions of modern men and if you seek actual liberation and enlightenment then your only option is indeed to retire from the world, but this doesn't need to happen right away. At first the insight that the world is on a certain trajectory and that we are living in the dark ages, the Kali Yuga, is the first step towards realization of the true metaphysical nature of the world. You are never going to outrun, outsmart, or out compete the material order: within the material domain you will consistently lose against these forces and in the end you will turn to the serpent. No, you have to look inwards and towards the light that still shines, even though it may be very dark outside. I also want to end with this: I don't believe that any political units are going to oppose the tidal wave of our time, and indeed I regard political organization to be a sign of disease anyways; this is why I encourage you to avoid politics.
