The Police |
Thursday – February 12, 2026

Who are the police? Well, that's an easy question to answer: the police are the people that the law of the land has delegated the lowest but most expressed form of temporal power to. But I thought that I should be digging just a little bit deeper here: I mean, why would any man in his right mind want to become a police officer? Most men, in my view, that choose this line of work are basically people who like to hold power, immediate and rudimentary power. See, the reason why I describe the powers immanent to the police as rudimentary and immediate is because this is the lowest form of power, from the point of view of metaphysics; of course, the highest point of power is no such thing, because power is deals only with the physical world and therefore belongs entirely to the temporal domain. However, power is correlated with authority, spiritual authority, and whence this form of power is, traditionally, derived from that spiritual authority, and because the police are dealing with the immediate they exist only on the lowest level of the metaphysical order of things; essentially, the police used to be a title only given to men of very low status within the court, and often most "police", or the traditional correspondence to the police, existed, again to borrow from the Hindu caste system, of men from the Vaiśya's (वैश्य), and not from the the Kṣatriya's (क्षत्रिय), the warrior caste; and from this point of view one could assert quite confidently that the police, or the royal guards, traditionally, had some, though low it may have been, connection to the source, the primordial tradition. This meant that the Royal Guards had one role and one role only, to ensure the immediate order of the realm, but this power was again only extended to them, and if the Kṣatriya's had so wished, they alone were powerful enough to put the realm into proper order, because they belonged to a domain that in its essence consisted of men of more skillful aptitudes in the temporal domain; this means that men of the Kṣatriya caste in their manifestation had more suitable characteristics that could deal with power effectively, but this was not necessary in all domains, so they extended authority to men of a lower caste, an authority that could be revoked.

    That's the historiography of the police, but the profane "version", if you will, of the police is a complete monstrosity compared to the Royal Guards of the past, and this is primarily due to the composition of the police force; in most regards, similarly to the "national" armed forces, there's an imposed mix and mingle of the castes within the police force, in the name of egalitarianism of course, and apart from that the police force derives its power not from the King—who in turn derives his power from the "Mandate of Heaven"—the police derive their power from profane and "secular" law, which is the reason for its dysfunction, but that's a point for another time. Essentially, this means that the police is an armed gang ready to impose the disordered cause of the modern world at any time, and notice that in particular the police tends to target people who can be labelled dissidents, that is to say people who object to the monstrosity of the state. The motivation then behind wanting to become a police officer, to answer the one of the initial questions, must be that of a bully, often because this person, the individual police officer, was bullied himself, and not too seldom because the state bullied him, but maybe more frequently because he was bullied by his father; I am no "psychoanalyst", not that I believe in the efficacy of such enterprise anyways, but I do believe that I am free to make some obvious inferences here, and if I am wrong, touché, but if the police is wrong, then life's are at risk, again something that goes to prove that this talk about "human rights" by the proponents of the humanist axiom is really nothing but absolute nonsense.

    What then, if any, is the proper role of the police? Well, as I alluded to earlier: the police have a proper function, but only in a proper and traditional society, or a normal society, if you will, and that function is to deal with the ugly and tedious part of immediate power, or physical force, because power derives from authority, which is the state of complete potential, whereas power is the state of some potential being executed or directed in a certain manner within the temporal domain, and the further you allow power to reach the bottom, the closer to the immediate and physical you get – this is the function of the Royal Guards. Sure, nobody ever claimed that this function was particularly "attractive", at least not from an aesthetic point of view, but such a function was nonetheless necessary in order to create order and thus peace throughout the realm, and this order and peace was the manifest reason for the "Mandate of Heaven", a mandate that indeed could be revoked, always resulting on social breakdown and chaos, something that should be all too familiar to modern men, at least those who are not dementedly aloof to the real character of the universe, those men with potential. Of course, this last point should highlight how a police force that consists of men of varying aptitude and ability is quite impossible, and this is certainly why the police force in most modern states exist as a kind of civil servant, a truly modern monstrosity. Of course, this "evolution" of the vocation is nothing inherent to the police force only, but it seems quite acute in this regard, and the same can also be said about modern soldiers, who should be considered the most advanced expression of the beast, something you may read more about here. Verily, there is something beastly about the police, both metaphysically and materially, and while I do want to continue to refrain from engaging in a political discourse, it must be stated that the same "phenomena", to use a naturalistic term, of a kind of "regression towards the means", a tendency towards mediocrity, can be observed within the police force, which means that the police force similarly to Democracy is an expression of the inversion of the metaphysical order; indeed, the police isn't constituted in such a way that the most capable and well suited elements of society is to be found within its ranks, but instead you consistently find the least capable elements within its ranks, similarly again to both Democracy and that monstrosity of compulsorily conscripted armies. Therefore, it can be stated, without much room for hesitation, that the main object of the police force is not to create order in the most immediate sense, but rather to create disorder, or really to promote disorder within the societal organization. Besides, a force that operates in defense of the indefensible, in this case profane law, cannot be characterized as anything other than a force for and by chaos; the police force is really a disordered unity of convenience, something quite in keeping though, with the material order.
