Sentimentalism

The populist horde

Wednesday – February 11, 2026

You see little Timmy, or whatever your name may be, you as well as most of your contemporaries have been raised by political instruction, and this has created many generations—particularly since the inception of the nation-state and with it compulsory education—that are completely unable to to think for themselves, the beast in his most advanced form, ready to sacrifice themselves and their station within civilization at any moment for the revolutionary elite, read modern warfare. This is a natural consequence of nationalism, since no two nations can ever truly exist in peace; such are the laws of the illegitimate temporal power without, without the divine right to rule. The lack of true critical thinking is of course by design, because people that are deprived of true knowledge are much easier to control, read democracy. Why should the man of true rank ever allow himself to be impacted by the vain sentimentalism of the populist horde, by the lowest caste, again to borrow from the Hindu caste system, the Śūdra's (शूद्र), and God forbid the Dalit's (दलित)? Well, democracy demands this, but this modern monstrosity of rule by sentimentalism, or really rule by sentimental propagation has its roots in that deviation that I've written about in the past. Think about sentimentalism like this: why do you believe that something is righteous or immoral? Well, more likely than not you do not reflect before rendering judgment over someone or a particular state or situation, and this, again, is because you've been instructed to react in certain ways by the political establishment, currently the bourgeois, who in the Hindu caste system would correspond to the Vaiśya's (वैश्य), which is in keeping with the current manifestation of the materialist order. Yes, this impulse on your part is can not be described in any other way than as a form of sentimentalism, and indeed sentimentalism is at the core of the humanist axiom, and really at the core of any political activity, which is a result of the downwards tendency of the original principles anchored in the great primordial tradition, read Hyperborea.

    I thought that this topic of sentimentalism was important due to certain contingent events that are very much current, but I do not intend to dwell on them for long, other than merely using them as an example of "the propagation of sentimentalism", and of course this tendency is also very much at the core of moral panics, a topic that I've covered here. This incident or current event that I am referring to is of course the ongoing revelation of the so-called "Epstein files", which show that people in power, the revolutionary elite, don't really care themselves about all the fuss they make about such things as "human rights" and "pedophilia": and of course on that note, most people react very strongly to the suggestion of pedophilia, but this is mostly also something that people do by instruction, since no real pedophilia, in the clinical sense of that word, seemingly was involved in this instance, but it also goes to laziness on the part of the populist horde, who would care little of the distinction between pedophilia and in the case of the aforementioned situation Hebephilia; but I will not dwell on the details of these points any longer. What is amusing about this entire situation though, is that politicians care very little about these things, but they are more than happy to use them as a weapon to gain power, and to mention another contingency allow me to remind you of EU's attempt to impose "Chat Control", where again the main argument is based on the hope that the hysteria unleashed by the use of the word pedophilia should cloak any critique against this proposal in indirect and subtle accusations of being arguments in favor pedophilia, but so far this seems to have failed, so far that is. This goes to show how stupid and out of control the vast majority of people are, and how they are more than willing to simply "trust" so-called expertise, but again this should come as no surprise, since most people have been politically instructed to react in this way. Verily, most people lack autonomy, and this is why most people are neither qualified to receive divine instruction nor hold any kind of temporal power, which again goes to show the futility of democracy; really, democracy is as I've already explained quite impossible and actually the word democracy constitutes a metaphysical crime, since this word is an oxymoron, really a true monstrosity of modernity.

    But mass mobilization, which remains a necessary part of modernity, requires that sentimentalism propagates throughout the entire social organism, and indeed this was the main reason why the French Revolution succeeded in the first place and wasn't simply put down; of course, similar situations such as the French Revolution did occur in other times and they were successfully put down, because the bourgeois was unable to mobilize a mob that was able to reach critical mass, since the bourgeois at that time lacked the understanding of the power of sentimentalism, a story for another time. But again, do notice how all of politics, especially political ideologies, are constructed around sentimentality and always a certain emotional deficit if you will: why is socialism so powerful to the lowest caste, and why is capitalism so powerful to the revolutionary elite? These are important questions, but the answer, apart from the material details, is that they rely on the sentimentality naturally evoked form the main assertion of egalitarianism, and therefore what otherwise would be considered a preposterous proposition becomes a moral necessity, and the more of these "moral necessities" that can be achieved in an almost mechanical manner, the more society has moved towards "progress" and "enlightenment"; of course, this is not kind of progress and enlightenment – this is simply chaos and social breakdown. But what else could be expected in a civilization based on sentimentalism? No, this is the sign of our times, for we are living through the final phase of the Kali Yuga; disruption, chaos, and disease will reign supreme until the opening of the new era, and until then humanity will continue downwards until the final liberation, the release from the body itself.

    Lastly, this release, catharsis really, of populist sentimentality will turn against the political order, and in the end the rule of the bourgeois will be brought to and end, and this has already been seen in the Bolshevik uprisings of the previous century, and while they may have failed, so far, they will eventually succeed, just as the bourgeois eventually succeeded in their attempts to take over the reign of the temporal domain, and just as the warrior nobility at one point successfully usurped power, never authority, form the priesthood. Yes, sentimentalism is a scary thing, and finally I direct you to my "Collectivism & Individualism series", where I cover similar issues of "political signaling", which is a less generalized form of the "propagation of sentimentalism", which is also connected to fear.
