Much of right-wing thought (e.g. politics, literature, arguments, etc.) is rooted in pessimism. To be more precise, most of modern right-wing thought can be philosophically diagnosed as slave morality. In other words, it’s a reactionary rebellion to the status quo with the acknowledgment that the position is powerless. As the Left has successfully demonstrated, slave morality (within the dynamics of Western Civilization, where the moral high ground swings the pendulum of power) can be revolutionary if its adherents are of the revolutionary personality type (right-wingers typically aren’t). Due to the success the Left has had subverting power via victimhood (i.e., slave morality), the Right has essentially morphed into late-90s liberalism (e.g. “democrats are the real racists who invented the KKK,” “anyone can come in as long as they do it legally,” “happy holidays,” “undocumented migrants,” “diversity is our strength”) as a way of trying to stay politically competitive.
The defining component of slave morality (which I like to call the “hate-me blame game”) is ressentiment, or hostility directed at those deemed oppressive and therefore the source of their frustration. The intent here isn’t to critique the power structure in order to justify who can harness the power of slave morality, rather the intent is to incite self-reflection and pose the following question: Are you a master or a slave?
The antithesis of slave morality is obliviously master morality. The essence of master morality is nobility. Common behavioral traits for those who exhibit master morality are strong will, courage, trustworthiness, high self-esteem, physical and mental health, masculinity, and unconcerned to receive validation for their feelings. They lead by example, and set their own rules. Ultimately, they are the arbitrators of morality and have an innate understanding of right and wrong.
Contrarily, the essence of slave morality is utility. The common traits of people afflicted with slave morality are pessimism, cynicism, physical and mental ill health, femininity, deceptiveness, fearfulness, low self-esteem; perhaps most importantly, they seek validation for their feelings above all else. Their morality is based on their feelings, and they view most things as a malleable social construct. They are followers who have no desires to become masters, but instead want everyone to become a slave.
A simple societal observation reveals the power of slave morality when implemented effectively. The emphasis is placed on “implemented,” as slave morality is an irrelevant mindset in and of itself. However, this mindset becomes relevant once it comes under the perview of social engineers with an agenda. Nonetheless, the path to power has become who can claim to be the biggest slave (victim). Consequently, the Right have become slaves to slave morality.
The refutation to the master/slave morality dichotomy is to reclaim one’s individual will. Liberation of the will isn’t a choice between the binary options of bad or worse; it’s emotional indifference and rejection of anything that isn’t representative of your values. Don’t compromise your integrity. Instead, focus all of your energy on you (and your loved ones) and on being the best version of yourself that you can be. Let the slaves grovel for the title of most oppressed while you influence others by radiating good moral character. And how do you do that?
Be positive: The first thing one must do is to stop being pessimistic and approach life from a positive perspective in all things you do. Leave the whining to the slaves. Become a master of your emotions and thoughts. Wake up every day grateful that you’re alive. Every morning ask yourself how you can be a better person, and enact it. Do a daily good deed. Create a life you can’t wait to wake up to. Never take life for granted, or underestimate how short it is (on the topic of time, the cosmic calendar – the chronological scaling of 13.8 billion years of the universe to a single year – puts modern history at December 31, 11:59:59.
Establish good habits: habits are the driving force behind many of our daily actions. In fact, 40% of what we do is habit. Understanding the rule of habits (cue, routine, reward) and its ability to shape our behavior can have a dramatic impact on our self-improvement. One of the favorable things about the digital age is the amount of information we have at our disposal. There is a plethora of information on the study of habit modification. One of the better books I’ve read recently is a book titled, The Power of Habit. If you’re looking for a book that can be influential in the improvement of your routine, I highly recommend it.
Reject modernity: When liars control the information systems, you’re going to be lied to. Western societies have devolved into a low-trust cesspool of misinformation. Nothing exacerbated this phenomenon more than the Covid pandemic. There is no reason to expose yourself to lies and manipulation. The information systems aren’t just deceptive, they’re explicitly anti-White (they don’t even try to hide it anymore). Why would any White person get their information from a source that hates them? Turn the TV off.
Embrace struggle: One of the main reasons we find ourselves in the situation we are in is the desire for struggle. Throughout all of humanity, the struggle to overcome and survive has been what has defined us. Although we have overcome the struggle to survive, we have not overcome the desire to struggle. We are victims of our own success. White supremacy gave us Western Civilization, which in turn begot the epidemic of problems-of-luxury that have temporarily solved the existential crisis for the slave. Make no mistake about it, slave morality is a byproduct of White supremacy. The “onward and upward” innovative drive of the White consciousness is the conundrum that creates the very chaos it seeks to conquer. Such is the ebb and flow of struggle.
There are several ways in which we can embrace struggle on an individual level that doesn’t result in collective White saviorism (e.g. curing world hunger, climate change, open borders for White nations, etc.). In other words, create your own struggle by making yourself uncomfortable on a daily basis, as opposed to trying to save the planet. This alone will stimulate personal growth. Some of these things are:
- Digital minimalism – minimize or eliminate screen time. Studies have shown that our brains are just not evolved to handle the amount of information we overload it with. The average person spends 5 hours per day staring at a screen. That’s almost half the time you are awake. Not too mention, there are a ton of negative side effects that come with excessive screen time. Long term this might not seem like struggle, but initially digital withdrawal will be tough.
- Cold showers – take a cold shower every morning. This is something I can’t recommend enough. To force yourself to take a cold shower first thing in the morning not only has a lot of health benefits, but it provides a sense of accomplishment to start the day. It’s make your bed everyday with an exhilarating endorphin rush and spike of testosterone.
- Nature resets – implement the 20-5-3 rule for spending time in nature. Nothing gets us closer to our primitive state like spending time in nature. And considering the average American spends 97% of their time inside, this is a no-brainer. The 20-5-3 rule was formulated by Dr Hopman when he studied the neurological changes after people spent multiple days in nature. The 20 is for 20 minutes of green space 3 times per week. This has shown to lower cortisol levels, boost cognition and improve mental health. To ramp up those benefits, you should spend 5 hours in semi-wild nature once a month. And perhaps most importantly, the 3 is the actual nature reset, where one spends 3 days isolated in nature at least once a year. On day 3, studies have shown that brainwaves mimic that of a meditative state and creativity is boosted by as much as 50%.
- Fasting – Until recently, if one word were to be used to describe the human condition, hunger could very well be that word. Nowadays, only about 30% of the time we eat is because of hunger, the rest is from routine, boredom or gluttony. Fasting puts us in touch with the struggles hardwired in our genetic memory. There are several health benefits of fasting, including autophagy (your body recycling damaged cells as food) and the generation of new stem cells. A simple way to incorporate fasting into your daily routine is via intermittent fasting (12-16 hours without food). This would be my recommended method, as 8 of those hours can be spent sleeping. Plus, once the body enters into a state of ketosis (24-48 hours) it can suck pretty bad. Furthermore, starvation isn’t fun. Just putting yourself into a situation in which you are voluntarily struggling with hunger is a sign of mastering self-discipline. It should be noted, that while starvation is most certainly in your DNA, obesity is not. If you’re overweight, you’re not a master, you’re a slave. Eat to live, don’t live to eat.
- Misogi – a misogi is the concept of doing something so hard one day out of the year that the other 364 days seem easy. It can help overcome fear and redefine what’s possible. While anything can technically be a misogi, it should be something that you only have a 50/50 chance of accomplishing. There are only 2 rules for misogi: 1) it has to be really, really hard, 2) you can’t die. Even if you don’t do a misogi, you should always challenge yourself in some way. Always have goals. Eliminate the word “can’t” from your vocabulary. Nothing rewarding in life is going to come easy.
- Avoid escapism – stop numbing your way through life. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling, food or whatever else it is that helps you escape the monotony of life, stop! Force yourself to face the rigors of life head on. Grab life by the proverbial horns and make it your bitch. For many, this alone might be the hardest struggle of all; just living life.
The idea here is to be positive. To present a positive message that can resonate with those who don’t need to be reminded for the thousandth time how bad it is for White people. It’s easy to obsess and become cynical over things that are not in our control. The important thing is to focus on what you do have control over. And what do you have control over? Your actions and behaviors. Keep in mind, you can do anything you want to do. If you don’t like what you’re doing, do something else. If you don’t like your life, change it. Don’t like your neighbors, move. Adopt the mindset that there’s no such thing as problems (or excuses), there’s only solutions.
As White people, our elites have failed us. But so what? You can still wake up everyday and be the best person you can possibly be. That includes having self-respect, dignity, honor, gratitude, humility, impulse control, kindness and accountability. It’s easy to be a slave; anyone can do that. But only the noble can be a master.
