I have just re-read ‘The Red Giant’, also linked in my post yesterday, after years of not reading it and I am surprised about the level of my naïveté ten years ago.
I have complained that white nationalists largely ignore this site. But a quick window to my own past, such as my discussion with the conservative Swede, reveals that not long ago I myself still defended some Christian tenets and the United States!
Exactly ten years ago my thinking was relatively similar to the thinking of an American conservative gradually leaning toward someone like, say, Jared Taylor. It is incredible how I have changed in a decade.
In addition to that thread where the Swede discussed with me in 2009, in the following months and years I would discover TOQ Online directed by Greg Johnson (Johnson and Irmin Vinson helped me to revalue Hitler), Occidental Dissent, William Pierce, Kevin MacDonald and finally Evropa Soberana. Presently I believe that Soberana’s POV provides the meta-perspective that the pro-white movement badly needs.
The metamorphosis from my former self who still had some kind words about the Church is now complete, especially after Richard Carrier convinced me that Jesus did not even exist.
The mystery of why the alt-right ignores me* has been solved. These guys are in the stage I was a decade ago!

One reply on “The ‘Red Giant’ revisited”
You don’t get links because you don’t do quick catchy hot takes on current events. You also don’t offer anything that can be immediately acted on; but rather advice and models for changing the overall way of thinking, which is necessary in the long run but not clear in the short term.
In rereading Red Giant I noticed this line
Gates of Vienna had a piece on Fjordman sometime within the past year (I don’t remember exactly when I saw it) where they noted that Fjordman has not been able to get any stable job since the Breivik shootings. Reading between the lines I get the impression Fjordman has been relentlessly apologizing all the time, which of course just reinforces enemy morale. If he was to take on a bit of the tattooed biker persona he might do a lot better and certainly would have more success with women. But a large part of the problem is that he and many like him are not at all the type to do that; it’s been bred and trained out of them. (And me! If I had to act the tattooed biker I don’t know how well I’d do.)
I wish him the best but as long as he insists on trying to live in Scandinavia and acting like a civilized man I don’t see much hope for him. One more crime to ascribe to the tally of the system murdering us.
