postyX - Reflections on a Fractured Society

00:00:00.000 Do you see this hand, this hand?

00:00:02.660 It's not a young hand anymore, as I've pointed out,

00:00:05.240 but when it was younger, this hand shook the old hand

00:00:09.040 of men who fought on the Eastern Front against communism

00:00:14.000 in the Waffen-SS.

00:00:17.660 And I am not ashamed of that.

00:00:20.240 And I'm not embarrassed.

00:00:23.060 I'm proud of that.

00:00:25.000 And I'm proud of them.

00:00:26.860 For what they did then for all of Europe,

00:00:28.900 ultimately, that succumbed to overwhelming force.

00:00:35.580 But I won't disavow it.

00:00:38.440 I won't disavow it.

00:00:40.400 And I won't disavow it for Ireland.

00:00:43.140 Of course I would.

00:00:44.220 In a heartbeat.

00:00:45.520 Do anything for Ireland.

00:00:46.580 In a heartbeat.

00:00:47.980 Or even the end of a heartbeat.

00:00:50.160 As it were.

00:00:51.260 The end of my heartbeat is nothing to me.

00:00:54.600 If Ireland lives. 0.85

00:00:55.960 But I know that the solution that those men fought for

00:01:01.400 on the Eastern Front is the solution to our problem now.

00:01:05.760 And maybe it won't come down to a scenario in which we have a front,

00:01:12.120 a war to go to.

00:01:13.720 In the physical sense.

00:01:15.880 But we have the same philosophical and ideological struggle.

00:01:19.540 We need to free ourselves from international finance capital.

00:01:22.540 We need to free ourselves from globalist forces.

00:01:24.860 And we need to free ourselves from the slavery of usury and the banks.

00:01:30.080 And we have one working model in modern times.

00:01:42.580 Because it's not that long ago.

00:01:44.540 As I said, this hand shook theirs.

00:01:46.600 It's not that long ago.

00:01:49.400 It's not ancient history.

00:01:50.920 We have one example in modern times of a country that was capable of doing this,

00:01:59.000 did it, and the entire world of international finance capital,

00:02:05.460 from Wall Street to Moscow,

00:02:08.800 had to gather together its forces in unison to bring it down.

00:02:13.220 And you tell me that's a bad idea,

00:02:17.120 and that I should have abandoned it because of optics?

00:02:21.700 I've never worn the uniform I wore in that paper plow. 0.98

00:02:27.500 It's not an SS uniform,

00:02:28.920 but I wouldn't have been embarrassed to wear an SS uniform.

00:02:32.260 I have no problem with that.

00:02:35.160 And neither should anybody else.

00:02:39.540 I have no problem with any idea,

00:02:41.500 so long as it's for the benefit of the Irish people.

00:02:44.340 And it does not make me any less of an Irish nationalist

00:02:47.280 that I take my idea from a German,

00:02:49.800 or I take my idea from a Frenchman,

00:02:51.700 or I take my idea from an American,

00:02:53.880 or I take my idea from wherever the bloody idea comes from

00:02:57.680 that actually works.

00:03:04.780 In the modern age,

00:03:06.140 many wander through a vast desert,

00:03:09.220 not of sand,

00:03:10.600 but of isolation.

00:03:12.440 It is a sterile place,

00:03:13.940 dry of meaning,

00:03:15.000 barren of true connection.

00:03:17.280 And yes, 0.96

00:03:17.840 I know this all sounds totally gay, 0.74

00:03:19.880 but I'm going to get to a point.

00:03:21.560 Despite the promise of global,

00:03:23.340 you know,

00:03:23.640 connectivity and constant engagement,

00:03:26.240 instant engagement,

00:03:27.740 the soul quietly withers when deprived of the community.

00:03:32.100 For the soul does not heal in isolation.

00:03:34.820 It heals in community with others,

00:03:38.700 with reflection,

00:03:39.860 and of course with meaning.

00:03:41.160 And I stole parts of that from various different quotes

00:03:43.640 and tried to put it together.

00:03:44.800 So that's why it does not sound like me at all.

00:03:47.520 To live in isolation though,

00:03:48.560 is to live without mirrors.

00:03:50.160 So without self-reflection,

00:03:51.560 you're not able to kind of,

00:03:54.680 you don't have that person to give you the feedback.

00:03:56.960 Without others to reflect back who we are,

00:03:59.960 we lose our sense of self.

00:04:02.640 The modern individual,

00:04:03.760 often atomized by urban sprawl,

00:04:06.880 hyper-individualism,

00:04:08.320 consumerism,

00:04:09.660 digital echo chambers rather,

00:04:12.140 they suffer a quiet kind of madness.

00:04:15.200 And Nietzsche talked about this.

00:04:16.960 If you read any of his work,

00:04:18.880 many,

00:04:19.380 many philosophers talked about this.

00:04:22.300 But being disconnected from community,

00:04:24.080 your identity becomes like a performance.

00:04:26.220 It becomes rather an act as opposed to what the truth is.

00:04:32.460 The structure of modern society has come to resemble

00:04:35.640 a psychological experiment more than a human civilization.

00:04:40.000 People chase dopamine rewards,

00:04:42.240 likes,

00:04:42.740 follows,

00:04:43.280 purchases,

00:04:44.340 basically like rats in the rat race chasing pellets.

00:04:47.720 We pull the levers we are given,

00:04:50.380 hoping they yield something meaningful,

00:04:52.700 but they rarely do.

00:04:54.120 This mechanistic way of life,

00:04:56.020 is presented as progress,

00:04:57.740 a world of perfect order,

00:05:00.320 unending happiness,

00:05:01.560 and no conflict.

00:05:04.000 But of course,

00:05:04.600 the stream is fundamentally at odds with the nature of being.

00:05:08.140 Human life is not tidy,

00:05:09.900 nor is it utopian.

00:05:11.760 I think we're all starting to see that.

00:05:14.320 Growth often comes from struggle,

00:05:16.440 and order without chaos becomes stagnation.

00:05:19.660 A world without tension is not a world of peace,

00:05:22.180 but a world of dull submission.

00:05:23.900 In the pursuit of some sort of engineered perfection,

00:05:28.480 we have lost the vitality of being human.

00:05:32.740 There's a cruel irony in how our ruling class behaves,

00:05:36.840 the oligarchs,

00:05:37.740 if you will.

00:05:38.560 They campaign off the very destruction that they oversee,

00:05:42.100 which wouldn't make sense to the rational mind.

00:05:45.820 They do not fix the fractures in the social foundation,

00:05:49.200 they amplify them.

00:05:51.260 Economic despair,

00:05:52.760 social atomization,

00:05:53.820 and cultural disintegration

00:05:55.420 become tools and not problems to solve.

00:05:58.220 The more broken the people,

00:06:00.700 the more power the elite hold.

00:06:02.840 And this is why they continue with these things

00:06:04.800 that are making us broken people.

00:06:06.640 Our souls are broken.

00:06:08.280 My soul is broken,

00:06:09.360 and it's all from this propaganda that the elites feed us.

00:06:12.640 This is definitely evident in the realities

00:06:14.620 that the young generations face,

00:06:16.400 specifically Gen Z.

00:06:18.400 Gen Z,

00:06:19.540 or Gen Z for Canadians,

00:06:21.580 has 90% less purchasing power

00:06:24.480 than baby boomers did in their 20s.

00:06:27.020 So think about that.

00:06:29.320 So it's not just boomers saying,

00:06:31.280 pull up your socks and get another job,

00:06:33.200 work harder.

00:06:34.220 Your purchasing power is 90% less.

00:06:38.680 How can you keep up with that?

00:06:40.480 How can you manage?

00:06:41.760 The Canadian dream or the American dream,

00:06:44.160 once a promise of prosperity and stability,

00:06:47.700 is now increasingly out of reach.

00:06:50.280 People marry less, 1.00

00:06:51.540 they have fewer children,

00:06:52.900 they engage in less intimacy,

00:06:54.940 they weigh more,

00:06:55.800 they sleep less,

00:06:57.020 and they work more.

00:06:59.020 And these are not just statistics,

00:07:00.920 these are symptoms of a civilization in crisis.

00:07:04.480 Cultural narratives surrounding gender

00:07:06.480 only complicate the landscape.

00:07:08.560 Many women today speak on the patriarchy with disdain,

00:07:12.040 seeing it as a relic of oppression.

00:07:14.600 Yet, when listening closely to their frustrations

00:07:17.280 with modern life,

00:07:18.780 especially on social media,

00:07:20.440 you hear a lot of these influencers

00:07:21.840 and the grifters mostly complaining about the frustrations of modern life

00:07:26.020 and how hard it is.

00:07:27.300 But it becomes apparent why older societal structures existed,

00:07:32.020 like the patriarchy.

00:07:34.060 They may have had flaws,

00:07:35.880 but they provided, you know,

00:07:37.180 clarity, order,

00:07:38.680 defined roles,

00:07:39.760 and it may not have worked perfectly,

00:07:42.200 but it was definitely functionally

00:07:44.320 and people were definitely a lot happier.

00:07:46.800 Now, masculinity is often defined not by men,

00:07:50.100 but by the preferences and interests of others,

00:07:52.860 frequently in ways that they serve short-term desires

00:07:56.060 rather than long-term stability.

00:07:57.740 When women are allowed to define masculinity, 1.00

00:08:01.360 it is often reshaped into a utility

00:08:03.060 for their own expectations,

00:08:05.180 which is exactly what we are seeing now.

00:08:07.240 This is why there's so many simps 0.98

00:08:08.620 and so many boss bitches 1.00

00:08:10.160 and nobody's having kids 1.00

00:08:11.960 and nobody's getting married.

00:08:13.520 So they reshape it as into a utility

00:08:16.400 or a tool for their own expectations

00:08:18.740 rather than a holistic view of the male identity.

00:08:21.860 Among the most unspoken crisis

00:08:23.100 is the treatment of young white male children.

00:08:25.520 Despite having committed no moral or historical wrong,

00:08:29.600 they are often viewed through this lens

00:08:31.120 of collective guilt,

00:08:32.360 collective white guilt.

00:08:33.860 In schools, media, and broader discourse,

00:08:36.380 they endure a kind of ritual humiliation.

00:08:39.020 This is like the land acknowledgements.

00:08:40.920 They have all these form of things

00:08:42.460 in different countries.

00:08:43.260 In Canada, it's the land acknowledgements.

00:08:45.280 In Australia, for example,

00:08:46.200 it's the welcome to country 1.00

00:08:47.940 fucking humiliation ritual that they do. 1.00

00:08:50.720 They endure a kind of ritual humiliation, 1.00

00:08:52.600 subtle and overt,

00:08:53.480 treated less as individuals

00:08:55.340 and more as symbols of a past

00:08:57.000 that must be expunged.

00:08:59.860 They are removed from cultural power. 0.78

00:09:02.120 Their voices are muted.

00:09:03.160 Their ambitions are ridiculed.

00:09:04.840 Their fertility, as symbolic and literal,

00:09:07.860 is constrained as if they were

00:09:09.240 the conquered people

00:09:10.260 rather than citizens

00:09:11.700 in their own homeland.

00:09:14.360 The treatment they receive at times echoes

00:09:16.700 the punitive conditions imposed

00:09:18.620 on defeated nations after war

00:09:20.760 despite their innocence.

00:09:22.260 So we can take this to

00:09:24.440 looking at what happened to Germany 0.85

00:09:26.500 and Germany is,

00:09:27.740 this is why Germany is the way it is now.

00:09:29.460 It's because of historical guilt

00:09:31.240 after World War II.

00:09:33.460 There's a few countries like that,

00:09:34.940 but mostly the white Western countries.

00:09:37.500 If there is to be any kind of healing,

00:09:40.780 it must begin with the return to the community.

00:09:43.140 You hear everybody say this,

00:09:44.380 nationalists say this all the time.

00:09:46.300 The desert of isolation,

00:09:47.520 it cannot be escaped through pellets and levers,

00:09:50.700 which is a saying that,

00:09:51.760 you know, we kind of live in a society

00:09:53.500 of pellets and levers,

00:09:54.380 like the rats in the, you know,

00:09:56.300 thing trying to get more food. 0.95

00:09:57.720 And it's not through sanitized visions of utopia

00:10:00.160 that they keep trying to sell us.

00:10:02.040 It is escaped only

00:10:03.300 when we reclaim the chaotic, complex,

00:10:06.400 the beautiful reality of being human

00:10:08.380 together as a community.

00:10:10.320 Order must be balanced by meaning

00:10:13.320 and masculinity must be reclaimed by men. 1.00

00:10:16.560 Power must be distributed not by guilt

00:10:18.300 or by identity,

00:10:19.960 but by merit and truth.

00:10:21.740 We need to return to a meritocracy.

00:10:24.480 And most of all,

00:10:25.200 the soul must be seen not just by oneself,

00:10:28.680 but by others who reflect it back.

00:10:32.200 And to finish this off with an even cheesier saying,

00:10:35.120 but until then,

00:10:36.680 until we do that,

00:10:37.940 we will continue to wander the desert.

00:10:40.320 Thank you.
