00:00:00.440 Greetings, my esteemed subscribers. Today I thought to talk a bit about the concept of revolt against the modern world.
00:00:08.480 And I thought to utilize a certain example. I have a fine tome of wisdom from Arctos. Looks like this.
00:00:16.120 And I will give a shout out to Arctos. I think they have a very good selection of good books.
00:00:22.860 I'm not paid to say that. I just think that is the case.
00:00:26.380 So, this book by Mark Dial, Hated and Proud. Ultras contra modernity.
00:00:33.840 I haven't read all of it, but I've read enough to say that it's interesting.
00:00:38.580 And also, my main critique of the book is that he uses the utmost blasphemous term of soccer.
00:00:45.600 Absolutely forbidden to use such terminology.
00:00:49.500 There is no such thing as soccer. It's American football, or you have football.
00:00:53.840 So, football then is what the author describes as soccer.
00:00:58.440 Anyway, that's not the main point. I just wanted to have that said so no one buys this book and then get a shock because he uses that term.
00:01:08.420 But anyway, he has spent some time with the Ultras of Roma.
00:01:14.520 So, one of the teams from Rome in Italy.
00:01:18.200 And I thought it was a brilliant book to showcase, you know, some critique against the modern world and in this case modern football.
00:01:26.120 Because it's a good example on how to illustrate the modern world and global homo on one side and a more traditional and traditional football on the other hand. 1.00
00:01:35.580 So, we can take a Roma Ultra, a Roma supporter.
00:01:40.840 What is his connection to the football club?
00:01:44.060 Yeah, he is from Rome.
00:01:45.500 He is a proud native of Rome or whichever city it might be.
00:01:50.420 It could have been Chelsea in the British Premier League 50 years ago.
00:01:55.040 But, yeah, a proud Roman citizen.
00:01:58.260 He has his entire family there.
00:02:00.640 His community is there.
00:02:02.660 His support for his team is there.
00:02:04.640 And when he goes with his mates, who are also people he has perhaps known his entire life, you know, native Romans.
00:02:11.320 They go to the stadium to cheer for the team.
00:02:14.320 And perhaps they have a mate playing in the team because he is also from Rome.
00:02:19.620 So, you have this sort of thing that the team is connected to a city, in this case Rome, a community, a culture and ethnicity.
00:02:29.180 So, you have all of these sort of things rooting it in one place, which creates, you know, a wholesome and real community.
00:02:37.500 And on the other hand, you have modern football and this applies to the American case as well.
00:02:42.180 So, if we look upon this American football fan, boom, what does he have in common with the American football player?
00:02:48.180 Boom.
00:02:49.160 And same thing, we can take an even more absurd example.
00:02:53.240 We have a Swedish guy who is very fervently supporting an English football team.
00:02:58.920 He is supporting Manchester United.
00:03:00.840 But what does he have in common with the players in Manchester United?
00:03:04.860 What does he have in common with the team itself?
00:03:07.500 So, there we have a difference.
00:03:09.300 And also something I must mention here when we talk about revolting against the modern world.
00:03:14.020 What does it not mean?
00:03:15.660 It does not mean that you are a Luddite.
00:03:17.360 It does not mean that you are against technology.
00:03:19.820 It does not mean that you think Europe or America in the 50s was the ultimate time and place to be.
00:03:26.200 That is not the case.
00:03:27.620 Tradition, with a capital T, is about perennial values that are always with us.
00:03:32.180 So, it is not going back 100 years and thinking that everything that is now is bad.
00:03:37.380 And to explain this further, I actually have another book also from Arctos.
00:03:40.480 And this is an interview with Dominic Wenner.
00:03:45.020 And I have a good quote to illustrate my point.
00:03:49.480 And we are talking about the victors of the Second World War.
00:03:52.120 So, communism and Americanism as economic systems.
00:03:56.840 The hatred for old Europe was also a major motivation for the communists.
00:04:01.860 They too wanted to create a new man.
00:04:04.660 A homo economicus. 1.00
00:04:06.580 An economic man.
00:04:08.500 Rational and unchanging.
00:04:10.200 Liberated from the shackles that are his roots, nature and culture.
00:04:14.320 And I will repeat that last part.
00:04:17.740 Liberated from the shackles that are his roots, nature and culture.
00:04:22.340 So, that is basically what this is about.
00:04:25.240 The homoglobo attitude that you need to be unshackled, freed from your roots. 0.99
00:04:31.140 Obviously, we as identitarians know that this is not something that you want.
00:04:36.280 You are a tree and you don't want to get uprooted and just spread to the wind.
00:04:40.360 You want to have strong, firm, deep roots in your local culture, in your community, in your ethnicity, in your spirituality.
00:04:50.520 The more deep roots you have, the better.
00:04:52.700 And in the liberal leftist homogeny that we have today, this is then a bad thing.
00:04:58.500 So, there you have the global homo vision of an economic man. 1.00
00:05:02.160 Understood only in terms of purchasing power or whatever.
00:05:05.760 And you have the more identitarian, capital T, vision of the world where you are rooted in something.
00:05:13.420 So, yet again, to take the example of an American football team or a modern British team in the Premier League on one side.
00:05:20.320 Versus the more authentic, in this case, Roma team from Italy.
00:05:27.140 So, yes, there you have a good example on the difference between these sort of things.
00:05:31.800 It might be hard to just understand the concept of revolt against the modern world and think that it means, you know, that you're against technology or whatever.
00:05:38.660 But what it means is on one side you have something that everyone can participate in.
00:05:44.920 On the other side you have something that is deeply rooted in other things.
00:05:49.280 So, to promote my own company a bit, this is not for everyone.
00:05:52.360 This is not global homo. 0.99
00:05:54.040 This is not something that you can just put on.
00:05:56.240 And also I saw some criticism that this is, you only need to be white to have this.
00:06:01.820 No, absolutely not. 0.99
00:06:02.860 Most whites are degenerates. 1.00
00:06:04.500 Most whites should never come near a Legio Gloria garment in the modern world because they're decadent and undeserving of it. 1.00
00:06:12.120 This is something you deserve after a long period of hard, consistent work. 0.92
00:06:16.100 Something that is deeply rooted in a higher understanding of the world.
00:06:19.500 So, this is not global homo. 0.98
00:06:20.940 So, anyway, I hope that brought some insights to you all.
00:06:26.240 XXO, boom.
