Folkish Worldview

The word "folkslop" has begun to spread within fake pagan circles as a libel against actual paganism. This is because folkishness has emerged victorious from every contact with Platonism, monism, and other such heresies, and they don't know what else to do. Ironic that they consider themselves the "intellectual" wing of paganism but have lost every argument in recent years because—surprise!—turns out that not believi…

When you press Christians hard enough, they'll retreat to something like "well, Christianity united the white race" or "Christianity built Europe". But when they make this argument they're accepting the pagan frame. One of the most basic differences between Christianity and paganism is that Christians think your politics should follow your morality and religion. This has crept into the discourse, so that they accuse…

Christian theology is obviously subversive and gay, so why are Christians some of the most opposed to communism and gender confusion? The answer is simple, and it's not because of anything inherent in their religion. It's because reality has imposed itself on Christianity. Christianity has an important advantage over the pagan revival: it has had to rule pragmatically for 1500 years. When you have to keep a society …

"The greatest pagan tradition is converting to Christianity."

When the pagan says "we have never been more Christian," the Christian struggles to understand. But the pagan is simply agreeing with the Catholic Church. "At its core, this case is not solely a question about citizenship status or the 14th Amendment. It is a question of whether the law will affirm or deny the equal worth of those born within our common community—whether the law will protect the human dignity of all…

Evolian "Traditionalists" point to a guy who said a woman can be born in a man's body and another guy who became a Muslim, and they say: This is how we save the West. This school of thought really just falls below the threshold of serious discourse. Accordingly, as the right matures, the "Traditionalist" school has been hemorrhaging influence. For years now. This is a great step forward. @folkishworldview

Carl Jung is often quoted as saying that "Modern man cannot see God because he does not look low enough". The actual quote is above but this is a fair summary. There's a based version of this and a cringe version. The cringe version is Jordan Peterson's interpretation, which is a fetishization of "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers". It's the idea that Yahweh is to be found in the low, the deformed, the w…

The folkish worldview is unlike anything you're used to. It's hard to understand what a hard break it is from modernity. One important way the folkish worldview differs is in its approach to rationality. A modern worldview (and yes, modernity has ancient beginnings) says that the worldview can be judged according to the standards of rationality: if it doesn't meet those standards, we should abandon it. Folkishness …

The "principled loser" is the child of post-folkish theologies. Christianity, Platonism, various flavours of post-Vedic Hindiusm, etc. All say some version of "we are not of this world": the true self, the higher self, this belongs to the realm of transcendence. "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36) No. Gain the world or die in the attempt. Or else you'll …
