In the American Modern Age there is a shared set of values, based, one, upon consuming vast amounts of shoddily-made goods; and two, of ignorance and cowardice as the vulgar values of the consumer – that a consumer is happiest and infused with endorphins at the promise of acquiring goods, and unwilling or unable to comprehend the consequences of his or her enslavement to mediocrity and vulgarity. Consuming, demanding rights to consume equally, being unaccountable and disconnected – these are the values of the Modern Age.
Thanks to J. Rufus Fears and his lectures on Life Lessons from the Great Myths. Although he doesn’t mention Pathos of Distance, every word he utters attests to its fact. How we got from the Greek Heroic Age to the American Modern Age can be summed in one concept: the slave revolt in morals.
“Romans! I need only remind you of the name you bear that you may realize how different we are from the men we fight!” TITVS VESPASIANVS, JVDEA 70 BC.
The purpose of ROMVLAE GENTI is to create an environment wherein a Nietzschean revaluation of modern Judeo-Christian values can occur. As adults with as much as 49 years immersion in this truth regime, it is unfathomably difficult to imagine a reality not constructed by modern prejudices against nobility, strength, honor, courage, power, wisdom, tradition, discrimination, quality, and sacrifice. Now, however, we have an opportunity to create a person that does not have to be enslaved by our undying search for mediocrity, laziness, cowardice, equality, ignorance, and opinion. TITVS has a chance to be more at home with the heroic age of Classical Greece and Roma, when men were judged by the former characteristics at the expense of the latter. In that age, virtue and responsibility were not equally doled out to each and all but were the reserve of those who had made themselves worthy.
There are intellectual and behavioral aspects of the transvaluation.
Intellectual. The transvaluation itself is simply a process of re-valuing what we are told by our culture to value. Why this is necessary becomes clear when studying the origins of our morality. It began as a weapon in the Jewish-Christian war against Roma. The Jews, unable to compete with the might of Roma, instead affected a “slave revolt” in morals wherein “the good” was made “the evil” and “the bad” was made “the good.” What was most valued by Roma (strength, honor, discipline, virtue) was re-and-de-valued by the Jews, who made what was good for the slave and the slavish (equality, meekness, mildness, passivity, compassion, pity) now good for all. History is little more than the spread of Judeo-Christian morality throughout the Roman and modern world up to today, especially given that modernity itself is fueled by the desire to create maximum comfort and leisure for the greatest number of people.
Behavioral. The transvaluation is not only an intellectual process but a physical and behavioral one. When one values strength, aggression, tactical violence, and courage in any situation, one needs a certain physical presence to be able to enact these values. Plus, in valuing so, one will immediately create hordes of enemies, thereby increasing the need for preparedness and readiness. Thus, strength will be created and cultivated for a reason - not merely for aesthetics or vanity. Likewise, knowledge will be created based on depth of understanding and expertise, not merely as a substance to fill space and time. In ROMVLAE GENTI, as in Roma, opinion has zero value. No one is free to do “as they like.” Each are instead free to be experts and have expert knowledge that is useful and valuable to the project.
TITVS. In the spirit of the transvaluation of values, TITVS was named after TITVS VESPASIANVS, the Roman emperor who destroyed the Second Temple of Jerusalem in the process of defeating the Jewish revolt in 70 BC, and thus beginning the Jewish exile from Judea. For the Jews, this occasion is memorialized as Tisha B’av, the “darkest day” in their history. On this “fast day” the Jew is prohibited from eating, drinking, bathing, applying creams or oils, wearing leather shoes, and having martial relations. Those in modern Jerusalem are prohibited from working, something impossible for America’s Jews! I propose that the Festa di TITVS be marked by each of these actions, as a demonstration of the distance between us and them.
For 1600 years the Jews have ruled the West by controlling how and what we value. What is good or bad for the Jew must be good or bad for all, otherwise their reign is tenuous, as demonstrated by the brief liberation of the species affected by Mussolini and Hitler. On Tisha B’av 2010 (from sunset of July 19 to nightfall of July 20), ROMVALE GENTI will instead celebrate La Festa di TITVS. We will demonstrate that what is darkness for the Jew and the slavish is pure joyous light for us, the proud, healthy, and strong members of ROMVLAE GENTI. As Nietzsche explains, the continued dominance of Judeo-Christian morality is not a sign of progress or its superiority but that a new type of person and form of life have been brought about by this morality - a type and form which would be incapable of surviving in the Greco-Roman world. It is time to begin making ourselves worthy of Roma.
I've decided to make public some documents that were long private. I do so in the interest of finding members of our race - if you don't know what this means then click to whatever site you were originally looking for - that are currently estranged.
The first is our reading list. (If you are aware of the books on this list, contact me, subito!) The point of the list is to provide a common intellectual framework for the (re)creation of a Roman Imperium. To do so with a decidedly Nietzschean understanding of the consequences of modern/Judeo-Christian morality is the key to RG. If you don't have ears for such words, again, thank you for visiting and have a nice day.
The second is a letter I wrote to members of the RG chapter in Atlanta on the occasion of the first RG congress. It puritans to the meaning of that occasion - a transvaluation of the Jewish mourning of the destruction of the Second Temple, or Tisha B'av.
Finally, I hope to make this space more active and engaged with current issues of the day. I'm always envious of sites like Counter-Currents and The Occidental Observer that collect - and connect - so many people involved in the New Right. Perhaps I can use it to create my own voice in this community. Or better still, give voice to those in RG. For my role at this point is to teach and help develop the critical awareness and ability for deep, pain-inducing, analysis in those around me.
