How do you recognise a foundation myth? It fulfils three functions.

1)It explains the origin and structure of the world (and society).
2)It defines ultimate good and evil (and from those definitions are derived the values that are used to justify the holding of power).
3)It determines what is held sacred in that society.

For modern Westerners the story of WWII has become their foundation myth. It fulfils all three functions.

1)We live in the ‘Post-War World’. The lines on the map, the institutions, the sense of what era we live in, all arise from the starting point of WWII.

2)Ultimate evil is Nazis. Ultimate good is opposing Nazis. The values derived from these definitions are anti-racism, equality, diversity, anti-nationalism and so on.

3)The only thing that is held sacred, that cannot be denied or mocked in the contemporary West, is the Holocaust.

The problem is that all three functions are backwards or negative.

Instead of the origin event being one of fertility and new life, it was a conflagration of death and destruction.

Instead of ultimate good taking the central position in the story that slot is occupied by ultimate evil. Everyone knows that Adolf Hitler, the personification of evil, holds the centre point of the WWII story.

Instead of that which is held sacred being something mysterious and sublime it (the Holocaust) is an obscenity.

Having a negative foundation myth means the tree of life for Westerners is poisoned.

I was in GATE not because I was smart (I was) but because I believed that my suffering meant something. Like the "Ender's Game" kid I believed that I was working for the safety of my people. I became an engineer, and work on science projects to help my people better understand the world and to turn back aging.

Then, I grew up, and realized a few things:
1. science only gets funded when it increases the stranglehold that the financial elites hold over the normie masses
2. my work was in rebellion against God...I explicity wanted to achieve immortality as well as knowledge of good and evil, two things that were forbidden to Adam and Eve in the Genesis myth. I searched for the metaphorical tree of life and the metaphorical tree of knowledge...because I want to help other people who need help. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer and die each day, and no one knows why they have consciousness.
3. my ideals will result in me failing to reproduce

This was related to women. Hephaestus gets cucked by Ares and Aphrodite...is it better to be a Hephaestus or an Ares?

So, I formed a new identity, that made more sense.

Lurking for crazy suicide memo.

You cribbed that shit from VertigoPolitix, but I'll give you a pass because it needs to be spoken about. And we need to get our shit together.

GOOD VIDEO

I noticed even VertigoPolitix linked to it in his video. I guess this is my "I know that bulge" moment.

So the path choices appear to be:
1.) Ditch the nazi shit and focus on regional pride (English, Irish, Polish, etc)
2.) Delegitimize holohoax
3.) Delegitimize globalism (Best bet, imo)
4.) Get gulag'd and have everyone in chains for the next thousand years.

Deligitimizing the holohoax would achieve the other goals simultaneously.

The black sun was shilled here breddy hard leading up to the election, I assume to turn the Trump/Hitler narrative into a positive.

For an individual, though, another choice is how much to buy in to the group identity. Participating in politics is psychically costly (or at least it is in the present system) so successful people tend to be selfish narcissists. This is why I can't go all-in on working for the common good anymore. I must be paid.

The holohoax is their anvil which they'll crush humanity on. Most people have such a knee jerk reaction to questioning it that is seems undefeatable. Of course, we still have multiple options but they've about got europe in the bag.

And honestly, this isn't about race for me. It's about being free and humanity surviving. They're taking us down a dark road and I don't know if we'll survive it to even have a chance to rebuild humanity. I don't want to think of my great grandchildren as brainwashed cattle for (((them))) to do with as they see fit and treat like animals. I want them to be their own masters.

...so the Meme War must press on.

>>137230980
The real reason they're desperate for the US and Russia to stay at loggerheads is the holohoax. The alleged death camps are all (((very conveniently))) the ones liberated by the Soviets. If the US and Russia compare notes and don't find ANY death camps, the whole facade collapses at once.

Aye. Reason must prevail. As long as a few people are reasonable, we can hope. Hope, but fight on. Once more unto the breach, dear friend.
