"L’honneur est une question de sang, non de raison. On ne réfléchit pas – sinon, on a déjà perdu l’honneur."

Oswald Spengler

Illustration: Coup de pied sauté d'Éric Cantona sur un supporter de Crystal Palace qui vient de le traiter de "Fucking French bastard", 25 janvier 1995, Selhurst Park. Cantona écopera de 8 mois de suspension, 40 000 livres d'amende et 120 heures de travail d'intérêt général.

["Conservative revolutionaries'] basic idea is that conservatism should not seek to preserve the past, but what is eternal. We could say: maintain the flame and not keep the ashes".

Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to think, and this they consider freedom.

"Dugin merece crédito por ter levado para a Rússia, ou melhor, para a cultura acadêmica e popular russa, autores profundamente ocidentais e considerados 'indesejáveis' pelo então regime soviético nos anos anteriores, pensadores de vários tipos que se tornaram pontos de referência para ele em sua formação filosófica e política: da Alemanha, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Hegel, Ferdinand Lasalle, Ernst Jünger, Ernst Niekisch, Oswald Spengler; do Reino Unido, Halford Mackinder; da França, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Alain De Benoist, Georges Sorel, Marcel Mauss, Serge Letouche, Roger Garaudy, Christian Jambet, Jean-Claude Michéa, René Guenon; do Brasil, Darcy Ribeiro; da Romênia, Mircea Eliade; da Itália, Nicola Bombacci, Antonio Gramsci, Curzio Malaparte, Julius Evola, Costanzo Preve, Massimo Cacciari, Giorgio Agamben, Diego Fusaro. Essa lista ampla, embora incompleta, de pensadores das mais diversas épocas, geografias e orientações era quase estranha ao mundo russo da produção cultural devido ao filtro ideológico imposto pela União Soviética, deixando inacabado o trabalho de metabolização, interpretação e comparação que pertence a toda cultura, especialmente no mundo globalizado". - Lorenzo Maria Pacini (Dugin e Platão)

Again, it is not the Classical statue, but the Classical *torso* that we really love. It has had a destiny: something suggestive of the past as past envelops it, and our imagination delights to fill the empty space of missing limbs with the pulse and swing of invisible lines

It is a piece of intellectual stupidity to want to substitute something else for the social structure that has grown up through the centuries and is fortified by tradition.

“Ok, ready for your traditionalism class?”

Spengler sweats heavily

Evola is panting

Nietzche is praying

Junger has his hands on his face

Mishima is on the verge of tears

“Yes Andrew Tate” they all say in unison

We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.

—Oswald Spengler

«He aquí lo que le falta precisamente al pensador occidental y lo que no debiera faltarle precisamente a él: la comprensión de que sus conclusiones tienen un carácter histórico-relativo, de que no son sino la expresión de un modo de ser singular y sólo de él. El pensador occidental ignora los necesarios límites en que se encierra la validez de sus asertos; no sabe que sus “verdades inconmovibles”, sus “verdades eternas”, son verdaderas sólo para él y son eternas sólo para su propia visión del mundo; no cree que sea su deber salir de ellas para considerar las otras que el hombre de otras culturas ha extraído de sí y afirmado con idéntica certeza. Pero justamente tendrá que hacerlo la filosofía del futuro si quiere preciarse de integral. Eso es lo que significa comprender el lenguaje de las formas históricas, del mundo viviente. Nada es aquí perdurables, nada universal. No se hable más de formas del pensamiento, del principio de lo trágico, del problema del Estado. La validez universal es siempre una conclusión falsa que verificamos extendiendo a los demás lo que sólo para nosotros vales.»

Oswald Spengler: La decadencia de Occidente. Bosquejo de una morfología de la historia universal, Introducción, 15, tomo I. Editorial Espasa-Calpe, págs. 50-51 Madrid, 1966.

"Though forms subsist, the great political parties nevertheless cease to be more than reputed centers of decision. The decisions in fact lie elsewhere. A small number of superior heads, whose names are very likely not the best known, settle everything, while below them are the great mass of second rate politicians - rhetors, tribunes, deputies, journalists - selected through a provincially conceived franchise to keep alive the illusion of popular self-determination."

-Spengler, Decline of the West

"The entire world is becoming torrentially conservative, out of self-protection, to protect its heritage, from a duty to capture once again the elements that have been shaken together, each in a different way, us ourselves - in the most difficult of all: the re-overthrow of the overthrow, the negated and negating negation, the revolution against the revolution".

“Man is a beast of prey. I shall say it again and again. All the would-be moralists and social-ethics people who claim or hope to be “beyond all that” are only beasts of prey with their teeth broken, who hate others on account of the attacks which they themselves are wise enough to avoid. Only look at them. They are too weak to read a book on war, but they herd together in the street to see an accident, letting the blood and the screams play on their nerves. And if even that is too much for them, they enjoy it on the film and in the illustrated papers. If I call man a beast of prey, which do I insult: man or beast? For remember, the larger beasts of prey are noble creatures, and perfect of their kind, and without the hypocrisy of human moral due to weakness.”

— Jahre der Entscheidung (1934) (“The Hour of Decision”), Oswald Spengler, “The Political Horizon”, Page 21. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. (1934). Translated by Charles Francis Atkinson.

When reasons have to be put forward at all in a question of life, life itself has become questionable.
