The Breaker of Creed & Class
In the patriotic initiative to eradicate class and proclaim each man equal to one another, the American Experiment has made man amnesiatic. He does not know his identity. He is neither a working man, nor an aristocrat. He is neither German, nor English. He is neither White, nor Black. Nor is He Catholic, Baptist, or Orthodox. He is simply He, in the most atomized sense.
This has put him into crisis for now he does not know what to identify himself as. Devoid of any religion, creed, or class to classify himself under, he adopts the most banal and superficial of masks. Sometimes he identify's himself as a particularly fanatical 'fan' of this football team or that, bedect in jersey and all. Other times he finds identity with a political movements, shifting from one demagogue to another as the political seasons inevitably signals the change from one candidate to another. In more extreme examples, this desperation for identity proliferates in sexuality, which the Cultural Zeitgeist is only too happy to promote in this particularly degenerate decade. Youth, expressing the same liberation theology their hippy grandparents posessed in the sixties take the free love movement to its final, licencious, conclusion: with the open promotion of homosexuality, trans-sexuality, and sexual deviency.
Much of this moral decay will be noted later, but the point remains: in absence of tangible identity, Americans have been left in a crisis the strikes at the heart of the existential cancer man finds himself in today.
But most importantly, what has man been deprived of? After all, This cultural cascade began long before all of us were born. Men of today lack even a semblance of where to go, through no fault of their own. Their own ancestors lost the map long ago, so it is no fault that todays youth finds themselves lost in the first place. Yet a glance upon the histories of American Settlement in the West can give at least the cursory clue of where man belongs. My own maternal ancestors, of humble Dutch origin settled the Camas Prairie just over one-hundred years prior. These men were of strong Protestant faith, and retained the mother tongue long after departing the boat. Their communities remained strongly Teutonic, with those within the community intermarrying amongst their own kind. It wasn’t until the cultural revolution of the sixties that this strongly braded ethno-centrism began to show its cracks. The final blow to this most important bond was struck by the hammer of the Johnson Administration in 1968, with every administration thereafter echoing the same strokes towards the equalization of the peoples, to the detriment of them all.
Paranoid Schizophrenic has the regime been towards destroying their very own people that they have chosen to export their very industries to the Orient, and dilute their own agricultural stock towards cheap, immigrant labour. So out-group oriented they seem to be, that they have identified themselves as nothing but aliens and traitors, the metaphorical Benedict Arnold’s of the nation
Noted previously, as little as a century ago religious fervor prospered in the west, in rich and poor alike. Comparative from our own time, the average man was of God fearing disposition. His community centered around the worship of Christ. As damaging as the effects of reformation theology were, it could be accurately said that the populi were properly oriented towards the heavens proper. Yet this skyward gaze seemed to have started to slip as the sixth decade of the twentieth century began, with the substitution of the Eucharists being embodied in consumerism, feminism, free-love, and Civil Rights. This revolution of the spirit, beget with its nihilistic trappings, are something we all feel to this very day.
Indeed the final flag that aught to be raised is our nation’s peculiar notion of class. Indeed allusions can be drawn between the protestant faith and American classism. Whereas the protestant faith purports to believe in the invisible body of the church, devoid of ecclesiastical and temporal authority, the American experiment, so wrought in notions of egality, and liberty, has chosen to dispense with any notion of classist structure. Now of course, the mere proclamation of Classist emancipation does not eliminate Class. Rather what it does is hide it in the back-ground. This is easy enough to demonstrate in reality. Every man instinctually understand his place in society. A Boston Brahmin would immediately be considered an outlier in a St. Louis slum, and a working man from Wichita would find himself quite out of place amongst Seattle Technocrats. The point is lucid. Like a puzzle, each man instinctually understands his place.
Now, the motives for classist elimination are innocent enough, but the consequence of declaring each man equal to another throws him into a quandary. Without a compass, a man find’s himself lost. Equally so, without class, a man knows not who he is. He lacks the requisite identity that forms his backbone. The Boston Brahmin finds pride in his learned, aristocratic heritage. Likewise, the working man from Wichita takes satisfaction in his agrarian roots. If such understandings are understood in the back-ground, why not pull it to the fore-ground? Of course such formalization’s were dispensed with long ago, as they very much represented the antithesis, indeed the Anti-Christ in the eyes of progressive man. No Class can exist because the Progressive project dictated that all men must be equal.
Thus we come to the bitter understanding of modern man’s dilemma. He is precisely without identity because his masters dictated he be free of such trappings. He has been ‘liberated’ to be whatever he wishes to be. That is at least the argument presented by his ‘liberators’. Of course the ultimate truth is the fact that those very trapping’s defined who he was. It represented the substance, the material, and the matter of the man. That truth remains primordial enough.
It is in the silver lining that despite machinations of the innovationists, despite the degeneration, the sickness, the spiritual rot, there are those who recognize the corruption and have the temerity to rebel against it. Those charged with rebellion have the utmost duty to purify their souls not only for their own sake, but for the sake of their brothers, sisters, and above all, God. Indeed this War is not confined to our generation, but a plurality of generations. Thus, we must stand resolutely against evil, for the generations to come will depend on our guardianship.
