Western Civilisation's Problem: Do not feel entitled to things you have yet to earn

The Westerner is being punished for forgettinghis values and principles. Instead of acknowledging his fault, he demands — with infuriating entitlement — to regardless keep his cultural sovereignty after renouncing his right to it. Too harsh? Hear me out… https://sotiris.substack.com/p/what-are-western-values-anyway **The problem** You might think you honour your culture and the core ideals that define your ethnic identity, but you don’t. You think your identity is just the colour of your skin, but it’s not. There are tons of people with the same skin colour as you who hate everything about you and your culture. They share your skin colour but are of antithetical (and beligerent against yours) cultures, ideologies, and persuasions. You could find purple-coloured beings who share more common values with you than with them. Your values, virtues, principles, and ideals define your individual and cultural identities. Your identity grants you a sense of purpose and meaning. You instead feel despair, worthlessness, and crippling fear and it’s consequence:false hope in false idols. This proves that you don’t stand for anything - not really - other than**borrowed glory from the accomplishments of your ancestors**. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/muh-optimism You don’t even knowwhat your culture stands for, let alone live by it. If you stand for nothing, you fall for anything. And you fell for the lie of the “benevolent” state, the wolf in sheep’s clothing, the charming Mephistopheles promising you everything in exchange for your soul, the only thing that matters. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/what-are-western-values-anyway Some self-criticism goes a long way. **Accountability** You can read John Carter https://open.substack.com/users/44654668-john-carter?utm_source=mentions ’s insightful musings all you like. He masterfully illustrates what you already know: an accurate situational assessment of Western reality for which you need validation, otherwise you’ll conclude you’re crazy for feeling like the only one who sees it that way. But did you ever pause to wonder where you were and are responsible for your society’s problems? Fearing accountability is weak and stupid. Accountability means you had and you have the power to change things. Where you have no responsibility, you have no possible way of affecting something. You should cherish accountability. Here is where you are responsible: With every passing day, you betray the values of your ancestors as**you kiss the hand that flogs you**… the same**hand that robs you to enrich people whom it propagandises to hate you**. It is the state, it’s always been the state, and it will always be the state that will be your first-cause issue. The existence of the state, however, is made possible only by your willing submission to it, and your voluntary self-delusion that you somehow “need it” to “protect” you when it clearly does the opposite. **The state brutalises you, brainwashes foreigners to hate you, then forces you to live among them as it treats them with preference at your expense**. The state makes laws to criminalise your speech and your dissent, as it turns a blind eye to the indiscretions of foreigners against you. The state actively works to twist and demonise the values of your forefathers, and forces your children to submit to indoctrination camps where it brainwashes them to hate themselves and to hate you. It does so deliberately because every ruling class fears Western values: mainly the values of**individual freedom**before collective identity, and of**critical thinking**. If you erroneously think that individualism is selfishness, then congratulations to the state for succeeding in your brainwashing.**Individualism is the only way to achieve meaningful solidarity through shared values**. Collectivism is meaningless submissive mindlessness by which the group defines the individual, and not the other way around. There is no meaning in Borg mentality, and where there is no meaning, there cannot be true solidarity backed by individual inspiration and will. The state is the direct antithesis to Western values. **The state commits atrocities in your name**(with your fucking money, no less), you put up with it, refuse to even entertain the possibility of social order without government, then**you presume to wonder why you are being hated**? Seriously? You tell yourself that the state can be fixed like a wife-beater’s wife keeps deluding herself, beating after beating, she can fix him. Then, you wonder why others scorn you and refuse to sympathise with you. Election after election, betrayal after betrayal, and you*still*delude yourself withdesperately hopeless hopethat you can somehow purifythe demon of the state. You can’t, and**still hanging on to the state is spitting in the face of the values that made your culture great**. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/muh-optimism https://sotiris.substack.com/p/psychological-profile-of-the-ruling You might fantasise about the magical emergence of a benevolent state ruled by incorruptible people who will somehow only want what’s best for your nation, but this has never been the case in all of human history. Wishful thinking or unfoundeddeluded hope is cowardice and defeatism, burying your head in the sand, pretending that the bad men will go away. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/doomer Western values(freedom and self-ownership) threaten positions of power; you can’t expect those in positions of power to defend Western values. Once they taste the drug of power, they want to keep it. They will do anything to fight against what threatens their position, i.e. values of freedom, individualism, self-ownership, and dignity. Don’t give me the nonsense aboutHitler, the globalist useful idiotwho led his country to the slaughter the rapists of Europe had prepared for him. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/what-are-western-values-anyway https://sotiris.substack.com/p/hitlers-economic-miracle-debunked **Erosion of Western ideals** Conquest?Conquestis not a Western ideal; it is anEastern expansionist collectivist wet dream. Westerners don’t feel proud of the atrocities of their past; they feel noble (and often self-righteous) guilt for them, as they should for any betrayal of their values. This guilt proves they don’t value empire, militarism, or totalitarianism (which all states are). https://sotiris.substack.com/p/the-roman-empire-was-socialist-addendum https://sotiris.substack.com/p/islamic-feminism-and-muslim-matriarchy It’s thebrain-dead collectivismof the false ideal of tribalistic and desperately needy “conquest” that dilutes and bastardises your ethnic identity, especially when you’re the conqueror. You expand your borders, inviting in numerous populations who rightfully hate you, and will use their righteous indignation in any way they know how against you. They will exploit their victimhood privilege, they will abuse your welfare state, they will emotionally blackmail you with guilt, using your good nature against you. If anything, being conquered fosters a victimhood-based tribal solidarity that keeps their ethic identity immune from external influences. But not yours. You, as the conqueror tribe, must be reverse-colonised by the masses you presumed to submit. In the end, you are conquered by the conquered. The irony… https://sotiris.substack.com/p/the-military-is-gay-2 Nothing erodes your national identity more than conquest, imperialism, and colonisation. Blind obedience to andcloseted worship of military daddy figures? Where is your self-reliance? Where is your integrity? Where is your dignity? Where is your commitment to your values, especially that of self-reliance? https://sotiris.substack.com/p/the-military-is-gay Ever heard of divide and conquer? No one can keep power unless there is internal struggle. This is the purpose of political parties: to polarise and agitate you while they empower the ruling class, all with your naive consent: “*This time, this candidate will do what I want against the other side!*” Yes, you are*that*naive. The fact that you still imagine that the state will somehow turn “good” as long as the “right people” find themselves in it is as delusional as believing that the stripper loves you. I’d have less trouble believing the latter. At least strippers have a heart. Yet, you rest your deludedly naive hopes on a generic political party or a cookie-cutter orator or a grifting influencer. You miss the part where you surrender your entire self-sovereignty and dignity to the apparatus of government itself: the thing that is actively and viciously labouring to erode your cultural values, dilute your ethnic identity, and vilify you in favour of your conquerors. Why do you do that to yourself? **The state propagandises foreigners to hate you and feel entitled to your apologetic subservience**. Then, it invites them, transports them, feeds them, accommodates them, funds them, and grants them**victimhood privileges at your expense**. It**criminalises your dissent**as you pay to be oppressed, and thus**you sacrifice your children’s future for those who will see your children exploited and oppressed or worse**. What’s wrong with you? Yes, states throughout history have indeed promoted vague national sentiments… but only before they exploited those sentiments to send their people out to die in ditches far away from home for petty political interests, not an actual threat to their own. Naive plebs bought the state’s false calls for “national defence,” so they left their families back home to starve, to be raped, and to be brutalised. And after the war was over, the people were made to discard their opportune national sentiment, feel guilty about it, and then become tolerant, diverse, and apologetic for all the world’s problems. Don’t you see, you naive, useful fool? Don’t you see that it’s the apparatus of government, and your deluded need in it, that are the devils of your story? **The state hates your values** People in power are always corrupt or will become corrupted by it. Power always corrupts those who hold it, especially those who seek it beforehand. It is not in the power-hungry’s best interest to eliminate the boogeymen that keep them in power. At best, they only change the boogeymen’s masks. If the state ever did remove the “threats” that win for it the submission of its people, then the people would wonder why they needed government in the first place. The state has every reason to deny your values because classical Western values are a threat to statism. Philosophy, critical thinking, individualism, self-reliance… what state can survive a population immersed in them? This is why Western states need**the deception of democracy**: the scam that gaslighted those who value freedom to falsely believe that “slavery with extra steps” is somehow freedom. It’s not. Other cultures don’t need this gaslighting; they are fine with overt totalitarianism. But the state’s desperate need for the scam of democracy goes to show that the West has always valued freedom. It also shows that**the state needs your permission to exist**. And you hand it naively. You don’t need the state. You never did. Scared little children need their daddy, which is why every government keeps propagandising its people with scary bedtime stories (the 8 o’clock news, and now, the entire media industrial complex). The more immature and terrified you are, the more you believe you need to be governed… by the worst people imaginable, no less. **Statelessness can save the West** Western cultures emerged spontaneously before passports and border control, yet you assume all these government policies will save you. This blinds you to the fact that your false saviour, the state, is in fact your doom. The state is the one granting passports to those it propagandised to hate you. The state defies its own border policies, raping you every time you use an airport while rolling out the red carpet for welfare abusers landing on your beaches. The state cripples you financially so that can’t afford a family, then it redistributes your money to those with lower standards to have kids at the expense of your own. And you don’t even feel the slightest bit angry? Are you OK? The greatest enemy of your nation is your own government, the barbarians within the walls. There is no greater enemy. If you fall for his tricks, then guess what, you have shot yourself in the foot. And then you have the gall to expect your culture to survive? Have you proven worthy of keeping the legacy you were given? Or do you kowtow behind bamboozling political clowns who keep dangling that carrot in front of you, and you keep pulling the cart as a pitiful donkey? And then the predictable question arises:*“But how will we defend our nation against aggressive out-groups?”* Really? Shiloh Hendrixmade through decentralised means and voluntary solidarity more than half a million dollars (as of today) for being cancelled by those**trained by your government to hate you**(on your dime, no less). Imagine how, in the absence of a state that hates you, your community would get together and respond to a real threat, as long as it wasn’t paralysed in its crippling child-like reliance on the state for protection. https://www.bitchute.com/video/IKWaP4CPaD8 The US, the greatest empire and the greatest military by far in history… and it can’t and won’t protect you, you noble fool. It’s time to leave the house and learn to protect yourself. Your abusive step-daddy, the state, doesn’t care about you; he will keep abusing you as long as you let him. The prostitute believes she needs a pimp to protect her. But who will protect her from the pimp? If anything, by surrendering to the pimp, she exposes herself to even more abuses. The state is the pimp. The prostitute is you. **The irony** People who value their ethnic background often mock the oikophobic “progressive” left for its deluded entitlements. Yet they suffer from the same: they demand that their civilisation is saved when they, with their willing empowerment of the state, are directly complicit in their civilisation’s demise. For all the Westerners’ boasting of philosophy and critical thinking, they fail to see how they miss the true meaning of**Plato’s allegory of the cave**, the shadows cast by the state on their 80-inch wall screens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave Your ancestors would not be proud of you.

Do not presume to value or speak for Plato, Socrates, Epictetus, Aristotle, or Zenon of Citium if you still cannot at least criticise the existence of**the unnecessary evil of government**. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/government-is-an-unnecessary-evil **The bottom line** If you value your ethnic identity, you cannot (not ever) place any faith in the apparatus of government, no matter which sweet-talking snake orator is on stage. The two-party false political paradigm is there to give you false hope that things will improve once your political subgroup gets the reins of the beast of government. And when “your side” gets in charge, it makes up all the world’s excuses for why it didn’t improve things, and keeps feeding you more and more hope until next time, in 8 years from now, maybe even 12, or who knows…. Years, decades, centuries pass, and the state remains, playing**good-cop-bad-cop**with its fake WWE micropolitics, with political parties pretending to fight over minor issues, while the big issue -your undignified willing enslavement- is never addressed. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/you-are-a-slave You naive noble… they use your good nature against you. It’s time tolet go of your deluded hopeinthe devil of the state. You’ve been selling your soul to it long enough, bamboozled by its promises that never materialise, while your dignity and integrity are being raped by it daily. Do not fool yourself. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/losing-hope-part-2 https://sotiris.substack.com/p/why-you-want-government You’ve grown up now — you don’t needauthorityfigures anymore. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/authority-is-a-bluff As the state grows like a cancer, it eats away at Western identity: one innocent soul and one child’s life at a time. You, I, we are complicit in this. The barbarians have secretly crashed the gates and now present themselves as your saviours. If you still cannot see through theshadows on the wallof statism, then the gods will punish you for your idiocy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave Divinitydoes not suffer fools. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/what-is-god If you still cannot see how a society can be orderly, peaceful, and safe without a state, I don’t blame you. We cannot conceive anything beyond the shadows on the wall if they are the only thing we have ever seen. I urge you to at least try to turn your head around to see the source of the lie and see beyond it.Learnabout statelessness,voluntaryism, and how incentive-based systems of decentralised self-governance are better, more efficient, and more moral than any state could ever hope to be. https://sotiris.substack.com/p/reading-lists https://sotiris.substack.com/t/voluntaryism If you still shill for your rapist, the state, and still kiss the hand that flogs you, then not only have you not earned your culture’s survival, but you have willingly renounced it. ***Government is an unnecessary evil.*** ***You need government as much as a whore needs a hustler and pimp.*** Thank you for reading.
