Ted Kaczynski was right: “a technological society HAS TO weaken family ties and local communities if it is to function efficiently." Technological progress functions as the de facto god of the modern era. It is a jealous god. It artificially modifies individuals preferences to worship its expansion at the detriment of human flourishing. "Primitive" ideas like the family, culture, and even civilization itself must be smoothed out to ensure man's sole meaning derives from progress. Ted continues: "an individual's loyalty must be first to the system and only secondarily to a small-scale community, because if the internal loyalties of small-scale communities were stronger than loyalty to the system, such communities would pursue their own advantage at the expense of the system.” Family identity grounded in folk identity presents the most powerful shield against unchecked progress –- the founding American tribes knew this. The Puritans, Pilgrims, Mennonite's, Dutch Reformed,s Moravians, Quakers, and later additions like the Mormons laid the foundation of American tradition. The total renunciation European progress and a willful integration with a primitive frontier became the American's heroic rite of passage. What we presently refer to as "civilization" is the antithesis of the world of the ancestors. Through their unity, they were able to create a parallel reality -- a " heroic age" -- in which they could ward off cultural degeneration through acetic deed. The most successful of these groups, the Mennonites and the Amish, have continued to align themselves with their ancestral ideal and have gone so far as to have created an international imperium of settlements under the sole command of their folk groups alone. We are too quick to laugh at the devout Christians for their extreme behavior, and yet they know no ill of divorce, family separation, and have nearly full autonomy of their lives." A common criticism levied against the Amish is that "We let them live here. We can drone strike them any time!" And yet not a drone has struck. A drone, in fact, has never struck, nor will one ever strike. They are divinely protected from assault in congruence with their devotion to their folk tradition. Meanwhile,we "English" suffer such profound severity that we champion our own decline as a victory. We contort reality to applaud our extinction through vaccine, invasion, divorce, and whatever bright shining blade we can find to stab ourselves more rapidly to death. Carl Jung suggests this sickness within the soul of Western man may have been the byproduct of two world wars. He writes: "The European psyche has been torn to shreds by the hellish barbarism of the war.” The final semblances of global, European hierarchy were sacrificed to the ashes, the true "burnt offering" of the 1900s. We have lost all organizational power as a result and live fully subservient to an anti civilization born from the dust. We're in the great upside down in which that word "progress" means rapid, degeneration, mandated decline. Technology has become "autonomous from the machine". It is the exact organizational principle of decline we experience now. Jaques Ellul suggests that our way of life has all been exterminated. “It was conceivable only when he literally had no environment, no family, and was not part of a group able to resist economic pressure; when he had almost no way of life left.” Divorce is likely the greatest indicator that we simply have "no way of life left". It was not enough to sacrifice our civilizations to the anti Christ. Now we must be sure we abort 1/3 of the future generations. And, for good measure, subject whatever offspring are so fortunate to survive to divorce. Modernity is an endless series of self castration rituals in which the individual is deluded to destroy himself and ruin his bloodline. The result is the forever impairment of the individual and a mandated subservience to decline as his god. Such is the behavior of an ethnically cleansed people with no identity of their own. They have no other choice but to worship the artificial world. An active, conscious return to American frontier tradition presents the remedy to combat the religion of progress. Think fondly of the ancestors and seek to replication their renunciation. Preserve the family as the highest ideal. Let us unify our folk and return to the wilds once more in an attempt to combat decline through acetic deed.
