You Know The Thing

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are not created equal. Not in height. Not in intelligence. Not in heart and spirit. Not even in luck. Not in any way at all. The enlightenment was wrong.

If one is born with inalienable rights, he is born with no obligation or responsibility, no need to earn or maintain those rights we hold so elevated in the west. I'd level this critique directly at Jordan Peterson's lecture on selling conservatism to youths, and the need for responsibility. In nearly the same breath he puts the enlightenment values of equality on a pedestal and topples it with a demand for responsibility. There's no need to to deconstruct this, he has defeated his own argument in making a valid point.

Its true that we require that responsibility to live a meaningful life and leave the world a better place than we found it. Where is the incentive? Is man so pure and enlightened that he will work hard and sacrifice now for the future of his own accord when endless vices and distractions are not only constantly at his fingertips but worshipped by his peers?

The post-modern religion is corporate consumership, rule of the mercantile class and merchant-kings. They can buy as many knights as they need to quash you. They can quench the masses with endless delight. They sell us our food and leverage the farms and ranches with land restriction and crop control, filling stores with convenient garbage. They buy the churches virtue and their silence so their own global cathedral may cast a shadow over all of the people of the world.

Simply look around you and ask yourself if you are equal to your fellow man. Is your culture equal to others' culture? Are any nations, even under the same union, at all equal? Is a mountain a valley? Is a forest the sea?

The West is the West.

Cast off your shackles and make yourself elite alongside your brothers.
