Metaphysics of War



“The fundamental principle underlying all justifications of war, from the point of view of human personality, is ‘heroism’. War, it is said, offers man the opportunity to awaken the hero who sleeps within him. War breaks the routine of comfortable life; by means of its severe ordeals, it offers a transfiguring knowledge of life, life according to death. The moment the individual succeeds in living as a hero, even if it is the final moment of his earthly life, weighs infinitely more on the scale of values than a protracted existence spent consuming monotonously among the trivialities of cities. From a spiritual point of view, these possibilities make up for the negative and destructive tendencies of war, which are one-sidedly and tendentiously highlighted by pacifist materialism. War makes one realize the relativity of human life and therefore also the law of a ‘more-than-life’, and thus war has always an anti-materialist value, a spiritual value.”

Loyalty

Bild
From "The SS Leadership Guide" (1934) Manly virtues determine the basic direction of our way of life, first of all loyalty. We best understand loyalty through the feeling in our blood. This feeling tells us clearly what loyalty is. Loyalty is lack of deception. Loyalty means action and inaction without deception. It demands reliability and maintenance through action and inaction, so that the trusted one is not deceived. It demands pursuit of the goal with complete seriousness and devotion. Whoever is loyal does not have to swear it twice. Loyalty is like a banner that goes in front of the following. Behind the flag also march those who have not stood by it under fire. That cannot be otherwise. They will nonetheless know what they owe to the flag. But those others, who on quiet soles sneak into the column of victors returning from battle, cannot know it. They were not loyal to their cause and they cannot be loyal to our cause. They seek refuge for their wretchedness or ...

The Reichsfolk Declaration

Bild
Reichsfolk is committed to presenting the truthful reality of National-Socialism. The truth is that National-Socialism is an idealistic and noble way of life based upon the principles of honour, reason, fairness, loyalty, duty to one's own people, and to Nature, and respect for and understanding of other cultures and other ways of life. Reichsfolk is committed to introducing others to the civilized reality of National-Socialism, and to striving to implement the idealism of National-Socialism in practical ways, through civilized, cultured, reasonable means, without using any kind of force or coercion. It should also be made clear that the kind of National-Socialism that Reichsfolk seeks to establish - and all pure, genuine, National-Socialist organizations seek to establish - is a civilized and rational National-Socialism that rejects and opposes any kind of oppression, subjugation and intolerance toward others on account of culture, belief or race. Reichsfolk also opens its a...

A baby is born, a hero to be

Bild
  By Hugh Mulqueeney The boy Setantae was always destined for great things. The boy who is later re-named CU CHULAINN is the Greatest, most famous man to have ever walked the Emerald Isle. The Druid CATHUB predicted a warrior who took up arms on the day directed would be "...famous among the men of Eriu and that stories of him would be told forever...", perhaps CU CHULAINN is more famous now than he ever has been before, he is known the world over by people as foreign to him as a deer is to a salmon. An inkling of the boys future Greatness can be spied in the tale of his birth as I shall now relate thus: Once when Conchubur and the Chieftains of the Ulaid were at Emuin Macha, a flock of birds did frequent the plain yonder where they did graze til not anything remained to clothe the Earth. The Ulaid were distressed to see the land devastated as it was, so they decided to drive the birds away, as it was their custom to hunt birds. So they did harness nine...
