there is no alternative to the "certainty" provided by the left hand path to politics and philosophy, there is no possible articulation of any possible alternative that can provide you with the same sense of psychological certainty as materialism, and that is exactly the point

the alternative to materialism is not "some other theory" that provides the same psychological comfort, it's not another *kind* of the same thing, but with different attributes, or a different inner nature. scientism, materialism, enlightenment, modernism: psycholical "certainty"

"we KNOW as a FACT that history behaves in X Y and Z ways", "this NECESSITATES communist endgame", etc. you can't articulate a reactionary "version" of a vision of the future that provides that same certainty, validated by an external non-personal "mode of being" or mindset

and that is exactly the point. the right hand path is not "grasping" the "certain knowledge of systems and history, to infer etc etc etc", but "letting go", as the primary psychological core

letting go of the need for ultimatism, universalism, the "all encompassing view of all things", and adressing things practically, from the human view. localist pragmatism vs universalist utopianism

lying in bed at night i reflected on the fact that 9 months ago i had the absolute certainty that i currently feel about the upcoming winter power troubles, that I would be in prison right now. and im not currently in prison

im wrong about a lot of things

but i think it wasnt too far off. if europe has proven anything in the past two years its that if one country does anything, the rest of them follow in lemming lockstep, and if austria had gone through with the hard mandates, it would have spread

people have asked for an explenation for how every single country in the world addopted the same policies, as an alternative to primitive conspiracy. how about, social democracy is a system that is expressly designed to mitigate responsibility

in a social democratic "international community", if one government does something, YOU HAVE to do the same thing, everyone else HAS to mimick it. otherwise you stand out and have to be responsible for your choice, and you are forcing them to do the same
