Something from 2015

Radicalization is but a dysphemism for uncompromising individuation – because society cannot tolerate uncomp-romising individuation.

Society is founded on conformity. Why? Because it can otherwise not exist. Society must to some degree oppress individuality in order to function – and from this compromise, we get civilization. Society cannot handle the full bloom of individuality because it is a potential threat to the stability of its very foundation. Because by the point the truly personal essence has become manifest in the warrior human, and when it has begun working for its own completion, there is no stopping to it: with every spade of soil the human digs, a larger and larger heap of rubble accumulates, as if building a barricade against the world, and with every spade of soil, a deeper and deeper hole of introspection emerges, a hole to hide in, a mole's nest, a Hira of the soul.

As you build your bulwark against the world, you erect your own mausoleum in the process.

I dare say that the maximization of individuality breeds fanaticism, and there can be almost no stopping to it given it is authentic. Authenticity constitutes the strongest human capital and it is its worthiest resource, but four potential banes I can identify that might stop the authenticization of the individual in its tracks:

1. one can regress existentially through suicide. Either a heroic one, a tragic one or a pathetic one (or likely some multifaceted combination);

2. secondly, one might become killed, destroyed by a stronger enemy;

3. thirdly, one can submit out of weakness to willful capitulation to simple and comfortable conformity (a slow and exponential bloodletting of the spiritual body);

4. and as for the fourth, some debilitating misfortune of accidence may strike your path (often beyond the scope of our direct control).

(But only from these obstacles of existence might the monolithic Panzer IV of the Lord’s army get stuck in the Rasputitsa of the world!)
