“U.S. Department of Homeland Security DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on X: “I toured the CECOT, El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW.
If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison.“”

America is a parody

Title: The Degradation of War in the Modern World Tags: #Heroism #SpiritualWar #Degeneration #Evola #Tradition

1. Heroism as the Justification of War – War awakens the latent hero within man, transcending the banality of material existence. A single heroic moment outweighs a lifetime of bourgeois comfort.
   
2. Traditional Hierarchy – True order is structured by the four castes: serfs, bourgeoisie, warriors, and spiritual elite. The West’s decline mirrors the usurpation of power by lower castes.
   
3. Sacred War versus Modern War – Ancient war was sacred (Roman rites, Nordic Valhalla). Modern war is profane, reduced to bourgeois nationalism or proletarian class struggle.
   
4. The Warrior Aristocracy – The noble caste waged war for honor and transcendence, not material gain. Their decline heralded the rise of mercantile values.
   
5. Crusades as Spiritual Combat – The knightly orders embodied the synthesis of asceticism and warfare, fighting for a “heavenly fief,” not territory.
   
6. Islamic Jihad – Greater and Lesser – True jihad integrates external battle with inner mastery, a concept lost in modern distortions.
   
7. Bhagavad Gita’s Metaphysics – Arjuna’s duty as a warrior is sacred action without attachment, seeing beyond life and death.
   
8. Modern Pacifism as Decadence – The denial of war’s spiritual dimension reflects the West’s surrender to weakness and materialism.
   
9. The Need for Sacred Restoration – Only by reclaiming war’s transcendent meaning can the West resist total dissolution.
   
10. America as the Anti-Tradition – The U.S. embodies the final stage of decay: a rootless, deracinated parody of order, where even “strength” is a hollow spectacle (for example, political posturing over El Salvador’s prisons).
    Conclusion: The modern world laughs at heroism because it has forgotten the sacred. Until war is again seen as a path to the divine, the joke will remain on us.

The Spiritual Justification of War: Heroism and Tradition

The primary principle justifying war on a human level is heroism. War awakens the latent hero within man, shattering the monotony of comfortable existence and offering a transcendent understanding of life in the face of death. A single heroic moment outweighs an entire lifetime of mundane urban existence. This spiritual dimension counterbalances the destructive aspects of war emphasized by materialistic pacifism. War affirms the relativity of human life and the right of a “higher than life” principle, embodying an anti-materialist and spiritual value.

The Traditional Hierarchy and the Four Castes

Traditional civilizations were structured around a fourfold hierarchy: serfs, bourgeoisie, warrior aristocracy, and spiritual authority. These castes were not arbitrary divisions but reflected innate natures and vocations. A true hierarchy arises when the lower modes of life naturally depend on and participate in the higher, with the spiritual principle as the supreme reference.

The West’s decline follows an involutive process: sacred-aristocratic states gave way to warrior-monarchies, then bourgeois-capitalist oligarchies, and finally proletarian collectivism (Bolshevism). Each phase corresponds to a degradation of the ruling caste’s principle.

The Degradation of War

War’s meaning shifts according to the dominant caste:
1. Spiritual Caste: War as a sacred path, a means of supernatural realization (for example, “holy war”).
2. Warrior Aristocracy: War for honor, loyalty, and the pleasure of combat.
3. Bourgeoisie: War reduced to material interests, nationalistic or economic motives.
4. Serfs (Proletariat): War as class struggle, devoid of higher meaning (for example, Lenin’s “world revolution”).

True heroism requires war to be both a means (for collective ends) and an end (for individual spiritual realization). Only then does war attain its highest value.

Roman and Nordic Traditions of Heroic War

The ancient Romans saw war as a sacred act, governed by auguries and rites. Victory was attributed not to human prowess but to divine forces. The triumphator embodied Jupiter, symbolizing the transfiguration of the warrior into a divine instrument.

Nordic tradition held that death in battle granted access to Valhalla, where heroes join Odin’s eternal struggle against cosmic darkness. Similar concepts appear in Celtic, Persian, and Islamic traditions, where war is a path to immortality.

The Medieval Synthesis: Crusades as Holy War

The Crusades were not merely religious conflicts but manifestations of heroic spirituality. Knights fought not for earthly gain but for a “heavenly fief,” transcending national and material interests. The orders of Templars and Hospitallers embodied this ascetic-warrior ideal, merging discipline and sacred combat.

Islamic Jihad: The Greater and Lesser Holy War

Islam distinguishes between:
– The lesser jihad (external war against infidels).
– The greater jihad (internal war against base instincts).
The true warrior integrates both, fighting outwardly while mastering himself inwardly.

The Bhagavad Gita: Metaphysics of War

In the Gita, Krishna instructs Arjuna that the warrior’s duty is to act without attachment, seeing beyond life and death. The “enemy” is not merely external but also internal—the passions that bind the soul. True war is a sacrifice, a divine instrumentality.

Conclusion: War as a Sacred Path

Across traditions, war’s highest form is spiritual combat, where the hero becomes a vessel of transcendent forces. This stands in stark contrast to modern pacifism and materialist degradation. The task today is to restore war’s sacred dimension, aligning it with the eternal principles of hierarchy and heroism.
