You're a kind Soul, Mirimir, and for this I am grateful.
We not only have a right to own our thoughts, but some consider it a sacred
duty.
PC (politically correct) censorship, and worse, self censorship, is the usually
tacit, often explicit, consent to censorship.
This is consent to the "social Marxists" being in control of what words we may
use, and therefore as explained a few times now, what thoughts are permissible.
Such is dictatorship, plain and simple.
In other words this is obviously the death of independent thought.
And _that_ is the ultimate death of the individual, in that we all become now
compelled to comply with the new orthodoxy, under threat of personal attack,
the threat of society wide disintegration, and on the micro scale, the threat
of being accused of "hurting" some "poor, damaged, uniquely fragile" individual.
This all is a sort of penultimate rapture of narcissism, where the individual
reigns so supreme, that he dictates acceptable speech (and therefore thought)
for all, thus erasing all individuality and ensuring the homogeneity of all.
This last is of course impossible in practice, but that never stopped the
unthinking from being led in their lust for power and control from
belligerently attempting to destroy all if they don't get their way. Quite
literally "temper tantrums" of (psychologically) 4 year olds, in adult
"university educated" bodies. Such is of course an utter disgrace and blight
on the Western "education" system.
And this existential battle of ideology (and truly too, a battle of wills) is
heightened to its apex as the "liberal" world empire implodes on itself for
want of an enemy (really, go back and read Dugin if you skipped over him - as
Dr. Jordan Peterson states, knowledge is power).
Dugin highlights the fundamental paucity of substance in what we think of as
the "liberal world order" or "liberal" ideology: "liberalism" as we know it in
the West is sadly lived as the negative 'freedom from'. For example:
- freedom _from_ communism
- freedom _from_ fascism
- freedom _from_ "the suffocating social construct of gender"
- etc
As Dugin highlights, this "freedom from" is inherently negative, a "liberation"
from this or that "evil", and so when the USSR fell, the End of History began,
and with it, the inherent end of this negative "liberal"ism, since it had
vanquished all enemies, we had been freed "from" the worst evils (the
anti-liberalism (supposedly) of Russia's communism). Which is entirely ironic,
as The End of History being caused by the demise of all liberalismi's
"enemies", is simultaneously the end of that which opposes those "enemies",
i.e. the very "liberalism" which succeeded (as it is a negative ("freedom
from") in nature). Negative (freedom from) liberalism, cannot exist without an
enemy to fight to the death and liberate us from. This normally would all be
rather funny, except the present society wide consequences (for whatever
superficial and other causes), are very significant, there is quite possibly
great danger immediately ahead - so, we must tread very carefully.
In this present penultimate insanity, all who fail to uphold the "freedom from"
dogma of the day, are heathens, infidels who must be sacrificed on the alter of
the Social Justice Cathedral.
Historically, the literal death of infidels follows in short order, by the
guns, torture and murder done by a dictator and his regime. We must tread
carefully.
The "4th political theory" which Dugin begins to put forth is ironically at
once both an opposite of "liberalism and the glory of the individual", and yet
it is also very similar and the term used "dasein" speaks directly to the
_beingness_ of the individual! This is quite existential (!), yet admits of
all aspects (and all needs) of the experience of the individual, rather than
the eternally pithy "freedom _from_ some bad dogma 'out there'".
Note however that dasein is wrt a positive and not a negative "individuality"
or rather "experience of" - where the reality of the individual, his beingness,
becomes central to some new "way" or "ideology": dasein (/ 4th political
theory) is finally a truly existential construct, not the oh so superficial
narcissism of the "negative freedoms _from_" which "liberalism" (as we
unfortunately call it) supposedly "frees" us from.
This is why today, with the phoenix of modern Russia just starting to rise
again from her Western "king hits" coma she was in, we can say with no irony at
all:
Russia is simultaneously both more conservative,
AND more liberal,
than the West today (~2020).
This is a stunning observation which Dugin's clarity (as small a seedling as it
is) assists us in observing and comprehending. No small feat, that.
The "liberal" West does in fact, in a very existential way, need Russia, not
only as a counterpoint to our own (collective) evil and looming insanity, but
as that star on the horizon guiding us from the pit we dug ourselves into;
Russia is a construct of not only history, culture and family ("conservative"
values which truth be told, most humans deeply crave) but is a philosophical
construct to liberate us from liberalism, into a wholistic environment without
which the individual is truly enslaved to his independence and individuality:
- "independence" is truly an illusion, as we are intimately co-dependant on
one another for technology, food, love and connection
- "individual" means "I-divide-u-all" or "in separation, I am divided from you
all"
We crave, no we need love and connection, not separation - or we go quite
literally insane and then we attempt to fill this gaping void (which maximal
"individuality" rips inside of us) by going shopping, purchasing something to
make us happy, fill the void, which of course no "thing" can ever do...
