Dominique Venner, A Samurai of the West: A Handbook for Dissidents (trans. Alexander Raynor), Arktos Media, 2025, 205 pp., $17.96 (softcover)
Dominique Venner was a French activist, historian, and essayist, who died on May 21, 2013. He walked up to the altar of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, dropped to one knee, and shot himself.
His suicide note read, in part:
. . . . I love life and expect nothing beyond it, except the perpetuation of my race and my spirit. Yet, at the evening of this life, facing immense perils for my French and European homeland, I feel the duty to act while I still have the strength. . . .
I give myself death to awaken slumbering consciousnesses. . . . While I defend the identity of all peoples in their homelands, I rebel against the crime aimed at the replacement of our populations. . . .
The full suicide note is included in this new translation of what Venner called a breviary — “a collection of writings, reflections, and examples to which one can refer each day to nourish one’s thought, acts, and life” — that he said was “written by a European for Europeans.”
Alain de Benoist, who wrote the foreword, calls it “an invitation to become who we are . . . . an outstretched hand to lead us to the peaks, where the air is crisper, where forms become clearer, where panoramas reveal themselves and stakes become visible.” Anyone can profitably read this book, but it is primarily for men — men who love Europe and who are prepared to fight for it.
Dominique Venner was born in 1935, the son of an architect who was deeply conservative and nationalist. As Venner later wrote about his youth: “Everything was moving in a violent and unexpected way. Everything seemed possible. I wanted to be part of it.” On his 18th birthday, he volunteered for the army to fight the insurgency in Algeria. He returned to France and joined the nationalist group Jeune Nation. In 1956, with other members, he stormed and burned the headquarters of the French Communist Party in Paris in protest against the Soviet suppression of the Hungarian Revolution.
Venner was determined to reverse Charles de Gaulle’s decision to grant Algeria independence. He was arrested as part of a foiled plot to invade the Élysée Palace and assassinate the President. He was found guilty of “crimes against the state” and sent to prison for 18 months.
On his release, Venner gave up direct action but never regretted what he had done: “Without the radical militancy of my youth, without the hopes, disappointments, failed plots, prison, failures, without this exciting and cruel experience, I would never have become the meditative historian that I am.”
He wrote more than 50 books, including histories of the Russian civil war and of the Pétain era, a study of Ernst Jünger, and even a history of the American Civil War. A Samurai of the West was his last book, published posthumously. He completed it in the winter of 2012, with his suicide very much in mind. A friend reported that his “voluntary death” had been “long contemplated, meticulously prepared, and serenely carried out.”
In his translator’s note, Alexander Raynor writes that this book is “a message to those of us still living: remember who you are, and fight for what remains of our civilization before it is extinguished forever.” Mr. Raynor adds: “What once seemed like isolated voices of dissent have now become a chorus of defiance. The counter offensive for the survival of European civilization has begun.”
Venner never lost hope that Europe would survive. He was not a Spenglerian who believed in inevitable civilizational decline. He despised what the continent had become but Europe itself still lived: “What perishes are the apparent forms, such as political or religious institutions. But the roots of civilizations are practically indestructible as long as the people who were their matrix have not disappeared.”
Rebirth requires struggle, but Venner proposed nothing concrete, warning only that “politics has its own rules, which are not those of ethics.” To those who try to change laws, governments, and presidents, he wrote: “whatever your action, your priority must be to cultivate in yourself, each day, like an inaugural invocation, an indestructible faith in the permanence of European tradition.” As a handbook for dissidents, as Venner called this book in the subtitle, it makes stringent demands.
Degenerate Europe
The dispossession of Europe was, for Venner, an unspeakable horror, made possible only because Europe had become “a cowardly, amnesiac, shapeless, and guilt-ridden ensemble, seeking to protect itself from the violence of the barbarians through imploring and vile flattery.”
He was furious that in societies where the people allegedly rule, no one ever asked if Europeans wanted to be replaced. “Such is the reality of democracy,” he wrote, “that offers choices only between trifles.” The problem lay in a belief in Europe’s “universal vocation” to build “a supposed world culture” from which no one may be excluded. Europeans forgot that peoples are infinitely variable and that “only their animality is universal.”
And what is this “world culture”? A denial of everything ancient, beautiful, or heroic that makes Europeans who they are. Venner despised what “the Lords of our decadence” have built: “a world of sex, fun, and money” that accepts anyone, so long as he submits.
The “world culture” worships a new god called GDP, a perpetual-motion machine of economic growth, “dependent on the consumption of useless goods.” “In order to live better, one should perhaps consume less,” he wrote, and “free oneself from the madness of waste, from the consumerist drug.” Consumption alone could destroy Europe, because no society will ever voluntarily choose to consume less, and reckless exploitation will wreck the planet.
At the same time, “beauty has deserted our lives to shut itself away in museums.” Despite dazzling advances in technology, public buildings and art have become just as ugly as the “haggard and motley crowds” — both European and foreign — who swarm Europe’s streets.
Venner had other hatreds: Same-sex marriage was “an unbearable attack on one of the ultimate foundations of our civilization.” “Marriage is the union of a man and a woman with a view to procreation.”
What a man should be
In a degenerate world, Venner asked, “How can one not be a rebel?” On the cover of this book is the 1513 engraving by Albrecht Dürer called Knight, Death and the Devil. Venner calls the knight “the most famous rebel of Western art,” and he well understood rebellion:
The courage of a radical opponent in a period of civil war requires a nerve that makes that of the heroes of regular war pale. The latter received their legitimacy and the satisfactions of glory from society. Conversely, the radical opponent must draw his justifications from himself, confront general reprobation, the aversion of the great number, and a repression without brilliance. . . .
The rebel is in intimate relationship with legitimacy. He defines himself against what he perceives as illegitimate. Faced with imposture or sacrilege, he is to himself his own law by fidelity to trampled legitimacy.
These words have special meaning to some of us.
Rebellion is, for the most part, the work of men — the kind of men feared by feminism, which both denigrates virility and destroys femininity. Venner probably never heard the term “toxic masculinity,” but he understood the foolishness behind it:
The masculine alone [it is said] would engender a world of brutality and death. The feminine alone — that’s our world: fathers have disappeared, children have become capricious, soft, tyrannical little monsters. Criminals are not guilty parties, but victims or sick people who must be coddled. Psychologists multiply.
Venner unapologetically talked of the requirement that men be aware of “the horizon of war:” “The presence, even veiled, of war is what gives meaning and poetry to a society. . . . The erasure of war from the horizon of our history has led to the disappearance of masculinity.”
When not in actual combat, a man should always be aware of the potential for violence. He knows what is worth dying for, and is confident he would choose death when that is the honorable choice. Men should be physically fit and have a knowledge of combat sports.
However, Venner also lauded what he called “a feminine heroism that is not that of war. The daily heroism of women . . . is what conventional discourse speaks of least. And yet one must be blind not to see it behind the energy that is needed for the constant tasks that ensure the perpetual rebirth of life and are the essence of femininity.”
When Venner was in Algeria, war was present, not on the horizon. He admired the “supreme skill” of men such as paratroop colonel of the Third Colonial Parachute Regiment Marcel Bigeard, whose method for inspiring total loyalty was “to demand everything while offering in exchange only suffering and death.”
Venner quotes a journalist’s assessment of Bigeard and his men:
Fascists and paras refuse the suffering of the Christian religion because it represents a submission to a divine will. The Christian accepts suffering; Bigeard seeks it. He goes to it proudly, not with humility. Accepted suffering brings the Christian closer to his God; sought suffering makes the fascist a god.
Christianity
Venner devoted many pages of this book to Christianity, which he appreciated, but only as part of European history. He was not a believer, but he chose to end his life in Notre-Dame Cathedral, “which I respect and admire, she who was built by the genius of my ancestors on more ancient places of worship, recalling our immemorial origins.”
Venner had more sympathy with the spirit of the “more ancient places of worship,” and saw Christianity as an alien and dangerous accretion to the essential nature of his people: “If Europeans have been able to accept the unthinkable [replacement] for so long, it is because they have been destroyed from within by a very ancient culture of guilt and compassion.” He also wrote of Christian universalism that makes Europeans “undergo invasion as something normal, which the ruling oligarchies themselves have proclaimed desirable and beneficial.”
Venner noted that Jean Raspail, in his novel The Camp of the Saints also warned that Christianity crushes the spirit needed to defend the West. Venner also quoted the French political philosopher Pierre Manent: “Christianity has introduced an unprecedented gap between what men do and what they say. . . . the Christian Word asks men to love what they naturally hate — their enemies — and to hate what they naturally love — themselves.”
Venner wrote of prominent French intellectuals who abandoned the faith:
They had left Christianity, as one frees oneself from a foreign system, to rediscover the spiritual universe of their origins. A universe that had begun before them and would continue after.
Venner marveled at the doctrinal fights of the early church:
The religion of love . . . produced among its own an inexpiable hatred over questions that seem futile or incomprehensible to our eyes. It is in the blood and ashes of heresiarchs, amid terrible tearing, that the official doctrine was thus constructed.
Venner also criticized Christianity because there is no way to test its results — unlike governments, constitutions, and rulers: “This religion promised nothing on earth and everything in another world, of which it was the sole judge.”
Venner thought it was absurd for Rome to adopt an alien cult as the imperial religion. He notes, however, that Europeans molded it to their own traditions. Adoring Mary rescues women from the misogyny of the tempting and corrupting Eve, and the cult of the virgin was a return to pagan deities and even to fairies and sprites.
Venner also rejected what he called “Christian anthropocentrism,” as opposed to the pagan understanding that man is part of nature. He scorned the commandment of “the Jewish God:” “Be fruitful, fill the earth and subdue it.” Men should not subdue the earth, but protect it. They should honor the sacredness of springs, mountains, and woods, just as pagans do, and find any spiritual nourishment they need in the majesty of nature. Even the faith of Notre-Dame, Venner argued, is not “Judeo-Christian;” it is “Pagano-Christian.”
Apart from the faith, a church is still a haven from modernity, a place of calm, and an escape from vulgarity. Even for non-believers, an ancient and beautiful building is a monument to commitment, an expression of the European determination to build for centuries to come.
But today’s Christianity has lost its nerve. It dilutes its teachings, offers scripture à la carte, and foolishly thinks other religions are its allies. Lapsed Christians drift into cults of “the vaporous supernatural and compassion” that have the aroma of Christianity but none of its tradition of rigorous sexual, spiritual, material, or moral discipline. At the same time, “the Shoah has risen to the rank of civil religion in the West.”
Venner wrote that Communism and Fascism have no answers, and that both religion and philosophy are mute before the ultimate question: Why is there something rather than nothing?
For European man, however, “the vital feeling of belonging to a people . . . that precedes and survives him” is a kind of immortality more certain than anything promised by Christianity. “It is through history and awakened memory that I rediscover the forgotten foundations of European spirituality,” he wrote, and a man who builds on this foundation is as confident and unquestioning as a mountain or a river. “It is by deciding for oneself, truly wanting one’s destiny that one is victorious over nothingness. There is no escape from this requirement since we have only this life.”
Finally, for such men, the “meaning and poetry” of “the horizon of war” are never far off:
I rebel against the negation of French and European memory . . . Threatened like all my European brothers with perishing spiritually and historically, this memory is my most precious possession. The one on which to rely in order to be reborn.
Our founding poems
How does a European become what he is? Venner called our civilization “a unique way of being women and men in the face of life, death, love, history, destiny,” and that unique way begins with Homer. The Iliad is our first tragedy and the Odyssey our first novel:
By narrating the trials and passions of very distant ancestors . . . they tell us that our anxieties, our hopes, our sorrows, and our joys have already been lived by our predecessors, who are also young, ardent sometimes to the point of madness, yet still wise and prudent. . . .
To Europeans, the founding poet recalls that they were not born yesterday. He bequeaths them the foundation of their identity. . . . The future takes root in the memory of the past.
Venner reminds us that countless literary works of antiquity have been lost, and many have survived only in fragments. It is only because of immense, persistent veneration for Homer that we can read his poems in their entirety. At the library of Alexandria, Homer was reportedly the most studied author. When Catherine the Great founded a port city on the Black Sea in 1794 after driving out the Turks, she named it Odessa, in honor of Odysseus.
For Homer, men are not slaves to Oriental divinities who impose arbitrary morals under the threat of horrible judgement. Venner explains:
Yahweh can create, modify, or destroy as he pleases and it is only by an effect of his good will that he created laws for the universe. This idea of a creative power, anterior and superior to the order of the world, is totally foreign to Homer and to the ancient Greeks.
For them, even the gods were subject to the eternal rules of the cosmos, which are older than the gods. Venner saw this as utterly unlike the religion of Israel for which there is nothing but the will of God.
Men, therefore, are “never judged according to abstract categories of an absolute good or evil, but rather according to what is noble, generous, equitable, or unworthy and base,” they are either “beautiful or ugly, noble or vile.” There is no beauty without courtesy, or without moral and physical poise. Ethics and aesthetics therefore go together, and freedom means conformity to the rational and eternal order of nature.
Thus, “the virtues sung by Homer are not moral but aesthetic,” and he shows this by example rather than explanation. Like the best philosophers, his characters teach wisdom not by what they say but by how they live.
Achilles and Hector, Penelope and Andromache are not ancients, but models for all time: “authentic men, noble and accomplished, [who] strove for courage and sought in action the measure of their excellence, as women sought in love and self-sacrifice the light that makes them exist.”
Canto IX of the Iliad was reportedly the favorite of the Greeks. Achilles says: “The life of a man is not found again; never again does it let itself be taken or seized, from the day it has left the enclosure of his teeth.” Venner argues that mere life has no value: “It is worth only its intensity, its beauty, the breath of greatness that each man — and first in his own eyes — can give it.”
Achilles is the hero of the Iliad: “Everything in him defies death. He thinks little of it, though he knows it is near. He loves life enough to prefer its intensity to its duration.”
And yet, Venner wondered whether Homer didn’t like Hector better. The Trojan prince is deeply attached to his wife and family, fiercely loyal to his homeland and unwavering in its defense. Venner wrote it is Hector’s words that best define the martial character of European man: “I do not intend to die without struggle nor without glory, nor without some high deed whose account will reach men to come.”
In the Iliad, men are at war and their duty is clear. Men are not always at war, but they must always have a sense of proportion and of reciprocal commitment: husband and wife, chief and subordinate, city and citizens. They count on qualities that will endure. “A society that can read its future in its past is a society at rest, without anxiety,” but “when war comes . . . all the people go to the ramparts, the enemy has no ally inside.” Always, the horizon of war.
Venner wrote that Homer is especially important in degenerate times, because he is the source of authentic European tradition, “the essence of a civilization over the very long term, what resists time and survives the disturbing influences of religions, fashions, or imported ideologies.” What smothers us today is not our permanent civilization. That must be sought in the best of what the past has been bequeathed us: “Greek civilization, born with Homer, is the mother civilization of all Europe.”
The spirit of Homer could even be the key to our survival:
From having been thrown down from the dominant position that was still ours before 1914, then plunged into an abyss of negation and guilt, we are the first Europeans to be positioned before the obligation entirely to rethink our identity by returning to our authentic sources. The Antiquity that we invoke is not that of scholars. It is a living Antiquity that we have the task of reinventing.
Samurai of the West
This book gets its title from a chapter called “A Detour Through Japan.” Venner respected bushido as the ethics of a military nobility, a refined cult of dignity that had much in common with the European spirit. Until Commodore Matthew Perry opened their country in 1853, Japanese were content to live in isolation according to their own codes. Japan was technologically unprepared to face the West, but Venner argues that no country was better prepared mentally — thanks to its martial spirit.
The goal of the samurai was perfect self-mastery, much like the goal of the stoics, whom Venner admired. Unlike in Europe, where there was constant tension between Sermon-on-the-Mount Christianity and the warrior spirit, the samurai had a religion that suited him perfectly.
The warrior/Zen master believed it was “necessary to prepare for death every morning and evening, day after day. . . . Thus does one escape the anguish of living and the fear of dying.” Venner writes of kamikaze pilots who failed to turn the tide of the war, but who went willingly to their deaths. Were their deaths useless? “Only suffered death has no meaning. Willed, it has the meaning one gives it even when it is without practical utility.”
Venner saw in the kamikaze the spirit of the 47 masterless samurai who, in 1703, assured for themselves eternal glory in Japan for their loyalty unto death — painful, ritual death by seppuku. Venner likewise admired the suicide for spiritual and political reasons of the great Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima in 1970. No doubt, in their acts he saw the kind of meaning he expected to find in his own suicide.
Venner wrote that just as it was for the samurai, “learning to die well was the great affair of stoicism.” “Voluntary death” was “the philosophical act par excellence, a human privilege refused to the [immortal] gods.”
Cato the Younger’s death was one of the most famous suicides of antiquity. A staunch defender of the Roman Republic, he refused to live under what he saw as the tyranny of Julius Caesar and scorned the clemency he was offered as humiliating. “Now, I belong to myself,” he said, as he drew his sword to kill himself.

History is always unpredictable. No one alive in 1900 could have predicted the transformations, revolutions, and catastrophes of the century to come. No one could have foreseen that Europe would set off on the death march that Dominique Venner fought so hard to arrest.
He was surely right when he wrote:
A book never has the power to change the world, and it would be ridiculous to hope that it might. It is the world that changes and sometimes awaits new books. We have entered into such changes.
Just hours before he died, Dominique Venner wrote these words: “We are entering a time when words must be validated by deeds.” He lived, wrote, and died for a cause; its success or failure will be up to us.

The fall of Hitler was the fall of the white man. Since the demolition of Nazi Germany the entire white race has been brainwashed into a mass of humanitarian-egalitarian retards. Only a new order/cult based on a new morality/religion/god (Liber AL) can form the nucleus of a future racial regeneration.
“The next day, 30 April 1945, I went to Hitler in the early morning. Hitler delivered a monologue about the future. To my question what we should fight for now, he answered: ‘For the Coming Man’” –Heinz Linge; With Hitler to the End
Thus we learn from Hitler via Linge, that this present christianized-communized white humanity is degenerate/worthless & must be replaced by a new superior white bloodline.

There’s no hint of it, but I wonder if he ever figured out that parasitic Jews are the destroyers of advanced nations and cultures.
If Venner was jew wise, Taylor doesn’t know about it. We know this, because Taylor is writing positively about him.
Safest assumption is that Venner was ineffectual, like Taylor himself.
Jared Taylor: “Consumption alone could destroy Europe, because no society will ever voluntarily choose to consume less, and reckless exploitation will wreck the planet.”
Exactly! No society will ever choose the technological regression that would force it to consume less, and so unless the world’s technological system either collapses on its own or is brought down by revolutionaries, the white race, along with the entire planet, will inevitably be destroyed. The alternative is a continuation of technological “progress” that will march humanity into a transhuman future in which the white race as we know it today no longer exists, so there isn’t much time left for action.
Jared Taylor: “Just hours before he died, Dominique Venner wrote these words: “We are entering a time when words must be validated by deeds.””
Yes, talk is cheap. Bringing the technological system down requires deeds.
Jared Taylor: “Rebirth requires struggle, but Venner proposed nothing concrete, warning only that “politics has its own rules, which are not those of ethics.””
Political “struggle” won’t change anything. It can’t. It’s no wonder than that Venner proposed nothing concrete, because there is no political solution. Only a fool would think that whites will vote their way out of the self-destruction they are voluntarily bringing down upon themselves.
This is one of Taylor’s most important articles. Why? Because it shows us that ‘we’ are not alone. That ‘we’ have had antecessors. That ‘we’ have had comrades.
Who are ‘we’? With whom does Mr. Lidd claim kinship? The Commentariat? Hahaha! The howls are deafening. “That puffed up
arschloch? F**k’im! He’s no kin of mine!”
So be it.
Dominique Venner’s writings and, above all, his life and death are Ur-expressions of what a Euro-man should be at this late stage of Western civilizational decline. They have been mirrored by countless articles on TUR. They might serve as the Bible of ‘white nationalism.’
Much of the Commentariat will reject Venner’s view of Christianity. I do not.
And what of this?
The ‘people of the matrix’ are in fact disappearing. Their civilization has in fact been destroyed. Mr. Lidd has said it more than once: Only nuclear war or a natural disaster of cosmic proportions could save them.
Here is the bitterest pill of all:
With one voice Scott Ritter, Vladimir Putin, and the Commentariat howl.
EPILOGUE: What does Venner say about the U-no-hooze? We won’t learn that from Jared Taylor, will we?
I wonder if Taylor could ever come to a smidgen of a realization that no matter how eloquent, reasoned or impassioned an argument, power will never relinquish itself through understanding a plea.
When your boot is on their neck, then – AND ONLY THEN – will power understand.
Amren is an effeminate organization. It seeks to passively observe and critique, nothing more. It can never effect any real World change.
Taylor finds the concept of grabbing for power offensive and impolite yet it is the only solution to the plight he has whined on about for decades.
He sounds like a nut. At least Mishima had some fun, dressed up in fancy soldier suits and marched around with youthful admirers and shit before he offed himself.
I’ll be sure to skip Taylor’s shabbos of the month book club.
Last week, the old French film whore, this week, the Notre Dame de Paris suicide.
This sort of grasping at straws should serve as a demonstration that Christianity is definitely NOT the problem.
You are blackpilling each other. Taylor is just being himself, why bother complaining?
Wow. Two Mortal Sins with one shot. Suicide and desecration of an altar.
Pardon me if I don’t think much of the man.
Still, poor soul. Eternal Damnation. The thought chills me to the bone.
“Europe is being overrun by third world savages. I’ll go to a church and blow my brains out that’ll teach them a lesson” – Dominique Venner.
Mishima may have had some fun, but, boy, was his noble suicide a mess! It did not go as planned. There was no glory there. His assistant (called a second) didn’t sever the spinal cord properly (to prevent the head from falling off) and so then was required to kill himself, too. Etc. More blood down the line. Did we think that blood sacrifice (circumcision; crucifixion of Christ, etc.) was some kind of middle eastern religious thing? Apparently it is not.
Just about everybody’s nuts. This really is a prison planet.
Yeah, Liza, sad trombone all around. They should have put more of the slapstick in Schrader’s film. Today of course we have 4chan and AI friends to help schizoid putchists skip the preliminaries and just KYS.
>He was not a believer, but he chose to end his life in Notre-Dame Cathedral, “which I respect and admire, she who was built by the genius of my ancestors on more ancient places of worship, recalling our immemorial origins.”
Mr. Venner had neither respect nor admiration for the church, clear from his writing on the subject. He demonstrated utter contempt for Christ by desecrating a holy place in a self-righteous publicity stunt. May God have mercy on him.
“If you think one individual can’t make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room.”. — H.H. the XIV Dalai Lama
If there’s only one mosquito in the room with you, it’s easy enough to whack it, and then have a peaceful sleep. I don’t think that the XIV Dalai Lama was making his point adequately.
Hardly anyone knew who Venner was, so his dramatic death probably does not make a difference. Now, if some mainstream, well liked, well-known, politician or entertainer were to do the same, leaving a proper final letter similar to Venner’s, then, yes, I’d say that one individual might be able to make a difference. Trouble is, we would never get to see the contents of that letter.
1. History and culture can take some very strange twists and turns, Liza.
Who would have thought, standing in a muddy street in London in 1590, surrounded by oystermongers, trollops, and alewives, that English would one day be the most common language on the globe?
Who would have thought that a World War I vet, a mediocre and struggling painter, living in cheap boardinghouses in Vienna, would change the course of European history?
A historian was once asked whether the French Revolution had been a good idea or not. He replied, “It’s too soon to tell”.
You seem to be a bright girl. Why not write a “historical novel of the future”, “Les Chevaliers de Venner”, about a nationalistic terrorist group of utterly alienated French youth in, say, 2050, who start an uprising in Brittany inspired by “Saint-Martyre Venner” and his samurai-esque mystique? Stranger things have happened.
2. You can sleep with a mosquito in the room very easily if you simply don’t make a problem out of it. 20th Century Zen teacher Daiun Harada, roshi of Hosshin-ji, used to meditate outdoors on summer nights. Though mosquitoes poked him relentlessly, he made no effort to interfere with them. This was his way of practicing “Kshanti Paramita”: the “Perfection of Patience”. He became a famous Master of the Way.
I also make no effort to stop them. It is a sovereign remedy for an angry temperament. Besides, it is written:
🌿Upon the skin of Misanthrope
Mosquitoes feed at ease.
By giving blood, he’s giving hope:
Because they spread disease..
Er…I was talking about positive changes.
True, nobody would have dreamed of such a thing happening. However, he did not change the course of European history in a positive way. His efforts caused his people’s enemies to gather their forces and annihilate German and European culture. To this day, he is still considered The Most Evil Man of All Time. By the way, I am not so sure his painting are “mediocre”.
Now, about them mosquitoes. I have indeed tried camping outdoors on summer nights a few times. Never again. I don’t consider it a sign of good mental health to lie there and receive hundreds of painful bites. You say that this is a sovereign remedy for an angry temperament. Maybe so, the “lord” works in mysterious ways, but it’s a hell of a treatment! By the way, who wrote that cute little 4-line verse?
Thanks for the compliment. If I had a talent for writing, I’d sure write such a novel as you suggest. 🙂
Suicide is never the answer.
Liberty or death, as Patrick Henry said, is the way.
Venner had admirable courage at the beginning; sadly, he ended his life, which I see no brave man in history doing.
As for Taylor, he seems wide awake on race issues, though he is curiously blind to the Kalergi Plan. He can’t figure out the JQ, that there is one group pushing for the demographic destruction of Whites.
We see he is paid well, and is trotted out by the Jewish media to be a sort of ritual chicken that they wring the neck of, kind of like how actor Trump was selected to be as obnoxious as possible to represent Whites, to stir up as much hatred and envy of Whites as possible, paving the way for the upcoming third Jewish robbery.
The first was of the wealthiest man on earth, the Tsar of Russia, shot in cold blood with his family. Then, 40 million Russians were murdered.
Next up were the Chinese “Landlords,” whom the Jewish media trained Chinese youth to hate. 60 million Chinese were then slaughtered, and China became the greatest slave nation in world history, with 1.5 billion slaves making around $2.00 a day. You can bet Jewish manufacturers want everything made in China; nowhere else on earth can they get efficient labor that cheaply.
Real Eyes Realize Real Lies
The two articles posted daily appear to be posted at 2100 PDT. So, I’m curious how the leading comments on here were posted days ago.
It would seem to me that the top comments would be by people commenting around 2100. I’m new here, so any longtime commenters who can explain, that would be welcome.
My oh my, the coincidences. Until I was hospitalised, Ritter, Tod und Teufel hung on my wall, one of my best reproductions. These days I think of very little else but death. For the last months I have been up to the neck in French lit to escape the pain, and for the last two days buried in Taine and Michelet. Last week I reread the Iliad (Lang, Leaf and Myers 1882) looking for a sentence from Achilles. That’s enough.
Three cheers for Venner, let’s hope the book wakes more people. I’ll buy the book.
Only, one thing more he should have made clear: Europe is what it is today because of race-mixing, race-mixing that was deliberately contrived and engineered.
There are some things to be learnt from the jews. Everything is race.
Forgive the self-indulgence if you can. 🙂
Ritter and Spengler in one post.
Could not find the work in question but did a speed run summary of his on The Shock of History
A historian was once asked whether the French Revolution had been a good idea or not. He replied, “It’s too soon to tell”.
That was Zhou Enlai
Make a difference?
From the article: “Only suffered death has no meaning. Willed, it has the meaning one gives it even when it is without practical utility.”
Get it?
A revealing article by Mr. Taylor. He admires a suicide and wants the same for you.
Just fuck off with this suicidal nip LARP
Main question really , did this guy leave any children to occupy his Europe? Usually alpha males have absolutely zero time for that kind of time consuming thing. Real men learn to eat lots of shit from their woman who in turn might give them some kids as a reward. A man with 8 kids will likely have more generational influence than one who has say, none.
How did he even deal with all his (obviously abundant ) male hormone whilst in prison. Whilst reading about Yukio Mishima dressing up?.
Any body know about where his inheritance went?
Full of sound and fury , signifying nothing ?
Taylor and the subject of his essay Venner exhibit perfectly what I call ‘Dummy White Syndrome’.
The Dummy White cannot, intellectually speaking, draw a circle. Why? Because they BEGIN with an over-riding concept: their own superiority, in intelligence, power, culture, what have you. Then from that point their representation of the world begins and any evidence to the contrary of their superiority is twisted or ignored.
Venner REALLY wanted France to stay in Algeria, Algeria to remain part of France. REALLY REALLY REALLY! Let that sink in.
A man who can draw a circle would connect the huge change in French demographics to the 1830 French invasion of Algeria, the subsequent inclusion of Algeria into France as a full fledged ‘département’, the importation of native Algerians into France to do the dirty work, well before WWII. The refusal of France to grant equal rights to native Algerians after WWII, the dirty war France and Venner waged against the native Algerians, the IMPORTATION into France of Algerians when France lost (the ‘loyal’ or collaborationist, Harkis) and then, with the big economic boom of the 60’s, thousands of other native Algerians came to France.
A non dummy white would read the history and realize that white dummy France, with Venner helping out, CREATED the ‘problem’ dummy white Taylor rails against. Taylor is a dummy white opinion leader, with thousands of dummy white followers, who cannot draw a circle.
I have already written about some of the things mentioned in the text but it was not well received. I have already said that Europeans would sooner disappear than find out where the roots of their civilization, culture, language and mythology are.
Unfortunately, this was also the case with Venner, who died without knowing it. Even 20-30 years ago, Europeans could not see the essence of the events in the Balkans, for which Assange said that the future always comes to Serbia first. They settled on a false mainstream narrative and effectively cut the branch they were sitting on.
Kosovo, with its 2000 churches and monasteries, was taken away because of Bondsteel and now Europeans are surprised when desolate and frozen Greenland came next. Denmark still does not know that its name came from Serbian word, but they were the first to recognize the separation of Kosovo from Serbia.
What is the tragedy of Venner?
He guessed where to look for the beginnings – “Pagano-Christian.” I have already written that among the Serbs, who were the first to accept Christianity and where the word pagan originated, a synergy of ‘paganism‘ and Christianity developed.
True.
True, but unfortunately Europeans know nothing about their ancestors and it does not concern them.
True.
True, almost all my comments are dedicated to this.
It is no coincidence that both were Serbs and that Catherine knew it.
Very wrong, that is the tragedy of Venner. Homer was not Greek, nor were the Iliad and the Odyssey Greek epics (even the term Greek did not exist then). That is why I have asked a dozen times – when did the (future) Greeks come to Europe? That answer would reveal an invisible part of the iceberg of European history.
Exactly. That is what I have attempted on this site, but daily sensationalism and superficiality have not allowed me to do so.
The problem with all this replacement worry is that the far off peoples complained about are not invading Europe. It really is not like what Mexico is doing in the US.
Europe’s long history of colonization in which promises were made and not kept is a real thing. The complaint that Europeans were not asked is curious as the hundreds of civilizations on the Continent of Africa and those of Asia were not asked.
And had Europe made good on their promises — that of treating their colonies as their own people — the matter would be less intense.
However, one can certainly agree that if you emigre to Europe, then by all means know, what you left behind should be considered left behind. Your new home is now your new home and it is expected that you bend to that. If not go back to where you came from.
Jared you are not one of us.You are fooling noone.
So others have to solve the problem/s for you…
The Bushido code as a unified, formalized concept is largely a modern creation, primarily from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
1) Historical Roots: The ideals (loyalty, courage, honor) existed for centuries, scattered in the teachings of samurai houses, Confucian texts, and Zen Buddhism. There was no single, written “Bushido Code” that all samurai followed.
2) The Key Writer: The modern version was crystallized and popularized internationally by Nitobe Inazō in his 1899 book Bushido: The Soul of Japan, written in English to explain Japan to the West.
3) Timeline & Purpose: This was published after the samurai class had been abolished (1870s). It served to provide Japan with a unifying national ethos and a moral equivalent to European chivalry during its rapid modernization and imperial expansion.
In short, the “code” was systemized after the age of the samurai had ended, transforming diverse warrior values into a retroactive national tradition.
Hope this helps.
Reality:
The historical event is well-documented. In 1701, a lord named Asano Naganori was provoked into drawing his sword in the shogun’s palace (a capital offense) and was ordered to commit seppuku. His samurai became rōnin (masterless). After a meticulous year-long plot, 47 of them avenged him by killing the court official, Kira Yoshinaka, whom they held responsible. They were then ordered to commit seppuku for the crime of murder.
Key Truths:
Their goal was revenge, not “loyalty unto death” from the outset. Their famous seppuku was the state-mandated punishment for their crime, which they accepted with honor. They did not originally plan a suicide mission.
It was controversial at the time. While popular with the public, many contemporary Confucian scholars criticized them for putting feudal loyalty above the law of the state.
The story was transformed into a national myth over the following centuries through kabuki plays and storytelling, emphasizing loyalty and self-sacrifice over its complex legal and political realities.
Conclusion: The “real truth” is that the statement is an ideological projection, not historical fact.
Historically, the 47 Rōnin sought successful revenge, not death. Their deaths were a punitive consequence.
Ideologically, in 20th-century militarist Japan and to certain foreign observers like Venner, their story was retrofitted to serve as a direct, glorious precursor to the kamikaze, emphasizing a purified, fatalistic loyalty.
The connection is a powerful piece of nationalist mythology, created by stripping both the kamikaze and the ancient story of their complex contexts to forge a simple, compelling narrative of sacrifice for the nation. It tells us more about the needs of Japan in the 1940s (and the romantic ideals of certain Western thinkers) than about the actual spirit of the samurai in 1703.

Apparently, there were a lot of those gloire types in 1942; so-called (or should I say soi disant) “right wingers” or “conservatives” who, when AH fought to give them the chance to address all those problems they had been bellyaching about, suddenly became “patriots” and refused to “collaborate” with the filthy Huns. Fat lot of good it did them.
Celine had the right idea: he upbraided Jünger (another malingerer and traitor, swanning around Paris in his uniform like Mishima, too good to support the “lower class” Nazzies) for not doing enough to get rid of the Jews now that they had the chance. “I have the names, the addresses, here they are, round them up!”

It is significative that Venner is foreign to the world of economics, precisely to the world where the enemy has allies inside the city behind its walls, inside ourselves. He is obsolete in fighting the new war, whose economic and financial order is based upon chrematistics, i.e. the vice of the exchange according to Aristote, and not any longer on bartering. His historic research followed the sword, as a world specialist of weapons. It did not follow gold, whereas he should have followed both paths, since prosperity creates might, and might devours prosperity. In the oriental world, he would have been a confucianist not a sheer taoist. The Tao is a feminine Holy Spirit, as Max Kaltenmark rightly wrote, and virtue, the Tö is grace, understood as Pamalas and Grigory IInd of Cyprus, i. e. in manifestation and theory. The crusader’s real cradle is Anselm of Canterbury’s satisfaction, which is an avatar of the Talion law. Grasping the wou wei is what matters since peace, real peace and not differed war, rests upon the conjunction of the energies of the earth and of the heavens within royal humanity. Anthropology has two spaces, not only one. Kantorowicz’s king’s two bodies show that the sacred is within. Only God is above the cossack in the saddle on the steppe. Writing that “only God is stronger…” as Dugin did, misses the whole point. And the point is that the filioque has forever made the western knight a provincial of grace. Emile Burnouf’s isomorphic continuity of the Sacred Vase did not pursue its true fiery path through Rome, transformed in a mafia den by the Pepinides. No. As Jean-Louis Bernard hinted correctly, some waters of the old river of fire went to the oriental christianity. The filiation of the fire of the spirit went to the oriental christianity. The teutonic frenzy in its north crusade, (see Ericsson), was definitely tamed by Alexander Nevsky on the frozen lake. No more Drang nach Östen in order to man the western latifundia with displaced slaves. Hence the New Worlds. Nevsky said that “God is not in strength, but in truth”. He meant the Spirit of Truth, grace, Tai Tö, the real force behind the sword. Venner never fought the Kursk battle. He did not understand how to win in Kursk with the angels. Palamas’s Triades for the Defense of the Holy Hezychasts was a too difficult read for him, as well as for all the omphalopsychiatrists of old and present. The matter is never to return to the ex-ante, but to create new forms suitable to internal fire.

Another French Humanist come and gone, gone straight to hell. Those heathen Humanists are nothing but tools of the Jews.
However, Venner’s life was not a complete waste. He had a wife and children and some grandchildren.
Things have gotten much worse in France since he killed himself in 2013. It accomplished nothing.

Nothing good comes from Jewvision.
Have never owned one in my life. What a wonderful place America would be if 90% of the nation didn’t have a Jew living with them.
Then what he Venner do? A man who, in his own words said:
“I feel the duty to act while I still have the strength. . . .”
“I give myself death to awaken slumbering consciousnesses. . . . While I defend the identity of all peoples in their homelands, I rebel against the crime aimed at the replacement of our populations. . . .”
Venner went into a church and shot himself to death.
Why didn’t Venner, while he still had the strength, do a little research and pick out one of the many radical mosques in France and blow away its radical jihad-preaching imam along with his most radical ISIS-loving, male, jihadi followers? Or at least shoot a convicted Muslim rapist or two, or three, or four after they served their laughably minimal sentences? Before committing suicide he could have removed some genuine Muslim scum from Europe.
Venner, while he still had the strength, could have made a genuine difference in the Muslim mindset (oh shit! they’re fighting back!”) in France by eliminating some of the most radical Muslims within his country. Instead, he helped them by offing himself as some sort of warped grand act of defiance that only rid France of him and not a single violent Muslim. If Venner was a serious man, he would have left his suicide note on a pile of radical-Muslim corpses and then shot himself.
Wear a conspicuous gold chain around your neck and walk down any street in the Muslim part of any large European city and Muslim trouble will quickly come to you. Venner could have at least done that while carrying his gun and took a young Muslim punk or two out of Europe for good.
But voting is the only rebellion some will ever be a part of. Maybe a lot. Rebelling is hard work you know, and it could interrupt the normally scheduled television, and they can’t have that.
It says clearly that this article was posted on January 8, a week ago. It’s just that it wasn’t promoted to the front page until today. This often happens. You need to look under each author to see their latest offering and comment there.
Well he was a romantic but we agree on one thing. Christianity will be the end of our race. Christianity is the ultimate source of our zealous universalism.
Well done, Jared Taylor. Very inspiring.
The notes on war are especially apropos given the genocidal attack on our people from our so called leaders and from the alien menace they’ve brought here to replace us.
The war is here. Fight or die a coward’s death.
You Europeans talk some heavy shit.
Jewvision is fine. Just use AI to replace Bigsby’s face with yours and it will be great. 🙂
There is your clue that Venner knew: :
Venner was 78 at the time of his death – and chose the time and place – he didn’t want to cling to life defecating on himself confined to a bed. What a brave and courageous act. He had struggled all his life, left a grand legacy and was an underappreciated intellectual giant for Western Man.
As the good Dr. Morgan notes – in time Industrial Civilization will collapse (it’s a finite planet with finite resources) – and the great die-off will commence which will be Hell on Earth for those unfortunate to survive it – it will sort out the dilemmas which exist today and the survivors will begin anew with a cooperative Agrarian society – and the group most adapted to that is the White Europeans.
What do you think all the fighting is about? It’s about dwindling high quality resources necessary to maintain Industrial Civilization -which requires enormous amounts of energy to fuel 8 billion plus Humans wanting to live like Kings and engage in extravagant conspicuous consumption. The death of Industrial Civilization powered by Jew money is unfolding before your eyes.
Are some of the Young rebelling? YES! Now is the time for their struggle – Vox Day is one of the great Warriors who would make Venner proud – hitting hard with facts and mathematics, see his most recent book:
Dominique Venner was a warrior – Honor him!
https://youtube.com/shorts/34MnO40FDR0?si=VYn7b9oEawrYWb_C
The irony is that Venner decorates his opinions with icons of the ancient past like Homer that Christianity itself arose from, as if Christianity in Europe were the antithesis rather than fruition of that pagan culture. He was also writing as a beneficiary of Christendom’s and not paganism’s past.
If you want to go back in time, it was the Scholastics who gave the world, de novo, the conceptual tools and vocabulary necessary for science to flourish. Naturally the enemies of Christ claim his Church was the enemy of science when it was, in truth, the source.
The article criticizes Christ’s teaching to love one’s neighbor as oneself and then praises self-love that’s the antithesis of the warrior culture being fantasized as escapism rather than practice. It’s hardly Christianity that’s turned today’s men into voyeurs rather than warriors, but it’s rejection.
If anyone takes it to the streets to meet the atheistic Left head on, it’ll be men who are followers of Christ, not daydreamers whose pagan fantasies likely conceal a different motivation, which is non serviam.
This right here is why whites are losing, will keep on losing, and will likely end up in the dustbin of history.
Here’s a guy who’s one of the loudest, most articulate proponents of white identity and white interests, but you dismiss him out of hand because he doesn’t hate jews enough.
This is exactly why the Democrats are in so much trouble. When you impose ‘purity tests’, you inevitably alienate potential allies, which is a sure path to irrelevance and defeat.
lol. “Jewish continuity”? What’s that? The primary continuity I see in authentic Judaism is Moses, the Prophets, and Jesus of Nazareth tongue-lashing or physically annihilating the kike mob. Ancient Israel was built on the blood of wannabe worldly kikes who couldn’t leave the jew fold because they’d been brainwashed by the Tribe.
In other words, the “modern Jew” is functionally schizophrenics.
This is why the Christian story emphasizes that Jesus Christ was a quasi-particularist Jew done in by the schizophrenic particularist/worldly (ie money grubbing) jew mob. Christendom was birthed by the inherent contradictions and the tension between particular and the universal.
That’s why Jesus Christ is God, because he knowingly reconciled the two by his own blood.
These violent and backward, nuclear-armed kikes want Christ’s universal moral authority, but they don’t understand why he has universal moral authority, nor do they want to understand. Nor does any other kike-like creature or primitive.
That’s why I think a reasonable case can be made for the total destruction of any “faith”/ideology that viciously denies Christ’s proven godhood (proven by his embrace of his own bloodshed by these shizo jews), and particularly the “faith” of the jewish mob and their trash Talmud, which explicitly condemns and curses Jesus Christ for the very fact that he showed them up to be insane and self-destructive and deadly to the most advanced humanity, and on a grand canvass.
And he did so to advance humanity further and further, into the great wide open… into “God”.
To hell with these jews, and to hell with their stooges.
What vile hatred you spew of the late great Bridgette Bardot who loved her own people and wanted France to remain French.
As for “Christianity” – what flavor are you claiming to be of “no problem”? Judeo-Christianity IS the problem – Identity, not so much. But the youth are waking up – and the spirit of Patrick Henry is rising!

A suicide negates the life of the one who chose to end it. The life is gone and a negative connotation is imparted to all that they proclaimed in life. Venner was no one other than some unimportant writing. Taylor hopes to escape the unimportant author designation. He’s not there yet.
Agreed.
Christians (right and left) make up rules as they go along–and then accuse you of not understanding what God wants.
It is the ultimate insanity.
We would be better off if they worshiped Holy Unicorns.
Then at least the Christians might figure out they needed to keep it simple and take their own side.
Not quite correct. The plan from the start had been for Morita to kill himself after having delivered the coup de grace to Mishima. Also, ‘second’ is from western dueling, and not an equivalent term.
Morita, as you say, made a mess of it, so one of the other three had to step in to deliver the decapitating strike. The ideal was near-total decapitation, but leaving the head hanging from the body, not just ‘severing the spinal cord’. The other three had all been ordered to stay alive, which they did. At least into the early 2010s, they still had some political influence.
I still like the film by Schrader; it had a great structure: four cycles of biographical scene, beautifully staged scene from a novel, and scene from his last day. The film does include scenes that are not to his credit, faking illness to avoid wartime service, the bad reactions to his speech from the balcony.
I tried to find the video of his debate at Tokyo University, which used to be easy, to post it here. U-tube these days makes many videos that are actually in the public domain no longer available. Schrader re-creates it quite well, although the students at the actual event were more hostile.
Schrader’s film was banned in Japan for some years at the request of Mishima’s widow.
In the late 2010s I read that Hollywood was planning a remake, between the writer’s ‘strike’ and coronamania, it never proceeded, which is great.
That many Japanese literati of the time continued to believe that Mishima was really a leftist even after he set up his toy-soldier army is quite a good joke on the leftist literati.
Too long a comment already, but for those whining that Taylor never raises the J.Q., he does so at least twice in this essay/review.
The fall of Hitler was the fall of the white man. Since the demolition of Nazi Germany the entire white race has been brainwashed into a mass of humanitarian-egalitarian retards.
The Austrian watercolor painter who started the war by splitting a Catholic nation with a Communist. A Catholic nation led by an anti-Communist who unlike Hitler had actually fought them in battle.
Then he headed West to put over 100k Frenchmen in graves.
What a guy.
Nothing says you like White people by killing them in large numbers.
Now in comes our resident Hitler defenders to tell us about how the watercolor painter was forced by Jews or Freemasons to kill Catholic priests and march Catholic women into slave camps.
Then there are the few hundred thousand German women that were needlessly raped by the Red Army because Hitler wouldn’t surrender in 1944. He knew they would be raped and didn’t care as he was just a world class asshole who was angry over a weird sexual medical condition.
Not really a joking matter. Jewvision has been a primary source for corruption and indoctrination for 100 years. But, the simple are easily amused, and many love folly and hate wisdom. Doubtful you use those words, and so we see your values.
Are you a Christian lauding suicide? That’s a paradox.
Murdering oneself is the worst crime.
I wonder who will take you seriously with your handle.
The JQ is central to every question. Only simpletons dismiss it as “hatred of Jews.”
“The fall of Hitler was the fall of the white man.”
Nah. The fall of the white man can very easily be traced at least as far back as the rise of the British East India monarch-granted monopoly resulting in a militaristic corporate state much more powerful than the monarchy, its promoter, supporter, protector and guarantor.
Screw suicide. If he had really wanted to walk his talk he would have strapped bombs around his midsection, gone to his perceived enemies’ hangout and blown them all to smithereens along with himself. Why waste all that courage, intelligence, reckoning and such by just solitarily snuffing it out? I don’t get it.
https://www.unz.com/jtaylor/loyal-unto-death/#comment-7460765
A very interesting article. I was struck by this sentence at the end:
The death march, however, was perfectly predictable, a point that those who lament the invasion of other races rarely reflect on. After a century or more of European and American domination of countries that supplied them with fruits and oil, it was perfectly predictable that the peoples of these regions, finding themselves in poverty-stricken dictatorships, would immigrate to the countries of their oppressors. This is what is happening today. When did the big migration from Mexico begin? When Nafta killed off small-plot farmers. If Europe and America had required democracy and a bit of even-handed economic development of their minions, they could have kept their lilly-white status for much longer. What goes round, comes round.
Agree. I wouldn’t have bothered to post below if I’d read yours first. Thanks.
I don’t think Venner was speaking of finding a solution within the political systems existing today. A revolution that fights the current political order and destroys it is still “politics.”
When Venner warned,” politics has its own rules, which are not those of ethics,” I believe he meant if we wish to succeed to restore the greatness of our people, we must be willing to do whatever is necessary, even that which is horrifying and cruel, that which very well my offend our conscience. In order to be successful, we cannot adhere to any morality (ethics) to which adherence leads to our end. The men we must be in order to give later generations the luxury of moral adherence are likely ones we might see as terrible men, but great men nonetheless. The only morality that matters today is one that sees a future for our people and a destiny that reflects our nature.
Stopping our enemies (organized jewry and its allies) will require so much more from us than we likely imagine.
That is the most rational and concrete comment I have seen you post. I hope it breaks the hypnotic girlish groupie adoration of this mental defect and the other sick people in his hierarchy.
The “Mishima” soundtrack by Philip Glass is fabulous.
France’s “Services” to the World”
Colonial administration – Redrew borders across Africa and Indochina. Left a legacy of conflicts. Still, somehow, cheese.
Exporting revolution – Guillotines, ideals of liberté, égalité, fraternité… and a few heads rolled for ambiance.
Heavy taxation – Imposed on colonies and allies alike. Complaints were politely ignored, wine was poured.
Cultural indoctrination – French language, bureaucracy, existential despair. Makes people fluent in paperwork and resentment.
Military interventions – Algeria, Syria, everywhere you didn’t ask for help. Solved nothing, exported trauma.
Diplomatic grandstanding – Interfered in monarchies and revolutions. Prestige achieved. Stability lost.
Economic extraction – Took resources, exported philosophy. Tasted better with a Camembert.
Political micromanagement – Coups, puppet governments, treaties signed in invisible ink.
Border tinkering – Arbitrary lines, perpetual grievances, occasional war. Served with a side of wine.
Culinary diplomacy – 350 cheeses, cheap wine, and Alain Delon. Forget the chaos, or try.
All this, and the world is supposed to forgive a greedy beast because its wine is cheap, its cheese is plentiful, and Alain Delon smiles. Magic, indeed.
That was my first thought too — no kids? But according to the French Wikipedia, he was married three times and had five children. This info is omitted from his bio in the English-language Wikipedia.
Never heard of Venner before but his views on religion are exactly right. The criticism of Christianity is harsh but necessary. Of course it triggers a lot of the commenters to explode in rage that Taylor won’t NTJ — the people who believe that the only way to resist Jewish Power is to worship a Jew. There is no point arguing with people who cant figure this out for themselves.
Venner’s views on war are too sanguine. Yes, from Troy to Stalingrad, warriors were the noble class of Europe. I recall some piece of (literally) Jewish propaganda being pushed on the kids in church camp some years ago, about how the invention of the atom bomb had changed the meaning of “weapons” amd made war suidal. Propaganda, yes, but are they wrong? Can France and Deutschland sharpen each other’s manhood by fighting again over Lothringen? It was too destructive by 1914, it really is unthinkable now.
Yes, of course, the Jews seek white genocide. But its too easy to blame an identifiable foreign element. The harder problem, maybe intractable is the softening of men, feminism, and democracy. Taylor understands this; he has written about the Radical Republicans. Modern Wokeness can be traced back to them. The Jews use it; they didnt invent it. (Indeed, there is little Woke about the OT).
Doc Morgan is pretty accurate unfortunately. The system is corrupt and nobody knows a way to fix it. We pray for collapse, but managed decline continues, and it is lethal.
Very simply – https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/search?q=Churchianity&m=1 – what Venner saw was churchianity – NOT Christianity!
Who would have ever thought that one Austrian in Germany would have moved to try to save the world but in doing so unknowingly destined humanity to a deeper chaos.
Felpudinho: “Why didn’t Venner, while he still had the strength, do a little research and pick out one of the many radical mosques in France and blow away its radical jihad-preaching imam along with his most radical ISIS-loving, male, jihadi followers? … If Venner was a serious man, he would have left his suicide note on a pile of radical-Muslim corpses and then shot himself.”
I suspect that even such an action wouldn’t have achieved the goal of saving the white race, although I agree with you it would have been better than nothing — or endless talk, which is the same thing as nothing. In previous remarks, I’ve suggested a method for permanently bringing down the entire world’s technological system, which in my opinion is the only thing that will work:
https://www.unz.com/jtaylor/the-future-of-christianity/?showcomments#comment-6666429
But while it has the advantage of not requiring a mass movement, that method would take a genius, or at least a small band of revolutionaries. For the non-geniuses direct action of the kind you suggest may be a good idea. From what I can see, the Unz commentariat is comprised mostly of old men, so for them, I’d propose the formation of Legio XL, Senes Morituri (Legion Forty, Old Men Who are about to Die). It’s conceivable that a few thousand old men — men who are about to die anyway, perhaps having contracted a terminal illness — each with his own list of local scum who need to be liquidated, could collectively cause enough chaos to indirectly precipitate a system collapse. This is a variation on Louis Beam’s “leaderless resistance” idea: Each dying old man and his circumstances as individual as the fingers of the hand, but all working together for the same end.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Beam
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaderless_resistance
Thanks for additional info. No, I did not know that Morita was supposed to kill himself but let’s face it, the whole suicide scene was not perfection. I suspect that many if not most of these rituals go bad. I have done some reading on this matter (after seeing the Schrader film years ago) but apparently I didn’t know everything. And thank god the remake of the film never happened.
You know, there is something kind of effeminate about this whole disembowelment in the name of honor/protest business. Commenter Three Cranes has made a good point. Do it like a man and take your enemies with you. Japanese tradition needs a reset.
Have you read about Mishima’s childhood and upbringing? If only 10 per cent is correct, he was doomed from the start.
Mon amis, we needed cheap labour and a quiet populace. That’s all did this, why are we being targeted.
Was it Hitler who started the war, or was it Churchill and International Jewry? The uproar, and calls for censorship, over Darryl Cooper in his talk with Tucker Carlson, shows that Cooper was right over the target when he said that Churchill was the worst villain of the war. Pat Buchanan came to the same conclusion in his book: “Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War.”
Having said that, I agree that Hitler should have surrendered in 1944 before the slaughter and terror bombing of German cities, i.e. Dresden, began. But megalomaniacs never know when it’s time to surrender. They take their countries down with them.
Jew Zelensky reminds me a lot of Hitler. He should have surrendered 2 years ago yet seems content to fight Russia to the bitter end, until there are no White Christian Slavs left. Unlike Hitler, Z can always go to Israel, where he’ll be granted asylum and a hero’s welcome for destroying Ukraine.
I’m beginning to think that “Mr. Crowley” is an AI bot. No human could have scanned all the articles he comments on yet always manages to be first in line. It’s almost as if Mr. Unz is gaslighting us.
Nice piece Matt real jewish pap your kosher to the end
John your so upset. another dumb pollock lover !
Why 1944 the terms were annilation then or later. shitheads like you can see that?! Guys like you have been sucking the Russian monkey ass too long. Be a man walk upright.
Like clockwork, the judeo-christian apologists slither hither, to mock a great man and sow confusion over the honourable Gesamtkunstwerk of a European hero.
Venner’s critical view regarding judeo-christianity is correct. To survive, we must cease meddling with the middle eastern stuff.
And those who will shall survive.
Those White people, who, for whatever reason, cannot, will vanish. Be it through mixing and becoming something else or by failing to seperate themselves enough from the other tribes, who never had a problem fleecing the näive but pious christian souls.
Eventually every single White bloodline will face this choice.
Suicides bring me down, a little. Not a lot because it’s not my problem. The public suicide is the consummate “look at me” act. But who cares about the Air Force guy who set himself on fire on the Ellipse a few years back? No one, even at the time. Movie magazines, I don’t read ’em. And the freaks who carry your bags up to the room!
“Meditative historian” my ass.
You talk like a talmudicsionist. Don’t believe for a second you can fool anybody. You were afraid of Hitler and you crawlers are still afraid. Hitler was not like you, no ethnicist, he believed in every countries right to selfdetermination. Thats why He fought you sionistbolshevicretards. Aand, He was a Real Christian.
I was thinking the same thing. They had it in for the Germans, period.
After that, the bold Adolf was escorted by Ian Fleming to a well-deserved retirement in Argentina. I’m currently coming to the conclusion that Adolf Hitler and National Socialism was a fraud perpetrated on the German people.
A retarded child might hypothesize that the article was first posted in a more obscure section of the website then posted to the headline top billing position. But you’re right about the 2100 PDT thing, a lot of the retarded children here haven’t figured that out.

That way, the owners of the comment section effectively control any messaging. If the messaging is some idea they don’t like, bots are unleashed to harass the commenter. This effectively prevents any unity from those who are a threat to the commenting thread’s owners goals.
Also, why not let the first commenters who post when the articles are released on here at 2100 PDT, be the first comments to appear? Why have prior comments, some posted days before, leading off the article?
Tres amusant, Monsieur!
Where to begin my riposte? The Battle of Tours?
Rene Descartes (analytic geometry), Blaise Pascal (more math), Henri Poincare (ditto). Too many scientists to mention here, like Louis Pasteur.
Hot air balloons, photography, moving pictures, oxyacetylene welding, scuba gear, The Little Prince, Realism, Impressionism, post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, croissants, parfum, lingerie!
Madame Guillotine (invented by Dr. Guillotin) was actually intended as a humane form of execution, which it is. We should bring her back (the electric chair, the gas chamber, and lethal injection are modern “improvements”, I assume).
The IS System of weights and measures (you know, grams, litres, kilopascals, etc.) is a rational decimal system employed by science throughout the world for good reasons. Quel triomphe du raison!
Vive la France! 🇨🇵
Screw suicide. If he had really wanted to walk his talk he would have strapped bombs around his midsection, gone to his perceived enemies’ hangout and blown them all to smithereens along with himself. Why waste all that courage, intelligence, reckoning and such by just solitarily snuffing it out? I don’t get it.
He viewed Christianity as the problem and the best solution he could think of what to kill himself in a church.
(slow clap)
SO THE WORLD HATES WHITES HUH? WELL TAKE THIS (blows brains out)
Now resident bitter atheists of Unz please tell us about how Christianity puts you into the service of the enemy. I await your lecture.
(eats popcorn)
You state it as if it is fact, but it is only one view.
What a freak. Is Mr. Taylor considering following suit?
As others have noted: a wasteful gesture to commit suicide without taking some enemies with you. And he seemed like a capable guy: he could probably have got a high value target.
Great to see Pagano-Christianity mentioned, but obviously no true Pagano Christian would do something as futile as kill themselves without bringing a maximum number of enemies with them.
How about that shameless Judas, Mike Johnson. He and other moral cowards like Mike Huckabee betray Christ out of fear of the Jews and then have the gall to attribute to Christian teaching justification of the Jews’ mass butchery in Gaza. They are surely as guilty before God and just as proud of the IDF butchery as the Jews.
“Oooh, the bots are after me!” Yeah, coping is hard. Especially coping with the concept that there are real normal people who think nothing of calling you out when you post nonsense. Homo cantcopeis cantcopeensis.
“Disagree-er in Sector 3! Unleash the bots!” What an idiot.
“bots are unleashed to harass the commenter. This effectively prevents any unity from those who are a threat to the commenting thread’s owners goals.” Sounds like your issue is with Mr. Unz. Why don’t you tell him he has too many bots on his website instead of posing for an imaginary audience?
HAHAHA…take me seriously? A bunch of sniveling little cunts whining about Jews on a jew-owned website?
You can’t make this shit up.
Only if you’re a profoundly retarded, conspiracy-drunk imbecile. There are 15 million Jews in the world compared to 3 Billion Indians and Chinese. And another billion in Indonesia, Pakistan and Bangladesh. And that’s leaving out ALL of Africa and South America.
But go ahead and keep focusing on the Jews, moron. The Jews are the least of your problems. The rest of the world is coming for you, dipshit, and it’s about fucking time.
One correction croissants were brought by marie Antoinette from her home Austria !!
For a man of such learning as Venner, who rejected a world ruled by God’s law revealed through Jesus Christ, he may have become focused not so much on being a Nordic warrior, but proving man can nobly become godlike himself. From Venner’s place in late life, he may have tried to show it by choosing his own hour and theatrical mode of dying.
By overcoming the fear of death, which nonbelievers wrongly assume motivates believers, the nonbeliever becomes godlike himself in that the only certainty in life, death, is in the nonbeliever’s hand, not some fanciful God’s. Quite a tragic way to live, but noble nonetheless for rejecting materialism and comfort as death of the soul.
Fascism. Juden-fascism.
The Dutch and British East Indian Companies (Corporations) were jewish/kike operations. The kike operation ended up owning the king and his court. The king and his royal luitenents became but window dressing for the kike operation. Today, the President and the Congress and the Bureaucracy and the Judiciary are but window dressing for the kike operation.
The kike operation is Judeofascism. Anti-Christ Judeofascism. Zionism. That’s why all of these rubes and animals and belly-crawling reptiles curse or deny or attempt to replicate and misconstrue Christ.
The kike is going to be consumed by the soulless mob it has cultivated. The corrupt Clergy and all the other window dressing as well.
Satan is a vile taskmaster. Only Jesus Christ has kicked his kike ass. Only Jesus Christ can kick his kike ass.
The entire universe is behind the Second Coming, and eventually will impose its will.
What’s up Fel. Just as preface, you are a commenter that I agree with more than with most others here, especially about the uselessness of the Palestinians (other than them being useful as rape-bots for youknowwho when inserted into Western Countries), so please take that into consideration when reading the rest of this:
I disagree that he should have taken a few with him. If he had, he, and all of his writings and prior efforts while alive, would be easily swept into the dustbin of evil white supremacy. At least this way, he may or may have had, possibly, an opportunity to change some minds and pull more uncertain centrists to the side of Euro descended loyalty.
Him taking out a handful of muslims would change nothing in the larger sense, but the moose limb grievance machine would gain significantly more political capital by exploiting the incident as “ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF ISLAMOPHOBIA! tm)
Trust me, here in the states (IIRC you have moved or returned to Portugal) it would be great if every last terminal boomer with nothing left to lose would go out with a bang, in the lobby of the ADL or Blackrock or the UN building, because if millions of fed up normies who really did care about their future did, then the tide might possibly turn.
This guy, whom I never heard of before today, sounds like he did more than any of us in his life to expose the great replacement crime, so for that he should be given some latitude.
I look forward to reading your comments.
And he wasn’t speaking of the French Revolution:

The trouble is that Zhou was not referring to the 1789 storming of the Bastille in a discussion with Richard Nixon during the late US president’s pioneering China visit. Zhou’s answer related to events only three years earlier – the 1968 students’ riots in Paris, according to Nixon’s interpreter at the time.

‘People in their homelands’ is the key. People and societies evolve to fit their surroundings. Human existence is brief, and time immense, but, slowly, we become one with our ‘country’ as the blackfellas here call it.
Leaving your country, in which you are fitted, to occupy another’s country, differing in climate, seasons, day lengths, night skies, flora, fauna and geography, always ends in disaster. Either the colonialist disasters of the genocides of the native peoples in the New World, Australia, and, even today, Palestine, or the mere exploitationist devastations inflicted on India, the East Indies and China, they amount to travesties.
Similarly, today, the colonisation of Europe by people forced from their homelands by Western aggression, or enticed by promises of a ‘better life’, is a disaster, with catastrophe just around the corner. Totalising cults like Islam in its worst manifestations, Judaism and various Christian fundamentalisms, and social habits like the Indian caste system, polygamy, female (and male!) genital mutilation, do NOT fit with European customs. And to make matters worse by forcing this demographic and cultural change on societies in mere decades, while politicians and alien subversives (eg the Zionazis) use the disruption to sow seeds of social discord and hatred, in familiar, if suicidal, ‘Divide and Conquer and/or Rule’ tactics, is quite literally insane, intellectually and morally.
Except this time of year. It was my mistake to say you were right. We’ll chalk it up as a typo.
I’d suppose that granting the charter which created the British East India Company was the price that James the First had to pay for the gift of the English throne.
As far as those of us in the West are concerned, dealing with the “JQ” is essential to our survival, as slim as those chances now appear. Talmudic Judaism, or what it means to be a Jew for most Jews, only came into being two hundred years after the death of Christ. The Talmud is a declaration of war against those Jews who themselves turned to Christ and the vast number of pagans like my distant ancestors who they thankfully converted.
Today’s Talmudic Judaism is a rejection of the Torah and its replacement with homo-erotic idealization of the Jewish male and concurrent demonization of the female essence as niddah, or just so much menstrual filth put there by God to pleasure the Jewish male and provide him with sons. Anyone want to argue this?
The main point, however, is that the idea of so-called Judeo-Christianity is designed to destroy Christianity by implying identification with Christ’s worst enemies, the Jews. In fact, the continued existence of real Christianity or “Judeo-Christianity” entails the elimination of one or the other from the face of this earth. So, yes, the JQ matters if anything beyond material comfort and the NFL matters.
I find the JQ to be distracting, a one size fits all argument, but I don’t discount the possibility. The fact that a lot of Jews are in position of power makes me suspect them of incompetent leadership though, considering results. Smartasses, many of them.
Your moniker is awfull though, I say that as an atheist/agnostic, LOL!
Adopted by parents who indoctrinated me in the Lutheran Church – ELCA or as Mom would say “The Loosey Lutherans” as opposed to the Missouri Synod – My Mother, likely a genetically diluted Jew was a worshiper of Jews as the Chosen, the Best and Brightest – the Future for Mankind.
Later in life I would meet Pastor Pete Peters and Richard Kelly Hoskins and learn Christian Identity – which if you’re going to believe in the OT and NT is the ONLY way to believe in ‘Christianity”. I have a Ferrar Fenton translation of the Bible which is meant for Identity folks unlike the sodomite Old English King James version or the treacherous/misleading/perfidious Scofield Bible and Dispensationalism ala Hal Lindsay ‘s “Late Great Planet Earth”, “Tribulation” and “Rapture” nonsense… A Strong’s Concordance and a Catholic Bible for the Apocrypha and the Book of Enoch for good measure.
Later in life, thanks to genetic testing I would learn that I am 100% European – NO Ashkanazi Jew (shame, otherwise I could be a dual citizen and would join the $tribe$) primarily Scandinavian and Danish – a distant cousin of Marie Antoinette (VIVE LA FRANCE) and have more Neanderthal genes than most.
Now let’s discuss this Jesus who I have doubts ever existed – and whose teachings can be twisted any way one wants them to and whose words were written in Kone Greek and were translated many different ways into English and meanings can get distorted and confused with how the translator interpreted them – but You’re sure this is THE WORD OF GOD . Not to mention that the founders of Christianity argued about what to include and exclude from the New Testament so you’re never sure what you got. BUT HEAVEN IS YOUR REWARD. Now, be a good boy.
So this God chose a bunch of stiff-necked losers as his chosen who couldn’t obey his commands so he continuously punished them over the centuries, then God decided he did them wrong, had pity and would free them from bondage – but once again they disobeyed his commands (not just the 10 known – read your Leviticus and Deuteronomy) and God punished them again, but later changed his mind and gave them another chance. Finally God had enough of giving them “just one more chance” so he devised this plan to come to Earth as a Man and sacrifice himself so you could freely sin and be forgiven so you wouldn’t burn eternally in HELL. God planned his own death aka suicide by Man – He was a willing sacrifice and you go to communion and drink his blood and eat his flesh – the word of god transmutes the wine into blood, the bread into flesh – THAT IS THE BELIEF! That is sick – you are a cannibal.
The Jews are incredulous that you fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Yet you revel in and will defend it to the bitter end. So how about a little less “Bot” talk, finger pointing, and name-calling and a lot more ACTION. Like when Jesus fashioned a cord of whips and overturned the tables of the money changers in the Temple to drive them out, or called the Cannite Woman a “DOG” akin to calling her a N*gger and discriminated against her by denying her entry into the Kingdom of Heaven because she was not from the House of Israel? Death for homosexuals! Don’t worry about your website or others – get to work!
Enjoy your heaven.
Hitler started the war on March 15, 1939, with the invasion of Czechia. Nothing which Churchill did or said was capable of causing a war without this action by Hitler.
An anonymous critic, with no criticism of substance.
Either an ignorant human or a bot, which is it?
Why are you loyal to any comment section that possibly has bots?
Why are you naive about the bot infiltration that infests every comment section?
I have objective truth on my side, you have misplaced passions, and your subjective opinion.
I assume Mr. Unz reads the comments on his website, so he is aware.
Welp, that’s all for you, I don’t interact with profane types. You shouldn’t even be in America, the first Amendment wasn’t designed for profanity.
Ignorant and profane, a common combination.
How can you not comprehend that those who own the Federal Reserve control the media, minds, and politicians? It’s common sense. Read a book, and spare the world from your ignorance, halfwit.
Merci beaucoup!
LOL-Churchill was owned by the Rothschilds and did their bidding ofc- they wanted WW2 same as WW1 both were highly profitable for them ofc
You are clueless ofc–study the Saints – you were fed Luther- a heretic Priest who married a Nun
HAHAHAHAHA…go fuck yourself, cunt.
Your anger is misplaced, but you know it. You end your comment pretending “Death for homosexuals” is the essence of Christ’s teaching when it’s the opposite. Of all the silly things to say, unless one demands acceptance of his homosexual sins and rejects Christ’s unqualified forgiveness for the same. We are all sinners, pope and people alike—that’s the place to start rebuilding our lives, not political action whose real motivation is concealing the moral failings that we all share.
He didn’t give the enemy any martyrs. The enemy has a harder time labeling him with their favorite word. Hate.
A fraud that saved the people and economy of Germany, and actually the European continent by military means…hmm no, doubt it was a fraud. The fraudsters are in City of London and in Washington. Or as Hitler said; “they are nothing but pirates and bandits”
Well spoken, Monte Cristo
No, you talmudic shitheads are the worlds and all peoples (even your own) foremost problem. Don’t believe…wait and see. And..explain/define what a ‘jew’ is..
This thought had crossed my mind, that Venner’s works would be discredited. Then again, how much good has his writings done in ridding Europe of Muslims? In his suicide note Venner could have convincingly explained that it was long past time for words, that it was time to use the only tool that Muslims understand – violence.
I’ve imagined this for years, except that the terminal old timer uses an owned pistol or rifle and not a needed-to-be-built explosive device.
A Marine Corps buddy of mine mentioned this matter when I said my last goodbye to him out in California five years ago. He had terminal cancer (a souvenir from Camp Lejeune) and had, at the time, been so pissed off with the BLM/Antifa-types tearing apart our country, that he had thought about going to where they were rioting and shooting a few of the worst of them before he got too weak. But it was just an idea, he wasn’t going to put his already-distressed wife through that ordeal. He died a few months after my visit.
But I can easily see older men: vets, avid hunters, ex cops, ironworkers, tradesmen; men without wives, men whose days are numbered, transferring all their wealth to family members then getting their favorite gun and not going gently into that good night.
If you’re 80-years-old with six months left to live taking a few of America’s worst with you might not seem like such a bad idea. In all honesty, I’m surprised that this hasn’t happened yet, especially during and since the Summer of Floyd. If it starts up, my guess is that it’ll catch on.
Well said, Sir.
Socrates’ drinking the cup of hemlock was not technically a suicide, but he did so consciously, calmly, and willingly. See “The Death of Socrates” by the great French neo-classicist painter Jacques-Louis David next time you’re in Paris. (There is an interesting book by crusading journalist I.F. Stone, also titled “The Death of Socrates”, which is well worth reading.)
More recently, please consider the Venerable Thich Quang Duc. In 1963, President of the Republic of Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem began a pogrom against the Buddhists in South Vietnam. There was an incident in which twelve Buddhists were shot by Diem’s troops. (Diem was a Catholic and his sister-in-law, Madame Nhu, the “Dragon Lady”, was to a fanatical degree.)
The Venerable Quang Duc volunteered for a “special task”. At a busy Saigon intersection in broad daylight, he sat in lotus posture, doused himself with gasoline, and lit a match. Astonishingly, he sat motionless as the flames consumed him and as women nearby prostrated themselves in worship. An American journalist, notified in advance, photographed it. The photo was on the front page of The New York Times the next day. Kennedy saw it on his desk and was thunderstruck.
How about that shameless Judas, Mike Johnson. He and other moral cowards like Mike Huckabee betray Christ out of fear of the Jews
They don’t fear the Jews.
They view themselves as God’s second most chosen people that will reign in Israel after the rapture.
America to them is merely a moral test that is destroyed by the second coming.
Which means trying to improve America is pointless and breaks the prophesy.
You are a Heretic to the Truth.
From Richard Kelly Hoskins – an honorable Man and warrior for Christ:
https://ia601302.us.archive.org/29/items/312626264HoskinsRichardKellyVigilantesOfChristendom/312626264-Hoskins-Richard-Kelly-Vigilantes-of-Christendom.pdf
If the great replacement accepts everyone provided they “submit”, then what’s the problem? There was never a European identity, as Europeans were fighting and hating each other as much as non -European tribes did each other. Perhaps more.
Consumerism as trivial and materialistic is a misnomer. A fascistic anti human trope. That people can appreciate and enjoy the beauty of physical things, man made things, is an expression of spirituality. He elevates the warrior sprit as the epitome of human life. Inflicting suffering, death violence because that the way it’s always been. He wants to believe that influx of non -Europeans is some moral existential catastrophe because he’s stuck in a narrative of a romanticized past and can’t envision dare I say, an Aquarian age brotherhood of man paradigm shift [boomer here].So, he catastrophizes the influx of non -Europeans like it’s a big deal when it’s a blip of human history and humanity. People have always mixed and migrated. That’s how civilizations cultures societies form and change.
He rejects the universalism of Christianity because he’s at his core a supremacist fool who glorifies war. He took life too seriously. What’s life about if there’s no one to hate or feel superior to and eventually war against? How reactionary, how banal, a boring prude, he who values being at one with nature deludes himself in believing that a willed suffering and death has meaning whereas an unwilled suffering and death does not. That’s his[civilized] pride talking. Nature refutes that. His problem is one of pride, rejecting Christianity though its universality is more in keeping with nature then his identitarian civilizational artifice which always changes over enough time. All humans have the same basic needs and wants. We’re all in the same predicament. That he killed himself in front of the iconic Catholic Church, may have been an act of faith or longing for faith [a prayer].
John your so upset. another dumb pollock lover !
Polish Catholics have a positive fertility rate while the dwarf dictator and his Russian totalitarian state have a birth rate at a 200 year low. The Slavic rate is actually even lower as their national rate is boosted by Muslims and randos.
But for some reason alt-right holds up the dwarf as the model and not the Poles. Not only the model but as some great state that should be celebrated as they invade their more Christian neighbor.
Not seeing any logic or reason.
Putin’s fans seem to be emotional tradcons that should be doing acid and listening to the Grateful Dead instead of pretending to be using logic.
Totalising cults like Islam in its worst manifestations, Judaism and various Christian fundamentalisms, and social habits like the Indian caste system, polygamy, female (and male!) genital mutilation, do NOT fit with European customs.
We know from DNA studies that there was a polygamous period in Europe.
Basically a small group of men impregnated a lot of women.
I don’t support legal or defacto polygamy but there was a period that was longer than Christianity.
To be clear it may not have been marriage. There may have been a period of rape and nomadic fighting.
The variance you see in Europeans may in fact be related to polygamy.
He elevates the warrior sprit as the epitome of human life. Inflicting suffering, death violence because that the way it’s always been.
Well it was that way for tens of thousands of years.
Pre-Christian Europe was a brutal time.
Life did not start in 5000 or 10,000 BC Israel.
It just didn’t. We know too much about natural history to make that believable. Young earth theory is a waste of time that needlessly embarrasses right leaning White men.
If you are White then you are the result of Europeans killing each other and breeding with captive women. You were not created in the Middle East.
His problem is one of pride, rejecting Christianity though its universality is more in keeping with nature then his identitarian civilizational artifice which always changes over enough time.
He definitely lacked a viable alternative and even a basic plan. That is an ongoing problem with secular rightists. They can spend all day bashing Christianity but then go DURR I DUNNO when asked for an alternative.
But he is right that Christianity is not in sync with nature as it tries to suppress racial and gender differences that are most likely the result of thousands of years and not a single event.
Suppressing any talk of such differences cedes complete control to liberals and allows them to create their own convenient version where nature *just so happens* to benefit their egalitarian designs. Meaning they are never challenged on their own turf. They can make up their own egalitarian evolution without any accountability. Christian conservatives have to work outside the schools and do their best dissuade White people and especially White men. It just leaves White men confused as what they were taught as children doesn’t sync up with natural history.
You cannot “bring down” the technological scaffolding of the species anymore than you can “bring down” capitalism: it is a way of life reaching all the way back to Homo habilis, not a government or discrete body that can be dismantled.
Any stage at which you or anyone else would like Homo sapiens to be fossilized in terms of its technological complement is arbitrary. And this isn’t how it works. The churn of history is not going to stop because “white people aren’t reproducing”. There is no reverse-engineering the total state of affairs. Specious way of thinking about reality.
If the white races are being made obsolete by the industrial processes some of their exponents harnessed and made available to the rest of the world, that is how things stand. A bad outcome – which is obviously inevitable now – is no counter-argument. There is no law that states history/technology must serve the interests of one extended phenotype.
Venner was a great man, but this Mishima way of going out achieves nothing. At most, it angers the establishment, which passes more laws to prevent any expression of dissent.
There is zero time, and action is meaningless. Abandon the white nationalist “monkey wrench gang” romanticism.
Like the beautiful expressions of spirituality to be found at Spencer stores, for example.
Isn’t it PST and not PDT at this time of the year?
I agree, don’t like much of his other work now, but the soundtrack is lastingly great. Especially the parts that go with the scenes from novels are so well-suited (and shaped) to match the visuals, and of course the climactic piece …
Perhaps Mr. Glass missed his true vocation.
Of course, both in his semi-autobiographical ‘novels’ and in biographies.
I agree with your conclusion.
The real scene was a bloody mess, as you say, but would not have been good for the film.
I generally like comments by Three Cranes, but when Mishima was setting up the tatenokai, his little private army, he said that it was to be a spiritual army. His action (about fifteen minutes by bicycle from my flat) really did turn things around to some extent. In cases like his, where it isn’t obligatory, the term in Japanese means ‘self-decision’.
Fairly hard-core nationalist friends in the rock scene here used to have a song ‘No Mishima, No Future’.
However, some consider his novels somewhat effeminate, from conversation, women seem to like them more than men. From women often hear ‘he was good at depicting women’, which of course ties in with your statement on his early upbringing.
You guessed correctly. It is a trademark of this French “Nouvelle Droite” (now old) to ignore the JQ. Not a word about it, ever.
Thanks.
This reminds me of a story about Hakuin Zenji which may interest you.
A samurai went to see Hakuin with a burning question: “Do heaven and hell really exist?”
Hakuin assumed an appalled expression: “You, a samurai? You have the face of a beggar!”
The samurai reached for his sword. Hakuin added: “That thing is probably too rusted and dull to cut off my head.”
Becoming enraged, he began to withdraw the blade. Hakuin said: “Here is the gate of hell.”
Understanding, the samurai replaced the blade and bowed. Hakuin said: “Here is the gate of heaven.”
Marshall Lentini: “You cannot “bring down” the technological scaffolding of the species … A bad outcome – which is obviously inevitable now – is no counter-argument. ”
I disagree and have envisioned one possible way it might be done here:

Doubtless there are many more ways. The system has thousands of vulnerabilities.
To save the white race as it currently exists, all that’s necessary is to permanently destroy high technology. Low tech — weapons such as swords and spears, for example — obviously will always be with us. Upon a collapse of the system, it’s reasonable to suppose that the various human races will separate (would YOU associate with niggers if the government didn’t force you to? LOL), and also that the ensuing period of war, famine, and epidemic disease will greatly reduce the human population of the world to much lower levels, thus saving planet Earth from ecological destruction.
To this the objection could be raised that survivors of the collpase, if any, would simply rebuild the system and the problem would return. Maybe, maybe not. Polymath Fred Hoyle argued that once destroyed, high technology can’t be rebuilt, because all the easy sources of raw materials have already been used up. Extracting items that would be essential to a reconstruction of the system such as petroleum and vital mineral ores now require high technology to obtain. If a post-collapse “dark age” lasted long enough, even the knowledge required to rebuild the system would be lost.
There are still olde-timey oil derricks and pump jacks all over southern California, so…. no.
Exactly.
What a pussy.
If you’re gonna go out that way, at least have the goddamn common courtesy to take out some of our enemies on the way.
I suppose this douchebag figured murder is bad, but suicide is ok.
Modern “liberal” Christians make me sick to my stomach.
