There is a platitude that goes, “war is old men talking and young men dying”. A simple, poignant truth. But it’s more than this, or has been in past wars. War is young men with uncommon intelligence, passion, and courage, being forced to eliminate themselves from the gene pool, while old men with low intelligence, no passion, and uncommon cowardice send them to their deaths. How many young men died in World War 1 who will never pass on the genetic traits necessary for our increased humanization? We are in the process of re-barbarization, and a large part of this probably is due to the fact that a large helping of the best that our species has produced died during some insane war over a century ago.
Consider the Civil War. The South, whatever its other faults may be, held to notions of honor and nobless oblige, and sent their highly educated sons to die before they could have children. The result is that large swaths of the South are populated by a type of person who lives not much higher than an animal. This is no different than Northern states, and doesn’t contain itself to any particular race. The lower strata of every race appears to multiply at a rate far higher than those who occupy the higher, better-bred strata.
The masses thus spawned, they then mold culture, and the future, solely by the brute force of their incredible numbers. This doesn’t even refer to minimum wage employees or manual laborers. More often than not, these unimaginative dullards find their way into white collar professions: law, politics, “influencing”. But they carry with them the central characteristics of their breeding: a desire to punish, judge, ostracize, cut down anything beautiful or becoming, to dethrone the products of culture produced by men and women of higher breeding. We saw this behavior throughout COVID hysteria, when the subsumed animal character traits emerged and trampled the world.
Hercules, Achilles, Joan of Arc, and even Christ himself are all now killed in utero, while Goliath, Cane, and Frankenstein, are brought to term. We suffer as a species for it, and our future grows darker because of it.
