Sacrifice

We will know the authentic aristocracy by the pain that they endure

This week I had the pleasure of talking to Konsequent Frei, whom I met at The Witan earlier this year. We discussed sacrifice, aristocracy, and mensur - the tradition of ritualized dueling that survives in many European academic fraternities. You can find the discussion here; I hope you enjoy. There’s a short introduction in German, but the conversation itself is in English.

To give context to the discussion, below I am including a short excerpt of the talk that I gave at the event. Perhaps in time, the recording will be released. If so, I will pass it on.

A man will not make terrible sacrifices for a movement if he does not observe leadership doing the same. He will not run into the fray for a general that is holding back.

Without the rise of a culture of self-sacrifice and service to one’s brothers - the underpinnings of a true, united, real-world tribe - the Right will not manifest its dreams of action.
