Beyond Liberalism

No Apologies China's rise is nothing to apologize for! We stand against the monopolar hegemony of the Liberal World Order of the Atlanticist West and in so doing, form our own hegemony based on our own values. We are not sorry about this!

THE SOCIOLOGY OF NAZI RACE SCIENCE by The Facifist There is a common belief today that Nazi race science embraced the concept of “scientific racism” (also referred to as “race realism”), which was prevalent in the intellectual circles of liberal democracies like England, France, and the United States. It is often claimed that the decline of scientific racism in the latter half of the 20th century was partly due to its association with Nazism, which had fallen out of favor. However, this notion is misleading. The most striking irony is that the rejection of scientific racism as a “pseudoscience” in the 21st century did not originate from progressive liberal thinkers in the latter part of the 20th century, but rather from National Socialist intellectuals in the 1930s. The Nazis viewed the core ideas of scientific racism as a means to uphold the “supremacy of the bourgeois spirit” and to “fortify its (liberal) hegemony”. READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

We must study this vile Jewish technique of emptying garble pails full of the vilest slanders and defamations from hundreds and hundreds of sources at once, suddenly and as if by magic, on the clean garments of honourable men, if we are fully to appreciate the entire menace represented by these scoundrels of the press. He will poke into the most secret family affairs and not rest until his truffle-searching instinct digs up some miserable incident which is calculated to finish off the unfortunate victim… it must be borne in the mind that this rabble never acts out of motives which might seem credible or even understandable to the rest of humanity.

The comprehension of the world relies on intellectual elements like time, space, and causality. However, these elements portray the world as phenomena (multiple objects in parallel and succession in terms of time and space) rather than revealing it as a substance, challenging Kant's perspective. Schopenhauer, aligning with Kant, sees everything as representations. He objectively examines them, even considering one's body as a starting point for understanding the world. In essence, the body is merely a representation. Schopenhauer contemplates these representations in the objective aspects of time, space, and causality, emphasizing that his viewpoint is not conceptual. Similar to Kant, Schopenhauer asserts that the world can be understood through experience. The graspable world, in this context, is not the actuality but the phenomenon, the conceptual world. Rejecting idealistic philosophies like Hegel's, Schopenhauer aims to understand the world through will rather than reason. According to him, reason is a brain phenomenon limited by the will: a byproduct of the will. Therefore, understanding the world requires approaching it through will, not reason. Schopenhauer argues that intellect, the capacity for human cognitive activity, is limited and originates from the will. The will objectifies through various things, and the world objectified by the will is termed the world of representation. The existence of the world as a will beyond time, space, and causality constraints can be confirmed through our bodies. Experiencing the world as will happens not through the subjectivity-objectivity distinction but through intuition and contemplation. (6)

Schopenhauer published the revolutionary philosophical work 'The World as Will and Representation.' Rejecting traditional rationalism and metaphysics prevalent in European thought, the young philosopher delved into the existential rawness hidden by reason. The book posed a direct challenge to eminent figures in conceptual philosophy like Hegel and Fichte. However, Schopenhauer's deconstructionist approach, focusing on the 'life' of living beings with bodies instead of metaphysical concepts was unconventional for his time, and philosophers did not express much interest.

Schopenhauer embraced the innate, dynamic force of life and argued that profound understanding cannot be attained through reason and science. Influenced by Eastern philosophies such as Hinduism and Buddhism, he introduced these concepts to Europe, stressing that "life is suffering, and this world is the worst of all worlds." He underscored the necessity of ethical and psychological detachment for overcoming this suffering. One of Schopenhauer's notable qualities lies in his outright rejection of any 'sugarcoating' regarding life and the world. He doesn't aim to provide solace; instead, he compels individuals to confront the inherent darkness of life and the irrationality of the world at its core. The strength of Schopenhauer's writings lies in his sharp and outspoken critique. Despite being a flawed individual, much like everyone else, he amplifies his personal contradictions and hypocrisy to offer a profoundly transparent perception of realities such as money, love, sex, honor, success, friendship, art, human relationships, social life, family, health, and power.

Schopenhauer devoted effort to analyzing the roots of suffering and finding remedies. He proposed using art as a means to heal life. In addition to endorsing the endurance of suffering and ascetic practices, he introduced psychological concepts such as the attitude of contemplative acceptance ('Gelassenheit'), the analgesic effect of voluntary resignation, and the management of compassion ('Mitgefühl'). Compassion involves enduring desires without being blindly swayed by them, recognizing pain as a shared human experience rather than an individual burden. His aphorisms find resonance with contemporary individuals. Expressions like "Living involves enduring pain," "Our unhappiness stems from an inability to be alone," "Heaven offers only tranquility," and "Wisdom seeks a state without pain, not pleasure," convey a different sentiment compared to the encouragement found in today's self-help literature. Influenced by Kant and influencing Nietzsche, Schopenhauer's current message ultimately revolves around 'escaping' from encountered suffering. (3)

The attraction of young individuals to Schopenhauer appears rooted in their perception of being immersed in a swamp of suffering. The stress initially experienced in job-related pursuits and career advancements eventually shifts to the challenges posed by marriage and property ownership. These layers of experiences, with their overlaps, refractions, and reflections, make it challenging for the mind to find repose and peace. Pursuing wealth and recognition necessitates unavoidable competition, and attempting to evade the hardships of competition results in a life that feels incredibly monotonous. The reluctance to admit defeat suggests an excessive exertion of willpower. The ongoing discourse on achieving a balance between work and life and leading a meaningful existence reflects a shared inclination to find solace in Schopenhauer's philosophy. It appears that everyone seeks some form of reassurance. (2)

𝔏𝔦𝔣𝔢 𝔩𝔢𝔰𝔰𝔬𝔫𝔰 𝔤𝔦𝔳𝔢𝔫 𝔟𝔶 𝔖𝔠𝔥𝔬𝔭𝔢𝔫𝔥𝔞𝔲𝔢𝔯 ✍️ Schopenhauer, often referred to as the 'philosopher of suffering,' developed a philosophical outlook deeply connected to the struggles of his solitary life. Unlike traditional theories such as epistemology or conceptualism, he focused academically on the inherent pains and difficulties of existence. At the core of his ponderings was the question, 'Why does life entail so much suffering?' According to him, suffering arises from both an 'excess of will' and a 'lack of will.' Excessive desires make fulfillment challenging, causing distress. On the other hand, even in a state of satisfaction, the absence of new desires can lead to monotony and dissatisfaction, resulting in another form of torment. Discovering the equilibrium point becomes an ongoing and relentless experience of suffering. Schopenhauer contended that even if attempts to escape suffering prove successful, the nature of suffering only transforms, reflecting a pessimistic worldview. (1)

An Example of Postmodern Architecture Constructed from 1978 to 1983 in Noisy-le-Grand, a suburb located ten miles east of Paris, Les Espaces d'Abraxas is an architectural complex designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill. This striking ensemble of buildings is a prominent example of postmodern architecture, featuring grand, monumental structures that combine residential apartments with public spaces. The design includes dramatic forms, such as the circular courtyard seen in the image, and integrates green spaces to create a unique urban environment. Les Espaces d'Abraxas has been used as a filming location for several movies, including "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay," due to its distinctive and futuristic appearance.

Interviewing Dante by The Fascifist Despite the misleading title, this is an interview I had with the infamous Dante on Telegram. We discussed various topics including origins, mythology, substance ontology, the importance of good faith and integrity in productive discussions and why and how we share so much overlap despite being antithetical to each other in various ways. The interview is quite spontaneous and unscripted.
