Only the Good and Courageous Get ‘Radicalized’

The political “radicalisation” toward so-called “far-right” positions is overwhelmingly blamed on propaganda emanating from the internet or cult-like behavioural modification conducted in person, the infamous ‘Pathways’ game can attest to this. While propaganda does indeed play a role and people already possessing “far-right” beliefs do also, you have to already have something inside of you. This is the part where most people would anticipate the delivery of a negative psychological trait to explain what this “something” is, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not a negative trait nor is it wholly psychological.

Since the dawn of the internet we have experienced an uptick in beliefs that are nationalist and beyond. No longer are such beliefs limited to the fringe, to subcultures regarded as outcasts of society. Today, a run-of-the-mill, well-adjusted family man or woman can possess those beliefs. They can, for all intents and purposes, be radicals of the “far-right”. The question is why? What’s changed? Put simply, our access to information regarding immoral deeds that are committed—and have been committed—by politicians, immigrants, businessmen, corporations, government agencies et al. has never been more unrestricted. A working American man reads about election rigging and a satanic CSA network of which many politicians, businessmen and celebrities are members of? They change. An English mother discovers that politicians and police facilitated the rape of British girls for Muslims? They change. A young Frenchman learns that Antifa killed one of his countrymen protecting French women? They change. Why is that? Why do some people change upon being exposed to this information and others do not?

The answer is that the people that do change have their perceptions altered because they are good people, i.e. they have a strong sense of justice, honour, etiquette, loyalty and so forth. When such people learn of abuse, treachery, deceit and avarice they are disgusted, angry, self-conscious enough to know that their emotions, strings of thought and possible actions are natural and psychologically healthy—virtuous enough to overcome the temptation of cowardice. However, this innate goodness that exists in some people can be a double-edged sword.

“Radicalisation”, in the context discussed herein, is a good thing. It means you hold within you great character that is fuelled by passion, vitality and virtue, but that passion can lead you down questionable paths that drop you into the lairs of agent provocateurs, satanists and misanthropic cults if you’re not careful. This has happened to a few people, a few good men and women of decent character. It is something that has brought down well-meaning organisations from within in the past, but this is what happens when hubris overrides those previously mentioned qualities that define “good”.

[Thankfully, as a result of many decent nationalist organisations successfully organising, this aberrant pipeline to corruption is now rarely travelled. If anything, nationalist organisations and Active Clubs have contributed to the decrease in so-called ‘nihilistic violent extremism’ (NVE), offering a path for the disaffected, left behind white male youth to channel their emotions and grievances productively.]

The Cup of Pythagoras was a clever device invented for the purpose of teaching moderation. Should a person have filled the cup with too much wine, a concealed hydraulic mechanism would spill the contents either onto the floor or the person holding the cup, concluding in the drinker losing both the wine they started out with and the extra wine they wanted in the immediacy of the moment. It was said that the cup reflects the ideals of hubris and Nemesis in Greek philosophy. It is verily a lesson that can be applied to a great many things in life, especially the consumption of information which is likely to “challenge” your inhibitions. With concerns to political radicalisation, the Pythagorean cup doesn’t teach you to moderate your views to the point of centrism; instead, it teaches you to consume as much information as you desire provided you take your time, finish consuming the information that is already in your cup before adding more, and stop consuming when you notice that you’re starting to turn into a bit of a bollocks, i.e. threatening to violate those prior mentioned qualities that delineate “good”.

In finalisation, it is true that only the good and courageous get “radicalised” to the “far-right”, but too much “radicalisation” too quickly, in consequence of overexposure to information that produces negative emotions, leads to forsaking the warning of hubris and the consequent invoking of Nemesis, concluding in a high probability of corruption and ruin. It would be thus dutiful to remember the words of Virgil on this matter: “facilis descensus Averno” (the descent to hell is easy).
