Barbarians, Aristocrats and slaves

Here is an excerpt from Nietzsche in "Geneology of Morals":

"Who is really evil according to the meaning of the morality of [resentment] ? " In all sternness let it be answered thus:—just the good man of the other morality, just the aristocrat, the powerful one, the one who rules, but who is distorted by the venomous eye of resentfulness, into a new colour, a new meaning, a new appearance. This particular point we would be the last to deny: the man who learnt to know those "good" ones only as enemies, learnt at the same time not to know them only as "evil enemies ," and the same men who inter pares were kept so rigorously in bounds through convention, respect, custom, and gratitude, though much more through mutual vigilance and jealousy inter pares , these men who in their relations with each other find so many new ways of manifesting consideration, self-control, delicacy, loyalty, pride, and friendship, these men are in reference to what is outside their circle (where the foreign element, a foreign country , begins), not much better than beasts of prey, which have been let loose. They enjoy there freedom from all social control, they feel that in the wilderness they can give vent with impunity to that tension which is produced by enclosure and imprisonment in the peace of society, they revert to the innocence of the beast-of-prey conscience, like jubilant monsters, who perhaps come from a ghastly bout of murder, arson, rape, and torture, with bravado and a moral equanimity, as though merely some wild student's prank had been played, perfectly convinced that the poets have now an ample theme to sing and celebrate. It is impossible not to recognise at the core of all these aristocratic races the beast of prey; the magnificent blonde beast , avidly rampant for spoil and victory; this hidden core needed an outlet from time to time, the beast must get loose again, must return into the wilderness—the Roman, Arabic, German, and Japanese nobility, the Homeric heroes, the Scandinavian Vikings, are all alike in this need. It is the aristocratic races who have left the idea "Barbarian" on all the tracks in which they have marched; nay, a consciousness of this very barbarianism, and even a pride in it, manifests itself even in their highest civilisation (for example, when Pericles says to his Athenians in that celebrated funeral oration, "Our audacity has forced a way over every land and sea, rearing everywhere imperishable memorials of itself for good and for evil"). This audacity of aristocratic races, mad, absurd, and spasmodic as may be its expression; the incalculable and fantastic nature of their enterprises,—Pericles sets in special relief and glory the rathumia 4 of the Athenians, their nonchalance and contempt for safety, body, life, and comfort, their awful joy and intense delight in all destruction, in all the ecstasies of victory and cruelty,—all these features become crystallised, for those who suffered thereby in the picture of the "barbarian," of the "evil enemy," perhaps of the "Goth" and of the "Vandal." The profound, icy mistrust which the German provokes, as soon as he arrives at power,—even at the present time,—is always still an aftermath of that inextinguishable horror with which for whole centuries Europe has regarded the wrath of the blonde Teuton beast (although between the old Germans and ourselves there exists scarcely a psychological, let alone a physical, relationship). . . . Granted the truth of the theory now believed to be true, that the very essence of all civilization is to train out of man, the beast of prey, a tame and civilised animal, a domesticated animal, it follows indubitably that we must regard as the real tools of civilization all those instincts of reaction and resentment, by the help of which the aristocratic races, together with their ideals, were finally degraded and overpowered; though that has not yet come to be synonymous with saying that the bearers of those tools also represented the civilisation. It is rather the contrary that is not only probable—nay, it is palpable to-day; these bearers of vindictive instincts that have to be bottled up, these descendants of all European and non-European slavery, especially of the pre-Aryan population—these people, I say, represent the decline of humanity! These "tools of civilisation" are a disgrace to humanity, and constitute in reality more of an argument against civilisation, more of a reason why civilisation should be suspected. One may be perfectly justified in being always afraid of the blonde beast that lies at the core of all aristocratic races, and in being on one's guard: but who would not a hundred times prefer to be afraid, when one at the same time admires, than to be immune from fear, at the cost of being perpetually obsessed with the loathsome spectacle of the distorted, the dwarfed, the stunted, the envenomed?

This is talking about the "Slave Morality," which I think is hard for most Americans that aren't serious students of history to really understand. First of all this slave morality is nearly ubiquitous, so its kind of like fish trying to percieve the water. Second of all, the only concept of a slave most Americans have is that of black slavery that occured here for not even two hundred years of our history. In my opinion, there is a really no insight lended into the slave morality by observing black culture. I mean you have these "negro spirituals" and so forth, but I mean , is that black culture? I think black culture is more like what you see on BET, or MTV or just being able to observe black people, in the organic, constantly changing black culture. Its my opinion, the slave morality never really took root in black people, which seems kind of ironic. They weren't slaves long enough. The slave morality is found primarily in white people, in Europe and the United States. There are among white people, the decendents of people who have been slaves for eighteen hundreds of years.

I mean you look at the icons of black culture, even the kind of cartoonish ones, like the Pimp, the gangmember and the more postive ones like the musician and the pro-athlete and you see the antithesis of the slave morality. The only place you really see the slave morality is in democratic politicians like Jesse Jackson ans Al Sharpton. What it is is an underhanded, kind of sanctimonious morality built on the emotion resentment. And really, the whole left and by extension the democratic party, is not really the black political party. Its bigger than that. But I would say the democratic party is the slave party. Collectivism, socialism, resentment.

An interesting case in point, is that I was for a while somewhat curious about left wing politics, here in Madison. So I went to some different things. I barely encountered a single black person. But fighting racism, was one of main things anyone talked about. I remember going to a talk by an academic on the "Weather Underground" at the "Rainbow Bookstore", a left wing bookstore here in town. Everyone that showed up for the talk was white, about 60 people. Outside black people would be walking by, because it was downtown, but they gave the carryings on in there barely a second glance. One of the main topics that kept coming up was racism, even "institutional racism." Is that not a little bit strange? Racism is just somthing white people with the slave morality use to kick rich powerful white people in the balls.

I am not really that into black culture, I pretty much hate rap music. But I really like Dave Chappelle, though now that I’ve seen every single episode, its gottten kind of old. But there is this one episode, where he is parodying Bush its a skit where he is president "Black Bush" and its funny as hell. But all really good humor has a lot of truth in the joke. Its basically a skit about what it would be like if a Black guy from the Ghetto, was president, the funniest thing about it was that he would do exactly the same things Bush does. Its like if you can understand how a Pimp thinks you can understand how the Bush administration thinks!

White people that are inculcated in the slave morality and have been for generations, they can't really figure out powerful people. All these conspiracy theorists, they seldom get even close. Go down on the block talk to some black guys that have been around, they have some good insights.

These Skull and bonesmen are pimps. I am serious. They invented nuclear weapons. How bad ass is that? Can you imagine what that would be like to be in a gang and you invent nuclear weapons and rule the world? That is atavistic. That is primal. Carnal.

I have this book "The 48 laws of Power" by Robert Greene. I am not 100% sure, but I think this guy is black. Maybe not. One thing I do know is that this book is huge in Hip Hop circles, from what I understand. Its an interesting book. He talks about all these great conquerers and Kings and military leaders and how they play the game of power, I've been to this Guy's blog and who else does he write about? IceBerg Slim the pimp. That's where this whole Pimp mystique comes from I believe. SLim was this hardcore pimp guy living by his wits among sharks. He wrote some books. All these Kings and court intrigue and this pimp surviving in the violent ghetto Its the same energy.

You look at all the paintings of the Old Aristocrats. They all dressed like Pimps, Bling all over the place. They invented bling. Ermine, Gold, Silver, rubies, sapphires. Pimp canes (sceptres.)

The Barbarian and the Aristocrat are one and the same. Just like with Conan the barbarian, that archetype Howard tapped into, becomes King. The aristocrat has an abundance of strength. They can't betray their own nature.

Just like Nietzche, said, they are refined and everything amongst themselves and then when they go out into the world they are like wild beasts.

South America is a case in point, of the close connection between barbarism and aristocracy. Basically, the Conquistadors are still in charge over there. There is a small aristocracy and then beneath them is the herd. What do the sons of the aristocrats do? First of all the average millionaire in South America is worth 5 million. And the economies are all weak so think how far that goes. They smoke pot, surf, train in mixed martial arts, take steroids and beat the shit out of people and have sex with beautiful women. Seriously, the most beautiful women in the world are upper class south American chicks. What else are you going to do? What was the point of taking over south America if your descendants can’t do that generations in the future? And they can’t get in trouble because their parents own the police.

So once again, how does this tie into black people?

“What wonder, if the suppressed and stealthily simmering passions of revenge and hatred exploit for their own advantage this belief, and indeed hold no belief with a more steadfast enthusiasm than this—"that the strong has the option of being weak, and the bird of prey of being a lamb." Thereby do they win for themselves the right of attributing to the birds of prey the responsibility for being birds of prey: when the oppressed, down-trodden, and overpowered say to themselves with the vindictive guile of weakness, "Let us be otherwise than the evil, namely, good! and good is every one who does not oppress, who hurts no one, who does not attack, who does not pay back, who hands over revenge to God, who holds himself, as we do, in hiding; who goes out of the way of evil, and demands, in short, little from life; like ourselves the patient, the meek, the just,"

In my years of observation, and I am a student of human nature, I have noticed this one thing. Black people can’t help being black. That means that two or three hundred years is not long enough time to build a slave race.

The worst slaves in the world are black. They have all the qualities you would never want in a slave. Violent, lazy, arrogant, flashy, outspoken, proud, brash, suspicious of authority. I say lazy, but I don’t mean it as an insult. What I mean, is blacks tend not to work hard to others advantage. There is not a lot of dutifulness by nature, like has been bred into white slaves.

I worked for a temp agency as a night janitor, because nothing else was available and I needed the money. I worked with four black guys. Fill in the rest of the picture. Who did most of the work?

So whose smart here? The guy that works his ass off for minimum wage, without any supervision, for a job that he will leave in a couple days and never come back to? Or the guys that do as little as possible to avoid getting fired? Now working with four black guys doing commission sales is a whole different picture. I've had jobs like that too. You work hard for commission sales in order to make money, not to please "the man."

Its like comparing a zebra and a work horse. The work horse is bred to work. The zebra evolved to survive.

I have kind of a small readership here, but just in case, here is my politically correct disclaimer: There are plenty of black pussies that work really hard for the man just to do a good job, and obey all the laws ans pay their taxes just like a good little prole. But that is not part of the mystique I am tapping into. Gangsta Rap is popular for a reason. Black Hip Hop culture is flourishing for a reason. Its fulfilling a psychic need. Its not just black culture, though there are other barbaric, underclass tendencies enjoying popularity, tatooing, body modification, piercing, Mixed martial arts fighting is becoming really popular. It's lots of things. There are all these Shows on T.v. About Building monster bikes, with this Outlaw character Jesse James.

What I do is I try to piece together what the Vikings and the Germanic barbarians must have been like. Because really, at one time being white, and the qualities associated with being a domesticated slave weren't always together. We see all these whimpy passive white people that always pretty much do as their told and after a while it seems like that must be a "white thing" But really though, originally it was not like that. Certian white people used to travel in gangs. There is no difference between violent crime and military conquest. Any distinction is a social construct. The Vikings were armed robbers. That’s all there is to it.

They got gangs together, went on a trip and sacked cathedrals in order to get some bling.
Plus they just loved to fight and they liked spreading their seed far and wide.

People culturally conditioned and even genetically selected to labor and to obey, don’t do things like that. Eventually the inclination for adventure and conquest gets bred out of them. They become exhausted on a biogenetic level. Spent, used up. They become the herd. They have an anti-life drive. They say “No.” to life.

There is a Reggae song. “I am the root natty root.” Africans are the root of humanity. The cycle begins in Africa. That's where all the Barbarians come from, they go out, conquer the world, create civilizations, become civilized themselves, differentiate into classes, and eventually degenerate. Nietzche says elsewhere, The European is a form of degeneration, but the degeneration only goes so deep, and then the ancestral type emerges again. Often it’s the criminal. Criminals are people displaying natural behavior, that is at odds with the artificial environment of mass society.

Nietzche also talks about how as civilizations decline diverse races mix together, and often the effect is that diverse parts within the individual war against one another and the effect is that the person, would like to go to sleep and rest. They get tired. This where religions arise that have rest and extinction as salvation. People just want to go back into eternal sleep.

But he says in rare cases, geniuses are formed from this mixing. People able to harness all the diverse voices within them into a unit. He gives Leonardo Di Vince as an example. Once again though Nietzche is speaking of Europe. In America we have just generic white people, but really white people are a mongrel race composed of various races from Europe. You could have Viking blood and peasant blood and have them warring against each other in your DNA.

I often feel like like that. I have a part of me that resonates with the slave morality, part of me that resonates with religions that are about becoming one with God and returning to eternal sleep. But then there is an aristocratic part of me and behind that, as a subset of that which is the barbarian in me, that just wants adventure and to go out and fight conquer the world and get rich and sleep with beautiful women.

I am harnessing them all into one, the part that had gotten out of whack is that my slave ancestry had become the master. I’ve kicked that part off the throne, the Barbarian aristocrat is taking over.
