What is love? No, I am not an aspiring philosopher or poet. It’s rather that I have seen lately how we all – all of mankind presumably – are called upon to “Choose Love, not Hate”. This has made me think about what love really is. Love, of course, can be a lot of things. As any classical student knows, the terms of ancient Greece are often used to describe different types of love. I believe that these categories best describe what is so hard to define.
There is Agape, a general word for non-erotic love and the word that is still used in modern Greek.
There is also Eros, which refers to a sensual and/or sexual type of love, the type you have for you spouse or lover. Lust is related to that feeling.
There is Philia, the brotherly love that one feels for ones friends and family and also for community, country or race.
Storge is the natural, biological love for ones offspring.
Xenia is the love – and related honor-bound responsibility – of a host for visitor or guest.
All of these categories are very helpful, both intellectually and emotionally, but they are also rather one-dimensional. There is a second dimension that I think is also very important. That is how pure and self-less your love is.
True Love is self-less and giving. You love someone so much that you just want to give and make him or her better and happier and stronger. The very act of giving and seeing the result of giving, makes you happy. One of the ultimate acts of self-less love is to give up pursuing someone, because you know that they’d be happier with someone else. If you really love your spouse of your children, you’d give up a kidney or a lung and you know that – if there is no other way out – you’d lay down your life for them. That is self-less love.
Then there is that other kind of love. The False Love from the dark side. The kind of love that compulsive, obsessive, demanding and suffocating. The kind of love that demands and and takes and sucks dry, but never gives. The kind of love that is domineering and controlling and fulfills a perverse need in the dark pits of a sick mind. The type of love that demands that you’ll agree, bend, cower and submit or you’ll be punished for daring to oppose. The type of love that uses, abuses and destroys.
The type of love that an abusive husband shows his wife when he beats her with a belt, in a spot where is won’t show. The type of love that Josef Fritzl showed his daughter when he raped her over 3,000 times and made her pregnant seven times. The type of love that a pedophile shows when he molests a child. The type of love that the old-style schoolmaster shows when he flogs the pupils until they cannot sit down. The type of love that the Marxists show when the persecute those who dare oppose their sick doings. The type of love the multicultural supremacists show when they incite to riot, sabotage and murder. The type of love that the domestic terrorists show when they – through malice, libel and lies – effectively deny a whole ethnic group their constitutional rights.
Personally, I have plenty of Agape in my heart and plenty of Eros for my wife. I have Storge for my children, my precious offspring and Philia for my extended family and my embattled people. I have Xenia for the guests and strangers, as long as they respond in kind. Of course, I don’t love everyone I meet with a flaming passion. I live in an area with high crime and where Whites are a minority: I may not like everyone I meet, but I treat them with respect and expect the same in return.
However, for those who abuse the beauty of love and use it as a cover for their sickness, I have no love. I have sorrow and pity and I will defend myself and those I truly love against the warped and dark “love” peddled by Socialists, Marxists and multicultural supremacists to my dying breath.
When these warped minds ask us to “choose Love”, they mean love on their terms and it’s always “or else…”. That is not True Love, it is False Love and it is meant to devour us.
Like sociopaths, Imm and other Leftists/Marxists mimic and feign human emotions to manipulate people and achieve ulterior goals, but do not truly feel them.
One of my favourite Jost Turner essays focuses on this subject:
LOVE – An Eternal Law of Nature
by Jost Turner
“Choose Love, Not Hate” is just an attempt to prime everyone to accept “hate speech” and “hate crime” laws.
When these warped minds ask us to “choose Love”, they mean love on their terms and it’s always “or else…”. That is not True Love, it is False Love and it is meant to devour us.
Their “love” is the type of “love” that is dispensed in the Ministry of Love in Orwell’s 1984.
And speaking of traditional definitions, there are two different words for enemy in Latin. Hostis is an enemy of the nation/state and inimicus is a personal enemy. Jesus told his followers to love and forgive their inimicos. I’ve been meaning to look up the relevant passages in Greek to see the particular words used there.
Without truth, there is no love, because without truth you can define love anyway you please. Someone we know practices slander and hypocrisy and calls it love. Stop hating truth, Imp. Leave you malice and manipulation behind and join the company of honorable men. Honesty wins.
What ho, Bertie.
Robert,
Why quote Jost Turner approvingly?
Hitler combined love for Germans with complete indifference toward Slavs and hatred toward Jews. This twisted combination was directly responsible for millions of murders and tens of millions of war deaths – the greatest catastrophe in the history of the white race.
The two main ideas of Mein Kampf were:
1. German Nationalists must forget the 1914 boundaries. Then, Germany must build her strength and forge alliances to enable her to invade Eastern Europe and conquer new territory which would provide sufficient farmland to feed Germany in the event of a blockade.
2. Ethnic Jews must be permanently removed from all positions of power within Germany, at ANY cost.
With regards to the first goal, what “living space” was geographically contiguous with Germany? Directly to the east of Germany were many of the most densely populated areas of Europe. Did he plan to plant German colonists in the primeval forests of Prague and the wide open fields of Warsaw and Cracow? These areas would only provide “living space” after the genocide of the Czech and Polish nations. In pusuit of this goal, he annexed the Czech core of Bohemia centered on Prague, even though this betrayal of promises made at Munich was certain to make the leaders of Britain and France permanently lose all faith in his word. He then invaded Poland, although he knew for certain that this would automatically involve Germany in war with Britain and France. Latter he was the agressor in attacking the Soviet Union, again widening the war.
When the war turned decisively against Germany, Hitler attempted to use his temporary window of power to prevent future ethnic Jewish power in Germany by making sure there would be no ethnic Jews in the future. This was the motive behind his murderous attempt at violent genocide.
It is natural to have more love for one’s own family than for strangers, and more love for one’s own ethnic group than for foreigners. WW2 and the Holocaust were the bloody results of love reserved EXCLUSIVELY for one’s own ethnicity.
I turn away in UTTER DISGUST from Hitler worship.
Oh dear. It’d near suppertime. I do hope the lads will not become overly exuberant, and begin hurling the rolls through the air…
Trolls United – turn away, and keep going. And it’s not disgust – it’s envy.
Hitler was a brilliant visionary. He was reacting to the EVIL that Judea wrought, in Russia, and the West.
He should have entered Russia as a liberator. That was a critical mistake. And the Holocaust occurred in Russia. Jews murderd MILLIONS of Russians.
Denise,
I condemn Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Zinoviev, Dzerzhinsky, Kamenev, Livitnikov, Helphand, Sverdlov, Kaganovitch, Rosa Luxembourg, and Bela Kun for they same reason I condemn Hitler: They have blood on their hands.
WU asks:
“Robert, why quote Jost Turner approvingly?”
Although I disagree with Jost Turner on a number of issues (including the modern application of exoteric NS), I believe he was one of the finest writers on the contemporary racialist scene and his words resonate deeply with me.
I do not wish to discuss Hitler with you publicly. In my experience, such debates (and I’ve engaged in many of them on this subject) invariably spiral into a counterproductive sideshow. If you want to know my thoughts on NS, listen to my old interviews with VNN or the appearances I made on Bill White’s show, in which we discussed NS theory at some length. I made quite a few posts about NS on VNNF over the years, which you can find under the username TowardWewelsburg. If you feel compelled to discuss this with me and you’re willing to be civil and stick to the facts, contact me privately.
Robert,
Fair enough.
They Took Er Jobs!
