Populism, distilled to its most essential, is a pure and ideology-free method of redress for the peasants of any given country. What is Nationalism then? Well, I would argue that it is simply outwardly-facing Populism. If the problems that a nation faces are internal, then we can call efforts by the peasants to band together and demand redress either peaceably (more or less) or perhaps more …

The fact that Russias elites are utterly terrified of expressions of Russian nationalism whereas American Nationalism is one of the indispensable pillars of Judeo/Oligarchic power in America is one of the reasons I still have hope for Russia.
90% of confused American peasants dont even have the prerequisite mental framework to express a form of nationalism that would be genuinely dangerous to the elite. When the peasant accepts all the basic assumptions of the elite like mammon worship, analism and zionism whatever kind of flag waving jingoism he comes up with will be harmless. This peasant can be convinced that homosexuality is worth fighting wars over but after the war is won cant we keep it in the bedroom? This peasant will accept a priori that accumulation of shekels is the meaning of life and that nobody should be allowed to dictate how another can spend his shekels but than he will be mad about how soros spends his shekels. He intuitively knows that what soros is doing is wrong but his mental framework for what constitutes TRVE American Patriotism is so intertwined with humanrightsfreemarketism that he cant express anything coherent about it. Ranting about Soros funding BLM one second to ranting about how libertarianism is the apex of human achievement the next is what nationalism fatally poisoned with ideology looks like.
Russian Patriotism/Nationalism is simultaneously more difficult for Russians to explain but none the less they kind of intuitively know what it is. Russias elite/liberals/jews have not succeeded in making it synonymous with international sodomy and mammon worship. Russian Patriots/Nationalist all kind of get that those people aren't ours. Even though they don't have a concrete definition of what Russian Nationalism is everyone kind of knows what it isn't. Thats why its almost impossible to LARP as a Russian patriot and be a liberal these days. Russian liberals are pretty much unabashed internationalist and make little pretence at not hating Russia.
Sadly in America one can openly endorse sodomy, fractional reserve banking and an Israel first foreign policy and the typical American patriot wont be able to put his finger on why any of this is wrong.
Hyperborean Gamer Republic sounds way better than Roloism.
On a serious note,community building with like minded men is vital to the survival of our people, but given the resistance it must be done quietly and without doing anything that may draw undue attention.A community requires resources.Resources that will immediately come under attack when the community identifies as white.So the best mask is to appear as unassuming normies to the world while carefully filtering people and sharing info and resources within this community.
Rome started as a series of families.It can do so again.
1-There was a french writer (christian, royalist, antisemitic) who saw this happening in the 40'. Bernanos wrote in "La France contre les robots"than the true ennemy wasn't that or this ideology but than all ideologies of his time are submitted to the true menace : the growing power of the state. (IMO, he was somehow wrong about fascism, bc fascism was the ideology which make people stronger in a stronger state).
Totalitarianism = growing power of the state.
Some pages of his book seems to have been written in the covid time.
2-I agree to the final statement "make people strong and cooperative so that they can self-organize", but I would point to the concept of communities : a lot of right-wingers saw communities as a magic card, but forgot to become stronger BEFORE joining such thing. A community of losers don't make members strongers, just stucked into lose.
I do think that much of what you say about the ethnics in ethnic neocons it true. Generally minority ethnics will not be on board with the nationalism of the majority in most societies. Usually this doesn’t matter much and disappears as the ethnics gradually assimilate. However, some ethnics have very strong cultural identities and don’t assimilate entirely. When such ethnicities are high achieving and successful they will tend to gravitate to oppositional (anti-nationalist) political movements and can eventually become powerful enough to exert a great influence on the direction and future of the country. This has clearly happened in the USA and perhaps to a somewhat lesser extent in certain other countries. While I think this is undeniably true, there is also a dangerous rabbit hole here. A too strong focus on this can lead to disproportionate attention on the ethnic aspect of ethnic neocons. Some will inevitably be attracted to this because the distinctive differences of minority ethnics will make these ethnics an easier and more psychologically satisfying target than neocons in general. They will eventually be consumed by this rabbit hole and lose what should be the primary focus: the struggle against neocons in general. It is the neocon that makes ethnic neocons dangerous rather than their ethnicity. There is also the case that some of the ethnics of whom we speak have been and are powerful voices against the neocons and the regime elite.
You won’t like this so I might as well chuck this in as well. The communists were wrong in many respects but they fought for the common people, the peasants and workers, and gave them hope, when there was nothing else, and gave them something to fight for. And they fought damn hard and well, and at least in part of the world did destroy the old capitalist system and its hugely rich oligarchs (many of whom were of that ethnicity above) and created a society that for all its faults was far more egalitarian than any other in existence. And without the communists and their massive drive to industrialize, Russia would have been utterly destroyed by Germany in 1941-2. The traitors who brought about the downfall of the USSR were liberals not communists. Lenin would have had them shot, as would Stalin and Trotsky.
What are your thoughts on the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States? It is a very rare law now in Western Society, maybe in every society.
Here is a little quote from Solzhenitsyn that might fit here.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Kudos to you for this one: I have to say, it's not so much about ideology as it is about perverting the mental processing of language to serve propagandists. That is, we're not fighting an battle over political ideology as much as emotional semantics.
You did give several conflicts which ARE ideological. However, consider that the definition of vaccine was rewritten to promote a more favorable ATTITUDE toward mRNA, or that "America" is a word that should be SHUNNED by the US government, or that any dissenter from neoliberal politics is a vaguely evil ALT_RIGHT. These pass beyond articulable ideologies into the realm of the subconscious.
Here in the US of America, the stops of this organ were pulled out during and since the Trump election. Most of my relatives went off on a ramp against Trump when we first mentioned his election, without actually being able to give a coherent reason. The reaction that there MUST be something wrong with him was grounded in neither reason or ideology, but in emotions aroused by the incessantly repeated emotional exhortations of the MSM.
Another interesting case is a friend who prides herself on ignoring political news, who nevertheless has picked up the idea that Zelensky is somehow cool, without being able to explain exactly why, and without knowing anything at all about Ukraine. Propaganda has reached such a sophisticated level of abstraction that political inculcation is occurring, not just without information, but even without ideation.
To your article, we've long since departed from a mental state where argument over Nationalism is an ideology. It's passed to the point where the dispute is over how we should feel about Hitler, never mind why. The issue is only whether our feelings should be favorable or hostile when we hear the word. Political discussions today are so difficult because the differences are pre-linguistic.
I agree with other posters, Rolo is on a roll lately.
What happens when you set out to intentionally and stubbornly violate the rules, so that you can reveal the societal procedures for suppression of deviants, is the theme of this movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLNpsf1k_Yw which we are lucky enough to have still freely available on youtube. Perhaps I had already posted it here in the past.
Roloism! I (personally) like it. But it may be difficult to get it to catch on...
I suggest "Go Free" the method, lexicon and dialectic of No White Guilt, Jason Köhne. It's designed, tested and refined to enable us to build community and create A People out of our deracinated race.
The people themselves can be the problem, as in Plato's Cave or Hobbes' Leviathan. The picture of the Leviathan was made up of people. The city cop is not the "power" because in some towns the people actually control the government. The "power" in a city or county are the people that show up to the monthly party meeting of the ruling party. Any politician that they don't like is gone fast.
The real power is the national police and army, in league with the national press, an example of this is the Twitter scandal that Matt Taibbi wrote about. This level is way out of the hands of the people.
This is why my country ( how dare I say that as a straight white male ) has been swamped with immigrants both legal and illegal for the past 20 years and more . It dilutes any ideas of ethnic nationalism to the point it no longer exists and the " elites " can breathe more easily. Again good article Rolo .
