People in general have a need to gather together around commonality for it brings them things to rally around and it gives them a tribe. The ancient world is full of this notion and it was a strength that bonded people to a central ideology. Today is no different, there’s still people that support their local football team, popular bands and political parties. The only difference is today’s tribes only directly benefit: the owners of the sporting arenas, concert promoters/bands, and the candidates. While past shows this need was fulfilled around ideologies of learning, cultural revolutions and intellectual centers; this has since been abandoned. They gave up this high order thinking in favor of desiring the mediocrity of popularity. The ones that get caught in this trap have everything to believe in and everything buy; their world is open to whatever their upbringing was, as well as everything their peers say is cool.
For the ones that don’t find their niche in the trite world of consumerism find a whole other counter-culture system waiting on them and ripe for the taking. They have different things to buy that are intended to shock and appall the lemming masses. The ones that follow this rebellious call beckon for others to join them, but are glad that they don’t because it makes them feel special to be a part of an elite click that the world shuns. There are some that stop at being a Goth/emo, nerd, or a biker; whilst others that want the most extreme venture into hate groups. These gangs of tattooed covered rebels proudly show off their body art to anyone that is interested, but when you ask them about National Socialism they say, “Oh yeah Hitler rocked! He should have gassed them all! He was badass!” When you ask them about Mein Kampf they say, “Oh yeah I’ve read it,” When you question them about what other books they have read they say, “Turner Diaries, and bad ass shit like that!” Of course he has never read anything else that isn’t talked about in the media as bad, because once it strays out of the exterior image these guys have no interest other being an ego-centric angry teenager type. Anything that they can read that will perpetuate this illiterate stereotype they’ll continue to wholeheartedly do.
Yet, it doesn’t stop with their lack of literary interest either; they need to feel like that they are the baddest guy on the block to scare away a community; for a real National Socialism would beckon them to be better to one another, but they would rather be a thug than a member of society. A lot of them say they are Pagans, but upon asking them what that means (well the ones that don’t get defensive and angry revealing that they are full of shit) they tell you that they don’t like Christianity. So when the Gauls, Saxons, and early Vikings were Pagans they were doing it in a direct competition to another faith, does that make sense? All this time and I thought faith was something unquestioned by all constructs centering on an unshakable belief in something. The only thing these Pagans are unshakably believing in is that they don’t want to be their parents and the other happy people filling into their churches on Sunday morning. Some say they are Odinists, but have nothing to add to a Norse Mythology discussion, other than, “God of WAR, ODIN!” For all these ignorant people want is war, that’s at the center of it all. They want to break down society with their hedonist needs for killing as well as a need for destruction. They think by being a Pagan they are breaking up an ill-defined status quo by being a rebel. The society lets people be this rebel and even paints what a rebel is supposed to look like and act like, and these true WNs are that canvas.
Why do they let the media dictate to them this rebel need? What do rebels in general have in common? It is clear that the idea of being a rebellious young man has been in a celebration since the media captured the audience with the likes of: James Dean, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, it’s a twentieth century phenomenon. The psychology of the concept of a rebel is simply an outcast that builds himself out of the raw materials left over that the mainstream or collected masses won’t touch. The media builds a wholesome image from time to time, just to breed a counter-culture anti-hero that will sweep in and give young people something new to be. Yet the majority of these media produced rebels were already gravitating to what everyone else wasn’t doing. These are the left behind kids, the teens that hated their parents and everything they stood for, becoming more isolated than most teens that needed a uniform to wear when the Christians were preaching about good things. These outcasts need to have a banner to wave that leaves the others to question and even fear them. These lonely teenagers grow up with a chip on their shoulder and perceive that whole world is against them. They need to pump iron, get tattoos, smoke, excessive drinking, collect guns, get into barroom brawls, fight with police, grow drugs out of their basement and get into radical ideology that fuels their need to channel their anger. The consequences of this bitter rage are a myriad of problems including, but not withstanding: they have criminal records, broken bones wrecking their motorcycles and being an overall menace to the public. They make impulsive choices that lead them to obsessions that ruin their life. Under a veil of illusion they still see that the world or the form of government was the reason they have bad credit and an alimony check that’s due. They look upon those happy Christians coming out of their collective institution and a rebel revs his swastikas covered chopper and there he pronounces to the world that he is a Pagan!
These WNs use the rationale that the reason they hate Christians is because they are globalists, but that’s a bunch of convenient bullshit. They don’t like Christians also not because Jesus was a Jew either; for they don’t like them because they are constructive. These rebels are used to destroying everything and building nothing but an even longer arrest record. There ain’t no rebels building communities. They aren’t interested in anything that look as if they are straying back into country that the norm is walking. It would be a unfamiliar road that James Dean wouldn’t have strayed upon, so why would they? These WN rebels are more suited for a professional wrestling character than a real person, yet they strive to be the biggest empty-headed badass that shocks the world that lets him shock it. The masses should look upon these WNs and laugh at the stereotype that they chose to be. They are no different than the country fan that wears a cowboy hat and spurs to a Toby Keith concert, but even these hick flag wavers have a collective in their government, what do WNs have? All the activism that could be accomplished isn’t suited for these guys, because any that they do looks like the temper tantrums of kiddie America than it does like the Beer Hall Putsch. The masses should peer upon these media induced rebels with a parallel of that of a long haired death metal fan with the spikes in his arms and biting glass look in his eyes. In other words, as just a part of the landscape rather than a threat to their survival or lifestyle.
These rebels don’t spring up out of a bubble, because what was the counter-culture anti-hero from the 19th century? The ones that occur to me are train robbers. How about the early 20th century? Gangsters. Why are these two different criminal types anti-heroic, because they go against the strict order and establishment. What strict order and establishment exists today in Western countries? A place where everyone of every race, religion and creed can get married and raise children in peace. Why do these rebels trying to turn back the clock by installing a rigid Islamic like order to put constraints on them? In their media driven rebellion, do they realize that no matter what band, ideology and/or eccentric religion they have that in the end they are a consumer? Do they long to put under the boot of an establishment that validates their need to create a dramatic play where there is none? If White Nationalists are just a modern version of a train robber, gangster, and an Elvis Presley 1959 hip shaker then it doesn’t say a lot about being a rebel. Yet as long as they are caught in this counter-weight to the culture they will stay on the fringes and no matter how many events enter the headlines about them they will quickly exit. Yet that is how they like it, still being a movie character marching to the beat of the drum the media made for them.
