Black Magic
Hate and Loathing Under the Dome
For those following along here this will come as little shock, but the fact is that we’ve all been living under a magic spell. This spell is an opaque dome with light able to get out much more readily than it gets in – and those controlling what light is allowed in get to frame our worldview within the dome. For students of philosophy you may see this as merely a reimagining of Plato’s Cave, and you’d be basically correct.
This dome is fortified by a great many seals that prevent us from merely stepping outside. To break them, and set yourself free, you must look inward: into your own mind. What words have you allowed yourself to hold magical significance over you in your world? What magic words redirect your reason to emotion, or predetermined groupthink? Where are these trip wires of taboo?
Let us examine a particularly guarded seal here: the magic of “hate.” If you are like me, you’ve had it impressed upon you from a young age by a great many people, not the least of which your mother, that it is inappropriate to ever hate – this is especially true of hating other people. Today, we see the word “hate” everywhere. It is an allegation, a weapon, and a signal of virtue (to the one on the accusing end). As a result of these very many coalesced lines of effort you almost certainly have a spell cast on your understanding of the word – an understanding that you cannot align with reality until you examine it fully.
First, know that there is nothing wrong with hate per se. Hate is merely a strongly negative emotion connected to some thing, person, or such, and everyone experiences it. We know this because it is definitionally a common human emotion. The word exists in common usage because it is exactly that: common. Christians know this because scripture lists a number of items that God hates, and only those purportedly more pious than God (a sin in itself) would suggest we are not to be so aligned with Him as to share this emotion – in fact, in this context such hate is a positive good, because good is to be defined according to a perfectly good God.
Uncomfortable yet? Good, now let’s add some context. Hate exists as an emotion, but it does not exist in a vacuum. The space in which it exists is informed very significantly by ideology. Racism is one such ideology, as it casts value judgements according to skin pigmentation, an immutable characteristic, and hates on that basis. Here, it is not the hate that is wrong first, but the ideology. This hate is according to partiality with no basis in the character or actions of another, and it is therefore properly evil according to an ideology that defines such partiality as sin – Christianity does just this.
But those who espouse no such objections to partiality – such as our enemies that seek to inflict anti-white racism, anti-male misandry, and anti-straight sexism [I no longer address “cisgender” directly, as it is an entirely imaginary concept that deserves no acknowledgement]) – there is no consistent rational basis on which to call racism evil. To make allegations of “hate” against us here our enemy must borrow from our own ideology, and in doing they fulfil another of Alinsky’s radical rules.
By casting “hate” as the villain your enemies are able to confound your reason as they expand this broad category (error) to all kinds of hate. But this is, again, an error. It was not the hate from which evil entered the world, but the idea(l). If you hold a good ideal that you believe in (such as traditional Americanism) you will hate according to its dictates, and you will be just and good in so doing.
Your enemy will use a sleight of hand (magic trick) to insert whatever characteristic they would prefer you not resist and label your resistance as “hate” in order to negate you. This magic is the thought that stops thought. The thought that stops thought is the one thought we must definitively stop.
In your good and just resistance to evil things (think pedophilia, for instance) it is not even the hatred that matters – whether your resistance is informed by a hatred of the subject (as it is mine in the instance of pedophilia) is irrelevant. It is merely that by invoking the magic word of “hate” – having successfully coupled it to racism and so on – the enemy is able to bypass your legitimate resistance, and they judo justice itself towards perverted ends. This is primarily a social phenomenon; you have been well trained to expect fire and brimstone if you get tarred by the label of “hate” (or “phobic”). You must push through that.
Now know that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with hate and break the seal. Break the seal and be one step closer to stepping outside the wizard’s circle (our dome). Love what is good and hate what is evil and make no apologies for either. I say it again: hate what is evil. Make no apologies when accused by one or by one thousand. Double down and hate the injustice of a false accusation and the Maoist struggle sessions they would inflict upon you.
I reserve the right to hate according to my convictions and good ideology and faith, and I accept the responsibility of the temperance that must be called upon in so doing. This is what living fully looks like – it’s not living in fear, and it does not consume me – hate is the outlet necessary for the good within me to be expressed in the face of evil. It means embracing hatred as a properly natural facet of existence in a fallen world, and in aligning oneself with the Lord making damn sure hate is directed according to just and good ideals.
