Collin Cleary's essay on Julius Evola's concept of magical idealism continues with his exploration of the absolute individual, which Evola believed to be the ultimate purpose of life, and his call to recognize that we and the outside world are the same, in spite of our perception of separation. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/evola-magical-idealism-western-metaphysics-part-two/

Everyone reading this has the power to convert one other person to White Nationalism in the space of a year.
If you convert 1 person a year, for 30 years, there will be 30 more awakened whites.
But if those 30 people ALSO commit to converting 1 per year, after 30 years, there will be more than a billion of us.
We've got the truth. Now we need to add the commitment to proselytize.

Gavin McInnes has admitted faking being arrested by the FBI for "artistic reasons" (attention).
Absolute scumbag move while the FBI is rounding up conservatives and Jan 6 protestors are still locked up. Doing this helps discredit the very real threat right wing figures are facing from an aggressive security state in the US and just caused his followers to look silly by trying to raise awareness about it.
What's more, in private texts revealed by Owen Benjamin he said he would never reveal it was a hoax so we can reasonably assume he would never have come clean if Benjamin didn't publish those texts. McInnes has revealed himself to be nothing but a shameless grifter with this stunt.

As long as Queen Elizabeth II was alive, Britons enjoyed a real but superficial sense of continuity while their country was changed beyond all recognition by hostile aliens. Now that she is gone, some may reflect on the dramatic decline of the UK & summon the will to reverse it.
