What is up with people and their vagueness? If you want to critique my video, be specific!

I suspect many would disagree with your absolute separation of Wotan from Odin. If you put together a video where you go into detail about how they are different, I will watch it

@@rontimus maybe i expressed my self in a wrong way. Wotan is this gods younger warrior side, The merciless part of his psyche that favours violence instead of knowlegde. Wotan is his left eye connected to the right brain and he is Huggin "sun"like the Egyptian Osiris "evil eye" is the eye of the falcon sun god RA. God of war. Odin is a wiser elder version of the all father and his eye is the right eye aka munnin "moon" like Osiris right eye, the Healers eye is that of Horus "moon". One solves by war the other by healing and self sacrifice for the nessesary wisom needed to avoid war. This cycle of old testament war god of merciless law turning into the self sacrificing giver and healer you can see all happening all over the world again and again in all cultures. The third eye is Woden the Ankh, the cross. When the two becomes three in life. Ice and fire intermingels the water falls and so does the "hanged man" roaring as he once again fall into the world. Taking his first breath by the "spirit mist" from the water and fire becoming air. Than his "noose" cut and he is ones again back in the world after traveling the 9 worlds on the tree ;)

Hey. thanks for watching. I think though the issue is not so much pathological altruism but rather good and evil absolutism. Nietzsche definitely has a deep respect for Zoroaster and the religion, but I think the error he is trying to correct is the moral absolutism that he viewed Zoroaster to be the first to make (and which the Jews then also made that mistake). Selfishness and unselfishness are just one manifestation of this absolutism which he is casting Zoroaster as someone to be in rehabilitation from (which is quite logical if he was the first one to make that mistake)

That’s encouraging to hear friend, I appreciate it, and I will try to do more

Yes, anti Christian privately, pro Christian publicly. A moral coward.

@@rontimus He was no coward. It's ridiculous to call him one. Realpolitik is realpolitik.

@@wfr1108 He pandered to Christianity in public, he was a coward.

@@rontimus No, he was intelligent. His whole life shows bravery. Are you a right winger? Apolitical? What?

Do you actually take the position that he didn’t pander to Christianity publicly? Are you not aware of what he said?

You ought to explain how it’s relevant

@@rontimus A theme that runs through Howard's work is something like 'the barbarism of civilization and the virtue/authenticity of the so-called barbarian.' Conan is wrapped up deeply in this notion of a revenant spirit from northern Europe's pre-Christian past, albeit repackaged as fantastical sword & sorcery pulp fiction. I'm new to this RU-vidr's content but based on the vibes, I suspect he would find interest in Howard's work, if not a fan already.

@cmustard599 hey thank you for sharing, I will check that out!

Thanks for listening, appreciate it. Looking back now, I don’t really like the hard edge I have in this video… definitely a little jaded from figuring things out a little late in life, but I hope that, despite the chip on my shoulder coming through, some of the ideas at least made sense, appreciate your kind words

Lol.

Also I think deep inside we feel like the collapse of Rome was an error that we must correct by uniting Europe and Wiedergutmachung (reperation, atonement, compensation) of the past. That's why we're the world saviours.

Thanks for the that, are you yourself German at all?

Thank you, friend. Forgive the crude/crassness in this video, I do so to illustrate a point

Did you listen to the first video, “Hitlerism - Repressed Odinism”?

Absolutely brother, thank you

I was not true to my word on the timing, and for that I apologize. Here it is finally: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G1aKILHrMb8.html Summary video of all 4 videos forthcoming.

Absolutely.

Yes, Nietzsche gets to the bottom of it all, as I explain.

@@rontimus As a superfluous Wannabee? Spewing Quartertruth based on Semiknowledge? Have you read him?

The whole point of my videos is to prove your point, that Jung and Peterson are grifters and muddleheads, actually listen to what I’m saying

@@rontimus I will go through it again, but my disdain for Nietzsche is grounded in the Fact that I read all the Works he published whilst he was „clear“ in his Head. I do not refer to the Compilation his „congenial“ Sister released, the one Book that made him famous. Besides of the first Book about Greeks and Music which is harmless and Zarathustra which is Art, Art well written, but not my Cup of Tea, all his philosophical Books are well polished Halfknowledge baked into Quartertruth. The Grandstander could write for sure, but to me it is all golden polished Horse Apples. But I will now relisten your Video.

I appreciate your perspective, we may just disagree, and that’s ok. Personally, I think Nietzsche saw deeper into the German soul more than anyone. I have another video coming up about this. But in the meantime, here is also an article on against Peterson: open.substack.com/pub/rontimus/p/tell-the-truth-nietzsche-lies-and?r=2rvuja&

Nietzsche has been proven to be a German, regardless of what he said. And he knew better than all other Germans about the "German problem". I would know. I've read him at length, far more than you have.

@@rontimus The Genius who made him famous after he fell into his „Wahn“ was his Sister.

@@rontimus You confuse Deutsch with Germanic, many „Deutsche“ have Celtic or Slavic Roots. The People of Thuringia are of very mixed Origin. I have every Book Nietzsche has published when he was „Sane“. I am not talking about Letters but his Books. I read them all.

@erikheddergott5514 It’s irrelevant. The point is to pick the right god for your people, whatever that god is, and whoever your people are. As Nietzsche said, “We shall have to pay dearly for having been Christians for 2,000 years”

@@rontimus Ask yourself why all those Nordic Germanic People from Island and Scandinavia choose Christianity over Odin, Thor, Freyr, Frigg, Freya and Skadi: The Old ones could not deliver Peace of Mind and longer. To believe that only Brute Force converted the Germanics is naive, there were no Roman Legions who pressed the Germanics in Island to become Christians. I am a Agnostic and live a Life without Religion, which I consider the Right Way to deal with Religion.

"Could they serve as each other's vital enemy?" Haha, touche!! I love it, great comments, thank you for this... I'll have to look up this sorat you speak of

Thanks a lot for that. I suspect I may not have articulated my point well enough though, which is that, in terms of values, year 30 (a god crucified) represented a "great reset" in values (whether one believes in it or not is of no significance in that regard). And ironically, for 2030, I think it will be another reset in values.

Regardless, it's about does your faith celebrate the essence of who you are?

@@rontimus That’s be nice to take from it what rings true. Worshiping Christ, as ultimate victim & injustice has never spoken to me. To glorify injustice. I always liked Homer, Odysseus using trickery & cunning to defeat rivals & win!

@bryanutility9609 Yes, I think it’s really important to ask oneself what religion has embodied the ideals of who you are as a people. Different cultures and “religio” seem to often have different ideas of “justice” I have noticed, and now in the west our ideas are very rooted in Christianity. I have recently written here about how crucifixion was a humiliation ritual and that we have really lost touch with that open.substack.com/pub/rontimus/p/jesus-actually-is-lord-christ-crucified?r=2rvuja&

@@bryanutility9609you’re confusing folkish Germanic paganism with new age paganism and wicca

@@bryanutility9609also fuck the Abrahamic religions and their dogma.

I think you mean Socratic, not Platonic Just to clarify, I don’t mean to say that Christianity originated will to truth, but rather that it valorized it (at least in theory) to a degree not known before. What is underestimated is the significance of Jesus not only saying “truth is good”, but rather that he WAS truth. This personification was a new level of valorization, and it subordinated all other values (at least in theory, public valorization) as a consequence

⁠@@rontimusWhy do you focus so much on Christianity when there are so many noble anti-priestly forms of Christianity. And when Nietzsche clearly states in GOM that the Jews are the people with the most priestly of values? And do you understand that Christianity is mostly a proliferation of Jewish ideas? In some aspects in the NT a negation of those ideas.

Yes, Nietzsche said that the Christian is "ten times the Jew", and that's why he hated Christian anti-semites, not so much because they were anti-Jewish, but that they were anti-Jewish without being anti-Christian (which as you say is Christianity is a proliferation of Judaism, and even though contradicting it sometimes, also fulfilling it. Please see this new article that I have written: open.substack.com/pub/rontimus/p/humiliation-rituals-ie-how-to-prevent?r=2rvuja& ) The reason I focus on Christianity in this context is because I think it is not an accident that Darwinism emerged in English Christendom. As I mentioned, I think the movie "Creation" captures the ethos of the struggle of Darwin wanting to discover the "Truth", but that he did it within a christian context. And paradoxically, even though his opponents were Christians, the ethos of the concern for "Truth" came from the very place that he was now opposed to. In other words, Darwin got his will to truth from Christianity, but to give expression to that will, he had to contradict where he came from.

This is a great point and that’s very interesting about your Japanese culture which confirms a lot of things for me. But the situation is extremely paradoxical, cuz Nietzsche was actually, especially in pointing out how truthfulness took over other values, ended up showing himself to be a major seeker of truth, but just wanted truth to be less vaporized generally in society (and other values to rise). So it’s not so much about living solely in illusion per se, but rather people first simply stepping back and taking issue with the Christian imperative in all situations, and to learn to love illusions and lies in various degrees (and depending on who we are and where we come from and what we want to do with our lives).

And for those who can tolerate more truth, they can get into it more. But for those who can’t (or don’t want to), the condemnation that is inherent in Christianity needs to be consciously lifted and contradicted, if that makes sense? So truth can remain a value (to different degrees with different people), but untruth can also be variously celebrated. For westerners though, this is very disorienting, but it needs to be faced to lift the condemnation on people

When Nietzsche said “perhaps no one has yet been truthful enough about what truthfulness is”, he was certainly getting to the point that “tell the truth in all circumstances” is of course impossible and naive as a fundamental value. “Tell the truth as you see it all the time” was a Persian/Zoroaster value (and then Jewish and then Christian) and needs to be lifted as an imperative for “all humans”. It’s just simply impossible and needs to be rejected, and people like Jordan Peterson are the main propogators of this and need to be resisted

But regarding this video, my main desire is to end the dialectic between creation and evolution and to show that, even if evolutionists were right to some degree, they have the Christian will to truth to thank for that. And then people can decide for themselves whether they even want to be right, and this whole stupid debate can gain some perspective, if that makes sense?

@@rontimusBefore the Americans came in the 19th century, Japanese supreme values resembles that of Rome of Antiquity, but instead of glory, it was absolute respect towards the elderly, the shogun and the emperor. National defense instead of conquest (Rome) was more important for almost a millennia. But suddenly when Americans appeared, the concept of truth seeking and science suddenly rose. Natsume Sōseki has written this struggle between two moral evaluations in Japan. I myself am the product of this struggle between two moral imperatives.

Amen well said

That is the amazing thing in this book... Albeit true that this particular reading of St. Paul is indeed in many ways "anti-evangelical" (and so it is indeed a contradiction of the tradition that I come from, for example, in many ways), I think that it is, very ironically, the fulfillment of St. Paul's writings in a sense, for this reading is, in fact, Dionysian! Particularly in how he references Heidegger actually, and the "end times", and how, contrary to "Christian" sentiments in our day that only want comfort and "help", the reality is that the "ground under your feet" is never secure, that you are always "dancing on the edge of the abyss", by chaos. So paradoxically, this (very true) reading of Paul undermines the common (comfortable) Christian pettiness of our day, and yet gets back to the true context of "dancing on chaos" that the New Testament was written in... of which the constant tribulations of Paul, in contrast with lazy modern christians of our day, actually typify.

@@rontimusThank you for the explanation ! I will meditate in what you responded.

Of course that doesn’t do it justice at all, but future videos will, and the book itself

I was actually going to respond to your other comment on the other video, but then saw this one. I actually made this video before the other one today, but posted the other one first, and there is some method in that madness... I tried to be almost outright offensive in the other video (almost over the top), to mainly make the point of the mismatch between the German soul and the Christian faith. But ironically, after the calamity of German scapegoating onto Jews in the world wars, and then after the subsequent global guilt-tripping against the Germans for eons since then, to understand Nietzsche's warnings now in light of that calamity, is actually one of the big silver linings of the whole thing. For Nietzsche to have wanted the Germans to "become Europe's first anti-Christian nation" then makes so much more sense after seeing Germany NOT heed his warnings (and then see Germany succumb to the global guilt-tripping following their "half-measures"). Ironically, I believe... in this book I talk about in this video, the author explains how Nietzsche helps achieve this "symbiotic relationship" that you mentioned in your other comment. For the great irony is that, although Germany would have done better to have heeded Nietzsche's advice (get rid of the Jew in your soul, ie Christianity), ultimately Nietzsche himself ends up being an end time Bible prophet who achieves this "symbiotic" state. The author of this book shows, very convincingly that there is a way to read St. Paul that is VERY Nietzschean. And I have always SUSPECTED this and was trying to articulate to myself, and now I absolutely can (and will in next videos). And so now this new RE-CONSIDERATION of the German "problem" after the calamity of everything, opens up a whole new world... quite ironically... But of course, the vital thing for present day Germans, more than future, is to understand what psychologically happened with Hitler, and how the return to Odin wasn't fundamentally a bad thing, but that what was "bad" was that it was a terrible "half-measure"

And yes! There definitely is something about metal heads into Nietzsche! One of the reasons (among many others) that I don't respect too much of what Jordan Peterson says about Nietzsche is because he has no comprehension of the extreme benefits of metal, he looks at it like a deer in headlights. Being into metal is definitely a sign of being able to understand Nietzsche better

​​@@rontimusAppreciate the response and as you've mentioned in the video a revaluation of both christian & pagan ideals regarding their 20th century history would be required to aid the german oversoul. Shadow work at such a scale is a great, great task. On another note, a greater trend noticed is the ineptitude of half assed morals. Wether politicaly or spirituality, holding onto such disruptive paradoxes for decades induces a hypnotic, cognitive dissonance. I cant articulate it well but to borrow, again, from nietzche, it feels as if western society is living inside a gods corpse and its stench is becoming increasingly nauseating.

That is such a good way to put it, and definitely happened in the case of Germans who cowardly held onto Christianity (at least on the surface). All that said though, I’m so glad you mentioned “nausea”…. And how that results from this situation… but amazingly ALSO, this book talks about how nausea itself can be a springboard, as it is a part of the process of becoming in life in general, and so, as stifling and sickening as the situation has been, there is meaning even in the nausea, thank you for mentioning that

Awesome! I’ll be very interested in your thoughts of it… especially after you mentioning Jonathan Bowden, thank you friend

Will let you know .. Thank you

I'm not sure entirely if I understand the question... but I will say that Nietzsche is fascinating to read on individualism and collectivism. It's because of him that I essentially discarded the dichotomy entirely, and now I see that there really is no such thing as an "individual" or "collective" on an absolute basis, because even the individual carries within him the collective from which he comes, while the collective is a collection of "individuals". And even when the "individual" leaves the herd or collective, he still carries within him collective out of which he came. It really is an amazing topic... after reading Nietzsche, it becomes a whole different ballgame...

@@rontimus ... Got you, still haven't found a great definition of left and right yet. As I understand it, it could be monarchy versus democracy, the classical world versus the postmodern world, circular time versus linear time, or collectivism versus individualism....... Do you have the same understanding?..... Awfully tricky to define these things.

From the perspective of Tom Holland, I would say they are both aspects of the Christian movement, "left" and "right" are "in-house" battles within Christendom. So within the west, "liberals" focus on the "love your neighbour" part of Christianity (more bleeding hearts, at least on the surface), while "conservatives" tend to emphasize tradition (like when St. Paul said that "if a man does not work, he shall not eat"). "Democracy" itself Nietzsche would say is a product of the Christian idea of "equality of souls" (made in God's image, therefore the idea of "human rights", which Nietzsche rejected), and then within this "democracy", there is "left and right", both arguing (secular versions) of the original (very) Christian sentiments. The distinction between circular and linear time is not so much a "left vs right" thing as much as it is a Christian vs Non Christian thing. Both left and right within "democracies" tend to assume time is linear (beginning and end as concepts clearly demarcated by the Bible), while circular time (like the Romans thought of it) is outside of Christianity and therefore neither "left nor right" (because that is a Christian dichotomy), but rather is "anti-Christian", if that makes sense?

@@rontimus very thoughtful response, and thank you for your reply sir, all I know is that I'm completely ignorant on these subjects, but I find them a fascinating puzzle..... From what I gather Christianity from the perspective of classical world is indeed a slave morality as Friedrich Nietzsche said, and seemingly the first "woke" movement,....... Whether or not Christianity/ Judaism /Abraham/(monotheism )? is a good or a bad thing overall I suppose time Will tell. But it seems to me that the conservative people would reject Christianity if they understood it to be the beginning of transgender lgbtq and so on today, if only they were aware of this continuity,....... And I suppose the far left would be in favor of it if only they were aware,........ But it's the far right who interests me the most for the same reason that it fascinates Tom Holland, it is almost inconceivable to my mind to even approach understanding the ideas of the classical world, and to hear many people who appreciate Frederick Nietzsche speak, they believe it would be a very much better world if Judaism for lack of a better word had never existed........ About that I don't know. But I do think that time May certainly be cyclical instead of linear, and I suspect that democracy liberalism and so on may be very well against human nature itself if history is any guide. Anyways sorry for rambling I'm not sure how all of this is connected or what predictive Powers it may have for the future of understood correctly , well it's late at night for me, think I'll hit the hay. At the end of the day I think I may agree that the classical world/ mononarchy hierarchy, might be better long term, but at the same time I certainly wouldn't want to give up my" human rights "gained through the Christianity and the enlightenment.. That reminds me, there's an interesting Russian philosopher you may like named Alexander Dugan. All the best, good night professor.

I think in general the thought of something being "good or bad" having existed should be rejected. Often Nietzsche criticized the Jews, but he often hailed them as well (unlike his antisemitic counterparts). And despite all his criticism of Christianity, he also saw some benefits to it, and actually viewed himself as it's ultimate "contradiction and fulfillment". Also too, instead of thinking "What is best for humanity", it's more a question of "What religion is best for this particular people group and which is not very good". Nietzsche did not want to annihilate Christianity but just wanted to unseat it's supremacy. I think for instance, Christianity is a very reasonable religion for, say, the Filipinos and others, but it's a horrible religion for the Germans (Which I think Nietzsche would have seen as the cause of the anti-semitism of the Germans, that they couldn't get rid of the "jew in themselves", ie being Christians). I think people are talking about a "great reset" for 2030 because they subconsciously know that the prevalance of the idea of "Christ crucified" (and having been adjusted to this shocking proposition) is coming to an end. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Knh9awypd4g.htmlsi=GLd4fiALEWQfayFd For me personally, I am grateful for Judaism and Christianity (I know the Bible very well) because when combined with "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (which it references the bible all the time) it makes the Bible so much richer and amazing in it's vast sweep of history and ideas, and it's a wonderful segue now to Nietzsche and Tom Holland, and, as you will soon see, so much more.
