An interesting direction, Daniel. Here are some similar sentiments from Saigyo Hoshi:

Saigyo Hoshi, ~1140 CE, wrote:

月のゆく
山に心を
ゝくりいれて
やみなるあとの
身をいかにせん

My mind I send
with the moon
that goes beyond the mountain,
but what of this body
left behind in darkness?

And:

Saigyo Hoshi, ~1140 CE, wrote:

おしなべて
ものをおもはぬ
人にさへ
心をつくる
秋のはつ風

even in a person
who thinks nothing
of all things
it creates a heart for
the first wind of Autumn

And:

Saigyo Hoshi, ~1140 CE, wrote:

身をすつる
人は誠に
すつるかは
捨てぬ人こそ
すつる也けれ

He who casts himself away—
has he truly
cast himself away?
The real castaway is one
who casts nothing away at all!

]DAILYKENN.com—A the charred body of a 24-year-old businessman was found in his sneaker boutique earlier this year.

Arrested in connection with the brutal murder are Zachary D. Jones, 26, and Marvin Barrington, 23.

Police are looking for a third suspect, Antowan J. Hawkins, 22.

The remains of 24-year-old entrepreneur Aaron Goodwin were found in his burned out shoe store.

News reports say the crime occurred in Tallahassee, Fla. in May. The arrests were reported July 26, 2015.

In the ongoing effort to convince Americans that blacks are the oppressed victims of white privilege, such horror stories remain unreported by the mainstream Marxist media.

“White privilege”

Posted by Guessedworker on Mon, 27 Jul 2015 10:05 | #

From a ground-floor reply posted by someone named DavidPeppiatt at the Democracy Forum this morning, to a poster arguing, in essence, for civic nationalism and multiracialism:

Nationalism endeavours to cohere all the interests in society. It recognises the individual not as an entity oppressed by power, class, and circumstance (to be released by a coarsely interpreted but always notional act of breaking all the bounds, especially including those of Nature) but as a natural part of a natural whole in and through which self-realisation is found in either being or becoming. The purest form is existential, and will concern itself with self-consciousness, natural right and interest, solidarity, and social capital. Its intellectual high priest is Martin Heidegger.

Now, it is no more possible to cohere this nationalism with liberalism than it is to cohere self-consciousness with self-estrangement, or the organic with the artificial, or the authentic with the fake. To put it another way, liberalism acts on the human personality - that part of the psyche which is the product of Time and Place. There is no human presence in personality - quite the opposite - and therefore no genuine freedom to be got out of liberalism. On the other hand, nationalism can, in theory at least, deliver a society of men and women who inhabit their nature quite simply and self-consciously. True freedom, of course, is the freedom in being.

I must add that such a society has to be ethnically homogeneous. The sundering, self-estranging Western model of multiculturalism is only possible in a liberal polity.

A further sample of DavidPeppiatt’s argument for nationalism:

Paul says,
“Nationalism isn’t, as you say, “an infinitely malleable idea”, but it does have various interpretations, broadly divided into ethnic and civic nationalism.”

DavidPeppiat:

Civic nationalism is not part of the nationalist Weltanschauung. It is part of the liberal Weltanschauung. It is (a minor) one of the massifying tendencies therein. The dividing line between the two worlds is that between blood, the organic, the particular, and the idea, the artificial, the general. If you have read, say, Hegel on liberalism, or Nietzsche, Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, you will know what I am trying to say (not very well, I fear).

Paul:
..“why I describe ethnic nationalism as “impractical” is that, difficult as it is to locate ourselves within a culture or a community, most of us don’t know or care enough about our ancestry to locate ourselves at all within a race.”

DavidPeppiat

You are complaining about the contrivances of liberalism, not about nationalism. In nationalist thinking, the psychological products of the life that is now lived in the West - hyper-individualism, alienation, self-estrangement, ethno-masochism, etc - are understood to take us all away from our natural identity and life-interest, and into a contrived circumstance (of which much is generated philosophically and politically by an extremely hostile culture of critique). In a healthy society - one with a quietist ethnic nationalism informing Power - there are the counter-forces of self-consciousness, solidarity, and heritage to guide you. We don’t have these as things are, and that’s why you can’t comprehend their “practicality”. You are thinking like the liberal you are, obviously.

Paul:
A shared identity that can only be proved by tests in a laboratory whose validity is discounted by many scientists is never going to be a sound foundation for a community, let alone for a polity.

DavidPeppiat:

No, belonging is more openly available to the understanding than that. Suppose that you traced your lineage back to, say, Elizabethan times, noting every single branch however remote. Then suppose you turn-about and trace the lines of all those branches, right down to the present. You would have a human bloom probably a million strong. That’s what kinship, people- hood, connectedness means. It isn’t difficult to apprehend.

by whom no koans were spoken
He is said to have sought
the open hand of thought
and through sleep to have awoken

Linked below is a long article by Brian Victoria, which appeared in The Asia-Pacific Journal,  on the relationship of D.T. Suzuki and other Zen figures in wartime Japan to Count Karlfried Dürckheim and other German National Socialists.

For those not familiar with westernized Zen, it is worth noting that D.T. Suzuki and pre-war Zen in Europe was more closely associated with the Rinzai school of Zen as differentiated from Dogen Zenji and the Soto school which was propagated by Shinryu Suzuki after the war and remains dominant in the post-war West.

Posted by Latvians protests White genocide on Sat, 15 Aug 2015 05:49 | #

http://whitegenocideproject.com/stop-white-genocide-activism-on-the-streets-of-latvia/

On August 4, hundreds of Latvians and people from other Baltic countries joined together to protest the attempts by anti-Whites to kick start White genocide in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

“Stop Genocide Against Latvians” read one protestor’s sign, and another sign called to “Stop Genocide Against White Nations”

The protests had around 1,500 people and were held in the Latvian capital of Riga outside the Cabinet of Ministers Building.

One protester told media company, Ukraine Today: “I came with an aim to exclude the influx of refugees which endangers Latvia’s security and which could continue as an avalanche-like process, as has already happened in other countries, in particular in Western Europe.”

Despite 79% of Latvians saying they are against non-European immigration in a recent poll, the Latvian government has pledged to move in 250 illegal immigrants into the country.

Eastern Europe and Baltic Europe has seen just how bad all this “Multiculturalism” and “Diversity” has been for Western Europe. You can walk some cities in Western Europe and question if you are actually in Europe at all.

It will take a lot of work, but the best thing White-friendly activists can do in Eastern Europe, is to inform the public that “Multiculturalism”, “Diversity” and all those other kinds of words are just codewords for White genocide.

The only reason why White countries have these ideologies forced on them is simply because they’re White. That’s all it is. Anti-Whites no longer want there to be any White countries, any White cities, or any White neighborhoods.
