Rebuild Notre Dame and a new religion and temples securing our genus and species as European peoples I tend to agree with a lot of what MJOLINIR has to say - as in this article - he is correct to recognize Christianity as an affectation at best, more like a defrauding of our moral order which would otherwise be based on our natural interests. ..and to recognize those looking to Hinduism as equally affected. I would not even quibble with his criticism of post modern architecture, as the architectural necessity of being fixed in one place at one time has tended to create hideous amalgams as a result of modern logistical and economic requirement for efficiency; and the stylistic requirement for some “tribute” to tradition with raped and barren semblances of ornamentation that only make the monstrous edifice more sterile and alienating than modern architecture. That’s not to say that architects may not make better decisions in post modernity… The ready use of the pejorative term, post modern, and culmination of this article in commendation of the aesthetically appealing architecture of a newly constructed Odinist temple - perhaps with it, a commendation to re-enact this religion - is probably symptomatic of the yet poorly understood concept of White post modernity. Not knowing what to do in response to the ravages of Modernity’s universalist and internationalist wrecking ball, and the (((dada impostor))) of “post modernity”, has some reacting into larping attempts to resurrect ancient traditions which are inadequate to our contemporary understanding of the world and its performance requirements. With regard to our religion especially, we must avail ourselves of White Post Modernity’s capacity to take the best opportunities of modernity - that is to start anew and take what’s best of discovery. ...in tandem with Post Modernity’s raison d’être to begin with, ergo White Post Modernity - to protect the different inherited forms of people, including ours, from the oblivious ravages of modernity and backward traditions. Based in our most profound natural requirements (survival includes managed co-existence with other peoples) and taking account of those practices which are requisite to us as a people, our survival and the well being of our time in memorial pattern, we can generate observance to recognize these practices as sacred and bearing reverence for their episodic enactment. We can devise reasonable moral principles to which our people are accountable, which circumscribe our people, genus and species of Europeans, on pain of ostracism, to form a new religion - say 14 Words, genus and species, to secure the existence of our people and a future for White children… Sacralizing of the episode will help lift it to accountability to a relational level and cultural pattern (our race) beyond the rapacious momentary and episodic performance requirements where the severely atavistic judgement of Modernity’s Enlightenment falls down to, particularly after (((weaponization))). And there is no reason that we cannot build amazing temples for our new religion. While our original attempt here at majorityrights was stalled, if not failed, I believe it stemmed from a reaction to “post-modernity” misunderstood as shallow da da irony and “deconstructionism” - therefore, doing it back to the “post modernists”, without yet appreciating the difference that makes a difference in White Post Modernity - which can avail ourselves of the best of modernity, including generating a new religion which is truly based on the deeply committed interests of our people; along with the liberation from anachronistic superstition that religion comes to us through divine revelation as opposed to a negotiation between people (with more or less force - negotiation as in forcing your ways upon obstructive people or around obstructive people; or negotiation as in coming to agreement with others). Anyway, those criticisms aside, here is is MJOLNIR‘s take on how we might respond to the burning of Notre Dame. He tends to be closer to our view than most.

Posted by Guessedworker on Thu, 09 May 2019 09:22 | # Macron is seeking to rebuild the roof and spire of Notre Dame - the soul of France - in, at the very least, the context of the modern, and probably as a statement of the France of the future he will build according to his own, of course, superior and Jupiterian contemplations. Always assuming that the gilets jaune, populism and Marine Le Pen don’t get him first. Naturally, he has upset a lot of people with this ambition. Except among architects, modern architecture is not seen as part of the historical continuum of that which is most intrinsic and profoundly of the French people, but, rather, a shallow-minded and contemptuous challenge to it. How, then, should nationalists in the home of revolutionary Europe respond to the problem of Notre Dame and the modern ... indeed the secular modern, given that the spirit of the eternal is no longer theistic (if it ever was really, for Notre Dame was built as a technological statement and a statement of worldly power in an age when the Church was the political state and faith was professed universally under pain of a heretic’s death). “That which is most intrinsic and profoundly of the French people” is the popularly felt heart of Notre Dame - and of every ancient cathedral in our time - and, this being the case, the political state and politics itself, as an inexorably modern force, has very little to say about it. Any intrusion of politics will, therefore, tend in the wrong direction, towards anomie, fracture, and self-estrangement. The reflexive recourse, therefore, for thinking ethnic nationalists and also for traditionalists (but not for fascists) is to disavow the architecture of fracture and the architecture of force, and to tease out intellectually those qualities in the very flagstones and pillars and ornaments of the building ... their scale and signposting to reflection upon that which is beyond the petty diurnal self ... their gestures towards the ancient and the abiding which turn and return us to the context of the true. These are the architectural goods which “work” upon us, quite apart from the Catholic symbols and rituals in Notre Dame which work upon those who need an exercise of faith to find some sense of return. Of course, this is difficult to do. Our being is elusive when sought out by intellect alone, and there is a further problem, namely the nature of the Christian faith which must remain the formal principal in religious buildings. The roots of our modern-day collective insanity can be traced to the Judaic-Christian demand that the gentile “believer” must disavow and excise his or her own natural identity, inherent being, and kind, in favour of a notional replacement ... a bloodless cypher ... which professes a relationship only to the Hebrew G-d, and seeks (by the fatuous claim to love all human beings equally) a salvation when dead. Without this utter nonsense we would not suffer the replacement of the natural loves and interests of kinship with the pathological lie of universalism or the self-regarding virtues of humanism. We would not suffer the secularised Christianity of liberalism, with its atomised hyper-individual manically striving to break the bounds of its own nature in a bid to mutilate itself all the way to the estate of Man the Self-Creator. We would not suffer the false construct of equality or its Marxistic extrapolations, but would know ourselves and our brothers, and we would know the good in our shared interests, as does every people throughout the non-Western world. We are where we are today because of all this. All of our crisis of identity and being, including our crises of modernism and materialism, are wrapped in it. There is a vast re-creative intellectual and political task before us, for those who have the energy and vision to contribute. And now, perhaps, we can glimpse how the task of re-building Notre Dame to express “that which is most intrinsic and profoundly of the French people” is only a function of this greater task by which, if we wish our European peoples to survive, as all healthy and whole men and women must, every one of us will eventually have to re-learn what is good and vivifying. Monsieur Macron and the modernists of architecture notwithstanding. 5
Posted by mancinblack on Mon, 13 May 2019 13:03 | # I would suggest that they simply replace the roof of Notre Dame. The loss of the spire in the fire should be regarded as nothing more than a part of the buildings history. There is a desirable aesthetic quality possessed by buildings that have been built using natural materials and allowed to go into managed decline. Albert Speer presented his theory of “Ruin Value” as original work. However the idea was much older, for example, Sir John Soane, the architect of the Bank of England, built between 1791 - 1827. presented the bank’s governors with three paintings of how the bank would look when first built, when weathered and in ruin a thousand years into the future. Most of Soane’s work was destroyed during the bank’s rebuild by architect Sir Herbert Baker in the first half of the twentieth century. 6

In fact, ‘gypsy’ had long been a term to describe people who led a nomadic lifestyle in Europe. Certainly, Esmeralda had been brought up ‘gypsy’, lived as a gypsy, was accepted as a gypsy by other gypsies and regarded as a gypsy by non gypsies. If she’d had been a pale skinned, blue eyed blonde Nordic type, she’d never have pulled that off.
