Inequality is life.
It is the foundation of meaning. This is not a political claim but an ontological one. Everything that possesses value has it because it differs from what surrounds it. Nothing in existence is identical to anything else. Distinction creates quality, and quality creates meaning. A world of perfect sameness would be a world without value, and therefore without life in any sense that concerns man.
Value appears in two forms. One is qualitative, which makes a thing unique. The other is quantitative, which makes a thing superior. The first speaks to special character, the second to rank. Both depend on difference. Both arise from inequality. And because meaning is a form of qualitative value, it exists only through difference. When differentiation is eliminated, meaning is eliminated. There is no conservation of value once the distinctions that generate it are destroyed.
This reveals the fatal flaw in every egalitarian project. Equalization reduces value. It creates nothing. It can only flatten. A society that strives for perfect equality seeks a condition in which nothing can matter, because nothing can stand apart. A life made interchangeable with any other life approaches zero in value. This was evident under Soviet Communism. Suicide became common because existence carried little meaning. Mass murder was easy because other lives carried little weight. When men are made equivalent, they are made disposable.
Men instinctively resist this. They search for distinctions that affirm their worth. They cultivate talents and pursue excellence, attaching themselves to groups regarded as higher. They do this because inequality is the condition for value, and value is the condition for meaning. Even those who preach equality act from inegalitarian motives. They want to appear morally elevated and superior. They want praise. They want power without the contest that power normally requires. Equality becomes the instrument through which they gain that power. The pursuit of equality in the West is ultimately an inegalitarian project, a form of slave morality advanced by the canaille.
Julius Evola observed that the principal cause of the existential crisis facing the West today is a collapse of meaning. This collapse produced a long descent into nihilism, a decay set in motion by the destruction of hierarchy and the abandonment of higher truth that began with the upheavals of 1789. Liberalism weakened or dissolved the transcendent orders and natural hierarchies that once gave life its structure. It sought to liberate man from every binding force, yet ignored that men draw meaning from those forces or in struggle against them. A people deprived of rank and duty, and thus of obligation to something greater than the narrow self, becomes weightless, and that weightlessness turns to despair.
When hierarchy falls, reverence dies. With the loss of reverence, culture decays. As culture decays, a people is reduced to interchangeable units within a material economy. Egalitarianism seeks to make mankind safe by eliminating every distinction, yet in doing so removes the conditions that make life worth living and produces a world that is less stable and therefore less safe. It creates atomized individuals, consumers and slaves in place of formed men, and this condition is enervating, sapping the strength of the peoples of the West, preventing civilizational renewal, and leaving them suspended in inertia.
Such destruction carries no virtue and no honor, and anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or a fool. Equality reduces all things to their lowest common denominator, stripping them of meaning. It makes the world cheaper. It makes life cheaper. A people, and therefore a civilization, that worships equality has already surrendered its future, for it has abandoned the struggle from which excellence and greatness arise.
To affirm inequality is to acknowledge reality and the inegalitarian nature of the cosmic order, and to embrace life in its hardest form, recognizing the heights from which value and meaning arise. To reject equality is to resist the slow corruption that spreads wherever distinction is denied. A man who seeks greatness knows that excellence is forged in struggle and preserved through vigilance.
Any order worthy of coming generations must be held like a fortress, guarded against the leveling forces that would extinguish what is good and therefore noble. Men elevate themselves by turning toward what strengthens them, by taking up the struggle that life demands, and by refusing the downward pull of the degenerate age that surrounds them. The West will endure only by embracing life in its full severity, and it will thrive only by rising to the heights that such terror and beauty demand.

The American Tribune
@TAmTrib
An entirely different world used to exist
The Congo was a European vacation destination. Argentina was one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. America didn't have an income or death tax. London was the center of civilization rather than known for Paki-committed crime
Then came the Great War. That old civilization spent its blood, treasure, and spirit upon the fields of Flanders. Remnants remained in the Indian Summer of the Old World that followed, but death was stalking what had managed to survive. The Second World War spent all that remained, and drove a mortal wound into the gut of Christendom and Western civilization.
With the outcome of the Suez Crisis, that death finally came. The world was now ruled by race communism, whether under the guise of Bolshevism or liberalism, and the sort of civilization that constructed beautiful cathedrals, revolved around splendorous country houses, and understood the civilizing mission was dead. The false god of Equality has ruled over all ever since

Just to be clear, at least according to the reporting, he called the niqqer a niqqer after the niqqer stabbed him.
