There was a dairy some guy wrote after he was exiled. I forgot what it's called but someone here probably does.

No, I act like I used to come on this board to have comfy and at least semi-insightful threads about actual literature, and now all we have is brainlet pol-tards and apparent pre-schoolers
You are shit, and since you took the place of something worthwhile, I have ample time to tell you

I’ve been wondering the same thing after reading the chapter “The Race” in Nikos Kazantzakis’ “The Saviors of God” last night.

>Your first duty, in completing your service to your race, is to feel within you all your ancestors. Your second duty is to throw light on their onrush and continue their work. Your third duty is to pass on to your son the great mandate to surpass you.

> It is not you talking, but innumerable ancestors, talking with your mouth. It is not you who desire, but innumerable generations of descendants longing with your heart. Your dead do not lie in the ground. They have become birds, trees, air. You sit under their shade, you are nourished by their flesh, you inhale their breathing. They have become ideas and passions, they determine your will and your actions. Future generations do not move far from you in an uncertain time. They live, desire, and act in your loins and heart.

> The race of men from which you come is the huge body of the past, the present, and the future. It is the face itself; you are a passing expression. You are the shadow; it is the meat. You are not free. Myriad invisible hands hold your hands and direct them. When you rise in anger, a great-grandfather froths at your mouth; when you make love, an ancestral caveman growls with lust; when you sleep, tombs open in your memory till your skull brims with ghosts. Your skull is a pit of blood round which the shades of the dead gather in myriad flocks to drink of you and be revived.

> “Do not die that we may not die,” the dead cry out within you. “We had no time to enjoy the women we desired; be in time, sleep with them! We had no time to turn our thoughts into deeds; turn them into deeds! We had no time to grasp and to crystallize the face of our hope; make it firm. Finish our work! Finish our work! All day and all night we come and go through your body, and we cry out. No, we have not gone, we have not detached ourselves from you, we have not descended into the earth. Deep in your entrails we continue the struggle. Deliver us!”

Those are just some selections. But my point is, as an Amerimutt whose family has sundered the chain of culture and tradition and left me in a void where I feel unable to engage with the historical struggle to forge an identity with my blood, what am I supposed to do? I am unable to properly historicize myself, to authentically face the world, as Heidegger might say. I do not have a People, a Narod. I study Russian language, culture, and history because that’s where my ancestors where from, but I was not raised to engage with it and see it as my own. What do people like me do?

But all you did was name drop people and insult the guy for no reason. You could’ve asked him some questions and fostered his interest but you didn’t. You’re just taking it out on him and you know it.

>name drop people
He gave the guy a reading list, lol it’s exactly what he asked for
We all know the only reason the OP would be mad is because he was actually hoping for someone to probe him for the cause of his angst

Since you are of Russian blood, I will help you out as a fellow Slav. If these are your values, read Evola, my friend. You seem like a smart guy, so I hope his works will be useful to you. He pitches a view of race that is more firmly planted in personality than in collectivity, but that makes it all the more compelling. The Traditional man is a race unto his own and can create and use his will freely regardless of circumstances. If you haven't read it, try giving the Tao te Ching a go, also.

I was just feeling alienated from my culture/community and wanted to read about the topic, the idiot made a condescending post because he was projecting I was having an existential crisis.
