Greetings

[Alexander Gilroy]

Greetings all!

I am grateful to have discovered this forum. After years of surfing round the net, Im surprised I did not stumble across it earlier...

I look forward to engaging in discussion concerning the subjects this forum is dedicated to. There seem to be a lot of well-informed, intelligent men and women amongst you. I look forward to learning from you!

I was wondering, how many young people there are on this forum - that is, between the age of say, 18 and 22, to be general. What draws you to National Socialism, or White Nationalism, and how seriously are you involved in promoting it in a practical way? How many of you come from a far-right backgrounds (that is, in terms of your family and your family's community), as opposed to liberal and left-wing backgrounds. And, if you are from the latter, what caused you to reject it?

Was -or is- the process of rejecting the values that you were brought up with difficult? Do you still find yourself torn between the two ends of the spectrum: that which you were born into, and that which you have now discovered?

As for me, I am 18 living in Australia. I was brought up in a very left-wing bordering on liberal environment. However, upon reaching my teenage years, I began to feel strangely repulsed by the values of people around me. I felt sickened by the decadadence, carelessness and short-sightedness of my fellow peers, and began desperately to search for something else. I began to question the fanatical ideas of multiculturalism, world peace and globalism that my parents continually preached.

At first, I reacted negatively to this new awakening. I interpreted it pessemistically, and became bitter, morbid and reclusive. I began to dabble in dubious "cults", and subversive uderground philosophical/religious "movements". I ceased talking to my friends and family, and when I did talk, I scorned them and diliberately tried to provoke them, and when they reacted angrily, it only reinforced my antagonism towards them...

However, by and by my negative attitude led me into circles that were breeding pits for exactly that which I so despised: decadent, shallow, self-destructive and nihilistic individuals who saw no value in life, or in their own future.

I had, to a slight degree, become drawn to National Socialism, although I knew little of it. It was not until about 2 years ago, when I watched "Triumph of The Will" in a modern history class, that I became truly inspired by National Socialism. I then began to see it, not just as a political movement, but as a philosophical, aesthetic, spiritual, all-encompassing Weltanschauung. A way of seeing, of appreciating, of living in the world. A way of life.

However, as I tried to seek out like-minded individuals with whom to share my views and appreciations, I found only vulgar, sluggish and -once again- decadent block-heads who were uncultured and uneducated. I began to wonder if National Socialism really was just a romantic thing of the past -a dream of fleeting glory, now buried in the sands of failed aspiration.

Could we breath life back into such a glorious form, or is the world of today too polluted with decadence and short-sightedness to make such a vision possible?

My understanding and appreciation of National Socialism is almost entirely aesthetic, rather than academic. To be honest, I possess little understanding of the politics of the Third Reich, and of the practices that surrounded it. The history of the Third Reich seems so clouded, it is hard to know who's story to believe.

On that note, I must finish here. I look forward to learning more about National Socialism -as it was in the past, and as it is today.

Warm regards to you all,

Alexander

Personally, I think over here in North America, the cause is already lost. I continue to come here and pretend that everything will be ok. I am the great pretender. Maybe in 500 years there be a few white enclaves where the inhabitants shoot heroin and engage in casual sex (inside joke) but that's all they do.
