I’m starting to wonder if Comenius didnt write the Rosicrucian manifestos. It seems increasingly clear to me that Rosicrucianism has a Hussite/Taborite core, that the concepts used trace back to Jan Hus and that Rosicrucian terminology is modified from phrases Hus used

The idea of the “invisible college” is right here: corpus mysticum universale eccles corcumex Christo et collegio predestinatorum veraciter constitutum

The universal mystical body, truly established by Christ and the college of the predestined.

The Temple of the Rose Cross is such a striking and original image, but what’s the source of that imagery? This militaristic, temple-tank on wheels? I can’t help but see some resemblance to the Hussite battle wagons. Am I crazy?

The Rosicrucian temple comes from an obscure figure, Daniel Mögling, whose history I don’t know yet. But at the outset of the Thirty Years War he began work on a translation of Philip Sidney’s The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia. That can’t be some change coincidence

That Philip Sidney was sent on intelligence mission to Central and Eastern Europe between 1573-1577 to collect information on the Turkish incursion in Hungary, and that during this time he even nearly a candidate for the crown of Poland is absolutely bizarre, forgotten history

What exactly is going on here? Suddenly a seemingly innocuous poetic work like the Arcadia takes on a totally unexpected ideological and geopolitical character. And Sidney was Dee’s devoted student. And Dee’s main patron was Sidney’s uncle, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester

Why is it that John Dee’s angelic summonings for the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II involve the Anti-Christ in Turkey, and Rudolf leading an apocalyptic war against the Ottomans? How is this not exactly an ideological mystification of Philip Sidney’s explicit geopolitical program?

When I said that John Dee may have been sent to continental Europe to assassinate the king of Poland to advance England’s diplomatic agenda in Eastern Europe to access Russia’s markets via the Eastland Company, that’s not a joke. That’s very likely actually what really happened

It’s true. All of it.

All online political discourse, all the takes and owns, all has as its exclusive and ultimate aim, not the improvement of material conditions in reality, but the control of the cybernetic psychological warfare machine that forges reality. There’s nothing noble about participating

Demonstrating or amplifying performances of morally laudable opinions in service of this competition and the increasing of the share of influence possessed by people whose leveraging of that influence you believe you will materially benefit from does not make you a good person

It’s through the ability to manipulate or influence the appearance of public opinion consensus thar power is wielded, as the fictive construct of that consensus is the illegitimate ground of action by the liberal state. But this mechanism is inherently always fraudulent

Never forget how the Papists persecuted the Church. The Catholic Church is the Anti-Christ. Popery is the denial of the reality of the Lord’s Universal Church.

I think I just permanently broke a lot of people’s brains on this site, where now they compulsively photoshop a picture of me at an apple orchard with my wife over and over again for all eternity into increasingly incoherent, disintegrating phantoms of my social media “brand”.

It’s fascinating to be a part of.

My name is William Clark.

Western critiques of liberalism are all inherently poisoned by the non-critical, ingrained liberal perspective of the supposed critics. Every online Leftist faction or clique seems unable to avoid framing their argument entirely in terms of their own immediate consumer experience

Liberalism is bad because of *minor social or consumer inconvenience* which means *nonsensical, extreme over generalization pathologizing liberalism into a hatred of fundamental dimensions of human experience*

“Liberals want kids to have to wear helmets when riding bikes. Therefore liberals *hate* childhood”

Four masterpieces.

And this. One of my favorite live renditions of a song. Goes unbelievably hard. Wish it was longer.

Neil Young’s music from this era is pervaded with an apocalyptic atmosphere that attains a bleakness most wouldn’t immediately associate with him. It honestly frequently goes too fucking hard to listen to. It’s dark, black, terrifying fucking music
