“It’s a disaster: a post-humanist, technologized, totalizing system that has dragged us into a no-exit version of 1984!”
“It’s fantastic: the system’s days are numbered, the oligarchy has lost control, and its woke delusions are bringing about its collapse.”
“There’s no possible solution: people have brainwashed minds, they’re zombies—incapable of understanding, willing, or daring.”
“It’s wonderful: common sense is taking over and breaking apart the very structures of globalization.”
“A multipolar world is being born.”
“The global oligarchic power is restructuring itself, shrinking our spaces and stealing our future.”
An emotional and ideological swing set, coexisting inside our heads and alternating on our lips, clashing with one another.
Why?
Simply because we’ve gotten used to being passive: to waiting, delegating, hoping—like lifers clinging to the idea of a pardon, or abandoned lovers hoping for the return of the one who left.
And so we place our powerless hopes in others, in exotic figures who change from time to time—Putin, Trump, or other shady characters before them.
Exotic figures that the powerless routinely misrepresent, attributing to them intentions they never had.
But what matters even more than the truth of these projections is the fact that we’re assigning to others a virility we no longer possess.
Like those who, once again distorting history, celebrated the 80th anniversary of Italy’s defeat in 1945 by thanking the young men who came from across the ocean to “liberate us.”
Because, beyond the routine distortion of fascism and the so-called resistance, the very idea that a people needs foreigners to be freed is proof of how spiritually flaccid we’ve become.
It doesn’t really matter which of our existentially anxious responses is the least wrong—what matters is that we should stop asking anxious questions altogether.
Nothing can go in the right direction unless it starts from the center—from the essential.
And the essential is simple: it means aligning ourselves historically with what we belong to, having a vision rooted in our people, our nation, its roots, and its destiny—which are European.
It means acting constructively and organically, free from anxiety, to fill the social voids created by the barrenness of capitalist-communism—culturally, economically, politically.
It means acting on oneself, in the truest martial spirit, the wisdom of the warrior—defeating the first enemy, which lies within us. The one that drives us to rely on others—something that only happens when we are spiritually weak.
Imperium is the answer. It’s the vertical axis, and most of all, an inner one. When you sense it, you gain style—and you are always, no matter what, free.
