OUR ATTENTION has been drawn to an interesting article that appeared yesterday on a Telegram channel called Folkish Odinism Dorset.  Written by a ‘Gary H’ from Dorset, it took the form of an answer to a question posed by a friend.

The question was ‘out of all the political ideas why do you support ‘right wing’ nationalism and why do borders matter?

The answer – in the form of an article – itself makes for interesting reading.  (On saying that, and as with many articles, there’s parts that we would both agree and disagree with.)

One section of the reply immediately stood out.  It related to the context & definition of ‘right wing.’  Like ourselves, ‘Gary H’ believes that many political terms are both pointless and ridiculous.  (This also includes self-applied terms.)

We’ve constantly stated our belief that the use of meaningless

terms like ‘left-wing’ & ‘right-wing’ is designed to provoke knee-jerk reactions.

Those who do react fall into the age-old trap – set by the capitalist elites –  of ‘divide and conquer.’  Here, different sections of the population are successfully played off against each other.

Indeed, these differing sections then spend so much time, energy & money attacking each other that the elites are effectively allowed to get on with their plans, completely unhindered!  (This is one of the reasons why the NLP promotes a culture of critical thinking & analysis.)

With all the above in mind, please take some time to read & reflect on what amounts to an effective take down of the dangers & stupidity of applying some political labels:

‘My friends point about nationalism being ‘right wing’ (?) didn’t make much sense to me either.  I had stopped thinking of nationalism as right or left-wing a long time ago.  This is just a man-made construct, designed to keep us in conflict with each other or at least create the illusion that we are in conflict with each other while the powers that be do what they want with our lives and resources.  If an idea or an action is a good one and it will reap positive rewards for our people, then what does it matter if the people proposing it give themselves a left or a right-wing label?  The only political spectrum that is based in reality has neo-tribalist ways of life inspired by the natural world at one end and universalist, man-made ideas at the other end.’
