One day you may see things different. Under my humble eyes we are all the same. Divide and conquer has been a proven strategy for millennia. Still today we are just the result of someone else's game. Yes, ok, that sound's so nihilistic...
What's for you "the kind of meaning that makes life worth living"?
And isn't tradition simply a set of behaviours, a pair of glasses provided by previous societal experience to simply help an illusion be sustained and nursed? We are scared of death; we shouldn't. We are afraid of change instead of embracing it. Most indeed fight to keep things as they are. Mission impossible, I'd say, because everything changes, always. We are so deeply sucked into the illusion that I see no way to find truth anymore.

That implies that your position is the more kind enlightened one, and mine is the one borne of hateful ignorance. It's not. I had a more progressive worldview on our sameness in terms of sex and race and had the truth repeatedly thrown in my face and I still rejected it for years. Differences aren't bad and they don't mean we all have to hate each other or can never work together under any context. That doesn't make them less present or important. Make no mistake, the overwhelming body of evidence backs my position. Regarding divide and conquer, we are divided. That's why the strategy works. The divisions aren't artificial. They take an already present irritation and they inflame it. There are fundamental differences between peoples in beliefs too. There are many people who would kill you and take your stuff if it made their lives a little better or for "the greater good". That's not an artificial divide. There are people who wish to harm you simply because you do well and it makes them feel bad they aren't doing as well. The world is not a fairy tale. We are never all going to hold hands and sing kumbaya and buy the world a coke. Trying to make that happen is actually a greater harm than previous ideologies. The greatest harms are done in the name of the good of the recipient.
"Still today we are just the result of someone else's game."
Yes, that's because we reject the types of effective resistance necessary to change that, because abrahamism (and derived ideologies) have eliminated our will to power and indomitable spirit. Eliminating the kumbaya lens is a big part of that. Has the world gotten more free since we began to forcibly integrate and globalize? No, especially not for the European countries.
Tradition is a byproduct of a working system that functioned for hundreds and/or thousands of years. They are a set of practices that emerge from the careful cultivation of hundreds and thousands of years of testing philosophy with real life application and it cannot be stripped for parts without losing the combined essence that comprised the whole. Messing with it should be done with caution. It's like disturbing an ecosystem.
Regarding death you must have ancestral memory here ;) (havamal):
16.
A coward believes he will ever live
if he keep him safe from strife:
but old age leaves him not long in peace
though spears may spare his life
Change should be accepted and embraced when positive and rejected when negative. Going back to an older more reliable set of philosophies and practices is also a change. The "progress" of society and history is not and has never been linear. Going from the USSR back to a more market based system is a form of change that is theoretically "regression", but it wasn't. The change was the regression that required rejection.
I am advocating for a different kind of change. A rejection of hostile ideologies, philosophies, and practices that have domesticated and enslaved my people. I hope to make resisting that change a mission impossible.
Regarding the broken link, you may have to find it manually on the anarchonomicon substack. The article exists under the name at the tail end of the url, but it won't let me link it in a way that doesn't result in a 404 when navigated to.
One day you may see things different ;).

Talking about European replacement? You're getting there. It's a hard journey, but I believe in you, you're smart :).
Most benefits come from negative changes and painful ideas. Only with time we can recognize the value provided by the lesson learned. The difference is made by ourselves, on accepting it or not, making the most out of it or not. Like it or not, we rise when surrounded by shit.
Me yesterday and today:
My only counter is this: The problem can only be addressed once the scale of it is recognized. We are infested with communists and progressives and many of our own are so thoroughly infected that they may not be recoverable. Only upon diagnosis can treatment be administered. The emergence of the secular conservatives (especially secular conservative anarchism and anti-abrahamism) is a major development that reverses the unassailable inertia that has been prevalent for two millennia. No more. The momentum will begin to shift. Change is exponential. Our society is so fucking broken it is making us reassess the very building blocks of society. The house of cards upon which our society is built is swaying in the winds of change. Everything will change. It will be bloody. Things will get worse. But at the end of the day, you will have something that hasn't existed for generations:
Hope that you will live a better life than your parents and hope that if you raise descendants of strong character, they will have better lives than you. Not judged by the shallow materialism of cheaper plastic goods, but measured in the kind of meaning that makes life worth living.
Reject progressivism, reject abrahamism, embrace tradition. The tradition that lasted for longer than "democracy" has without degenerating into communism. I realize that my viewpoints are hard to swallow if not properly primed. Too bad. The patient is dying and the only remedy is the painful rapid expulsion of the ingested poison.
Hail the old gods.

Actually, that last link is valuable for everyone not just women. It does contain a focus on the importance of women encouraging radicalism though.
