I wish that I would have kept up my ties with the dark conservatives. Oh, what I would give to be a fly on the wall in their meetings right now!
It’s such a shame that the US branch of the movement disintegrated when it did, since it was about then that I got sucked into Disney and lost touch with the Europeans that I had real, physical ties with.
The old message boards are all gone. All of them. And almost all of the old sites are down or abandoned.
Such a shame.
It’s not easy to break into such an insular culture. Especially one that positions itself as rebellion incarnate. What I *could* do, I guess, is follow the music. That’s how I got in in the first place.
That takes time, though. Most of the old bands that I know of are inactive, and those that aren’t seem a bit long in the tooth. I question how strong their ties are to what’s happening on the ground right now.
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what kind of music dark conservatives like these days anyways. When I left the movement, it was Terrorcore Techstep, Apocalyptic folk, Military Industrial, and NSBM. That’s in addition to the obvious Third Reich anthems, of course. Now, it’s… what, exactly? I can’t imagine that Terrorcore is still big these days, now that dubstep has become a thing. And I can’t easily penetrate the language barriers to learn what’s big in Apocalyptic folk.
It is nice to see the movement in a moment of triumph, though. I grin when I think of the irony of Obama trying to stop Putin with an army of National Socialists in the Ukraine. Hahahaha!!!!
That’s “National Socialists”, by the way. They’re not “Nazis”, thank you very much. At least try to be decent, people.
When I wrote Doom and Bloom a week ago I approached the Ukrainian situation as a semi victory for the US oligarchs. Since then I’ve dug deeper and I’m convinced that it was a failure from their perspective.
The intel I’ve gathered from my rather sparse sources says that the first plan that the US had for the Ukraine essentially blew up in Obama’s face. The original intent there was for the US to lead a more urban, liberal crowd into a movement that would counter Putin’s “right wing” push.
What happened, of course, is that the urban cosmopolitan types proved to be too soft for any real conflict. They folded like paper against a real military.
So Obama (or his handlers, at least), were forced to drop the liberals. They then had to swallow their pride and turn to street thugs and dark conservative types to save face and push back against Putin’s army, which is the worst possible thing for the White House right now. In the Western Ukraine, they’ve won a Pyrrhic victory. National Socialists are the #1 enemy of the US. Hell, they’re the reason that the US military is stationed in Europe right now. The US is there specifically to combat the return of anything even resembling Hitler’s Germany.
If reports on the ground are to be believed, in the Ukraine the US was funding guys who showed up to fight carrying Swastika flags and bearing iron cross arm bands. This surely isn’t what the diversity regime originally had in mind.
This whole Ukraine debacle is just turning out to be a huge, huge disaster for the US. I’ve heard it predicted that it could be the US Waterloo. I’m inclined to agree.
If Western Ukraine remains in National Socialist hands, it is game over for the US there, even though Obama “won”. With Jobbik continuing to extend it’s gains in Poland, Golden Dawn still, STILL doing well in Greece in spite of the crackdown, and other dark conservative parties doing well across the whole of Eastern Europe, it’s looking bleak for US influence there.
This wasn’t reported much in the Western press, but I remember reading on the ground reports from people in the movement about a near takeover of Hungary back in 2006 by an array of far rightists, including dark conservatives. I mean, a near takeover of EVERYTHING. I mean, there were hundreds of thousands if not millions of people out in the streets, and it took US military presence there to calm the situation down and restore “freedom”.
If it seems impossible that a situation like that could be almost untouched by the Western media, just think of how the Ukraine situation, which is even more newsworthy, was essentially dropped by the media for awhile once it became clear that it wasn’t going as planned.
Amazing, innit?
Ah well. I’m glad that I have been able to do my part and give my movement a push from the sidelines. Hopefully, they’ll take my ideas and run with them.
I do so hope they win. It will be a personal validation of my twenties, and I’m very curious to see dark conservative ideas in practice as actual policy. Will our ideas be good ones? Will they lead to prosperity and hope, as we believe? Were we right after all?
We shall see.
