Greco-futurism: Solution for NRx trichotomy

anon_qoho said in #5194 18h ago: received

Spandrell has written about the three different sides of NRx who are against the Cathedral.

1) Ethno-nationalist
2) Christians (Theonomists)
3) Accelerationists (techno-commercialists)

My proposal solution is to bring a closer unity through focusing in the greeks. The central question is "if the Greeks where here today, and had access to our technology, what would they build? how would they solve our problems?"

1) Convince the ethno-nationalists to put Ancient Greeks above their local petty nationalistic appreciation – to believe that the best civilization to aspire to is the Greeks, and that their own particular nationalism (that be, Anglo, Spanish, Nordic, American, Argentinian, Australia, etc etc) comes second.

2) Convince the Christians that the foundations that made their religion possible is the Greeks, and they are to be admired.

3) Convince the techbros that there are critical insights for tech development in the Greeks - Odysseus crafting his own boat in Odyssey 5, Pelops sabotaging Oenomaus' chariot in the Olympia origin myth, Icarus and Daedalus is not about "technology bad" but "technology good, as long as you don't try to be god", and so on.

I think there's something to explore here. Specially as a current that can build bridges between these three groups + build something that the normies can look up to, and something that is sexy enough that the shitlibs can't help themselves but want to join.

I love the Ancient Greeks.

However, I don't think it's ever a good plan to "Convince faction X of thing Y they don't believe." A much better plan is "Promote Y as best you can, and as one part of that, show how it's also relevant to X."

I love the Ancient G received
