Beowulf is the Old English text most cited regarding aspects of Anglo-Saxon heathenry/paganism. However, Beowulf itself is actually a distinctly Christian epic poem. This is most plainly visible in the deployment of Christian morality in the story, categorizing Beowulf himself as "good" and the antagonist Grendel as "evil." But this good-evil dichotomy is actually generally alien to Aryan forms of paganism.

This being the case, it is possible to apply Nietzsche to Beowulf in order to deconstruct the text and uncover lost aspects of Anglo-Saxon heathenry. Specifically, Nietzsche's distinction between good and evil and good and bad as expounded upon in the Genealogy of Morals:

>This, then, is quite the contrary of what the noble man does, who conceives the basic concept “good” in advance and spontaneously out of himself and only then creates for himself an idea of “bad”! This “bad” of noble origin and that “evil” out of the cauldron of unsatisfied hatred — the former an after-production, a side issue, a contrasting shade, the latter on the contrary the original thing, the beginning, the distinctive deed in the conception of a slave morality — how different these words “bad” and “evil” are, although they are both apparently the opposite of the same concept “good.” But it is not the same concept “good”: one should ask rather precisely who is “evil” in the sense of the morality of ressentiment. The answer, in all strictness, is: precisely the “good man” of the other morality, precisely the noble, powerful man, the ruler, but dyed in another color, interpreted in another fashion, seen in another way by the venomous eye of ressentiment.

With this in mind, it can be understood that the characterization of Grendel as "evil" is actually Christian smearing of what is good. Consider two descriptions of Grendel from Beowulf itself:

>… the other, miscreated thing, in man's form trod the ways of exile, albeit he was greater than any other human thing. Him in days of old the dwellers on earth named Grendel

>Every nail, claw-scale and spur, every spike and welt on the hand of that heathen brute was like barbed steel. Everybody said there was no honed iron hard enough: to pierce him through, no time proofed blade that could cut his brutal blood caked claw

Has weed changed or have I changed?
Weed used to make me feel great, now it just makes me feel sad and quite uncomfortable with myself.

i am so miserable, and i would like to speak of why and how my severe mental imbalance came to be. little about me: my mom was born in sweden in sweden half swedish and she is/ was pretty, nice facial structure, good cheekbones and extremely smart, she learned four languages before turning 20. and here comes my idiot father whom a part of me despise. idiot iranian with 90 to 100 iq, my retard mom decided to go for some fucking moron instead of aiming high like the bitch she is not thinking. fyi she also suffers from soe sort of mental imbalance which could have aided her idiot choice. the only good genetic properties my dad has is he is a mindless twerp at times which is not entirely his fault and he is relatively tall 5.10. he comes form a shit hole in iran from some bum fuck village where half the dudes probably are inbreed and all looks the same except varying heights. well, anyway, a good thing about him is that he carries tall genes which is nice his brother is 6.5 plus, which is the only good thing i can think of right now ,hes not directly dumb but miles from my mom or any higher thinker. and i am 6.3 which is the only daving grace i have. back to what happened, these two idiots decided to have three fucking children me included like the absolute mindless dogs they are (i would never have chiildren with a idiot like my mom could have gotr a smart rich whiute guy but instead she chose some fucktard miles below her). yea, and my father growing up in iran where he most likelyt went through hunger and just messed up crap at times didnt really se the need to be super much in his kids lifes, and by the way did i mention how my mom was twenty and my dad was like twenty nine when he impregnated her, or even thirthy that fucking bastard. if i could i would travel back in time and clobber him in the end with a hammer so he never ruined me myt siblings and my mother. and yes i know that would remove my exicstens which i would gladly accept. well however these years where actually great, and i remember how i truly during that time loved my father like crazy. i would also like to add how i was born truly pure which most children are but i was born a little bit more sensitive than others, i was very shy and recluded and just needed a little bit more guidence. well these times as i mentioned where uneventful. but we moved to another city which i didnt think much of and already then i started to see my father less, he still lived in the original city, and such so aPost too long.

What is the difference between a cop shooting you in the face, and a gang member shooting you in the face? What makes the former 'legit' and the latter 'criminal'?

Has there ever been one example in human history of that invisible entity calling itself 'government' that didn't exist outside of its self-declared right to kill you if you didn't do what it said? That a tiny minority (or even one single person) one day declaring "I am in charge, now. Bow down or I'll murder you." and everybody else inexplicably nodding and going along with this psychotic nonsense?

I'm not being an anarchist nor a lolbert. I fully understand the need for this objectively nonsensical situation in order for humanity to function and prosper. Without somebody holding a bigger stick than someone else, that someone else has no reason to behave himself.

And there is no stick bigger than God.

There wouldn't be ~3 billion Christians and Muslims if somebody didn't convince them all (with violence) that if they misbehaved that after they died an invisible sky fairy would exercise incalculable sadism by trapping them in trillion-degree lava for the rest of time.

And the only reason that this schizophrenic idea stuck is that somebody with a big stick told everyone else that "this bronze age book of barbaric bedtime stories is all true and in fact nothing is more true than it, so do what it says or I'll kill you AND THEN you will 'die the second death' by being trapped in trillion-degree lava until the end of time".

What is the point of this OP? Nothing, really. Just had this on my mind while lamenting that existence in its current form was a ghastly mistake, if there really is some sort of unmoved mover and ground of all things that created it. And that if there is no outside-of-time-and-physicality lawmaker behind the invisible concepts we call the laws of nature, that all there has ever been and all that there ever will be is a fully-automatic universe consisting of incomprehensibly small bits and bobbles bouncing around in the cosmic void, then there is no such thing outside of things, that what we call "concepts" are just us trying to cast invisible nets around invisible nonsense to try and make sense of an ultimately senseless existence.

Happy fucking Caturday.

AI and aliens: schizo predictions thread

For the longest time religion served as a tool of power and authority. In God we trust(ed). Then people found out about different cultures and different religions, and the one and only religion became one of many religions.
>which religion is the right one?
>which god is the true one?
>how can we know it's the one that's ours and not theirs?
These questions drew man away from religion, and the want for verifiable truths brought him to a new paradigm.

Trust the science. Science has been the authority for the last hundred years or so, but you could argue that this started as early as the renaissance. Some even believe science without any skepticism, as if it was the new religion. Well, as it turns out, science too can be corrupted and compromised, and people are beginning to wake up to this fact. It is becoming increasingly apparent that "science" serves large corporations and globalist rulers.

Currently we are transitioning to a new period of post-truth. Objective facts are losing their value, and the new power lies in appeals to emotion, sensationalism, and demagogy. But I believe such a volatile state cannot last for long, and so the powers that be are preparing new, undeniable authorities for us.


Artificial Intelligence - you wouldn't argue with a super intelligent computer, right? Who are you, with your tiny brain and limited perspective, to think you know better than AI who has access to unimaginable stores of information. AI knows what's best for you.

Aliens - you wouldn't distrust super dimensional, far more advanced entities, right? They understand more than you can ever know. Your perspective is like that of an ant on a sheet of paper, while they can bend and fold the paper to their will. Are you really so full of yourself that you would think you know something they don't? (Check out Project Blue Beam)

Both of these are fake and gay, but the powers that be are gradually introducing the awareness of these, and the possibility of a one world government under their rule. The globalists will probably establish a proxy authority, supposedly relaying the AI/alien intentions and mediating our relationship with them.

Recently, a bunch of CCP bugs have been flooding my country and subverting everything. Literally every house in the Canadian real estate market is owned by these bug people and they straw buy these houses as a front for their fentanyl drug money laundering so that Canadians can't buy homes. Not only that but more of them are lobbying our governments and taking jobs from Canadians. We're literally having a chinkpocalypse right now.

A thread about how to maximize your money. We all know that plenty of wiz here are either NEETs (and if luck enough has NEETbux) or work, usually, not that high paying job, the point of this thread is then about tips, tricks and guide on how to maximize your money, how to get more bang for your buck. Post cool guide and tips on how to cheapstakemaxxing.

How is it that white people have become so pathetic and self destructive in modern times? They can't express pride or love for their own people and skin color without being called racist, every predominately white country is expected to be flooded with other ethnic groups, and when those groups begin to take over by way of gaining political power its celebrated as progress. Whites no longer being the majority in their own countries is seen as a good thing, when the inverse would be seen as colonialism. What the hell happened?

I'm a catholic, I hate tradcath zoomers because they're degenerates (I used to have discord -big life mistake, I know- so, I know them) BUT I realize something is very ,very wrong with the Church in theology, sacraments, Orders, liturgy, penance and preaching, etc
I kinda narrowed down the possible alternatives\solutions to the mainstream RCC Church. I hope Im wrong and Francis is just the true Pope and that's it, because the implications are cosmically abominable for humanity, otherwise.
what say ye, about these here folk?
