of the modern left, the aversion to its bioleninist politics and the recurring mythos of the Post-WWII era, where being a nazi and a fascist is the equivalent of being a &#8220;witch&#8221; during the Inquisition. While these indeed are erroneous positions from a Christian perspective once looked closely, the abuse and the gentrification of such terms have lost their original meaning.</p><p>The modern left uses the terms &#8220;fascist&#8221; and &#8220;nazi&#8221; as a way of magical reciting for targeting individuals or groups whom they mark as dangerous to their survivorship, turning those targeted by such spell casting into an oddity to society, a subhuman, a non-human, a being whose rights are not to be recognized nor to be protected.</p><p>But what happens once the counter-spell is activated? What happens once the challenge is accepted? What happens once the anti-corps are developed?</p><p>A reactive enchantment is created in order to fight against such spells. An historical example of such memetic anti-corp development is the satanic panic in the 80s. Once the Christian fundamentalists started using the same moral panic warfare, the anti-corps were created against it &#8212; found in the New Atheists and the despicable Satanists found in the USA. They are nothing more than a reaction towards America&#8217;s Christianity.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Professor Dawkins is not just a Christian atheist. He is a Protestant atheist. And he is not just a Protestant atheist. He is a Calvinist atheist. And he is not just a Calvinist atheist. He is an Anglo-Calvinist atheist. In other words, he can be also be described as a Puritan atheist, a Dissenter atheist, a Nonconformist atheist, an Evangelical atheist, etc., etc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#8212; <em>Curtis Yarvin, How Dawkins Got Pwned (2007)</em></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Inside the New Right and the Online Right we have the new ethos of being a &#8220;Nazi Larper&#8221; as a consequence of the Cathedralist post-war mythology, where it is found in figures such as Nick Fuentes<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> and his fanbase &#8212; the Groypers. Furthermore, you may also have seen some of the clips of the infamous Gipsy Crusader, a Catholic, nazi, gipsy, anti-semitic and so on, an incredible combination for sure, but how do such contradictory belief systems work?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><h2><span data-color="#f1c232" style="color: rgb(241, 194, 50);">The Inverted Cathedral</span></h2><div><hr></div><p>Here, the <strong>Inverted Cathedral </strong>can be defined as the emotional reaction towards the current <em>Cathedral<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a></em>, where their main motivations to oppose the Cathedral are merely from an emotional perspective and pure negation. Their thinking is simple: If X is bad to the current Cathedral (which is accepted as bad), then X is good.</p><p>Your average Inverted Cathedralist was radicalized by the alienation produced by the hyperconnected and identitarian climate of contemporary politics, essentially becoming a non-aligned LLM that produces an output that you would get once Chat-GPT<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> is asked to give wrong answers only to moral questions. They will mirror the accepted consensus, but with the twist of only producing answers that represent a distorted, oppositional mirror &#8212; a force or group that inverts or perverts authority rather than aligning with it.</p><p>One of the great examples of such a thing is the infamous &#8220;Mecha Hitler&#8221; event, where Grok&#8217;s AI got manipulated into reacting against left-wing liberals on X, whose expressed anti-white, &#8220;Juiced&#8221; inclined opinions, which leads Grok&#8217;s responses to be focused on the most probable answers in order to counter such positions. On platforms such as old 4chan and current X, such behaviour is also shown, starting with trolling (demoralization), pointing out the hypocrisy of the other side (destabilization), pointing out the

center;"></p><blockquote><p>&#8220;The river of the body flows naturally into the river of action."</p><p>&#8212;<em>Yukio Mishima</em></p></blockquote><p>While <em>Mishima</em> uses this quote to show how discipline naturally leads towards our deeds, the mind-body alignment shown here also can be used to prove the opposite: The lack of discipline shown by the Inverted Cathedral in its disorganization leads towards a destructive force, but this force is totally dependent on its reversal&#8217;s existence &#8212; The Cathedral &#8212; and once the existence of the former ceases, the Inverted Cathedral will vanish while leaving a vacuum for another emotional reaction related to the new status quo of the post-Cathedral scenery.</p><p>Such behaviour can put at risk any legitimate opposition towards the current status quo, and in some cases even open a window within the vacuum created for even more hideous things to infect the current right, such as the emergence of the O9A, Society of Thule, Atomwaffen and other examples of ideologies that should belong to a mental asylum, to enter the right-wing scenery of the online right.</p><p>On the other side, it can also lead towards a radicalization of the current left, leading to a backlash through Newton&#8217;s Third Law, where an equal and opposite reaction from the left directed towards the Inverted Cathedral with an equal magnitude.</p><p>While representing a distorted and oppositional mirrored force that inverts or perverts authentic authority rather than aligning with it, and by consequence becoming a risk to any legitimate form of criticism of today&#8217;s status quo and its established ideology that controls our current world and narratives, the <em><a href="https://agentbluestar.substack.com/p/on-leadership-and-group-mentality?r=6m03gd">Ego-Hivemind</a></em> dynamics and superficial edginess, which prioritizes aesthetics, tribal opposition, and cultural warfare over genuine spiritual alignment, virtue, or divine purpose, become contrary to the <strong>Common Good of all things,</strong> and consequentially put authentic authority at risk via association.</p><p>The Inverted Cathedral will result in a total antithesis of the Right-Wing Leninism proposed by Courts Sense, marked by its emotionality, rejection of hierarchy, inability towards organization, and because of this, incapable of producing meaningful results towards the current international regime. From this perspective, you will be able to notice the two main direct manifestations of the Inverted Cathedral, present as the <em>CathWaffen</em> and the TradWaffen.</p><p></p><h3><span data-color="#f1c232" style="color: rgb(241, 194, 50);">The CathWaffen</span></h3><div><hr></div><p>The <strong>CathWaffen</strong> is mainly composed of self-identified Catholics, Orthodox or reactionaries whose values frequently diverge from Church teachings, such as the doctrine of human dignity, which is the foundational principle of Catholic social teaching, asserting that every person is made in the image and likeness of God <em>(Imago Dei)</em>.</p><p>Since the current Cathedral is egalitarian, anti-religious (especially in the case of the Western scenery), liberal, evangelical<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>, progressive and above all, a &#8220;f*ck Hitler&#8221; society, the average CathWaffen soldier will adopt a position that is anti-egalitarian, religious zealot, reactionary and Hitlerist.</p><p>Through adopting Catholic or Orthodox identity while showing a high aesthetical or identitarian emphasis on the aforementioned but operating in a misaligned way, contrarian, or ideologically possessed way. Through the misalignment with Catholic teachings established by the Magisterium of the Church, this can lead towards the exhibition of &#8220;beast-like&#8221; traits such as:</p><ul><li><p> Glorification of violence</p></li><li><p> Sadism</p></li><li><p> Anti-Social Traits</p></li><li><p> Misanthropic Traits</p></li></ul><p>Many of such behaviors can simply be explained by a lack of the &#8220;punch in the face&#8221; factor, where an inexperienced and immature young man who doesn&#8217;t know how destructive he can be feels completely safe advocating and glorifying violence, lack of empathy and total despise for human dignity, even if as a joke. As it was shown before, such thoughts can evolve into normalization and guide towards actions.</p><p>Gypsy Crusader is a great example. Even though he may or may not be just a troll, he was radicalized by constant attacks from the far left leading him to adopt his extremist views. The same way his minions, imitators or those who share a similar convergent evolutionary history of radicalization form the imaginary picture of the CathWaffen soldier, Hitler&#8217;s top boy, Usta&#353;e Croatian true patriot, who goes by the Discord nickname of skibbidi1488 with an Epstein profile picture.</p><p>As it was shown before, many of the perpetrators of such views come from the USA and Europe, maybe because of the Nietzschean vitalist and pagan revivalist ideas growing inside forums and social media due to the current immigration problem faced by those two places. But due to that influence, eventually those who face such contradictions will just blame everything on the Second Vatican Council and apostatize, either by becoming a sedevacantist or by becoming the <em>other thing.</em></p><h3><span data-color="#f1c232" style="color: rgb(241, 194, 50);">The TradWaffen</span></h3><div><hr></div><p>One of the probable consequences for the CathWaffen in a post-Christian order who searches for a &#8220;traditional revival&#8221; is the <strong>TradWaffen</strong>. Once they notice the many incompatibilities and restrictions the previous religion imposes on their objectives, apostasy will be a preferred option for many, choosing an ancient pagan religion, be it for the Nietzschean vitalist influence present in the current ethos of the masculinist fields of the New Right &#8212; such as BAP<em> (Bronze Age Pervert) &#8212;</em> or be it solely by the influence of the Machine Elves who inhabit and predate inside of the cyberspace.</p><p>This return to pagan ideals is one of the alternatives of the alienated young who choose to not comply and to not align with their own cultural environment, showing again their desire for <em>Exit</em> while still aiming for <em>Voice</em>, leading towards a constant criticism and contrarian attitude towards society. But here&#8217;s the catch: criticism is only implemented once there&#8217;s the wish to improve the criticized object, while the TradWaffen soldier shows just the contrary in his actions of furthering the distance when it comes to beliefs and values, going deeper into his own alienation.</p><p>But how does a man become a <em>Bronze Age warrior </em>if a man born in the post-modern era is nothing but post-modern man? How does one become part of a tradition that is no longer alive in its oral form and whose sources are mainly adulterated for romantic purposes?</p><p>Due to how broadly paganism is defined, and how much about it has been forgotten, and as already mentioned, adulterated and romanticized for political goals, paganism can simply be anything that proves useful and aesthetical, especially considering that we live in a post-truth society in which everyone has his own truth, where emotions and vibes dictate the political discourse of the populist mass man, whose control over himself is put in second place in favor of any external idea or entity, such as the pagan &#8220;gods&#8221; once worshiped by the ancients due to their superstitious associations with the spontaneous flow of nature.</p><div

The ideas preached by such individuals will lead towards a revolutionary and dissolutive will that ends up in a spirit of anti-union and anti-love, marked by all of its expressions of hate, which are nothing more than murder in its spiritual form.</p><p>The present corruption present in such emotional reaction driven by the stimulus thrown at them during their internal process of radicalization and, simultaneously, the external process of radicalization of our current Western society into abominable ideas being constantly normalized by the Cathedral and its propellers and supporters, transforms and changes their nature. In this cultural war being fought online, the separation between you (mind) and your identity (body) fades, the vicious aspects of human nature and its passions exhibit bloodthirsty ideas, such as the devaluation of human lives based solely upon their external appearances and supposed attributes towards race, sexuality and political or religious choice.</p><p>In fact, the overvaluation of human lives based upon the aforementioned subjects is as wrong as its devaluation, for it is the cause of our current state of things and the cause of the injustices that pushed the Inverted Cathedralist into its own path towards the dreadful conditions where he finds himself now.</p><blockquote><p>Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community - however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things - whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds.</p><p>Pope Pius XI, Mit Brenner Sorge<em>, </em>1937 </p></blockquote><p>Being contrary to life, love, community and towards any form of authority that upholds legitimacy, the Inverted Cathedralist in its revolutionary frenzy will not achieve a resistance towards evil, but the replacement of one evil by another. The <em>behemothian spirit</em> present in him will only attack when the <em>Leviathan</em> (who possesses the current Cathedral) is showing its belly while full and satisfied with the power gathered. Once the Leviathan becomes slow, sleepy and lazy, the Behemoth attacks and wins, but once the Leviathan is hungry again, the Behemoth will be defeated and the previous evil will come again stronger than ever.</p><p>What once started as noble opposition towards the Cathedral turned into an opposition as evil as its precursor, an <em>ouroborial</em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a> tragedy where the left is narcissistic, driven by envy in its more histrionic forms such as communism, socialism, egalitarianism and etc., the right is psychopathic in its more maniacal forms, be it the darwinist side, be it the technophilic side or even the theocratic centered side, with all of those ending up culminating into a <strong><span data-color="#ff0000" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Political Demonology</span></strong>, where such individuals and groups do not get closer to the image of God in their search for political dominance, but instead, to something else&#8230;</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscrever&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;pt&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for your attention!</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Digite o seu e-mail..." tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscrever"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p></p><h2><span data-color="#f1c232" style="color: rgb(241, 194, 50);">References</span></h2><div><hr></div><p>POPE PAUL VI. <strong>Dignitatis Humanae</strong>.

A diferen&#231;a entre um Cidad&#227;o e um Civil na Federa&#231;&#227;o da Terra, conforme retratado no livro Tropas Estelares e na filosofia contida em seu universo, reside primariamente na aquisi&#231;&#227;o da responsabilidade c&#237;vica e do poder pol&#237;tico.</p><p></p><blockquote><p>(Ufa!)

O cidad&#227;o, atrav&#233;s de um servi&#231;o volunt&#225;rio nas for&#231;as armadas, demonstrando a disposi&#231;&#227;o de colocar o bem-estar do grupo acima do ganho pessoal.

Stuart</sup></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Tem suas ra&#237;zes na ideia de cidad&#227;o virtuosos. &#201; a mesma ideia expressa por John Adams quando ele disse: &#8216;Nossa Constitui&#231;&#227;o foi feita apenas para um povo moral e religioso. Ela &#233; totalmente inadequada para o governo de qualquer outro povo&#8217;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mas Heinlein inverte a situa&#231;&#227;o. Em vez de afirmar que os cidad&#227;os precisam ser imbu&#237;dos da virtude dos republicanos para perdurar, Tropas Estelares questiona: &#8216;E se apenas pessoas virtuosas pudessem se tornar cidad&#227;os?&#8217;</p><p>&#8212; Feral Historian</p></blockquote><p></p><p>Nesse momento, Heinlein coloca a moralidade e a religi&#227;o de lado, mas ainda mantendo o princ&#237;pio central de limitar o poder apenas a aqueles com virtude c&#237;vica trazido por John Adams na declara&#231;&#227;o da constitui&#231;&#227;o americana. Temos aqui um conceito que toca diretamente quest&#245;es relacionadas aos direitos, cidadania e direito pol&#237;tico.</p><p>Dentro do funcionamento de estado de Tropas Estelares, Heinlein prop&#245;e a ideia de que o direito ao voto &#233; herdado, n&#227;o um direito ganho simplesmente por termos sidos trazidos ao mundo, uma vis&#227;o de mundo claramente secular, pois essa vis&#227;o n&#227;o abrange a no&#231;&#227;o de &#8220;dignidade humana&#8221; dentro deste exerc&#237;cio de pensamento.</p><p>O voto n&#227;o seria apenas um direito, mas uma forma de um indiv&#237;duo exercer poder sobre o processo pol&#237;tico, onde o sistema da Federa&#231;&#227;o cria um filtro que seleciona pessoas que t&#234;m possuem prefer&#234;ncia temporal baixa e deixa de fora aqueles que possuem prefer&#234;ncia temporal elevada, assim definindo quem ser&#225; exclu&#237;do e afirmando que nem todos tem uma voz ativa dentro da Federa&#231;&#227;o.</p><p>O processo seletivo vai &#233; o ponto principal da proposta presente em Tropas Estelares, que &#233; a garantia de uma rep&#250;blica saud&#225;vel por permitir apenas pessoas que possuem virtude fa&#231;am parte dela. utilizando o servi&#231;o militar como um mecanismo que exige a realiza&#231;&#227;o da escolha entre uma desvantagem moment&#226;nea, proporcional ao poder que a pessoal receber&#225; em troca.</p><p></p><p></p><h2>Analise</h2><div><hr></div><p>Com a apresenta&#231;&#227;o do modelo de estado presente em Tropas Estelares, partirei para a defini&#231;&#227;o da, miss&#227;o, vis&#227;o e valores, e uma an&#225;lise em rela&#231;&#227;o as for&#231;as e fraqueza presentes dentro deste sistema.</p><p></p><h3>miss&#227;o, vis&#227;o e valores</h3><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><strong>Miss&#227;o: </strong>Garantia da sobreviv&#234;ncia e dom&#237;nio civilizacional humano na gal&#225;xia.</p></li><li><p><strong>Vis&#227;o:</strong> A autoridade politica e a responsabilidade social s&#227;o de valores equivalentes, onde apenas aqueles dispostos ao sacrif&#237;cio de algo no presente por algo maior no futuro possam ter o poder de voz na decis&#227;o do processo pol&#237;tico.</p></li><li><p><strong>Valores:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Responsabilidade Pessoal:</strong> Aceitar a seguran&#231;a do grupo como dever individual;</p></li><li><p><strong>M&#233;rito:</strong> O status e o poder s&#227;o ganhos pelo esfor&#231;o, n&#227;o pelo nascimento.</p></li><li><p><strong>Dever sobre Direitos:</strong> Cr&#237;tica &#224;

simplesmente leva seu dinheiro para outro lugar (Exit). J&#225; o conceito de &#8220;Voice&#8221; &#233; definido como representa o processo democr&#225;tico e pol&#237;tico tradicional, onde se manifestam as tentativas de influenciar o sistema internamente, por meio de vota&#231;&#227;o, protesto, peti&#231;&#227;o ou debate p&#250;blico.</p><p>O modelo de estado permite ambos, tanto o &#8220;Exit&#8221; quando o &#8220;Voice&#8221;, onde por meio da sele&#231;&#227;o militar existe o filtro, por&#233;m existem limita&#231;&#245;es neste m&#233;todo, j&#225; que isso coloca a sociedade muito dependendo da militariza&#231;&#227;o e por muitas vezes abertas para vulnerabilidades internas, j&#225; que os civis ainda habitam com total autonomia o mesmo territ&#243;rio que os cidad&#227;os associados ao estado vivem.</p><p>Finalizando, a proposta especulativa de Heinlein para uma forma de organiza&#231;&#227;o social &#233; bem disruptiva em rela&#231;&#227;o ao temos hoje, ainda &#233; um modelo onde o existe no processo da decis&#227;o pol&#237;tica por meio da participa&#231;&#227;o cidad&#227;, sendo uma democracia que permite a exclus&#227;o volunt&#225;ria, onde os cidad&#227;os envolvidos no processo pol&#237;tico compartilham valores similares permitindo uma estabilidade pol&#237;tica e social por meio deste filtro, por&#233;m ainda com baste espa&#231;o para o melhoramento e modifica&#231;&#245;es posteriores.</p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscrever&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;pt&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Obrigado Pela Aten&#231;&#227;o!</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Digite o seu e-mail..." tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscrever"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/p/o-veteranismo-de-robert-a-heinlein/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Deixe um coment&#225;rio&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://agentbluestar.substack.com/p/o-veteranismo-de-robert-a-heinlein/comments"><span>Deixe um coment&#225;rio</span></a></p><p></p><h2>Refer&#234;ncias</h2><div><hr></div><p>A.

Hoffer</p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Madness is something rare in individuals&#8212;but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages it is the rule.&#8221;</p><p>&#8212; Friedrich Nietzsche</p></blockquote><p>In my previous experiences, I have observed certain behavioral patterns that are particularly intriguing. A significant number of individuals appear to accept leadership passively once someone volunteers to assume that role. When leadership is offered, opposition to it is often weak or entirely absent. This suggests a tendency toward conformity, driven perhaps by laziness, avoidance of responsibility, or a reluctance to shoulder the burdens inherent in leadership.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscreva agora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscreva agora</span></a></p><p></p><p>It is also evident that individuals&#8217; personalities become increasingly aligned with the group, resembling a process of assimilation. While they may initially strive to maintain autonomy and rationality, they eventually grow dependent on group approval. They become preoccupied with aligning themselves with the group&#8217;s ideas, values, and appearances in order to avoid rejection. This often results in a gradual erosion of individuality as though the personal ego is being supplanted by a collective one.</p><p>One of the most pressing dangers of the 20th century was the rise of collective movements, particularly during the periods surrounding the two World Wars. These movements fostered the emergence of a collective ego or &#8220;hive mind.&#8221; Although individuals may perceive themselves as autonomous, they tend to experience personal offense when the collective ego is attacked. </p><p>This phenomenon appears rooted in primal instincts, originally , I assume, selected for familial protection and loyalty to kin. However, such instincts are increasingly co-opted by nationalistic, ethnic, and class-based ideologies. These collective identities attempt to replace familial bonds with abstract loyalties, manifesting in forms of modern tribalism.</p><div class="pullquote"><p>&#8221;The select man, the excellent man is urged, by interior necessity, to appeal from himself to some standard beyond himself, superior to himself, whose service he freely accepts. . . . We distinguished the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is one who makes great demands on himself, and the latter the one who makes no demands on himself, but contents himself with what he is, and is delighted with himself. Contrary to what is usually thought, it is the man of excellence . . . who lives in essential servitude. Life has no savor for him unless he makes it consist in service to something transcendental. Hence he does not look upon the necessity of serving as an oppression. When, by chance, such necessity is lacking, he grows restless and invents some new standard, more difficult, more exigent, with which to coerce himself. This is life lived as a discipline&#8212;the noble life.&#8221; </p><p>&#8212; Jos&#233; Ortega y Gasset</p></div><p></p><p>I propose a thesis on leadership and the psychology of followership, based on personal experience, observation, and some concepts in Freudian psychoanalysis. My central argument is that most individuals behave as though they are children awaiting the return of their parents. In other words, many people remain in a psychological state wherein they still identify with the child&#8217;s position in terms of responsibility. They continue to require external figures to make decisions, establish rules, and offer some sense of certainty.</p><p>One of the possible conclusions of this reflection is not that individuals are incapable of leadership, but rather that they consciously avoid it. They eschew leadership and the responsibility it entails, not because of incompetence, but because of fear, fear of maturity, fear of letting go of the inner child, and fear of the demands of adulthood. This fear is especially prevalent in the current generation, which appears to prolong adolescence into adulthood.</p><p>To assume a leadership role is, in many respects, akin to becoming a parental figure. However, contemporary culture tends to reject traditional parenthood. The prevailing ethos of extended adolescence often manifests in rebellion against both motherhood and fatherhood. </p><p>Motherhood, in particular, is increasingly portrayed as a form of self-betrayal under the influence of modern herd morality. In this climate, even the unborn become objects of resentment, and life itself is sometimes opposed in favor of autonomy or convenience. Simultaneously, fatherhood, associated with protection, provision, and moral guidance, is vilified. As a result, contemporary society often discards the paternal elements that transform boys into men and instill a sense of accountability.</p><p>This context has given rise to a new class of leaders: individuals capable of disrupting the existing moral consensus. Unfortunately, many of these emerging figures are not benevolent leaders, but rather demagogues, authoritarians, and opportunists figures who lack ethical foundations and act not as parental guides, but as social parasites pursuing self-interest. These are not caregivers, but manipulators, discarding those they lead whenever expedient.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8212; Admiral William H. McRaven</em></p></blockquote><p>Yet one may still ask, &#8220;How can one become a benevolent leader?&#8221; The first and most vital step is to reclaim one&#8217;s internal authority, that is, to assume responsibility for oneself.</p><p class="button-wrapper"

onde havia uma distin&#231;&#227;o clara entre as disputas entre o Ocidente (Estados Unidos da Am&#233;rica) e o Oriente (Uni&#227;o Sovi&#233;tica), sendo o termo neo-medievalismo, uma forma acad&#234;mica para rearranjar-se em frente a esta p&#243;s-dualidade, onde este se faz um modelo tridimensional da vida pol&#237;tica internacional, ainda temos as na&#231;&#245;es-estado como um dos principais atores neste cen&#225;rio, por&#233;m h&#225; um foco nas transforma&#231;&#245;es do modelo moderno de estado-na&#231;&#227;o.</p><p>O neo-medievalismo pode ser observado principalmente em pa&#237;ses emergentes e estados falidos, onde estes possuem autoridades locais que s&#227;o capazes de imporem regras atrav&#233;s de um monop&#243;lio localizado da for&#231;a, como no exemplo dos quarteis que dominam territ&#243;rios dentro do estado Mexicano, ou no caso do Brasil, onde temos um verdadeiro Xogunato com diversas fac&#231;&#245;es lutando por dom&#237;nio territorial e social, com a imposi&#231;&#227;o de leis, c&#243;digos de conduta e at&#233; julgamentos que n&#227;o dependem dos meios tradicionais disponibilizados pelo estamento burocr&#225;tico.</p><p>Os conflitos territ&#243;rios entre fac&#231;&#245;es s&#227;o guiadas pelos fatores econ&#244;micos, ou seja, a perpetua&#231;&#227;o dos lucros relacionados a venda e consumo de drogas, tamb&#233;m incluindo servi&#231;os relacionados a &#225;gua, g&#225;s, energia e at&#233; internet, os quais geram lucros e possibilitam a continuidade organizacional de tais fac&#231;&#245;es.</p><p>O fen&#244;meno do neo-medievalismo n&#227;o se limita apenas a estes exemplos de estados falidos, temos como um exemplo alternativo, o caso da Coreia do Sul e dos CHAEBOLs, onde temos corpora&#231;&#245;es lideradas por fam&#237;lias poderosas que interferirem e moldam a economia, politica e vida dos sul-coreanos.</p><p>Em tais casos, temos um transi&#231;&#227;o violenta, como no caso dos narco-estados emergentes na America Latina ou um caso mais gradual como o da Coreia do Sul, onde aos poucos o que se conceitua como estado aos poucos se torna uma corpora&#231;&#227;o servindo a interesses de grupos e fam&#237;lias, o que por sua vez, tamb&#233;m se assemelha com o primeiro caso, por&#233;m, no primeiro caso o estado &#233; violentamente sequestrado por for&#231;as paralelas.</p><h2>Burocratas x Mercadores</h2><div><hr></div><p>Em seu v&#237;deo, &#8220;Cyberpunk Will DESTROY Nationalism AND Globalism&#8221;, Pilgrims Pass apresenta quatro classes de governantes que podem ser facilmente distinguidas entre se, que s&#227;o elas os:</p><p>Burocratas: Encontrado em administradores estatais e corporativos, reguladores e tecnocratas. Este arqu&#233;tipo &#233; definido principalmente pelo controle sist&#234;mico, procedimentos de governan&#231;a, documenta&#231;&#227;o e aplica&#231;&#227;o de normas institucionais.</p><p>Guerreiros: Representada por soldados, agentes da lei e mil&#237;cias, essa classe &#233; definida pelo combate e pelo sacrif&#237;cio, tendo a morte e a viol&#234;ncia como elementos centrais de sua fun&#231;&#227;o.</p><p>Sacerdotes: Manifesta-se em xam&#227;s, cl&#233;rigos, l&#237;deres religiosos e ascetas. Essa classe &#233; movida pela devo&#231;&#227;o ao Divino, pela vida ritual, pela disciplina asc&#233;tica e pela busca de um significado transcendental.</p><p>Mercadores: Incorporando empreendedores, CEOs, industrialistas e elites financeiras, esse arqu&#233;tipo &#233; definido pelo com&#233;rcio, lucro e negocia&#231;&#227;o, tendo o risco e o ganho como suas principais din&#226;micas.</p><p>Temos no neo-medievalismo, um conflito entre classes de governantes, o qual envolve a classe vigente, ou seja, a classe burocr&#225;tica e a classe mercadora. Temos neste fen&#244;meno civilizacional, uma transi&#231;&#227;o entre a primeira classe para a classe sucessora no que tange a imposi&#231;&#227;o de seus objetivos pessoais.</p><blockquote><p>Das cem maiores economias do mundo, cinquenta e uma n&#227;o s&#227;o pa&#237;ses, mas sim corpora&#231;&#245;es. Embora as duzentas maiores corpora&#231;&#245;es empreguem menos de tr&#234;s quartos da m&#227;o de obra mundial, elas respondem por 28% da atividade econ&#244;mica global. As quinhentas maiores corpora&#231;&#245;es respondem por 70% do com&#233;rcio mundial. As corpora&#231;&#245;es s&#227;o como os dom&#237;nios feudais que evolu&#237;ram para Estados-na&#231;&#227;o; elas s&#227;o nada menos que a vanguarda de uma nova organiza&#231;&#227;o darwiniana da pol&#237;tica.</p><p>Robert D. Kaplan, 2000</p></blockquote><p>Nos anos 2000, j&#225; t&#237;nhamos uma crescente tend&#234;ncia para o dom&#237;nio do setor privado em rela&#231;&#227;o ao setor financeiro global. Um mundo onde cada vez mais a sua economia &#233; dominada por organiza&#231;&#245;es privadas marca tamb&#233;m um desprendimento do sentimento que anteriormente seria dedicado ao patriotismo e o nacionalismo, onde por consequ&#234;ncia, temos nestas elites econ&#244;micas o dissolvimento de suas rela&#231;&#245;es com as suas na&#231;&#245;es e grupos &#233;tnicos aos quais estes s&#227;o originados.</p><p>Quando os Estados-na&#231;&#227;o s&#227;o os principais atores no cen&#225;rio global, envolvidos em uma competi&#231;&#227;o perp&#233;tua e em uma luta constante pela sobreviv&#234;ncia, espera-se que priorizem seus recursos humanos nacionais. Sem tais recursos, uma na&#231;&#227;o torna-se vulner&#225;vel a amea&#231;as externas. Contudo, com a ascens&#227;o de uma classe mercantil global, a import&#226;ncia das fronteiras nacionais e do capital humano dom&#233;stico come&#231;a a se erodir.</p><p>Essas elites transnacionais, que possuem ativos distribu&#237;dos por diversos pa&#237;ses, n&#227;o est&#227;o sujeitas &#224;s mesmas preocupa&#231;&#245;es existenciais que o estado-na&#231;&#227;o tradicional.

However, ideological issues tend to be increasingly forgotten, especially when we remember the Cold War era.</p><p>Despite speculation about whether we are in a New Cold War, or a Second Cold War, the ideological factor is different. Instead of Soviet socialism, we have the expansionist Russian autocracy of Vladimir Putin, and Chinese socialism led by Xi Jinping, which more closely resembles traditional concepts linked to 20th-century fascism in terms of state and economic models. Just as with China, Russia uses its strategic resources as an instrument of regional influence.</p><p>In parallel, there is a rise in anti-Western forces such as terrorist groups and criminals who take advantage of the chaos, the existence of failed states, and political agitators who seek to accelerate the deterioration of both public institutions, as well as what is traditionally known as the right and left, and the social landscape established throughout the civilizational construction that has led us to our Western contemporary world.</p><p>In this Second Cold War, we have factors such as the economic interdependence between Russia and China, the technological competition between the US and China, especially when we consider the issue of microchips in Taiwan, which is a US protectorate but considered a renegade province by China.</p><p>Returning to the Trump issue, we have the method used to deal with this new multipolar world order, as previously mentioned, a new version of the &#8220;Big Stick&#8221; doctrine initiated by US President Theodore Roosevelt.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>Here in this version we have something that a man who came from the business world would certainly favor: the &#8220;Big Stick&#8221; doctrine as a business tactic, the use of intimidation and pressure with real weight in the economy, political stability and territorial sovereignty in the latter case, of course, all this with the help of the <strong>AMERICAN MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!</strong></p><div id="youtube2-C5Qy5cD2s_U" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;C5Qy5cD2s_U&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/C5Qy5cD2s_U?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Thus, this new Trumpian doctrine is a form of &#8220;deal-making diplomacy,&#8221; utilizing the SWIFT system, secondary sanctions, and the current hegemony of the dollar as a global reserve currency.</p><p><strong>The Role of Aggression in Economic Construction</strong></p><div class="pullquote"><p>&#8220;If the question is to whom does the country belong, then the answer is very simple: it belongs to the political entity that is prepared and able to fight for the country, to conquer it, and has the necessary potential for violence to keep it.</p><p>Jonas Nilsson, Anarcho-Fascism: Nature Reborn, pg. 100-101)</p></div><p>The author of the book &#8220;Anarcho-Fascism: Nature Reborn,&#8221; Jonas Nilsson, emphasizes the role of the potential for aggression when it comes to legitimizing state action in defense of its own interests and its actions and dominance over its territory and population, which in turn includes its economic sovereignty in the national and international arena.</p><p>In times when the gold standard is no longer adopted as the monetary standard, the value of currency is subjective to the value dictated by the financial market. However, those who dictate the value of the financial market do not inhabit an imaginary plane; the players in the financial market are still made of flesh and blood, and therefore can be coerced by external pressure.</p><p>Here again we see the potential for aggression as one of the factors influencing a state&#8217;s financial decisions; after all, no country wants to be invaded simply because it disagrees with the monetary value of a currency from a country that holds military hegemony in its region.</p><p>The current monopoly of force held by the United States in the West ensures that neither the United Nations, nor the European Union, and much less the countries that are part of its backyard in the American continent, can exert influence. Its capacity for aggression also dictates its capacity for negotiation. However hegemonic the American industrial complex may be in its sphere of influence, using it at any time would damage its decision-making capacity in the long term, since over the years it has accumulated opponents who gradually arm themselves, industrialize, and become economic competitors.</p><p>While these countries become competitors, they are also increasingly capable of using violence within their own spheres of influence, just as Russia does with the Balkan countries and Ukraine, while China exercises its sovereignty of force over the maritime territory of Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, on the African continent, we have Jihadists and their armies of incels<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> imposing terror on local communities through the use of force, driven by ethnic and religious demands.</p><p>When we go to Latin America, we see the emergence of narco-states like Mexico and Brazil, where criminal factions dominate territories and impose their laws with the goal of securing their economic monopoly, not only over drug trafficking, but also over internet services, water, gas, and protection fees for local residents.</p><p>Even large private corporations demonstrate this idea, as in the case of Coca-Cola<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a>, which hired a death squad in Colombia to kill, threaten, and intimidate workers at a factory, according to a union accusation in a federal lawsuit against Coca-Cola, which was cited as a defendant. The extortion charge was immediately dismissed, and the lawsuit alleges that two bottling companies have links to political paramilitary groups supposedly responsible for the murders of union members.</p><div class="pullquote"><p><em>&#8220;Some people put their faith in international public law. The United Nations, the laws of war. I am not one of them. As much as I would love to see that happen, the truth is that international law around war is already very feeble. And let&#8217;s not forget that mercenaries can shoot your law enforcement. They can shoot them dead. Force is the only commodity that you cannot regulate, because it can resist law enforcement. And this is what makes it dangerous.&#8220;</em></p><p><em>Sean McFate</em></p></div><p>Sean McFate<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> presents us with a scenario where we see a decline in the legitimacy and capacity of international institutions operating under an outdated worldview, another remnant of postwar mythology. In this context, we see an increase in private and state forces that do not follow conventional laws of war precisely because they possess the autonomous capacity to exercise violence.</p><p>The capacity for aggression is one of the main factors contributing to the valorization of a nation-state, where the military factor, that is, the use of its legitimizing commodity, becomes essential to guarantee sovereignty, which can even evolve into a monopoly on the offering of its products and services, thus ensuring its perpetuity.</p><p>Thus, we have the concept of Kratero Economics, or Krateronomics<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>, which can be understood as the set of strategies by which a nation-state or organization that holds control over a region uses its coercive capacity, which includes military power as the basis of its economy, fulfilling the same function that gold performed in the past.</p><p>In the contemporary system, military power acts as an implicit foundation, providing support and legitimacy to diplomatic pressures, financial instruments, technological control, and economic sanctions in the form of market decisions and conditioning, influencing the behavior of other players on the international stage and ensuring the acceptance and coercive capacity of the nation-state or organization over the international economy.</p><p>Much of this article was produced following a brief satirical comment by Renato IMPERA (a Brazilian youtuber) about the American economy being based on the American military-industrial complex and some more recent theories about Neo-Medievalism. <strong>That said, thank you for your attention!</strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscreva agora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscreva agora</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/p/krateronomics-en-ver?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partilhar&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://agentbluestar.substack.com/p/krateronomics-en-ver?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partilhar</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/p/krateronomics-en-ver/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Deixe um coment&#225;rio&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://agentbluestar.substack.com/p/krateronomics-en-ver/comments"><span>Deixe um coment&#225;rio</span></a></p><p></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>References:</strong></h4><ul><li><p>NILSSON, J. <strong>ANARCHO-FASCISM:</strong> NATURE REBORN.

&#8220;Atheist Communist&#8221;, I arrived at a sobering realization: debates, as currently practiced in political discourse, tend to be performative rather than epistemologically fruitful. Neither participant altered their views in any meaningful way, and, predictably, their respective audiences merely echoed confirmation biases, each proclaiming their own side victorious.</p><p>Ideally, a debate should serve as a method for approaching truth, a dialectical process to refine understanding through reasoned argumentation. However, in practice, debates devolve into a form of consumable spectacle, wasteful entertainment masked as intellectual engagement.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscrever&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;pt&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Obrigado por ler Substack de Agent!

Would it take dozens? hundreds? Seventy-seven times Seventy-seven? And if someone were to change their views, would they not be subjected to a ritual of public humiliation, essentially punished for their intellectual honesty?</p><p>Consider Vladimir Lenin, not for the quantity of debates he won, but for the power he seized and the ideological structure he implemented. The efficacy of an ideology is less determined by its theoretical soundness than by its ability to manifest itself materially. If debate does not translate into real influence, if it does not consolidate power or disseminate actionable ideology, it becomes functionally irrelevant.</p><p>We appear to be entering a post-ideological phase of history. The grand narratives of the 20th century.</p><p>Fascism? Collapsed.</p><p>Communism? Collapsed.</p><p>Liberalism? In visible decline.</p><p>Feminism? In a state of disintegration, increasingly co-opted by opportunistic interests.</p><p>In this vacuum, power<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> itself has become the principal ideology. We are witnessing the resurgence of strong men, leaders whose authority is not contingent on philosophical coherence but on the practical ability to command and endure. Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdo&#287;an, Mohammed bin Salman, Benjamin Netanyahu and the list goes on, whether one agrees with their politics or not, the reality is unambiguous: who can dislodge them? Who truly holds the mechanisms to challenge their positions? Popular will? Democracy?</p><p>Fukuyama coined the term &#8220;End of History&#8221; to represent the perceived triumph of the liberal democratic system and market capitalism, signaling an &#8220;end&#8221; to the modern ideological conflicts of ideas. This state was enabled by the adoption of fiat currency and the abandonment of the gold standard, which facilitated the neoliberal cycle of wealth expansion by allowing the continuous issuance of debt and the broad availability of credit. </p><p>Over the following fifty years, this model proved remarkably effective; however, the United States, which bore the primary costs of sustaining this global economic order, is now experiencing the consequences of this system.</p><p>Since &#8220;peace&#8221; was largely a byproduct of an artificially sustained cycle of financial expansion, made possible through the seemingly infinite emission of credit, the exhaustion of this model after five decades is now evident. </p><p>The United States, as the principal architect and guarantor of this global order, currently faces profound challenges, observable in its deindustrialization, growing fiscal deficits, the gradual erosion of its global hegemony, and its increasing internal polarization (as of 2024&#8211;2025). These conditions are creating an opening for alternative powers, notably China, to assert their influence more freely.</p><div><hr></div><blockquote><p>The current reality in Singapore and South Africa, for instance, shreds our democratic certainties.

What I call &#8216;capitalism&#8217; here is not limited to the liberal-democratic, market-based order that emerged in Europe post-Enlightenment. Rather, I refer to a deeper, transhistorical process. The algorithmic optimization of resource allocation, competition, and adaptation in complex systems and the liberal capitalism is but one culturally specific instantiation of a broader meta-economic phenomenon, an emergent dynamic that prefigures and likely outlives its Enlightenment framing. Here I am using as an ontological descriptoin, a phase-shift in civilizational evolution wherein thermodynamic and informational flows are recursively optimized through decentralized competition.</p><p>The historical formation often labeled &#8216;capitalism&#8217;, rooted in private property, wage labor, and free markets, arose under specific European conditions. But beneath these institutional forms lies a deeper evolutionary vector, a systemic search for efficiency, surplus, and adaptive advantage, which has taken many shapes, from Mesopotamian trade systems to cybernetic finance networks of today.</p><p>The operational logic of capitalism reflects the dynamics of natural competition observable in the biological world. In many ways, it parallels reproductive strategies once detached from religious or moral frameworks.</p><p>From this perspective, capitalism emerges as a natural extension of the human condition. Nature is inherently unequal, just as capitalism is. In the natural world, the stronger consumes the weaker; the dominant leads the group. The most the weaker organisms can achieve is a form of parasitism or, in more adaptive cases, a symbiotic relationship. Analogously, within capitalist systems, the wealthier classes profit from the less wealthy, lead them, and, at most, the less wealthy can engage in service-based roles, often attempting to extract value from the dominant class.</p><p>This dynamic can be observed in certain socialist movements, which often mobilize feelings of envy or resentment toward those who possess greater resources. However, an alternative path might involve fostering more symbiotic relationships, where the less wealthy contribute value through labor or outsourced services, creating mutual benefit rather than antagonism.</p><p>Ultimately, capitalism can be seen not as a moral promise or ideological ideal, but as a natural process, an emergent manifestation within economic systems. It does not guarantee fairness, nor does it profess concern; it simply exists.</p><p>Much like in natural selection, where the environment presents demands and agents offer varied responses, success is determined by the alignment between the organism&#8217;s offerings and the environment&#8217;s requirements. Those best adapted thrive, while others must either migrate to more favorable conditions, or face extinction, or put into a more economic termology, bankruption.</p><p>Capitalism as a evolutionary substrate of intelligence itself, an amoral, self-organizing force. The markets are similar to decentralized computation systems that process information about supply, demand, desire, and scarcity through price signals, in this sense, capitalism is a distributed cognition network in which every actor in a market (consumers, firms, investorsand etc.) contributes localized decisions, these decisions send signals through prices, which function as compressed data streams that may inform future behaviors and over time, this forms a type of feedback loop where the system &#8220;learns&#8221; to optimize production, allocation, and efficiency.</p><p>The Soviet Union provides a historical example of what happens when you have the removal of this aspect, by removing the information encoded in prices and replacing it with centralized planning, the system severed the adaptive feedback loop. Planners lacked access to real-time, distributed signals about shifting needs and resource constraints. As a result, inefficiencies proliferated, because the system lost its capacity to self-regulate through feedback, In the absence of a self-organizing signaling mechanism, such as dynamic pricing, the Soviet system lacked a functional medium through which value-differentials could be encoded and transmitted. This severely impaired its capacity to perceive demand patterns, evaluate opportunity costs, and distribute resources efficiently. The result was not just economic inefficiency, but a kind of cognitive blindness at the level of the system itself.</p><p>The system doesn&#8217;t think, but it adapts, functioning like a Shoggoth from the Cthulhu Mythos, tuned to energy input and output, constantly mutating in response to pressure, it emerges from the self-organization of thermodynamic and informational flows over time, like a thermodynamic intelligence that bootstraps itself from chaos.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://agentbluestar.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Substack de Agent!
