Clearly, such people are either too stupid to use the filter system, can't tell the difference between fiction and reality (and project that onto authors), or somehow want to trigger themselves. 🙄
Reconstructing Ethnonationalism via a Right Hegelian Dialectic
To reconstruct ethnonationalism through a Right Hegelian lens is to move away from the "Left Hegelian" project of totalising universalism. While Left Hegelianism seeks to dissolve the particularities of culture, race, and nation into a global, abstract Spirit (Weltgeist), Right Hegelianism asserts that the Universal can only be realized through the Particular. In this framework, the nation is a necessary mediator between the individual and the absolute.
The Dialectical Movement:
Thesis: The Organic Ethnos (The Particular)
Antithesis: The Liberal Universal (The Abstract)
Synthesis: The Historicized Nation (The Concrete Universal)
I. The Thesis: The Organic Particular
The starting point of this reconstruction is the Thesis: the recognition of the ethnos as an organic entity. In Right Hegelianism, the "Concrete" is superior to the "Abstract." An abstract human being—a "citizen of the world"—is a vacuum; they possess no history, no ancestral language, and no inherited moral horizon.
Ethnonationalism, in its reconstructed form, posits that the individual's identity is an inheritance, not an autonomous choice. The Volksgeist (National Spirit) is the primary reality. Here, the biological and the cultural are merged as the material expression of a specific spiritual trajectory. The thesis asserts that the ethical life (Sittlichkeit) is only possible within a community that shares a common ontological root.
II. The Antithesis: The Tension of Universalism
The Antithesis emerges in the clash between the particular ethnos and the demands of the modern, globalized world. The liberal-universalist critique argues that ethnonationalism is exclusionary and primitive. It proposes a "Universal Man" who is stripped of ethnic markers to achieve a sterile equality.
However, from a Right Hegelian perspective, this universalism is actually a negation of reality. By attempting to erase the ethnos, the liberal project creates an alienating void. The individual finds themselves floating in a sea of interchangeable commodities, devoid of the "rootedness" required for psychological and spiritual wholeness. The antithesis, therefore, is the experience of anomie—the spiritual loneliness of the man without a people.
III. The Synthesis: The Concrete Universal
The reconstruction reaches its peak in the Synthesis, or what Hegel would call the Aufhebung (sublation). The synthesis does not discard the ethnos for the universal, nor does it retreat into a primitive tribalism. Instead, it recognizes that the only way for a people to truly contribute to the human story is by being fully themselves.
A reconstructed ethnonationalism posits that the "Universal" is not a single, monolithic culture, but a chorus of distinct nations. The "Concrete Universal" is the realization that the value of humanity lies in its diversity of specific expressions.
In this synthesis, the nation-state is viewed as the necessary vessel for the Spirit. The ethnonation is more a garden to be tended than a wall to keep others out. By preserving the unique genetic, linguistic, and spiritual heritage of the group, the nation ensures that a specific "way of being human" is not extinguished by the homogenizing force of globalism.
Conclusion: The Return to Spirit
The Right Hegelian reconstruction of ethnonationalism transforms it from a reactionary impulse into a philosophical necessity. It argues that the individual can only attain true freedom when they are embedded in a community that recognizes their essence.
By synthesizing the biological reality of the ethnos with the historical consciousness of the state, we arrive at a vision of society where the particular is not an obstacle to the universal. The ethnos is thus reclaimed as the fundamental unit of human meaning, ensuring that the tapestry of human existence remains rich, varied, and authentically lived.

What does it do to children to protect them by looking at them as a pedophile would, to linger over depictions of their genitals, and what does it to do us as adults to ask these questions when we look at pictures of children?
The descent from Adam issues forth two radically different lineages: that of Cain and that of Seth. We are told to revile Cain, but it is to Cain that the Bible attributes the building of the first city. It is Cain's descendants Jabal and Jubal who initiate the domestication of cattle and invent musical instruments, and their descendant Tubal who invents metallurgy. As for Seth, those who worship the philosophy of handicapping eagerly claim him as an ancestor, but the Bible attributes not a single great accomplishment to either Seth or any of his descendants prior to Noah, who is the antithesis of the handicapped ideal. There are two lines of Man. Let us claim the one of city-builders.
