In the book Bronze Age Mindset (highly recommended read) the Bronze Age Pervert talked about the best societies were those that were militaristic and based around warfare. Sparta is a great example of this. I think there is something very deep and powerful to this. I remember as a kid my hero was General Patton (how many 6 year olds do you know that have old Blood N’ Guts as their hero?). Even though at that time I couldn’t put into words what it was I liked about him so much and what I wanted to emulate him. Although now I know what it was (and is). It was his martial spirit.
The same reason I identified with the Spartans, Roman legionaries, Vikings, Marines, Knights, Cowboys, Outlaws, Bikers, and any and everything else that a young boy raised properly will identify with. It is their martial spirit and I think there is no distinction between the martial spirit and the masculine spirit. What is life for man but warfare? I think one (of the many) reasons males are so confused right now is because they have distanced themselves from warfare and violence. Which means they have distanced themselves from their very nature. It would be like a fish distancing itself from water (we all know how that would turn out).
So I Should Join The Army?
Now I want to clarify some things. Because you may be thinking “So Charles should every man go and join their nation’s military?” and no that’s not what I’m saying. Nothing against that (though haven’t seen many who got what they wanted out of it) but that’s not what I’m saying nor what I recommend. While there are certainly aspects of military training you’ll adapt into your own life there is a huge difference between a tribal warrior (what man has been) and a unit of a modern military. This isn’t to knock modern soldiers either as most I know back me up on what I’m getting at here.
So let’s first get what the military does get right (or did, who knows anymore) that is combat training (combatives, rifle, basic survival, etc.) and brotherhood. But you don’t not need to join your countries military to experience these things or to develop them to the levels that they need to be. Big difference between a tribal warrior and a faceless unit of industrial globalist force. In many ways a Biker gang or Tribal organization represents the ancient tribal warrior more than the modern soldier (there are obviously exceptions and this isn’t a knock on the soldiers but rather the system).
Training For Warfare
So now with that out of the way let’s talk about what your life should be made of. As the title of the essay states the purpose of man is training for warfare to expand their domain, loot, and borders of their tribe. This obviously is going to include daily training and rituals. If you are your habits and your habits are what you do every day then obviously to be a warrior you have to have the habits of one. So without exception (even if you don’t necessarily agree with my outline here) every man should be getting stronger (physical training such as weight lifting), becoming a more proficient fighter (hand, knife, blade), and competing against other men to sharpen himself.
Every day you should be a little bit stronger, a little bit tougher, a little bit more proficient in deadly skills, and a little bit in a better position to increase your resources. Strive every day to be the “baddest motherfucker” you can be. Not in a laughing sense but in the real sense. You should be the guy that makes other men fear and women wet and the one that other men want on their team and in their tribe. Be a warrior not just a soldier. And realize that your purpose is to be the best one that you can be.
