The shadow of perpetual guilt

In Friedrich Nietzsche’s Second Essay, On the Genealogy of Morality, he addresses the concepts of guilt and “bad conscience.”

He identifies a similarity in the German words for “guilt” and “debt,”. Herein he deduces that punishment was not meted out on the basis of guilt, but simply as a reprisal. If someone failed to fulfill a promise or pay off a loan they were in debt to the person they let down, and that debt could be balanced by submitting to punishment, cruelty, or torture. If a creditor could not have the pleasure of getting his money back, he could have the pleasure of harming his debtor.

In this thinking – the creation of guilt creates the need for re-balance. The “guilt” – is something WE have create – it is “debts” we choose to hold.

As we continue to wallow in this “guilt” as we continue to bear a burden that we have allowed to be created in our minds we hear the words…

“RACIST”
“RIGHT-WINGER”
“WHITE SUPREMACIST”
“BIGOT”
“FASCIST”

All of these words created to sponsor the burden of “guilt” we have taken upon ourselves; you feel that “guilt” most of all when you help a fellow white in public – you hear those voices; they ring out in the back of your head as though you did something wrong!

Any self-affirming thought about our volk, our people, our Western Civilisation is immediately undercut by those voices.

So just to stop the voices; you choose not to help – not to stand with your volk, those who share your blood. Lots of people will send food and money to help – they truly do care – as long as they stay anonymous; “I am nameless, no one will know. If they knew – what would ‘they’ say?”

This is the Shadow of Perpetual Guilt.

This Shadow is cast onto our children – we teach them to carry the “debt”; to bear the “guilt”; and in turn teach them to teach their children to carry this “debt”.

Is it then not time that we cast of the “debt”??
Is it not so that we HAVE NOTHING to pay??

I can only wonder what is to become of our children if we do not cast off these so-called debts…

We should instead teach our children to be Pillars of Pride so that in the future; that will not cast shadows of “guilt” but rather that they may cast shadows of Refuge in the desert that is the modern world.
