1) No, I mean integral. Christianity is a load-bearing structure within the edifice of Western civilization. Pull that away, and down it comes.

2) What do you mean "How do they apply to France or England"? Do they have television where you live? If so, then turn it on and see for yourself how those countries are doing now that they've so proudly declared themselves "post-Christian". So far as I can see, "post-Christian" European society involves a bunch of limp-wristed white atheists getting pushed around by Muslims. (How do you like that new mayor in London, BTW?) Color me unimpressed.

3) Europe is the faith. The faith is Europe. The idea that Europe can long continue to exist without the faith is delusion, and the truth of that can be seen on your television screen. Reconvert or die - not just as an individual, but as a nation, a society, a culture. This is the command not of some scarlet-robed cardinal, but of reality.

I think NRx is over, but it's over in the same sense that GamerGate is over - not in defeat, but in a sort of victory through absorption into something bigger. GamerGate as a movement in and of itself is dead, but its ideas have been absorbed into fandom such that it is now not beyond the pale to stick one's thumb in the eyes of SJW interlopers. Similarly, NRx's best ideas have been absorbed by the broader alt-right - ideas like monarchy and aristocracy are now safely on the table in respectable alt-right philosophical circles, and no longer considered mere relics of an age consigned forever to the past by the inevitable march of history.

Like Pheidippides falling over dead after delivering the message of the Athenian victory at Marathon, both GamerGate and NRx can fade out having accomplished their missions.

I certainly hope not. As a traditionalist, my sympathies incline towards a Targaryen restoration. That said, and must to the dismay of many of my fellow reactionaries, I am not a romantic when it comes to the government. The government is just another corporation with a role to fulfill (though I far prefer one based on the "family business" model on which monarchy operates to the "joint-stock company" model of democracy), and the King is just another guy with a job to do. As long as he does it reasonably well (I do not, of course, expect absolute perfection), then everything will be fine. In the event that he becomes intolerable due to corruption, incompetence, or degeneracy, I have no problem with dragging him off his throne - to exile on some small island if possible, or to the guillotine if need be.

Sorry to all the monarchist romanticists out there caught up in the majesty of metal hats and ermine coats, but I'm a child of the Reagan era, and if I was the sort of person who was inclined to get weepy about the government, it would be in the standard American conservative way of going on and on about muh stars and stripes, muh founding fathers, and muh constitution. I'm afraid, however, that any such inclination has been long drained out of me.

So one cheer for Queen Daenerys. Long may she reign... as long as she doesn't get *too* out of hand.

It's more than that. It's your wolfpack of totally alpha bros. That changes everything. By yourself, you might be a socially awkward, low-T autistic nerd, but your mannerbund comes together to form one solid shield wall of manliness, which will make females swoon and make the kids who used to give you swirlies in the boys room back in high school fall at your feet and beg forgiveness.

Of course, it all starts with hierarchy - that's what makes it different from mere friendship, which is for peasants and lumpenproles. We know that young men need to be taught how to be real men by strong, authoritative older males, and that to do that, the older male needs to have a position of authority within the mannerbund. In other words, older men need to be on top, and younger men need to be on bottom. This is a key part of the mannerbund strategy as stated by its advocates: for example, if there's anything that comes across loud and clear in Warg Franklin's writing, it's the degree to which he desperately wants to be topped by Jim Donald.

---

Once you've become a full-fledged member of the mannerbund, then your totally alpha bros can help you accomplish far more than you ever could on your own. For example: They can come along and stand by your side when you stop women to question them about whether they'd be suitable wife material, and they can also bail you out of jail after you get arrested for harassment. They can log into your Minecraft server and help you build the ultimate Mannerbund Castle, of which you are, of course, unquestioned sovereign lord and where can use the Mandate of Heaven to allocate status to your bros directly. They can get drunk together, because everyone knows that getting drunk all the time is what being a grownup is all about.

---

Yes, the heart of the mannerbund idea is giving you the chance to be more than you can on your own, so if you're the kind of guy who won't ever be very much on your own, then the mannerbund is for you. One guy who can't figure out how to make people like or respect him or how to accomplish the goals he sets for himself may be weak, but together, twenty guys who can't figure out how to make people like or respect them or how to accomplish the goals they set for themselves will form a mighty force that will make the world tremble.

---

And no, you pleb, saying that a committee of people trying to accomplish a goal together is necessarily better than an individual building himself up to the point where he can accomplish it on his own isn't demotism because... well, because it just fucking isn't, okay?
