It takes BALLS to be a WARRIOR
5-23-10
Beach wrestling today is all about takedowns ONLY.
Beach wrestling is about takedowns.
Just like the Ancient Greeks.
The guys wrestle in a circle, on the sand.
It's totally natural, just like Ancient Greek Wrestling.
This is how the Ancient Greeks wrestled for 1000 years.
HOWEVER.....The Greeks wrestled naked, on the sand, in a round area -- about the size of a wrestling mat used today. The match was decided by 2 out of 3 takedowns. This totally nude male ritual of wrestling made them intensely aware of their own testicle-driven masculinity.
Wrestling for them was basically hand-to-hand training for the battle field. And this training very naturally evolved into a sport for the Greeks.
It was necessary in the Ancient Greek world for a male to be a citizen and a soldier at-the-ready throughout his adult life.
Wrestling at the palaistra-gymnasion was THE stuff of life to Greek males, and it kept them fit for fighting. And this willingness to fight was the reason for their freedom from outside rule.
And, of course, they were VERY aware of their male bodies as they grappled for the throw. How could a man NOT be aware of his own swinging naked uncut penis and ball sack AND the other man's swinging naked uncut penis and balls, as the wrestlers faced off for the fight?
I've wrestled naked; in a naked wrestling match you're very aware that this male genitalia is what it's all about.
Wrestling is a mental sport as much as it is a physical sport. And any wrestler will attest to that. In a naked wrestling match I've become VERY mentally aware of the drive and energy I get from my balls. The dichotomy is that male genitals are also very vulnerable. It's how nature made the male body. However those vulnerable genitals are also THE source of aggression when needed for the fight.
It takes Balls to be a Warrior.
So in a sense, wrestling on the sand today, as Greek males did for centuries, is the continuous ritual of the Warrior Male. Takedown wrestling was, and is, the continuous, and relatively safe, acting out of natural aggression between males, in the face of minor danger TO the source of their maleness (their testicles).
So, the naked Male puts his genitals out for all to see, in the face of danger, in this ritual of the naked Man-Fight. And the men probably got their balls hurt once in a while. And that happens in any sport even today; so what? Guys take risks.
Put another way: when guys I've told about naked wrestling have asked me whether wrestling naked is dangerous for my balls, I say, maybe. But I do it anyway. I enjoy the risk to my balls. No risk, no reward.
Because of this daily ritual of naked friendly combat, the Ancient Greeks were constantly aware that their genitals were both constantly exposed and vulnerable, as well as THE source of their Male ability to Fight.
Without that male free-willed willingness to take risks, the society of free people (including free women) falls apart.
The male genitals are both the Beauty and the Beast of Man-hood.
That attraction they held for their fellow males (attraction to male aggression, and to the genitals that created that aggression) was the glue for fighting together on the battle field, when necessary, to preserve their Freedom and Individuality.
From wrestling naked, the Ancient Greeks were totally aware of themselves as well as each other; THIS awareness of each other as Men, made them Western Civilized Individual Men.
And that individuality WAS the key break from the past. It divided the East from the West. Western people became aware of each other as relative equals. That awareness was one of the cornerstones of the concept of the Citizen. Western Civilization was built on the concept of the citizen. And it really begins with wrestling -- naked.
As far as wrestling, naked males learned that you had to have balls to fight. And they learned that they were all males with balls and penises and that all men shared equally in the danger of the fight. And because they shared in that danger, they had become equals as Men.
Therefore the testosterone and aggression from their manballs were their source of Freedom. But you had to USE those balls and the aggression derived FROM them, as Free Men, to be free.
The Freedom itself was a mental concept. But the Fight for that Freedom was in the Balls.
You can't be free unless you have the testosterone to fight.
And you can't be free unless you USE that testosterone to fight -- to defend your rights and your freedoms.
That's still true today.
However today's feminist-driven society in America thinks of testosterone as something that does harm to all, that testosterone is somehow a disease or an infection.
The truth is that testosterone is only as good as the mind of the man who has the testosterone.
The nakedness in wrestling is the key that unlocks the male awareness of the men in your society. The Ancient Greeks discovered that. Once men connect, through this nudity in the Fight, they bond in a sense of equality with each other. They can even become a fighting unit of free men eventually capable and willing to die for each other in battle, as units of men who have *freely* decided to fight and die for each other.
So ancient Greeks fought not because they had been ordered to by a king. They fought because they identified with their fellow men, their fellow naked men from the Palaistra (Fight School).
In our modern Democracy, American Males in battle, and the industries at home, were able to put massive, overwhelming force into action against the totalitarian regimes of Nazi Germany and Fascist Japan.
A society of free people willing to fight and risk it all for their freedom is unstoppable.
Yes, women worked in the factories out of necessity. But the slugging out on the battle fields had to be done by men.
However, today that natural male aggression and willingness to tap testosterone which preserves our freedom and individuality is under threat from feminists and the butt-fuck fag movement -- and from all who are taken in by the man-hating feminist agenda.
Women NEED to be respected in any society. But to destroy natural male aggression and bonding is to threaten the freedom of the whole society.
Naked Male Wrestling is, with the individuality and male bonding that it fosters, in a sense how Western freedom began.
One day, not too far off, we will have naked male beach wrestling.
That will be a Great Day.

Re: It takes Balls to be a Warrior

Thank you NW.
Truly excellent!
In just this one line --
NW manages to sum up the core of Natural Masculinity:
Fighting and Loving.
Ares and Eros -- War and Love:
And Agon and Eros -- Contest and Love:
In ancient Greece, where Male Fighting and Male Loving both flourished, the Palaistra -- the Fight School -- was the scene of both male aggression and male courtship.
The two were seamlessly integrated into one institution.
Maybe I should repeat that:
In ancient Greece, the Fight School was the scene of both male aggression and male courtship.
The two were seamlessly integrated into one institution.
Think about that.
How would it be -- for those of few of you who have the brains -- and the balls -- to actually train in a Fight Sport -- to train at a school where same-sex liaisons were the norm.
And I'm not talking about a "gay" wrestling club.
I'm talking about an ordinary Fight School were ordinary guys normally and naturally formed romantic attachments with each other.
Wouldn't that be better than what you've got now?
Oh, I know, you're happy with what you've got now, being closeted at Fight School, closeted about being into guys, closeted about being into Frot.
That's a great way to be.
Right?
Wrong.
But -- NW's right that
Wrestling at the palaistra-gymnasion was THE stuff of life to Greek males, and it kept them fit for fighting. And this willingness to fight was the reason for their freedom from outside rule.
And it was their freedom from outside rule that enabled the Greeks to create Western Civilization.
That's no joke -- that's the truth.
Fighting and Freedom, as NW has said.
Greece was a tiny place, a group of tiny city-states clinging to an exposed peninsula on the very edge of Europe.
To their East was a series of enormous empires, starting with the Persian.
In none of those empires were Men free.
The Greeks has also established a number of colonies in Italy and Sicily.
And there too they faced an Eastern threat in the form of the Carthaginians, who were an Eastern people, Phoenicians, and who were eager to conquer Sicily and Italy too.
In 480 BC, the same year that the Spartans stopped the Persians at Thermopylae and the Athenians stopped the Persians at Salamis -- the Greeks in the West fought an enormous Carthaginian force at the battle of Himera and defeated it.
And in 474 BC those same Western Greeks defeated the Eutruscans at the battle of Kyme.
And it's as NW said:
Wrestling for the Greeks was basically hand-to-hand training for the battle field. And this training very naturally evolved into a sport for the Greeks.
It was necessary in the Ancient Greek world for a male to be a citizen and a soldier at-the-ready throughout his adult life.
Wrestling at the palaistra-gymnasion was THE stuff of life to Greek males, and it kept them fit for fighting. And this willingness to fight was the reason for their freedom from outside rule.
And that's all correct.
In a recent letter, Frances said to me
This society is of practically no help to people, and probably especially men, in how to live a noble, and therefore, beautiful life. One does it, in this world, in spite of all, not as a result of all the lessons that are imparted on a daily basis through the culture.
Right.
The ancient Greek word "kalos" means both beautiful and noble.
A Noble Life was a Beautiful Life.
Nobility was learned at the Wrestling School and expressed both in Fight Sport and on the battlefield.
Indeed, the Greek word Athlos, from which we derive our words athletics and athlete, could mean a combat in either arena:
In Greece, athletai could be rivals on the playing field or the battlefield.
Or, more properly, rivals in Fight Sport or in armed combat.
Frances:
I can only believe that it's in the interest of the few, I guess, oligarchs, for most of us to live grimy little lives. It serves their purpose of controlling us. You have written about how important it is for society to isolate men, and basically disorient them through a socialization process that teaches them that manhood is suspect and probably dangerous to society. The example of Classical Greece is very dangerous to this socialization process. Classical Greece could not have been without same sex eros and love. How much more naturally did they live with no shame for their manhood or their need for manly eros and love.
Right.
Our society isolates and disorients Men "through a socialization process that teaches them that manhood is suspect and probably dangerous to society."
"The example of Classical Greece is very dangerous to this socialization process. Classical Greece could not have been without same sex eros and love. How much more naturally did they live with no shame for their manhood or their need for manly eros and love."
Exactly.
And that's what NW is talking about.
The ancient Greek wrestlers he describes -- and all ancient Greek Men were expected to wrestle -- lived "with no shame for their manhood or their need for manly eros and love."
Nor were they ashamed of their need to Fight -- and their desire to Fight naked.
This is very important, because in our own society, Fight Sport is not only not naked, but is marginalized.
And yet, as NW has pointed out to me, it takes tremendous Courage to get into the Ring -- and Fight.
You can be hurt -- your nose or your jaw broken, for example.
But it's not just that.
Fight Sport, even today, exists, on the whole, outside of the oligarchic and corporate paradigm which controls, as Frances has pointed out, almost every aspect of our lives.
Fight sports are decided in a matter of seconds or minutes.
They're not like football with its time-outs or baseball with its many innings.
Those modern team sports are modeled on business -- they're about statistics and numbers.
Fight sports don't have any of that -- they're not part of the corporate mentality of modern life.
There are no time-outs, little in the way of fancy equipment, no stats or numbers beyond wins and losses.
And that's it --
You face off
You Fight
and you either win or lose.
There's always a loser and always a winner.
And that's all there is.
And whether you win or lose isn't a function of "the team."
It's You and just You.
So it's still, in many ways, what Prof Andronikos said about the ancient Greek Games:
The Games gave birth to yet another Greek idea, a whole attitude to life -- the attitude of a free man competing with his peers, naked, unfettered by any element foreign to his own body, conforming only to the rules of the game, with the sole aim of winning for himself an olive crown -- in other words a purely moral victory -- and the praise of his fellow men.
~ Andronikos, The Greek Museums, 186
Of course nowadays, Men often fight for money.
And even back in ancient Greece, some of the festivals had prizes of considerable value.
Nevertheless, Fight Sport is still about a Free Man competing with his Equal or Peer -- a very important word in Greece and particularly in Sparta, as we've seen -- with very little equipment other than mouthpiece, gloves, and a protective cup -- and no team.
Sure, he has a trainer and cornermen, but they're not out there taking the hits, and the victory or loss belongs solely to the Fighter himself.
He's on his own.
Would MMA be better if the Men Fought Naked?
YES!
Would it be better if there were no prizes or money?
YES!
But in today's world, MMA is what we've got -- for now.
In a properly reconstituted Sparta, youth would learn to Fight as an ancient Greek did -- "naked, unfettered by any element foreign to his own body, conforming only to the rules of the game, with the sole aim of winning for himself an olive crown -- in other words a purely moral victory -- and the praise of his fellow men."
Frances:
I want to live in a world in which men and women are understood to be of equal worth in their contribution to humanity, and no longer feel shame in expressing their need to be full human beings with same sex and opposite sex needs and attractions.
Right -- and in some places in Greece, and as we've discussed, at Sparta in particular, men and women were seen in just those terms of equal worth.
Now, before getting back to NW, let's look at another philosophical aspect of Fight Sport.
In my reply to Warrior Brian Hulme's The Warrior Altruism of the Warrior God, I quote the great mythographer Joseph Campbell, who says,
The virtue of heroism ... lies not in the will to reform, but in the courage to affirm, the nature of the universe.
We can abbreviate that a bit, to this:
Heroism lies not in the will to reform, but in the courage to affirm, the nature of the universe.
Let's apply that statement to Fight Sport:
Heroism is the Courage to Affirm the Nature of the Universe.
If we connect that idea with Plato's belief that between the moral and physical Kosmos -- the Greek word for universe -- there's perfect harmony;
and with his endorsement, in both the Republic and the Laws, of what the Greeks called "Gymnastika," and which was by and large training in nude Fight Sport --
We can see that, in the Greek view, as in ours, the Fighter Affirms the Nature of the Kosmos.
Every time a Fighter enters the Ring -- He Affirms the Nature of the Kosmos.
As we said, it takes enormous Courage to Fight -- to Fight in the Ring.
The Ring -- the Ring of Naked Valour, the Ring of Men's Hot Raw Sweat, the Ring of Blood.
The Ring -- ManSpace, FightSpace, ManFightSpace.
Every time a Fighter enters that Ring -- He Affirms the Nature of the Kosmos.
The Male and Aggressive Nature of the Kosmos.
The Warrior Kosmos.
The Warrior Kosmos is a timeless aspect of the Kosmos.
And the Fighter affirms that Kosmos -- in the only way it can be affirmed -- with his very body and soul.
It is, ultimately, per Campbell, a mystical affirmation.
And an Heroic act.
It takes Courage to enter the Ring, Courage to Affirm the Nature of the Kosmos.
And doing so is, ultimately, ennobling.
Finally, I want to return to this statement by NW:
Because of this daily ritual of naked friendly combat, the Ancient Greeks were constantly aware that their genitals were both constantly exposed and vulnerable, as well as THE source of their Male ability to Fight.
Right.
As I talked about in the last section of my reply to Warrior Brian Hulme's The Warrior Altruism of the Warrior God, the Greek conception -- the conception of these Men who engaged in Nude Fight Sport daily -- their conception of the male genitals was very different from our own.
For one thing, of course, they didn't view the male genitals as shameful or bad or in any other way negative.
To the contrary -- they thought the genitals should be treated with reverence -- and awe.
For example, there were Greek names which combined one of the Greek words for male genitals -- "medes" -- with other words.
One such name -- the name of a Spartan Hero who had his own shrine -- was Eumedes -- Eu = good; medes = male genitals; Eumedes = Good Male Genitals.
And of course the male genitals are the source of Virility -- so Eumedes could be read as Good Virility -- but only if we're clear that the first meaning of medes is male genitals, and to a Greek, that meaning would always be present in the word.
So -- another example is the name of the Trojan boy who became Zeus' beloved and whom Zeus made immortal -- Ganymedes.
Gany = delighting in; medes = male genitals -- Ganymedes = Delighting in Male Genitals.
Then there's Nikomedes, the king of a Greek state called Bithynia.
Niko = victory; medes = male genitals
So his name meant Victorious Male Genitals or Victorious Virility.
Again, the Greeks were very clear, as NW is, and as all of you should be, that the male genitals are the source of Virility.
That's one of the reasons our present so-called civilization wants to keep them hidden and an object of shame -- because in that way Virility and Manliness are also hidden and shamed.
Again, the Greeks took a very opposite view.
Like I said, Nikomedes was the king of Bithynia, a Greek kingdom, and he renamed the principal city Nikomedia.
So if you lived in Bithynia, the main town was called Victorious Male Genitals.
And everyone knew it.
And it was in Nikomedia, about three hundred years after King Nikomedes had changed its name, that the Roman Emperor Hadrian met his boyfriend, Antinous.
With whom he lived and whom he loved -- very openly.
So there are connections, as NW understands, between Male Nudity, Nude ManFight, and Male Freedom.
And those connections are profound.
If you want to be Free, and Free to be a MAN, then you have to be Free to Fight, and to Fight Nude.
What NW is telling you is that Nude ManFight is the basis of Freedom -- and of Manliness.
And he's right -- 100% right.
Nude Man Fight.
The Nude part is important -- but so is the Fight part.
Which means, if you wanna be a Warrior, dude -- you better learn how to Fight.
That being so, let's get back to NW -- who does know how to Fight -- and some of the nitty-gritty of Wrestling and Nude Wrestling.
In a follow-up email, I asked NW whether guys doing take-down wrestling -- as in beach wrestling -- would do the sort of "crotch grab" or "ball drag" moves he's described in posts like Total Masculinity.
Because I wanted to know how much contact guys wrestling naked would have with each other's naked ball sacs.
This is NW's response:
The wrestling move you're referring to is more of a hip-toss. Officially you're supposed to "pull" up (with your fore-arm actually not your hand) on the guy's crotch on one side of his ball sack or the other.
Again, it's one of those "guy things" that wrestlers learn in the all-male wrestling room. "Don't hurt your training partner." So don't hurt his balls and he won't hurt yours.
In a match, where your opponent is NOT your buddy for 6 minutes, the guy you're fighting is not your buddy. In that 6 minute furious fight, if your fore-arm pulls up on the guy's ball sack and he reacts by coming up to his knees and that makes it easier to toss him on his back, then THAT is what you do.
Pull the guy to one side and over, expose his back to the ground, and you win the match.
It's a wrestling match; you both have balls; it's part of the fight. Wrestlers just deal with it.
Now you get girls in the wrestling room, and it weirds it all out. Don't want to pull too hard on their maxi-pads if you're doing the same move. HOW WEIRD IS THAT!?!
Anyway, if you look closely at the Turkish Wrestling pics, they're doing essentially the same thing: Crotch Toss, Crotch Lift, Hip Toss. It's all the same move.
The Man DOING the move is "in control." The "bottom man" having the move done TO him is being tossed, which will decide the match. That is because the bottom man gets his back exposed to the ground while being under the control of the Top Man.
THAT would make sense in a military training scenario. The objective in hand to hand (pre-industrial) warfare is to ALWAYS come out on top...so you can kill your opponent, and keep fighting.
Wrestling teaches that mentality to a man.
So....In the Beach Wrestling the top man is not actually "grabbing" the balls of his opponent. The top man is trying to exploit his own (VERY temporary) Top Position.
("Wrestling is a game of Position and Control; and notice...I said Position FIRST and control, SECOND; the one comes before the other, and NOT the other way around." -- Coach)
The Tossing of the bottom man over onto his own back, just once, wins the match by a "Fall." Traditionally, 2 out of 3 of these contests, wins the match.
It is a simple concept. It is mentally built in to any guy. It's driven by our testicles. It is a LOT of fun. It is totally irresistible. And it can be, and has been traditionally done, totally naked by men for 1000's of years.
Wrestling....True Standup-throw-the-man-wrestling...as practiced for 1000's of years around the World universally (WITHOUT Resilite mats, and nylon/Lycra singlets and modern Olympic/collegiate points) is actually a VERY simple sport to understand. Boys take to it naturally. It's built-in.
I hope to try it one day at a nude beach. It WILL catch on one day.
Bill Weintraub:
Thanks, NW.
Guys, here are two more emails from NW:
Here's another good pic. It's a basic "ride" in wrestling.
And as you can see in the pic the top man can almost whisper in the ear of the bottom man being dominated. Once you're on top and in control, you try moves for putting him on his back (in modern, collegiate and freestyle wrestling). In this pic the top man has reached "inside" for the bottom man's wrist. When you control that wrist, you control the whole arm. And there are several moves from that position to try to "walk" the guy over onto his back at that point, by getting off to the side and using your feet and legs to overpower the upper body of the bottom man...
To control the bottom man, the top man has to stay hip to hip, and keep his chest against the bottom man's back. It's total body contact.
When you're both really sweaty like in wrestling practice in the HOT, HOT wrestling room, this is VERY much a turn-on time for the guys. That much body contact and slow practice movement of aggression moves, among young muscled, chiseled full-of-testosterone wrestlers gets guys' penises very hard and very turned on.
For me as a wrestler in the homo-phobic 1980's, It WAS a sense of awesome dominance AND shame for having the boner at the same time that I was learning a fight sport like wrestling--I can very distinctly remember. I was drawn to the fight, and the fight would keep getting my cock super hard. Every night, I would secretly stroke my cock at home to release that man-cum relentlessly building up in me. HOW normal I was and didn't know it then.
It used to give me a raging hard-on, to feel the butt muscles of the dude I was paired up to ride in the practice room. And as I'd do a turnover move to pin him I'd get really erect from the sensation of dominating the boy. I could not stand straight up after the move as I would have this thick boner to try to conceal.
You basically had to straddle the guy's butt with your ballsack and cock. It could be 80 degrees in the mat room with the doors closed. It smelled like Men in there. I can still remember that powerful scent. Then, with a tweet from the coach's whistle, the top man was to do the move we were drilling--slowly at first. There were dozens of these turnover moves we drilled on. It was a hot sweaty-smelling room of slippery wrestlers doing this for 2 hours at a time. I still get a hard-on thinking about it.
Man-2-Man Wrestling WAS the SWEET TIME.
We did the moves slowly and deliberately at first, to get the movement correct. We would "switch" positions and do it over slowly again. In that way you learned to trust your "partner" in a tactile way. Boys learn to "hurt" their opponent on the way to Victory, but NOT to intentionally "injure" their opponent on the way to Victory; there is a delicate, tactile balance to that mentality that boys in wrestling learn.
WRESTLING IS A GAME OF POSITION FIRST, AND CONTROL SECOND.
Switching from "top" to "bottom" the wrestlers did the moves a little faster each of 10 times or so. Eventually, the bottom man was told to put up "50% resistance" so the top man could experience the resistance.
YES this was erotic. However, it was the learning of the Fight Move that was erotic, NOT JUST the buffed bodies we had and the touching of each other in full contact. I know now that it was that Learning and Practicing of the fight moves that turned me on. And I know now that this IS totally normal. The anticipation of that body contact/aggression IS a normal male turn-on. To deny it is to promote some sort of neurosis. And to learn and experience male body contact aggression, such as wrestling, is to experience a Normal Male Mentality.
Fighting can give a man a hard-on.
Erections are good for a Man.
That's part of Wrestling 101.
It was the learning of the Fight Move that was erotic. It was that Learning and Practicing of the fight moves that turned me on. And I know now that this IS totally normal.
To deny it is to promote some sort of neurosis. And to learn and experience male body contact aggression, such as wrestling, is to experience a Normal Male Mentality.
Here's a couple of pics of reproductions of a Greek sculpture usually called "The Wrestlers." It's actually a Pankration Fight.
The top man is pulling the bottom man's arm by the wrist, like you're supposed to do for maximum leverage of the arm. This is to pull the bottom man's face around so the top man can strike him with his fist which he has up in the air at the ready to strike. That artist knew how to capture the energy of that instant.
However, the top man can do this because he already has the bottom man under control, through hip2hip contact which gives him control.
So essentially this is a wrestling technique applied to a full blown fight. And the top man feels the sensation of Fight, Control, Aggression, and Man2Man, right down to his testicles and penis.
Few things could be so masculine.
My wrestling coach used to require us to hook the leg like that, in a Single Leg Ride. Sometimes called an Outside Leg Ride. You'd really feel the sensation of the guy's body and butt muscles against your cock and balls, as you literally forced your crotch against him to keep HIS hips down, and under control. It's all about hip control when you're on the ground, wrestling around. And when you have the guy down like that, you feel it right against your dick and your ball sack. And it really feels good. I used to get a hard on from it. It was the feel of the other guy against my hardening penis, and the fact that I was in the fight struggle at the same time which used to just excite my genitals uncontrollably. It was instant boner for me.
Wrestling is Man2Man.
We called it riding. Just thinking about the sensation of dominance against my penis, and the fight the dude was giving me, and the feel of his muscle strength against my private parts like that (what we called riding the man) can still give me a boner today.

Here's a reprise of NW on Wrestling and Freedom:
Beach wrestling today is all about takedowns ONLY.
Just like the Greeks.
The guys wrestle in a circle, on the sand. It's totally natural, just like Ancient Greek Wrestling.
This is how the Ancient Greeks wrestled for 1000 years.
The Greeks wrestled naked, on the sand, in a round circle. The match was decided by 2 out of 3 takedowns. This totally nude male ritual of wrestling made them intensely aware of their own testicle-driven masculinity.
Wrestling for them was basically hand to hand training for the battle field. It was necessary in the ancient world for a male to be a citizen and a soldier at-the-ready throughout his adult life. Wrestling at the gymnasium was THE stuff of life, and it kept them fit for fighting.
And, of course, they were VERY aware of their male bodies as they grappled for the throw.
Because of this daily ritual of naked friendly combat, the Ancient Greeks were constantly aware that their genitals were both constantly exposed and vulnerable, as well as THE source of their male aggression.
The male genitals are both the Beauty and the Beast of man-hood.
That attraction they held for their fellow males (attraction to male aggression, and the genitals that created that drive) was the glue for fighting together on the battle field, when necessary, to preserve their Freedom and Individuality. Ancient Greeks were totally aware of themselves as well as each other; THIS awareness of each other as Men, made them Western Civilized Individual Men. That individuality WAS the key break from the past. It divided the East from the West.
You had to have balls to be free. But you had to USE those balls and the aggression derived FROM them, as Free Men to be free. It is still true today.
However, that natural male aggression which preserves our freedom and individuality is under threat from Feminists and butt fuck fags -- and from all who are taken in by them.
NW
This aspect of our work is the one that's most disturbing and indeed frightening to our opponents:
That we combine the Love of Man with the Love of Fighting Spirit.
Which is Warrior Spirit.
The Warrior God is the Guardian of that Spirit.
You may call him Jesus Christ as Robert Loring does.
You may call him Ares as did the Greeks.
What's important is that you understand and acknowledge
the vital role He plays in Your Life.

The reason it is so easy for the U.S. to declare wars, and to continue fighting year after year after year, is because so few Americans feel the actual pain of those wars. We've been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan longer than we fought in World Wars I and II combined. If voters had to choose right now between instituting a draft or exiting Afghanistan and Iraq, the troops would be out of those two countries in a heartbeat.
I don't think our current way of waging war, which is pretty easy-breezy for most citizens, is what the architects of America had in mind. Here's George Washington's view, for example: "It must be laid down as a primary position and the basis of our system, that every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal service to the defense of it."
What we are doing is indefensible and will ultimately exact a fearful price, and there will be absolutely no way for the U.S. to avoid paying it.
Which would you rather be
Or a Warrior?
