I...Great post which deserves at least one comment:<br /><br />I listen to Metal for about 25 years. However, I never really warmed to Black Metal. I have no problem with a certain amount of goofiness if it is entertaining, but the shrieking vocals are not my cup of tea and the “Satanism” or “Neo-Paganism” is usually silly and awkward. I vaguely remember reading articles about the Norwegian Black Metal scene in early 90ies Metal magazines. This was pretty scary stuff back then. I do not think that right-wing extremism was explicitly mentioned. It is interesting to note that the church burnings have such a background. I usually tend to put events like these into the “left wing anti-clericalism” folder. <br /><br />Of the Western churches of course a lot has already been said, to absolutely no avail:<br />“In der Imitatio Friderici Engels, […], würden die nächsten Etappen in der Abschaffung der Kirchen oder der Erfindung eines atheistischen Christentums bestehe. [….] in der überzeugend richtigen Ansicht, dass man einen revoltierenden sozialistischen Humanitarismus auch einfacher haben kann und dazu die Kirchen nicht braucht, nicht einmal das Christentum. […] Bei all diesen Manövern kann man nur eines nicht begreiflich machen, warum nämlich eine weltumfassende Bewegung, […], sich mit einer Gefolgschaft einlassen soll, bei der das Im-Stich-Lassen bereits im Programm erscheint.“ [Gehlen, Moral und Hypermoral, 1970] <br />Very rough translation:<br />“In the Imitatio Friderici Engels[…], the next steps would consist in the abolition of the churches or the invention of an atheistic Christianity. [....] In the persuasively correct consideration, that a rebellious socialist humanitarianism can also be had easier and the churches are not required for this, not even Christianity. [...] In all of these maneuvers one can only not understand why a world-encompassing movement, [...], should engage with a retinue which features betrayal already in its program.”<br /><br />When I stumbled upon your blog my first impression was that you read Gehlen.<br /><br />I do not see how the moral consensus in Western societies can be changed in the foreseeable future. To cut a long story short which unfortunately has the disadvantage of sounding too much like a conspiracy theory: Intelligentsia and business community have decidedly other interests. Moral universalism not only satisfies deeply ingrained Western religious demands but it also it creates benefices – anti-racism is the class interest of our Hierocracy. Shelving anti-racism might be comparable in its effects to the secularization, there are too much jobs in the industry. With regard to the business world, well, this week the corporate leadership of VW is summoned to Quatar to explain the majority stakeholder how to solve the current crisis. What can you say. A small headline, but gives background on why even German “conservative” mainstream media have run amok on altogether totally powerless groups like Pegida and why we are embarking on a pointless pseudo-intervention in Syria right now. <br /><br /><br />And a very last thought. I still cannot quite believe that I am reading a blog like yours. I always thought I am a mild mannered centrist, perhaps mildly conservative guy. 10 years ago I would have been abhorred by Pegida.
