Much of right-wing thought (e.g. politics, literature, arguments, etc.) is rooted in pessimism. To be more precise, most of modern right-wing thought can be philosophically diagnosed as slave morality. In other words, it’s a reactionary rebellion to the status quo with the acknowledgment that the position is powerless. As the Left has successfully demonstrated, slave morality (within the dynamics of Western Civilization, where the moral high ground swings the pendulum of power) can be revolutionary if its adherents are of the revolutionary personality type (right-wingers typically aren’t). Due to the success the Left has had subverting power via victimhood (i.e., slave morality), the Right has essentially morphed into late-90s liberalism (e.g. “democrats are the real racists who invented the KKK,” “anyone can come in as long as they do it legally,” “happy holidays,” “undocumented migrants,” “diversity is our strength”) as a way of trying to stay politically competitive.
The defining component of slave morality (which I like to call the “hate-me blame game”) is ressentiment, or hostility directed at those deemed oppressive and therefore the source of their frustration. The intent here isn’t to critique the power structure in order to justify who can harness the power of slave morality, rather the intent is to incite self-reflection and pose the following question: Are you a master or a slave?
The antithesis of slave morality is obliviously master morality. The essence of master morality is nobility. Common behavioral traits for those who exhibit master morality are strong will, courage, trustworthiness, high self-esteem, physical and mental health, masculinity, and unconcerned to receive validation for their feelings. They lead by example, and set their own rules. Ultimately, they are the arbitrators of morality and have an innate understanding of right and wrong.
Contrarily, the essence of slave morality is utility. The common traits of people afflicted with slave morality are pessimism, cynicism, physical and mental ill health, femininity, deceptiveness, fearfulness, low self-esteem; perhaps most importantly, they seek validation for their feelings above all else. Their morality is based on their feelings, and they view most things as a malleable social construct. They are followers who have no desires to become masters, but instead want everyone to become a slave.
A simple societal observation reveals the power of slave morality when implemented effectively. The emphasis is placed on “implemented,” as slave morality is an irrelevant mindset in and of itself. However, this mindset becomes relevant once it comes under the perview of social engineers with an agenda. Nonetheless, the path to power has become who can claim to be the biggest slave (victim). Consequently, the Right have become slaves to slave morality.
The refutation to the master/slave morality dichotomy is to reclaim one’s individual will. Liberation of the will isn’t a choice between the binary options of bad or worse; it’s emotional indifference and rejection of anything that isn’t representative of your values. Don’t compromise your integrity. Instead, focus all of your energy on you (and your loved ones) and on being the best version of yourself that you can be. Let the slaves grovel for the title of most oppressed while you influence others by radiating good moral character. And how do you do that?
Be positive: The first thing one must do is to stop being pessimistic and approach life from a positive perspective in all things you do. Leave the whining to the slaves. Become a master of your emotions and thoughts. Wake up every day grateful that you’re alive. Every morning ask yourself how you can be a better person, and enact it. Do a daily good deed. Create a life you can’t wait to wake up to. Never take life for granted, or underestimate how short it is (on the topic of time, the cosmic calendar – the chronological scaling of 13.8 billion years of the universe to a single year – puts modern history at December 31, 11:59:59.
Establish good habits: habits are the driving force behind many of our daily actions. In fact, 40% of what we do is habit. Understanding the rule of habits (cue, routine, reward) and its ability to shape our behavior can have a dramatic impact on our self-improvement. One of the favorable things about the digital age is the amount of information we have at our disposal. There is a plethora of information on the study of habit modification. One of the better books I’ve read recently is a book titled, The Power of Habit. If you’re looking for a book that can be influential in the improvement of your routine, I highly recommend it.
Reject modernity: When liars control the information systems, you’re going to be lied to. Western societies have devolved into a low-trust cesspool of misinformation. Nothing exacerbated this phenomenon more than the Covid pandemic. There is no reason to expose yourself to lies and manipulation. The information systems aren’t just deceptive, they’re explicitly anti-White (they don’t even try to hide it anymore). Why would any White person get their information from a source that hates them? Turn the TV off.
Embrace struggle: One of the main reasons we find ourselves in the situation we are in is the desire for struggle. Throughout all of humanity, the struggle to overcome and survive has been what has defined us. Although we have overcome the struggle to survive, we have not overcome the desire to struggle. We are victims of our own success. White supremacy gave us Western Civilization, which in turn begot the epidemic of problems-of-luxury that have temporarily solved the existential crisis for the slave. Make no mistake about it, slave morality is a byproduct of White supremacy. The “onward and upward” innovative drive of the White consciousness is the conundrum that creates the very chaos it seeks to conquer. Such is the ebb and flow of struggle.
There are several ways in which we can embrace struggle on an individual level that doesn’t result in collective White saviorism (e.g. curing world hunger, climate change, open borders for White nations, etc.). In other words, create your own struggle by making yourself uncomfortable on a daily basis, as opposed to trying to save the planet. This alone will stimulate personal growth. Some of these things are:
- Digital minimalism – minimize or eliminate screen time. Studies have shown that our brains are just not evolved to handle the amount of information we overload it with. The average person spends 5 hours per day staring at a screen. That’s almost half the time you are awake. Not too mention, there are a ton of negative side effects that come with excessive screen time. Long term this might not seem like struggle, but initially digital withdrawal will be tough.
- Cold showers – take a cold shower every morning. This is something I can’t recommend enough. To force yourself to take a cold shower first thing in the morning not only has a lot of health benefits, but it provides a sense of accomplishment to start the day. It’s make your bed everyday with an exhilarating endorphin rush and spike of testosterone.
- Nature resets – implement the 20-5-3 rule for spending time in nature. Nothing gets us closer to our primitive state like spending time in nature. And considering the average American spends 97% of their time inside, this is a no-brainer. The 20-5-3 rule was formulated by Dr Hopman when he studied the neurological changes after people spent multiple days in nature. The 20 is for 20 minutes of green space 3 times per week. This has shown to lower cortisol levels, boost cognition and improve mental health. To ramp up those benefits, you should spend 5 hours in semi-wild nature once a month. And perhaps most importantly, the 3 is the actual nature reset, where one spends 3 days isolated in nature at least once a year. On day 3, studies have shown that brainwaves mimic that of a meditative state and creativity is boosted by as much as 50%.
- Fasting – Until recently, if one word were to be used to describe the human condition, hunger could very well be that word. Nowadays, only about 30% of the time we eat is because of hunger, the rest is from routine, boredom or gluttony. Fasting puts us in touch with the struggles hardwired in our genetic memory. There are several health benefits of fasting, including autophagy (your body recycling damaged cells as food) and the generation of new stem cells. A simple way to incorporate fasting into your daily routine is via intermittent fasting (12-16 hours without food). This would be my recommended method, as 8 of those hours can be spent sleeping. Plus, once the body enters into a state of ketosis (24-48 hours) it can suck pretty bad. Furthermore, starvation isn’t fun. Just putting yourself into a situation in which you are voluntarily struggling with hunger is a sign of mastering self-discipline. It should be noted, that while starvation is most certainly in your DNA, obesity is not. If you’re overweight, you’re not a master, you’re a slave. Eat to live, don’t live to eat.
- Misogi – a misogi is the concept of doing something so hard one day out of the year that the other 364 days seem easy. It can help overcome fear and redefine what’s possible. While anything can technically be a misogi, it should be something that you only have a 50/50 chance of accomplishing. There are only 2 rules for misogi: 1) it has to be really, really hard, 2) you can’t die. Even if you don’t do a misogi, you should always challenge yourself in some way. Always have goals. Eliminate the word “can’t” from your vocabulary. Nothing rewarding in life is going to come easy.
- Avoid escapism – stop numbing your way through life. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling, food or whatever else it is that helps you escape the monotony of life, stop! Force yourself to face the rigors of life head on. Grab life by the proverbial horns and make it your bitch. For many, this alone might be the hardest struggle of all; just living life.
The idea here is to be positive. To present a positive message that can resonate with those who don’t need to be reminded for the thousandth time how bad it is for White people. It’s easy to obsess and become cynical over things that are not in our control. The important thing is to focus on what you do have control over. And what do you have control over? Your actions and behaviors. Keep in mind, you can do anything you want to do. If you don’t like what you’re doing, do something else. If you don’t like your life, change it. Don’t like your neighbors, move. Adopt the mindset that there’s no such thing as problems (or excuses), there’s only solutions.
As White people, our elites have failed us. But so what? You can still wake up everyday and be the best person you can possibly be. That includes having self-respect, dignity, honor, gratitude, humility, impulse control, kindness and accountability. It’s easy to be a slave; anyone can do that. But only the noble can be a master.
A large part of the population, without realizing it, only claims its right to a bad life. But for them, nothing would matter; the problem is that they compromise the next generation.
Great article, thanks!

Immature and ignorant article. As if ” nobility ” was dependant on ” diet ” like a teenage girl doing his shopping at the Bio stand. The author is a petit bourgeois or even worse a prole, who fantasize about masters and aristocrats, when he knows nothing. Understands nothing.
It’s so stupid that I had to stop reading this tik tok idiocy.
A lot of us in the U S of A are slaves because we have to bow to government or face prison. Most of us enjoy what freedoms we have
No it isn’t.
There’s a third choice and the personality that best represents that choice is the sigma male, someone that is neither master nor slave but a sovereign in his own right. Ask me how I know after you look up the traits of a sigma male.
The article is word salad.
Truth is, very few persons are individual in any sense. Or creative. Or leaders. And you don’t want that. If everyone was, nothing would get done, either on a corporate, or higher cultural level.
The idea of ‘slavery’ has a negative connotation, mostly because of bad decisions made by white folk in bringing negroes away from their natural habitat. However stupid, in this instance it resulted from a ‘short term’ proposition– the need (really, the desire) for labor. We now understand it by ‘long term’ results. But this sort of thing is generally only ever understood from hindsight.
Classical thought (really, non-Western, in the Spenglerian schematic) understood the place of slavery within a natural order. As we read in Politics, and as we can easily see from contemplating our modern ‘democracies’, most are ‘natural’ slaves. And even those who think independently are rather passive, by necessity. What can one do? Other than talk about it. And wait for a natural leader.
The author’s advice is welcome. For fasting, one can start with the ‘intermittent’ thing. Stop eating at noon, until breakfast next AM. That gives you about 18 hours. Then, once a week, after the noon meal, don’t eat until next noon. There you have 24 hours. Since most of it is sleep, it’s easier to deal with. Obviously stay away from anything crunchy, sealed in a bag. Or frozen, in a plastic tray, that you have to nuke.
The antithesis of slave morality AND master morality is freedom.
You find it in Tolkien’s book, in the character which is not affected at all by The One Ring.
While I fully agree with the spirit of the article and also with the proposed solutions, and while I have also noticed that the author has wisely chosen not to make any reference to Friedrich Nietzsche, the dualism slave vs master morality is such a pervasive and important theme in Nietzschean thought, that some clarifications are due.
The masters – Nietzsche teaches us – are the strong and healthy, those that live a life of action without overthinking about it, brooding etc. Their morality is the good (them, the strong) vs the bad (the others, who cannot afford to live fully due to their physical/mental limitations). The good use their strength to prevail over the bad (the weak), and, as Nietzsche observes, that’s simply a law of Nature applicable also to humans, a deterministic outcome found all across the animal kingdom. Kind of like when you have a hammer, anything assumes the semblance of a nail. There is no freedom of choice: the masters cannot rationally decide between behave with arrogance or with benevolence, because they simply cannot conceive of the latter.
The slaves are the the rest of humanity. They resent the masters because they impose their will on them and in general on anything in their surroundings, to a degree the slaves cannot and this prompts envy. The morality embraced by the slaves is one of the good (this time the good are the meek, the pious, the humble) against the evil (the oppressing and rapacious masters, who monopolize resources because for them, might makes right).
Under these terms, it’s easy to see Christendom as a slave morality, and Judaism as a master morality.
Logically following Nietzsche’s thought, the oblivious and impulsive Black man would exemplify the archetype of the master, while the dutiful and self-aware Caucasian would serve as a prototype for the slave throughout the ages.
To the ones careful enough to notice, many of Nietzsche inspirations came to him from the acquaintance with Jewish intellectuals like Paul Ree.
The practical solutions the author of this piece proposes – the spirit of which is exemplified by the blockquotes I have reported above – would fit within the category of what Nietzsche called the ascetic ideals in the third essay of his ‘The Genealogy of Morals’.
Basically, anything calling for discipline, sacrifice, renounce, suffering, even if it’s for the sake of a greater good to obtain (God’s grace, but also a healthier life, or mastery of some skill for instance) is an ascetic ideal.
An ascetic ideal is part and parcel of slave morality, he quips, because it merely represents the frustration of the will to power of the slave, which is deflected inwardly (“to master and control himself“) only because it cannot be enforced on the outside world, as it is too weak, and as such it is closed off and deprived of a more natural outlet by the masters’ own more powerful will to power.
In essence, I would not frame a White nationalist POV in terms of Nietzsche, or any of his ideas such as the slave/master conundrum.
Horribly stupid article. “Take a cold shower” seriously. That will show the Jews.
This article appears to be written specifically for “slaves” like you, yet you completely failed to comprehend the premise.
Also remind yourself that there is nothing new under the sun.
Remember the Stoics.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/17212.Marcus_Aurelius
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own – not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
the article is literally slave advice
Hewitt E. Moore: “Are You a Master or a Slave?”
A deceptively simple answer could be given to this question. The master is the one who makes the rules, while the slave obeys them. (If this be granted, then everyone can decide for himself which he is.) But the simplicity of this answer is deceptive because it suggests that it’s possible that the master may make the rules up out of thin air, and change them on a whim. Whether that’s really true or not is the subject of Socrates’ discussion with Thrasymachus in Plato’s Republic. Thrasymachus argues that what’s right is whatever’s in the interest of the stronger. But does the stronger necessarily know what is in his best interest? Perhaps not. Without investigating, without applying his reason, Socrates answers that he can’t know. Thus, it’s shown that even the strongest are subject to the dictates of reason.
The Stoic school, which in practice offered a kind of proto-Christian morality, grew out of this aspect of Platonism. The quote from Marcus Aurelius given above in #11 expresses it rather well. The Stoics derived their morality from their vision of the universe as an orderly place, a manifestation of universal Reason. In that universe, Reason itself is necessarily the only master. Everyone else is only a slave, either to their own passions, their ignorance, or (for the philosopher) to Reason. Morality exists independently of man, and no Nietzschean Superman can possibly arise to cancel it out. The rules are fixed, and everyone must obey.
Charles Darwin gave humanity a different vision — one of life as struggle, a war of all against all. To the modern mind, this seems more intuitively true, and it can be empirically supported. At first glance it might seem a Superman could arise in such a universe, but still, the question comes, does he make his own rules, or is he subject to external constraints? Certainly, he is subject to the laws of physics and chemistry. In Darwinian terms, the issue then is whether our morality is a product of our evolution as a species, which has taken place according to those laws. If it is, then it’s not something that can be easily changed on some Superman’s whim. It suggests that the current moral system, one based on some notion of “human rights”, is not arbitrary, no accident of history, but integral to the operation of modern society. If that’s true, a Superman still might be able to arise and overthrow it, but only at the cost of that society’s utter destruction.
True. They bow to their government who in turn bow to their Jew overlords. And we enjoy the freedoms the ADL allows us.
I read Ressentiment by Max Scheler for an elective Philosophy course in second year U. Most people have never heard of him.
