Repost from Theodoric S. Taylor Art
Here's a very simple process video showing the three stages.
Pencil drawing to get the forms more or less there, lines with water resistant ink, and then diluted ink washes for value. Both the lines and washes were drawn with a fine brush.
Agree and amplify.
Remigration is possible and desirable for all!
This happens less and less but on occasion people still form their entire online persona around a negative. Being opposed to something. They get deeper and deeper into their opposition to this 'thing' whatever it may be and it consumes them.
They fail to realize that their appearance to others just becomes "Oh it's that guy who hates X" and wonder why they get slowly more and more ignored and made fun of.
It's a form of social autism - thankfully it is kind of rare these days but I still stumble across it time to time.

Ghost Birds
As transparent as ice of old
Blue spectres are gliding forth;
One breaks away from the flow
And another follows that soul —
The wind breaks in and shouts:
"Why track this ghost of an owl?
You already died in that pursuit,
Years ago, should I remind you?"
The ghost bird glances away
With his glassy eyes of prey:
"If I am dead, why bother me?
Why care if I'm caged or free?"
The wind storms and stirs
The pale feathers of the bird!
He cared not for the nature's wrath:
The two ghosts faded off the earth.
This is a critically important thread to read:

It goes into depth explaining how narrative control is being exercised and monetized by companies.
"According to their website, Pendulum states that narratives contain threats and opportunities and works to control them. Pendulum says their solution is to collect, process, and store multi-medium content, even if it is deleted, then uses what they call their Narrative Engine to filter said content based on the narrative you want to amplify and track.
Pendulum says it uses artificial intelligence to help intelligence teams increase their influence and monitor narratives that may be threatening to not only brands and executives, but also specifically lists ESG as a topic to monitor. Here is an example of their tracking software with using the Writer's Strike to enforce the narrative of wage exploitation.
Some of the narratives Pendulum monitors include COVID vaccine hesitancy, COVID vaccine misinformation, election fraud, domestic extremism, and QAnon."

"Modern man is a terrible decadent. He can no longer wage war, but there are many other things he can no longer do. However, with his passion, his ignorant arrogance, he condemns what he can no longer do, what he can no longer bear. It's like art. He became a scientist because he could no longer be an artist."
— Pierre Drieu la Rochelle

One of the worst books I have had the displeasure of reading a single chapter of.
Excerpt:
-----------------------------------
This is where we see the idiocy of what Oxford churns out - the Odyssey is vehicle for masturbatory sympathy for refugees. Let’s take a look at the kind of analysis that Jubber is capable of:
"To be a refugee is to be unwanted, an exile, suspected by the authorities and the locals, and worst of all by those around you; like Odysseus, returning to Ithaca in disguise, 'a brazen, shameless beggar’ in the words of the suitor Antinous. Another pedlar accosts him and, egged on by the suitors, they end up wrestling for the prize of a sizzling hot goat sausage."
This beggars belief. Odysseus is the one RETURNING HOME. The refugee is invading. The refuge is the newcomer, the suitor. The refugees the suitors, they are in our homes unwanted they are proposing to our women, unwanted. The fact Jubber attempts to flip the script on this is beyond shocking, this is the realm of lunacy and ideology.

Repost from Imperium Press
The MSM would like to pain Imperium Press as extreme. We are anything but.
The worldview found in our books is simply that held by the greatest thinkers of all time until very recently. It is the historical default position and we are recovering it from the core of the West's intellectual tradition. We stand for what has until the late 20th century been called "sanity". It is the null hypothesis of human existence and liberalism must justify itself to that, not the other way around.
What you will find in our books is simply the background assumptions of all humans throughout history. All the greatest geniuses who have ever lived agree with us and disagree with the media, the academic world, and big tech in the current year. If these people want to oppose themselves to that, let them.
We are the default position.

Tall Poppy Syndrome is prevalent in some Anglosphere cultures more than others. It's a terrible trait that has been fostered by resentful leftist forces in our cultures.
We support others by becoming successful ourselves. Men in our spaces have to want to become wealthy and successful and they can't be shunned for that - that is the reason Andrew Tate is more popular than us. For all his myriad flaws he preaches a positive vision to young men and is unabashed about his own success and desires. What do we preach? Come to the dissident right where we complain and moan non-stop like crabs in buckets, where the most blackpilling news and takes are the most engaged and upvoted?
It's okay to succeed, to want to succeed and being proud of your success is worthwhile.

Jokes on these scammers though: people don’t read books anymore.
There is one thing you can do right this minute that will improve your health. You can do it whilst reading this post.
Close. Your. Mouth.
Nasal breathing is hugely important for good health.
If you are a mouth breather - work to change this right now. I guarantee it will lead to better overall health.

"Men knew that the Gods whom they served could not give them freedom from danger and calamity, and they did not demand that they should. We find in the myths no sense of bitterness at the harshness and unfairness of life, but rather a spirit of heroic resignation: humanity is born to trouble, but courage, adventure, and the wonders of life are matters for thankfulness, to be enjoyed while life is still granted to us. The great gifts of the Gods were readiness to face the world as it was, the luck that sustains men in tight places, and the opportunity to win that glory which alone can survive death."
— Gods and Myths of Northern Europe by H.R. Ellis Davidson
