Warrior Culture

The Mothers of the Warrior Nation

Sparta was the epitomy of Warrior culture. A warrior race.

In a culture where a mother hears of one of their sons dying in battle and other escaping with their life. She claims the former as her child and not the latter. Running from battle is a shameful act and embarrassing for the mothers of Sparta. They would rather their children be killed.

One mother is told all 5 of her sons died in battle, and her response is “I did not ask of my sons. I asked whether Sparta was victorious” When told the battle was won. Her response is “Then I am happy”

Another mother, when sending her son off to war, says to him “Come back with this or on it” as she hands him his shield. Coming without it would be an indication of fleeing from battle. Again the mother would rather her son die than live whilst cowardly run away from battle.

The mothers, wives, and daughter were the backbone of this warrior nation. Similarly, in animals, the lionness is the one that hunts. their motherly instincts are to defend the wolf pack. The warrior ethos is not a manifestation of male aggression or masculine will to dominate. It rest on the will and resolve of the mothers of the nation.

King Agis

King Agis of Sparta was shown a catapult that could shoot 200 yards. Upon seeing it., “Valor is no more.” he said as he wept. It seemed to him honor had been lost in fighting. No longer is it necessary to get up close and personal. No longer is the danger of losing your life equal to that of taking your enemies’s. No longer was fighting a battle of wills.

King Agis would probably weep over and over at the inventions of gun powder, bombs, landmines, mustard gas, lasers, missiles, nukes, drones.

In the West

The Warrior Ethos emphasizes a commitment to serve and protect. And being willing to sacrifice for something other than themselves. It embodies values like courage, honor, loyalty, integrity and selflessness.

In the west, we live in an age of self-preservation, a strong natural instinct living beings are born with but a contrast to the warrior ethos. In the west, we live for ourselves. Nothing else matters outside of us. The world starts and ends with ourselves. We dont look to benefit society, we look to see how it can benefit us. We want to chase endless pleasure, without any responsiblity, commitment or repercussions. There is no honor, and courage. Everyone is shameless.

There is no fighting. Having a backbone is looked down upon. Society will beat it out of you if you do. You are only allowed to have an opinion if it aligns with the mainstream narrative.

You must tolerate everything. Passivity is the default. Standing up for what you believe in is wrong. In other words, having courage is discouraged. Turning the other cheek is noble.

I would argue…

Turning the other cheek is noble, IF (big if) you have the capacity to fight and be violent. Only then is it honorable.

If you are someone who doesnt have the capacity to fight.

Most people today can not fight and they tell themselves they don’t like to so they seem more virtuous.

Speaking from personal experience, I have probably been close to getting into about 6 streetfights in the past 2 years. 3 times on the road. And Everytime THEY have threatened to beat me up. I’ve invited them to do so whilst trying to hide the smile on my face. And they all make an excuse to get out of it. They talk tough until I call their bluff. They’ll do everything up until the point where the situation might get physical and then they cower away.

If you are raised to tell the teacher anytime you have an issue with a classmate, or file an hr complaint against a coworker you dont like. Or the closest you’ve ever been to physically fighting is exchanging passive aggressive text messages. And you “turn the other cheek.” You are not more mature, or more noble or more honorable. You are a pussy, and you have been your whole life.

You can tell yourself you did the noble thing. But its just a cope for being a bitch.

I cant stand these niggas.

Sincerely,

T-mane tha mane

Crown Prince of the Fire Nation
