During the 1990s, which was when we got the first inkling that the postwar liberal democratic order was going out the way of the Soviets, just more slowly, black metal bands made a name for themselves with an orgy of violence, with a dozen dead and almost a hundred churches burned across Europe.
While those statistics would qualify as an average weekend in a major American city, in relatively homogeneous and orderly Europe this scared people into near-comatose reaction, which was the whole point. Black metal existed to say that equality made bad and good equal, so what was considered good, like equality, had to be considered bad, and what was considered bad must be good, so we might as well all throw in with Satan, Nietzsche, and Darwin because those are the things that equality fears.
After almost thirty years of relative peace, the black metal terror returns yet again with Holden Matthews of Vodka Vultures, who torched three churches in America:
Holden Matthews, 22, admitted to starting the fires to raise his profile as a “black metal” musician, prosecutors said.
He burned three Baptist churches in the Opelousas area over 10 days beginning in late March 2019.
In the 1990s, at least 50 Christian churches in Norway were attacked by arsonists in the name of black metal, a subgenre of heavy metal music. Varg Vikernes was among the most infamous black metal musicians to be convicted of church arson in this period.
Although this was prosecuted as a hate crime, no evidence of racial awareness seems present, although it is odd that all three were African-American churches. Unlike in Europe, no crimes against architecture appear to be present. Rising above other USBM, Matthews managed to burn, not spray paint, churches, and burn three, not a mere one.
Obviously, some kind of editorializing goes here → •. In my view, picking on African-Americans is dumb because they are as much victims of diversity, market socialism, and equality as we are; if you want to do something effective, go full McVeigh, Breivik, and Kaczynski and attack the people profiting from our decline (Leftists).
In addition, it seems to me that Christianity no longer has any relevance here. In the 1980s, the Christians in America were “conservative,” which means classical liberals who like big government so long as it protects industry, but the Christians in Europe were all leaning toward a neo-Soviet outlook.
At this point, we face a real problem because there are no official churches to the cult of equality, but if there were, burning them would be a mitzvah of grand proportions. To continue the ideals of black metal, you have to fight against the unnatural, which is the human belief in equality, a classless society, and socialism.
If some black metallers decided to burn down their local government buildings, welfare offices, civil rights commissions, public schools, and Ikeas, that would go a lot farther for a 2020s-era anti-herd message than torching some Black churches.
In the meantime, no one seems to have heard or possess recordings by the decidedly un-black metal named band Vodka Vultures, which tells future arsonists that they have to record some really great albums first (like Burzum, Emperor, et al.) and then go on a crime spree, so that while they are in jail we have something to listen to.

Burn down a civil rights commission instead of a church?
Ok boomer
Burning down symbols is just another useless surrogate activity. You should burn people instead.
Or actually destroy institutions…
I remember reading about Dylann Roof for the first time and thinking, “You shot nine black people? In church? Praying for you?”
It took the wind out of me.
The Other groups need to Go Back Home, no doubt. I am the strongest voice against ethnic, religious, cultural, and racial diversity that I know. However, they are not the enemy.
The enemy is equality, and we have to start, Breivik-style, by making it dangerous to be a Leftist again.
When Leftists are hunted down, anally raped, and drowned in swamps, the weak will retreat and we can enslave them as serfs yet again.
The white nationalists hate it when I say this, but most people are biologically and genetically serfs and must be forced to serve.
That is, if we do not outright deport these inferior white people to Africa to be BBC rape targets.
That might be a good starting point. How would one filter out all the opportunistic trend hoppers that will repeat all the current and popular party lines and slogans.
Seems most people deservedly serve already. And some deservedly rule them in one way or another. But we’re all materially better off, so I suppose that’s, uh, annoying.
Yes, likely.
No, because those who serve select those who rule, which means they pick flatterers instead of leaders, with a few rare moments of insight (Trump 2020!!1!).
I think the big debate coming is about existential happiness and ecocide. We are not happy, even though we are prosperous, and our prosperity is driven by constant growth which is in turn driven by our monetary policy. However, if it does not make us happy… maybe we need to dial it down a bit, go back to the gold standard and supply-side economics, and drop all of the entitlements and civil rights problems?
Basically: remove Leftism, problem solved.
No one wants to see that because we know that it will mean removing the Leftist True Believers. Boats to Venezuela, scourging at the pillar, or gas chambers?
I favor sending them to Venezuela. No one else gets it, but it is simultaneously the fairest and most brutally rectum-splittingly sadistic solution.
Happiness is a utopian fantasy that only exists in the human mental bubble.
Ecosystems are wholly self regulating and will regulate humanoids out of existence if needed, albeit slowly, too slowly.
Exiling leftist hordes wont solve the problem, it just prolongs their inevitable retaliation.
I think that if Leftists were sent away, to set up their own nations, they would have everything that they could want. Of course, they would attack at some point, but that is true of many groups. One must expect constant warfare.
I think happiness does exist, just not in the way that most people think. It consists of bonding with the world, achieving sanity and self-actualization, and having something upon which to expend oneself which is challenging but interesting.
Ecosystems face a new challenge in humanity, the tool-making symbol-using animal. Then again, an ecosystem exists among humans. Cannibals are at the top of course.
Prolonging the inevitable is not a solution, only permanence is real. This also applies to ecosystems and whatever ails it.
So democracy demands some window dressing for a while, so the grownups can then do their thing. In practice that doesn’t seem much unlike former regimes with the difference that leaders can’t execute people left and right, metal though that sounds.
Or, we’re well on the way to finally make contemporary consumerism fulfill our higher needs, we just need to push through, and throwing it all away via extremism sets us back in history.
Stop posting about it and do something.
Phound the Phed!
Wait, the Boomers were defined by two things:
1. The “Me Generation”
2. Civil Rights
You would prefer that we try to do things that would upset the 1800s generations?
No one gives a damn about Christianity anymore except a few traditionalists in the basement, and all the people going to New Age cum Self-Help cum Toastmasters churches like the Osteen herd.
Wut? Since when is equality the same as reversal?
You either have bad and good, or a new category named “equal” where everything is acceptable, which allows the bad/weak to prosper. Like most sane people, black metallers tend to favor raising up the strong and sodomizing, murdering, and cannibalizing the weak.
Yikes, for a second there I actually thought you were talking about “unblack metal” – you know, where the bands presumably sneak around at night rebuilding all the churches!
Apparently, the trend is still going strong. After they catch you raping your first pig, they take you to church and tell you that you have to stop taking the marijuanas and listening to Satan-music, and you have have these nice searing hymns of chaos about how Jesus will save your sad ass instead. Modern Christianity does nothing except produce people who want to see it burn, whether by loving it and thus mainstreaming it, turning it into Communism but with Communion, or hating it and burning down its churches, who end up being thankful for the publicity boost since otherwise, the church is wholly irrelevant.
cant you see youre not making christianity any better, youre just making rock and roll worse
Some of the churches around here have full-on rock bands playing throughout the service. It’s like they took the moronic, and made it imbecilic, and now the only people who show up are total tards.
Yep
thats what i said to my boys faggot youth pastor
Nah we’re actually just sneaking around casting demons out of all the fake churches…..
ok but seriously if you think about it Christian black metal (or pagan, which is essentially unfinished Christianity) is the only kind that can last. Anti cosmic stuff is inherently self-destructive, NSBM will eventually fall apart like all merely human ideologies, and everything else is lame.
And it makes sense–God is ultimate reality, literally Reality Himself, so any encounter with Him is gonna be SCARY. ‘Course no music can ever do justice to that, but we can point to it, and why shouldn’t black metal? What exactly about the God of the Universe is antithetical to black metal? Maybe there’s a misunderstanding about what we mean when we say “God is Love”–Love is not a mushy-gushy feeling; it’s an All-Consuming FIRE.
this revisionism – pretending that black metal musicians were upholding some noble ideals and forcing parallels to the current sociopolitical climate of clownfoolery of false dichotomies – is gay and retarded. gaytarded if you will. the black circle and those that preceded them were loser nerds who were even less secure and more pointlessly rebellious than the punks a decade earlier. living in a white utopia and blowing mom and dad’s money on failed business ventures and getting emo as fuck about it. those twinks posed so hard but they would be all nameless rapebait in any american city bigger than cincinnati. that’s the only parallel between revisionists and these wannabe domestic terrorists.
dont call it revisionism dude its an opinion
Black metal was pretty clearly pro Satan and against theories of the weak in every incarnation. It was only when Blood came out with the catchphrase “sodomize the weak” however in 1993 that the Remnant in Western Civilization had a simple, all-encompassing philosophy.
Burning down a synagogue would be way more METAL by today’s standard. Everyone knows that rebelling against and rejecting Zionism and (((Crony Capitalism))) is the real way to stab at Modernity.
