A few notes on aesthetics

Everyone has heard the saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and philosophically, I believe this is true. What is ugly to one person may be beautiful to another and although certain aesthetics have far more popular appeal than others, it makes little sense to judge the inherent quality of something by its popularity. Furthermore, trends in fashion dictate that what is popular in one era will be unpopular in another. Democratic aesthetics will always tend toward the lowest common denominator because most people are unable to appreciate very much subtlety or nuance. Aesthetic beauty among human beings may be philosophically subjective but there are strong and fairly consistent biological triggers of aesthetic beauty. Indicators of youth, fertility and femininity in women are more attractive to the overwhelming majority of heterosexual men than their opposites.

There are two major types of aesthetics; democratic and elitist. Democratic aesthetics are accessible to pretty much anyone, while elitist aesthetics take a certain degree of intelligence and education to appreciate. Elitist aesthetics often require a high degree of skill and are accessible to a relatively small number of people. Traditionally, the purpose of art was to depict beauty and the divine, to create images and performances that raised us up, rather than pulling us down. Part of this task was to affirm truth rather than falsehood or nihilism. The aesthetics of a nation reflect its biological capital and crucially, its cultural values. Art, architecture, dance, music and beauty standards reflect the soul of a nation. If these aesthetics are democratic, ugly and degenerate, it is a near-certainty that the nation will be democratic, ugly and degenerate.

Art and aesthetics are inherently elitist in a healthy society. We wish to see the best that humans can achieve, rather than something that we could achieve ourselves without practice. What is the point of aesthetics if they are not the product of long-term, meticulous cultivation? The point of postmodern “art” is to destroy the standards of beauty in society, to promote ugliness over beauty and falsehood over truth as leftism promotes inferiority over superiority in all areas. The purpose and effect of democratic art is fundamentally destructive, it serves no positive function in a society that aspires to be healthy. To healthy people in a healthy society, aesthetic beauty and exceptional skill is pleasing to us, almost a good in itself. Beauty, especially feminine beauty, motives men to achieve great things. Is is hardly surprising then that the left is in revolt against traditional standards of beauty and instead promotes “fat acceptance”, drug use, degenerate postmodern “art”, soulless modernist architecture, music and dance from the African ghetto and race-destroying miscegenation, particularly between European women and African men. Egalitarianism or leftism is anti-European, so it is only logical that it seeks to tear down beauty and promote degeneracy. The left has always been disproportionately composed of native freaks and parasitic, tribal aliens in revolt against the host society. They wish to tear down the good and elevate the destructive to destroy what they cannot achieve themselves and weaken the foundations of the nation. It is hard to imagine how our European nations can be healthy again until we have rooted out aesthetic degeneracy and its promoters.
