An excellent and relevant point. Who among contemporary
Western "nationalist" or (even more dreary) "white nationalist"
organizations has the courage to face this truth? In the traditional
teaching, hereditary nobility or pre-eminence (even conceived in
macro-racial terms like the "white Aryan race") is only maintained by
ADDING TO the virtues of one's ancestors. Nobility of blood should be
a STIMULUS for the practice of virtue (in the Aristotelian sense) and
a curb for restraining low-mindedness. Nobility ceases when virtue is
discontinued. Traces of splendor from the past can be only so
effective in such cases. This is the tragic situation of modern Dark
Age Europe and America.
