The Concept of Exit

The concept of Exit in neo-reaction does not seem to be thoroughly mined yet. Let me try my hand. As someone that often enjoys "splitting the distance" between the New Right and Neo-Reaction, the concept of secession is not a fresh one to me. Actually, it is one that someone, trained by B.U.G.S., argues against most times. "The culture is too anti-white for secession."

But the dream continues, and secession pops up again and again, while "homelands" are the end goal for White Nationalists, Nationalists, and White Separatists. Even the idea of a White Republic has been floated multiple times - perish the thought. Yet the concept of Exit is, in itself, a multi-faceted idea, and it takes more forms than that of merely secession.

Exit in any relationship can be an intruiging idea. And, it is a fairly well known negiotiating strategy that "the person most willing to walk away is the one with the most power." Leaving it all behind is a thought that comes instinctively to the side in the relationship which is the least satisfied. And, for non-establishment political theorists, the sense of dissatisfaction is tremendous. It is one of the main motivations to work toward a new ideal, whatever that may be. In a system defined by its inexorable multi-century drift toward one side, the words "Enough is enough" come effortlessly to a strategic politician's lips.

Yet, Exit can be more than secession and can be more than a realisation that working outside the established political system is the proper course of action. Exit can also be a willingness to experiment with un-official currencies, and a thedish expectation that one's children will not attend the "free" government schools. Exit can be a refusal to buy into pop fashions or a unwavering preference to tune into alternative news sources instead of going to the major outlets. Exit could, and probably should, be an association with a traditionalist religous practice instead of finding the closest and least-demanding "Church".

With many different dimensions to Exit from, Neoreactionists and cohorts in the Dark Enlightenment could certainly pick niches of their own, doing their best to take away from the cultural, spiritual, economic and informational hegemony of the establishment Cathedral. Many Christians will see the scriptural basis for keeping the world at bay:

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

So while secession will likely continue to be a perennial favorite as far as method for Exit, it need not be the only, or even most important one. Man does not live only in his body, or in his geographical location; he also lives in spirit and mind. What Exit should be for Neoreaction is a transcendent way of living and learning with the purpose of not only existing against the old order, but toward the new and coming Reaction.
