Political Perennialism is an ongoing project. Its aim is to develop a comprehensive and systematic political theory grounded on and consistent with the Perennialist School of Philosophy, as represented by René Guénon and Frithjof Schuon. In summary, the objectives of this project are fourfold. Firstly, to explain why modern political arrangements are illegitimate, indefensible and unsalvageable. Secondly, to present and defend the essential and universal features of Traditional political forms. Thirdly, to convince you, my reader, that a restoration of these Traditional political forms is beyond the realm of possibility at the current historical juncture. Fourthly, and practically, to urge you to seek your salvation, fulfil your responsibilities towards whomever you have them, and to insulate yourselves from the oncoming chaos.

I only comment on contingent politics to make metapolitical points, and I certainly don’t hold Starmer in any special regard. But he was just fine, a competent administrator and one can’t expect much more than that in this age. What does his being ejected from office after only two years despite no major failure or scandal teach us? That the masses want to be entertained and enthralled by their avatars. Grey competence doesn’t cut it – they need a (pseudo)deity in charge to be enthralled by.

Since Trump normalized the use of foul language in his public statements, I have noticed an increase in the unapologetic use of profanity in news outlets like DW and France 24. Fish rots from the head down, and the POTUS is head of much more than the US.

Could there be a truer reign of quantity than the reign of an ‘AI’ Caesar? ‘AI’ being a quantitative facsimile or parody of those qualities proper to the human.

Dr. Ahmad’s student in the video linked below (if anyone would enlighten me as to his name I’d be grateful) makes an excellent observation at the end of this video. The interminable conflictual tribalism of what is called ‘identity politics’ (by no means a monopoly of minorities in the West) is not a perennial feature of humanity, but a reflection of the quantification of reality:

Confucius would weep were he to witness the confusion of names in political discourse. This is largely due to devil shift and the abuse of language, but it is also due deception. Fascists in particular are guilty of confusing the discourse by lying about being fascists.
