Anti-Facism and anti-T totalitarianism inspired a general theory of society. That theory has many forms, some explicit, others tacit, but it is

characterized by a fundamental judgment. Whatever is strong, strong loves and

strong truths, leads to oppression,

while liberty and prosperity require the reign of weak loves and weak truths.

In the shadow of Auschwitz, this general theory has encouraged the development of a variety of

anti-metophysical philosophies and critical therapies. They are familiar to us today.

When someone prefaces remarks, speaking from a white male first world

perspective, he is warding off politically correct attacks with a gesture of piety to

the weak gods. The same pattern of weakening characterizes the dictatorship of relativism, reduction to

sociobiology and economic analysis, and globalist ideologies.

As Richard Weaver wrote in the first sentence of the first chapter of his post-war

Cre du Kerr, ideas have consequences, every man participating in a culture has three levels

of conscious reflection. His specific ideas of things, his

general beliefs or convictions, and his metaphysical dream of the world. I contend that the

post-war era saw a shift in our metaphysical dreams to openness and a lightness

of being in response to the decades of catastrophe in the first half of the 20th century.
