Trad is on the rise and everybody’s becoming either catholic or statist.

This is the cope of our age, it’s the way that we objectify ourselves in order to shield our psyche from the ailments of the contemporary condition.

In the vein of LARPing, we are made object, fictional caricatures of ourselves. Despondent - we time travel to a period when history has not ended and the possibility of phallic actualization is readily at hand, whether through blood or glory or the exaltation of god.

The transmutation of the structures of objective violence that marked the end of the society of discipline, means we cannot make use of these structures as a way to sublimate the emotional distress caused of a violence that is anyway present - meaning there’s nobody left to blame but us, if our predicament has turned to shit - meaning I attribute mental illness, to the unavailability of meaningfully sublimating sex drive.
<...>
However, now that there is a lack of the oppressive edifice that we have come to recognize as the Father, or for our intents and purposes, the ethno-state; we are governed by the archetype of the permissive mother, who is latently punitive, and whose punishment is of the symbolic order.
<...>
This is why every gen Z-er is embracing tradness, because it’s a more lucrative model of subjective economy that allows them to manufacture a reality of their own, through a maneuvering of language of expression.

Trad aspires to bring back a violence which can be seen and dealt with accordingly, it’s a recession towards traditional values - because in itself it’s a nostalgia of futures that didn’t and will not happen.

In itself, tradness is a way to introduce a sacred element into contemporary life.

Sacredness is always of sacrificial utility, it is a sacrifice that generates value beyond the economic by rendering an object inaccessible, therefore sublime.

Tradness aspires to make contact with sublimity in an age where even the sacred has been book-kept.
