Existentialist Philosophy as Basis for AntiEverythingism

Look around at this hubristic structure erected by humanity in its self-deification outside God, seeking to reach the heavens not through faith but through force, not through humility and mortal understanding but through pride and denial. The builders do not merely dream of a tower; they seek not simply to attain power, but to pay homage to their own ambition and perceived right to immortality. It is the subjective excuse outside of universals presented as false universal which enables this, which is a rather excellent definition for existential thought generally.

The myth is a parable custom fit for our time, a warning against the sort of ideologies that now seek to dismantle identity, culture, and tradition in the name of some infinitely unattainable progress outside of what our ancestors knew, understood, and learned. These movements are cloaked in language centred around progress and equality while providing quite the opposite. These are the harbingers of the first stage for the ushering in of the technocratic and materialistic transhumanist agenda, one that seeks to erase the very distinctions that make us human, to replace the organic with the artificial, and to forge a new decultured counter-utopia through the destruction of all that is natural.

The Babel Tower is not merely a failure; it is an act of rebellion against divine order. The builders sought to impose their own will upon creation and subject the objective, to erase the boundaries perceived unfair between man and the powers naturally outside of man’s reach. In doing so, they became tyranny through resultant chaos, driven by desires for control that blind them to purpose in mortal existence. Of course then, individualistic and subjective existentialism is the most obviously compatible philosophy for the purposes of this mental slavery. Individuals are no longer essential and irreplaceable pieces within their community and society, but commodities. There is nothing of humaneness, humanism, nor humanity in such degradation; humanism most often being tied to existentialism.

Today’s “anti-nationalist” and Marxist movements are manifestations of this same rebellion: a rejection of the natural divisions that define human identity. These movements attempt to create a homogenised world where all distinctions are erased in the name of empire called “equality,” offering nothing but slavery in fact. Yet, just as the builders of Babel sought to build their tower by destroying the diversity of language and culture, so too do these modern ideologies seek to destroy the very expressions of human diversity which make life aligned with greatest good. Our cultural distinctiveness is history in progress, a product of our ancestors and ancestry as well as biology. So these are projects to rewrite our history and future at once, to undermine the narrative and stories of our families as well as the very facts of their existence. Existentialism the death of common meaning and purpose. If it will become true that the only differences that matter are those which are individual and invisible, then no order can be maintained and no commonality retained in any progressive sense.
