And it was extremely into social Darwinism. It was individualistic to the point of being anarchistic. It had all of the requisite 1890s racism and sexism attendant to it as well.

But the point of it was, why would you love your enemies? This whole doctrine of love is BS. We're animals. And if you have an enemy, you should go out and beat him up because he's your enemy. You don't need to love him. You need to love yourself.

In this arid wilderness of steel and stone, I raise up my voice that you may hear to the east and to the west I beckon, to the north and to the south I show a sign, proclaiming death to the weakling, wealth to the strong.

Mankind is a weary, a weary of its sham profits, its demagogues and its statesmen. It cryeth out for kings and heroes. It demands an ability, an ability that cannot be hired with money like slaves or beasts of burden. The world awaits the coming of mighty men of valor, great destroyers, destroyers of all that is vile, angels of death. We are sick unto nausea of the good Lord Jesus. Terror is stricken under that executive of priest mob and pro-console. We are tired to death of equality. Gods are at a discount. Devils are in demand.

A man's family is his property. It is part of himself. Therefore, his natural business is to defend it as he would his own life. Women and children belong to man who must hunt for them as well as for himself. He is their lord and master in theory and in fact.

From Sandy Hook to London Tower, from Jaffa to Japan. They can take who have the power. They may keep who can. This is the law of heaven and hell, stupendous and divine. The highest holiest law of all that governs mine and thine.
