Imperial-Nihilism

Defining One of the Largest Ideologies Within Oren

By: Thucydides Melphestaus

INTRODUCTION

Through this proposal I hope to introduce a groundwork set of thought for an ideology which has widely grown within that of Oren, seemingly unnoticeably at that too. 

 

Along with defining the ideology itself I shall be speaking upon how this form of ideology is incapable of existing on it’s own without that of other ideologies within the current system of government the Holy Orenian Empire has as of now.
 

EXPLANATION

Imperial-Nihilism is a term which I invented to combine the certain beliefs of Nihilism and the number of beliefs regarding the Holy Orenian Empire specifically.

 

The pieces of Nihilism which are being taken from base Nihilism is primarily the belief within the philosophy that believes that life as a whole is meaningless, and human values are baseless. Then adapting these beliefs to focus more upon the political nature of Oren, to the belief that nothing which happens within the House of Commons, House of Lords, or any ministry truly matters at all, that it shall not affect the lives of the citizens of the nation in any true crucial way.

 

This form of Nihilism I like to phrase as ‘Political Nihilism’ considering these nihilist beliefs do not always transfer over to personal beliefs, and etc. It however, should still be considered a political ideology rather than a philosophy like Nihilism is originally defined as due to this fact.

 

However due to the nature of the Holy Orenian Empire itself the Orenese version Political Nihilism can be regarded as a sub-ideology of Political Nihilism, being phrased as ‘Imperial-Nihilism’.

 

Imperial-Nihilism still holds its roots within that of Political Nihilism, in the fact that the ideology still holds the beliefs that nothing which happened in politics really matters whatsoever, but is evolved, or more so excludes matters of the state as a whole.

 

Imperial-Nihilism adds to Political Nihilism the sense of duty and protection of one’s state, changing Political Nihilism’ belief upon nothing matters to exclude the nation as a whole. Resulting in Imperial-Nihilism valuing and caring about the nation as a whole, focused upon ensuring the Holy Orenian Empire continues to live on under that of an Emperor/ress with the basic structure of government the nation currently has.

 

In truth the ideology of Imperial-Nihilism is a simple belief, or complex to have and understand. Yet to truly explain such a form of political ideology is one which is almost impossible to fully explain due to the seemingly unmixable mix of beliefs which somehow is that of Imperial-Nihilism.

SYMBIOTIC

 

Imperial-Nihilism however, is almost impossible to be self-reliant within a nation to the nature of the beliefs itself. For the holes within the political ideology itself are the Nihilist piece, or segment of itself. This is due to the fact that the Imperial Nihilist does not care to interact with politics, yet still cares enough to want to see the Holy Orenian Empire remain similar to how it has been.

 

As such, Imperial-Nihilism serves as a political ideology which is capable of surviving symbiotically with other political ideologies, if these other political ideologies hope to see that the Holy Orenian Empire keeps with the current structures of government it has.

 

Due to this symbiotic relationship however it makes Imperial-Nihilism incapable of acting as the center belief of a political party, a representative, or a government official, unless the Holy Orenian Empire’s structure of government changes drastically. Making the political ideology no threat to any other ideology which hopes to generally keep the Holy Orenian Empire how it currently is when it comes to the matter of government structure.

 

Yet, at the same time Imperial-Nihilism serves as also its own poison due to it’s traits of not acting with politics in any form, allowing opponents of Imperial-Nihilism to rid a nation or set population of these beliefs without any counterattacks, or even facing any defenses from Imperial-Nihilism.

CONCLUSION

Imperial-Nihilism is a political ideology which is at its base Nihilism which has evolved to only include politics in it’s Nihilist beliefs, yet then mutated to exclude general structure of government from it’s Nihilist beliefs, making the political ideology a mess of beliefs combined together which somehow is capable of working together to make what we know as Imperial-Nihilism.

[Narthok 10416]

Paul would shake his head upon hearing of this foolish notion of 'imperial nihilism'. Turning to his gathered holy brethren he would launch into one of his classic rants. "This treatise says a whole lot of nothing. Any subhuman who speaks to me of 'Nihilism' will be force fed a diet of hammers to the skull and the Lord's blessed scripture. I would contend that Nihilists are actually a myth. If they truly believed that life had no meaning then they would have already killed themselves. Seeing as any true believers of Nihilism would be dead I think it is fair to conclude that anyone preaching nihilism is not a true nihilist but merely a mentally ill deviant who needs the holy word of GOD!"  With a snarl of outrage he would stride off intent on finding these 'imperial nihilists' and helping them properly adhere to their belief system.

Minuvas would talk idly to his dog, scratching his dogs ear as he sat by the house fire

"Ah, Arkamedes...Thucydides was always a sharp one, capital work in his political writing. "

 

The dog whines a bit "Yes, old boy - I too wonder how does one connect with a brother who has such nihilist passions. He is so much like Maelgar at times it can be a bit scary" 

 

He takes a sip from a cup of tea, "He is our brother though, yes? As for these individuals who have only hot air to spew from their big mouth...." A burst of laughter from the Elf, and he would continue to talk with the dog late into the night.

Holy Sir Hieran de Melphestaus reads over his brothers work with a raised eyebrow.

"Quite a leap to be sure...."

Though he didn't show any emotions of agreement - Hieran never disagreed with the statement 

"The young lad has a lot to learn. Though I must commend him on his writing ability"

The Dark Elf then went to place the papers in his drawer, along with around 50 neatly organised pieces. Before returning to his piano on which he sat to play, and to contemplate.

Charles Albert perked brow at the study, folding the paper and launching it from his balcony towards the bustling city of Providence. "Nothing particular was said in this analysis, though the dangerous term 'Nihilism' is threat to our most holy Church. On another note 'Imperial-Nihilism' is made up term, which means exactly nothing. I'm not sure if this elf has any knowledge of psychology or politics, not to mention law." The man stepped from the balcony towards his well lit room, eyeing the portrait of his father.
