Oh geeze. So the more I’m reading about The Centurion Method of fitness (tumblr here) the more I’m coming up with white-supremacist and fascist stuff! I don’t know if it’s the creators of the CM or the end-users who are pushing this aspect of it, but it’s a little unsettling. The creators are obviously into Germanic, militaristic overtones as well as Norse mythology and motifs…but as we know so are a lot of metalheads and pagans. A heathen does not a nazi make, and lord knows I’ve worried enough about wearing Mjolnir in certain places for fear of being mistaken for a neonazi, what with having a shaved head (and many friends with shaved heads) as well. -I swear I’m just a balding homo who loves paganism!-

Anyway, not that I’m about to be starting workouts anytime soon, I have enough other things to worry about, but I intend to find out more about the Centurion Method and its inner workings before I spend any money on their manual. It’s not that I would have a problem using their workouts, I just wouldn’t want to give my money to a cause that may promote things which I strongly disagree with.

If anyone has an opinions or information on this subject, or just on the work out in general, and would like to share, please feel free to do so!

My views on the subject:

CM is building warriors. Not an army.

CM itself is totally unpolitical.

There is great diversity in political background among the practitioners i guess. Only sharing a contempt for the modern world in general, but maybe for different reasons. That and a will to better them selfs physically of course ;)

Does this answer your question?

Unsettling you say, you worry about shadows and the guilt of association this makes you weak and perhaps it’s not for you. Though in the end you alone can make that decision.

Overall there’s no cause other than that which was stated by deiwosex, if you can’t stand it you aren’t asked to. Only our detractors will call us that which you’ve stated so I won’t sully my thoughts on the subject, buzz words that are meant to cow the weak into submission. More importantly, none of the members have claimed this as of yet and any ‘information’ suggested otherwise must be taken with a heavy grain of salt as it’s most likely a fabrication.

Now it does encourage the formation of the Druhti - war bands of which fascism’s (of no political affiliation - important) but a segment. As for inner workings, again you worry about shadows.

That’s all there’s to be said about the matter.

p.s. I have a certain fondness for the swastika.

Imperium: The Crisis of Being details the cyclical nature of human history, and the rise and fall of all civilizations and cultures.

Here are some key points which are evidenced by brief glimpses into world history, ranging from ancient China to ancient Egypt:

• Every culture is imbued with its own ‘religious’ world-view
• As this idea is refined, it manifests itself as a multiplicity of cultural identities (nations)
• Each has their own, distinct interpretation of the world-view
• All energy directed inward [self-reflection in philosophy, art, science, literature) becomes directed outwardly towards politics, war, economics, and law.
• Final expression is idealism and expansion manifested as imperialism
• Culture is organic and does have a lifespan (roughly 45 human generations)

It is a cyclical process and as more people move to urban centers, they become disconnected from the cultural tradition of the countryside. All knowledge once focused inward is instead turned outward: cultural critique, deconstruction of ‘social norms’ and appeals to the impractical “ideal.”

Expansion will always occur until it exhausts all avenues and the Civilization collapses upon itself. “World Wars” are categorized by a utilization of technology and mass (in numbers) without hesitation or regard for the human consequences. Leaders become increasingly populist and use plebeian words to appeal to the now-displaced poor and lower classes in the cities; “greater good,” “the working man,” etc.

I highly suggest you take a look.

Worth your while.
