Reflecting on history, specifically the transition to the multi-party system in 1945 and the aftermath of WWII, one truth remains constant: societies will always crave change. Yet, looking at the present, I see a familiar pattern. While foundations were laid, the lack of sustainable, impactful progress has left us with fragile structures.It’s often said that people only need something to believe in, but history proves that belief is never enough without leadership.This leads me to a deeper skepticism of the world we accept as “normal”:

• The Illusion of Duty: We view taxes and conscription as civic duties, yet the state often operates with mechanisms that feel more like a “mafia-like” authority than a guardian.
• Standardized Control: Civil institutions—law, insurance, and business—often seem like nothing more than the modernization of ancient power dynamics, designed to protect the interests of the powerful through “contracts.”
• Narrative vs. Truth: Why does journalism or commentary often feel more alluring than science? Because they interpret reality through subjective lenses, relying on self-created internal logic rather than objective facts.

In a world where the greatest enemies are the powers that exploit and destroy—where every war births black markets, profiteering, and global trafficking—I find my clarity elsewhere.This is why Neofolk holds such significance for me. It is more than music; it is an aesthetic and intellectual refuge from the mechanical decay of modernity and a search for authenticity within the wreckage of history. 🌿🏴
