More and more I cannot shake the notion that frankenstein's monster is the story of, and playbook against, nationalism and the western right.

"I shall collect my funeral pile and consume to ashes this miserable frame, that its remains may afford no light to any curious and unhallowed wretch who would create such another as I have been. "

On one level, Frankenstein can be seen as an argument between Frankenstein and the Monster. Frankenstein believes the Monster is evil, while the Monster insists that he would be good if he hadn’t been so badly treated.

The right in a nutshell when it pops off.

"There was none among the myriads of men who existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies? No: from that moment I declared everlasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me, and sent me forth to this insupportable misery. "

Goes with the idea that zionist is a globalist sociopolitical suicide cult that always creates or co-opts into creation, ideologies that become golems that eventually turn against it.

"Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition; for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me. "

The Monster has read Milton’s Paradise Lost, and he often compares his experience to the story of Satan in Milton’s poem. Here he says that, like Satan, he is excluded from human life and envies its happiness. However, whenever he compares himself to Satan, the Monster is also taking a jab at Frankenstein. Satan’s unhappiness is caused by his alienation from his creator, God. The Monster is accusing Frankenstein of playing God by creating him.

But in this case internationalism, and not God, created modern nationalism. And look at everything that nations and nationalism has become, and suffered under: endless replacement immigration, domination and subservience in all things to israel, infinite reparations to people who were never slaves, trannyism, pornography, mass poisoning, mass coercion, mass brainwashing, debt slavery till the end of time. Anything remotely 'right', tradition, religion, morality, family, social stability, property rights, is excluded from the right, and being stripped away from everyone on the right. Just as frankenstein's monster, comparing himself to satan in paradise lost, was excluded by 'god' from a happy life.

"For a long time I could not conceive how one man could go forth to murder his fellow, or even why there were laws and governments; but when I heard details of vice and bloodshed, my wonder ceased, and I turned away with disgust and loathing. "

Here is the the genesis of 'right wing lunatics' and the general incesant demonization of millions of otherwise peaceful people as "violent terrorists", for their completely justified outrage at the endless series of provocations and outright violence from the left and DC et al.

The Monster claims that when he was first created he could not even understand murder, and that when he did come to understand “bloodshed,” it made him feel “disgust and loathing.” At the same time, the Monster makes a more subtle point in his defense. Human beings “go forth to murder” so often that “laws and governments” are needed to stop them: there is therefore nothing inhuman or unnatural about the Monster’s capacity for murder.

When the right finally loses its shit over the rampant mistreatment of millions of people, not counting the victims of blm and antifas riots, not counting the J6, or the mass coercion and lockdown campaign--when they finally lose it, the reasoning will probably sound like it was taken straight from the monster's mouth.

I think this is a pretty-apt comparison between the themes of the last sixty years and a classic story, and this is the first that I've seen it.

Like a tl;dr of modern times.

E. Michael Jones does a great bio on Mary Shelley and her mother in his book Libido Dominandi. Her mother was an early feminist during the French revolution and was basically a little slut that was just smart enough to get herself into some serious shit. She got knocked up by an "enlightened intellectual" that bailed on her and the kid (Mary Shelley). They lived a hard life due to those lifestyle choices and if I remember correctly, Mom killed herself. This jaded Shelley and she wrote Frankenstein as a political novel. I think I got all that right, check out the book. Interesting stuff

Nice analogy. It's like the old saying goes. "We are nice...until we are not."

"We are nice...until we are not."

It was the opposite in frankenstein's monster though.

He was not friendly, until he was. I see what you're saying though.
