Imagine going through the effort of worldbuilding and trying to connect rapidly fading dots of obscure pagan traditionsΒ (I genuinely applaud your patience in this thread and on your Substack) but this is the end of the road.
Templism allows TND. The passage quoted is simply true. How you implement that is up to you. On a national scale, it is obvious that the proper heuristic is "blacks are no good". Even if there is like 1 out of one hundred thousand who is ok, that is not statistically significant to alter national policy, though it is obviously significant to alter your personal relationship with that one person.
Templism is not designed to be a "throwaway religion". It is not designed to execute TND and then to become ill-suited for society because the "TND ethnic persecution meme" fails to account for other truths like those above, causing needless ethnic hostility in Europe or elsewhere. Many religions do this. They start with a very limited purpose, peddling retard-propaganda for that limited purpose, and thereafter the retard-propaganda wreaks havoc on the world when the limited purpose fades away, or it reduces the believability of the doctrine such that ridiculous rationalizations must be created to account for it.
The passage cited is true and that is all that matters. You can still do TND. There are many other passages that set that precedent.
The versatility of TC is shown in the non-canonical document Wyrd!. Wyrd! is a Germanic Templist document, which highlights the fact that TC is supposed to be the "basis" of Templism, with more specific "throwaway" applications being developed through time. These are called "flavorings" of Templist Canon.
Wyrd! is extremely racist. It details a political ideology which provides ideas as to how blacks, and other foreigners, can be "reduced, culled, or disempowered". It slanders Mediterraneans repeatedly (though does not advocate hostility against them). It crusades against "nigger behavior" and the like.
But once the nigger problem is gone, so too can the ethnic persecutory nature of Wyrd! subside. The alternative would be a retard-meme-religion focused monomaniacally on ethnic strife for all eternity.
The passage continues immediately below the screenshot passage:
"It is possible, for example, that a given Asian person will possess qualities X, Y, and Z that will endear him to a given European person who also possesses qualities X, Y, and Z. These qualities tie the two within the same non-racial tribe. Yet, the given European person cannot possibly inspect every Asian person to determine if they are X or not X, Y or not Y, Z or not Z. All he knows about them in aggregate is that they are Asian, and so this is how he must treat them in aggregate, while making exceptions for individuals who he does perceive to possess X, Y, and Z qualities.Β
It is true, though, that a European with X, Y, and Z qualities is more similar to a European with X, Y, and Z qualities than to an Asian with X, Y, and Z qualities. It is also true that different qualities are weighted differently, and that it is natural for ethnic qualities to be weighted as highly important. Therefore a relationship, or organization, consisting of different races will often be discordant, with each member wishing to act in the service of his own race. This does not necessarily make such an organization 'bad', only likely to be discordant."
These statements about human psychology are true. As Templist Canon is supposed to be a sound basis for moral action, not merely an animating "meme", this is all that matters as far as we are concerned. How you apply it is another question. Maybe you don't like any Asians. I don't, never met one that I did terribly like. But the philosophy is about what is true and not about me memeing my particular preferences knowable at this specific moment into all eternity. It is possible that I could meet one that I do like, and this is true so I wrote it down.
