10th Position, the ideology of 10th Positionists, is a political outlook that is intimated in some parts of the Templist Canon and arguably by the zeitgeist of the Amarna Forum.
Quote:“Loyalty over ideology” means, refusing to sacrifice those with whom you have personal loyalties (e.g friends, family, those to whom you have sworn loyalty) or impersonal loyalties (e.g countrymen, ethnic-folk, locals, those who you personally like or are-like but have not met), for some kind of abstract ideology.
Quote:An honorable society ... holds men to account for whichever they choose. They are trusted according to how they act. Nobody may act like a dishonorable rogue, yet be trusted by fiat.
Quote:There needs to be a political subculture, aligned with the Templist ethos (perhaps, an extension of the Templist subculture), which has a penchant for analyzing localities; their issues, demographics, geographies, economics, reliable statistics, political strategic environment etc, and applying our ethos to such local knowledge.
Quote:The decision about what to do with a [Proud Boys, which a reader suggested are "broken, therefore must be destroyed"] chapter [to assist it, destroy it, manipulate it, do nothing, etc] should be based upon an understanding of local and specific facts.
Quote:A decentralized subculture in a given area, characterized by personal relationships of friendship and honor. In this case, there is no expectation of legality (or illegality), and Templists freely choose to support each other in their endeavors or to abstain from them. The [new royalty] claimant arises organically once such a claimant is needed.
Quote:There are virtuous and unvirtuous people in a variety of religions, ideologies, and organizations. Many Templists, even, are sure to be unvirtuous losers - people who are born to serve the interests of the virtuous.
Quote:Ideologies describe the intent of a group in the treatment of their actual or hypothetical subjects.
Quote:For, there are a potentially innumerable amount of people that can be looked into as potential clansmen. To properly narrow down the recruitment pool, the clan should primarily look for new members in those tribes that are most likely to harbor clannishly similar individuals.
Quote:It is true, per Tribes of Virtue, that ideologies themselves are tribes of people who have impersonal (often as well as personal) loyalties. For most people, ideological loyalties are not greater than non-ideological loyalties. If, in a given person or group of people, these loyalties are naturally greater, then many of the exampled actions become advisable for them where for most people they are inadvisable. My point is therefore not to admonish against any particular activity, but against the motivation of sacrificing affinities for principles or mere ideas.
