Sonette Ehlers, an inventor from South Africa where the rape problem is rather imminent has invented the ‘anti rape condom’ which is used like a tampon would be used: its inserted into the vagina and must be worn at all times. So far, so good. If anyone is insane enough to wear such an ugly device 24 hours a day to prevent a possible rape (and I’m as much against rape as anyone, but how can you seriously suggest someone should wear something like this for 15 years in their vagina just to prevent a possibility?) – look at what this actually implies: the woman must suffer for the potential behaviour of men.

In my opinion this is a criminal device, since the definition of a criminal device is that, wrongly used, it can harm innocent people. Who says this condom wont be used by revengeful lovers, by a wife tired of her husband, by idiots, by drunks, etc. etc.? The potential for abuse is huge, and its therefore a device that should be forbidden.

Instead of forcing women to wear unpleasant devices, why not actually try to educate the male part of the population? And mind you i’m no rose coloured spectacles sort of guy: I am talking a Spartan sort of education here, with serious sexual training for males. Lots of the problems comes from wrong education and wrong cultural traditions. Education is the only weapon we have against such inane traditions. Horror equipment like this wont do any good.

What does Novo Unversalis think of Social Darwinism?

We are against such ideas, like Nietzsche was. The idea that the ‘strongest always survive’ is a delusional fabrication of Evolutionists. The opposite is true, as Nietzsche rightfully observed: all our institutions and traditions are centered around the idea to make anything ‘strong’ or ‘high’ impossible.

The irony of our western states is that they in fact are not very different from the communist states they used to deplore. As an individual one has to serve the collective for 60 years, after which you are ‘rewarded’ a few years of freedom to enjoy yourself. The difference with communism is mainly that capitalism succeeded in surrounding this position with superior illusions.

The illusion industry of the West is in such state now that it can accomplish miraculous things, such as present a 50-year-long Washington insider multimillionaire as an advocate of change.

How does Novo Universalis see the Obama phenomenon?

Unfortunately we do not think he will make any difference. The fact that he has pegged his cabinet with old insiders and hardliners, under the cheers of Dick Cheney, points to the same illusion machine mentioned above. But the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a good testcase. If Obama doesn’t come out and condemn it we can safely say he’s just another media puppet.

So are you a pacifist movement?

We are not against war per se, but we are against unsportive war. The idea that there would be something ‘desirable’ in battling a stone age tribe with an overkill of modern technology is exemplary of immense spiritual corruption.

We would like to create a different sort of education system where the prime focus does not lie on ‘pumping machine knowledge’ into kids but developing character qualities in our young people, qualities of chivalry, heroism, honour. A Spartan education system that focusses on the highest possible qualities, where philosophy, poetry, fysical skills and test of intelligence are created that do not exist only on paper. After this spartan eduction, when they reach the age of 18, they will be free until they are 35 years old, so they can enjoy their life at its full height. After that, they are supposed to serve community for the rest of their lives. They will be glad to, out of a feeling of gratitude. In the current situation, the idea of service is not one out of gratitude but out of the old suspended fear model – it’s simply the transgression from the ‘have a boring life and you’ll be rewarded after death’ of christianity to ‘have a boring life and you’ll be rewarded when you’re 65′ of modern kapitalism. It’s not essentially much different.

Aren’t these ideas rather naive and impractical?

In what sense? Listen, there will never be any ‘change’ unless we change the system itself. It’s perfectly all right with us if you don’t want any change, but then you should stop complaining about it. You either want change, then you have to change the current system (media democracy) – or you don’t want change, fine, but don’t come complain to us when the New Dark Ages arrive.

But your ideas are naive in the sense that, for example, all war is by definition unsportive

That is a nonsensical idea with no basis in reality. Any General that prides himself from winning a battle between Goliath and David is not a general worthy of its name, in fact in our opinion he is not a general at all but a coward. You cannot understand the ethics of war until you have thoroughly studied classical masterpieces such as The Art of War by Sun Tzu. The problem is not, and has never been, war itself: it is the wrong immoral and corrupted application of war that is the problem. Without any chivalry, honour and dignity there simply is no real masculinity. A real warrior looks the enemy into his eyes. Real wars do not know any ‘collateral damage’.
