On YouTube and social media, a "nationalist" wave seems to be surging. There is talk of flags, borders, and identity. Yet, upon closer inspection, much of this discourse is merely two sides of the same coin: that of a system they claim to fight. Why can it be said that many of these nationalists are, at heart, "Republican golems"?
1. The Trap of a Nation Without God
The first observation is stark: one cannot claim allegiance to France while renouncing what constituted it for over a thousand years. A nationalism limited to defending "Republican values" or a militant secularism is a rootless nationalism. This is the error of the "golem": believing it defends France when it only defends an administrative and ideological construct born in 1789.
2. The Idolatry of Politics
Many of these influencers and activists place their ultimate hope in the ballot box or in the figure of a providential leader. This forgets that politics is merely a tool, not an end in itself. By focusing solely on the biological or material survival of the nation, they evacuate the spiritual and sacred dimension, which is the only one capable of giving real meaning to sacrifice and commitment.
3. Modernity as the Only Compass
Whether obsessed with statistics, a materialist vision of identity, or concepts of the "right" that are merely belated leftist ideas, these nationalists remain trapped within the modern paradigm. They are the "lost children" of the Revolution, seeking structure in a ruined world without wanting to rebuild the foundations: Faith and Tradition.
Conclusion: Rediscovering the Real France
To escape this "golem" condition, it is urgent to lift our eyes higher than the electoral horizon. France is not an abstract idea; it is a mission. Without this transcendent perspective, nationalism is merely the last spasm of the ego before the final collapse.
