ex cathedra: Fools, then and now

Fools, then and now

I am watching a program called "Warlords", about Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. The degree to which Roosevelt and even Churchill allowed themselves to believe that Joseph Stalin --one of the most evil tyrants in human history-- was a reasonable and decent human being with whom agreements could be made...well, it is a jawdropping example of moral, intellectual and intuitive self-deception. In hindsight, pathetic. And these were the leaders of "the greatest generation".

Comparing these men with the caliber of men (and women) who are now the leaders of the West, the heart sinks.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
