ex cathedra: Change and permanence

Change and permanence

Watching --on my new 32" bigscreen TV-- one of the first March of Time newsreels from 1935, which were shown in American theaters before the feature films until the 50's. Fascinating stuff.

What has changed: an American fined for speeding in France refuses to pay his $6 fine because France still owes more than $140 million to the US in war debt. He says he'll pay the fine into the foreign account of the US Treasury toward that debt. The French judge agrees!

What has not changed: a political painting attacking the Roosevelt New Deal, including caricatures, is destroyed by fire in its gallery by a pro-Democrat illegal immigrant (Lithuanian: how quaint) who resents that opinion. An early form of the attitude that "hate speech" (against the favored of the Left only btw!) is not protected by the First Amendment.

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.
