Alas

One of the finest lookin fellas on one of my favorite websites --one of the many highly attractive men in Vancouver-- is, alas, an idiot. Intellectually lazy and self-congratulatory. Totally typical.
From his profile:

I don't beleive in tolerance but rather acceptance when it comes to issues like sexual orientation, race, religion, age etc. It is not the position of one group of people to "tolerate" another like some annoying occurance. While I may not understand other cultures I do not judge others based on my own beliefs. My only prejudices are against predjudice itself and the ignorance by which prejudice is born.

Translation: I believe in acceptance of other groups except when that other group does not accept what I do.
I do not judge others based on my own beliefs...except when I judge them to be prejudiced and ignorant.
I am accepting and non-judgmental except when I am not.

Do these people not listen to themselves?

Perhaps even 3D cast crucifixes and other Christian statuary will have to be replaced with flat 2d ikons, as in the East where pressure from Islam seems to have been a factor vs 3D crucifixes.; 2:46 PM, March 17, 2011

It was a mere figment of rightwing paranoids that "secular humanists" set the valuational agenda for public schools, Hollywood culture, etc.

Perhaps lessons from the reign of the Moghuls in India can be used for dealing with Hindu Indians in the neo-Islamic West.

But I suppose the spiritual imagery of indigenous Indians can't expect toleration. Fortunately, totem poles etc are for museums nowadays because most native peoples in North America are Christians, that is, "colonized" people of the book. Paleface anthropologists won't be happy campers, though, when indijimus idols meet with Aufhebung.; 2:54 PM, March 17, 2011

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.
