ex cathedra: Hmmm

Hmmm

An author of a book on Osama Bin Laden points out that if the US just uses airpower in Libya, it is leading the West into another lost war. And wants to know why Congress wasn't consulted and asked for its approval. I think I am not on board with this Libyan thing.

I was thinking about "the world" in the sense of "the international community". Talk about social constructs. Or polite lies. Or illusions.

The UN? Please. The Crips and the Bloods.

When the Darfur genocide goes on. In Africa. Where are the Africans? Why are a few Europeans and the Americans supposed to respond to Libya? Where are the Arabs?

"The international community" may be a few civilized nations, but the rest are just a mob.

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.
