ex cathedra: Seven deadlies

Seven deadlies

If I had to rank myself for the Seven Deadly Sins, this would be my guess:

1. sloth...procrastination has been the absolute bane of my life.

2. gluttony...you don't have to be overweight to be fixated on food and drink.

3. lust...on my mind a lot, even if I am, by gay standards, a moderate.

4. pride...intellectual mostly.

5. envy...half-hearted: I would like to have what others have and I feel I lack,
but I don't want to take theirs away from them to get it...see Sloth.

6. wrath: though I don't show it very much, I feel it a lot.

7. greed: again, desire does not get implemented very much.

I would certainly trade sloth for one of the others as my chief flaw. Greed or wrath or even pride.

Since this is a self-assessment, a lot of it could be wrong.

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.
