In risu veritas, continued

I have opined before that one of the ways through the multiculty/feminist Regime of Lies is to pay attention to what comedy shows. Groups laugh at themselves when they recognize truths, truths that they don't expect outsiders to notice, or at least to talk about in public. Chris Rock's piece about the difference between black people and niggers is the classic.

I have had a long-term crush on actor-turned-writer Dan Futterman. In order to enjoy the visual pleasure of his video company, I rewatched a set of Will & Grace episodes about Will & Jack's attempt to turn a newly out and unattractive nerd into a Real Gay Man... in a month. The series is called Fagmalion. Clever those gays, no? Barry, played by Dan, is their subject.

Barry "Doolittle"

My Fair Barry. Initiation into the pre-packaged identity of gayness. Before, above. After, below.

Barry's Big Reveal is at a Human Rights Campaign event, where the money raised "will go toward enacting hate crime laws and battling prejudice." They succeed so well that Will falls for his protege --hey, I would!--and asks the newly-fledged queer guy to go steady. Much truth here, sadly, within the laughs. And of course the audience only laughs because they recognize the truths.

The erotic attraction to other men comes naturally: the rest of it is socialization.

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.
