ex cathedra: My bad

My bad

My Christian Nihilist friend believes six impossible --well, at least contradictory-- things before breakfast each and every day. He believes life is meaningless, but would give his for his dog. He is a loner libertarian who consistently votes for statist Democrats. He likes Jesus but has no use for God. Other than that he's a very nice guy.

One of his solutions to America's broken state is to re-institute the draft. No exemptions. He is a military veteran who holds in contempt Commanders in Chief who never served...well, there it gets complicated. Obama is exempt because he is Black, which in my friend's mind pretty well excuses anything. And Bush was in the military, but not actually in combat, so that made him a privileged asshole...you see how it goes...Anyway, he thinks it would do everyone a lot of good, especially the spoiled rich kids.

I have opposed the idea, largely because the energy and money it would take to deal with a huge number of America's current multicultural youth would be a waste of time at best. Fragging would start up in ten minutes.

But today I thought that I might be wrong, that this in fact might be a very good idea.

What if all those leukophore university kids who will grow up voting liberal Democrat were forced to live cheek by jowl with the Other America they are so passionately in favor of and, of course, live at a safe and compassionate distance from? What if they had to experience what Viet Nam era draftees did: right in there 24/7 with the hip hop yoofs and all the colorful eses from El Barrio for a couple of years?

Who knows? That might...and I emphasize might...wake them up to what their futures actually are in the new Rainbow America they love so much.

Does this idea make me a bad person?

Maybe come up with a sneaky way of instituting some sort of child exchange program? Kids will have to live with somebody else's family for a time, preferably of a different racial group.

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.
