World Gone By

Watching When Worlds Collide again. 1951.

Leading man Richard Derr is a much sexier version of Danny Kaye.

Leading lady Barbara Rush is the brilliant scientist daughter of her brilliant scientist father. Yet she exhibits the classical female double mating strategy. She's torn --not really-- between The Stable Nice Guy and the Maverick Bad Boy. Guess who wins.

The United Nations exhibits its now legendary uselessness by rejecting the warnings of the brilliant scientist.

The leading man is an American who has decided to live and work in South Africa. No one remarks on the evils of apartheid.

No surprise, really. When the final group of survivors is chosen to board the space ship for the new world, they are monochromatically White.

And American.

This is completely unremarked upon. (Now that's what I call cultural self-confidence!)

The Evil Bad Guy is Differently Abled. But he understands human nature far better than the rational and morally upright scientists. And his capitalist money is what funds the project that will save the sons of Adam from extinction, including the humanitarian prigs who find him morally repugnant.

Funny how hard it is for sentimental liberals to keep from subverting their own ideology.

Heh.

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.
