Renaissance man lost in dusty archives while finding beauty in long forgotten notes, ancient Antiphons, and aching dirges of love

The wages of sin is death.

England died from its addiction to the violence of the welfare state and social engineering.

It’s a satanic offer.

You’re given everything, then lose your soul.

Dr. Charles Hoff says all Canadian doctors received 'warning letters' during COVID-19 threatening physicians with investigations or discipline if they spoke out against the prevailing narratives.

So covid was simply an excuse to bail out the banking system with $9T

With the release of the Fauci Diaries, it’s clear that the Canadian Truckers were right to push back against the unconstitutional, unlawful, and unscientific mandates that stripped millions of their God given freedoms.

It’s revealing that the truckers and their supporters are the only ones being punished.

Lyn Alden: After 2008, banks were bailed out. Bankers had one year without bonuses and then went straight back to making fortunes.

They won for years shorting the currency and owning scarce assets.

Then a crisis hit that would finally punish them for the leverage, and the government said "we're going to bail you out."

"Take the risk away, lock in all the gains you've had, and socialize the losses."

“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”

Giving money to the poor so they don’t commit crimes is morally indistinguishable from giving money to the Mafia so they don’t burn down your store.

It’s a pathetic shakedown.

@zerohedge And what’s the male version? - “happy hubby if she don’t get chubby”?

[Marinus Turfavius @MSphagnosvir]

@KnowledgeArchiv Yes. And yesterday we commemorated the death of Dominique Venner. May he rest in peace.

[Marinus Turfavius @MSphagnosvir]

@GadSaad Ironically, the same goes for classical music.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn gave the most controversial speech *against* Western Civilization at Harvard in 1978.

As a survivor of the Russian Gulags, they expected him to praise the West. Instead, he made a jarring accusation:

The West is a dying civilization. If it doesn't change its ways, it is doomed to collapse.

In fact, he said this has been the case for 500 years, when the West made a crucial mistake:

"How did the West decline from its triumphal march to its present debility?

...the mistake must be at the root, at the very foundation of thought in modern times. I refer to the prevailing Western view of the world which was born in the Renaissance…

I refer to humanism — the proclaimed autonomy of man from any higher force above him."

Solzhenitsyn said humanism made man autonomous from God, Truth, and objective morality.

If all morality is subjective, then man has nothing to live nor die for. Naturally, he loses his courage, embraces materialism, and grows effeminate to modern evils.

So, what is the solution?

A return to belief in a transcendental morality under God:

"If, as claimed by humanism, man were born only to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to death, his task on earth evidently must be more spiritual…

The fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one’s life journey may become above all an experience of moral growth: to leave life a better human being than one started it."

All cultures live, or die, based on their respect of the True, Good, and Beautiful.

To save the West, Solzhenitsyn says start with beautifying your soul, for that is both how you live well, and begin to make civilization itself beautiful again.

@StefanMolyneux It also caused the Versailles treaty which caused German hyperinflation which caused a very divisive and violent German population which caused the platform of the NSDAP.
