Every great literature has always been allegorical — allegorical of some view of the whole universe. The Iliad is only great because all life is a battle, the Odyssey because all life is a journey, the Book of Job because all life is a riddle.
Pam Bondi claimed Jeffrey Epstein's client list was on her desk. The DOJ said no list exists. She was fired April 2. Todd Blanche replaced her as Attorney General. He was Epstein's defense attorney. The man who legally protected Epstein now controls what gets released.
In my lifetime the ridiculous numbers of things called "fascism" by serious leftists both publicly and in literature including...
• Heterosexual sex (Andrea Dworkin)
• Also homosexual sex (Maxim Gorky)
• The family (Wilhelm Reich/Deleuze and Guattari)
• Chastity (Wilhelm Reich)
• Desire for many children (Wilhelm Reich)
• Schools (Deleuze and Guattari)
• Offices (Deleuze and Guattari)
• Neighborhoods (Deleuze and Guattari)
• Cars (Deleuze and Guattari)
• Informal dress-codes (Sideeq Mohammed)
• Productivity (Sideeq Mohammed)
• Everyday behavior and the desire for order inside oneself (Foucault)
• Fitness (Naomi Klein)
...have increasingly done nothing but convinced me that fascism must not be that damn bad because the alternative seems to be like degenerate disorderly blobs of people that don't do anything.
@RoisinMichaux Most people living in the EU fail to understand that EU/Government-funded NGOs control almost every aspect of their lives,
They watch "dystopian" movies and count themselves lucky not to live such a life.
They are living such a life.
I want to emphasize that laws are not as powerful as white people think they are. People obey laws because of social stigma.
That's why nonwhites don't obey laws: their friends, family, and religious community WILL NOT punish them for breaking the law.
What if some white boys went into a Muslim restaurant and shouted down halal food? Not only would they be charged with a hate crime but they'd be kicked out of their churches and likely fired from their jobs.
These Muslims do that and get praise and respect from their peers and community.
There can be no world peace unless there is soul peace. World wars are only projections of the conflicts waged inside the souls of men and women, for nothing happens in the external world that has not first happened within a soul.
- Ven. Fulton Sheen
The question is not so much "Are there foreigners in my country?" but "Are there cosmopolitans in my country, cosmopolitans who act in complete indifference to my country, and all other countries?"
"Mysticism keeps men sane. As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity. The ordinary man has always been sane because the ordinary man has always been a mystic. He has permitted the twilight. He has always had one foot in earth and the other in fairyland. He has always left himself free to doubt his gods; but (unlike the agnostic of to-day) free also to believe in them."
–G.K. Chesterton
It is typical of our time that the more doubtful we are about the value of philosophy the more certain we are about the value of education. That is, the more doubtful we are about whether we have any truth, the more certain we are (apparently) that we can teach it to children.
As a matter of fact, of course, all education is religious education — and never more than when it is irreligious education. It either teaches a definite doctrine about the universe, which is theology; or else it takes one for granted, which is mysticism. If it does not do that it does nothing at all, and means nothing at all, for everything must depend upon some first principles and refer to some causes, expressed or unexpressed.
