The “Ballad of the White Horse” has gems as well:

Chesterton’s thoughts on philosophy tend to be extremely twee and glib, but some of his poetry is quite enjoyable—heroic, boyish adventure type stuff.

“Lepanto” is probably his best—unapologetic Crusader triumphalism, easy to memorize/read aloud, great fun.

@ssphinxe I’ve read it multiple times and still don’t get what his point is.

And it doesn’t matter whether this involves criminal/objectively reckless behavior. Even just seeming to run afoul of the ever-changing dictates of libtard moralism can make you permanently unemployable. Woke is far from dead, despite dishonest claims to the contrary.

Insofar as Gen Z is more “risk averse” than previous generations, it’s mostly a rational response to existing conditions. Margins are much thinner now, one mistake or bad decision can easily ruin your life.

Most gen-z culture reporting exists just to gratify boomer narcissism. The articles are all like: "Step into the wacky world of Gen-Z where film photos, vinyl, baked beans, bell-bottoms, and giving up your seat on the subway for old people is back in style."

“People” who enjoy Ted Lasso are subhuman.

i just want one of these fuckers to trip, fall into a time machine, and then pop out in the 1300s and try to explain to their british ancestors that they share a deep racial essence with the strange bronze-skinned denizens of a land two thousand miles to the southeast

As with every other institution in the West, the Church has come to favor biomass rather than excellence, mere life over the higher, sanctified life that it purports to offer.

This post is obviously nonsense but raises an interesting question—if Catholicism had remained the chief religion of Northern Europe, we might well associate it with thrift, industriousness, and sobriety rather than laxity and lasciviousness.

Brazil was better when their players were womanizers, drunkards and slightly out of shape. In other words, when they were behaving like Catholics— letting the power of friendship and good fun do the heavy lifting.

Evangelical Protestant sterilization has flattened their ball, ruined their samba, and obliterated their swag.

World historic aura loss.

Where it was previously a means of ascent for the post-Roman barbarians to the high cultures of Western Europe, it has become merely a lowest common denominator for the masses, that sacrifices truth and rigor for a degraded unity.

90 percent of generational discourse is just marketing/memes and doesn’t mean anything in reality.

@davverista “He also never said this.”

He’s clearly the hero to Shakespeare, a century and a half prior.

Perhaps the most revolutionary part of both the French and American revolutions was the reversal of value judgements on the Ides of March. Brutus was, for most of Western European history, considered a traitor, an equal of Judas Iscariot, the revolutions considered him a hero.

@Audmund Because it threatens their self-image as people who actually drive events rather than court jesters for the GOP/Con Inc.
