X is a daily confirmation of Ortega’s Revolt Of The Masses.

@JoelWebbon Dude, you are treading on perilously thin ice. Dragging God‘s holy and eternal Gospel into your Gnostic racist nationalism will not bode well on this or the other side of eternity.

@walterkirn Right, left, up, down, the reformer’s urge to tyrannize is always present.

@jeffreytucker Just bought it! Wonderful collection. Can’t wait to dive in. Was recently re-reading Ex America, etc. (The People’s Pottage), but have not read his novels, though I own a couple.

It’s laughable that this rag once published things like Albert Jay Nock’s 1936 essay, “Isaiah’s Job.” But Nock wouldn’t be surprised at the decline at the Atlantic. Indeed, he frequently relied on “Gresham’s Law” (bad money drives out good) to explain this exact type of thing. Amazing.

@ChasChampion00 @GadSaad @RichardDawkins I hadn’t the patience to look it up, but I’ll take your word for it.

@GadSaad @RichardDawkins Zzzzzzzzzz. Voegelin handled this decades ago. But since no one reads Voegelin, Zzzzzzzzzz.

It’s a bit obscure, but 32 years ago theologian, Michael Horton, wrote a book called, Beyond Culture Wars: Is America a Mission Field or A Battlefield? I’m starting it again for the third time at least, and find it more relevant today than it was in 1994. He also thanked David Walsh for his book, Beyond Ideology, which he found to be “a significant help.”

“If the West is to go under, it will have had the pleasure of reading its own obituary, the most erudite and voluminous obituary ever penned. And no Westerner can protest that he was not warned.” ~ Kenneth Winetrout [epigraph to B.G. Brander’s 1998, “Staring Into Chaos: Explorations In the Decline of Western Civilization”]

@ToryAnarchist @bronwenmcshea One of those books which in itself is a mind-boggling masterpiece, but also which, if you followed the “the book to read is … “ prompts that are throughout, you’d have yourself a world-class and near priceless education.

@mirandadevine Why does his, and Talarico’s, and others’ speaking style sound like parodies of Barack Obama? In Abdul’s case, he sounds like Obama on 3X speed. 😩

@spencerpratt We all look for excuses to blame God and reject him. The original sin.

The COVID lie that started it all!

[Matt Orfalea @0rf]

CNN: “Covid was a scary time.”

RFK JR: “You were scaring people.”

CNN: “Why are you saying that?”

Ahem..

@paul_jkrause So far it’s been The Voegelinian Revolution (Sandoz). But another read of The Iliad is a close second.
