@annakhachiyan I used to have a lot of empathy for Pedro just because he really did get screwed by elements of the Trump coalition and he had done great work before that. But he couldn't pull out of the resentment-fueled nosedive that ensued and now a creature of resentment is all he can be.

Why do some of you care so much about what other people who have nothing to do with you and your life are doing and what happens to them? Why do you need this for yourself?

having been part of a few conversations that did shape world historical events, you should be careful what you wish for

In twenty years nobody will know who CuriousBunnie12 is. It is highly plausible that my husband's name will be remembered in even two hundred years. Like it or not, he's shaping civilization.

obv the single men listen to Dyer. I don't have a read on who influences the single women.

the stay at home moms at my church are watching Nick Fuentes. He's a little too much for the dads who are listening to Candace Owens.

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

@SteveSkojec @roddreher Steve, I think you live near a Western Rite Orthodox Church, St. Augustine of Canterbury. Might be worth trying out. All the best.

@VDAREJamesK Whiter than we thought

[Third Rome @thirdrometakes]

@AntelopeHill Hm…more like West Coasters lie about history, East Coasters lie about religion.

@roddreher Maybe you should stay in Tel Aviv, Rod.

In the foreword to Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe makes the point that the death of the novel happened in part because American life itself is so absurd and surreal that no writer could ever hope to match, let alone exceed its daily supply of retarded stories and scandals

[Third Rome @thirdrometakes]

@BWLH_ @VDAREJamesK That was great.

@johndlukacs @CSandbatch this is the correct answer

[Niccolo Soldo (Fisted By Foucault) @FistedFoucault]

All the original guys who were willing to put up fists got arrested and then thrown under the bus the so-called "right wing" leadership years and years ago, and now all that's left is the Matt Forney Craven Physical Coward type

People who are dependents of the state shouldn’t have the vote.

Every classical understanding of democracy understood this, but in our hyper-democratic era, we’ve forgotten it with predictably hideous consequences.

[Helen Andrews @herandrews]

Bloom was very hard on his colleague Clinton Rossiter for equivocating during the Cornell ’69 crisis. Rossiter tried to engage with the radicals and grant some of their demands, and Bloom refused to speak to him again.

Rossiter killed himself shortly after. Apparently in his final months he would walk drunkenly around campus trying to get colleagues to shake his hand. Probably he had reason to feel ashamed of how he had acted, but still, a tragic case.

I was there, Timbet. I was there 15 years ago.
