It takes a Potemkin village

One of the endless examples of how media and advertizing perpetrate a hugely false image of how the world really is. We are conditioned over and over to regard the impossible as the ordinary.

And if the impossible fails to materialize, to feel that it is somehow our fault.

If you didn't know what Analytics is either, it's the analysis of data in the service of informed decision-making. Details, if you care to know, here.

Now imagine how many of these MA students are gonna look at all like the pic.

But we must continue to perpetrate The ~~Fantasy~~ Dream.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
