Recently, a friend told me that in his view, the most dangerous ideologies/religions are those based on promises for an afterlife, referring mianly to islam and to some extent christianity. David’s comment on communism/fascism shows an affinity with islam that is bot deep and not trivially apparent. In my view, this comment is a major step into understanding what is happening now. A war between those who relinquish any link to reality (whoever they are, not necessarily muslims or communists), and others.

Congratulations for this great intellectual contribution.

Really? What about Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Europe? Comparision of various measures of “The Good Life” usually show that other countries are ahead of the USA in health, education, standard of living, longevity, etc.

This statement is so absurd that it boggles the imagination.

We just made it up as we went, matching it all up with our intangible ideals. We thought we knew everything. We were so morally superior, too, at least in our own minds. We knew what was right for everyone, and anyone who did not agree was — well, just no good somehow.

I am glad this is being revealed. Though I lived through it myself (before my change), I couldn’t really recognize it from the inside of the movement. I was totally given over to getting this supposedly great work done, highly motivated and very dedicated…couldn’t see much of anything good about this wonderful country, though deep in my heart I knew better.

I am forever grateful to have had a turn-around.

Hard to believe how much in that space I was!!

I still marvel at the liberal-mind bubble.

To an extent, yes, you can call me a “commonist” because I believe the truth George Orwell wrote, “some pigs are more equal than others and thus get sent to the pork chop factory.” There. I said it.

However, to deserve that equality worthy of the butchers block, you have to be of the utmost utilitarian evil. I get it, okay. People kill people, but sometimes that is because they have accidentally summoned the practical monsters from the abyss and just cannot stop themselves from killing.

It is not that fascists love the institutions, but it as if the institutions reach a critical mass under fascist societies which is run by a two headed monster. For evil Hitler, there was a hidden Reyhard Heydrich who not only built death camps, but made the death camps run at a genius efficiency worthy of Beethoven or Mozart’s genius. It as if Walt Disney built a country modeled after not just bad, but really bad borderline-narcissist human pairings.

However you know what really screws up fascist societies? Not the Yippie movement, but wrongheaded do-gooders. The theoretical “evil homers” who can somehow pollute Hitler. The Art of Warfare boils down to one thing and one thing only: Whoever can summon the most druids from the woods while at the same time bogging the other sides champion down in the largest suit of armor and then smashing them with the biggest amalgam of rocks and sticks win, period. It wasn’t the Jew’s ideas that destroyed western society, but Einsteins theoretical poisoned apple bestowed from above.

Nevertheless that someone may believe it seems still so strange. Then, the same person’s subsequent journey out of it accompanied by all the unraveling that must be done is very interesting.

And, one should add, therefore justifies any tactic, no matter how low, mean, illegal, vicious, or reprehensible to achieve that impossible end.

By the way — where has Guido(the Enlightened) got to? Haven’t seen him around here lately, jousting with his poison-tipped rubber saber.
