MacGregor certainly has the vision and has identified the Money Power as behind it all. But he is keeping his cards close to the vest on where and when he will jump into the 2024 election. He told me personally he will not be a candidate. Will he step in to support Trump? That's my guess.
"the fantasies of social justice..... are a better mannered and generalised personal resentment." Yes, I said similar in my own post yesterday:
"And then there is Love in the Abstract: Love of complete strangers. Western lefty liberals love almost everyone – all 8 billion of them. With exceptions of course. Exceptions might be white people or males or both ...... You cannot, of course, be of any actual, realistic use to those abstract objects of your Love but along the way you can – by unfavourable comparison - really diss the more proximate objects of your displeasure. For sentimentalising one party often entails demonising another. Loving strangers is a great way of working through your resentments against people of your own kind but a bit more successful than you." https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/love-of-the-people
OK. Gotta to ease up on the blackpilling a little bit. Populism has a purpose. Not everyone is addicted to the digital universe. Many of us have many children.
There is indeed a lot to chew on. The Alma Mater Redemptoris was the one hopeful part of your post. This hymn is sung at the TLM mass during the Advent and Christmas season. I'm curious if you are you aware of some of the warnings from The Blessed Virgin Mary or prophecies from some of the mystics regarding the chastisement?
Oh my, sorry, but schadenfreude is my prerogative, my nasty pleasure and I will not give in so easily. A requiem is insufficient: no dice.
Please, the idiocy of the liberal Utopianism, the abject rejection of the obvious and the attendant destruction of the west, no way Jose, I do not concede. I say they must “shake the hot hand”: Robespierre was necessary, effective and correct.
If our author is right, and the time of reckoning is coming, I want revenge (no idea how, dirty looks and figure pointing?). The Kierkegaard quote, that speaks for me and not enjoying the spectacle of the fire is not on.
I know where it should begin: the Academy. It’s their fault. Fault lies with our professorate. I suspect there is a rump 20% who understand and are currently suffering in silence, they could rise up against the zealots. Mao’s purge of the intellectuals was also necessary effective, and correct.
Many comments in my head while reading this. There were some excellent points, some requiring exposition, and some requiring criticism. But it certainly wasn't boring.
While I’m no fan of the man, Ronald Reagan is responsible for one of my favorite quotes:
“Don’t be afraid to see what you see”
It kind of perfectly sums up the problem of modernity and its solution in one sentence.
James Fenimore Cooper-a great writer!
