1h14’50″~ Because Susie Wiles! …from whom all the shittier appointments (and decisions to obstruct the genuinely serious and most capable candidates) originated.
(@thelastrefuge2 on X has painstakingly, at stupendous length documented this and the stygian depth of obdurate corruption of our squamous superiors in office a.k.a The Old Ones!)
I was going to post this under the Bowden piece, but listening to Zsutty talk about the buzzsaw that a “Drogan” will encounter online and the Bowden Project made me think it will fit here too.
When I heard Bowden claim that he’d first read Nietzsche “in the 28 volume Karl Schelchta edition” I knew he was a bullshitter.
Now there’s nothing wrong with that. A world without bullshitters would be a pretty bland place to live. But I had no idea it extended to every part of his life. Sometimes it’s better not to know.
Still, we’re lucky to have what we have from him, although in a way it might be a good thing Bowden didn’t live very far into the social media era.
Right on point regarding the counter-signalers who constantly second-guess Trump regarding the administration’s words and actions against the South African regime. This is a strange group of rightists indeed. Trump is far from perfect and has many negative aspects that could be discussed at length, but in general we have witnessed not only wonderful amplifications of our messages, but also actions taken to help white people. Yet still there have been these weird voices who post “fell for it again” memes. I’ve noticed that these folx come in two varieties: 1) American black pillers (pun intended), and 2) Spiteful Eurorightists. The second category interests me more because I think something interesting is going on here psychologically. Frankly I’m beginning to think they’re jealous that, unlike their own nations, America has proven itself capable of electing a right-wing government that can actually–sometimes–speak on the behalf of white people on a global scale. It’s so odd to see right-wing commentators who for years have bemoaned European speech laws suddenly seethe over J.D. Vance and others telling the leftist leaders of Germany and the UK that they need to let their people speak freely. It’s just bizarre. Many of these sorts have gone after not only Trump but also Tucker Carlson. Trump and Tucker Carlson have done more to expose the plight of white South Africans than anyone else, yet these rightist dissidents cannot accept that this is somehow a positive development. Instead Trump, Tucker, and the rest must always be “Zionist clowns” or whatever. I didn’t vote at all in the last election–I’m very happy not to have voted–and I’m lukewarm on many of Trump’s policies, but I can admit that things are obviously going much better than they have been, and we’ve seen breakthrough initiatives that are normalizing our talking points. Everything is not perfect and many actions will predictably be compromised. And I love Europe and value many of these Europeans’ thoughts on other matters. But I really think that many of these European dissidents just want everything to be bad everywhere all the time, and the very idea of America having elected a marginally (but decisively) positive leader just upsets them at a base level, so they have to keep acting like it isn’t real.
Yes, I am a little jealous that you have the First and the Second Amendments, and that there can be some electoral politics, however rigged.
It’s silly not to participate in elections, at least local. You can’t expect the establishment politicians to be talked into doing the opposite of what they have been doing for about 60 years.
On the Democrats only being able to double-down –
Well that’s the nature of progressivism isn’t it? It only goes in one direction. Democrats view “progress” as a type of moral science. It’s supposed to build on itself and their moral pronouncements are meant to convey the full authority of scientific discovery. To admit error at all is akin to invalidating the entire project.
Strangely I’ve been on a pound kick too, but with me, it’s more through his poetry. I started reading Golding’s Metamorphoses, which was the translation pound recommended, and I like it too now, for Golding seems to understand the nuance of the Latin better, whereas other translators don’t always understand specifically what is meant and I like how he incorporates the Regius scholia, but anyway, reading Ovid I realized the meaning of pound’s The Tree:
The Tree
I stood still and was a tree amid the wood,
Knowing the truth of things unseen before;
Of Daphne and the laurel bow
And that god-feasting couple old
that grew elm-oak amid the wold.
’Twas not until the gods had been
Kindly entreated, and been brought within
Unto the hearth of their heart’s home
That they might do this wonder thing;
Nathless I have been a tree amid the wood
And many a new thing understood
That was rank folly to my head before.
It means that when pound grew to adult abstractional powers, he realized the stories have symbolic meanings, eg. Apollo and Daphne and pan and syrinx mean that lost love is the taproot of the arts, while baucis and Philemon means that life will go on after death for the elect(Neoplatonism?). As a child pound thought all the haphazard transformations “rank folly.” When I came to this realization, I embarked upon a general reading of pound’s poetry, which I had found “rank folly” to my mind before!
Pound’s politics on the other hand, I thought a dead end. The source of his antisemitism was probably that he was one of the “guys” they were after. If they had been nice to him, he would have been writing epics about the perfectness of the Jewish race. That’s how life works. I don’t think that’s deniable after gaza.
