ex cathedra: How Did I Know That?

How Did I Know That?

The commercial for the sacred Prius, beloved of the green folks, has a background theme with the lyrics 'ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba". It is bouncy and chirpy, like many of the green folks --at least when they are not preaching at or hectoring the rest of us with their higher religious values.

But I have suspected from first hearing that it is not American music. For some reason, it has such a mindlessly and dicklessly Europop sound, I thought it might be Dutch. Turns out I was wrong.

It's Swedish. Done by a band called Suburban Kids with Biblical Names and it's called "Rent-A-Wreck".

I am impressed with my musico-cultural intuition. And I hate the song.

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.
