ex cathedra: Acting

Acting

Although I am unsympathetic to using celebrities like actors as beacons of political wisdom, I do appreciate it when they are good at what they are supposed to be good at: making us believe they are someone they are not.

Stephen Lang can convince you that he is

the pussy-whipped husband at a Christian reparative therapy house for homosexuals in Save Me.

and

a kick-ass nasty bad-guy soldier of evil in the stupefyingly derivative Avatar.

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.
