YOU KNOW, IF THEY JUST DITCH THE LITTLE RED BOOK SOMEONE CONVINCED THEM WAS THE REAL GOSPEL, THINGS WILL BECOME MUCH CLEARER:  The Bishops In Their Labyrinth.

YOU KNOW, THIS GAVE ME ONE OF THOSE SCARY FEELINGS LIKE “AND HERE?”  I DON’T LIKE WHERE WE’RE HEADED AND I’M HAVING TROUBLE SEEING A WAY OUT. AND NO, I DON’T MEAN TRUMP. I MEAN THE PARTY WHO HATES HUMANS BUT PARTICULARLY AMERICANS:  Eerily prescient 1907 poem by Stefan George: “Der Widerchrist”.

WHEN THE MASKS ARE DOWN, EVERYTHING BECOMES SO CLEAR:  True Colors.

AND YES, STAY IN YOUR LANE ALSO GOES FOR ACTORS, AND SCIENTISTS WHO RUN THEIR MOUTHS ON POLITICS, REVEALING TOTAL IGNORANCE OF POLITICS AND ECONOMICS*: “This is my lane”.

*As for Occluded Cortex, who claims a graduate degree in economics and thinks that money comes from the tooth fairy… we’ve got nothing.  We think her lane is posing for socialist-glamour photos.  Oh, and starring in really funny memes on the right. Though we don’t oppose her annoying Nancy Pelosi either. Karma is a right b*tch, you know?

NEW, FROM MY FRIEND LAURA MONTGOMERY:  Like a Continental Soldier.

The starship Valerie Hall failed to reach the terraformed world of its original destination. Instead, it found a habitable substitute where the settlers split into two factions. First Landing devolved into a rude replica of medieval despotism. Seccon might promise more.

Or so hope Gilead Tan and his companions.

Gilead spent three centuries in cold sleep, held there by a First Landing custom that decreed only one sleeper could be awakened every fifty years. Once awake, Gilead freed two dozen of his fellows—all soldiers like himself—and led them into the wilderness.

Close to two hundred civilians still lie trapped in the decaying cryo-cells of First Landing. Their captive slumber haunts him.

But despite its vaunted freedom, Seccon has one rule. No one goes back to First Landing.

NO. LET’S GO FURTHER: IN DEFENSE OF ALL NATIONALISM.  WWI WAS NOT CAUSED BY NATIONALISM, IT WAS CAUSED BY STUPID INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCES.  A WORLD WITH NO BORDERS WOULD BE JUST LIKE THAT. EVERYTHING WOULD BE A WORLD WAR. AND WORLD WAR II WAS THE SECOND EPISODE OF WORLD WAR I AND NATIONALISM WAS INCIDENTAL TO THE SOCIALISM. RAISING CHILDREN TO HATE THEIR OWN COUNTRIES IS KILLING THE WEST. LET’S STOP THAT MESS NOW. PEOPLE FEEL THEY NEED TO BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.  I’D RATHER THE SOMETHING BIGGER BE THEIR OWN COUNTRY THAN “SOCIAL JUSTICE” OR “INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISM” OR OTHER THINGS THAT ALLOW THE BOOT TO STOMP ON THE HUMAN FACE FOREVER:  In defense of American nationalism.

We stop running from nationalism right now, right here.  Of course we, in America, have the best country in the world to love, but if other people want to be proud of their countries and think they’re wonderful, good on them.  Has to be better than being proud of how they’re being invaded or hating on their own history. Heaven knows, it would be better for even the French to find love of country, rather than elect people like Macron. Sure, Napoleon. But if they get another one of those we put him down again. Still better than international socialism.
