"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Dude, where's my country?
Bob Belvedere laments the virtual extinction of the American spirit of fortitude and self-reliance.
I just think that women generally were never as keen on individualism as men are, so the more women have power over nations, the less self-reliant they must become. Women have power (no matter what some people say) both by voting and by controlling ever larger proportions of a nation's wealth: spending, consuming: mass media. Women got equal wages mid 1960s. Coincidentally that's when things took the new turn.
Multiculturism started with gender equality. I noticed this 20 years ago, haven't seen the connection disproved. J.S. Mill - who I am opposed to - was a strong feminist. Some rave about the 'Frankfurt' school, but the horse had already bolted long before that. Mill thought a genderless individualism was possible - he was wrong. There I've said it. Thanks and good night folks.

Thanks, Paco.
ReplyDeleteIt's damn depressing.
For another "badass" story look up Samuel Whittemore.
