@didymus @gol_d_berg @Underscore @PraxisOfEvil did they come out of it the same, though? (no)
there’s a certain uniqueness to the Amerikaner that is under assault, and I feel that it is in danger of loss: a devil-may-care, enterprising, optimistic, can-do, obstinate character that has created some of the most amazing things the world has ever known, and which is being eradicated by this loathsome pustule of corpulent oligarchs as the threat to their power that it is
having that character castrated and stuffed into a box, the light of the West hidden under a bushel until it is extinguished beyond hope of relighting; these are the damnable workings of Globohomo, and mere “survival” doesn’t preserve that thing, which is more important, I feel, than even the people themselves who now embody it (badly)
I don’t want my grandchildren to be selected into neo-Slavic serfdom, to be fatalistic slaves accustomed to a despotic Judeo-Asiatic order they cannot even conceive of the hope of changing, much less escaping; I want better for them than that
