Cunctator, writing in 2011, on the plans to foment a European War
We've reached the stage of Jew-inspired degeneration where violent interventions by "good" countries like the United States, Britain and France can quite easily be arranged, so long as they're intended to promote "democracy" and "human rights", "benefit" persons with differing shades of brown skin, and result in no more than two million civilian casualties.

WWIII, in fact. And like it... more »

Juxtaposed with Blue
Funky philosophers of social complexity, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari wrote a great deal on the schizoid character of contemporary(ish) capitalism.

Or the US Christian fundamentalist right finding their saviour in a womanising, crooked perma-tanned Antichrist. I can go on. These fusions of opposites circulate and slosh around, con... more »

Confrontations Shape Identity
*Joergen Oerstroem Moeller* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] The question is how to get those confrontations right. A strong national identity is good, but a xenophobic backlash is not. Human beings need an identity. Together with self-respect, it forms the core of each individual’s life-explaining and shaping behavior. It is found by comparing themselves with people “on the other side of the hill.” Identity is conducive to depict those other people as enemies or opponents. The search for identity thus sows the seeds of confrontation—even of conflicts among nations. Without s... more »
