The Rage Of The Left

Do you detect a note of hatred and rage in the Left, a constant, hysterical, shrieking chorus of outrage and anger? And at the same time a corresponding and sometimes frustrating lack of aggression in their opponents? Roger Scruton sums up the ethos:

“I think that, in the end, there is something that unites all conservatives, which is that they are pursuing something they love. My view is that the Left is united by hatred, but we are united by love: love of our country, love of institutions, love of the law, love of family, and so on. And what makes us conservatives is the desire to protect those things, and we’re up against people who want to destroy them, and it’s very simple.”

If you're unconvinced, listen to Georg Lukacs, a founder of the Frankfurt School and some would say Western Marxism:

“I saw the revolutionary destruction of society as the one and only solution. A worldwide overturning of values cannot take place without the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones by the revolutionaries.” 

Quite. Charles Williams, the remarkable hermeticist turned Anglo-Catholic, puts it neatly in his novel War in Heaven, as the Satanist Manasseh states, "They build and we destroy."

Keen-eyed observers of the political scene will have noticed that a Leftist Congress has done nothing to build up our country and has, instead, worked its damndest to overthrow a President who was elected on a promise to make America great, to rebuild the nation.

Mark this too, Baphomet is trans.

The Gramsci Beat

Are you sick of people saying "narrative"? As though reality was some kind of fruity little story? If so, you might like this:

"The crucial importance of narrative to the leftist project cannot be overstated. Storytelling—or a form of it in which old themes are mined and twisted—sits at the center of everything the Left does. Leftists are fueled by a belief that in the modern world, it does not so much matter what the facts are, as long as the story is well told. Living in a malevolent, upside-down fantasy world, they would rather heed their hearts than their minds, their impulses than their senses; the gulf between empirical reality and their ideology-infused daydreams regularly shocks and surprises them, even as it discomforts or kills millions who suffer the consequences of their delusions."
