"Brexit was a calamity for British liberals because it was a symbolic sundering between themselves and the idealistic fantasy they had told themselves about their brethren on the continent […] The problem is their understanding of Europe and Europeans was always paradoxical bollocks."

All new cars sold in Europe are required to be equipped with speed limiters from this week - and UK models are likely to have them installed too.
As of Sunday 7 July 2024, new vehicles will need to have Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems fitted as standard as part of an EU safety regulation mandate.

Checking in on America... Oh.
This seems to have been written by someone named Tim Wu, "a law professor at Columbia" (?!!?!) who was on the National Economic Council as a special adviser to Biden "for competition and tech policy from 2021 to 2023."
Yikes.

Counter-Currents Radio Podcast No. 595: The Upcoming UK National Election with Mark Collett & Morgoth
112 words / 1:12:32 Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative and Morgoth (Substack, Odysee) were Greg Johnson‘s guests on the first half of Counter-Currents Radio‘s most recent broadcast, where they discussed the upcoming national election in the United Kingdom.…
"Occasionally I subject myself to leftist and centrist YouTubers, people of between 20 and 50 years of age, and I am always staggered by their vacuity. Their thinking is limited and immature and blind, and is never going to take them anywhere respectable, because their lives contain nothing transcendent.
The women have duty but no direction, because the men have no reverence, only vanity. For both sexes, the self is supreme, and it interacts with the world only through buying things and espousing precious abstract “values”. There is no tangible external thing which the men serve, so their beliefs only serve their own vain self-image. What you have is men in a state of arrested development, still with the sensibilities of 15-year-olds when they are 40. Unaware that they should be serving something, they spend their lives drifting in a futile quest for validation. In the meantime, they have infantile notions of society and people and what life is all about, or should be all about, or could be all about. To listen to one of these grown men grappling with moral or political conundra is like listening to a 6-year-old boy talking about his action figures.
Reverence, as an emotion and an approach to life, is unknown to most Westerners today. Should you try to convey its importance to them, you will be met with scoffs, chuckles, baffled looks, and mocking remarks.
The less intelligent among them will recall the comforting promises of democracy and feel genuine outrage at the idea of being “forced” to revere anything, the very idea that someone else — anyone else — can, should or might try to “tell me how to think”. (In fact, they are told what to think every second of their lives, but they haven’t the capacity to realise this, so instead fondly imagine that they come up with it all themselves.)
The more intelligent among them will, deep down, suspect that you might be right, but they will have no idea how or why you would be right. They have no frame of reference. Your suggestion (revere something) even seems to contradict their learning (all is equal), but in any case they have no vocabulary for it, so they cannot even begin to investigate the matter."

From Blasphemy to Hate Speech (VIII. Reverence & Enchantment)
It is worth exploring the more subtle effects caused by the absence in our lives of a law against Christian blasphemy. Of course, any social phenomenon will have a multitude of causes, and it is virtually impossible to quantify the impact of any one cause.…

Schnell could not do that,” Gross adds. Gross, now retired, remembers feeling “totally helpless” at the time.’

I don’t know whether this chap has read H.G. Wells, but the bit he’s missing out is that a Morlock will occasionally take an Eloi.
