Interview: Czech Sociologist Petr Hampl | Counter-Currents
Petr Hampl is the executive director of the Czech Society for Civilization Studies, which explores โmajor civilizationsโ building on Samuel Huntington.
"As for Cayla, her abusive husband slaps her on stage. The audience gasps. She slaps him. The audience cheers. She falls for Rumson, so we have a twist on adultery, but the mean husband is soon expelled. Did we mention heโs also a Mormon? A gun-toting, hard-drinking (?), racist, sexist Mormon."

Paint Your Wagon, Paint It PC
The Western dominated pop culture until the 1970s, when it winked out like an aging athlete. Not to be outdone, Lerner and Loewe wrote Paint Your Wagon in 1951.
"The Odinic path is appealing to a certain kind of European, yet it is a risky ideal, especially for a religion. The Ring cycle demonstrates this. There are still higher powers than Wotan, ones that canโt bend to divine whims or mortal action. Siegfried may shatter Wotanโs spear, but he canโt escape his fate. Even if one became a god, there are still forces you can never transcend."

Wagner for the Folkish
Richard Wagner is one of the few composers that still receive mainstream attention in the 21st century, but usually for negative reasons.
"Here we had the detritus of an industrial society โ the rusted-out hulls of 'iron monsters' โ as well as the medieval ghosts of plagues from the past haunting Copperfieldโs river. The disease that came by the water to the city of London in the 1830s was an old one, but its epidemic success required the mass society of the modern age and the great commerce of trade and empire that turned the 'fine fresh' Thames into a 'deadly sewer.'โ

"That seems to be a general rule of Leftism: it most harms those it claims to be most concerned about. However, Leftist narcissists like Marina Hyde arenโt interested in the consequences of their Leftism. Decent people donโt mention black criminality โ except to blame it on Whitey. But decent people do gloat over bestial savagery when it is inflicted on a deserving target. After the Boer nationalist Eugene TerreโBlanche was hacked to death by blacks on his own farm, Marina Hyde and an Iranian comedian called Omid Djalili openly gloated at the news on BBC radio."

Theyโll Laugh If Youโre Chopped Up: The Narcissistic Sadism of White Leftists
As the handsome Greek youth Narcissus gazed into his forest pool, adoring his own reflection, he would have made a perfect target for the Knock-Out Game.
"So hiring Americans might not be so much about love of country, but needing workers who can understand 'cultural and political context' to perform ideological censorship. That much, of course, is a departure from the common industry practice of Third World exploited labor so they can pay the absolute lowest wages possible. Someone from Bangalore might not get what 'small hats' means, realize that a picture of George Floyd holding a banana is highly irreverent, or understand naughty memes."

The Pathetic Lives of Social Media Censors | Counter-Currents
What is it like to be a social media censor? I have no direct knowledge. In fact, I'd prefer to become a male prostitute than do a thing like that.
"Mattel has recently released a list of 419 words that it no longer deems suitable for Scrabble players worldwide.
Itโs no coincidence that these are 419 of the most enjoyable words in the English language."

"The film, based on the novel I Hear Them Sing by Ferdinand Meyer, emphasizes over and over a quiet but no less serious struggle between the communal life of this small town and the stresses and duties it places on the individual."

"10:00 AM. Already at my artisan desk, made from sustainable balsa wood and, although inclined to wobble a bit and sort of snap and shit, still planet-loving. This is not a good start to an organizerโs day! The Vietnamese co-operative who put bamboo lining on the trans safe space have sent an invoice. Funny how capitalism seems to work for everyone but poor countries."

"Doughertyโs family narrative may be somewhat vaporous, but itโs really just a framing device for the real meat of the book. He has very firm ideas about some things. Heโs a believing, practicing Catholic (that should be redundant, but in the Biden era, it seems itโs not). Heโs never managed to become fluent in Irish Gaelic, but heโs a firm believer in making the effort, even though almost no one in Ireland has been fluent for 200 years."

"What is it that causes South American regimes to be so ferocious? Barbarism, cruelty, torture occur anywhere of course. However, South American dictatorships are notable for the suddenness and ferocity of their measures, measures that seem to flare up unexpectedly. Sometimes they seem to flare up out of nowhere and out of all proportion to the strength of the foe they are seeking to crush. It is a short way from comic opera to horror. Pinochet is a case in point."

"Now that Chinese Communism has shed its international scaffolding, such brainwashing is but the icing on the cake of a comprehensive program of enchinoisement. In the old days, success was measured by the ability of the survivors of such schooling to mumble โdialectical materialismโ at the appropriate time and place. Today, the job is not finished until a half-Han baby has been wrought in the womb of a Uyghur woman."

"Iโm not sure what exactly the purpose of doing these public marches is. If they go perfectly, the media ignores them. If they go poorly, they become national news stories. If they go perfectly, they are temporary morale boosts for our side which are forgotten about in a couple of weeks. If they go poorly, they become public relations disasters that haunt you for years. Itโs like flipping a coin: if itโs heads, you get 10 cents, and if it comes up tails, you have to pay $10,000."
