I Love Everyone, But We’re All Wrong
I love Russians, Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians, Poles, Georgians, and I probably love every christian soul on earth. What I don’t love is American neo-conservatism, Anglo-Scandianvian Pseudo-moral suicide, German Suicidal Counter-signaling, Eastern European disregard for the commons, and Russian predilection for dishonestyout of the fear of looking weak rather than honest confrontation and compromise . We are all wrong about something. It doesn’t matter who is more wrong than anyone else. The right answer is that the circumpolar people we call ‘christiandom’ range from the utopian australians and canadians, to the idealistic americans, to the pseudo-moral-suicidal scandinavians, to the counter-signaling germans, to the fearful and untrusting eastern europeans, to the nihilistic and paranoid russians, need to regain their confidence and return to the challenge at hand: domesticating the animal man – and to stop lying to themselves and each other.
