“The mirror always lies”
(Apt lyrics for present age of socio political self destruction: overconfidence in ignorance.)
Man before the mirror checks his camouflage.
Polishes his armor, and the charger in the garage.
Woman before the mirror, appraises her disguise.
Girl become a woman, she tries to fix her eyes.
Men and Women together
Mistake conceit for pride
Ambition for illusion
Dreams for self-delusion
All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the beautiful and the wise
The mirror always lies.

WHY FRANCE IS THE LAST SOVIET UNION IN EUROPE
(And why france is running out of time.)
I have said for twenty years at least that france is as much the enemy of europe as russia. But worse, it is the enemy of the french people. They were bribed into comforts. And now the game is lost.

INDIA
Been looking for this map.
Truth is it’s more of a cline 70-30 both ways, but this helps.

–“Ethnonationalism is a reaction precisely to most of these people NOT being net contributors. NOT “integrating” in any but the most superficial way. NOT showing the slightest amount of gratitude or respect to Britain, but demanding that the very nature of the nation is changed

Sr Fellow Luke Weinhagen on the West:
–“The West is a responsibility engine confused as a freedom engine. It’s an understandable confusion, as responsibility spread a widely as possible across a population facilitates the greatest freedom for that population. But the existence of this confusion enables all manner of exploitation. It’s tragic.”–

Brilliant. True.

Our Sr Fellow Luke Wenhagen at his best:
–“As a population’s capacity for responsibility declines, the activist gains a corresponding increase in their ability to manipulate the “reasonable person test” that is essential to adjudication.
The “reasonable person test” serves as the structural forbearance that allows law, through the responsible officers of the court, the flexibility (judgment) to navigate adjudication and render a decision.
As the “reasonable person test” gets manipulated via activism, reasonable becomes defined “in relation to the narrative” instead of “in relation to responsibility.”–
Brilliant.
