Ditch your shrinks, read the Greeks.

This reminds me of that moment Pippin knocked the skeleton down the well in The Fellowship of the Ring. ...will there be drums?

The Carolingian "Renaissance"/era is one of the coolest "ties-it-all-together" threads in history. Foremost of the era, the grandson of CHARLES "THE HAMMER" MARTEL himself (that's the dude who straight up miraculously stopped Islam in its tracks in Tours, France), was none other than Charlemagne. "David" (as some of his cheeky monks would call him) gathered to himself a retinue of nerds that he recruited from all over to re-discover the wisdom of the classical era and the early Church that'd been scattered. He succeeded in getting the Pope properly secured from the harassment of northern Italians. He stood up for Christian communities as no-one had against raiders who took advantage of their meekness and then spread Christianity all through Europe (slowly figuring out that forced conversions were of no use and backing martyr monks instead). In so doing essentially CREATING Europe as a thing. Charlemagne isn't called "the Father of Europe" in early sources for nothing. And he's just one dude among many properly incredible dudes in that era. I don't know if there's a better adventure story, a more impactful little moment in time filled with more crazy characters and moral lessons learned that would come to shape our world today. There were over a thousand years of struggle against Islam and barbarian Europeans still ahead, and Charlemagne's empire didn't last, but that's the moment the West first found its feet and European direction after hundreds of years of total chaos. In desperation, the barbarian Franks had been entrusted with the wildly beleaguered western Christian Roman civilization. Charlemagne made good on that promise, that trust to bring Rome back to the fore. He allowed the West to find its feet again, such that it would remain standing even when all the East would eventually fall to Mohammedans.

>Like horses and hounds. This isn't a nobility country. Like, the most decent example of the American frontiersman that we have is a dude we depict as wandering the woods in rags with a pot on his head. We don't need to pretend to be anything else. We can give the hicks a day.

He's highlighted the other side of immigration a lot more since Rubio's visit❤️

Quite the weighty wager to make against the existence of Natural Law. And imagine the child, growing to discover his mother's icy slope of sibling sacrifices.

Everyone has YouTube playlists like this, right?

I have discovered today that Castro had a personal witchdoctor who fell out of favor with the regime after converting to Christianity. That former witchdoctor apparently self-published an unheralded book about it in Spanish, in Spain, long ago. A translation is now in the works.

To remain a civilization we may remember our founding philosopher-priest and understand those inviolable principles of morality spelled out in plentiful sufficiency by Augustine. Disregarding Natural Law and love in search of pragmatism or victory will doom us. The pagans LOST.

In the West we still refer to "Egypt" by a name derived from Ancient Egyptian—but the official name, the one used by its destroyers and dhimmis, is an Arabic exonym: "The ARAB Republic of MISR" Should we be calling an Arab nation by the name of its murder victim? Arabs don't.

The logic of aborting misshapen children is the exact logic of the Nazi T4 program. Do not let yourself be ignorant of that. Read the Nazi language and justifications. View the real horrors of granting people like those with Down Syndrome, "useless eaters," the "mercy" of death.
