Life Is Its Own Answer

“I have something to fight for and live for; that makes me a better killer. I’ve got what amounts to a religion, now. It’s learning how to breathe all over again. And how to lie in the sun getting a tan, letting the sun work into you. And how to hear music and how to read a book. What does your civilization offer?”

'—And the Moon Be Still as Bright,' The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury (1950)

These observations describe what made European societies thrive.

LBF, I liked your comment re military revolt at alt-right. I'm picking up a similar vibe down here.

In the Army the cultural marxist drones still get wheeled out for propaganda purposes but scratch the surface and there's a lot of Fascism & Nationalism bubbling underneath.

I think the media recognises this (in broader society) so they've doubled up on propaganda lately but I think this will just increase the intense anger.

(sorry for commenting OT here, just wanted to make sure you got the message)
