"Human beings are biologically and culturally diverse, and this diversity is worth preserving. Ethnonationalism is the best way of preserving such diversity and promoting peace among nations."
Greg Johnson on Keith Woods' Nationalism

A good example of the liberal reasoning used to defend nationalism today.

Carl Schmitt noted the various “deficiencies and mistakes” which had led to the crisis of parliamentary democracy a century ago: "the dominance of parties, their unprofessional politics of personalities, "the government of amateurs," continuing governmental crises, the purposelessness and banality of parliamentary debate, the declining standard of parliamentary customs, the destructive methods of parliamentary obstruction, the misuse of parliamentary immunities and privileges by a radical opposition which is contemptuous of parliamentarism itself, the undignified daily order of business, the poor attendance in the House."

"It was certainly not Myron's goal to achieve a realism that vies with nature."
Goethe's essay on Myron's Cow. How does one interpret a lost work? The poetic epigrammes so often failed at this. That nature is drawn to it is not enough, the artist had loftier expectations – just as his depictions of athletes were dedications to Zeus the realist nature serves other subjects than base movements, expressions; the cow's lowing which is hardly distinguishable except to the ear of the herder or the calf.
Then too the poet's voice is distinguished from the hand of the sculptor.

You guys may have missed my anti-election memes.

Your race is your very family. Do you know who your great-grandparents were, or anybody before them? Have you inherited any of their traditions? You will not find race in vague genetic categories, but in your own house. Your nation is not a faceless collective and its popular will, but your own extended family.

Perhaps a good test of race and nation would be how well one is able to tell stories of ancestors at least three generations back.

One cannot blame a state for acting in its own self-interest, insofar as one cannot blame a lion for devouring its prey, but the lion which fails to hunt is abominable. One can always blame a man for his spiritual failings since it is a man's duty to hunt his demons as the lion hunts gazelles. The specifics of certain eras and their particular wars are arbitrary before the eternity of spirit, so the unknown soldier needs not feel shame when he looks back to the heroes of old. His heroism is silent and austere in the face of the wars he must fight, the scale of which has broken the level of the Titanic and reached down into the chaotic elemental. His state cannot save him here, and technology certainly cannot save him either. His spirit can only rise to the occasion, hearing the call of his God whose silence is deafening.

To "make a hole in the moon" may be the best explanation for the economic situation and mass immigration. It is an old commonplace meaning to skip town without paying one's creditors. For Bloy the bourgeois experiments with methods to ensure that he will not have to skip town. We are hurled into the heavens.
