« Les circonstances ne sont difficiles que pour ceux qui reculent devant le tombeau. Je l’implore, le tombeau, comme un bienfait de la Providence, pour n’être plus témoin de l’impunité des forfaits ourdis contre ma patrie. »
Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
Saint-Just’s icy, frenzied prose, half Spartan legislator, half brooding poet. Wow. Fleur told me that Barrès saw him as a sort of precursor to the Romantic age, I see why.
The Right used to mock the Left’s intellectual and cultural degradation into a group of 30+ somethings, whose entire political consciousness was mediated through their favourite movie franchises and whose primary concern was “feeling good and being seen”

I’ve always appreciated Lenin’s understanding of SocDems as inherently more dangerous to his cause than outright reactionaries, by virtue of drawing people away from revolutionary movements & domesticating discontent. Now we must mince conservatives into particles so fine they disperse into the air and are lost to the wind.
These are completely unrelated, but Saint-Just’s speeches and letters, along with Eliade’s journals, have been a breath of fresh air to read recently. I highly recommend them to everybody.
Not going to pretend as if I know the intricacies of what’s going on in Poland, but it is another great example of how feckless the Right is globally and how even the most milquetoast of Leftists are much more ideologically committed and capable of action than even the most hardline Rightoids involved in any politics.
Booked a box two months in advance this year, and I still got fucked with the pricing.

The West allows people to dissent, just to think in their own little boxes, and don’t give a damn. Doesn’t bother to ban books because 40% of the population can’t read them anyway. This is how liberalism rules.
