Nietzsche is the Karen of philosophy. The whining, the bitching, the moaning, the complaining, the hysterics. Demanding to speak to the manager while believing that there is no manager. Damning the loud and vulgar fellow customers while really longing to be equally animalistic.
Irish media salivating over fact that new Canadian PM has Irish passport due to having Irish grandparents. Sad and pathetic. If a nation can't speak its own language, it's thinking someone else's thoughts, and those thoughts won't be to its benefit, as recent Irish history shows.
Wow, Go Italy! Opposition seething, calling it 'mass control':-)

Anyone who doubts the misery of 19th century Ireland should read De Tocqueville's 'Journey to England and Ireland'. Note also resemblance to Israel/Palestine.
God, how I hate these types. Funny thing is that he tells how he was almost immediately farmed out as a sex slave in "the land of rationality".

I had been toying recently with the idea that National Statehood had been a pyrrhic victory for both the Irish and the Jews, and was gratified today to learn that Arnold Toynbee had reached the same conclusion decades ago.
Up at 6.30. Put on Siegfried's Funeral March to get the blood going. Have to endure a Deliveroo ad first. Thus Western Man.
The pleasure over Varadkar's exit is understandable, but the abyss that dare not speak its name is that every single other Irish politician, from whatever party, is singing from exactly the same hymn sheet. Ireland is a company with a temporary CEO vacancy, nothing more.
I've gone back to utterly pure undiluted Irish Nationalist again. Ireland was fine until 1169, shit since then. That is all.

"[They] seemed to be moved by strange archaic sympathies with the world. Their mood accorded itself with wonderful fineness ...and their ancient Gaelic seemed so full of divine simplicity that I would have liked to turn the prow to the west and row with them for ever."
J. M. Synge at sea with the islanders of Inishmaan. Synge spent extensive periods on the islands from 1898-1901, learning Irish, studying the islanders' life and recording their oral literature.

The Israelis are desperate for people to believe Gaza is nothing but a cage of inhuman savages opposed to "Western values" and that they are doing the world a favour with their slaughter.
Seeing Piers Morgan allow Douglas Murray accuse Norman Finkelstein of being a Holocaust Denier after the latter had left the studio this evening just proves what low life turds both Morgan and Murray are.
Timothy Snyder holds forth. There should be a study of historians who turn Imperial Warmongers as a result of "fame". Snyder, Niall Ferguson, maybe Victor Davis Hanson, Simon Schama perhaps. A new Tacitus is needed. theguardian.com/world/2023/n…
Just seen the Ridley Scott Napoleon film. It is awful, truly shockingly, shitingly awful. Not even so bad, it's good. Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen, in fact. That is all.
