Seemed to me that Roger Scruton’s analysis of Rene Girard had a major flaw AI agreed:

Never mind Londoners getting beaten/mugged *by* them in 70s/80s when street crime was habitual and “two-tier” policing de facto.

Thee/Thou/Thy/Thine were common usage in Lancashire and Yorkshire pre-enrichment, and remain so among older folk resistant to ebonics.

“Being, in the traditional sense, absolute being, is something I don't have in me. I don't feel it. I feel my emptiness. But the Other always seems to have more of it than I have—unless, of course, the other surrenders to my desire, in which case being flees him very fast and I contaminate him with my nothingness.” — René Girard, CBC
“The object [of desire] is only a means of reaching the mediator. The desire is aimed at the mediator's being.” “All desire is a desire for being.” — René Girard

Liberalism is a sin and those who ascribe to its philosophy are part of a cult of "reason" and "logic".

“Dead end surrogate activities”? most speech/action could qualify as ‘surrogate’ for amply fed creatures.

Combination of global headlines from Munich disaster combined with El Beatle and 1968 European success accounts for status as biggest English club, with highest gates even when relegated in 1974, long before global tv era.

Global fanbase took off with Munich plane crash 1958, furthered by El Beatle Georgie Best in 1960s. Even when relegated to Second Division in 1974 United still had the biggest attendances of any club.

Propensity to violence and conflict aka original sin is apparent in toddlers and not a function of “abstract ideas” however they serve as rationale/justification.

Fornication *is* evil according to Scriptures and Catholic teaching, never mind adultery.

Straight out of George Orwell’s 1984 playbook. The spectre of perpetual war. A population kept permanently frightened. An endless state of emergency in which fear becomes the instrument of political control. How convenient for those who govern us.

An honest ‘student protester’ in France explains why he’s protesting. The question: “Why are you protesting?” He replies: “I don’t know. I’m just here to smash and destroy things.” But they just want a better education, you guys.

EMJ looks forward with hope and confidence to Europe's eventual return to its true form: the Catholic Church. "Remember the prodigal son, this is the prodigal daughter, the eldest daughter of the Church giving up on its revolutionary illusions and coming back to the form." "The form in Europe is the Catholic Church." "The form in Ireland, in Spain, in France is the Catholic Church. There would be no Europe without the Catholic Church!"

A Single Somali immigrant is estimated to cost Finland €951,000 over their lifetime. A native Finn contributes a net €3,400 per year. It takes 280 working Finnish people to offset a single Somali migrants arrival. #Finland #Somalimigrants #Benefitscammers #CloseTheBorders

Wouldn’t be an issue at all if it weren’t for numbers and density. Powell’s objection to mass non-European settlement was logically no different to existing ban on political uniforms or even away fans in pubs on match days. Why should Europe repeat American catastrophe?
