“Sexual politics have done to literature what Bomber Command did to Dresden’s architecture.” — Taki
I wish to take issue with the old Greek bastard on this one. Bomber Command might have destroyed Dresden’s architecture, but it didn’t emasculate it.

Just Remembered
…that it’s Black History Month.
So here’s a brief summary of Black History in the U.S., as seen by Black Racist Hustlers, Inc.:
Myself, I’d rather commemorate this guy, who did more for race relations in this country than the whole bunch of today’s morons ever did.
Standards? What Are They?
Just think: in my brief lifetime, we have gone from airline passengers looking like this:
…to this:
…even worse, to this:
…and to situations like this:
The airlines don’t want their passengers to travel in their underwear, and they’re the bad guys?
And the prole drift of society continues on its merry way towards the abyss…
Getting Worried
Not me, for a change, but the Modernists certainly are. Note the panic in this piece:
This time around, the traditionalist lunatics have succeeded in taking over the asylum. Reactionary ideas hostile to the cosmopolitan, to Modernism, to modernity itself, are in the ascendant. Tory placemen (and they are generally men) are being appointed to the boards of cultural institutions such as the British Museum and the BBC. The thoroughly middle-class National Trust is under attack as “woke” for exploring colonialism.
I am so pleased that our ideas so hostile to Modernism and all that Le Corbusierian ugliness are starting to alarm the Left.
I also love the fact that the author of this nonsense reveals his bias and prejudices so clearly, such as referring to respected philosopher Sir Roger Scruton as “tweedy” — tweed being the clothing fabric of the hated upper classes, don’t you know — and saying that we conservatives are the lunatics simply for wanting to keep and maintain our heritage (as opposed to “rebuilding better” every generation or so). And gawd forbid that more men are becoming influential in the cultural wars…
Note too that this Lefty asshole is a “a member of the Mayor of London’s Diversity in the Public Realm Commission“. Diversity in the public realm?
Never let it be forgotten that people of his ilk perpetrated crimes against the “public realm” such as the infamous Red Road housing units in Glasgow:
…which were recently demolished, to the relief of everyone including the residents.
A pox on Modernism and all its adherents.
Texas Welcome
Yup, so Noo Yawkers, Californicators, Chicahgans and Massholes are flocking to the southern states:
Now Insty is all over us to make a Welcome Wagon for all these refugees, which is all well and good.
I, however, have a much simpler one:
Quote Of The Day
From Taki:
When the commies blew up my father’s factories following the war—he had shut them down for four years—he came to America and became a shipowner. Little ole me followed a few years later.
The place was paradise for the haves and close to paradise for the have-nots. It now reminds me a bit of immediate postwar Europe.
A place full of violent men seeking retribution, displaced persons complaining of having gotten a raw deal, and opportunist politicians seeking to gain an edge.
And it’s all Thomas Jefferson’s fault.
Sounds about right.
