Excellent article, thank you. You may be aware there's a book written by a linguistics professor who lived through WWII called Language of the Third Reich (Klemperer). It describes how the Nazis abused language in order to manipulate people, much like malwords. The use of malwords is not something that "normal" people engage in; only sociopaths use malwords.
Beautifully written and clearly nascent. As hard as it is to accept, I can't see how all of this isn't deliberate at this point. Your comparison of Biden to Herod and the return to pre-Christian barbarism is spot on. I believe we are here.
This is a really gorgeous essay. I can’t claim to live up to your description of my own work, but your analysis of the moment, and your summary of Cahn’s important if sometimes vexing The Return of the Gods, are both spot on.
Paganism has absolutely nothing to do with the evil that is in this world, this is just the abrahamic stick to beat pagans with yet again. The evil of this world and the humans that push it have no god or gods, they use what ever they need to push the agenda. The opinion of this rabi is pure spiritual mud slinging with no fact is history at all.
Thank you for this. You may already know Christopher Ferrara's book Liberty: the God that Failed (2012). His theme is, [We love our country but] the U.S. has a foundational problem in being the first deliberately secular nation ever created: a nation whose government acknowledges no authority above itself. "In God we trust," etc., being small niceties. The fruits perhaps are becoming evident.
