To say that I've been waiting on pins and needles for the past year or so is putting it mildly. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
This fake World Davos Made in which fat is beautiful, sloth is a virtue, and pedophilia the pinnacle of human love, should have you just a teensy bit anxious.
When we look up and see everything beautiful being systematically subverted, cheapened, or just plain vandalized it's hard to maintain your compassion, even if it was warranted.... which it isn't.
Today I come back to write my first public essay in more than a month and we're a couple of days away from arch-Globalist Emmanuel Macron of France getting trounced by both Marine Le Pen and a fractious left-wing coalition.
Heading into this weekend's run-offs it's pretty obvious that Macron's party, En Marche, will be relegated to the ashbin of history. Macron was a fake populist sold to us by Davos nearly a decade ago to blunt the rise of Le Pen then.
And it really doesn't matter this time what political ring-fencing the various commies in France do to freeze out a National Front majority in the French Parliament. The tide has turned against them.
It's not coming back. Just like it has in the UK, the US, the Netherlands, Italy and the rest of the so-called post-Enlightenment West.
That idea right there, "post-Enlightenment," where we began to reject God for modernity and the supremacy of human reason over the vastness of our ignorance about how the Universe worked, is the key to what's happening.
And the minute I began writing about Macron I was hit with the memory of Notre Dame burning.
The library was on fire. And the jackals brayed about how great it was.
This happened on Macron's watch. And he cried crocodile tears for it, as all true Marxist scumbags like him do.
Because they can only have the facsimile of emotions since we all live in a simulation anyway.
At the time I called it a " Symbol of Failing Culture." But it's far more than that. Notre Dame's burning, deliberate or otherwise, was emblematic of how careless our caretakers were about preserving our past.
So obsessed with their pathetic modernity they expropriated nearly all the wealth of France for decades to elevate sloth and neglect beauty while becoming openly hostile to their own history. Their contempt for history was on full display as their rage at religion overwhelmed their basic humanity.
What's worse to me is descendants of those that built Notre Dame cheering this event because they've been inculcated to hate religion of all forms by their Marxist education.
They've been effectively immunized against feeling anything but contempt for themselves and their history.
History is history. It doesn't have an agenda. It exists, for better or worse, to remind us that who we are today is the sum total of who we were then.
Marxists fundamentally believe in creating a man without a history, without connection to his past to mold him into the New Soviet Man.
Argue with me about this all you want Bernie Bros, Corbynites and Richard Wolff acolytes, this is the point of this French post-modernist "life is an absurd simulation" nonsense. It's simply an excuse to justify the inherent envy at the core of all Marxist thought.
It meant something to millions of people, if not billions.
Its burning was truly a moment of them destroying something beautiful even if the fire was an accident.
Notre Dame was a thing to be envied, for sure. A place of stunning beauty and achievement. A thing worth preserving through the centuries. Of course it had to be destroyed.
The contempt of Macron and his history-challenged fellow travelers at anyone not down with the Commintern was on full display back then. Capitalism, Socialism,... Best Price: $2.38 (as of 02:00 UTC - Details)
While they think we shouldn't have histories, they forget that we have memories.
So, there should be zero surprise today about what has happened at the French ballot box.
Macron and Davos will do everything they can to extend and pretend that they are still in control in France. They may even succeed in saving Macron. In doing so they may even destroy what's left of France, sacrificing it on the altar of the European Union, but for what?
A meta-stable alliance held together by the scolding of a bloodless German vampire like Ursula Von der Leyen? How long do you think the French go from Yellow Vests to the guillotine?
Because, last I checked, that's a part of their history Macron is also trying to deny.
