    I'm rereading Julius Evola's Revolt Against the Modern World. It occurred to me two evenings ago that it is only within radical right or traditionalist circles that one encounters intellectually coherent critiques of Christianity.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Soldiers and Slaves -- http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...ers-and-slaves

    Less than a hundred days before Hitler killed himself, three hundred and fifty American P.O.W.s—most of whom the Germans had identified as, or suspected of being, Jews—were moved from Stalag IX-B to Berga, where, alongside Jews from Auschwitz, they were starved, beaten, and forced to work in appalling conditions before being sent on a death march.

    Have a class this upcoming term on psychopaths and sociopaths, so, I am reading the texts/books early. Nearly finished with "Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us," by Robert Hare. It's actually interesting because it has case studies done by the author spread throughout and doesn't just rehash the old Bundy and Gacy tales. While some of the subjects are in prison studies, many are people who have never been convicted of a crime (even though almost all of them commit crimes).

    It has not addressed it yet, but if I finish the book and find no mention of politicians, I may email my professor and ask about it.

    I read about those death marches! It was so barbaric and inhumane, I could not finish it!

    One of my oldest and dearest friends Jason M. Rubin wrote his first book The Grave and the Gay a tale from the 17th century that is based on English folk ballads, plus a version from the 21 century by Doc Watson (1966) and (1969) by the Fairpoint Convention... really good read so far...
