LEONARD, WE HARDLY KNEW YE
EWS reflections on;
The Ominous Parallels - The End of Freedom in America by Leonard Peikoff, 1982
Introduction by Ayn Rand
Another Goodwill bookshelf Gold Standard find
1) Self-sacrifice for the group seems defeating when your group is composed of lazy oafs, drugged-out degenerates and idiots.
2) Ayn Rand is consistently ridiculed and makes me want to take a closer philosophical look .
3) No reason to be 'just like Europe' in any way, as in health care for example. We live in America. Millions left there to get here for a reason, not repeat the mistakes. Centuries of kissing royal ass creates that attitude or is it State dependence programs in general?
4) Anti-intellectualism. See it everyday. Hear it everyday. Stupid is celebrated. Dumb and Dumber, The Hangover I, II, III, Homer Simpson, any basketball player, for example. Starting an "I'm Stupid" brand name line of expensive clothing may be a good investment. In Yiddish does MAGA translate to "I'm Stupid"? They sold a lot of those hats. A shrewd businessman may have beaten me to the copyright.
5) For total population control;
a) Debasement is essential.
b) Senseless behavior normalized.
c) Self-loathing and shame ever present.
d) Endless gossip for self-policing.
6) "Man must give up the pagan reliance on reason and turn for truth to revelation - which is the virtue in faith." Ah, that Augustine, what a joker.
7) Christianity espouses one to despise his own person, mind and body yet love his neighbor as himself.
8) Adolph Hitler was Germany's Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It's all socialism.
9) TERROR - FEAR - OBEDIENCE
10) Weimar Republic II/Amalek/USA - after a long run is about to close. What is waiting on the other side for the individual? Camps, injections, famine and war. To be left alone can't be expected.
