Oh, man, it's great to be alive when buffoonic wizened wizard wannabes do battle with Yalie career girls.

I wrote this piece in great haste, wanting only to make the basic point that the attack on Medieval Christianity, which goes back to Nietzsche and beyond, is fundamentally stupid. The arguments are being repeated by tiresome young men on the Internet and a guru perpetually in search of disciples. What is truly amusing is to see these aspiring anti-Semites sitting at the feet of a Jewish intellectual.

The boys calling themselves “the alternative right” are insignificant in themselves, but the movement they are latching onto is extremely important. Its elements include: the Neopaganism that reemerged in the Renaissance, the nationalism spawned by the French Revolution, the occultism of Madame Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley, the Nordicism of mystical Germans, and the millennialist aspirations that have launched so many mediocre young men into revolutionary communism and Marxism. It is a foul-smelling brew, but in a society that is losing its bearings, such improbable and illogical combinations begin to seem to make sense to unhappy members of the dispossessed majority.

I am going through Russell in spare time. Like most dissertation writers, he has taken on more than he can chew, but it is a serious book of some value. His primary interest, as evinced in the introduction and the first part of the book, is not the Germanization of Christianity per se but in putting forward a sociological interpretation of the interaction between a new religion and its alien converts. Sam Francis was a brilliant man, and he was somewhat interested in Germanic history. Unfortunately, he knew next to nothing about early Christianity except what he had picked up in dubious secondary sources. He firmly believed, for example, that it was the established academic position that Constantine’s conversion was a cynical ploy to attract support from the vast number of Christians within the Empire. This has not been a mainstream view for some time, but it fit Sam’s thesis.

Let us drop the subject of the young and not-so-young Alternatives and move on to the substance of the argument. It may be true that it is a waste of time even to talk about such people, but it is often necessary to clear away the rubbish before laying out the garden. After discussing Russell, I am going to move on to some aspects of Neopaganism.

[Flemeo implying any other male thing is a pussy - look in the mirror, boy. He writes of anyone he dislikes, which is basically anyone who doesn't leave obsequious comments petitioning his wide wisdom beneath his net scribblins, in a vein that might be called portentous near-insult. And then if the near-insulted show up, why, he's all lysol 'n' doilies. I tell you, in a comedy desert, it's ... well ... if not exactly an oasis, at least a scorpion piss puddle.

Fleming, you are a fag to end all fags. Not saying you're not learned in your own little way, but man, you are cunt's cunt.]
