Whether you despised the presidency of Donald Trump, or despise the current presidency of Uncle Joe Biden, you’ll no doubt love this quote, since it confirms your own unexamined biases and of course only applies to your political opponents. Kinda reminds The Infidel of that wacky 2006 movie Idiocracy:
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
—H. L. Mencken (1880-1956)

In 1974 when Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was officially exiled from the Soviet Union, he released an essay that has since spread world-wide and become very well known entitled LIVE NOT BY LIES. Throughout all of history people, institutions, and governments with the slightest bit of power in their society have shown they will lie to the general population any time it serves their purpose. Remember, the first impulse of power is to retain power. Continuing the never-ending job of exposing the real purveyors of “disinformation” noted in REBEL ALLIANCE TRANSMISSION DATE 2022-02-06, here is another short required-viewing video to disturb you: LYING LIARS WILL ALWAYS LIE

“Taking the red pill” and declining the blue pill has become an over-used meme over the past couple decades, due to the enormous popularity of the 1999 movie The Matrix. It does represent a real-world situation though; you might even say a conversion that many people go through when they finally wake up (which is very different from being “woke”) and see reality—politically, socially, culturally—for what it really is. If you’re not afraid to visit the less-inhabited corners of the Internet and YouTube (and the Infidel encourages you to), you’re also aware of the dreaded Black Pill. And now the Infidel presents to you the White Pill.
When someone describes himself as an anarchist, many if not most people have an immediate reaction of “Oh, so there shouldn’t be any laws? Then the law of the jungle would rule and how would that work out for you?” Well, no, not really; you won’t find too many humans on planet Earth that really believe there shouldn’t be any laws.
Michael Malice is a self-described anarchist that articulates his thoughts and beliefs very well and is fairly well-known online. He is obviously well-read and well-informed on both the historical debates and arguments over political systems, and on current events that reflect those past historical debates. He recently appeared on the Jimmy Dore podcast, and people of planet Earth, the Infidel highly recommends watching the whole 50 minutes on YOUTUBE or, if YouTube removes it, on RUMBLE. Earthlings, you need to recognize and see beyond the extreme division intentionally being pushed by governments and mainstream media that want you to think if only the Democrats, or the Republicans, or left-wingers, or right-wingers, or [insert whatever you want here] had more power and control in Washington D.C., things would be a lot better. Go read Michael Malice’s great new book, THE WHITE PILL.

Well, everyone else and their brother, and their cousin, has commented about Will Smith and the Oscars debacle, so The Infidel may as well wade in. But since it’s all been said already, I’ll link to two online comments that said it all quite well.
The Infidel is not on any so-called “social media.” (Which is a misnomer; it should be referred to as “anti-social media.”) I do not follow Hollywood celebrity culture, but being a widely-read and well-informed individual, I was aware of Jada Pinkett Smith’s “entanglement,” as she called it, with some guy young enough to be her son, and her insane choice to drag her husband into the national spotlight and broadcast it to the world. Whether she gave it any serious thought or not is another matter, but she must have known on some level that it would be embarrassing, demeaning, and emasculating to Will. From the moment I saw the Oscars video online, I knew it was not about any real anger towards Chris Rock, but Will Smith’s surpressed rage finally boiling over until he lost control in a very public situation and did something that only a high school kid could think would show the world he was “a real man.” He was finally displaying his rage at his wife, at his inability to express that rage to her (or anyone else), and at himself for being such a simp/wimp/cuck. And to the few who defended Smith because he was just “defending his wife,” The Infidel wouldn’t waste his breath arguing with them; they are simply delusional. Like Will Smith.
This guy who goes by “huMAN” on YouTube has been posting commentary since 2016, and The Infidel has appreciated and agreed with many, many of his videos. He got directly to the heart of the Will Smith matter in THIS VIDEO.
Here is another rational, very perceptive COMMENT FROM CANDACE OWENS on the real problems in relationships and American society exposed by the Oscars incident.

On Feb. 7, 2022, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin that outlined what any rational person could only characterize as their agenda to fight “thought crimes.” It states:
“The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM).”
Yeah right, because U.S. citizens openly disagreeing with government policies online are far more dangerous to national security than someone flying a passenger jet into a tall building. They must be serious because they even have an acronym for it now—MDM. Probably monitoring InfidelNotions.com too.

How is it possible for politicians of either party to say with a straight face that a multitrillion dollar federal spending bill “costs zero dollars”? How do they claim that tax cuts “pay for themselves”? The total national debt of the United States is now over $30 trillion, which no human can realistically even imagine in their mind.
There’s this federal agency called the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), created in 1974 in an attempt to “...establish new procedures and processes to force more transparency and discipline into the federal budget process.” When created, it was “...charged with evaluating the budgetary and economic impact of legislation before Congress and providing a consensus cost estimate that could be trusted by both parties.” By all accounts it does a decent job, but those wiley ol’ politicians who ride into D.C. on donkeys and elephants have developed all manner of strategies and work-arounds to game the system.
“This budgetary sleight of hand is how presidents and Congress have repeatedly passed laws that turned out to be much more expensive than advertised. President George W. Bush gamed the CBO scoring process to pass his 2001 tax bill and create Medicare Advantage in 2003. President Obama did it to pass his Affordable Care Act in 2010. President Trump did it to pass his 2017 tax bill.
....
“One of the main reasons Senator Joe Manchin cited for rejecting President Biden’s Build Back Better (BBB) bill was its reliance on ‘shell games and budget gimmicks’ that he said were making it appear half as expensive as it really was.”
The Infidel is a complete pessimist on government bugetary matters and the national debt. The madness will NEVER STOP. Even though legitimate, good organizations like the COMMITTEE FOR A RESPONSIBLE FEDERAL BUDGET do all they can to raise public awareness and nudge congress toward sanity.

Over twenty-five years ago an article entitled LOVING YOUR COUNTRY AND HATING YOUR GOVERNMENT by Jacob Hornberger appeared in a small monthly publication called Future of Freedom. Hornberger is the founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation, a libertarian organization that promotes individual liberty, free markets, private property, and limited government. The Infidel recently read this article again, and found that it is even more relevant today than it was twenty-five years ago.

MEOW Reality has moved so far beyond parody that The Infidel can no longer find any words in the English language to say when confronted with alien logic from another universe. If you are crazy enough, you will someday rule the world, because normal people just want to live their lives in peace, but crazy people will go to any extreme to rule over normal people. This really sounds like a Monty Python skit, but this is happening at a real university in England:
Lecturers at a leading university are being given guidance on neopronouns, which include emoji labels and catgender, where someone identifies as a feline. The University of Bristol has provided guidance for its staff on “using pronouns at work,” urging them to declare in verbal introductions and e-mail signatures whether they use he/him, she/her or they/them, to support transgender students.
But unlike myriad pronoun manuals on other campuses, Bristol lecturers are also directed to neopronouns which include “emojiself pronouns,” where colourful digital icons commonplace on social media are used to represent gender in written and spoken conversation....
Another section explains how noun-self pronouns are used by “xenic” individuals whose gender does not fit within “the Western human binary of gender alignments.” The webpage adds: “For example, someone who is catgender may use nya/nyan pronouns.”
Catgender, it says, is someone who “strongly identifies” with cats or other felines and those who “may experience delusions relating to being a cat or other feline.” The word nyan is Japanese for “meow.”

This story is a repeat of many other similar ones over the past couple decades in the history of the long slide to totalitarianism. It’s been many years now since a time when you could freely express an opinion contrary to the liberal hive-mind’s groupthink orthodoxy in universities or large corporations. The First Amendment, free speech and open debate are the left’s kryptonite.
What makes this story a little unusual is that the protagonist, Jennifer Sey, decided to go public with her story rather than accept a million dollar severance package. She knew she would have to sign a nondisclosure agreement that would prevent her from speaking about her experiences and exit from the Levi Strauss company. Instead, she resigned and published her story on Bari Weiss’ Substack newsletter The Free Press. (Bari Weiss is herself well-known for leaving her position with the New York Times in 2020 over similar concerns.)
Here is Jennifer Sey’s PERSONAL STORY, and a news article from MSNBC about HER DEPARTURE from Levi Strauss & Co.

It’s been almost 250 years since King George made the mistake of taxing tea in the Colonies, and look where it got him. But like that old French saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Or like Pete Townshend and The Who said, meet the new boss, same as the old boss. So we replaced a monarchy with a nanny state.
In 48 states you pull into a gas station, get out, pump your gas and pay, and drive off. But in 2 states—New Jersey and Oregon—by law a gas station attendant has to pump your gas for you. Because, you know it’s really dangerous and requires a lot of skill and extensive training. And Big Brother can’t allow you to do such things for yourself. This is the kind of craziness that eventually turns left-wing socialists into anti-government libertarians. But there’s hope:

The Infidel is not sure Oregon should go down this slippery slope. What’s next? For sure some radical state senator will introduce a bill to allow Oregonians to cross the street by themselves.

Twenty years ago Bill Maher hosted a popular television program called Politically Incorrect, which has turned out to be quite prescient given the past two decades of ever-increasing polarization in American politics and society.
Maher is one of several well-known people in the public eye who used to be considered as reliably on the left side of the political spectrum, but today are attacked by their comrades for abandoning their principles and grifting for the right. The Infidel finds it rather humorous how many of these people have been moved to publicly explain the same thing—that they haven’t changed or moved to the right, it’s the left that has changed and been taken over by their fringe elements. (Since The Infidel is an equal-opportunity offender, let us stipulate that it appears the right has also been taken over by their fringe elements.)

The Infidel has long been of the opinion that Thomas Sowell is one of the smartest people in the United States. Reading several of his many books should convince you of that too. This SHORT VIDEO is a talk he gave, an overview of the ideas in his book THE QUEST FOR COSMIC JUSTICE. How do “traditional” justice and “cosmic” justice (or, “social” justice) differ? How is it that social engineers playing God get “equality” and “equity” so confused?

The Infidel expects all the wide-spread hypocrisy from politicians, no matter which party they belong to. But this kind of brazen, open, partisan, corrupt money-grubbing collusion between Big Government and Big Pharma is beyond the pale. Anyone who reads/listens/watches the news from somewhere other than the alphabet networks (and from sources outside the U.S.) must by now have serious questions about the changing narratives from the CDC and Lord Fauci on the efficacy of vaccines/masks/lockdowns. And this has nothing to do with whether you are personally pro- or anti-vaccine. Why the absolutely insane push to force EVERYONE to take the jab, as they say in Australia? Now it’s even children under six. You would almost think that someone must be making money off the vaccines, huh?
Well, yeah. As a wise man once said, “Follow the MONEY.”

“The battle is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. We have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat, but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged; their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat...let it come!
“It is in vain to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

This is getting to be fun. The Infidel never thought those Canadian wussies up north had it in them. “Freedom Convoy 2022” started as a large group of truckers protesting the new Canadian vaccination requirements for cross-border travel. The convoy started from the west coast of Canada with many Canadians cheering them along the way. It ballooned to thousands of trucks, and after about 3,000 miles reached Ottawa, the Canadian capital. Now Joe Rogan is under SIEGE, Twitter is burning UP, GoFundMe tried to steal $9 MILLION from supporters of the truckers, Reddit forums are overflowing with COMMENTS, funny MEMES are proliferating like rabbits, websites are selling “The Great Honkening” T-SHIRTS, truck convoys are spreading around the WORLD, and now a Canadian judge has ordered the truckers to STOP HONKING!

Sonia Sotomayor, a Supreme Court Justice who sits in judgment on issues of extreme importance that impact all Americans, publicly displayed her profound ignorance. Is it any wonder she voted to uphold Uncle Joe’s mandates? (But thankfully was out-voted.) The Infidel thinks that deep in her addled brain, she actually really honestly truly definitely believes there are 100,000 children in hospitals with Covid, rather than less than 5,000. The bubble she lives in only has two TV channels, the left-wing Marxist megaphones CNN and MSNBC, and two newspapers, the Democrat party rags the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Proving that the right can be just as stupid as the left, a school board in McMinn County, Tennessee, recently voted to ban a book which had been part of their eighth-grade curriculum. It seems to The Infidel that school boards of all political persuasions, whether in the much-publicized Loudoun County, Virginia, or in McMinn County, Tennessee, are just a little too enamored with their tiny bit of power to influence their tiny bit of reality. And in this case, they are extremely poor judges of literary quality or acceptability for teenagers.
When Maus, by Art Spiegelman, came out about 30 years ago, The Infidel bought the hardcover, 2-volume slipcased edition and read it right away. Maus is a really great, and truly unique book that tells the terrible story of the author’s family in Nazi death camps during the Holocaust in World War II. It also tells of the suicide years later of Spiegelman’s mother. It won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992.
The Infidel recognized at the time Spiegelman’s brilliant insight in choosing to tell such an overwhelming, unimaginable story in the only way he could come to terms with it: in cartoon form as a graphic novel. In Maus, Jews are drawn as mice and Nazis are predator cats. The graphic novel form makes it quite effective and moving, and more accessible for younger readers.
The publicity over the banning, as always happens, caused Maus to immediately sell out and hit the best-seller lists a second time after 30 years. Read some of the REVIEWS ON AMAZON or anywhere else and get on the waiting list for a copy from the next printing whenever it’s back in stock.

If you actually read various sources on the Internet, rather than just watch a half hour of nightly news from one of the alphabet networks, you would know by now that natural immunity is significantly more protective than getting vaccinated. Natural immunity meaning that you caught the Covid virus and recovered. You’d also know that Rachel “Mad Cow” Maddow, like a lot of the alphabet networks talking heads, will openly lie without hesitation. On March 29, 2021, the Mad Cow screeched and screamed, swearing that the vaccine absolutely immunizes you from catching the virus and “stops the virus completely,” preventing further transmission. An outright lie, but they will never admit they were wrong.
A few months later, the Mad Cow and many others tried mightily to spread fake news about Oklahoma hospitals being overrun with patients overdosing on Ivermectin, the so-called “horse medicine” that the alphabet networks loved to ridicule. That fake story was just that—fake. But there were no apologies, because they will never admit they were wrong.
There’s Lord Fauci science, and then there’s real science. Here’s some real science:
Johns Hopkins Doctor Criticizes Vaccine Mandates, Stresses NATURAL IMMUNITY
CDC Study: Natural Immunity Provides Significantly More Protection Against Covid Than VACCINATION
Some hospitals have already fired nurses and other staff for refusing the vaccination. Just recently though, due to severe staff shortages, there are reports that some of those same hospitals are begging their nurses and staff who are sick with Covid to come in to work even when sick! Shouldn’t they be forced to hire back the fired ones who acquired natural immunity through an infection/recovery? That won’t happen, because they will never admit they were wrong.

“It’s Time For Us To Do What We Have Been Doing”

The Infidel is struck with the similarity of Vice-President Kamala Harris to the late great baseball manager CASEY STENGEL. Casey was famous for his rambling discourses with reporters and his inventive usage of language that became known as “Stengelese.” For example: “There comes a time in every man’s life and I’ve had plenty of them,” or, “I heard it couldn’t be done, but it don’t always work.”
Kamala Harris was asked by an NBC reporter whether it might be time for the administration to change strategies in coping with the Current Troubles. Her actual reply:
“It’s time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down....”
And she rambled on, but you get the picture. On another occasion a reporter asked about the current high rate of inflation. Her actual reply:
“We have to address the fact that we have got to deal with the fact that folks are paying for gas, paying for groceries, and are — need solutions to it. So let’s talk about that. Short-term solution includes what we need to do around the supply chain, right? So, we went to the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Savannah, Georgia, and said, ‘Hey, guys, no more five days a week, eight hours a day; 24/7, let’s move the products because people need their product — they need what they need.’ ”

On January 11, 2022, during a speech in Georgia urging the passage of the voting bill Democrats are currently trying to pass, President Joe “Uncle Joe” Biden, as usual attempting to demonize all opposition, said:

Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide. To defend our elections. To defend our democracy.”
QUESTION: What do George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis have in common with Joe Biden?
ANSWER: They were all Democrats.
The Infidel was immediately reminded of a great book, and a documentary film made from the book that he saw years ago: American History In Black and White. Among other topics on Black history, it goes into detail about the long history of Blacks in the Republican Party all the way back to Abraham Lincoln. A history modern Democrats don’t want to acknowledge and don’t want you, the general public, to even know about. Should be required reading/viewing in every American high school.

Before Gutenberg it must have been easy to be a hypocrite. Those in power could always claim they didn’t say that. Then came books—a permanent record (which is why at various times they have been burned). Then came daily newspapers, then television, then the Internet, where nothing you say or do that’s recorded or filmed ever disappears, despite the best efforts of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google to whitewash over anything they disagree with. The powerful still have the advantage of the public’s extremely short memory, but now anyone can do ten minutes of “research” on the Internet and find sound bites or video clips of everything anyone in the public eye has ever said publicly.
One of the most egregious hypocrites in recent memory is Lord Fauci. It’s irrelevant whether you are pro- or anti-vaccine, pro- or anti-mask, pro- or anti-mandates. If you examine the record honestly, you’ll conclude that the dude is untrustworthy, a liar, and a hypocrite. The Hill’s Kim Iversen has the right take on this:

“Authoritarianism in religion and science, let alone politics, is becoming increasingly accepted, not particularly because so many people explicitly believe in it but because they feel themselves individually powerless and anxious. So what else can one do...except follow the mass political leader...or follow the authority of customs, public opinion, and social expectations?”

David Webb is a journalist, columnist, Fox TV host, and hosts The David Webb Show that airs on SiriusXM radio. With tongue firmly in cheek, he recently said on Twitter: “Can’t believe we don’t have world peace after changing the name on pancake boxes and syrup bottles.” Here’s what he was referring to, the before & after of the great rebranding:
The Infidel is sure glad we got that fixed. World peace is just around the corner.

The U.S. Military has been in a serious decline for decades now. You can decide for yourself the ideologies mostly responsible for jellyfication of the spines of most generals and admirals. There are hundreds and hundreds of stories The Infidel could point you to. Here’s a couple:
Fired for Daring to Tell the Truth
Space Force Commander Removed After Saying Marxism Is INFILTRATING THE MILITARY.
The commander that was removed actually wrote a book detailing his warnings, which The Infidel immediately bought upon hearing about it. If Amazon hasn’t removed it yet, you can check it out here:
IRRESISTIBLE REVOLUTION: Marxism's Goal of Conquest
and the Unmaking of the American Military
by Matthew Lohmeier
Lowering the Standards
The problem of lowering standards to make it appear that the liberal fantasy of equality is actually true and that women can do anything a man can (no, they can’t) has been around since the late ’60s or early ’70s, and it’s gotten much, much worse since then:
And a follow-up article a week later:Air Force Pushed Woman Through Elite Commando Training AFTER SHE QUIT

And to sink you further into depression because Western civilization is doomed and there’s no hope, observe what kind of people Russia, the U.S., China, and Britain try to appeal to when recruiting for their military:

For the record, The Infidel is not against wearing masks, though as any informed person knows, the type of mask that 99% of the American public wears is useless against the Covid-19 virus. Depending on which dark corner of the Internet you peruse, you will read that widespread mask wearing decreases virus infection rates among the general population 0.1%, or 1%-2%, or 5%-10%, or in the really dark corners of the Internet inhabited by those who drank the kool-aid long ago, as much as 30%.
What The Infidel is against is just the insane rabid mad dog attitude of the uninformed woke left that everyone should be wearing a mask 24 hours a day, and the Karens that try to publicly enforce their mask-laws on everyone. As many others have remarked, wearing a mask in public has become the left’s MAGA hat. Here in the Free State of Florida, The Infidel has many times seen someone out on a nice day in the fresh air walking their dog on a shady street, no other human within a hundred yards, but they’re wearing a mask! And worse, The Infidel has seen people riding their bikes wearing a mask! (There are reasons why “Florida Man” long ago became a meme much derided on the Internet.)
In March 2020, Lord Fauci said we don’t need to be WEARING MASKS.
But today? Well, “It Doesn’t Have To MAKE SENSE.”

Stephen Breyer, acknowledged by everyone as part of the liberal wing of the Supreme Court, has announced his retirement to take effect in July if his successor has been confirmed. Obviously, all of the Washington D.C. establishment is terrified that Republicans will take over the House and possibly the Senate in the upcoming elections in November, making it impossible to get their choice of a radical constitution-hating liberal confirmed to the Court. You better believe Breyer was heavily pressured to retire with enough time left before November to confirm his replacement. They didn’t want another Ruth Bader Ginsburg scenario.
Back in February 2020 at a debate in South Carolina, then-Presidential candidate Joe “Uncle Joe” Biden pledged that if elected he would nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court. The Infidel says that’s the very definition of racism and sexism. There are many (too many) liberal, far-left, experienced judges sitting in the various Circuit Courts that “Uncle Joe” could nominate and a Democrat-controlled Senate would quickly confirm. But there’s a problem—they’re either white, or male. Doesn’t matter, because racism and sexism on the left is OK, it’s just racism and sexism on the evil right that’s the problem.
Benny Johnson noted recently on Twitter: “Hate to break it to you but the only black person serving on the Supreme Court today was personally attacked, defamed and slandered by Joe Biden before he voted AGAINST him.”
And he’s correct of course. Unfortunately for Black Americans, ideology trumps race for the left, so in October 1991 Biden (then a Senator from Delaware) voted against confirming Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. As a wise man has said many times, my, how times have changed.

There are lots of really good channels on YouTube, but Jonna Jinton’s has become one of The Infidel’s favorites. She lives with her husband Johan and dog Nanook in northern Sweden and makes artistic, beautiful, relaxing, contemplative, inspiring videos. Whether views of the northern lights over the forested mountains surrounding her, ice baths in a frozen lake, or melodious ancient Swedish herding call songs, they are always worth watching. One of her first videos to go viral, in March 2018, was a funny 45-second one: “SPRING IN SWEDEN.”
There are too many YouTube channels hosted by reality show wannabes who just carry around a camera and document their uninteresting lives, but Jonna’s is not one of those. The deep forest environment she lives in, the stunning scenery around her home and her excellent photographic and video editing skills put her far above most of the others. This type of personal life channel is generally not the type that The Infidel would be interested in—they can too easily slide into boring soap opera. But Jonna’s narration of her beautiful videos convey a deep appreciation of her natural surroundings and an innate joy of life and awe at the proverbial wonders of the universe that is delightfully calming. This short 2-minute video would be a good introduction: “WINTER’S LULLABY.” Or this 18-minute one: “PARALYZED BY THE MOUNTAINS.” Or this 24-minute one: “IN THE LAND OF THE GODS.” Or try a few minutes of a unique 2-hour video: “SINGING ICE.” Her channel’s home page: JONNA JINTON.

The Infidel grows weary of hearing both the left and right, both Democrats and Republicans exaggerate claims of the disaster awaiting civilization if we continue down the road their opponents would lead us. The Infidel has of course also been accused of this exaggeration. The impulse of the screaming meanies on the extremes of both sides to leap to a comparison of their ideological opponents to “Nazis” grows tiresome. However, this is not to say we should be unconcerned about how easy it appears to be, given the right circumstances, for demagogues to lead the masses astray. Remember Henry David Thoreau’s assertion (revelation?) in Walden that “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
The careful, deep study of history can be an enlightening experience for anyone with an open and curious mind. If you really want a little insight into how millions of average “good” people can turn into Nazis, The Infidel recommends reading the well-known HANNAH ARENDT and these two not-as-well-known authors, among many others:
They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45

The period of history around the American Revolution is endlessly fascinating. And no, there aren’t already too many books about it. So there is a new book on the Revolution by Joseph J. Ellis, THE CAUSE: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND IT’S DISCONTENTS, 1773-1783. Ellis has an actual “fresh take” on the thinking of, and the influences on, those involved. From the book’s dust jacket:
Countering popular histories that romanticize the “Spirit of ’76,” Ellis demonstrates that the rebels fought under the mantle of “The Cause,” a mutable, conveniently ambiguous principle that afforded an umbrella under which different, and often conflicting, convictions and goals could coexist. Neither an American nation nor a viable government existed at the end of the war. In fact, one revolutionary legacy regarded the creation of such a nation, or any robust expression of government power, as the ultimate betrayal of The Cause. This legacy alone rendered any effective response to the twin tragedies of the founding—slavery and the Native American dilemma—problematic at best.

Somewhere in the misty past The Infidel remembers reading a phrase, something to the effect of “....wherever I go, I find the poets have already been there....” The Infidel can’t remember whether that was referring to the study of philosophy or psychology or sociology, literature or film studies, but the phrase stuck. Many great poets have been way ahead of their time. William Blake comes to mind, and perhaps also T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. Our Current Troubles constantly remind The Infidel of Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962), whose poetry many thought of as quite pessimistic. The Infidel prefers the term “realistic.” If you didn’t know better you would think Jeffers was alive today and alluding specifically to today’s modern disfunctional political climate:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

So, She Of The Hyphenated Last Name went to Florida, Land of the Free, so she could enjoy some vacation time mask-free. Someone on Twitter posted a picture and called her out on her hypocrisy, and also made fun of her boyfriend’s sandals. She responded with the most bizarre, nonsensical, narcissistic reaction The Infidel has seen in many moons:
“If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet. Ya creepy weirdos.”
(You can see her tweet HERE if it hasn’t been deleted yet.)
Wow. Just WOW. In her dreams maybe. Would someone please tell She Of The Hyphenated Last Name it would probably be best to keep her sexual fantasies private. You post something on the Internet, it’s forever; your kids will see it someday. Trust me, WE DON’T WANT TO DATE YOU.
