F·R·I·E·N·D·S: A Work of Truly Bewitching Propaganda
Unlike imagination, fantasy permits one to depart from reality and take refuge in cheap consolations that cannot be found in this world and would destroy our world if they were here.

The tricouleur now seems to represent the empty promises of a failed experiment that has gone on for too long.

Our human links to the Holocaust are breaking, one by one, and there are now few left to share memories about the people they knew, loved, and lost.

A world without Chartres, without Mont Saint-Michel, without Pernand-Vergelesses, without Monet and Matisse, without the oysters of Brittany, the butter of Normandy, and the quenelles of Lyon, and without autumnal strolls through the Luxembourg Gardens, and a spring gallivant up the Boulevard Saint-Germain would be a world of acute poverty.

Throughout human history, hate was not viewed as generally abnormal or anti-social. It was just another emotion that, along with anger, despair or love, had a place in human relationships.

The Lexi character is becoming normal among the young raised in the comforts and choices of late capitalism. They cannot bear even the slightest glitch in the matrix of experience without going to pieces.

The Tories have made it as plain as they can: they will do nothing to stop the boats. And not one of them will entertain hosting an illegal migrant, but they’ll make sure you do.

Let’s rejoice: families can be useful—the government is finally saying so.

NATO has entirely subsidized the defense of Zelensky’s country, even to the point where the U.S. doesn’t have enough artillery shells to defend itself if attacked.

The overt betrayal of the white working-class on the grounds of innate privilege is a contemptible policy. It’s high-time that those in authority put a stop to it.
The actual fallout of the price cap depends in part on the contractual situation between seller and buyer. However, no contract is immune to the forces of the free market.
Germans have become incapable or unwilling to defend our national interests. We no longer secure our own borders—we are too refined for that. We leave it to others, such as Poland and Hungary, and then lecture them when they do it.
The establishment’s cowardice leaves no place for honesty. It is a safe, risk-averse, and timid strategy for those without guiding principles or will to follow them. As Mikhail Bulgakov once wrote, “cowardice is the most terrible of vices.”
The French believe a union of the Rights is highly unlikely in the French political landscape, and perhaps more significantly, they consider coalitions undesirable.
The cold, hard truth embedded in all these numbers is this: going forward, the U.S. Treasury will have to continue to raise interest rates just to keep investors from selling American government debt.
The modern media environment is less and less informing and entertaining, and more and more ‘re-educating.’ It wants us to question and then reject the instincts which have served us well for millennia. It wants us to doubt our own eyes and ears.
The new enclosures and ‘fourth industrial revolution’—with its counterfeit morality, its saccharine pseudo-ethical appeals to inclusivity and saving the planet—may not need a large force, but they do need a disciplined, dependent population.
There was no ‘crash’ of the pound. The big rate increase by the Federal Reserve simply created an irresistible opportunity for investors to make some good money, and do it safely.
For the Italians, there is no ‘fascism’ attached to Giorgia Meloni. Her coalition is centre-right, full stop. On the other side of the Alps, the repeated use of the word ‘fascist’ dispenses with any nuanced analysis; few articles actually look at Meloni’s programme.
It is time to break the unproductive loop between impatience, single-issue rejection of remarkable candidates, and the political status quo. The NatCon Statement of Principles is a first, major step in that direction.
Like radicals in all corners of the world, instead of celebrating a leader and iconic figure, the government chose to make politics of the monarchy which has always stayed above the fray of politics.
A conservative system of benefits protects citizens from destitution, but to succeed, the definition of poverty needs to be overhauled. The Heritage Foundation is moving in this direction, and their ideas could positively impact European welfare policy.
