British middle-class mores
1950s: Never say a bad word around children, and if they utter one themselves, correct them
1980s: Never discipline children for any reason whatsoever and their minds will turn out just fine, apparently
2020s: Be terrified of catching an infection while taking your children for a relaxed and liberating gawp at strangers’ genitals

Crucial philosophy from John Waters—mumbo-jumbo is something scientism is as guilty of as the theologians are.

Crucial philosophy from John Waters—mumbo-jumbo is something scientism is as guilty of as the theologians are. https://johnwaters.substack.com/p/christ-haunted
John Waters continues:
“Post-Christian culture, the husk of Christendom, has reduced this word [Christ] to a pietism. Inside the bunker, the thinking of Christians has moved from what appeared to be a prior unambiguous certainty in matters concerning Christianity to a mindset in which Christ has become a kind of fairytale figure, a sentimental idea and a moral policeman.
The increasing divergence between religious belief and sociological reality is lazily deemed to be a function of increasing ‘progress,’ with populations becoming more and more knowing and ‘intelligent.’ But modern-day scepticism is not really a product of the forward march of time, having much more to do with processes whereby the receiver of information in mass-media society is given a little knowledge about everything but never enough in-depth understanding to strengthen the framework by which to perceive how everything is inter-connected.
Thus, the individual feels ‘informed,’ can endlessly regurgitate isolated pieces of knowledge, can even speak assuredly about scientific progress with a general sense that this is somehow debunking the ‘old’ understandings of the world.
What we lack is the over-arching hypothesis that might enable us to integrate this information into a functional understanding of our own situation as mysterious beings held in the mysterious embrace of a total reality beyond our knowing.”

A colleague has asked me why the Arctic Convoys to relieve the wartime USSR didn't use the Bering Strait to avoid the deadly U-boats. Does anyone have reliable information?

Thierry Baudet recently drew attention the original wartime book The Managerial Revolution in the Dutch House of Representatives.
The reason why it’s anti-feminists like him and Aaron M. Renn (article below) who are hot on it is that it’s a cornerstone of the conscious replacement of familial bonds with technocratic pseudo-allegiances.

And don’t miss their Arwelfa at this timestamp. Always preferred it to the similar and much better-known Hyfrydol.

I'm getting e-mails saying "Stuff Covid! Be real journalists and cover the Ukraine!" and others saying "Stuff the war! Be real journalists and cover Covid!"
Actually, UK Column intends to keep covering both, and other news.

From Estonia all the way down to Georgia, there is an Anglo-wannabe intelligentsia that presumes to press our buttons like this.
I hope a few thousand of you will reply to Mr Gerashchenko, and anyone else you come across who speaks in like vein from the lands between Russia and Germany, along these lines:
"No. We are not going to start World War Three for you."

The German Luftwaffe dropped thousands of bombs on London in WWII, killing >30,000 people. The #UK can help to stop destruction of Ukraine and prevent it happening in London again.We appreciate your support. However, we need more heavy weapons to win! @BorisJohnson…
