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.

One of the most troubling thoughts I often have is whether ours will have been the last generation to sing like this.

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…

Before I went to Plymouth, one of you asked what happens to money given to Alternative View nowadays.
I had a chance to ask Brian Gerrish about this during my stay, and he told me that things are still crystallising because Ian Crane's daughter has now returned from Australia and is going to be involved in running AV from now on, but the details are not yet confirmed. (Brian, too, will be involved, as agreed with Ian before his decease.)

Patriotic Alternative South West flew a message to the Etihad Stadium during the Man City vs Liverpool match yesterday which read “British to be a minority by 2066”
The "White British" are already a minority in many towns and cities in the UK, including our capital city, London.
Oxford Professor of Demographics, David Coleman, concludes that we are due to reach minority status in the UK by 2066, or sooner.
Will you help prevent your children and grandchildren becoming an indigenous minority people in the future?
At Patriotic Alternative we believe that every people of the world deserve a homeland... including the British!
