How do you explain the defeatism of the current generation in Europe regarding events like terrorist attacks (saying not all Muslims and the like)? Why does it seem that people on the Left can have the view that traditional European culture has to be deconstructed and changed, while philosophies like Islam, which are the opposite of what liberals believe, are held as sacred?

Europe is like a patient which has been operated upon so many times and so intensively to try and remove the Hitlerian cancer that the surgeons, in their eagerness to take no chances, have removed not only the cancer but most of the vital organs. The patient has no guts left, no heart, no brains, no virility, no legs, no will. The worst thing in what is happening is that we could very well resist, and still win. But we don’t want to. Europe does not want to. The Europeans don’t even want to know what is happening to them. And those who tell them are punished or banished, like birds of ill omen: the perpetual shooting of the messengers.

Becoming King: Why So Few Male Lions Survive to Adulthood

The typical dangers of famine and disease. Being kicked out of the pride at a young age. Having to navigate the world by itself and all its dangers, without being killed. Being hunted after they have gone through all that shit, just to be placed on a pedestal for some imbecile who shot it.

I'll probably watch this documentary some time this month. The article is worth a read, though - if you don't have a good idea of what actually goes on with male lions.

"It took many years for me to understand why Africans behaved this way but I think I can now explain this and other behavior that characterizes Africa. I believe that morality requires abstract thinking—as does planning for the future—and that a relative deficiency in abstract thinking may explain many things that are typically African."

One specialized class after another, afterschool homework classes, political motivated teachers who narrate rather than understand, homework at home assinged by most of the specialzed classes, overhearing, spending time with others of the same age doing homework and talking about homework - the good students after rotten childhood, they graduate in specialized branches and end-up in some mediocre office job and ''they have made it in life'', apperently - a fishnet society.
No time to develop any character at all because all is invested in the homework and useless school classes; no taste, no passions (outside work morale and economic idealism), no historic perspective but that narrated by the teachers in a linear ''progressive'' way of ''ought to be'' as we are today.

A wholly cancer.

Only the first half is worth the reading; the other half is just arrogant borderline bullshit.
