CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is the from the Asterix comics. Asterix is a Gaul warrior from the last village to not be conquered by the Romans. Issued in 2017, the villain's name is Coronavirus. It turns out that the mysterious Coronavirus is actually Julius Caesar in a plot to finally achieve globalist dominion (by conquering the last village.) In the same way the coronavirus is a means for cybernetic experimentation for global technocratic dominion. Thus is the predictive nature of art.

Good lord, not this crap. Ya, know, I thought Id break my Lenten fast since I'm bored as heck. My mistake of logging back on. Our COVID ward is slowly filling up, and by the end of this week, we will probably have our first death here. Yeah 10 beds for 50,000 veteran patients, 40% are over the age of 60. Good luck everyone, I though TAW would give me a little sanity but I was wrong.

Well, good sir, now that Ralph "Child murderer" Northram is imposing lock-down for the purpose of imposing cult-like isolation in order process the people of Virginia as a mass initiation ritual, what else can you do except embrace the madness imposed by the authorities and with a smile go out into the world.
You've got to learn how to stop worrying and love the bomb.

Pulchrum est paucorum hominum.
"An explanation is needed only at the point where, in my desperation to escape the machine, I said that I preferred an already fully dehumanized zone to that beauty-smitten thing that resisted the relentless march of progress with the leftover wreckage of humankind. The anti-thesis, now broken open by the war, was resolved in later aphorisms in favor of precisely the latter life-form, as the one with a yearning for life and for form, which, on account of just such a yearning, and of self-preservative instinct as well, was obliged to undertake emergency defense against the tyranny of valueless utility, according to which life is finished products and culture trappings...
Faced with the imperfection of life, he affirms the substitute for life; faced with half-individuals, he affirms the patented system for avoiding personalities entirely. The person who helps himself to the machine is rewarded to the same extent that the people who help the machine are impoverished. Because the latter doesn't liberate a person but makes him its slave, it brings him not to himself but under artillery fire...
The phrase "beauty mongers from Paris to Palermo" may now apply to that horde of educated Huns who bear the blame for transforming the values of life into tourist attractions. The thinking here about language and human beings is more akin to the type who can laze around in the sun, wallowing in deeper aimlessness, than to the insufferable conqueror of a place in the sun, with whose way of thinking it was of course keeping to ornamentally dishonor a more colorful existence and thereby beautify its own downfall. In that consecrated state of mind, which desires "basalt-free" orderliness and utility truly only for the higher purpose of tending to the castles and marvels of the soul without being disturbed, I had no choice but to prefer the company of commercial scum like that, because they provided the best instruments for securing respite from a noisy world in which, only because they were no longer human beings, they themselves could no longer disturb me. The other did, however, because they were half-human." - Karl Kraus, Between Two Strains of Life (1917)
