Solid Logic

So, recently Prague was a scene of pro-globalist demonstrations, particularly in the connection with the anniversary of 17 November which has significance in Czech history. And these events produced some cursed imagery…

The above photo features two completely inane statements above an EU, Czech, and Ukrainian flag. The protesters have repeatedly expressed their solidarity with Ukraine. It says on the left:

“No to Russian gas, yes to Green Deal”

And to the right:

“No to rising prices, yes to the Euro“

I wonder which of the renewables are more effective, more energy packed, than Russian gas? If anybody thinks that our movement towards a future powered by renewables would not be costly, I wish him a good luck.

And the same goes for the introduction of the Euro. Any sane shopkeeper is going to drive the price of everything upward with the introduction of a new currency. It is naive to think that imports will somehow become cheaper if the importer pays in Euros.

And above is a phenotypically Czech looking family holding three flags but why is the Czech flag upside down? The Czech flag: 🇨🇿 Actually, in the upper photo it is also displayed in a wrong way, although that could be a camera effect.

Current Thing Olympics

Some people these days really want to use public events and spaces to promote their dorky political ideas. Apparently in Qatar homosexuality is banned. But Westerners think they hold the moral high ground and can virtue signal about it.

This dude packed up two other causes celebrated by the Church of the Current Thing, Ukraine and Iranian women. I am surprised he did not add the Chinese anti-covid protesters, the Tigre rebels, or some other Western media favourite. Well, China ain’t Russia or Iran, and actually has some influence. I guess a memo hasn’t been issued to show support to the protesting Chinese, and besides the point forces out here in the West wouldn’t mind instituting the same measures here. As for Tigre rebels, they lost…

The Ethnonym “Ukrainian” is Allegedly Sounding Like a Slur to Polish People

I have a working knowledge of Polish, and can understand it, especially in written form. But any intricacies of the language are foreign to me.

I don’t know how genuine problem this is but the ethnonym “Ukrainian” has entered circulation rather recently, and it comes from Polish. The first to speak of Ukrainian nation (украинская народность) was the historian Nikolai Kostomarov in an essay titled “Two Russian nationalities.” Where he said there are two branches of Russians, Greater Russians and Ukrainians. This however cannot be considered the first use of the ethnonym Украинец.

The latter was adopted by some circles by the end of the nineteenth century but remained widespread among political activists and intellectuals only. By the outbreak of the First World War and especially towards its end, this identification got more currency. (See my posts here and here and here). I recall Oles’ Buzyna saying that the ethnonym “Ukrainian” was first officially used in the Austro-Hungarian military in 1916, on the orders of Emperor Karl I.

Otherwise it took root in 1920s during Soviet Korenizatsiya…

I Will Never Buy Douglas Murray’s Books

Gonzalo Lira, reads an article written by Douglas Murray for the New York Post, he outs him as a Zelensky regime propagandist…

Murray has several books where he ushers critique at the current state of the West. Here is the problem though, the market seems over saturated with these pop-philosophy titles, and many bring nothing groundbreaking to the table. I really feel like a young girl on Tinder getting the attention from all the simps, and having to choose who am I going to read can really be motivated by many factors. I have recently tapped into Jason Reza Jorjani, the dude seems to have a vast knowledge of ancient mythology, which is what I need. I don’t need Murray’s moaning about Islamic immigration, and western cuckolds, I live among them.

There is also, Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens, which offers an interesting outline of human history. I have also delved in my project into transhumanism, and try to link the latter to ancient mythological ideas. There is better shit out there than Douglas Murray. Who gives a fuck if the West dies, the latter needs to die because we can build something better in its stead.
