I am shocked that a person of such an intellectual pedigree in the worlds of both finance and politics would write a bunch of deranged nonsense.

Edit: such a renaissance man he even solved the historical mystery of Raoul Wallenberg's disappearance!

Roughly the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined, Wrangel is no barren Arctic wasteland. Aside from its Russian military base, the island features the world’s highest density of polar bear dens and Pacific walruses, more than 400 species of plants and 100 species of migratory birds, many endangered. It was home to the world’s last woolly mammoths, prehistoric creatures that survived there until a few thousand years ago. Indications are that what lies underground at Wrangel could be no less valuable, including potentially large quantities of oil, gas and other minerals.

obviously the oil/gas/minerals are the key here but I appreciate the implication that we should seize this island to deprive Russia of valuable polar bear dens and walruses

It sounds like Russia might be a better caretaker of the island than the US could ever be though.

Nobody tell me if the Russians are ruthlessly exploiting the island and murdering all the polar bears for luxury rugs, I want to pretend they're having fun, swimming around and eating walruses.

gently caress walruses though

Of all the campaigns Lee fought in, the one that never seems to get much attention is the Battle of North Anna, where Grant walks into a trap about as perfectly as Marse Robert would have wanted, but he can't spring it because he came down with dysentery and couldn't issue orders while making GBS threads out his guts.

I mean tbf if my daughter got blown up with a car bomb I'd probably think the person who did it was the antichrist too. Problem with Dugin is, he already believed everyone else was the antichrist before that happened.

I’m pretty certain if someone blew up my daughter then had a bunch of liberals singing and dancing on Twitter about how car bombing civilians is cool and good now that it’s white people doing it I’d have very solid reasons to believe my opponents are Antichrist great satans.

It's silly to assert that the agents responsible for assassinating my civilian daughter are the antichrist. Preposterous. Me? What would I do? Though conflicted, to these officers I would thank them for their service.

Back when christianity was still relatively mainstream the prevailing opinion would have been that such people would face judgment for their mortal sins in the afterlife, and if judged necessary go to hell. So hooting and hollaring over bystander innocent deaths would have been somewhat frowned upon, at least to some limited extent.

These days the old religions are dead, sins no longer matter, the deacons of the new religions live on twitter / social media and a combination of nihilism and narcissim is the dominant mentality.

It's only going to get more animalistic from here.

Absolutely. Vengeance is something to get one's teeth into. Sitting in an office listening to someone talking about meditation therapy is for sheep.

eh this is pretty wrong both world wars happened when societies were far more ‘Christian’ and conservative. people just suck and use whatever excuse to kill people over. and a lot of middle eastern terrorism was borne out of conservative reaction to police state fascism. or in response to other religious fanaticism (i.e. israel)

i don't think dugin's views materially changed because of the assassination, he was always a psycho, maybe he's more of one now, who can really say

i will say a hearty gently caress you to the people itt when it happened for continuing to post the picture of dugin in the street reacting to his daughter's murder.

im sure he is and always has been a piece of poo poo but that photo and the glee people seemed to have about posting it was one of those that really hit me with the psychic damage good.

The fun part about having a bunch of societies being christian is when your flavor is different to their flavor so you get to declare heresy or similar and kill everyone to take their lands like in the reformation.
