суточные щи - July 8th, 2022

Наша зарубежная церковь докатилась до полного безобразия.

о.Александр, в адрес которого я ругался, но полагал, что он это скорее по недоразумению участвует в организации всяких парадов вечных полков и повязывает георгиевской ленточкой писю, чтобы уесть гомосексуалистов.

Оказывается, вполне себе сотрудничают люди

I have just been informed that the Sodruzhestvo Youth Pilgrimage will be going ahead this year, in a much smaller and shorter format.
Beginning at Kursk, Russia on the 15th July, travelling to Belarus, and then finishing on the 21st July.
They have places for our Russian Orthodox youth, but due to travel restrictions and such short notice, really we would be limited to finding participants who have a Russian passport, or are already in Russia.
Remember that to be eligible, youth should speak and understand Russian, be between 18-25yo, and not married.
I can email you the program if you are interested.
(Send me names or give the youth my contacts.)


Когда я попытался выразить недоумение - с какой это стати молодых неженатых Россия приглашает из-за границы к себе в такое время - набежали типичные интернет-потреоты с пастбищ России за сто рублей.
Странным образом, некоторые из их фейсбучных страничек сообщают, что они живут в Австралии. Хотя поди-проверь. А потом кто -то из этой кодлы настучал и меня же забанили на неделю.


У них нет ни друзей, ни постоянных союзников. У них есть неизменные интересы.

Левачество понемногу просыпается и принимает мои фундаментальные идеи о фордизме.


We are living through a time of radical flattening, as this emerging global system, which I like to call the Machine, rapidly replaces previous ways of being with a new and novel global civilisation. Emerging from the industrial revolution and the dislocations of modernity’s revolutions, this Machine is now engaged in a project of deconstructing both human nature and wild nature, replacing them with a borderless world of etiolated, rational individuals, each of them equal participants in a global marketplace governed by algorithms, profit and dreams of universal oneness.

With the possible exception of the bit about the marketplace, this is also a good description of the project of the political Left. The very notion of a “Left” was birthed with modernity: the term comes from the seating arrangement of the anti-monarchy faction of the French assembly after the revolution. Despite much self-mythologising, leftist ideology has always been primarily a product of urban intellectuals and middle-class radicals pursuing a project of theoretical levelling. This levelling always begins with the destruction of previous lifeways — Mao’s four olds, the Bolshevik project to eliminate the “bourgeois family” (currently being resurrected by some on the contemporary Left), French revolutionary attempts to rationalise the landscape, the current progressive push to “transition” children — but what it ends up doing is clearing the ground for the Machine.

Progressive leftism and global capitalism, far from being antagonistic as some of us once thought, have turned out to be a usefully snug fit. Both are totalising, utopian projects. Both are suspicious of the past, impatient with borders and boundaries, and hostile to religion, “superstition” and the limits on the human individual imposed by nature or culture. Both are in pursuit of a global utopia where, in the dreams of both Lenin and Lennon, the world will live as one.
