As I was typing this pie...Funny how the mind works. As I was typing this piece above I kept thinking of Gustav as well. Both saturated in the mind-set of Romanticism, and one is a composer whose works charm and delight; the other a psychopatic killer who dreams of some Wagnerian cartoon world of the mind with himself as superhero.<BR/><BR/>And that's the best Mahler jr. can do. Those who fail to rise to their own expectations, they are the ones who become embittered and violent, I think. Smart enough to know he doesn't have the imagination or talent of Gustav, Jr. decides to wreck and ruin and kill instead to reify les pensees gran-petit that he's capable of in the hope that people will at least remember his nasty behaviour. A garden slug with delusions of Napoleonic wishes. And I'm sure he's known forever he'll never even manage to fake it in his own mind.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1134139543407668042005-12-09T06:45:00.000-08:002005-12-09T06:45:00.000-08:00The great majority of people do not arrive at a po...The great majority of people do not arrive at a political position by studying various systems, reading commentary of all sorts, and pondering. Their politics are formed by two factors:<BR/><BR/>1. The "in" or default position that is considered correct among their peers.<BR/><BR/>2. The desire to stand out from the crowd (because, for these people, they're inevitably members of a crowd) by carrying the belief system to an even greater extreme.<BR/><BR/>So a character like Mahler (hope he's not related to the great Gustav Mahler) took on the coloring (Red) of his cohort in Germany. And true to type, he then had to stake his claim to being more leftist-than-thou.<BR/><BR/>Now his history is repeating itself, albeit in mirror-image fashion.<BR/><BR/>I'm convinced that politics is more about psychology than ideology. Ideology is an outward sign, psychology the driving force. So, as you note, different or seemingly opposite persuasions often mask an underlying similarity.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1134107024025624202005-12-08T21:43:00.000-08:002005-12-08T21:43:00.000-08:00Mahler is not simply some cretin who turned from t...Mahler is not simply some cretin who turned from the Left to the neo-Nazi Right. That in itself would condemn most men in the eyes of their fellow Human beings as scum irredeemable; but Mahler is also responsible for murder, not just of some of his colleagues in the Red Army Faction, smuggling guns into the prison cells where they committed suicide, but of killing poicemen and civilians in German, Denmark, the Netherlands, Lebannon and numerous other locations. He goes way beyond being a dilettante cafe revolutionary. The guy is a serious asshole.<BR/><BR/>What does it mean to us? He's not important in any way I can think of-- except that he's got a good line for some people in our day: he's tapping into a deep vein of ugliness that resides in the common man, a need to be right, to be superiour, to be good, to do great things. And he's a Nazi, and an offical Nazi at that. But what will he be tomorrow? He might well be a Democrat if things turn that way for him by way of opportunity and temperament. I suggest that there are many people who will veer from one extreme to the other, killing people on the way, who'll shrug it off, and who'll go on to the next atrocity or even the next glory without a thought. He is too typical, and he is legion.<BR/><BR/>What of our mates, those who today pose this way, tomorrow that, who might walk if the kids turn out to be Jewish in hard times? It's a constant battle to maintain the good in the face of the peering evil. What one man says today isn't necessarily what he'll follow through next day. But the nature of the man is hard to disgusie over the long term, the acorn becoming in spite of all an oak tree, not able to pretend it's a carrot. And what, I ask at last, is to prevent those who are evil from taking advantage of circumstances to express their deepest longings to practice their deepest longings? It's us. <BR/><BR/>We have to stand up and fight. We cannot allow this kind of man to continue to suck in the gullible, those who follow the pack, the well-intentioned, the ones who think of 'Mother Nature' as a good thing, and who think that the NPD is on the right track because they say nice things in a nice way. We have to look at the men behind the masks, to expose them as they are by showing from some careful analysis that they are evil, demonstrably so, and that they will flit from this to that evil and that we must stop them in our time, our duty, a duty we will pass on to others in their time.<BR/><BR/>Mahler, a piece of shit man, will excel at whatever he does, and some will suffer for it. We have to ensure that those who do are the fewest in number. Our friends might talk a good talk, and when the day is done they'll go back to whatever it is in them that they truly are; but we can shame them, inform them about public opinion to the point they keep themselves under control even if it's skin deep at last. Not Mahler. His is an evil too deep to be contained. But in the end the least we can do is show up the Mahlers to keep the rest from falling under the spells of those who will kill because they are killers and nothing more or less.<BR/><BR/>The rest, maybe they'll behave. It depends on what we make of our time.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1134103085305004012005-12-08T20:38:00.000-08:002005-12-08T20:38:00.000-08:00There is a sense in which this guy is atypical of ...There is a sense in which this guy is atypical of the Left Dhimmi Fascists. But, there is another sense in which he is just the honest one.<BR/><BR/>Clearly, many on the Left treat minorities as talisman, bringers of good luck, connection to the primal, etc. <BR/><BR/>When I was younger, I was a singer in a rock n' roll band. As such, I was immersed in the liberal world of the LA entertainment industry. Even back in my ultra-liberal days, I was very much against illegal immigration. I was often called a racist for my views. I didn't understand how I could be called a racist as I had multiple ethnicities just within my own band, my own circle of friends, and among the women I dated.<BR/><BR/>As time went by, I married a brown-skinned woman, and all my friends married white-skinned women. Most of my intellectual friends have moved into the academic life, and buried themselves in various white enclaves. Me? I am surrounded by non-white people.<BR/><BR/>It seems to me, it would not be very far from the truth to say that those who used to call me racist, by virtue of the lives they lead, do not feel comfortable with people who are not white. It seems to me this is evidence of a certain latent level of racism within their hearts. It seems to me that if they were honest about their views, they would be a lot closer to Mahler, than me. After all, they are the ones producing white-skinned children. They are the ones raising their white-skinned children in white enclaves. <BR/><BR/>Interesting, huh?Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.com
