Schlesinger and Hofstadter: Prophets of Projection

The center is vital; the center must hold…and we are far yet from having solved the social problem.Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., The Vital Center, 1949

Since what is at stake is always a conflict between absolute good and absolute evil…Nothing but complete victory will do.Richard Hofstadter, The Paranoid Style in American Politics”, Harper’s Magazine, 1964

There is no center, the boundaries are defined and there are only us and them (my new defining pronouns). This forevermore means that you are nourished or starved. No animosity towards the others until the center collapses, the cognitive dissonance that is about to happen will be the ultimate red pill experience. The FEMA camps are not your friends (work will set you free). Prepare for the genocide because the absurdities will not be believed much longer.

Schlesinger and Hofstadter could both have used some Arbeit.

Too much “Frei” on their hands, you say?

“Referring to Libya, Hillary Clinton once boasted, “We did not lose a single American…in that action.” That’s no consolation for the families of civilians killed by US bombs, or the modern-day slaves and others in Libya who continue paying a steep price for Obama’s short-sighted, dishonestly-promoted and illegal regime change campaign.”

Well…you fucking asked for it!
