@Sargon_of_Akkad @Sargon_of_Akkad can you see that unattached American sprawl is the urban form of liberalism?
An English way of life detached from her people, commoditized and exported... Leaving atomization and derascination in it's wake...
English
@Sargon_of_Akkad Modernity & Liberalism preyed on this Anglo aversion to attached buildings in America, to commodify and export the Single Family subdivision...
To the point where we no longer live in towns, but "S.F. Residential zones."

"It is a well-known fact that the peoples of Germany never live in cities and will not even have their houses adjoin one another. They dwell apart, dotted about here and there, wherever a spring, plain, or grove takes their fancy. Their villages are not laid out in the Roman style, with buildings adjacent and connected. Every man leaves an open space round his house..." - Tacitus, Germania, 98AD.
It's a cultural habit that we've had for thousands of years.

Why are Anglos obsessed with houses that don’t touch. What is the anorexia alley achieving

@ArchieHicoxGB @Sargon_of_Akkad Yet these medieval stone towns remain.

@Sargon_of_Akkad As for me, I was radicalized by the narrow streets of Christendom...
Including the English and even American ones, which inherited this Urban Romanitas.
English
@Sargon_of_Akkad The Anglo in the New World began to revert to factory settings when given the blessings of an open frontier....
Beautiful places were still made as these unattached homes still shaped space and clung near to neighbor.
English
@Sargon_of_Akkad New Urbanism has revived a leaner tradition of Urbanism which still shapes space in the Roman mold, but allows for unnatached buildings.
Poundbury in England is a local example for you @Sargon_of_Akkad

You mean how we currently live in the ruins from the middle ages?
Funes@Bulkington___
Always fascinated how people in the middle ages for hundreds of years just lived amongst the ever decrepitating Roman ruins. It was just a part of daily life for them.

Conservatives correctly grasp that Marxism is a failure but do not understand why
It’s not that the specific ideological construction is a failure, though it is, the problem is that ideology itself tends towards utopian distraction
Marxism might be the most obvious manifestation of this modern temptation but is far from the only one
As we can clearly see in both the UK and US “rule of law” is just as capable of producing tyranny
Once the law is separated from the good of the particular people it was meant to serve it becomes its own ideological game, exploitable by those most willing to rend the culture asunder for their own gain
The Aristotelian insight is that while some systems may have advantages over others it is orientation towards the public good that ultimately decides the worth of the system
Without a concrete commitment to a specific people any system, including rule of law, will be corrupted

Being a Christian nation is WHY we want to return to State establishments of specific sects of Christianity in all 50 States, as the 1st Amendment guarantees

Beautifully said. Being a Christian nation is WHY America believes in Religious Liberty for all.

I’m not a dove, I want war
I want war with the people sending boatloads of rapists to the UK
I want war with the people who flooded the heartland with opioids
I want war with those tearing down our statues
I want war on those transing kids
Those people aren’t in Tehran
Fugitive Caesar@ThomBrady5
@HomericFuturist It's fine to take a dove/noninterventionist stance, or to disagree with the apparently $200 billion this war is going to cost us when we're $38 trillion in debt, I am not happy about the Pentagon asking for that amount when we haven't solved Somalian fraud.

They absolutely did not hear a British person say this, and it's legitimately hard to find a more English name than Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson saved us from this.

@uncledoomer True true.... But notice how the quality and magnificence of our ruins has also decreased.

Every war is WW2
Every leader is Hitler
It’s always 1936
Anyone with questions is always Chamberlain
Bill O'Reilly@BillOReilly
Today, Iran has replaced Germany as a frightening threat, and, incredibly, Europe still looks away, apparently not absorbing the fact that at least 50 million human beings died because evil was ignored in 1936. billoreilly.com/b/Accepting-Ev…

It’s called Christendom. It was the child of the Catholic Church.
In every material way, it was far poorer than we are today.
And yet it produced beauty on a scale we can barely imagine. Indeed, we still take many of our vacations to see it.
Why? Because for all its flaws, it was oriented to God.
We are not. We are oriented to ourselves. Even many of the popular forms of Christianity have largely been reduced to therapeutic psycho babble that can barely stand to hear the testimony of their ancestors, which uniformly speak of a far more intense and sacrificial faith than the one they have concocted for themselves.
A faith that—as the cathedrals testify—despite having far less in material wealth, nonetheless produced far more beauty.

Imagine a culture that builds cathedrals instead of gambling apps
