PP-Ingsoc At Work


"other words, one can also at last enjoy that nice wood-floored study, tastefully granite-countered kitchen, with plenty of stainless steel appliances, in a mostly un-diverse neighborhood, still send your kids to a mostly predetermined racially-appropriate school, and still make a pretty good salary, drive a comfortably large car (though please—preferably a Volvo or Mercedes SUV rather than a Tahoe or Yukon), and feel like you are out there on the barricades of radical environmental, cultural, and political change (and hope too!)."

Pitcairn, FCPs St. Helena, Awaits






Not so bad, guys. Look, it has [1] Commanding heights [2] Great sea views [3] The famous one roomed Pitcairn University, where AI could teach math, JJ could teach physics and chemistry, MFT could teach history, I could do the Portuguese thing and be the gardener [4] Whacky Nawlin's Babe moments [This just for Le Pew, when he visits] [5] Gorgeous triumphalist architecture. [6] A history of unabashed anti-authoritarianism.....
Life is Good!

A Card Carrying Boston Liberal Gets It


Simple, yet utterly to the point. No Le Pewian "truthinessy' needed when hard reality is before you.
"Yet, in every one of my encounters with America's rural communities, the diversity of my privileged experience was eclipsed by the depth of theirs. I had rhetoric; they had well-measured speech, punctuated by forbearing silences. I had easy answers; they knew there was no such thing.
It is not that the Republican base is anti-intellectual, as David Broder claims; they are anti-elitist. An Ivy League education is hardly a universal signal of competence in anything other than the liberal cultural canon."
