Behind the choir will be an extraordinary backdrop: a #RoodScreen made not of wood but of stone, twisting & curving to the sky. It's been dated to the 1350s. So, just after the #BlackDeath... Who would have supported innovation at such a time?

A quotation from George Orwell
Artists don’t so much object to aesthetic discipline. Architects will design theatres or churches equally readily, writers will switch from the three-volume novel to the one-volume, or from the play to the film, according to the demand. But the point is that this is a political age. A writer inevitably writes — and less directly this applies to all the arts — about contemporary events, and his impulse is to tell what he believes to be the truth. But no government, no big organization, will pay for the truth. To take a crude example: can you imagine the British Government commissioning E. M. Forster to write A Passage to India? He could only write it because he was not dependent on State aid.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

So, my #dentist is #catholic like most people in #mexico . Yes, she understands its a #religion brought to her ancestors by the point of a sword, but that doesn't seem to phase her faith in the slightest. Even more #hardcore, she goes to a specific church every so often to pray or give #patronage [or whatever chatolics do] to #Apollonia, the #patron #saint of dentists and toothaches. Why is she the patron saint of dentists and toothaches you ask? Because she had her teeth ripped out and / or shattered at the hands of an Alexandrian mob, that's why.
I find this both endearing and disturbing at the same time, and I can think of little else as she rakes metal instruments across my teeth. -

Capitalism’s defenders like to boast that it rewards talent. What capitalism actually rewards is saleability, compliance, stamina, inheritance, and the ability to endure long periods of spiritual self-betrayal without becoming visibly troublesome.

RE: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116130113129035572
We have a fourth patron – thank you @neutrinoceros with a €50/month pledge – and our pledges are up to $200/month to cover the monthly cost of rent for Aseel’s family.
We have $400/month left to cover. If just 8 people match Clément’s pledge, we can move Aseel and her family out of a precarious existence in a tent and into relative stability in an apartment.
(Aseel is one of our volunteers at Gaza Verified. In the middle of everything she’s being forced to endure, she sits in on calls every week to help other Palestinians from Gaza. The least we can do is make sure she is safe and cared for.)
Please become a patron if you can and please share so others can see this and help.
Thank you!

Sabah is rich in resources, but politicians jail its wealth, using patronage to ensure dependency and easy bribes. The "Sabahan Malas" stereotype and using religion to gaslight are tactics to hide this reality. Focus on corrupt leaders and demand a fair system.

#Tesla uses #ChineseCourts to #SilenceCritics & make them pay.
Tesla has won nearly 90% of its #lawsuits in China, showing how Musk has thrived in a system in which regulators, the media & the courts must all answer to the #CCP.
It's not common practice for automakers — in #China or elsewhere — to sue their customers, but Tesla has pioneered an aggressive #legal strategy & leveraged the #patronage of powerful leaders in the Chinese Communist Party to silence critics, reap financial rewards and limit its accountability.

SACR and its members harp on the idea that America is in a fatal stage of rot, and that they are an oppressed people waiting to rise up on behalf of a silent majority.
The SACR website speaks to the deeply held grievance and sense of a lack of masculine purpose which animates the group.
SACR exists, the website says, because “a man is no longer encouraged to fly to the stars,”
because “those who rule today spit on such ambitions;
they corrupt the sinews of America.”“They have alienated men from family, community, and God.
We counter and conquer this poison, rebuilding a society where a man can find genuine fulfilment,
true to his nature and calling,
rejoicing in virtue and vitality,” the website says,
before offering a Google docs link where men can apply.At the end of the day, SACR’s members are not oppressed.
Claremont is free to publish whatever it likes
— it’s widely seen as tremendously influential on the right generally and in MAGA circles specifically.SACR chapters can meet; Haywood can blog
— in fact, on Tuesday he wrote an encomium to The Camp of the Saints, a 1970s French novel in which a horde of Indian immigrants overwhelms, degrades, and exterminates the white West.“The goal of the Left was always total expropriation of white people and then, if at all possible, their extermination,
a goal made explicit by many powerful people in 2020,” Haywood wrote.“How, given this history, should white Americans respond?”
SACR may be his answer.
In emails from November 2020, Yenor wrote to Skyler Kressin, the head of the SACR chapter in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and on the group’s national board.
Yenor sent a screenshot of an Amazon link to
“The Super Afrikaners,”
a 1979 nonfiction account of the #Afrikaner #Broederbond,
a semi-secret society which ruled South Africa under apartheid.“That good?” Yenor titled the subject line, highlighting the book — long out of print — and its $95.62 price.
“That’s the one,” Kressin replied.
South Africa, with its visions of white settlers driven away from status and wealth, appear consistently in Haywood’s writings, and in Fischer’s as well.
The Broederbond, an Afrikaner-only, Calvinist-only group of elites which functioned as a series of hundreds of independent “cells” across the country, offers an eerie reflection of SACR’s structure.
Williams told TPM that the Afrikaner Broederbond came up in conversations over what SACR would be, but denied that it served as a model for the group.
The grievance, perceived loss of status, and lack of metaphysical meaning that these men feel are very real, to them.
But there’s enough in America’s own history to understand the aims and tradition in which SACR is operating.

Perhaps the most startling element of SACR is one of its long-term objectives.
Per the mission statement obtained by TPM, SACR aims to have its members form the government of an “aligned future regime.”
“They would be next generation
—not founding participants, but those who joined as the project of civic renewal grows deep roots,” the document reads.“That is, men who ‘grow up in the system.’”
Other goals include providing “preferential treatment for members, especially in business,”
and to both “coordinate allied fraternal networks”
and “defend fraternal networks … against attacks by those opposed to civic renewal, and strongly deter such attacks.”In Yenor’s Boise chapter, SACR members attempted to craft a “#Statement on #Marriage” in which local church leaders would proclaim an “intentional effort to celebrate the benefits of family life” because the “culture is hostile to Christian marriage.”
To do that, the group would “promote marriage publicly through a pro-marriage sticker” to be spread around the Boise region.
The same group held events with speakers, including writer and policy researcher #Aaron #Renn.
At one point, emails show, Yenor pitched an Idaho news website to Claremont funders called Action Idaho, saying that SACR would take care of back-end work for the venture.
Other public remarks from members point towards the group’s activities.
After The Guardian published its initial story on the group over the summer, a small controversy erupted among evangelicals who regarded Haywood’s views as dangerous and the prospect of a certain strain of Christianity taking control of the government as troubling.
Fischer hit back in a podcast appearance, describing SACR as a “big-tent thing where men get together.”
“So the local chapters or lodges will have a meeting and maybe 15 guys get together and a speaker comes in and talks about something political, sometimes it’s a political candidate or whatever.
And then we learn and sometimes we just hang out,” he said.“There’s no sort of great #secrecy associated with it. There’s a little degree of #confidentiality because there’s guys there who are at companies where even being associated with a group that is all men would be seen as suspicious.”
