Entry: To Hell with Joe Klein! Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/to_hell_with_joe_klein#32718 Post contents: I have to agree with mr. gottfried. europe today is attempting to get untangled from the web of present delusions in the west. well at least in Vienna now wondering what on earth possessed it toward embracing a mass european society, which the likes of the affable joe klein so ardently endorse. it's a fake punishment he allegedly suffers at the beach. perhaps in saving itself Vienna again will have the salutary effect of saving its european neighbors by example. state capitalism though, like its siblings socialism and communism, wants or needs mass societies that do not because they systemically cannot cater to the needs of individuals. it’s a paradox because then they overly promote “democracy” when they believe they have a handle on it, and overly promote bizarre forms of individualism that do not cater to the needs of individuals for community which is lost to the mass society being cultivated instead. that is the witting or unwitting betrayal inside the walls since it is, isn’t it, presently systemic. the way it’s rigged right now the system/s themselves make the meeting of an individual’s needs impossible. it is only possible to meet those needs even minimally when the individual conforms to the amalgam or mass intention required by the system. culturally speaking that is not christian either. the individual soul in its journey needs for its realization, what it has as a *given, a certain freedom within narrow parameters yes. but not those determined and otherwise delimited by a system, which with each passing day proves itself worldwide to be more and more unnatural. the unnatural in behalf of alleged transcendence or alleged improvement of the human condition is something christianity has always sought to avoid. only an aggressive mimicry of our culture by an alien culture with an inevitable agenda of its own, could achieve today’s grotesque distortions of our own? is it merely modernity and post-modernity or is it an invisible culture’s agenda within the wall’s? if so it’s not even betrayal. that would simply be a natural event at the expense of the host.
