“the God-idea must go with other relics of the Fear born of Ignorance into the limbo of savagery. … we cannot allow people who believe in this ‘God;’ they are troglodytes, as dangerous to society as any other thieves and murderers. The Christians to the Lions!”

The #savagery of life in barbaric #Russia.

In #Kazan, a car of #Putin's goons gets offended when another car passes them.

They'll likely face torture, be robbed, and all other core elements of Russian culture

I'm sorry to say it, but when I come here and actually read some of the news about the wars I get horrified. I feel that war is just a cover word for murder.

WIST Quotations Jan 28

A quotation from Emerson

The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda, — these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs. You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughter-house is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity, expensive races, — race living at the expense of race.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Fate,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 1

A quotation from Hand, Learned:

«
Cruel and savage as orthodoxies have always proved to be, the faithful seem able to convince themselves that the heretics, as they continue to crop up, get nothing worse than their due, and to rest with an easy conscience.
