It may be trite, but I never thought the passage would be so meaningful in my life:
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
This felt like a love letter to the American Experiment. We get ambushed by everything wrong in this world to the point of hopelessness, this was a nice reminder of the gift that is being able to strive towards something greater. Great job here!
The hated Rooskie far enemy is always a stand in or proxy for the near enemy, MAGA whitie (even if there a few honorary white Hispanic MAGA longing for a caudillo like that Proud Boys guy Enrique T). And even the aspiring Father Coughlin of our time Nick Fuentes is a gay Mexican origin federal informant who told people to storm the Capitol on Jan 6th and never got touched. Proving that the demand for bona fide Nazis and anti-Semites with actual influence and audience continues to outstrip supply.
As I've told a Russian friend, Russians are the most hated white people, followed by Afrikaners, then Southern MAGA Whites. It's a kind of taxonomy of whom the Woke Left is supposed to hate more. Who cares that Ivan's Red Army grandfather rolled through the gates of Auschwitz or historically most of the progroms in the Pale were within what is now the Ukraine, not in post 1991 Russia?
That's what all that woke vet spiking the football on X later among the BlueSky brigades over an American Civil War (most of them having no ancestors who actually fought for the North or the South let alone on both sides) was about....I suggest James look up who the Founding Fathers initially restricted immigration to if he thinks all 'white nationalists' save for Eastern European ones who make useful cannon fodder against Russians must be extirpated.
We're working on an article on how all the hysterics about Daryl Cooper and WW2 revisionists supposedly rehabilitating Hitler (the 'Good War' as Studs Terkel called it should be revisioned even if many of their arguments are idiotic) is psywar blowback. For all the world war woke vets and liberals turning a blind eye over the past decade to the Bandera/OUN/UPA cult and Wehrmacht/Waffen SS insignia LARPing in Ukraine and the Waffen SS commemoration marches in the Baltics.
The Atlantic and Tom Nichols need to have their noses rubbed in the crapola of the Greater Galician/Lemberger Reich with a bisexual Jewish comedian turned wartime dictator named Zelensky's clown face put on it a bit more.
