Ok, found Fr. Augustine's comment on Western iconography:
Okay. Out on a limb here. Yes, at least outside of book illumination, representational painting in the West up to the late 1300s is very "Byzantine" in its use of gold background, negative perspective, "static" composition. If you want an example of "Western" panel painting (or for that matter fresco or mosaic) in this period, the already mentioned Dan Damiano Cross is a good example. Then comes Giotto and Cimabue. And the art historians go crazy! Frankly, they are lovely painters, but, yes, in comparison to their contemporaries eccentric. Then comes the "retrograde" 14th Century. The Cione brothers, Orcagna, etc. This is the real Western Icon tradition at its high point. The much derided Byzantinizing Gothic. And, for the art historians a dead zone, finally ended by masaccio.
If one wants to do Western Icon painting, the "resourcement" shouldn't be to book illumination (which is spectacular in its own genre) but to the 14th century Italian altar pieces.
Sed, de gustibus non est disputandum . . .
Rejection of the men's tie
Last night was the season finale of Criminal Minds; I paid attention only because the commercials were hinting at the departure of a regular cast member and I wished to know who was leaving and how. Why even waste my time the, for misandric crap. At the end of the second hour was a sappy wedding scene, and I noticed that Joe Mantegna's character was doing the "hip" or "relaxed" informal - black/dark shirt and black/dark jacket, but no tie. This was mirrored by the other male characters as well. Americans have long adopted informal wear as the norm for weddings, but this goes even farther.
Given my stated hatred of the tie, you might think that I would approve of such a change, but given the power of convention I can't help but judge it to be a loss of standards. Seeing it depicted on television I was washing for the return of the cravat. This has become the popular standard for early music and classical musicians as well; see, for example, the Academy of Ancient Music and the Tallis Scholars. Even worse is when the men decide to wear just the black shirt and slacks. They then resemble waiters at some upscale restaurants. One is then reminded that the dress shirt is an undergarment and should have something covering it. The bid to be cool, trendy, and not so uptight has taken the abbreviation of modern Western male fashion aesthetics to a ridiculous extreme?
If one is not fat, wearing a tailored modern Western suit doesn't look bad. One may even look smarter with a tie (though I doubt it - as I said before, my aesthetic judgment is determined more by convention than by actual appearance in this case). I do not think the modern Western suit can be tailored in such a way to make it less obvious that an overweight man is so? Other cultures got around this by having clothing that was loose fitting? I'd still prefer some sort of coat that buttoned up all the way to the top, I think.
Besides, without the tie is there a need for the Western collared shirt? (Turning the collar up may not enhance its appeal, if the tie is still absent. And it interferes with the movement of the head.)
At any rate, the wedding scene was Hollywood's witness to the importance of friendship (and of marriage) as a good, since it was also revealed that Agent Prentiss would be leaving for a position with Interpol. But it's the lies about everything else that distort the truth and turn the show into propaganda.

Democracy (or a mixture of oligarchy and democracy as we have it) is a deviant regime. Is it therefore intrinsically not ordered to the common good? Certainly bad regimes violate distributive justice, and the problem is worsened when feminism is introduced to the mix, giving women a share in ruling simply on the belief that they are equal to men. (And they are not.) Are bad regimes therefore illegitimate? If so, and if the Church cannot say as much, would it not be better for the Church to keep silence rather than continue to admonish leaders to "do what is right" and thus give their regimes the semblance of validation and legitimacy? How can regime correction be promoted if the Church does not oppose the regime?

John Michael Greer, Confucian
The Twilight of Protest
Lloyd made a serious effort to grapple with the issues that book tried to raise, and by and large succeeded; where he failed, the misunderstandings were all but inevitable, given the differences between his views and mine. Thus it’s all the more striking that his review points up so precisely the reasons why protest movements have by and large been spinning their wheels in empty air for thirty years, and will almost certainly continue to do so while America’s empire crashes and burns around them.
The point that matters here is the review’s denunciation of one of the central points of the book, which is that those who want to change the world need to start by changing their own lives. According to Lloyd, we don’t have time for that, since the biosphere is in dire peril; what’s needed instead are the standard tools of contemporary activism—"direct action, community building, and outreach," in his convenient summary. His reasoning is logical enough, as far as it goes; if your house is on fire, after all, it’s a little late to install sprinklers and smoke alarms. If the situation is as urgent as Lloyd claims, all other considerations have to take a back seat to an all-out effort to deal with the immediate crisis with the most effective means available.
It’s a common enough claim in the contemporary activist community; Derrick Jensen had an article in Orion Magazine a few years back making essentially the same argument. Still, there’s a problem with that argument, because the responses Lloyd, Jensen, and other activists are promoting here have been standard across the spectrum of activist groups for more than three decades now, and that’s more than enough time to see how well they work. The answer? Well, let’s be charitable and say "not very well."

The Fulford File | More (Coordinated) Attacks On John Derbyshire, And VDARE.com
John Derbyshire:
I actually think ‘White Supremacist’ is not bad semantically. White supremacy, in the sense of a society in which key decisions are made by white Europeans, is one of the better arrangements History has come up with. There have of course been some blots on the record, but I don't see how it can be denied that net-net, white Europeans have made a better job of running fair and stable societies than has any other group.
Whig nationalism? (Does it share certain assumptiosn with liberalism about the nature of society and community?) It is undeniable that "white" civilization has achieved much materially and technically in the last two centuries, while the rest of the world has been trying to catch up to varying degrees of success. But is this attributable to race? Or to the modern nation-state making use of an intellectual advantage?
White nationalists may be part of a Whig Industrial Complex, unwilling to question their assumptions, their economic and political principles. How many would spurn the material benefits of "civilization" as they know it (or the use of cheap energy)? But traditionalist conservatives should look at an earlier period instead: medieval civilization, though one must still tease apart the good from the bad: communal life, agrarianism. Can one do this with industrial civilization? Can the claim that what is good in modern Western civilization is founded upon medieval and classicla antecedents (a claim advanced by certain American conservatives)? The rule of law and the Western legal system? Pat Buchanan, for example, would agree that Anglo-American political and social institutions are better -- better suited for Anglos and Americans than other forms, if not better absolutely. But these, and culture in general, do not find their source within genetics. (White nationalists seem to be crude materialists in their explanation of culture. This seems to be the case with the strident believers in HBD.)
It seems possible to have a healthy "white" identity without adhering to reductionism, recognizing the value of the traditions one has received from preceding generations. If whites have been able to rule themselves better it is also because of their moral education. Culture, paideia, and Christianity all pertain primarily to the spirit. The sort of white nationalism that is founded upon disordered and erroneous pride in one's bodily inheritance offers no way to preserve Western civilization, even if they are correct that there is no Western civilization without the peoples who embody it.
