R. Hittinger on Christopher Dawson
How Would Christopher Dawson Redeem the West? by Russell Hittinger
Disappointing
So a musician decided to get two tattoos. Why? Because that's what musicians do? I wouldn't be surprised if her parents were rather permissive in setting expectations in this regard. Given the association of tattoos in women with sexual experience, one cannot help but think that she has lost her v-card. (She apparently is in a relationship with another musician.) Is it possible for musicians to govern their emotions, rather than be governed by them, and still be good musicians (at least with respect to music that plays up the emotions)?
The tats didn't enhance her beauty; another instance of marring what was a masterpiece already.
The change did take the wind out of my sails as a fan, even though her singing continues to mature and her set sounded very good.
I note that an attractive older female (a boomer) who was in the audience had a small tattoo on her wrist. I couldn't tell the precise age of the tat, but it did seem a bit faded.

An Immigrant Church
When non-Ukrainians who have become Ukrainian Catholic in countries outside Ukraine adopt the nationalist perspective of the Ukrainians and their hostility to Russia there is a problem with the ecclesial culture. Ethnic churches need to assimilate and integrate or their members need to give up their citizenship.
Jordan Peterson Presents His Version of a New Conservatism
How well does it mesh with the alt right?
Still some of the best marketing I think
Even if there are haters who think the quality of the rifles is not so good...

There's another video in which Jordan Peterson talks about his religious background and beliefs; I will have to listen to that. From what he said during his first appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, I don't think he could be called an orthodox Christian. Unless he is using a depth psychology interpretative or phenomenological framework to open minds to the possibility that Christianity is true.

Cultural Marxists in Greece?
Or just the secularist left... former Communists?
Religious Harbingers of Greek De-Hellenization by Themistoclis Murtsanos
Essentially, “new religious studies” is an additional path to the de-Hellenization and de-Christianization of our society. This is the policy: to create people without religious convictions, without memory, without historicity. People who are able to grasp only the most primitive concepts.
