Peter Hitchens on the Suffragettes

He doesn't seem to go far enough in his criticism of the axiom for which they acted, egalitarianism.

Getting the Alt Right Wrong

Matthew Rose offers another genealogy of the alt right that is limited to the European nouvelle droite.

I'm pretty sure Dreher knows of Theodore Beale's existence. And he is probably not completely ignorant of paleoconservatism and its influence on the alt right. And yet he offers no modification of Roses's article.

Industrious and Family-Oriented

But that sort of "natural conservatism" is not enough, when the host population is not put on the same level as other ethnic Chinese, and there is no real integration into the host society. The Chinese diaspora is envied and regarded with suspicion by host populations, and for good reason. When the Chinese disapora gains too much control over commercial wealth, things can get deadly, and there is a good reason why one of the 16 Points of the Alt Right addresses this. (It is not applicable only to the Pharisee diaspora.)

Asia News: Msgr. Sanchez Sorondo in Wonderland by Bernardo Cervellera

The President of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences exalts China as the best implementer of the Churches’ social doctrine. The bishop seems oblivious to the shantytowns of Beijing and Shanghai, the expulsion of migrants, oppression of religious freedom. Appreciation for the Paris Climate Agreement, but silence on the links between wealth, corruption and pollution. An ideological approach that makes a laughing stock of the Church.

More like a Special Activities Division Ground Branch operator than a intelligence analyst. Tom Clancy would probably approve of the change for his Marty Stu character.

SUT

Mountain Guerilla and Max Velocity Tactical have made similar comments about what comprises advanced skills and the necessity of drilling in small unit tactics. I believe both authors are ex-SF operators, both Ranger-tabbed? If so, that may explain why they are concerned with SUT. Is it the case that certain ex-military instructors (especially from counter-terrorist units) are too concerned with weapons manipulation (shooting, shooting from different positions, and shooting with a mix of physical exercises in between, etc.) and not realistic combat drills for people learning to work in groups?

Will we see a new trend of ex-military who had completed Ranger school or been in a Ranger bat offering classes in SUT as a way to distinguish themselves from other instructors? There is a need for such instruction, especially for civilians seeking to prepare themselves for the duty of serving in [informal] militia groups, which the Founding Fathers understood as being incumbent upon all [male] citizens.

Why wouldn't a man want to read through the Ranger handbook and pick up some more skills in addition to the skills he learned in scouting as a boy, either from a scout troop or from family?
