5. Hi Glider - I am sorry we are all "here" now, and there you are up in

Canada having excruciating psychological reactions to the plight of the US right along with us - oh!!! I, along with others, keep running out of words to say at this perilous moment in the planet's known history...I just wish you all the best up there!!!

I said yesterday I would "study up" on Dugin, and - oh damn, no words again! He is an incomprehensibly foul creature. I am shocked and sickened. But I'm studying, my friend...

Just an excerpt from one of many links I've explored:

In Dugin’s case, the “central complex” is a mess of imperialism, bigotry, reactionary religiosity and a loathing of social diversity. To confuse matters further, he has borrowed from postmodernism the idea that “truth is a matter of belief … there is no such thing as facts”. In the year of “post-truth politics”, this contention resonates all too deeply. Worse, Dugin’s ideas help to explain why the present tensions between the US and Russia may be distracting us from a potential convergence between the two mighty powers – and not the good kind, either.
