Dagens datum 5 maj: denna dag 1813 föddes den danske poeten, filosofen, teologen och författaren Søren Aabye Kierkegaard.
Those who are most sensitive about ”politically incorrect” terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any ”oppressed” group but come from privileged strata of society.
Theodore Kaczynski
I samma mån som den politiska och ekonomiska friheten inskränkes, tycks som en kompensation därför den sexuella friheten bli större. En diktator gör klokt i att uppmuntra en sådan frihet […]. I förbindelse med friheten till dagdrömmeri under inflytande av narkotika, biograf och radio, hjälper den sexuella friheten till att försona hans undersåtar med den träldom som är deras öde.
Aldous Huxley
Because I found modern life absolutely unacceptable, I grew increasingly hopeless until, at the age of 24, I arrived at a kind of crisis: I felt so miserable that I didn’t care whether I lived or died. But when I reached that point, a sudden change took place: I realized that if I didn’t care whether I lived or died, then I didn’t need to fear the consequences of anything I might do. Therefore I could do anything I wanted. I was free! That was the great turning-point in my life because it was then that I acquired courage, which has remained with me ever since. It was at that time, too, that I became certain that I would soon go to live in the wild, no matter what the consequences.
Ted Kaczynski
Kort är hammarens skaft hos den segrande Tor, blott en aln lång är svärdet hos Frej. Det är nog; har du mod, gå din fiende när, och för kort är din klinga då ej.
Esaias Tegnér
The big problem is that people don’t believe a revolution is possible, and it is not possible precisely because they do not believe it is possible.
Theodore Kaczynski
There are no truces in cultural warfare. The law of cultural life is either occupy your own cultural territory or have it occupied by alien forces.
E. Michael Jones
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world does not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
Trolös är den, som ta farväl när fara nalkas.
Gimli, Sagan om ringen
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
Voltaire
För att förgöra ett folk måste du först kapa deras rötter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Ge dem bröd och skådespel så kommer de aldrig revoltera.
Decimus Junius Juvenalis
A mistake that most people make is to assume that the more followers you can recruit, the better. That’s true if you are trying to win an election. A vote is a vote regardless of whether the voter is deeply committed or just barely interested enough to get to the polls. But when you’re building a revolutionary movement, the number of people you have is far less important than the quality of your people and the depth of their commitment. Too many lukewarm or otherwise unsuitable people will ruin the movement.
Theodore Kaczynski
The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern leftism we call feelings of inferiority and oversocialization. Feelings of inferiority are characteristic of modern leftism as a whole, while oversocialization is characteristic only of a certain segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.
Theodore Kaczynski
Tyskland har idag fler politiska fångar än Östtyskland hade ett år innan Berlinmurens fall. Dessa tankebrottslingar, vilka har dömts för hets mot folkgrupp, revisionism eller för återuppbyggandet av förbjudna partier, räknas inte som politiska fångar. Ansedda som nynazister, har de utestängts från det politiska spektrumet. Så för majoriteten av de unga har de blivit martyrer för det nationella uppvaknandet. Detta uppvaknande sker mitt framför våra ögon, men vi vägrar se det.
Horst Mahler
I en demokratur råder allmänna och fria val, åsiktsfrihet råder formellt men politiken och massmedia domineras av ett etablissemang som anser att bara vissa meningsyttringar skall släppas fram.
Gérard Mermet
Konsekvensen blir att medborgarna lever i en föreställning att de förmedlas en objektiv och allsidig bild av verkligheten.
Åsiktsförtrycket är väl dolt, den fria debatten stryps.
Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society… Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual’s internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.
Theodore Kaczynski
För att ta reda på vem som styr, ta då först reda på vilka du inte får kritisera.

Alla vill att yxan skall gå men ingen vill hålla i skaftet.
Gustav Vasa
När vi diskuterar traditioner är det inte godtyckliga regler och konventioner vi talar om. Vi diskuterar svar som har upptäckts till bestående frågor.
Roger Scruton
