You didn't see what was left out; my favourite moments are when he praises Sarah Millican and the visible copy of Melanie C's autobiography on the desk. In the absence of discernment, even the greatest collection is rendered worthless. A man who likes everything, likes nothing.

If you read stuff from the 50s and early 60s, the defining event to illustrate the horrors of World War II is nearly always the atoms bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima and seldom if ever the Holocaust.

These historian battles all have a really childish quality to them. Here Toynbee embarks on 100-straight pages of defining terms and starts by declaring that he's not going to define the word "definitions". It's all very Newman and Baddiel "History Today". https://t.co/mKk0A4YXZw

WWYD3 starts after midnight. At some point later we’ll be treated to the parade.

Why do they all look so photoshopped and fake? These girls would all be barred from WWYD, not that any of them would even get past round 1.

While Sly Sneak is a very dangerous character, who should not be allowed out, I did appreciate him slipping in this easter egg. https://t.co/G3kREU3mns

I have never encountered a book like Toynbee's Reconsiderations (Study of History, vol. XII) before. 750 pages where he answers his critics -- literally scores of them, 100s of them -- in tedious detail. It's somewhat incredible it exists. He defends every aspect of his character

This is the evil of Sly Sneak. He must be stopped.

"Sly Sneak was reputedly "unhappy" with his New Year's Gift, and thus has decided to inflict upon the world a second one. It is vital that he is put back in his cage.

Evola explains it by suggesting that America is the embodiment of the mass-man tendency to standardisation and homogeneity which is defined by its "most primitive" element which is a regression to that which is most brutish, vulgar, animal-like, a "taste for brutality", etc.
