quote
“The Culture War against the past undermines people’s traditional identities while also creating a demand for new ones. Since these newly invented identities lack an organic relationship with historical experience, they lack firm roots. Therefore, identities that are constructed or invented from a presentist perspective are inherently fragile and transient.”

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

Patriotism is an appropriate, indeed necessary, sentiment for people who wish to preserve their freedom; nationalism is not.”
