“For the majority of human history, it was taken for granted that a person’s status as “man” or “woman” was purely biological and determined by his or her sex at birth. Nobody had any notion of a “gender spectrum” or “gender fluidity.” There have always been effeminate men and masculine women, but there was never any thought given to the possibility that the effeminate man might really be a woman, and the masculine woman might really be a man. But as the irrational, anti-scientific, and superstitious belief in “transgenderism” was introduced into the cultural bloodstream by academia and Hollywood, individual Americans, feeling the increasing peer pressure, quickly forsook their knowledge of basic human biology and adopted progressive gender theory wholesale.”
― Matt Walsh, Church of Cowards: A Wake-Up Call to Complacent Christians

― Matt Walsh, Church of Cowards: A Wake-Up Call to Complacent Christians

“Holland is precisely a country of lean, fatless two-meters-high vampires. The living ones in Holland are only the buzzed-up-coffee Indonesians, whom they inherited from the possession of Indonesia, islands of exotica and spices. In actual fact Holland is a railroad stage between France and Germany across Belgium, along the boring coast of a gray sea. In Holland 20 million of vampires live behind the protection of a concrete-laid coast”
― Eduard Limonov, Другая Россия

― August Strindberg

“Non c'è dubbio (lo si vede dai risultati) che la televisione sia autoritaria e repressiva come mai nessun mezzo di informazione al mondo. Il giornale fascista e le scritte sui cascinali di slogans mussoliniani fanno ridere: come (con dolore) l'aratro rispetto al trattore. Il fascismo, voglio ripeterlo, non è stato sostanzialmente in grado nemmeno di scalfire l'anima del popolo italiano: il nuovo fascismo, attraverso i nuovi mezzi di comunicazione e di informazione (specie, appunto, la televisione), non solo l'ha scalfita ma l'ha lacerata, violata, bruttata per sempre.”
― Pier Paolo Pasolini, Scritti corsari

― Masanobu Fukuoka, Sowing Seeds in the Desert: Natural Farming, Global Restoration, and Ultimate Food Security
