>The New Paganism differs, and must differ radically, from the Old; its consequences in human life will be quite different; presumably much worse, and increasingly worse. The reason of this is that you cannot undo an experience. You cannot cut off a man or a society from their past, and the world of Christendom has had the experience of the Faith. When it moves away from the Faith to return to Paganism again it is not doing the same thing, not producing the same emotions, not passing through the same process, not suffering the same reactions, as the old Paganism did, which was moving towards the Faith. It is one thing to go south from the Arctic towards the civilized parts of Europe; it is quite another thing to go north from the civilized parts of Europe to the Arctic. You are not merely returning to a place from which you started, you are going through a contrary series of emotions the whole time. The New Paganism, should it ever become universal, or over whatever districts or societies it may become general, will never be what the Old Paganism was. It will be other, because it will be a corruption.

It will be other, because it will be a corruption. The Old Paganism was profoundly traditional; indeed, it had no roots except in tradition. Deep reverence for its own past and for the wisdom of its ancestry and pride therein were the very soul of the Old Paganism; that is why it formed so solid a foundation on which to build the Catholic Church, though that is also why it offered so long and determined a resistance to the growth of the Catholic Church. But the New Paganism has for its very essence contempt for tradition and contempt of ancestry. It respects perhaps nothing, but least of all does it respect the spirit of "Our fathers have told us."

This man's essays and books are very underrated, also here is half a poem:

Because my faltering feet may fail to dare
The first descendant of the steps of Hell
Give me the Word in time that triumphs there.
I too must pass into the misty hollow
Where all our living laughter stops: and hark!
The tiny stuffless voices of the dark
Have called me, called me, till I needs must follow:
Give me the Word and I'll attempt it well.

Landlords are the most disgusting fucking scum on the face of the earth. I've had the misfortune of dating a few women whose fathers were landlords and developers. They were all absolute scum shit who didn't see their tenants as people. They also systematically avoided paying taxes through all sorts of scams. Every cent they lavished on their cunt daughters was a cent they stole from a fellow taxpayer who actually works for his money.

Bilking your own people out of their wealth should be considered treasonous for a generation or two, just to clear out all the built-up parasites in the attic of this society. They're become far too good at what they do and turned corruption into a hobby and a profession, not an occasional embellishment of some genuine business. The ratio of profit gained by corruption to profit gained by genuine business is probably at a theoretical sociological minimum.

I don't care what your abstract model of capitalism or supply and demand is, sometimes a society needs to purge its parasites, so they don't pass on their expert knowledge of parasitism techniques to their children.

Writing my personal statement and I’m considering mentioning I assign myself to the distributionism political view and how Belloc and Chesterton influenced me along with Catholicism
Would this be fine to do especially for Oxbridge
I’m worried the accusations they have against them for anti semitism will lead to my application being rejected

If anyone is the eternal newfaggot, it is a subhuman vermin like you. What degenerate junkies experience has nothing to do with God, no matter what you degenerates tell yourselves.
