Quote by Matthew Goodwin

“This tendency to see politics as a conveyor belt on which conservatives fall off and liberals stay on reflects how progressives see the world. Rather than see politics and human nature as what they are - unpredictable, chaotic, messy and volatile - the new elite believe they are on a linear path towards ‘progress’, that history will only ever bend in their direction.”

“The pervasive doctrine of white supremacy supposedly inoculated whites against the will to interracial mixing, but that doctrine proved to be unreliable when matched against the force of human sexuality. People are prone to having sex, especially when they are in daily contact with potential objects of sexual attraction. That inclination has permeated every slave society, every frontier society, and every colonial society that has ever existed.”

“আদিম মানুষ যখন রহস্যীকরণ শুরু করেছিলো, তার কোনো দুরভিসন্ধি ছিলো না, সে শুধু গিয়েছিলো ভুল পথে; কিন্তু পরে সমাজপ্রভুরা দেখতে পায় বিশ্বের সত্য বের করার বদলে তাকে রহস্যে বোঝাই ক'রে তুললেই সুবিধা হয় তাদের।”

“Mob is not the plural of man, he said. We’re dealing with a different species, that has kaleidoscopes in the hollows of the eyes. Where projections of violence keep rotating at increasing velocity. Until the prisms shatter with their own frenzy, & the blinded creature collapses in the rubble it has created.”
