A couple of days ago, Wikiquote’s Quote of the Day came from celebrated idiot Eugene Ionesco: I believe that what separates us all from one another is simply society itself, or, if you like, politics. This is what raises barriers between men, this is what creates misunderstanding. If I may …
36 years ago, the fascists came to kill those who stood up for freedom and democracy. But for all their violence, they couldn’t kill the idea of freedom. This is what Greek people celebrate on the 17th of November. Today, it’s starting to become acceptable to excuse the crimes of …
Today is the feast-day of Saint John Chrysostom, one of the most despicable figures history has ever produced, and leader of the mob of idiots that destroyed the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. As much as I admire the stories and …
