Jakub Drábik: Fašizmus (2019)
Fašizmus je nová kniha historika Jakuba Drábika, ktorý sa vo svojom výskume zaoberá štúdiom generického fašizmu (ako jeden z mála na Slovensku) a aktuálne pôsobí na Historickom ústave SAV.

Že je Korzika nádherný ostrov, o tom zrejme pochybuje málokto. Ale turisti a dovolenkári, ktorí sa na ňu dostanú cez bežnú cestovku, s ktorou počas týždňového zájazdu pochodia najvychytenejšie miesta, prichádzajú o veľa.
Weimar's history does show us that a society lacking consensus, a society in which no set of ideas and no group constitute hegemony, can be a dangerous place.

Not only was the division between Left and Right less emphatic than it at first appeared, but the internal conflicts on each side could prove intense.

Po Himalájach, Kirgizsku a ostrove Skye sme sa z dôvodov peňažných aj iných tentokrát rozhodli pre aktívnu dovolenku, ktorá by (opäť) nezruinovala náš rozpočet, bola geograficky blízka, ale stále aspoň mierne neobvyklá. Tak padol zrak na prechod hrebeňom rumunského Fagarašu. Pridajte zájazd autobusom, úderný oddiel Čechov a je jasné, že o nebezpečné momenty nebola núdza!
But for individuals like Arnold Leese intellectual consistency mattered much less than his hatred of the Jews. At one NL meeting the self-confessed animal lover and Jew-hater suddenly adopted a fullblooded Lamarckian argument to explain the difference between Swedish and British cattle. Apparently Swedish cows, secure in the knowledge that they were going to be stunned by true Aryans before they were slaughtered, were happy and friendly towards man; British cows, who might be bled to death for kosher meat, had no such guarantee and were morose and sullen as a result.
As more and more of the two traditional domestic enemies became reconciled in the cooking-pot, Gautier claimed that they seemed to grow instinctively aware of their peril: Soon the animals observed that man was regarding them in a strange manner and that, under the pretext of caressing them, his hand was feeling them like the fingers of a butcher, to ascertain the state of their embonpoint. More intellectual and more suspicious than dogs, the cats were the first to understand, and adopted the greatest prudence in their relations.
Catalonia, like the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, had also suffered a series of natural disasters. During the winter of 1627-8, in the words of a diarist, 'the earth and sky seemed made of brass', and the clergy of Barcelona led no fewer than 34 processions to pray for rain. Their prayers were answered with storms that washed away another harvest. Geoffrey Parker: Global Crisis. War, Climate Change Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century
Ak to ešte niekto z cca 3 čitateľov tohto blogu nezachytil, tak áno, boli sme toto leto v Kirgizsku, alebo krajšie a nespisovne povedané v Kyrgzystane. Ja som samozrejme príliš lenivý a večne prokrastinujem, ale toť moja sestra o tom priniesla celú sériu blogpostov. Enjoy. Vsjo charašo!
Innumerable imperial anectodes deliberately mix up the comic and the very dangerous, a piquancy always relished by the British. There is a story from upper Egypt, in which a man on a lonely Nile station was said to have cabled to Cairo: 'POST SURROUNDED BY LIONS AND TIGERS.' Back went the reply from Cairo: 'THERE ARE NO TIGERS IN AFRICA', and back again went the Empire-builder's simple ripost: 'DELETE TIGERS.' Jan Morris: Pax Britannica. The Climax of an Empire
Keď sme sa tak na jar tohto roku s kolegom rozhodovali kam ísť na trek, Škótsko bola jasná voľba. Iste, trekovanie v Himalájach je úžasné a vôbec veľmi pozoruhodná záležitosť, špeciálne v oblasti hygieny, každopádne osobný bankrot sa nedá vyhlasovať každý rok. A Škótsko je blízko, Ryanair vždy poruke a predsa len, aspoň tam hovoria po anglicky. Viacmenej.
Kedykoľvek sa v novinách objaví informácia o Le Penovi alebo francúzskom Národnom Fronte, v diskusii sa vždy objaví skupina našich - väčšinou nulokarmových - kamarátov a dookola opakuje tú istú pesničku: FN a jeho-až-donedávna-predseda sú jedinou nádejou proti islamizácii Európy, stelesnenie 'zdravého rozumu' voči 'bruselským technokratom' a skorumpovaným politikom, posledná obrana pred 'národnou a kultúrnou samovraždou európskej civilizácie'. A keďže mam francúzsku radikálnu pravicu z duše rád a jej už zhruba 150 ročná bohatá tradícia predstavuje nevyčerpateľnú studnicu poznania [1], veľkodušne som sa rozhodol že sa s tými zopár čitateľmi tohto blogpostu podelím o pár zaujímavých faktov o tomto záchrancovi našej civilizácie a jeho strane.
Definitions cannot, by their very nature, be either "true" or "false," only more useful or less so. For this reason it makes relatively little sense to argue over definitions. If, however, there are discrepancies between definitions in a given field, it makes sense to discuss their respective utility. Peter Berger: The Sacred Canopy. Elements of a Sociological Theory of Religion
"You know, the sky here's strange. I often have the sensation when I look at it that it's a solid thing up there, protecting us from what's behind." Kit shuddered slightly as she said: "From what’s behind?""Yes" "But what is behind?" Her voice was very small. "Nothing, I suppose. Just darkness. Absolute night". Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky
Ak to náhodou niekto nezaregistroval, toť v októbri sme sa vydali do Nepálu (ten pruh zeme nad Indiou), do Himalájí, presnejšie na trek do doliny Gokyo Ri. Moje fotky su samozrejme len nekvalitný paškvil trpko závidiaci kvalite, ale toť moja sestra začala (postupne) uverejňovať svoju fotodokumentáciu, takže ak chce niekto vidieť krásne hory a skupinu kriplov zo Slovenska, smelo do toho. P.S. nenávidím dal bhat, už nikdy nechcem vidieť a už vôbec nie piť citrónový čaj a kyslík je skutočne nádherná vec.
Fidel Castro's 1995 reception in France by President Mitterand was probably the high watermark of the favorable reputation he has enjoyed abroad. Mrs. Mitterand, an unabashed admirer of his (who has visited Cuba several times), believes that Castro is "nothing like a dictator" and his government accomplished the "summit of what socialism could do."

A Frenchman, an Englishman, and a German each undertook a study of the camel. The Frenchman went to the Jardin des Plantes, spent half an hour there, questioned the guard, threw bread to the camel, poked it with the point of his umbrella, and, returning home, wrote an article for his paper full of sharp and witty observations. The Englishman, taking his tea basket and a good deal of camping equipment, went to set up camp in the Orient, returning after a sojourn of two or three years with a fat volume, full of raw, disorganized, and inconclusive facts which, nevertheless, had real documentary value. As for the German, filled with disdain for the Frenchman's frivolity and the Englishman's lack of general ideas, he locked himself in his room and there he drafted a several-volume work entitled: The Idea of the Camel Derived from the Concept of the Ego.
