  • Sex at work is wrong

    The trend of familiar sexual intercourse at work is concerning for some. “It’s the same as doing it in my living room,” one banking executive said to me. It’s disconcerting that he had to witness it at his level of work, but it’s a truism of today’s culture.

    There’s a lot happening that we don’t realise until it’s divulged. The nature of Journalism is shifting toward it, toward finding out home truths that aren’t known widely yet. This is the work of finding out the nitty gritty anywhere it’s found.

    The fact of sex at work is only after the matter. It’s always seen as a choice by developmental psychologists, and so the offence is real if it’s felt. It’s the substance of many workplace disputes. The arguments aren’t over who, but over the matter of it.

    The privacy of home life or a hotel room somewhere else is far removed from an office block. There isn’t much to hide if it’s the scene of sexual activity between anyone that works there. It’s going to play a part in the corporate culture, if not in the workforce itself.

  • Long Report: The beliefs of Fascist Estate

    Ken Gott, the assumed name of Fascist Estate’s leader, is believed to have written many letters. These were to secret friends – confidants he had made as a child and in his teenage years. It’s thought he grew up in a frantically radical environment. He and his peers saw the same kind of political activity. This meant their sentiments were similar and the letters didn’t draw attention. However, in light of his later efforts they’re important insights into his intellectual life.

    The persona of a leader is mainly seen now than discerned in the person themselves. The individual is still more important in extreme circles. They power the effort. The movement thrives off the activity of the soul. The letters of Ken Gott are part of learning about this. Those that have been seen show a stern outlook, unrelenting attitude, and unforgiving human nature. He isn’t kind or sympathetic to any suffering. He noted being unfeeling about healthcare or hospitals.

    The beliefs of Gott are more complex to understand. He had private pagan superstitions that ripped through is head from time to time, he once said to a close activist. This may be a sign of mental illness. The motifs may be personal but the intense feeling of them is probably a psychological dysfunction. The environs of Gott were described to be dark and foreboding. His meetings often had a momentous feeling that jarred for those investigating him.

    A poem Ken Gott wrote to a secret friend to illustrate his outlook.

    In one letter, he quoted a poem he wrote for himself. He said he used it for restraint. He also said he kept lists of sayings and maxims that made him feel less urgent. This gave him the peculiar quality of humility amongst others. He was admired for having a lighter bearing than others in their networks. He used this to his own advantage. He met many more people than most. He gained in authority in neo-fascism. He was able to buy in more security apparatus to keep himself safe.

    The beliefs of Fascist Estate aligned more closely to its interests than statements of dogma. For Gott, Hitler had said most things already. He felt ownership would be more significant than stating facts. He despised truth and hated church religion, as he put it. He was repulsed by “big Catholicism” and stayed away from intimate devoted settings. He didn’t like adherence. He felt it lacked substance. He admired home ownership but it soured as he craved for more. He wanted his group to amass holdings that would force people into surrender.

  • Is conservatism stuck in the recent past?

    A telling point about today is that it is indeed different from the past.

    It’s difficult for us not to argue this, if the argument needs to be made, although, there is a lot still present that speaks of our past.

    There is a bit of a misnomer about trying to define things, as if more things need to be said.

    It’s pretty clear what some believe by what they say, do, and, how they respond to what goes on.

    After a while, their reactions become second nature, almost.

    I am in no doubt how a developing story will affect the worldview – or narrative – of certain politicians; in absolutely no way, whatsoever. It’s not given to them to disagree with something that seems to affirm their worldview, or give in to a point that seems to contradict it, either,

    This is the case also with conservatives, who tend to stick to what they know, and ignore whatever they find contradicts their worldview.

    This is common in politics, when you’re trying to make an argument.

    It may be a politician has a point to prove, to a committee, or to another politician, or even a book to sell, and so on. In fact, their contributions in private and public dialogue will reflect this because it’s their politics as a politician.

    It’s not a case of a national debate, but ongoing point-scoring and rebuttal, that can make up the transitory career of someone trying to make a difference in life.

    If they are successful, or not, is another matter.

    I don’t think conservatism is ‘stuck in the past’, but it does have its own historic arguments to make, in response to overt triggering and point-scoring by leftists, who want to bring up all the old debates but without the lessons of the past.

    It’s not that conservatism has all the right answers, either. Yet, it has a presence, here, particularly when these issues mattered last time around. It proves that longevity has its benefits, still.

    While the ‘new’ and ‘improved’ struggles to fit in, other conservatives may look back in history for answers, as they too struggle over the same issues.
