The PiP digest #3
Nothing to do with sex. Just naked politics
Personal
My Substack find of the week:
is offering a perspective for her readers:You Don't Have To Choose Between Happiness And Being Informed.
I can relate in more ways than I can say.I am constantly questioning the kind of writing I am doing and how it reflects on me.
I am an incurable optimist, fundamentally positive and always looking for common grounds. Yet, you would not guess this from my writing. No matter how many personal references I make in a blog with a tag line “politics is personal”, it isn’t really personal. It is about politics. Sometimes I wonder whether I should also write about my love for physical activities, of music, traveling and nature.
But “this ain’t that kind of blog.” In this respect, I see the world the same way Caitlin does: you cannot be truly happy on the blue pill. Trying to hide from what’s going on around you cannot lead to happiness either. You have to swallow the red pill, face reality and find your happiness in creating your independence from it.

The news of the week should be Putin’s speech best analyzed again, by Alexander Mercouris:

The culture war
The Tucker/Fox breakup is still in the news, but just like the war in Ukraine, its significance is far greater than the event itself.

Climate change
Who would have thunk! The climate crisis is also a globalist project:
Marc Morano Demolishes the Great Reset Agenda at the Heartland Institute's 2023 Climate Conference It is a great presentation, I will try to find the slides for future reference.
This excellent piece from @Eugyppius is just another example of the globalist nature of what may seem to the affected as just another local political insanity.
