The Marxist Left and the Nazi (or neo-Nazi) Right are both committed to the worldview of historical materialism, only two different branches of it. Marxism adheres to socio-economic historical materialism (human history as class struggle), Nazism to racial historical materialism (human history as genetic competition).

Historical materialism in both manifestations is a deterministic worldview, antithetical to human free will. The denial of free will is a heresy according to Judaism and some Christianity (but on this I’m as far as possible from being an expert, so I apologize if I’m talking rubbish); in contrast, it is a staple of Islam.

(The Jewish worldview could be called theocentric nationalism–human history as the history of nations [not races] and how God, the Creator and Lord of history, relates to them.)

Yeah, excellent tits too.

Coming from a family where there is no question of whose we are– a woman who’d last seen my mother in high school, 30 years prior, got my attention by yelling “Hey, (mom’s full maiden name)’s daughter!” and our family pictures from several generations ago sometimes have folks accusing us of digital editing– it’s kind of cool to see someone else with a strong family resemblance!

…It makes you realize how un-random we are.

The small, apparently random differences can be important.

Bette Midler has always struck me as unattractive and abrasive to the point of nastiness. Sophie radiates a kindly, individual beauty.

3. If cosmetic surgery makes people feel and look better, I’m all for it. My advice: Sophie, don’t even think about modifying your nose.

That reminds me of the original Back To The Future: McFly pé¨re et fils sitting in the malt shop, still unaware of each other but nevertheless making the same gesture of leaning their heads on the table, putting a hand on their heads, and rising the same way when Biff opens the door.

I had no idea such a scenario existed in real life as well.
