Puritan


"Puritanism descended on England like a hoarfrost" - Weber



The hatred of mess, the brushing away the relics of death
- this is puritan.   To despise imperfection, is inhuman.
To judge constantly, interminably, whether something is clean or good enough,
is puritan. 

It is not of the faith.  It is definitively faithlessness.

It is normal in England to judge like this
for there is nowadays a Great Taboo about Death in this country.
It is also normal to be 'contrary' here, so lots of disingenuous
people running around - 'crusties'  who pretend to be pagan
almost always a cover for inner puritanism - you should see Stonehenge
at solstice. Its not just a spectacle for social anthropology, but
an eye opener onto whats out there.  For puritanism happened in England
with an excess unlike anywhere else.

That's why I abjure the left, or the 'protestors'. 
They are essentially rejecting the world as not good enough, people
as not good enough, reality, all not good enough and this
'problem' is solvable only by their politics. (after leaving
their perversion of religious faith behind them).

The great myth of Protestantism is that it was original.
Nothing about it is.  It is an innovation on a bare aesthetic. 
It is a modification by taking away something.
Its modification was no more than one of notional temperament.

Temperance is the same as northern providentialism.  Store things
away, you may need them later, for it is cold here for too many moons
before springtime.
