We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day

“Everyday life is as important to understanding of what happens as are historical milestones. It might help people realise how little it takes for the society to find itself in a grasp of a toxic ideology and how gradual the decline can be, how unnoticed the erosion of freedom, dignity and moral strength.”

From this blog’s Adriana Lukas, in her moving and chilling account of an exhibition in Hungary, yesterday. Scroll down and read it all.

    These next few hours I am spending in prayer for the Irish…
    that they have removed any remaining blinkers & have wiped the scales from their eyes.
    A ‘No’ vote to the creeping EU hegemony & our total subservience thereto will give us idiots time to reappraise our apathetic dilemma & come to what little sense we have left.
    Political assimilation & rule by enelected bureaucrats on Festland Europa means our National Suicide.
    Anathema!

    That’s why the diary of an ordinary young Jewish girl is still in print.
