SARAH HOYT: In Which The Guardian Wishcasts.

The Guardian – aka teh Grauniad – in homage to their amazing spelling, is nothing if not consistent.  The domain of international socialists, they continue the project the socialists started, after WWI, of convincing the west that it should be “post nation-state” or that in fact the “nation state is obsolete.”  What they fail to adduce is, in fact, anything that would convince those of us not of their persuasion to believe the same.

They start, mournfully by telling us that populist victories in a lot of countries are making it look like there’s a resurgence of a nation state, but they use language that assures us it’s no such thing, including referring to the Brexit as a national nervous breakdown – instead of a sane defensive measure to separate oneself from a Europe being eaten from within by unassimilated minorities – and resorting to the laugh line of referring to Germany as a bastion of European stability.

Seriously.  I laughed out loud.  Germany. Which has only been a country since the mid-nineteenth century, and which in that century and a half has been the fulcrum of two world wars, and had been broken in two for fifty years.

Like Sheldon Cooper, I’m sure teh Grauniad finds the Germans to have always been a comforting people.
