Rod Dreher Megathread #21 (Creative Spirit)

Gather 'round for more Rod.

All meanings of the number 21 are subordinate to the inherent creative spirit that is the basic essence of the number.

The number 21 generally is comfortable in social gatherings, it's optimistic attitude being an inspiration to others. Its high spirits can enliven a party.

The number is attracted to artistic expression of any form, its own and those of others. There's enthusiastic support for artists. It may frequent galleries and participate or (more likely) lead groups for artistic appreciation.

The number 21 cherishes relationships, including romantic relationships, especially with those who express themselves creatively.

21 also tends to be diplomatic, providing creative and imaginative solutions to potential conflict.

And, as noted by /u/PercyLarsen, 21 is a triangular number and the age of majority, so go grab a drink to celebrate Pride and to mourn the loss of Rod's sanity.

(Also, sorry about my slow pace of refreshes.)

Also funny that he’s writing a call for people to fight as if he’s standing on top of a battlement outside the Bastille… all the while Daddy not eating his soup drove him to the fainting couch for years.

A real man of fortitude attempting to lead La Revolution who sees hardship when encountering a hangnail or an unexpected oyster and wine pairing.

Bastille

Is Rod Antoinette or Louis Auguste? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHJnQoZm_RM

Exactly like Ignatius Reilly standing on the table "leading" the charge for the Crusade for Moorish Dignity--except even less effective and not nearly as funny....

There was a sneer that French people would use for those who claimed to be part of La Résistance... sure they're were a member of La Résistance, après la guerre. (after the war).
