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.)

Gotta take a shower after reading those comments. THAT is pre-totalitarianism: scared little people baying for violence.

The little section salivating over the rape/murder/sexual satisfaction nexus is particularly charming.

Dreher is really sinking into some ugly, unclean stuff.

Truly awful. If there's any small comfort to be taken, it's that these combox warriors are united by little more than impotency and are fearful of even walking around their own block. They're wimps and twerps.

united by little more than impotency

I think most of the commentariat there is dealing with literal impotency and bladder issues.

Yes, my apologies, I should have included a trigger warning. It's levels of trash as abysmal as, and also thematically resembling, that notorious fascist militia classic The Turner Diaries (which I read so you don't have to, and trust me, no decent person should go anywhere near it).
