This weblog averages about 1,350 page views per day.  But yesterday it snagged 10,695 views, and now at 6:20 AM local time it has already racked up 3,200 or so.  What explains this?  Reddit got hold of my Zappfe post, scroll down a bit, and that must be driving the surge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps we philosophers need to pay more attention to anti-natalism as a cultural phenomenon and as a component in der Untergang des Abendlandes<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are losing the will to perpetuate our civilization and its values.  Christians in the Middle East are being slaughtered and their churches pulverized by Muslim savages.  So what did Pope Francis say in response to Donald Trump's call for a wall along the southern U.S. border?  We don't need to build walls, but bridges.  Francis the fool is one dope of a pope.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evangelicals understand this, though they are too polite and politic to put it the way I just did.  This is why, mirabile dictu<\/em>, so many of them support Trump, the nasty sybarite of Gotham who builds casinos to the greater glory of Lust, Greed, Gluttony, and Lady Luck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point of logic:  'Muslim savages' does not imply that all Muslims are savages.  Or do you think that 'deciduous trees' implies that all trees are deciduous?<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE 2\/27<\/strong>:  Traffic settled down a bit yesterday with a mere 4,509 page views.  It should get back to normal over the next few days.  As every conservative appreciates, the 'regard' of fellow mortals is a decidedly mixed blessing.  I am quite happy to bump along at 1, 500 page views per day.  Obscurity is bliss and he who craves fame is a fool.  Fame is conferred by others and the quality of these others is a good measure of the value of fame.<\/span><\/p>\n
