In my first video monologue in a while, I discuss the deteriorating state of Britain and explore some of the themes and symmetries in Cormac McCarthy’s works, No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. Is our future to be a dog-eat-dog state of nature? And did McCarthy embed allusions to the mythic barbarism of Meridian within No Country?
Moreover, what does this reveal about the trajectory in the UK, and who or what is responsible for it?
I haven't read either of the books, so I will only comment about what happened to you. Because your ire has been directed at the authorities and not the interlopers, this has given them very little to work with, hence the cock and bollocks that hope not hate had to invent.
The target is us and we know who is shooting at us. The interlopers are an issue that can be addressed later.
Blood Meridian is definitely a war novel. I see it as a book that displays what ultimately happens to white men with nothing left to lose in wartime. Before McCarthy died he released The Passenger and Stella Maris which disclosed his last thoughts about America and the world. Well worth checking those out too.
All that grifting online about "getting out of your comfort zone" is now coming without a choice. Stay well Morgoth.
