The Bloggist and his friend, Alfred Jarry, talk about the
new politics based on falsehood, xenophobia, nationalism, and isolationism and
the politicians who use falsehood and advocate xenophobia, nationalism, and
isolationism. They agree with Martin Luther King that, "True compassion is
more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which
produces beggars needs restructuring". Mr. Jarry suggests, “Take my
advice, whenever you meet any politician that talks about nationalism, globalisation
and isolationism and fraudulently claims to be showing compassion and
benevolence, or ought to be showing compassion and benevolence and
isn’t, keep your eyes on them and their henchmen and look for the exit”.
Despite his atheism and anti-clericalism, Mr. Jarry mutters lines from the
third Psalm, “Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the
teeth of the wicked”.
