Reading Deogolwulf brings me down.

When I read Moldbug I want to post quotes from him on facebook, but when I read Deogolwulf I want to just copy & paste his entries on here and pretend that his words are mine.

III. You must endorse the legitimacy of the result, or else be guilty of bad faith. But (you complain):
IV. The result is a disaster. Therefore,
V. You must endorse the legitimacy of a disaster about which you complain, or else be guilty of bad faith.

Hero sees his demise approach and he takes one last moment to display his contempt for death and says: "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlaþ"
