Interesting. Evil is a study worthy of revival - the Devil has had his subterfuge, it's time to dispute his disappearance.
I think that the modern concept of evil is that of material or psychological want, so the way to remedy it is through social programs and support groups. This is the left wing's conviction.
This was in the traditional concept but also included was the understanding that evil has a active quality with its own personality. It is an entity that works for evil ends.
The absence of, say, material goods may cultivate an environment conducive for evil but the evil itself has an additional quality. Examples of this had a big influence on Solzhenitsyn. Frankl also noted it in Man's Search for Meaning.
So evil is a thing beyond mere deprivation - many fine people have lived penurious lives, and many wealthy individuals have been low and unworthy people (although counter-examples can be found in both sections of society which is why Solzhenitsyn wrote that the line between good and evil runs through every human heart).
This is why snobs that say that "the lower classes" are all scum and socialists who say that a person is justified by poverty alone are both morons.
Here are some good quotations from the article:
Charlton explains
Sorathic evil as:
Tychonievich
describes Sorath like this:
...
For, according to Charlton, the world we inhabit is actually already Sorathic:

Sounds a bit like Jimbo, this Sorath character. Nevertheless, it's difficult not so see truth in the above formulation.
I happen to believe in the supernatural - being something of a foxhole convert - and I'm convinced there's more going on than that which meets the eye. The aids of the church are efficacious and the protection She affords essential. That they may seem silly to those addicted to rapid endorphin stimulation is a pity for them. I'm not the boss of them, nor am I The Decider, so I'll allow them what freedom I insist I have from them and let them roll their own dice. True, there is an obligation but it is not of a slavish kind.
Rene Guenon and Julius Evola are figures that Zipporah has mentioned before so that indicated the author's preferences.
Professor Bruce Charlton (the above is a commentary on his writings) is an interesting figure who is an accomplished medical doctor but a little marginal in the general discourse. Charlton did a Masters in English Literature as well, his thesis was on Alasdair Gray who wrote "Work as if you live in the early days of a better nation" - I like that.
Had to look up
Birdemicist - bit of humour there, watch the trailer.
Altogether, seems to be a Black Pill piece, and not something I'd be eager to dwell on, but it's interesting. The world has indeed gone
bizarro mad, and only God can save us. We are in a time of a failed harvest of souls. Perhaps this Sorath is the mildew on the crop - he certainly sounds like a useless c__t.
