I start with the view that a suburban town is a community and not just type of architecture. People/families live their lives in these towns. So, as a community, it’s ability to survive/thrive is a function of its adaptability. If the future is going to be as tough as we think it is, then the question of suburbia really becomes: are suburban communities adaptable enough to thrive in the future (as in: becoming resilient communities). Given the advantages of the suburban landscape (land, surface area, security, etc.) has over rural/urban in many revival scenarios (post crunch), the only existential threat to these communities appears to be the from the global financial system — aka a foreclosure tsunami that decimates communities faster than they can reconfigure/change. I think that problem is solvable.

He could ask himself how he does it for jews. “The left” is only applying the jewish privilege template to “minorities”.

Auster also implies he and his followers are the only “intellectually serious movement to save the West.”

Only a deranged anti-Semite would think that a wealthy Jew ought to face jail time for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. Every intellectually serious traditionalist knows that a fine, upstanding gentleman like Roman Polanski must be defended and those with a “sick vendetta” against him must be condemned.

Actually, the German National Socialists tried to partly reform an increasingly decadent and weak German Christianity by ‘re-Germanizing’ it, by reinvigorating it, by putting the Luther back in to Lutheranism; see – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_Christianity
