Empire came up in my piece on Wednesday, as the model that best describes foreign relations - at least according to that hippy dippy leftist, Henry Kissinger.
Imperialist nationalism routinely has me down, but I recognize that in my humanism I am in the vocal minority. The vocal majority loves state projects more than anything else - and so we have wars of empire all over, including this one with the UAE in Sudan - and no hope of anything better arising in our lifetimes.

good grief. i just opened Jung, and
“There is a fanatic orgiastic
self-righteousness which is just as base and which entails
just as much injustice and violence as a vice.
At this time, when a large part of mankind is beginning
to discard Christianity, it is worth while to understand
clearly why it was originally accepted "

Jung's metaphor for the unconscious is ocean.
unknown depths and power driving emotional storms.
