Propaganda
The following video was put together by the North Korean government (see below) – a polity which I’m far from a fan of. Nonetheless it gets quite a bit right, and where it gets things wrong it’s usually along the lines of using the Universalist Narrative to hoist the United States on its own petard. It’s an hour-and-a-half, so clear the schedule, brew a fresh pot of coffee, and settle in. I recommend keeping track of the portions which strongly go against your grain – for instance, while I despise Quentin Tarantino for a variety of reasons (and endorse their...
Walking a True Path
Bill Gates, Africa, and Crusaderist Charity A knee-jerk suspicion of charity is only natural for anyone who’s studied economics; time and time again we’ve seen instances where it does far more for the Egos of the Donors, than the Welfare of the Recipients. Recently Hpx83 focused his sights upon Bill Gates in a pair of articles, and noted how the man’s actions almost suggest a desire to buy his way into Heaven: Now, I’m fully willing to accept that the Bill Gates charity-work comes from a genuine wish to help people and that maybe he just has a different view...
Humanism: An Ethos of Death
The Devil’s Advocate VS. The Grand Inquisitor There’s something compelling about movies with the Devil in them; The Devil’s Advocate is one of the best portrayals I’ve seen, and it leaves you with the sneaking suspicion that it’s not a metaphor; that at some point in the nineties this actually happened… only in the real world there was no happy ending. The plot follows a small-town lawyer who’s never lost a case (played by Keeanu Reeves), being seduced to New York where he becomes a high-paid gun for the city’s corrupt and broken rich, while his wife slowly goes mad. ...
Even the Police State is Crumbling
For those of you unfamiliar with this story (there has been somewhat of a media blackout, after all), Keoni Galt has the full story – including why it is that so many of us feel a knee-jerk feeling of support for rogue ex-cop Chris Dorner. But to describe it in brief – Chris Dorner was an ex-military police officer in L.A., until he was fired from the job. Which is kind of a nasty thing, to be honest – not quite as bad as a Dishonourable Discharge from the military (an Event which has quite the potential to undermine future...
Book Review: Enjoy the Decline by Aaron Clarey
Accepting and Living with the Death of the United States ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ Once again, Aaron Clarey hits it out of the park with his new book Enjoy the Decline: The Decline is coming. All the financial indicators show this, and the cultural degeneracy is equally self-evident. Our generation will not be as wealthy as our parents. But despite these grim times, it’s not only possible to survive, it’s possible to live well. Part of this is a change to your frame of mind: accept the fact that you’re never going to live in a McMansion (mortgaged to the hilt, a slave...
Linkage: War is the H Word Edition
Brought to you by Jamie Bond: File under “Buzz words are not strategy”: Perhaps the biggest problem of our modern day thinking is we have become so self-absorbed in concepts like “force multipliers” and “information warfare” or “calculated ambiguity” that we have neglected to pay attention to historical patterns and basic military necessity. This is what they think of your service to your country. At least this veteran’s still alive; please support him, he deserves more justice than that some scum bag journalist. For those of you who buy premade foodstuffs – you might want to consider cooking from scratch. ...
