The Inevitability of Conspiracy Theories 6

The Inevitability of Conspiracy Theories

“I have always said, the first Whig was the Devil.” ~ Samuel L. Johnson  (1709-1784) The terms Left and Right get bandied about quite a bit, and Nailing Down a meaning is no simple task.  Is it just a sort of shorthand for Conservative and Liberal?  Not if it has a coherent meaning; the parties can never make up their minds on what they want.  Seventy years ago the Republicans were the Big Government Moral Dreamers, pro-black to their core, while the Democrats where the pro-racist-union groupies.  Then Civil Rights happened, and everything turned on its head.  The Democrats became...

Zionists, White Nationalists, & Class War 15

Zionists, White Nationalists, & Class War

I tweeted about this a while back (I really didn’t have much else to say at the time)- but Vox Day’s article got me thinking… From the article I linked to: Youth gangs from the community of Sudanese and Eritrean refugees have in recent weeks been swamping Tel Aviv beaches and stealing bathers’ belongings, according to police. Most of the thefts have occurred on Tel Aviv’s major beaches. Authorities attribute the thefts to the increase in the number of refugees who have come to the city this year, and the lack of employment opportunities for them. And from Vox Day’s...

Combatting Cultural Marxism 11

Combatting Cultural Marxism

Cultural Marxism is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot, and like all such terms it tends to suffer from Adaptive Decay.  It therefore behooves me to write a Brief History on what the term really means. We start with Trotsky and the New Soviet Man. Communism in practice is a centralized bureaucracy with sufficient guns to carry out its plans.  They – the educated, chosen elite – unabashedly claim the Wisdom to direct all individual behaviour.  Their Scholarship, you see, has granted them Greater Insight into the human condition than any Priest could ever dream of. ...

The Intellectual Paucity of Historians 3

The Intellectual Paucity of Historians

The other day – Good God, has it been three weeks already? – I wrote what was probably the worst post I’ve ever tossed up on this blog.  It was utter speculative nonsense, with no solid bases in Historical Fact, I made no real attempt to cite anything in it, and despite it’s High Probability of Truth it’s nothing to be proud of. But you see, I had an ulterior motive in posting it; I am now going to use it as a vehicle to point out the intellectual paucity of most Historians. *** Back in the day, I made...

The Death of Militaristic Nationalism 5

The Death of Militaristic Nationalism

So the other night I was sitting in the dark, drinking my whiskey, rocking out to some Lynyrd Skynyrd, and just generally letting the thoughts bounce around my head, when something struck me- In the past two-hundred years, I can’t think of a single inter-state war that accomplished anything. On and off, I’ve been brushing up on my history with the Khan Academy – a site hosting professional University lectures, which I highly recommend (though, like University itself, you should take them with a grain of salt).  I’ve been going through the lectures on the French Revolution, and that’s what...

Linkage: Omnipitron Edition 1

Linkage: Omnipitron Edition

I’ve been meaning to get around to this for a while; not just for the inherent SEO benefits, but also because it’s the Right Thing to Do.  I’m ashamed to say it’s fallen by the wayside.  What with my busy schedule of harassing endangered species, getting drunk with my standup comedian–Literary Agent, scouting out sniper positions throughout the city, and yelling at myself in the mirror – I don’t get nearly enough writing done. So without further ado, allow me to introduce Omnipitron at The Phantom Tollbooth: One man’s journey through blended family, ADHD, and rampant Misandry; he recently wrote...
