Another Health Scandal Courtesy of Socialized Medicine

EDMONTON – The Wildrose party is calling on the province’s auditor general to investigate allegations that Alberta Health Services bought an estimated $10 million worth of computer equipment and left it in storage for 17 months before it was used by employees. The allegations, which were by AHS, are contained in separate letters sent to Health Minister Fred Horne and Premier Alison Redford by an unknown whistleblower. Source: The Edmonton Journal Despite having a next-to-zero calorie intake of MSM news, it seems as if I’m inundated with stories of failures in the Canadian Healthcare service.  Just a couple years ago,...

2014: The Year We Start Building

Just as RooshV predicted, 2013 was the year we went mainstream.  The ABC 20/20 debacle and TechCrunch‘s article on the Neoreaction are object examples of that, but throughout the media we’ve been seeing terms that originated with us filtering out into the wider culture. Folks, we have arrived: we’ve figured ourselves out, we’ve established our community, and we’ve demonstrated our ability to impact the narrative. “First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they attack you – and then you win!” This is the year where they attack; this is the year where we start to build. When I...

Incentive Systems & Politics: Part 2

Summary of Part 1: The goal of government should be the physical, emotional, and spiritual betterment of Man. Democracy selects for the government people want, not the government they need. Parasites find niches between the electorate and the politicians, distorting even the best incentive system. Now on with the show: Section 3: Finances and Fundraising Limiting the amount politicians are allowed to spend on campaigning would remove the distraction of having to be a continuous fundraiser; and would meant that politicians wouldn’t have to balance serving the people, and serving the people who can fuel their campaigns. They begin with...

Incentive Systems & Politics: Part 1

A Response to Extra Credits Introduction As a game designer, James can’t help but think about how broken our political system is.  And by broken, I don’t just mean it’s busted; I mean it’s broken in a Game Design sense.  The underlying rules and incentives which govern our politics are just wrong.  They’re completely out of whack. If you’re not already familiar with it, Extra Credits is a web-series focusing on the video game industry; they cover everything from the development, to the marketing, the design, the social impact, and even the different themes that games explore.  It’s a series...

4 Reasons Not to Date a Girl With an Eating Disorder [Return of Kings]

Note: you may remember my post on Why You Should Never Date a Girl With an Eating Disorder from a few weeks back; this is not a retread, it’s a different spin on the same premise. Several weeks back, Brother Tuthomosis posted an article titled 5 Reasons To Date A Girl With An Eating Disorder. Although it was meant as a ribald jest, many voices came forward to protest the insensitivity displayed by Return Of Kings. We simply cannot be so insensitive, men; our brethren sistren of the Demisexual & Otherkin genders are sensitive souls, and it is incumbent upon us...

Anarcho-Tyranny’s Left-wing Roots

Whatever else you might say about Sam Francis, you can’t deny that he nailed it with the term Anarcho-Tyranny: “we refuse to control real criminals (that’s the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that’s the tyranny).” Must I defend his assertion? The present legal climate is incredibly hostile to the decent, moral people (I want to say “law abiding” but following the law is nearly impossible these days), and anybody with a lick sense is looking over their shoulder, ever wary of Officer Friendly.  Brutes and layabouts populate the streets, graffiti is everywhere, and the only thing keeping the murder...

Sunday History Lecture: The Growth of Islam

Pour yourself a coffee, and sit down to learn yourself some History from Dr Bill Warner this fine, Sunday morning. 91% violence, 9% peace.  Honestly, this shocked even me. Facts: I’m just a Fact Man. File under “Religion of Peace.” H/T: Theodore Dalrymple Forum

There Will Always Be a 1%

In Prasie of the Robber Baron “We, the people…” Dark words, those.  Good seldom follows them – however elegant the parchment might be. They appeal to our basest instincts. “We, the people…” What, you mean my people?  Of course!  My Dunbar Tribe – the 100-150 people whom I can feel empathy for.  Within our tribe there’s status and privilege, of course – the Old Man has the nicest car, the Young Wolf is dating the hottest tail – but all those differences are earned, aren’t they?  And at the end of the day all of the pack members are provided...

Reverse Racism [Video]

The argument that “Blacks can’t be racist, only those in power can be racist-” is not only anti-white, it’s anti-black as well.  It’s the sort of left-wing victim ideology which only manages to bring the Black community to deeper levels of depravity, to demand even more succour from the state. The following is a response to TJ Sotomayor, but as I’ve said before, I have no interest in YouTube debates; this is a video which stands on its own. Heavily informed by Obsidian’s writings at Just Four Guys. Click the video to subscribe to my YouTube channel. A response to...
