Projected Sexual Dystopias

Let me start off by saying that I’m a Spiritual Optimist, and a Material Pessimist. The Dual Pessimist is a boor to be around.  The Dual Optimist is a Sanguine Fool, who begins large projects but never completes them.  And as for the Spiritual Pessimist/Material Optimist?  These are the natural slaves of the world, boors who never dream bigger than their corporate job, but think you’re being a Negative Nelly for pointing out how badly run the company is, regardless of whether you’re offering solutions or not. Me?  I dream big – I pursue the projects that most people think...

Bill Burr on Bankers

“So you tell me – am I sounding crazy or am I making sense?” Let me remind you, Bill Burr is a stand up comic who rags on bratty women – and he’s talking about bankers.  Glad to hear he knows about Iceland. Add in the SSRI Bomb when the Depression really hits, and you wind up with this. Interesting times, folks, interesting times. ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ My novel My Twitter

Accepting Vampires for Whom They Are

This is a post about how liberalism and tolerance ruin everything.  It’s also a post about a webcomic titled The Order of the Stick, so I’ll need to take a moment to describe it to you. OotS is a masterful work by Richard Burlew, set in a universe governed by the laws of Dungeons & Dragons.  The comic’s not only hilarious, but it’s full of high drama, as well.  Burlew manages to take the cartoony nature of the good/evil alignment system and create complex, deep characters out of it, villains with understandable motivations.  The comic can go very dark at...

The Past Just Ain’t What it Used to Be.

The Root Cause of Feminism One of the things that really stands out about Reactionaries – whether you’re talking about Wagner, Stoddard, or Mencken – is their ability to be downright prescient about the future.  Where areas most predictions are based upon of self-serving and unsubstantiated political faiths, the True Reactionary makes a Mistress out of truth. Nowhere is this more obvious than with the anti-suffragettes. All of the problems with feminism which we articulate in the Manosphere today were thoroughly delineated by Reactionary writers a century back: The foolishness of women voters (“sexy” presidents and socialism) Dropping birthrates Old...

We’re Going International

A conversation between myself and the Observer Watches, a man from Singapore who’s doing his best to enjoy the decline.  Everywhere you look around the globe you see the same effects, from different proximate causes.

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...

Nepotism, Fight Club, and Playing Catch Up

Playing host to a Bunch of Lunatics winds up being pretty-much a full time gig (even with the lovely Alpha Unit doing all of the cooking); while I’ve been fairly active in other places, I haven’t been keeping up with telling you guys about it.  So right off the bat, a couple of linkages: Danny de Gracia and I had a telephone interview about Internet trolls, and how new-media (blogging, wikipedia) is changing the face of news and information.  Check out the transcript here, with a link to the audio. Captain Capitalism and I had a long conversation about the...

Too Much Trust of Doctors

Bill Powell explains the explains what the 23 Executive Orders mean for you: 16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes. Did you know that the AMA is one of the largest anti-gun establishments in this country? Personally if I had a doctor ask me about guns in my home, if I could control myself from bashing the bastard in the face, I’d walk out without paying. Just another good reason to stay away from these quacks. Allow me to coin a new term, “Credentialism Creep”: Credentialism is a...

What an Utter Disgrace

From CNBC: Hoffa, whose father, Jimmy Hoffa Sr., was one of the nation’s most famous labor leaders and disappeared in 1975 in Michigan, denounced Republican leaders in a speech to the protesters. “Let me tell the governor and all those elected officials who vote for this shameful, divisive bill — there will be repercussions,” Hoffa said. “Some day soon, they will face the voters of Michigan and they will have to explain why they sided with the billionaires to back this destructive legislation.” … About 12,000 people converged on the Capitol to protest Tuesday’s vote. Michigan State Police Inspector Gene...
