We’re Going International 1

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.

Book Review: Enjoy the Decline by Aaron Clarey 3

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...

Nepotism, Fight Club, and Playing Catch Up 2

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...

Shaming Culture 3

Shaming Culture

The Captain has a new post up, The Shaming of John Galt. The left uses shame and “shaming language” for one reason and one reason only – they are factually wrong, so they must “shame” what is “right” or what is real.  Since the left lives in a world that is not based in reality or the reality principle, they have to “change reality” and the best way to do that is to convince or outright brainwash people into thinking the opposite of what is true and the opposite of what is in their best interests. There are so many...

A Culture of Death 6

A Culture of Death

My mother sat there weeping silent tears, as I thought about those twenty families who’ll never again be able to celebrate Christmas. 26 dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School; 25 murders and 1 suicide at the hands of Adam Lanza. “One of your Facebook friends,” she said, wiping her eyes, “said that you ought to write something about it.” “I should,” I replied; except hpx83 over at Save Capitalism had already beat me to it: What is ghastly about this events is not the number of dead. Hurricane Katrina was ghastly too, but not in the same way. The reason...

What an Utter Disgrace 3

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...

The Corporate Coven 10

The Corporate Coven

I love having a job, i love working hard and having my own money. And i don’t feel sorry for the men who feel all down and hard done by from this! Any of us who’ve been around the Mandrosphere for a while have heard this refrain.  Arguments about the socialized artificiality of the modern workplace, the economic destructiveness of it, the Sense and Decency of traditional patriarchy – they all fall on deaf ears because women Enjoy Their Independence. We try time and time again to explain to these women that in the long run they were better off...
