Logos and Agape: Civilization’s Foundational Theology 11

Logos and Agape: Civilization’s Foundational Theology

Theology: to most of us who’ve suffered from a modern Education it sounds like “Philosophy for the superstitious.” In reality it’s far more than that.  Theology isn’t some discipline intended only for the musings of celibate priests, any more than Economic Theory is something that only Professional Econometricians ought to understand – it’s so foundational that not only do our morals derive from it, but so too the very heuristics by which we judge morality in the first place. Quite frankly, it’s Theology that makes up the ideological DNA of all Memetics. Throughout the Manosphere and the Alt-Right there is...

North Korea, Nuclear War, Cyprus Crysis 2

North Korea, Nuclear War, Cyprus Crysis

An interview between myself and Danny de Gracia.  Excerpt follows: ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ The last few months have revived memories of Cold War nuclear tensions, first with Russian bombers spectacularly challenging our ADIZ in Guam and now with the brinkmanship going on between the divided Koreas. For a perspective on nuclear tension, political leadership in times of crisis (or lack thereof) and Armageddon scenarios, I took the time to connect with the author of the post-apocalyptic thriller As I Walk These Broken Roads Davis M.J. Aurini. In Aurini’s book, a future nuclear war gouges out human civilization and leaves survivors in an...

The Terror of an Iranian Flying Monkey

The Terror of an Iranian Flying Monkey

It’s a sign of our times that Tehran is beginning to look like a better Starfleet headquarters than San Francisco. On Monday, January 28th, 2012, Iranian scientists announced the successful launch and return of the capsule Pishgam (Pioneer), containing a live monkey who survived the trip; a significant step in the Asian Space Race. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland responded to the event in Washington, saying to reporters “We congratulate the ISA on this momentous achievement; I was overjoyed to see the pictures of the little guy making it safely back to the ground, and all our staff at NASA...

Portrait of a Dissolute Man 1

Portrait of a Dissolute Man

This is not a character assassination. This is not even a description of a specific individual. Rather, this is a captured zeitgeist, a Parable of our Age, a symptom of our present sickness.  Note that I said Dissolute, not Profligate (Caesar was always careful with his words); he is as much a victim as the rest of us. The Dissolute Man is not found in some movie studio, deep within the bowels of Hollywood, buried amongst the ancient tomes of memetic biology, manufacturing the contagion – far from it.  The bright lights of the Nightclub are what call to him. ...

Collapse: Long, Slow, and Permanent 7

Collapse: Long, Slow, and Permanent

Most writers in the alt-right/reactionary/androsphere seem to be city dwellers.  Certainly Apocalypse Cometh and Wimminz write from the urban perspective, and I suspect this is part of the reason they (as well as myself) tend to have such dire predictions about how bad the Decline is going to be.  In the cities, the cracks are starting to show. Forget about the violent crime rates – for those of us living in or near the Downtowns, it’s the subtle problems that stand out.  The debased standard of living amongst the lowest class, drinking cheap liquor in public parks, ever reliant on...

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...

Recap: The Collapse is Coming 3

Recap: The Collapse is Coming

It is the conceit of any Ideologue that he has a direct line on the Truth.  For your typical Talking Head, they simply assume that their opponent is an idiot – or perhaps misguided.  Those who are more intellectually honest might go so far as to admit that the Complement of their Political Shade have some good points; they might even admit to being ignorant on whether red or blue is most correct in any given situation. After all, they’re both playing on the same field. Here in the Reactionary Right, we don’t have that luxury.  Our stance is –...
