When the Laughter Died

If you paid attention to popular entertainment in the 80s and 90s, you probably remember the wave of edgy comedians who rose up as a sort of pushback against the allegedly staid Reagan era. Guys like Andrew Dice Clay, Denis Leary, and Sam Kinison were among a class of funnymen…

The Last Jedi and Fake Reviews

Who Is Trump?

Who Is Trump?

A favored parlor game among the punditry during the Trump administration is to spitball about which prior administration it most resembles. Trump's rabid foes have a fetish for comparing him to Hitler, but serious commentators limit comparisons to other American presidents. Early on, MAGApedes likened Trump to Jackson, but Old…

Boomer Solipsism Still Ruining the Church

Boomer Solipsism Still Ruining the Church

To no one's surprise, a generation of narcissists is surprised that distorting the faith in their image is making the youth flee in droves. H/t Rawle Nyanzi You didn’t misread that, I didn’t say irrelevant, I said RELEVANT. We’ve taken a historic, 2,000 year old faith, dressed it in plaid…

Baptism by Fire

Reader Durandel asks, Can we win with the leaderless, multiheaded hydra approach without at some point having a legitimate, genuine leader who is then martyred for the cause to trigger the Right into action?

Sheep Without a Shepherd

Sheep Without a Shepherd

A recent post elicited some black pills in the comments, so it seems like a good time to put the current state of dissident politics in perspective. There's a feeling in the air that the energy of 2016 has largely dissipated. Even staunch MAGApedes are wondering if they haven't poured…
