Mall Culture

Mall Culture

A classic post from the archives reprinted for new and long-time readers alike. It's surprisingly difficult to explain to people born after the 1980s just how central the local shopping mall was to a community's social and economic life. I remember when social conservatives would lament that nobody went to…

The Clown from INCEL

Is the new Joker movie from Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix a call for incels to rise up? Is it a troll by Hollywood to make the dissident Right push Antifa agitprop? Or is it just another cape movie with a drawn out origin story bogged down by try-hard realism? You…

With Brandt as my Witness

The sentencing of Dallas police officer Amber Guyger for the murder of a Caribbean immigrant in his home has become another media-administered ink blot test. Guyger was sentenced in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday by the same jury that convicted her a day earlier of murdering Jean.  The 31-year-old was off…
The Place of Wind and Ghosts

The Place of Wind and Ghosts

The spooky season is almost upon us, so the time seems right for a good old-fashioned ghost story. In keeping with Kairos tradition, this tale recounts actual events. Back in my days working for the local cinema chain, there was a Chinese restaurant tucked into the same shopping center as…
The Conservative Case Against Conservatism

The Conservative Case Against Conservatism

Anybody with half the awareness of a sea cucumber knows the sole purpose of establishment conservative orgs is to deny anyone who might mount an effective resistance to the Left a platform. National Review under William F. Buckley's reign used to fill this same role. But even the Buckleyites have realized…
The Marvel Heresy

The Marvel Heresy

Another day, another beloved IP despoiled by woke corporatism. Last night, Mister Metokur broke the following cringeworthy yet inevitable news: Read more on the impending Marvel heresy here. The second paragraph is the most telling, as it's an unabashed piece of brand management. It's Marvel's megacorp owners trading on the…

Witchcraft Makes You Stupid

Witchcraft Makes You Stupid

As I've told the commenters here many times, I'd been hoping that a Death Cultist would finally be dumb enough to try and beat the Witch Test. Thanks to author Bradford Walker, my hope has been rewarded. Bradford kicked off the proceedings by administering the test to a TDS-afflicted Leftoid.…

One for the Books

The record-smashing crowdfunder for Combat Frame XSeed: CY 40 Second Coming has reached its triumphant conclusion. Thanks to you, the backers, this third campaign surpassed even my lofty expectations. When I began receiving inquiries about the third XSeed Indiegogo campaign on a more or less weekly basis, I knew that…

Presupposition

If you've been reading this blog since at least the beginning of this year, you're probably aware of what I call the Witch Test. Social media these days is rife with concern trolls who shill for Death Cult shibboleths while using Christian doctrines as handy clubs to browbeat Christians. Sometimes…
