A Better Model

A Better Model

This generation chart was brought to my attention on Twitter: On the plus side, this model includes Generation Y. On the downside, it makes the common mistake of identifying Gen Y with the Millennials. A closer look also shows the tail end of Generation Jones appended to Generation X, the…

The Vanishing of Ambrose Bierce

To call Ambrose Bierce a writer would be an understatement. This famous--some might say infamous--author, journalist, solider, and adventurer left a mark on American culture comparable only to the likes of Poe, Lovecraft, Greeley, and Twain. His Devil's Dictionary skewered official and media doubletalk a century before the politically correct crowd's…

Christ Is King

Christ Is King

America is still a Christian country--at least sentimentally--as a poll at Unz indicates. The two real shockers in these results are Christians' relatively low favorability numbers among Hispanics and their surprisingly high rating with Democrats. If more than two-thirds of Dems are honestly positive toward Christianity, it would mean that…

When Did America Die?

Each day, more people wake up to the fact that, "How can we save America?" is a pointless question. America is already a corpse. Many of us have finally noticed that it's stopped twitching. A better question is, "When did America die?" Was it last year, when Trump signed the…

The accelerating societal collapse seems to be the catalyst for this phenomenon, so it makes sense that much of today's nostalgia revolves around the High 90s--when most entertainment media sang their swan songs prior to hitting cultural ground zero.

Like a Lead Balloon

Like a Lead Balloon

As a vindication of yesterday's post, polling shows white support for BLM evaporating. The mainstream media have done their best to memory hole the previous collapse in support for BLM, when a sniper associated with the movement assassinated five Dallas police officers in 2016.

Devil Horns

Don’t Don the Devil Horns

Wherein I lay out the morally and rhetorically correct response to the Death Cult's demands for reparations. From Twitter:   To recap: The Left isn't after anything rational. They are a hysterical Death Cult motivated by moral posturing which reinforces their sense of identity. They reinforce the sense of moral superiority…

Moral Grandeur

Star Wars is dead, the Witches who've co-opted the franchise hate us, and you know my take on supporting such. That said, one of my mutuals on Twitter recently steered me toward an Orthodox archbishop's review of Return of the Jedi. This review was written during the movie's original run,…
