Old Money

Old Money

Yesterday's post on my imperial platform gave rise to comment about the sticky issue of generational wealth. My take on the old money issue largely aligns with Devon Stack's. Our rulers' unprecedented power is the legacy of vast generational wealth their forefathers accumulated decades--even centuries--ago. Their inheritance gives them a…

Imperial Platform

A sage piece of advice is never trust anyone who seeks power. While I have never sought temporal authority, knowing the grave responsibilities and moral risks involved, a number of citizens of these United States recently acclaimed me emperor.

Afghan War

In Taliban Hands

Dominating the headlines as of this writing is news of the Taliban's lightning reconquest of Afghanistan. The collapse of American neocons' pet project in the lead up to the 20th anniversary of 9/11 once again shows that the Almighty has a robust sense of humor. For some perspective, here is…

Dead Internet

"All the fun accounts are gone." "This site used to be fun." "Their search engine is broken." If you've made any of the above complaints, you are justified, and it's not just you. The Internet is dead. The Dead Internet Theory is a loose term used to describe a range…

A Culture Rout

One of the first lessons folks in dissident circles learn is to hide their power levels around Left-leaning family and friends. It's not so much that they fear being disowned or ostracized, though both do happen. In many cases, having fewer cultists to interact with comes as a blessing. The…

Pill Pushers

Stare long enough into the abyss  that the Death Cult is hurtling us toward, and you'll eventually notice that political ideology is just a thin layer of scum coating the surface. Politics is, after all, the art of properly organizing society toward the greatest good for the most people. It's…
