SMRT Stories: Reprise

My earlier post on SJWs cannibalizing the once-mighty White Wolf Publishing occasioned a friend to recommend the 2004 video game *deep breath* Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Having lacked a PC capable of running the game back then, I missed it the first time around. I wasn't the only one, either.…
Yes, An Actual Cult

Yes, An Actual Cult

In case anyone still thinks I'm indulging in hyperbole when I call the Left a fanatical Death Cult, let's compare their practices to pioneering psychologist Robert J. Lifton's methods that cults use to brainwash people. Lifton called the following mind control methods Thought Reform. If that strikes an eerily familiar…

A Lonely Existence

A Lonely Existence

Once again, author David V. Stewart incisively unpacks the deeper spiritual and cultural implications of a recent viral post. Though he blurs the line between Gen Y and the Millennials--understandable for SEO reasons--the clear differences come through in his video. Note to Boomers who pontificate, "'Gen Y' is just a…
Something Else Was Watching

Something Else Was Watching

You've all been very good, so here's a second spooky story to follow yesterday's cautionary tale. This account was reported to me as fact by the same uncle who related this story. My family once owned a sizable tract of land situated in and around a deep, wooded hollow. Glacial…
A Gen Y Tale

A Gen Y Tale

Scott came into the world in 1982. His Boomer parents both worked full-time, so throughout his formative years, his days were spent in the custody of hired sitters, then daycare centers, preschool, and finally public elementary school.

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…
