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 Real Jobs Crisis

The Real Jobs Crisis

It's not the overall employment numbers. It's the work force participation rate, particularly among men. While the administration touts low unemployment, American men are being forced out--and are increasingly opting out--of the job market. Though the continued importation of unskilled laborers from south of the border and H1Bs from the…

Between Scylla and Charybdis

Between Scylla and Charybdis

Partisans in both conservative and liberal circles are agonizing over why dissident politics is growing despite their best efforts to play gatekeeper and censor, respectively. One major reason is that normal people are sick and tired of being smeared as Nazis by both sides for holding positions their Christian grandfathers…

Berlin Interferes

Berlin Interferes

The sidelining of popular Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, which I mentioned in yesterday's post, appears to have been orchestrated by top EU oligarchs in Berlin and Paris.

The Politics of Post-Modernism

The Politics of Post-Modernism

The Z Man presents a brilliant post connecting the dots between the Enlightenment, post-modernism, and the Left's march toward nihilist chaos. Post-modernism is the 20th century academic movement popular in philosophy, the grievance studies and the humanities. It denies the existence of a universal, stable reality, insisting everything is arbitrary…

WrongWinning

WrongWinning

Despite decades of evidence to the contrary, some Conservatives and Libertarians still refuse to learn that they cannot defeat the Left by accepting the enemy's philosophical premises while scolding their own side for being too effective. In short, they'd rather police their erstwhile allies for wrongwinning than actually win. Freedom…

Autopsy of the Alt-Right

Autopsy of the Alt-Right

It's been almost two years since the Alt-Right imploded. The alternative right wing movement serves as a useful case study in dissident politics. One minute, guys like Richard Spencer and Chris Cantwell seemed like they were on top of the world. The next, it all came crashing down. When analyzing…

The Mass Media Fear Factory

The Mass Media Fear Factory

An off-the-cuff Twitter thread I tweeted yesterday has gotten a fair bit of play in the wake of the recent mass shootings. Basically, I saw everyone in my timeline freaking out as per their conditioning, so I thought a reminder of how keeping everyone in a state of fear is…

They’re Gonna Need More than One Exorcism

They’re Gonna Need More than One Exorcism

Even Jesuits are starting to realize there's no political solution to America's problems. House Chaplain Pat Conroy has done what somebody should have a long time ago and performed an exorcism on the US House chamber. The House chaplain has staged an emergency prayer intervention in Congress to cast out…
