SMRT Stories: Reprise

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…

The Nostalgia Trap

The Nostalgia Trap

Author David V. Steward was gracious enough to invite me on his Writestream last night. The impetus for the episode was this post, which has caused something of a sensation among Generation Y readers. What strikes you most whenever you get Ys to open up and discuss the past is…

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…

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…

With Brandt as my Witness

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…

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.…

Presupposition

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…

The Corporate IP Death Cycle

The Corporate IP Death Cycle

As a fitting follow up to yesterday's post about how shortsighted corporatism killed American comics, YouTuber David V. Stewart recommended his insightful video The 5 Phases of Corporate IP Ownership. In his video, David breaks down the corporate decision making process that runs franchises across all media, not just comics,…

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…
