Kabuki Theater

Kabuki Theater

Those who've made their way into the counterculture must admit that seeing the Left-Right dichotomy unmasked as kabuki theater was one of the hardest pills to swallow. With the exception of the Zoomers, every living generation of Americans was conditioned to support the Red Team against the Blue Team or…

Witches - Ed Dutton

It's always encouraging to see more people catching on to the evil influence of witches. Dissident blogger the Z Man joins the swelling ranks of witchfinders in the latest episode of his popular podcast.

Shooting Up

A striking phenomenon increasingly on display as the generation raised by Nickelodeon turns 40 is the redirection of man's natural religious impulse to pop culture artifacts. A while back, I termed those who make idols of action figures, comics, and video games the Pop Cult. The reason Generation Y is…

World of Darkness

Those who've followed my writings for a while know I'm an avid tabletop gamer. I even made my own role-playing system for Combat Frame XSeed. Unlike many in the #PulpRev and adjacent literary movements, I didn't cut my teeth on old-school D&D. My induction into the hobby came in high…

Abrahamic Covenant

Contracts v Covenants

Yesterday's post on Gen Y's default transactional view of relationships drew comment from Ys who inadvertently proved what they sought to refute. It's understandable. As most commenters noted, Gen Y's upbringing by Boomer parents who tried to buy their affection instilled them from the start with a quid pro quo…

Transactional Generation

The Transactional Generation

A frequent topic of this blog that has, rather surprisingly to me, caught a great deal of reader interest is the ongoing project to map the contours of forgotten generations. These are the cohorts who've been memory holed since Madison Avenue no longer finds them profitable to advertise to. Also…

Regular readers know I'm always on the lookout for new cultural insights. To that effect, a recent Twitter thread just caught my eye. This thread resonates with a post I wrote earlier this year about the same phenomenon. The only difference is the decade. If you want to gauge how…
