OnlyFans Dead

Winning the War on Porn

The generational shift against porn I noted a while back may have started bearing fruit sooner than expected. In a surprising announcement, the social media application OnlyFans said that they would no longer permit “sexually explicit content” on their site starting Oct. 1. The shocking news comes after the media…

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…

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…
