Where Christ is King and Mary Queen

The EU perfectly illustrates yesterday's post on the religious conflict shaking the West in their lawsuit against Poland and Hungary. The European Commission (EC) has announced it is commencing legal procedures against Hungary and Poland for violating the human rights of its LGBTQ+ citizens, which is not in line with…

The New Religion

The realization that our supposedly secular rulers have imposed a tyrannical new religion on the masses has begun to go mainstream. The past 50 years or so have seen a cultural revolution in western society comparable in scope to the Reformation. Most of us have known only that period of…

It's Dangerous to Go Alone

It’s Dangerous to Go Alone

80s parents stereotypically trashed video games as brain-rotting wastes of time. But the best games of that time did contain nuggets of wisdom, one of the foremost being "It's dangerous to go alone!" A notorious game mechanic of 2D era adventure games involved starting the main character without the main…

We Need a New Paradigm

For most of the people reading this post, the only political paradigm they've known is the Left-Right dichotomy.

Conservative NPCs

It's easy to forget in the constant churn of internet culture, but the NPC meme as originally conceived and popularized had no political content. The channers who came up with the meme used it to describe the majority of people who follow the crowd without reflection. Like the video game…

The World You Were Raised to Survive In No Longer Exists

The Boomer Black Hole

Another round of black pilling on Generation Z swept through counterculture circles over the July 4 weekend. The hand-wringing for the future was occasioned by this survey. Now, the takeaway some are deriving from those figures, that only about a third of Zoomers believe in God, is provably nonsense. What…

Delete Facebook

As I pointed out in the comments on yesterday's post, a hallmark of authoritarian regimes is their need to make everybody inform on everyone else. Facebook, the online marketing firm to which the state has long outsourced its censorship work, has now dropped any pretext of being an open forum…
