Backsliding

Backsliding

Any honest man who's found his way into dissident politics will admit that seeing the Left-Right paradigm he grew up with unmasked as kabuki theater was one of the hardest red pills to swallow. With the exception of the Zoomers, every living generation of Americans was conditioned to support the…

Trekonomics

Robert P. Murphy points out that, not only does the post-scarcity economy portrayed in Star Trek not make sense, it's not really even post-scarcity. In reply to Brad DeLong, an economist on the Trekonomics panel at the New York City Comic Con, Murphy writes: In reality, DeLong is wrong to think…

Virtues of the Awakened Saxon

Kipling's famous--some might say infamous--poem "The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon" has gained a great deal of traction in dissident circles.

The Fap Cult

The Fap Cult

Regular readers will be familiar with the Pop Cult and the Death Cult. The Libertarian hysterics in response to rising Christian nationalist calls for a porn ban suggest we need a third entry in our unholy trifecta. For those who've just joined us recently, I and others have made the…

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…

Did It Get Stupider in Here?

Did It Get Stupider in Here?

The asylum inmates have been restless lately. It's like there's something in the water making people spout nonsense. Each passing day brings new revelations proving that Alex Jones was right after all. A major cause of the degradation of public discourse is the decades-old phenomenon of schools not only failing…
