Escaping the Hate Mob

The gradual but rapidly accelerating collapse of civilization has added urgency to the longstanding dissident debate over where to run when SHTF. Each day awakens more normies to the fact that they cannot coexist with Death Cultists who are busily imposing their inhuman ritual laws on the rest of us.…

Don’t Need a Weatherman

...to tell you which way the shitstorm's blowing. Over the weekend, the accelerating decline of online culture experienced a fleeting reversal with the return of Mister Metokur. If you're not familiar with the digital gadfly also known as the Internet Aristocrat, the Weatherman, Daddy, or simply Jim, he started as…

The Post-Pop Cult Age

Almost everyone reading this grew up under a largely monolithic American pop culture. Whether it's Baby Boomers' love of the Beatles or the multigenerational Star Wars fandom that originated with Gen X, anyone who came of age in the past several decades could easily navigate the pop landscape by several…

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.

Chasing the Puck

Chasing the Puck

Trying to jump on the latest big trend, what folks in showbiz call chasing the puck, is a misguided business strategy that all-too-many authors fall for.

Robot Fighters Return!

Robot Fighters Return!

One big disadvantage that dissidents labor under is a strong individualist streak. This affinity for rugged self-reliance is often bandied about as a virtue, but in a social climate where the dominant opposition's M.O. is to isolate, polarize, and freeze targets, that virtue becomes a vice.A few of the more…

Cults of Conduct

Dissident creators' invisibility to the movers and shakers in Conservative circles has hobbled right-wing advances in the culture war for decades. "Culture War" is frankly inaccurate, since a war presumes more than one side fighting. The wholesale capture of Western institutions by the Death Cult has been a cultural rout.Conservatives'…
