I've written at length about how Disney's Star Wars movies are nothing but hate mail to the franchise's core audience. After the precipitous second week box office drop suffered by The Last Jedi, I concluded that Solo would be the first Star Wars movie to fail outright. Professional comic book…

A Little Love Note

Friend of the blog Bradford Walker has clued me in to some encouraging developments in the unfolding #ConGate drama.

A feud that's been simmering between comic book reviewer Diversity & Comics and far left industry pros like Mark Waid recently came to a head. If you're not up to speed on this continuing saga, the short version is that D&C started a YouTube channel where he frequently demonstrates how SJWs…

Getting out of our own Way

Reader Durandel comments on yesterday's post: I’ve said for years the West is now entirely made up of infantilized generations. Civilization is built on the back of men. What are we to build with generations of perpetual 14 year olds? The authoritarian who shows up to whip these kids into…

If this Goes on

The Postmodern world isn't so much a world without rules as it is a place where there are no longer any widely recognized authorities capable of enforcing the rules. This situation didn't just materialize out of nowhere one day in 1968. At least in the West, disowning the authorities that…

Bringing Shame Back

While I expected two general types of pushback against my recent post that was (only tangentially) related to "This Is me", the volume and lockstep uniformity of those knee-jerk responses surprised me.

What We’re Really Up Against

Culture War Field Manual

Reader Heian-kyo Dreams comments: I don't watch much tv, but probably end up using some of the products with distasteful ads. I don't buy many Trad pub books, but I do buy a ton of indie authors (like you.) I'm not sure how else to contribute to declowing the world other…
