When you come to the realization that modernity has failed, suddenly all of the assumptions based on modernity being good also fail. For example, we take it as gospel truth that drunk driving is bad, should be illegal, and should be brutally punished. The only glitch with that seems to be that it does not […]
Historical Note: In 1348, a great mind of the Florentine Renaissance, Giovanni Boccaccio, got to live The Black Death first hand. He survived and the muse sang to him dark music. So much so that he composed a work of short stories that were told over ten days while a fictional group of survivors self-quarrantined […]
Coronavirus: Dutch adopt controversial ‘herd immunity’ strategy Once enough people become infected, they develop immunity, and then future infections slow because the virus runs out of vulnerable people to which it can spread. The idea behind “flatten the curve” is that instead of exposing everyone at once, it makes sense to slowly expose the ones […]
We are fortunate at Amerika to be able to present the second installation of the exciting dystopia saga, Crosses & Double-Crosses by Clayton Barnett. You can find your copy on the Jungle River store, but first, read this week’s segment of the story, “No Mercy.” “D- Director Barrett,” she recovered quickly, “what brings you from […]
You come to Amerika for your daily high colonic of irascible realism and misanthropy, since at this site we begin our analysis of human failure with the “groups are self-deluding” axiom from Nietzsche. No one can promise safe space snowflake soy pajama happiness here. In fact, you come forewarned, knowing that around here we cast […]

Thanks to one of our regular readers, “Panic” has been translated into Norwegian and posted on what may be the leading website for the cerebral Right in Norway, Akroma. The translator posted the following statement: As the translator of this article I would like to be allowed to extend an invitation to the site of […]
Nigel Farage suggests coronavirus will make people less afraid of a no-deal Brexit Globalism means that we all go down together. Nationalism means that some might escape. This troubles most people, only because they want a universal solution where all are saved; in reality, only some can climb above the fugue in which most exist […]
My wife instructed me to participate in the local panic buying yesterday. Luckily for us, we already have a decent supply of toilet paper and this purchasing extended our cushion from one week to three. Since my mother was raised without toilet paper, I consider it just another item on a list of many. That […]
Perhaps one of the stronger arguments for a classical education including old school critical thinking comes from the need to parse statements by others. Textual interpretation of this sort is unknown to most of humanity because they lack the genetic abilities for it, but we can try nonetheless. We start with the most controversial statement […]
Germany to create fund to foil foreign takeovers after China moves The West begins to see that it faces a foreign power that has not stopped wanting to occupy Europe for the last few thousand years, and that they will attack us first with legal means that are made convenient by the nature of our […]
Some may wonder what is meant by the distinction between internal leadership and external leadership, and since it is vital for understanding the difference between modern government and traditional society, it bears explaining here. Societies emerge from fundamental principles which are selected because they can explain all others, for example, property. Let H3 explain it: […]
Dow briefly wipes out gains under Trump’s presidency, remains slightly positive since his election The Left wants some reason — any reason — to remove Donald J. Trump from office. His election interrupted their plans to import enough third world people to ensure permanent Leftist rule in the USA. They have no plans beyond that, […]
In every story, there must be a narrator. That narrator may be a main character, like the ingenue protagonist, or a peripheral character who accidentally spits out the blunt and concealed obvious truth. Someone must tell the story, and that will be the loneliest person in it. My story started out quite differently. It is […]
Amazon staff told to work overtime as virus hits When everyone stays home, the big winners appear to be the companies that deliver. The clown voters do not understand this or anything else of above moderate complexity, but the more you tax, the more you concentrate wealth because only the ultra-rich become winners. America had […]
Never let a good crisis go to waste: this sound political logic applies to all who wish to seize power. When people panic, they focus only on the threat as it appears in their daily lives, and are willing to trade off everything else in order to make that pain and fear go away. Human […]
Diversity will never be functional because humans require context. Things like heritage, culture, and religion serve as dictionaries for our views of the world, much like the “junk DNA” in the human genome serves as a library of possibilities. Another view of this comes through a voting by religion, with it clear that only Mormons […]
Amazon bans sale of most editions of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf While Rome burns, we are fiddling around with more illusions of human equality. The endless censorship makes it look like the Leftist Establishment has something to hide, which it does: it is failing. By censoring Nazis, Amazon has simply made Nazi material desirable contraband. […]
While agenda-driven leftist film plots are prolific, and rural whites are vilified as ignorant clingers, John Krasinski’s film The Quiet Place provides a refreshingly positive representation of rural white America. Set in a dystopian world, this film begins after most of humanity is already eliminated by alien-like predators which hunt by sound. The protagonist last […]

Modernity has a weird way of turning miracles into disasters. Refrigeration was a miracle of modern technology until the Bromine cannisters leaked, the NOx and BrOx Cycles were detected, and all of civilization feared for the stratospheric O3 layer. The reaction rates of ozone depletion cycles were fortunately attenuated beyond areas where Polar Stratospheric Clouds […]
Urban trees could cut extreme heat by up to 6 degrees Slowly, climate change unravels, without those bleating about it knowing that this is what is happening. Instead of seeing a global change in climate, we are seeing how humans everywhere are doing the same thing, which is to set up urban centers, concentrate population, […]
Consider the case of Prohibition. In the face of what seemed like a rising crisis, namely that modern people had become miserable in their cities and drank constantly, a public panic arose and prompted democratic politicians to inscribe a ban on liquor into our Constitution. Instead of recognizing that our government had failed and restarting […]
The first casualty in any civilization decline turns out to be language. Those who want to rationalize the decline instead of fighting it quickly change any term that can be used to illustrate that decline exists, and that instead of just accepting it and everyone, we must motivate ourselves against it. This means that we […]
Amazon ecosystem could collapse in less than 50 years Collapse happens in thresholds and plateaus like anything else, but this means that the drop from each plateau can be precipitous. When a certain amount of complexity is lost — number of animals, species in their niches, renewal of nutrients — a forest will crash and […]
