The urge to remove things that offend, upset, or cause doubt seems to be eternal in humanity. New cumulative research suggests that trigger warnings backfire: A new Flinders University study has found that nearly 90% of young people who saw a trigger warning still chose to view the content, saying that they did so out […]
The same people who nagged you in school for attempting to have life experience instead of following the rules are now running a major political party. An interesting study from last year finds that most “educators” favor Democrats: Of the 437,783 campaign contributions made by educators during the 2022 election cycle, 84% supported Democrats. Among […]
~~~ I propose #YesKings day on November 11. Human herds cannot rule themselves; we need aristocracy in spirit and in leadership. ~~~ Government Debt is a Global Problem Not just federal, but state, county, and local debts are in play, and then there are the deferred infrastructure costs. Some kind of Chinese psyop caused the […]
People like to idealize non-solutions because those do not impact anyone directly, therefore are non-controversial. One such non-solution is “compromise.” People want to fence-sit, not make a decision, and instead dole out little favors here and there to all sides, essentially buying loyalty. However, this means society has no direction but inward! When you focus […]
~~~ Atlanta Wants to Bring Back A Far-Left Policy Popular Under Biden Atlanta wants reparations; instead of keeping the wound open, why not admit that diversity has failed and adopt reparations-with-repatriation for all non-WASPs? Irish go first. China and the US have long collaborated in ‘open research.’ Some in Congress say that must change They […]
We hear “the medium is the message” a lot in this modern wasteland, so it makes sense to look at the actual meaning of the McLuhan trope: An abstract painting represents direct manifestation of creative thought processes as they might appear in computer designs. What we are considering here, however, are the psychic and social […]
A book presents an interesting possibility: that America has a culture of defeat regarding racial issues, and therefore is slavishly imitating diversity because it believes it was conquered, probably during the Civil War and Civil Rights era, by ethnic others. Any time a nation experiences a defeat, it embraces a culture of defeat where it […]
Nothing recurs, or appears as if from nowhere, without having some utility, even if that utility fades over time. The ultimate test of any idea is time; if it does as well centuries after it is beginning as it did in the first decades, it has resiliency and ranks above competing ideas with shorter lifespans. […]
~~~ Portrait of SNP activist and sex attacker Cameron Downing finally removed from national gallery Non-binary he/they pronoun person use the threat of rape accusations to compel others into having a sexual relationship. At some point, we are going to have to talk about declining mental health in the West, which is not limited to […]
Most of the great kings are mostly lost to history because nothing officially happened during their reign, or what happened was so logical that it appears prosaic. A good leader anticipates and intervenes in events before they happen and therefore, has a boring biography. Athelstan, the king who created Britain, falls into both categories. He […]
~~~ Pakistan closes border with Afghanistan after dozens killed in overnight clashes Diversity does not work anywhere. Pakistan and Afghanistan are a patchwork of related tribes, each of which wants the others dead so it can rule. Houston’s LGBTQIA+ community rallies against removal of Montrose’s rainbow crosswalks Governor mandates removal of “political ideologies” from roads, […]
~~~ Suspended Labour MP says her ‘stomach churned’ when seeing colleagues waving St George’s flags Leftists are individualists. They hate anything but the liberated individual, similar to how religions do. All of these things are rationalizations designed to avoid accepting the reality of nature so that people can “feel” better. In natural reality, tribes that […]
~~~ Migrants who learn Gaelic will be handed Scottish visas under John Swinney’s immigration plans He thinks he is clever because so few of them will learn Gaelic! But he forgets that their co-ethnics will be the ones determining if enough Gaelic has been learned, since that is who is employed in the bureaucracy. Getting […]
Charlie Kirk got a ration of flak for saying that empathy is an illusion. Perhaps we can split some hairs to great learning: empathy describes a literal emotional state, but as humans use the term, “empathy” is bullshit. The normal human mediates everything they do through an emotional filter connected to a social filter. This […]
~~~ The End of the Race Hustle After being overused, the race guilt terms like “racist,” “Nazi,” “fascist,” “bigot,” etc have lost their sting because we have now seen that every group hates all other groups. Diversity is the problem, not whatever group you detest. Border Officials Still Struggling With Biden’s Legacy O’Biden was not […]
Someone asked on The Other Site if it was consumerist to amass music, video, and texts. My disappointing answer was that it depended on the goal of this collecting. This question presents a great illustration of categorical versus transcendental imperatives. That is, are the records, books, and video being collected in a consumerist way or […]
~~~ Cash-strapped Police Scotland spend big on ‘diversity’ training for cops Diversity is the easy answer, like fighting poverty or fighting drugs. It tackles a problem that is not a problem and can never be solved, and this justifies infinite money and power. Definitely much easier than catching actual criminals. Paper Chase: A Global Industry […]
In the recent form of America — created by the need to make enough money to pay off the high costs created by social dysfunction in the wake of the ousting of our WASP leadership — the goal was to have a fancy house in the city, new cars, lots of gadgets, and fad cuisine. […]
~~~ Asylum hotel provider makes £180m profit despite claims of inedible food and rationed loo paper People are making quite a bit of money off of the whole diversity immigration scam. SNAP recipients to see benefits eliminated thanks to wave of October changes Slowly we are cutting out the socialist benefits that fund the Deep […]
People are fond of saying, “We never voted for this!” Like most easy answers, this is a lie. What they mean to say is that they did not vote for this outcome, but they voted for the things that made it necessary. Consider replacement migration: Although fertility may rebound in the coming decades, few believe […]
A short guide to escaping the mental ghetto of modernity: Your thoughts you can know, but what others say is always manipulative. There are no shared truths, values, and communications and there are no objective, absolute, and universal interpretations of reality. Some know more than others and can lead. The rest settle for symbols, categories, […]
~~~ How Europe crushes innovation The unions staged a Heckler’s Veto. The Committee gave in and made lots of little rules. Costs went up. Now Europe makes little and cannot innovate because it is so expensive to fire people, therefore, it is also expensive to hire people. HUD demanding immigration data on all tenants in […]
We built the philosophy behind this site around the idea that the eternal human failing is solipsism, or an inability to perceive the world outside of ourselves or what is convenient for ourselves, and in groups this becomes what the libertarians call “collectivism,” or subsidized me-firsting. The old-fashioned term for this idea is “individualism,” which […]
~~~ Google lays off dozens of workers in Sunnyvale Tech is betting on a future recession, they say, but more accurately, they realized that they have over-expanded with H-1B and Redditard labor. Amazon/MGM removes all guns from James Bond digital posters on Prime The neutering of the West continues. Maybe they can use the squirt […]
~~~ The under-representation of white people on TV adverts is more serious than it seems It is a dogwhistle to extermination. Will the voters awake? Hint: they never do. Winners may write history. But Elon Musk has often complained that losers author the Wikipedia entry. Now conservatives are trying to change that. You cannot “fix” […]
