One way to view civilization collapse is to say that every nation dies when its marginal costs exceed potential profits. This means that each action is so encumbered — red tape, taxes, unions, corruption — that none of them are worth doing. At that point, people stop trying to improve things and simply make do […]
Most modern people will do anything to avoid realizing that all of the systems we have today for which we have unjustifiable pride exist only because the natural and organic way of doing things failed long ago. As someone once said of the Ten Commandments, “If you have to tell people not to murder each […]
What has gone wrong with humanity? No one seems happy and everywhere voices cry out for change, yet no one seems to know what to do except adopting more of the same. We are in a well and have no firm ground on which to climb to get out. This pattern repeats throughout history except […]
Imagine arriving at a courtroom and being told that instead of being “innocent until proven guilty,” you must prove your innocence or be convicted of a crime. Regardless of the good intentions behind them, laws like the Equality Act are bad law because they make us all guilty until proven innocent. For those who do […]
Conservatives like to believe in objective reality in the same way most people have chosen “science” as their new secular religion. This causes conservatives to say that the problem with diversity is that some groups are just lazy and do not work hard. Maybe that is partially correct, but it misses the bigger picture. Our […]
Conservatism existed before the French Revolution. Then we were simply those who reminded everyone that there were no new ideas under the sun, that particularized and local decisions mattered more than centralization, and that time-honored things existed for a reason. After the French Revolution, all of us who realized that equality was both not found […]
Humans encountered a new set of challenges when we adopted permanent civilization. Instead of flexible groups where the like-minded formed their own traveling societies, people were obligated to deal with one another. This brought about a new human technology: manipulation in order to motivate other people to do what needed to be done. To get […]
In further exploration of the Proto Indo-European Faith (PIEF), it seems that we must go back to the roots of spirituality, which is not “faith” as the moderns allege but pattern comparison. Whatever constitutes our world, it has one salient attribute that underscores all of our thinking: it is consistent. Gravity does not disappear on […]
~~~ What makes a crowd go insane? Society succeeds, and the goal is lost while enemies gather at the door and we focus on them instead of what we need, which is to focus on the whole of Us, or the civilization we have created. Consequently society becomes a manager, school-marm, and boss: it tells […]
Conservatives who are thinking toward the future instead of the past find themselves recognizing some hard truths. The first is that what we are doing is failing, and we have not escaped because we keep doing the same things. The next has us, as we look back over history to try to figure out how […]
Like everything else in dying Rome 2.0, conservatives have become inverted. They could not talk about their original purpose because it clashed with the methods of collapsing civilization, so they talk about everything else. This eliminated two important parts of conservatism: first, our acknowledgement of social hierarchy based in genetics, and second, our tendency to […]
As part of uncovering our culture — that of us Cro-Magnids — any writer will find that everything we have now serves as a placeholder for what we once knew and need to discover again. We know that the Indo-Europeans, who ranged the steppes and forests of Europe and Asia, had a religion of their […]
People like to talk about celebrities who are essentially people being used as symbols. We all feel good when even celebrities suffer from the same stuff we do, from baldness to halitosis and hemorrhoids or addiction. It confirms for us again that there is no escape from the humiliation of life. If even the golden […]
Since the dawn of my writing career as a gadfly on both mainstream and underground politics, essentially urging people to connect with realism and naturalism instead of human symbol, ideology, and emotion, the goal has been clear. I want to escape the horror of this time, which in turn requires ending the moribund civilization-type we […]
Since the dawn of humanity, our species has tried to get its act together enough to make civilizations that survive and individuals that are sane. The two are tied together, since a sane environment makes sane people, and vice-versa. All of these efforts have failed. Currently we are living through the failure of liberalism. This […]
~~~ Out there, the battle of the woke-versus-the-waked has just begun to play out. On one side you have the goodthinkers, the people who will do anything to rationalize the notion that their lives as they are right now are good. Rationalization means that you accept what you get and find a way to argue […]
Normies, also known as “goodthinkers,” are the people who will sacrifice everything in order to keep living in the warm hot tub where they can pretend that things are actually going well. In reality, this society has rotted away starting at its core, and so we are living in a pale imitation of Wester Civilization, […]
The problem with dualistic religions — whether spiritual or secular — is that they separate reality from ideals, and make us think that we are helpless until the light shines down from the clouds and God or Government intervenes. Our secular dualism holds that there are good ideas, and all good people obey them, and […]
Few will acknowledge the purpose of life. Even fewer understand it. This is typical among humans: we are masters of details, but vague about the bigger topics and goals. We would expect this from a species in the grips of rationalization. We can explain anything to our neighbors and friends if we did it “for […]
Interim President of the United States Joe Biden used language we have heard before when he spoke of a New World Order rising as the West opposes the Asia-Eurasia axis: “We’re at an inflection point [in] not just the world economy [but] the world that occurs every three or four generations,” the president said. “[A […]
Our greatest problem on the Right at the moment mirrors the problem of Western Civilization: we have forgotten what we are. Very few Right-wingers can even describe conservatism as a philosophy. They know vaguely that it means keeping tradition and values. Such things are easily subverted. When you give it a philosophical analysis, conservatism indicates […]
Amazingly, most of the complexity of the modern world boils down to a few logical propositions. Many people already recognize that we are slaves to a debt machine, since we are born effectively in debt and must work constantly just to live, then have most of that taken in taxes. Very few of them are […]
~~~ The normies are out there. I can hear them chittering. Like insects or rodents they make these little mouth noises, maybe grinding of teeth. They are nervous, ravenous… empty inside. Our modern world produces a void of the self. That is, there is a void, and it is created of the self. Being human […]
Most of human history — from our hominid origins through our plastic-wrapped enlightened modern era — has mostly featured individuals toddling toward self-destruction and taking down whole groups if they get enough power. Going back to natural selection, we see that in nature most animals are clueless, but over time enough of those get eaten […]
Those who have read us for some time here realize that we are conservatives only because we are Raging Realists® and therefore are excluded from the Left, for whom achieving equality matters more than consequences in reality. Part of Raging Realism means looking into the causes behind and beneath the political issues they bat about […]
