For those who are late to Crowdism and its effect on humanity, it makes sense to recognize that a new perspective is taking over in the years of democracy failing. We no longer look at tokens as real, or even as honest communications. We recognize the primal inversion: that people talk about what they wish […]
~~~ YouTube takes down Xinjiang videos, forces rights group to seek alternative We now can see why people think that Google works for China, having found itself thwarted at first but eventually buying its way in, sort of like the rest of Silicon Valley which depends on Chinese venture capital to exist. These technologies are […]

Utilitarianism — whatever most people say will make them happy is good — represents a type of efficiency. Instead of maintaining power structures, focus on what is immediately rewarded and later, in theory, attempt to improve that. Nature inherently rejects utilitarianism by imposing hard limits. What you and your buddies “think” will make you happy […]
Civilizations start out with strong culture and little government; as time goes on, and more problems arise, people decided that humanity must solve these problems with government, and soon society changes. People stop paying attention to reality, and start devoting all of their energy to conforming to what the bureaucracy demands. This influences their jobs, […]
The internet thrived because it was decentralized, lacking a center or controlling authority. Starting with the rise of smartphones in 2007, it became increasingly centralized, to the point where six companies control its content, and seem to be colluding on ideological imperatives. This gave rise to the Dead Internet Theory: The Dead Internet Theory is […]
Not just the Right fails to understand key Leftist ideas like pluralism and equality. Equality, for example, could have several definitions: Everyone lines up and gets one muffin. Everyone lines up and gets the number of muffins divided by number of people. Everyone lines up and has their muffin supply adjusted so that it is […]
From over at Occidental Dissent, the story of Jessica Reavis: One went ahead to the restaurant to grab us breakfast and the other got their camera ready. I had decided that I would tie my confederate battle flag on the barricades instead of standing in the roadway since the barricades extended out past the curb […]
The problems with National Socialism and Hitler should be apparent to anyone: from admirable motives involving protecting the German people, the Nazis made a Right-wing version of Communism that was unstable and therefore repressive, ultimately failing. Even had the war not come along, the Third Reich was headed for disintegration. It lacked some of what […]
From a recent autopsy of a gamed publication: Here is an account of one type of cheating that I am aware of: a collusion ring. Although the details of this particular case have not been publicly disclosed, the program chairs who discovered and documented the behavior spent countless hours on their analysis. The issues are […]
It will probably not please the underground Right, but I celebrate Juneteenth, which is a Texas holiday. I never liked the idea of chattel slavery, in which humans are owned objects, nor the idea of limiting human autonomy. By the same token, I can see how too much human autonomy leads to oppressive governments. We […]
Politics subverts itself because it works backwards: people choose a belief system that seems to reflect what they see, and then argue from that, ignoring reality in favor of winning the argument, convincing others, and changing policy. As is the case in many areas, it is possible to “win” and also lose, meaning that if […]
~~~ Pope Francis advocates for organization of workers’ unions Religion as we think of it in a modern sense may be a mistake, since it encourages people to act in order to send signals of acceptance so that they seem holy. Catholicism has gone full Communist, with Pope Francise supporting the unions who have brought […]
Politics depresses most of us for its lack of new ideas. You either side with the humans, or with reality, but after that your ideas get eroded by the need to appeal to special interest groups including lobbyists. Instead of fighting it out at the surface, or trying to manipulate a system which is biased […]
From an otherwise much-enjoyed source, a rant in favor of Christian redistribution tacked on to a jeremiad against capitalism: From a traditional Christian point of view, then, the main danger of actually existing capitalism is not that it makes people poor, but on the contrary that it makes them rich compared to most people who […]
Some object to the classification of Right and Left as order and individualism respectively, since they presume that the bipartite division of politics is like so many other things a phantom of symbolism and interpretation. In a more analytical state of mind however, the breakdown makes sense: we either ally with nature or with the […]
Since the dawn of time, many human civilizations have existed, even great ones, but all have perished. If humanity wants a future, we have to figure out how this is happening. As Plato noted, civilization moves in cycles from an internally-motivated youth when it seeks to do good, to a cynical middle age which is […]
We use the term fiction for any writing which is not “true,” or roughly corresponding to the world outside our human minds. Ironically, however, the metaphor of fiction often makes it easier to see what is true. Literature exists as a sub-genre of fiction, basically fiction in which someone learns something that improves their quality […]
~~~ New Jersey school district removes names of all holidays from school calendar Welcome to the natural conclusion of diversity: any holiday from any group will offend some other group, so we must remove all the holidays, throw down all the statues, and have nothing for our “culture” but money and equality. Diversity abolishes culture. […]
From this comedic article about the pointless activities of those without purpose in their lives. Mix up enough European ethnic groups, different castes, and trace admixture of other races and you get this type of genetic outcome: round face, neotenic features, and large ears. Traditionalists believe that the Cro-Magnid type was the original form of […]
Much of the internet seems up in arms over the fact that Leftists took the mask off and now openly call for White Genocide, starting with their declaration that Whiteness is bad: Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has—a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which “white” people have a particular susceptibility. The […]
You might count me among the Linus Torvalds fans out there, simply because the guy stuck to a vision, made it happen, and now that vision runs most of the computing devices on Earth, despite being based on 1960s technology developed by others. However, Torvalds went over the edge in a recent rant: But dammit, […]
Human history involves a few brave warriors who are willing to see the hidden elephant and tackle it, and then a whole bunch of others arrive or spring up around them who are lesser people. These lesser people operate by a simple principle: human social interaction is more important than reality, since this is how […]
If we had to summarize Leftism, which is basically egalitarianism, in economic terms it would a philosophy of externalizing social costs. Externalized costs refer to those which are passed on to society and the environment in order to allow an individual (including corporations) to make profit, including the profit created through lowered costs. Your local […]
Lots of commentary on the new article from The Wall Street Journal pointing out how BlackRock is buying up much of American real estate. The conspiracy theories fly, but the reality is more mundane, although its implications far more severe. First, what actually happened? The WSJ gives us an idea of a buying spree in […]
