On the Character of Conspiracy

A Moral-Cognitive Theory of Power How deep does the rabbit hole go? This seems to be the seminal question of our time. That conspiracies exist is self-evident. In the immortal words of Col. Gathers, “By the time God crapped out the third caveman a conspiracy was launched against one of them!” It is part of man’s nature to form groups, to create exclusive collectives, and to organize plans for mutual benefit. While it might be comforting to believe otherwise, there is no fine line demarking this quotidian form of socializing from more ominous confederacies. Criminals and businesses alike require oaths...

Do You Believe in God?

The answer is Yes; yes, and… Recently, somebody dear to me said, “You know, for all of that you talk about God, I still don’t know whether you believe in Him, or if you just view Him as some sort of metaphor.” Fair enough. “I do believe in God,” I said. “But it’s also so much more than just belief.” *          *          * This is the question that Prof. Peterson has famously refused to answer. Are you a Christian? “I suppose the most straight forward answer to that question is yes, although I think it’s – it’s – let’s leave...

On Trans Guys and Alpha Males

So there was this Trans Guy I was chatting with not too long ago. Told him I was going to hang out with my buddies, and he asked, “So, like – do you and your buddies suck each other off?” No, not exactly, I said. Mostly we just get drunk and complain about our jobs. Speaking of my job, there’s this guy I work with. Real Alpha Male type. Muscular, tattoos, likes to show you pictures of his infant son next to his lifted pickup truck. One day he asked me, “So what do you like to go by? Leo?...

The Cornerstones of Traditionalist Christianity

In a recent post I described the core nature of Gnosticism: Understanding the Enemy: Critical Theory, Radicals, and Neo-Marxists. In it I endeavoured to provide an intuitive understanding of what’s going on in the minds of those on the radical left. What their fundamental belief structure is, and how it drives their actions. Because make to mistake – what we’re experiencing is a clash of metaphysical worldviews. A clash of religions. The secularization of our society didn’t lead to an ‘abandonment of superstition’ as the liberal atheists hoped. It turns out that Atheistkult was but a minor camp within Christianity’s...

A Farewell to Niceness

One of the great silver linings of the past two years is that it’s become abundantly clear who is thinking for themselves, and who is wilfully immersing themselves in the illusions of the demiurge. Who it is that we can build meaningful relationships and community with – and who is worshipping power, conformity, and the god of this world. It’s Manichean. The spiritual issues bankrupting the West have finally manifested themselves into a physical sacrament of despoilment.

The Matrix Resurrections: Pulse of the Zeitgheist

If the video doesn’t embed, you can click here to watch it on Odysee. My review of the new Matrix movie, Resurrections. This movie’s getting a lot of hate – but I’ll be honest with you folks, it’s pretty darned good. It not only redeems the second and third – it’s arguably far more intelligent and nuanced than the first. More importantly, it makes a profound statement about where our zeitgheist is at – and brothers, it’s all good news.

They’re Down Here For Our Souls

A guest post by Blato Oh DeannaSweet DeannaWell, I ain’t down here for your moneyI ain’t down here for your loveI ain’t down here for your love of moneyI’m down here for your soul The above chorus is from a Nick Cave song entitled, Deanna.  Cave describes the song as a sort of ‘devil at the crossroads’ song.  The song is inspired by a childhood friend of his who had an abusive father.  Given that they were eight at the time, it’s not hard to fill in the blanks of what the song is about.  Children don’t think with subtly. ...

Triggering the Triggerable: Vaxx Mandate Edition

As I and many others have pointed out, you do not comply your way out of a democratic tyranny. We are currently suffering a mass hysteria, or a mass formation, as identified by Dr. Mattias Desmet, right before the onset of the pandemic, and as described by After Skool & Academy of Ideas in this video: C.S. Lewis described the unrelenting horror of a tyranny performed “for one’s own good”: Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent...

Understanding the Enemy: Critical Theory, Radicals, and Neo-Marxists

James Lindsay of New Discourses has been doing a fantastic dive into the philosophy of Neo-Marxism over the past couple of years, trudging through their many obtuse essays, and explaining what they mean by their slipper language. However it’s a project that some might overlook due to the sheer verbiage which our opponents bring to the table. Critical Theory is a den of linguistic vipers, who never say what they mean, and embed their abhorrent philosophies in mendaciously pleasant terms. And as if that’s not bad enough, when sane people do bother to pay attention to their theories and plans,...
