Icelandic Media Blackout 7

Icelandic Media Blackout

Have you heard any news from Iceland in the past two years?  I sure as heck haven’t – nothing since their currency crashed.  It turns out things are getting interesting there (hat-tip to Texas Arcane).  From the link: ICELAND. No news from Iceland?… why? How come we hear everything that happens in Egypt but no news about what’s happening in Iceland: In Iceland, the people has made the government resign, the primary banks have been nationalized, it was decided to not pay the debt that these created with Great Britain and Holland due to their bad financial politics and a...

The Corporate Coven

I love having a job, i love working hard and having my own money. And i don’t feel sorry for the men who feel all down and hard done by from this! Any of us who’ve been around the Mandrosphere for a while have heard this refrain.  Arguments about the socialized artificiality of the modern workplace, the economic destructiveness of it, the Sense and Decency of traditional patriarchy – they all fall on deaf ears because women Enjoy Their Independence. We try time and time again to explain to these women that in the long run they were better off...

It’s an hour long, folks; brew yourself a pot of coffee, turn up the volume, and do some house work. Critical G’s channel. Fringe Elements, Leftism is the inheritor of Christianity. My novel, As I Walk These Broken Roads – link on the right. Yes, that is snow you’re seeing outside my window; winter is coming.

Sunday Funday: Take my wife – please!

Captain Capitalism describes the latest economic bubble, Chinese rot, and European masochism.  He’s also put together a book of his best writings – I’ve got my copy, I’ll be reviewing it soon. Climate change?  Global Warming?  I’ve got your climate change right here, bub, and it doesn’t look like the Medieval Optimum. The Mandrosphere is not dying; it is an ever flowing river.  A new game/lifestyle/fitness blog is up, thank you for putting it together, Frost.  Expect to see me contributing to it from time to time. Oh, look, a sociologist found exactly what they wanted to find.  Go Team...

Kuleana de Hawai’i ad ipsum

Welcome to Stares at the World, where we can screw up grammar in three languages at a time. As I’m sure you all know I recently did a couple of interviews with Danny de Gracia, a politician/journalist/literary critic & chef from the State of Hawaii; he’s my second data-point that there’s a new wave of politicians coming, a group of Gen-X/Millennial Men with the shrewdness needed to rule, and the integrity to rule well. But this post isn’t about him; it’s about Hawaii. Speaking with him got me curious, so during a slow moment at work I decided to do...

The Screws are Coming Out

Now I’m sure you all know about Aaron Clarey‘s war on Higher Edumacation; that if you haven’t read, you’ve at least read about his book Worthless; and that you understand how messed up college is nowadays. Well, it gets even worse. Aaron’s already written about a lot of the problems; about how a degree in transgendered turtle studies doesn’t allow you to build the stuff people actually want (forcing us to hire the Chinese, Japanese, and Indians to do all of this, while we produce…).  About how the levels of debt created by these faux-educations are going to wind up...

Agenda: Grinding America Down

Let’s start with an excellent post from the Captain.  Anti-feminism is not about hating women; none of these controversial ideas we discuss in the alt-right are about hating anyone; it’s about saving our bloody civilization.  And let’s get one thing absolutely clear: these aren’t the accidental side-effects of “good hearted, but misguided” policies.  These are deliberate attacks by a small group of intellectuals who want to bring down the West.  These people have names; they’ve been perfectly explicit in their goals; they know what they’re doing, and they’ve written down both How and Why they’re doing it.  This isn’t a...

Top Economist Blogs: Congrats to the Captain

EconomicsDegree.Net – Guide to 110+ Accredited Economics Degrees – recently elected Captain Capitalism as one of the top 100 economics bloggers.  Congrats, I say; it’s well deserved. As many of you know already, I’m a huge fan of the Captain’s content.  There’s his book Worthless, a wonderful contribution to the young of today which might just save their economic futures.  There’s his deep-posts full of charty-goodness, often confirming his earlier off-the-cuff predictions.  But my favourite thing about him?  His basic, “Econ 101” posts; not only are they entertaining for the seasoned social critic, not only are they approachable for the...
