Podcast: Cancel Culture Kills Creation

The creator of FNAF has come under fire by his fans for… being a pretty typical Republican and Christian. Cancel culture is run by the sort of people who just want to hurt others in the name of some fake moral crusade – no different than the Helen Lovejoys who yelled about violent videogames twenty years ago. Don’t fall for their moral posturing.

Podcast: Trust No One

During fat times, acquaintances are a fine thing. But with the lean times we’re entering – not just economically, but politically and culturally – associating with people who aren’t on board with survival and loyalty can be fatal. Be careful whom you trust in your circles, because many of them will sell you out at the first opportunity.

Podcast: They Summoned Chaos

In this episode we cover how the powers that be have summoned up a Golem of chaos, which is out of their control. We talk about the sneaky tricks used by marketers and PUAs, and why they always backfire. And we cover the rebranding of UFOs to UAPs, and what the motivation behind that might be. Streams are broadcast with video on DLive, every Friday night at 1900 Mountain time, with occsional bonus streams on other days.

Podcast: The Conspiracy is Mundane

All too often, I see people spiralling off into Xanatos Gambit territory; attributing superhuman ability to plan and predict to those in charge. Certainly there’s something going on. The establishment is desperate for the population to inject an experimental mRNA formula, because of a disease which isn’t much worse than the common cold. That conspiracies exist is inarguable. And that something hinky is going on with the past year of Covid hysteria is self-evident. But the conspiracy is far more likely to be mundane than existential. In this livestream I argue that the mRNA jab is their attempt to save...

Calling All Super Villains!

For those of you who missed it, Ta-Nehisi Coates – a Marvel Comics writer who’s been hired to write the upcoming Superman movie – has been putting Dr. Jordan B. Peterson’s words into the mouth of the Red Skull: That’s right, the Evil Nazis want you to clean your room and pet a cat! And it got me thinking about who exactly the ‘Good Guys’ are according to people like Coates… Old, ugly, stupid, and hateful. I don’t know about you, but if that’s what ‘Good’ looks like, sign me up for Team Evil. So if you’re ready to join...

Book Review: “Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World”

This book was the first time I’d heard of Tom Holland – in fact, it was a request from a reader who offered to purchase it for me, and toss a few coins in the hat to boot (thanks, brother). He didn’t pay me for a glowing review, however, which is what you’re about to read. To put it simply, if you want to understand European history – or religion – or modern politics – or the nature of the existential question which we’re still dealing with today – I recommend that you pick yourself up a copy. Holland starts...

Harvesting the Corpse: When Conspiracy Theories are Unnecessary

There’s a concept I’d like to explore here, about the inevitability of our current decline, and why trying to fight the tide is not just useless but counterproductive. And to illustrate this concept I’ll start with a simpler version, one which everybody should be able to understand: the concept of the visionary film maker. There seems to be this particular class of geniuses – your Stanley Kubricks, Christopher Nolans, and James Camerons – who manage to put together these profound cinematic experiences that defy the conventions of the time. Men who somehow overcome the ‘studio meddling’ to put their own...

The Fundamental Flaw with Technocratic Utopianism and the Rise of Parallel Networks

Turning and turning in the widening gyreThe falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worstAre full of passionate intensity. The Second Coming, by William Butler Yeats On the surface we appear to be living in dire times. Accelerating censorship, panicked pandemic lockdowns, the rush into authoritarian styles of government founded upon resentment with a strong desire for revenge – one would be naïve not to see the parallels to 1920s Russia. Yet in...

Salmon Ribbons, Distributed: The Difference Between Fixing the World, and Pretending to Fix the World

I wanted to write a follow-up to my last post, elaborating on why I take issue with people taking issue with WE Charity being corrupt, when they signed up for corruption as soon as they bought into the hype. And from the title of this post, you can correctly guess that I’m referring to the excellent documentary on fake charities Pink Ribbons, Inc. While I recommend watching the documentary for yourself, I’ll quickly sum up the story. In the 1970s a woman by the name of Charlotte Haley began a campaign to encourage the National Cancer Institute to increase its...
