A Depoliticized Future There is a common critique of liberalism that runs something like this. All human existence is political. Liberalism attempts to ‘paper over’ the political nature of society.

He who would be Cringe I am a realist first and foremost. This means, in the tradition of Aristotle, I am concerned with the world as it is and not how I wish it to be. The combination of political realism and rightwing politics is often depressing. Our side of things has been on a
But why do they hate you? I recently appeared on the 2 Bit Podcast. At the end of the show Jason asked me why the Regime (‘They’) hate us. This essay is an edited version of my response. I intended to just post a transcript but it turned into a essay all its own. Check out
Leftism is a Parasite I appeared on the Carousel Podcast recently to talk about how the conservative movement is fake and gay. One of the things that came up is a definition of the right and conversely a definition of the left. This is a fundamental issue, but one that’s often missed. Left

Savages and Succession If you’ve been on the internet long enough you’ve become too calloused to exhibit normal human emotions.

The Tyranny of 'Just' Written listening to Creed I don’t like talking about mass casualty events. The rush to use the biography of the murderer as political fuel is gross. However, to make a point, I’m going to break my rule. I can’t remember which specific event started this conversation. It
Academic Agent on 'The Anywhere-ization of all Places' taken from our interview on 11/6/2023 This is the start of a new experiment. I’ve decided to upload moments from my show where the guest has expressed something profound as a sub-stack post. I’ve edited what was said only to improve clarity as a written piece.
