Critical Mass Modern cities are a critical mass of different people, competing ideologies and countless manifestations of globalisation that produce chaos and confusion at almost every level. In truth, I had been struggling for an introduction, a logical starting point for this article for days on end and in my own personal

Citizenship and the 2nd Amendment On March 8th of this year, Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman issued a ruling. The Obama-appointed judge sided with an illegal immigrant, Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, and held that illegals are protected under the 2nd Amendment and have the right to bear arms. Reactions were mostly boilerplate. Progressives either ignored it or used

Classical liberalism’s excremental excuses According to recent reports, a gay Spanish politician who belongs to the country’s left-wing governing party has been forced to resign after pictures surfaced of the municipal councilor eating his own excrement. While disgusting, the existence of yet another degenerate politician would be unremarkable, if not for the fact

Waiting for "Mark Zero" A meditation on a favorite pulp novel I woke up on my birthday to see a bridge collapsing. My wife was watching it on her iPad. "You've got to see this. There's been an accident" she said. I watched the video from start to finish. Then she said in a

Richard Dawkins, champion of atheism, mourns Christianity’s decline In a recent appearance, the notorious atheist Richard Dawkins lamented the lost influence of Christianity, going so far as to declare himself a “cultural Christian.” While achieving a level of notoriety for his work in the field of biology, Dawkins became best known for his vocal opposition to religion in

Why the left fears beauty A British museum owned by Cambridge University recently overhauled its art exhibits and introduced new signage warning that paintings of the British countryside could trigger “dark nationalist feelings.” Another sign in the exhibit explains, “Landscape paintings were also always entangled with national identity. The countryside was seen as a direct

In the latest victory against right-wing extremism, police officers pull a 16 year-old girl out of chemistry class and advise her to stop posting Smurf-themed AfD-friendly content to TikTok I wrote in February about the plans of Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) to combat “right-wing extremism,” by re-purposing the regulatory state to restrict the speech, travel and economic activity of people with inconvenient opinions. She wants to use state resources to intimidate “those who mock the state,” and she

Dispatch: A Question of Loyalty A return to the rough-and-tumble 1790s “I have, for sometime past, viewed the political concerns of the United States with an anxious, and painful eye. They appear to me, to be moving by hasty strides to some awful crisis; but in what they will result—that Being, who sees, foresees,

Reflections #6 Broken Britain When l was researching some articles at the end of last year, I stumbled on a new You Tube niche of sorts: people that basically go across the UK highlighting the decline of major cities and towns on the ground. You Tubers like the Wandering Turnip, Charles Veitch,

Google really is programming our kids Google found itself embroiled in controversy last week after the company’s Gemini artificial intelligence demonstrated an almost comical adherence to woke ideology. Multiple users found that the AI had a peculiar bias against white people, removing them from almost every historical context. Gemini repeatedly rendered popes, Vikings, medieval knights,

Navigating America's moral wasteland On the surface, Americans all value the same things. Life, liberty, equality, the rule of law, the pursuit of happiness — these terms form the basis of our shared moral language. If a nation is to forge a shared identity, it must share a moral vision, an understanding of what the

Reflections #4 Ali G – the comedy sketch that became a meme and then became reality In the late 90s, one character in British comedy stood out among many, having a broad appeal that bridged traditional class, age and racial barriers – Ali G. Ali G is a veritable spaghetti junction of identity politics.

‘Somalia first’ and other alarming signs of a failing American empire Every gardener is fighting a constant battle against chaos. Hard work must be done to construct planter beds, pull weeds, and generally repel the relentless forces of nature that seek to take back what the gardener has built. If the garden is to persist, its owner must transmit the importance

Football! Football! Football! Football! Nixon liked football. So you must like it! Because you like Nixon, right? If this article were about college football, I’d feel a little different about it. At least college teams represent real institutions in specific localities; many of the players may still be from out of state,

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

Women Can't Compete With A.I. Girlfriends Hoes Mad While I generally avoid arguing with women on the internet, this article is particularly terrible and worth commenting on purely as a repudiation to the “longhouse.” First things first; DO NOT USE A.I. GIRLFRIENDS. Do NOT download the app, do not play with them just for fun;

New Orleans is America A guest post by George Bagby This is a guest post by a dear friend and mentor of mine George Bagby. I’ve spoken with him often on my show, and he offer a unique perspective on  current events that I hope you’ll enjoy. Please check out his YouTube

You will probably die of a cold "Nothing can stop scientists from stamp-collecting viruses to pad their resumes."ext People, even smart people, are so mindkilled these days. It will probably be the death of us all. Here’s how. Usually the smart people start by learning statistics. Statistics paralyze your ability to reason logically. Also, they

Savages and Succession If you’ve been on the internet long enough you’ve become too calloused to exhibit normal human emotions. After a decade of furries, lol-cows, and goon-caves it becomes difficult to feel visceral disgust. Emotions like disgust and revulsion become weaker with repeated use. Rarely, will I see something that

How the climatoids spent the summer lecturing us on the permanent drought that climate change has brought to Central Europe, and how they have earned nothing but rain for their hubris June headlines: "Germany is facing permanent drought." August headlines after a rainy summer: "Rain is no help against drought." December headlines after still more rain: "There is no more drought." In the past year, Germans have had to read a great deal about how carbon dioxide-induced drought is on the

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.

New Survey: Fewer Germans feel free to express their political opinions in 2023 than in any year since the early days of the Federal Republic The Allensbach Institute for Public Opinion Research regularly polls the German population, among other things to construct a dubious “Freedom Index” for the Federal Republic. This Index purports to measure the social and political status of whatever it is that “freedom” amounts to in Germany, on a scale ranging from

A techno-pessimist manifesto "One can easily see Trotsky at Burning Man." Are you a techno-optimist? This is a serious condition—as common as prediabetes. Don’t laugh. You can treat your prediabetes—and your techno-optimism, too. 30% of Americans are prediabetic. All Americans are prediabetic, in a sense—we all have access to

Reflections #3 The farce that is Tory Britain in 2023 I have spent most of the last two months researching and writing a number of articles on both Britain’s economy and on mass immigration. Quite honestly, I am mentally exhausted and need a rest, I have read countless articles and watched

GOP leaders long to DIE Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) drew some heat over the weekend after attacking his own party for being too white while speaking at the Oxford Union. McCarthy claimed the Democrats “actually look like America” while the Republicans “look like the most restrictive country club.” This, mind you, while he

Jay Bhattacharya punks Karl Lauterbach for a bizarrely mistaken rant about John Ioannidis & the German media realise their health minister is an international laughingstock I know that some of you are impatient with my posts about German politics, and particularly my repeated pieces on our retarded Health Minister. I get that this can seem like inside baseball, and that all of you suffer under the very similar idiocies of your own Covid politicians. But,

Don’t conserve institutions that hate you At their founding, the institutions of a civilization were created to serve the needs of its citizens and perpetuate their way of life. These organizations transmit and safeguard the values of the culture from which they arise. As a civilization grows and the scale of its operation increases, the people

The UK Economy: Lots of Problems, Few Solutions - part two The UK Economy – Lots of Problems, Few Solutions Part Two Housing Crisis The property market and its many problems are so complex and layered that many analysts speak of multiple housing crises at once. In the UK, there is a never-ending housing bubble. House prices in Britain have increased by

The competency crisis is upon us Our current managerial elite predicates its rule on the notion of expertise. Americans once believed that “popular will” granted a ruling class legitimacy, but that story has been replaced with one of scientific knowledge and credentials. The modern political formula frames the world as a complex series of interconnected scientific

The UK Economy – Lots of Problems, Few Solutions Introduction The United Kingdom’s economy is in very bad condition and has been for some time now. Britain’s economy is marked by low growth, rising debt, low productivity, prolonged high inflation, and a lack of investment. The British government is burdened by debt and has its hands tied

BBC declares "Black women most likely to die in medieval plague" after unnamed "academics at the Museum of London" collect doubtful statistics on 145 medieval skeletons in an uncited unavailable study The internet is presently having a laugh at the BBC for their declaration that “Black women” were “mostly likely to die” in the 14th-century plague. Black women of African descent were more likely to die of the medieval plague in London, academics at the Museum of London have found. The

On the curious schemes of various activists, ideologues and politicians to minimise the emission of certain atmospheric gases by restructuring our energy supply and thereby our entire civilisation As the insanity of the pandemic era recedes, I find myself writing more and more about climate politics. Many of my posts on this matter – especially the last one – elicit disagreement from readers who believe that my arguments validate the premises of climate propagandists, who want me to know that

Line Go Up PART 2 How the elites benefit from mass immigration: part 2 Proposition 3 Migrant labour reduces labour costs Immigration is advantageous to those in industry that benefit by importing low-skilled, low-wage labour onto our shores. Immigration increases the size of the workforce and increases the government’s tax base as well. Immigration

The Green Paradox: Why unilateral emissions restrictions may actually increase fossil fuel production and will always fail to do anything about atmospheric CO2 levels Periodically, journalists realise that our climate policies are doing absolutely nothing to reduce CO2 emissions. The latest entry in this amusing genre of reporting comes from N-tv and the Deutsche-Presse Agentur: The planned global production of coal, oil and gas continue to significantly exceed levels required to mitigate climate change.

Why the migrant crisis is a self-inflicted catastrophe for the European political establishment The mass importation of regime clients from the third world, under the pretence of high-minded liberal values, has become a runaway phenomenon threatening the very political order that authored it. Some valued readers objected to my remark in yesterday’s post that the political establishment appears “completely powerless” to stop

The Managerial Menace Back in August, the Wall Street Journal ran a long article on the insane spending of American public universities, with special emphasis on their proclivity for expensive building projects. This is an issue very close to my heart. I spent over a decade in American academia, at several different very

The very same Europe that stopped travel over a virus cannot close its borders against the global south, even as the failure to do so threatens the viability of establishment parties and the EU itself Europe has entered its second great migration crisis since 2014. Numbers are now at levels not seen since the aftermath of the Libyan civil war in 2014. Here, from the Italian Institute for International Political Studies, is a graph of migrant arrivals in Italy from January 2010 through September 2023:

Dissident Thoughts #1 A new series begins here on my Substack aiming to address cultural and social issues in a more concise and direct way than I deal with monetary issues.

Dissident Thoughts #2 The deconstruction of everything Increasingly, life has lost all structure, purpose and meaning. We look around us and we see chaos. We live in a world that is completely disenchanted. The Frankfurt School believed that if you render everything meaningless then society becomes unworkable. This has been achieved by deconstructing

Authoring Caesar: Part Two The imposition of mob rule, the ultimate and end result of democracy, damages individual autonomy. It threatens and often eliminates your natural rights: life, limb, and property. We are at whatever mercy the mob grants us, if any. Every time a legislative body meets, all people are on the butcher’

Book Review: The Prophets of Doom by Neema Parvini “This volume should be a healthy part of every Sensible Centrist’s Library.”

THE INTERNET IS DOOMED An old ballad speaks of John Barleycorn, grown, reaped, and sown. He is an inoffensive chap, pale and wan with a little beard. Spoken of fondly, he must eventually be killed to be of use. His body is made to grain and, to stretch this personification to its most grotesque,

The Boomer Cruise: Day of the Pillow A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of traditionalism. All the powers of GloboHomo have entered into an unholy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and President, Managers and intelligentsia, French Radicals and German police spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as regressive by

Authoring Caesar: Part Four “Where there’s a will, there’s a way:” all can be overcome through the power of will; but one must first possess it. It’s been a long period of growth towards higher Civilization in the West. We have been seated high for so long that the notion of

Authoring Caesar: Part Three The greatest failure of Democracy is in empowering the incapable and immoral. This brings the wretches into an unfair conflict with moral and just people over power. Armed with this evil, the immoral wretches slash at righteous good, before good knows what hit it. Democracy breeds naïveté towards the human

Authoring Caesar: Part One Western man stands on a precipice before a path ridden with obstacles; behind us lay our progenitors: “old”, “obsolete”, and “incapable”. Whiffs of their essence lay within us, hopefully enough to make a difference. Ahead lies our future, our progeny, and all we will, our canvas. We cannot correct the
