New York: The Berkley Publishing Group, 2004

LYFE: Elektra’s Revenge, Book One
Laughing Gallows Books, 2018
She never felt as good as when she got settled inside this little private world. Which wasn’t saying much.[1]
Here’s a new book by Ann Sterzinger, and it’s not what you’d expect.
After all, she does have a hard-won reputation as the Princess of Pessimism, the Duchess of Depression, the Marschallin of Misanthropy and Misery. (more…)
The Godfather of “respectable” conservatism, William F. Buckley, Jr.
1,633 words
Many on the Dissident Right these days like to deride conservatives. Conservatives are seen as the boobs who have been at least nominally in charge of the Republican Party since the end of the Cold War. We all know the names: Newt Gingrich, George W. Bush, John McCain, John Boehner, Mitt Romney, Mitch O’Connell, Paul Ryan, and many others.
Behind them all, pulling their ideological strings, was the Godfather of modern conservatism William F. Buckley and Jewish neocon writers such as William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer. (more…)

Whatever happened to the perfectly good term ‘fancy dress’? I suppose one might argue that ‘cosplay’ emphasises the element of play to it, of playing the role the costume suggests. One such man who loves to do this is Justin Trudeau. There is nothing terribly wrong with that – except that he does it when representing the country he is prime minister of on the world stage. Even worse, the majority of Canadians seem to think this is perfectly normal. (more…)

About a year after writing a defense of hatred, I have changed my mind.
Hatred is morally wrong, and incompatible with a just and functional society. It only divides, and it dehumanizes the other. In a polarized world like ours, we don’t need more division. (more…)

Blood in the Face (1991)
Anne Bohlen, Kevin Rafferty, James Ridgeway
The year 1991 was a turning point in history. The Soviet Union collapsed, and Middle Eastern problems came to the forefront of American consciousness. Most importantly, the ideas of the racially aware political right had become mature and properly positioned to grow. (more…)

Investigating the Alt Right: Richard Spencer in America
CreateSpace, 2017
It was on page 38 that I realized I was reading the work of a disturbed individual; perhaps a madman.
My first clue that something was wrong about this book was the odd subtitle: Richard Spencer in America. (more…)

I saw Black Panther with a friend in Seattle last week. Judging from the reverent silence in the theater — broken only occasionally by our laughter at unintentional bits of humor — it was an all-white audience. The serious tone of Black Panther is a departure from recent Marvel movies, which constantly undercut heroism with ironic humor. But Black Panther is a movie about numinous, magical Negroes, and some things are sacred. God is not mocked. (Unless he is Thor.) (more…)

The new Black Panther film is problematic in some respects. Seeing blacks idealized in an advanced world of the future–that of Wakanda–is probably bad for the average white person. It doesn’t give them the sort of accurate view of a typical black society I showed in my Similarities article. (more…)
