No Russian Leaders
The London Morning Post correspondent then tried to determine who the Bolsheviks were who had terrorized Kiev. His findings were:

The Ritualized Defacement of Robert E. Lee
Although it often gets lost amid the subsequent media hysteria and toxic infighting that followed in the wake of August 2017’s hyper-ironically titled “Unite the Right” rally, the event’s initial intent was to prevent a massive bronze sculpture of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from being removed by the members of a largely white-hostile and seemingly illiterate city government in Charlottesville, Virginia. (more…)

Not long ago, Ibram Xolani Kendi — formerly Henry Rogers — was at the cutting edge of the burgeoning “anti-racism” industry. He and other high-ranking professional activists already were treated as sagacious specialists in race relations and lauded as public intellectuals. Then his career went into overdrive during the George Fentanyl tantrum of mid-2020, followed by the media’s unprecedented outpouring of anti-white bile since then.
Had things continued on this trajectory without a hitch, it’s anyone’s guess as to what lofty heights he might have attained. Could he have followed in Barack Obama’s footsteps? (more…)

The word “moronic” was never a particular favorite of mine, but a few years ago it started coming to mind increasingly at things I heard people say. At first I thought I must be getting less tolerant, but I eventually concluded that there was indeed a rising tide of moronity. To record the fact, I started making a note of statements that especially triggered me. (more…)

In recent times, Woke Capital has become increasingly aggressive. The results included strange virtue-signaling the likes of which would have been unimaginable until not long ago. How much can the Limousine Leftists rub our noses in their bizarre values before customers refuse to put up with it? As the proverb goes, “Get woke, go broke.” More to the point, how long will it take for the corporations to learn the lesson? (more…)

The age of any revolution is five years. After that, either its participants have wandered off, dismayed by failure, or else have succeeded and become an establishment, generally more tyrannous than the one they displaced. — Hakim Felix Ellellou from John Updike’s The Coup
Pol Pot borrowed “Year Zero” from the French Jacobins to endow his revolution with the symbolism that says: the past is hereby erased; a new culture and a new people are born — Great Replacement, Southeast Asian style. (more…)

Jim Goad has produced a short video to accompany his latest essay, “Black People of Walmart,” about black people in Chicago being deprived of their inalienable right to shop at — or steal from — Walmart. See below. (more…)

In the summer of 2009, a website called “People of Walmart” debuted and, like a fever blister sprouting under the hot August sun, it enjoyed a few moments of Internet virality. Its stock in trade was to feature reader-submitted photos of lumpy, fat, trashy, tacky, stupid, déclassé, weird — and almost entirely white — Americans trudging through those giant hollow warehouses of depressing consumerism that are target-marketed toward consumers of meager means.

Seeing the fuss being made about the death of George Floyd in the mainstream media in May 2020, and gathering that it was if anything worse on social media, I started keeping a “Black Lives Matter diary” to record subsequent events and my thoughts about them. Two years later, having concluded the diary, I edited it to make it more readable and, dreaming that it might one day be published, wrote an introduction. (more…)

It’s nearly April: The time for rain. As I write, there is a drenching downpour in my neck of the woods that has lasted all day. Being forced indoors for a spell has allowed me to reflect upon white advocacy at the end of 2023’s first quarter. (more…)
