Nothing KKKompares to the KKK
Jim Goad has produced a short video to accompany his latest essay, “Nothing KKKompares to the KKK,” on the fact that for an organization that no longer exists in any meaningful sense, just about every group that is disliked by somebody ends up being compared to the Ku Klux Klan. (more…)

The “just-world fallacy” is the childishly simplistic moral fantasy that the world is like a stupid Hollywood movie: an unerringly fair place where the good guys win, the bad guys lose, and everyone gets exactly what they deserve in the end. (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.

1998: What struck me
In 1998 it struck me that our civilization was dying. Moreover, it was dying by its own hand.

Stuttering John Fetterman: A National Embarrassment

You might not have heard, but Spain is currently undergoing its own version of a George Floyd moment. Scaled down, of course — nothing can really match American production value — but nonetheless, there is a storm brewing, one resembling what much of American sociopolitics has been reduced to: racism and victimhood grifting.
A storm — although in actual fact, it’s more like a tempest in a teacup, as is often the case with these sort of black grievances. It all started last weekend when the Real Madrid Football Club went to Valencia to play that city’s main football (or soccer, if you prefer) team. (more…)

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…)
