Ve své argumentaci v debatě s E. M. Jonesem o válce na Ukrajině jsem tvrdil, že nacionalisté na Západě — a vlastně na celém světě — by měli podporovat Ukrajinu proti ruskému agresorovi. Podle Jonese bychom Ukrajinu podporovat neměli.

Jones začal dějinami Židů a jejich činnosti na Ukrajině, zřejmě v přesvědčení, že jakmile se někde objeví Židé, nemůže na tom být ani zbla dobrého. Následně se snažil ukázat, že se ve skutečnosti nejedná o válku Ruska s Ukrajinou, ale Ruska s Amerikou. (more…)

They say that you should never meet or get to know your heroes, but I completely disagree.

I have been very fortunate in my life to have gotten to know many of the heavy metal musicians who I grew up listening to. Whether I was working backstage at concerts or on tour with my favorite bands, I have seen many of my heroes at their best and worst. Discovering that your heroes and idols also flatulate and drink too much might ruin the music and childhood memories for many people, but for me, it only made the music and experiences with my heroes that much more exciting and authentic.

I watched American History X with my roommate last night. Watching the film brought back memories and nostalgia for my teenage years. When I first saw the movie as a teen, I was obsessed with Scandinavia due to my passion for heavy metal and my own Danish roots. (more…)

One of the first perks I took advantage of upon recently moving to a big city was the much wider selection of concerts. The modest Lutheran town I hail from did not offer much in the way of bone-powdering metal shows, and as such I have already attended more live performances in the past few months than I had in my entire life prior to the move. The metal connoisseur in me has never been happier.
