Ryan T. Anderson
When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment
Encounter, 2018

With the menace of transgenderism becoming ever more aggressive, this author was obliged to finally acquire and read When Harry Became Sally by Ryan T. Anderson. Very much in the mainstream, Anderson describes himself as a religious conservative, while having ties with the Heritage Foundation and other well-heeled Conservative, Inc institutions. GLADD has written a profile about him on its website. While the language used to describe him would seem rather innocuous from the perspective of most, it can only be regarded as disparaging from the skewed perspective of LGBTQ YUCK. (more…)

Už tak velice nízká porodnost v Jižní Koreji se v roce 2023 dále propadla na pouhých 0,72 dítěte na ženu, což je přibližně jen třetina hodnoty nutné pro zachování velikosti populace (2,1). Na webu BBC se dokonce objevil článek, jehož autorka si klade otázky, proč se tolik Korejek rozhodlo zůstat bezdětných. (more…)

The news outlet Axios published an article on Monday entitled “Exclusive: Trump allies plot anti-racism protections — for white people” in which it was claimed that, should a second Donald Trump administration come to pass, Trump intends to amend civil rights law to give protections to white people: “If Donald Trump returns to the White House, close allies want to dramatically change the government’s interpretation of Civil Rights-era laws to focus on ‘anti-white racism’ rather than discrimination against people of color.” (more…)

If the current regime disappeared, and I were given a free hand to create an ethnostate, this is what I would do. I am going to focus simply on policies and institutions, not practical questions about how we would gain and keep the power to implement them.

Richard Hanania’s The Origins of Woke is Christopher Caldwell’s excellent book, The Age of Entitlement, but in a less sober and more opinionated tone, and with more speculation on what’s to be done about the predicament. While both books get the point across, Hanania’s trying to get several other points across that distract from the central thesis: Our legal system contains a civil rights ratcheting mechanism that requires all corporations and organizations to promote a “Leftist” (anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-male, anti-straight) political agenda.

Starting from unlimited freedom I arrive at unlimited despotism. — Shigalev, in Dostoevsky’s The Devils

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, not Karl Marx is the real father and inspiration for the theater of the absurd that is today’s Left. Rousseau’s “Man is born free, everywhere he is in chains” is the original formulation of the adolescent anarchist rally-cry, “Rage against the machine!” (more…)

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams. — Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States

And different statistics for violent crime.

Almost a quarter of the twenty-first century is “history” and, given how badly it’s been going, perhaps it’s time to pause and ask the question: Who’s to blame? (more…)
