Have you ever closed your eyes and listened to Kamala Harris laugh? It’s quite unnerving. Her cackle is like hearing a pack of hyenas chortle after finding day-old carrion on the veldt. Sometimes it happens when she’s talking about Venn Diagrams or when she’s trying in vain to address a serious subject like water security and droughts. (more…)

The Triumph of the Political Class
London: Simon & Schuster, 2007
Některé knihy se podruhé narodí. Každé dílo s politickými motivy se snaží být prorockým – jen čas však dokáže rozsoudit jejich úspěšnost. Orwellův 1984, Bloomovo The Closing of the American Mind (Uzavírání americké mysli), Huntingtonův Střet civilizací nebo Fayeho Konvergence katastrof lze považovat za knihy, jejichž čas nastal.

There Is Nothing For You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century
New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2021
You may well remember Fiona Hill as a “fact witness” from Donald Trump’s first impeachment. I thought I would hate her, but after reading her book, I found that she is actually fairly reasonable and motivated by many of the same concerns that I am. I’ll explore the problems in her policy proposals and overall worldview at the end. (more…)

Netflix thinks pimping preteens is a great way to market its new movie Cuties. The French film follows a dance troupe of 11-year-old girls who discover their “femininity.” Netflix advertised the film with images of the girls in suggestive outfits, which inevitably drew a public backlash. The streaming giant apologized for the advertisements (more…)

He sat alone on a giant throne
Pretending he’s the king.
A little tyke who’s rather like
A puppet on a string.
— “The Phoney King of England”
Long before anyone thought to call him a neoreactionary, mostly because he himself said it’d be the term a Harvard progressive would use to describe him, Mencius Moldbug called himself a formalist. (more…)

A denationalized foreign policy has many heads and hearts, but no soul. It supports imperialism in one part of the world and opposes it in another. It upholds human rights in some areas; in others it honors and rewards the violators of those rights. (more…)

A little more than two years ago I published a piece on this site titled “I Keep Forgetting that I’m Not an American.” The occasion was Wikileaks’ release of “Vault 7” and the reaction from establishment Republicans. Vault 7 consisted of thousands of documents revealing the CIA’s ability to compromise smartphones and smart TVs, as well as Web browsers and even cars.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781) bol nemecký filozof, dramatik a esejista. A bol tiež slobodomurár. Dňa 14. októbra 1771 bol zasvätený do slobodomurárstva v lóži Troch zlatých ruží v Hamburgu. Lessing mal očividne veľké nádeje v slobodomurárstvo, ale pomerne rýchlo ich stratil. V rokoch 1776-77 napísal dielo Ernst a Falk: Rozhovory pre slobodomurárov, ktoré bolo venované vojvodovi Ferdinandovi z Brunswicku, jednému z najvýznamnejších slobodomurárov. (more…)
