In the past I’ve made the argument that a study of the toys that a people makes for its children give us an insight into that people’s cultural direction.

The US midterm elections have come and gone and not much has changed in the world because of them. The consensus among my esteemed colleagues here at Counter-Currents is that the GOP’s lackluster performance reflected its lackluster nature. Aquilonius’ devastating rhetorical body blow sums it up best: “What is the one thing that is less cool than a dude who cut off his own frank and beans? Answer: A stuffy Republican in a suit droning on about the free market and political decency.” Indeed, the GOP performance was uninspired, uninspiring, formulaic, and above all, boring. Call me old-fashioned, but a revolution against an evil ruling class should be at the very least mildly entertaining. (more…)

November: It’s that wonderful time of year again when my birthday reminds me of the passage of time and the inevitable progress of ageing, decrepitude, and decay. Having initially believed that the shock of turning 30 would be the worst of it, I now brace for the unenviable proposition of turning 31, which is like 30 except a year older and with still no resolution to the crisis of ageing in sight.

Imagine a scenario: You’re walking down the street, minding your own business, and then suddenly, a stranger waltzes up to you and tweaks your nose. You are seized by righteous anger and start pursuing him. When you actually catch him, he has the gall to ask you why you are so angry and even theorizes that you’re not really angry at him, but that you’re angry at yourself and your own shortcomings as a person, shortcomings that you do indeed have seeing as how you’re a human being.

It has become an important part of Right-wing lore to mock liberals for framing current events in terms of Harry Potter. Donald Trump restricts entry to persons from a number of Muslim countries? That’s just like Voldemort persecuting Muggles! A court refuses to convict a white person for defending himself against black crime? (more…)

As regular readers might know, I am a little finicky when it comes to consumer goods, ranging from food to clothes. Owing to my tactile hypersensitivity, I have problems when it comes to wearing certain types of material, most of them synthetic or unnaturally smooth, or perhaps even too rough. Since synthetic materials are legion in the modern world, even in self-proclaimed high-end fashion, I find myself more often than not raiding vintage clothes stores, searching for garments of bygone eras which do not irritate my delicate skin.

I don’t believe anyone reading this needs a recapitulation of all of the nasty things going on in the West today.
