Looking for Mr. Goodbar is a lesser-known 1970s Diane Keaton film, but that does not really say a lot when you consider that her well-known films from that decade include all-time classics such as The Godfather films and Woody Allen’s glory-years entries such as Annie Hall. Add to this the fact that Looking for Mr. Goodbar has been notoriously difficult to find. While it is occasionally shown on TV, it has never been released on DVD or Blu Ray and is not available on any streaming service due to music licensing issues arising from its disco-era soundtrack. But the film made a splash when it was released in 1977 and even had the distinction of being the movie that ended Star Wars’ 15-week run at the top of the box office. (more…)

The first day of August is one of the four cross-quarter solar holidays. It’s known as either Lammas or Lughnasadh, depending on whether you’re of the Saxon or the Celtic persuasion. (If “Blessed be!” is a common greeting for you, then you get it. If not, I’ll just say welcome to the hottest part of the year — and this year’s been a doozy.) It’s one of the traditional harvest festivals, which of course has a secondary meaning: death.
Things often get pretty wonky for me on August 1; if it’s not the Grim Reaper dropping by for a social call, then it’s some other fine mess. Also, the day falls on a Full Moon this year. (more…)

Leftists ruin everything. Nothing, not even children’s toys, is immune from their hateful ideology. A case in point is Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. There are countless women who played with Barbie dolls as children, put them aside when they grew up, and occasionally think nostalgically about them without ever suspecting that they were the targets of Leftist consciousness-raising. But from the very start, Barbie sets them straight.
Barbie begins with a voiceover that sounds like a witch. In the bad old days, little girls only played with baby dolls, which their cunning parents foisted on them to brainwash them into wanting to become mothers. (more…)

The Woman Racket
Exeter: Imprint Academic, 2008The woman racket is the McCarthyism of the 1990s. — Norman Mailer
Women. You can’t live with ‘em and you can’t kill ‘em. — Mad Dog and Glory
This millennium we have become used to new myths. Islam is a religion of peace, trans people are facing “genocide,” and blacks invented trains, planes, and automobiles while dodging the bullets of a racist police force. (more…)

I hope to see a rehabilitation and mass adoption of sociobiology and its thought tools in the years to come. The notion of society, human affairs, and politics as products of biology and the social sphere influencing biology, rather than the two magisteria being separate from each other, seemed intuitive to our ancestors, before socio and bio were cruelly rent from each other in the inglorious culmination of mind-body dualism which has plagued Western philosophy since the time of Plato.

Abingdon (Oxon) & New York: Routledge, 2022Despite its beguiling title and subtitle, I am sorry to report that this new book from Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right is a very sloppy doggy’s dinner. (more…)

Just in Time for Riot Season, Another Black Criminal Suspect Dies after Vibrantly Resisting Arrest
As the days grow longer and the calla lilies are in bloom again and a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, a restless American nation-within-a-nation of 47 million perpetually disgruntled ex-Africans yearns for an excuse to burn down cities until winter comes again and even the glowing embers of once-great metropolises make it too damned cold to comfortably riot.

I found Dr. Robert Jensen’s recent interview at Counter-Currents with Hubert Collins refreshing and thought-provoking. It is very seldom that a Leftist academic is willing to have a discussion with White Nationalists at all, and I admire his open-mindedness. He articulated the basis of his outlook very well. Most Leftists take their own outlook for granted and never explain why anyone else ought to share their positions; they react with hysteria to any disagreement. (more…)

Robert Jensen is an archetypal Leftist academic: a feminist, an anti-capitalist, an anti-imperialist, and someone who belivies in institutional racism. He was denouncing “white privilege” well before doing so became fashionable, and his feminism is of the radical variety, at odd’s with today’s wishy-washy “girl boss” posturing. I read his book Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity as a teenager, and was impressed that unlike most conservative critics of porn, Prof. Jensen had actually done his homework.

Neovaginas and Why They Stink
In almost no time at all — seemingly less time than it takes to surgically repurpose part of a slimy colon or an inverted scrotum into a fake vagina — trannies have become the Jews of Sexuality. Make one snide comment about them, and you will forever be banished from polite society. This may not be as bad as it seems, though, seeing as how “polite society” these days hinges around supremely impolite topics such as the bacterial climate inside manmade vaginas. (more…)
