Gamergate can be summarized as the backlash against Social Justice Warrior (SJW) themes that were being pushed in video games during 2014-2015. The reader may explore the deep lore surrounding it if he is so inclined, for those days have passed into legend.

A second Gamergate has begun, although it is more limited in scope — for now. The focus is on Sweet Baby Inc., a company that offers “diversity consulting” for video-game scripts, and which has been blamed for a rising number of woke video games. (more…)

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley grilled US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about the crisis on the Mexican border on February 2, stating in part that Mayorkas’ performance was “despicable” and that his unwillingness to provide answers was “absolutely atrocious.” Mayorkas attempted to deflect blame by stating that he is the child of a holocaust survivor, thereby implying that he, and by extension most Jews, should be above criticism.

It was hard to tell if he was being devious or if this is what he actually believes. Mayorkas’ blunder was so egregious I wouldn’t be surprised if Jonathan Greenblatt gave him a call afterwards about feeding “problematic anti-Semitic tropes.” (more…)

In politics as in war, the best defense is a good offense. Conservatism has catastrophically failed to conserve anything because it is an inherently defensive ideology born out of a defensive — if not downright cowardly — mindset.

Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)

Pondering America’s political landscape since the 1960s can be rather maddening. For the most part, the Right has been spinning its wheels in a rut. (more…)

Father Coughlin

The public career of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin during the 1930s and early ‘40s is massively documented. Newsreels, publications, speeches, and broadcast recordings are all at your fingertips online. Yet the historical significance of this Canadian-American prelate (1891-1979) is maddeningly elusive. You may have read that he was an immensely popular but controversial “radio priest” with a decidedly populist-nationalist bent, or that he published a weekly magazine called Social Justice (1936-1942), (more…)

Who knew there were not one but two racist Jewish lawyers in New York?

Right now, Aaron Schlossberg is having his life ruined for telling some Hispanic restaurant workers to speak English, guilt-tripping them for spending his tax dollars (undoubtedly the most Jewish way to be racist), and then threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement on them. (more…)

New York: Random House, 1971

Rules for Radicals is [in]famous for its purported influence, and that of author (((Saul Alinsky))), among liberal and Left-wing ideologues and politicians in the United States, including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

The term “negritude” (roughly self-aware blackness) came into common currency in the 1930s and 1940s among a loose alliance of francophone Black poets and intellectuals, most them from France’s colonial empire. It was part of their campaign to destigmatize blackness and to assert the special qualities of their African heritage. The most important figure in this influential movement for négritude was likely Leopold Senghor, a poet and professor of African languages who later became the first president of Senegal. (more…)
