Nathan Fielder is a Jewish comedian and actor born in Vancouver in 1983. After a false start in the business world, he got his big break in 2007 on CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, as a socially awkward consumer affairs correspondent hosting a recurring segment called “Nathan on Your Side.” Fielder later developed this premise into his Comedy Central “reality” series Nathan for You, which premiered in 2013 and ran for four seasons.

I’ve heard him described as a blend of Woody Allen and Larry David, and indeed, he is ultra-Jewy. Fielder is a real Jewy Jewstein, as Howard Stern would say. (more…)

Cynicism is something which has become symbolic of imperial policy. — Fidel Castro

A book that deserves the encomium of “classic” in the study of the totalitarian mindset is Paul Hollander’s Political Pilgrims. Hollander died in 2019. (more…)

I recently watched an interesting debate centered on the Jewish Question between Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative and Jason Köhne of No White Guilt. If you’ve been around this scene for a while, the debate wasn’t earthshattering. Lines have been drawn. Sides chosen. Listeners knew the arguments that both sides were going to make before they made them. And yet, what was truly great about the debate was that both sides made them, clearly and succinctly. (more…)

V první části své eseje jsem se věnoval Haidtovu argumentu, že morálka se vyvinula jako reakce na různé „adaptivní výzvy“. Z těch se etablovalo několik „morálních základů“ spojených s péčí, férovostí, loajalitou, autoritou, posvátností a svobodou. (more…)

Bývalý liberál Jonathan Haidt je profesorem etického vedení na Sternově ekonomické fakultě Newyorské univerzity. Nedávno přišel s novou knihou The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas are Setting up a Generation for Failure (Rozmazlená americká dušička aneb jak dobré úmysly a špatné nápady vysílají celou generaci na cestu neúspěchu; spoluautor Greg Lukianoff), (more…)

Whenever the self-proclaimed “progressives” lose a power play they suddenly experience a collective sphincter muscle collapse and react as if they’re teetering on the brink of an apocalypse, as was in stark evidence after Donald Trump derailed Hillary Clinton’s “The Corruption Express” headed for the White House Station. The Hollywood idiots, of course, were apoplectic. The outpouring and duration of mass hysteria in the aftermath of the 2016 election were unprecedented.

The Nazi canard is still alive and stronger than ever in the post-Trump era. Even since Donald Trump came down the escalator, his many enemies have cried that his movement is the modern-day NSDAP. Much of this owes to Americans’ only historical reference being World War II. The other factor is that there exists no greater evil to the contemporary westerner than the Nazis. Not even Satan can compare.

Time Magazine’s Person of the Year 2019 series epitomizes wine aunt liberalism.

Its person of the year was globalist psy-op Greta Thunberg. The 16-year-old autist’s solutions are comfort food to urban elites who fear climate change, but refuse to acknowledge that the non-western world is now the chief source of environmental devastation.

My friends on the Right bemoan the fact that we’re not living in Leave It To Beaver. They play the “what era would you like to live in?” game, picking any time other than this one. Because this is the End Time, you see; the Kali Yuga, the Wolf Age. Hell, yes! It is all those things and more. But I, for one, feel privileged to live in Dystopia. Truly, there has never been a better time to be alive. (more…)

In which Nicholas R. Jeelvy demonstrates the insidiousness of 19th-century political leftism and its tendency to subvert culture and morality by tugging on the heartstrings of the impressionable and kind.
