Joe Biden’s plan to occupy the White House for a second term has most likely been upended by by Special “Emperor has no clothes” Counsel, Robert Hur. He officially opined recently that the President is too old and his memory much too defective to be tried before a jury. Dr. Jill’s husband is visibly decrepit and so demonstrably cognitively impaired that he should not be permitted to testify in a court of law. (more…)

One might say that the concept ‘game’ is a concept with blurred edges. — Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations

Blurred around the edges though the concept of a “game” might be, I believe it is safe to say that every serious player of every kind of game plays to win. Which brings me to an extremely popular game being played these days with payoffs for the winner in the form of power acquisition: the “game of virtuous victimhood.” (more…)

Robert Darnton
The Literary Underground of the Old Regime
Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1985

Historical dissident literary and artistic movements that have had an impact on the political realm are worth studying. One such example is the literary underground in pre-Revolutionary France. In The Literary Underground of the Old Regime, historian Robert Darnton advances the thesis that dissident writers and publishers played an important role in undermining the ancien régime. (more…)

The Verdun Memorial

1,006 words

The ceremonies observed across the Western world to memorialize the fallen warriors of the past are powerful exercises. They are imbued with memory, meaning, and grief. Our ancestors fought because of their honor and sense of duty, as well as for their countries, families, friends, neighbors, and a whole host of other, more mundane reasons. (more…)

A strong sense of victimhood might not come naturally to the majority of whites in the West, but if they wish to compete politically with non-whites as the demographic winds keep blowing against them, it had better start coming naturally — and soon. Victimhood, however, should never be mistaken for victim status. The former is the perfectly moral and rational understanding that at any given point in history one’s people could be attacked, subjugated, decimated, or even destroyed by outgroup members. (more…)

He [Rousseau] had nothing new, but he set everything on fire. — Madame de Staël

Starting from unlimited freedom I arrive at unlimited despotism. — Shigalev, in Dostoevsky’s The Devils

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, not Karl Marx is the real father and inspiration for the theater of the absurd that is today’s Left. Rousseau’s “Man is born free, everywhere he is in chains” is the original formulation of the adolescent anarchist rally-cry, “Rage against the machine!” (more…)

Women. You can’t live with ‘em and you can’t kill ‘em. — Mad Dog and Glory

“Reality”: the world or the state of things as they actually exist.

One succinct way to characterize the Western “democracies” is that they are, in all their various manifestations, anti-reality regimes. For starters, they are not really what they piously call themselves — “democracies” — in any accepted definition of the term. The governments of these countries are cabals of oligarchs who use political parties as fronts for advancing the interests of backroom, money-connected players. (more…)

Lipton Matthews has advised Republican politicians to stop pandering to black people. Of course, he’s correct. Any Republican politician who wants to win elections would be well served by reading Matthews’ recent Counter-Currents article. His argument boils down to white Republicans failing to consider the “collectivistic mentality of black people” (more…)

Contrite acts can never endear the Republican Party to black Americans. For decades, Republicans have naively assumed that blacks will reward them with competitive support for their energetic pandering and they are yet to reap the fruits of their labor. Republicans are unwilling to accept that for black people, voting is an expression of group solidarity. (more…)
