Muslims blocking streets in London or Paris, Sikhs staging martial pageantry, Hindus building oversized temples and statues abroad, Indians boasting about the number of Indian CEOs in American corporations, Africans amplifying dance, ornament, and sexuality—Westerners often mistake such displays for confidence or cultural pride.
It is the opposite. (more…)

Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.
-Niccolò Machiavelli
There are two distinct ways in the modern world to be a victim. The first is to be an individual who suffers from an act of evil, moral or physical, deliberately inflicted by another individual or individuals. (more…)

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…)

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.

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…)
