According to legend, an independent, truthful, and unbiased press is a vital pillar of democracy. There’s a certain mystique about intrepid journalists facing the night and storm in their trench coats and fedoras, out to fight corruption and bring the powerful to heel, armed only with their pens and notepads. Their aim was nothing but the truth: “Just the facts, Ma’am.” (more…)

But there are in our country semi-Trotskyites, quarter-Trotskyites, one-eighth Trotskyites, people who help us, not knowing of the terrorist organization but sympathizing with us. — Karl Radek at the Moscow show trials, 1937 (more…)

The word “moronic” was never a particular favorite of mine, but a few years ago it started coming to mind increasingly at things I heard people say. At first I thought I must be getting less tolerant, but I eventually concluded that there was indeed a rising tide of moronity. To record the fact, I started making a note of statements that especially triggered me. (more…)

Fighting back using only the weapons your enemy allows you to use will always fail. This is why we should beware of any so-called allies who insist that we should stick with such dull, worn-out weapons. Either they want us to lose, or they are too clueless to realize how useless these weapons really are.
This occurred to me while reading a Quillette article by Jonathan Kay about the late Canadian school principal Richard Bilkszto. (more…)

Part 7 of 7 (Part 1 here, Part 6 here)
We have no standards to judge what are “good” and “bad” forms of being a human, since there are no subjects existing outside the contingencies of historical time and power relationships. All we can do is engage in “discourse analysis” so as to uncover existing hierarchies by analyzing the fields of knowledge through which they are legitimated. We can engage in questioning how we came to be the “humans” we think we are, such as how we came to think that we have natural rights to life, liberty, and happiness, but such a questioning can only show us how our current way of being human is historically contingent and thus changeable.

“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…)

Howard University is one of the most prestigious black institutions of higher learning in the world. I believe it was named after radio shock jock Howard Stern, and I remember hearing that it sits catty-cornered across the street from Opie and Anthony Junior College. (more…)

As everyone knows, “It’s no secret that Florida has a large antisemitism problem,” that Jews are “one of the country’s most vulnerable minorities,” and that “[a]ntisemitism is spreading like cancer nationwide and needs to be stopped.” If you don’t agree with all of these statements, there’s a word for people such as you.

We all know and love the stories about how President Joe Biden was so racially tolerant as a young’un, he allowed black youths at the swimming pool where he claimed to be a lifeguard to marvel at his hairy legs. That pool is also where he claims to have met and befriended a notorious black gangster known as “Corn Pop.” (more…)

“Parallelomania” is a term used in the study of history and religion. It entails ascribing a significant relationship between two works of scripture, myth, or literature simply because they parallel each other in some way. These parallels can be trivial or taken out of context, or a scholar can proclaim that such works share a common source or a causal link without any direct evidence. In either case, coincidence and other factors are ruled out. A great example is insisting there was a worldwide pre-historic flood because several ancient cultures had flood myths.
In keeping with the spirit of parallelomania, I will now proclaim that Robin DiAngelo and Greg Johnson occupy opposite sides of the same coin. (more…)

Australian aborigines have never forgiven the white man for bringing air conditioning to the arid wasteland they call home. They have a median IQ of 62, which explains their eternal plight far better than dim intangibles such as “racism.” Their ghastly prehistoric visages qualify them as the most punishingly ugly people in world history.
