Why the West Needs the Church
[image error]
The greatest pretense of the French Revolution is that you could separate action from valuation; that you could separate Church and State. That the affairs of this world could be solved through reason alone, while matters of spirituality and moral development could be shuffled off to the private realm.
It is an understandable pretense. Catholicism has never been a theocracy, where the rulers are semi-divine and beyond reproach; and the Church has long made a point of being above politics,...

The Inevitable Decay of Online Movements
Robert Conquest had three laws of politics:
Everyone is conservative about what he knows best. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.It is the second law which we will be concerning ourselves with here: the inevitable decay of any organization, when it loses its way.
Labeling this decay as “becoming left-wing” is a bi...

Podcasting Update: the Alt Right, Virtue, and Gamma Males
I have recently been on several podcasts, where we discussed both the contemporary issues faced by the men of the West, as well as the eternal struggles that men of all eras have faced.
The first included Matt Forney, and Jolly Crocodile, discussing the cult-like degradations into base hedonism that are popping up throughout the Alternative Right. On the one hand, these voices are simply the loud minority, but I worry that Gresham’s Law will come into play here, the bad voices driving out th...

How God Looks At Us Like Children
A Catholic friend of mine, who wishes to remain anonymous, reflects on God through the lens of his job working in an Emergency Room.
In recent years, I’ve often wondered how God can look at us all with affection. How is it that He is able to look at us with the affection of a father? How can we—disgusting creatures filled with sin that we are—resemble anything like children to the Creator? There are Islamic murderers, catty in-your-face sodomites, grotesquely obese gluttons, drugged out me...

The Terror of a Swastika: Eichenwald’s Bugbear
The latest piece of political theatre to grace the tubes has been the amusing non-event of Kurt Eichenwald, editor at Vanity Fair, writer for Newsweek, and virulent anti-Trumper, accidentally tweeting out a picture which revealed his interest in MILF themed hentai comics.

He was arguing with Tucker Carlson at the time, worrying at the Fox News correspondent over the eternal threat of Antisemitism, unaware that he’d failed to close the tab in his browser which was opened on to the Bi-Chiku he...

The Challenge of Integrating Video Game Mechanics and Narrative While Maintaining Suspension of Disbelief in BioShock
Suspension of Disbelief is a vulgar necessity in fiction. Every story starts off with the implicit statement “Let’s pretend…” Let’s pretend that this story really happened, so we can be emotionally invested in the outcome. Let’s pretend that coincidences and destiny present themselves so prosaically that we can sum up a life in 300 pages. Let’s pretend that motives are clear, and the narrative certain, so that we can ignore the jumble within history as well as within ourselves.
Let’s prete...

The Latent Effeminacy of the Modern Political Economy
In my last post I described six major nodes of conflict and contradiction which have come to a head in recent years, all of which involve questions of monetization and content creation under the Internet paradigm. Today I’d like to analyze a theme running throughout all of them, a fundamental orientation to the world that is common to all sides in this struggle: that of latent, modern effeminacy.
The full extent of this effeminacy was first elucidated by Ann Barnhardt. She writes:
~ Effemin...

Tectonic Rumblings: What’s Going to Happen to the Alt Media?
For some time now, there have been tremors moving through the Alt Media; foreshocks of a coming seismic event. Recently these shocks have been coming more frequently, and are increasingly evident to audiences, as well as content creators. There have been several attempts to fight back against the growing wave of censorship, but thus far they’ve been reactionary: an attempt to fight back against a single node rather than the entire network, with the goal of maintaining the “Wild West” status...

T-shirt for Sale: Canadian Kananaskis Copter Rides
I recently teamed up with Rayce Riot Apparel to start selling a shirt, the idea of which has been bouncing around in my mind for a while now: Canadian Kananaskis Copter Rides – Communists Ride for Free!
For those of you who are wondering, Kananaskis is a national park in the Rocky Mountains; Canada’s Yellowstone, essentially. Buy yours today, and send me some shekels, goy!

The Fight for Civilization Requires Heroic Men

Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you’re worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
~Leonard Cohen, First We Take Manhattan
It was roughly two weeks ago that the Trump mystique imploded. His bombing of Syria went against his campaign promises, his Attorney General Jeff Sessions seems more interested in marijuana than the Antifa terrorists...
