• Commented on "Tomorrow belongs to me"
  You have to admit that it's pretty bizarre to call everyone “racist” who simply wants to maintain the ethnic status quo in their homeland. By this logic, pretty much the whole world is racist, which begs the question of why...
• Commented on "Tomorrow belongs to me"
  I'd go so far to say that the EU bureaucracy and leadership is functionally anti-fascist: they're post-nationistic, elitistic-technocratic, and not at all about the idea of a former golden age that they want a return to. The question is, are...
• Commented on "Tomorrow belongs to me"
  It's puzzling that people who support leaving the soft fascist construct called the EU are being called “fascists”. At its root, the EU is a Synarchist empire: a construct of unelected elites whose main purpose seems to be to thwart...
• Commented on The unspeakable truth
  Buh-bye EU, buh-bye globalism, hello sovereignty and sanity....
• Commented on The unspeakable truth
  It seems that globalism is producing a predictable blowback: increased nationalism and ethnocentrism. In a world where people are being uprooted and forced to compete with people around the world for the benefit of rootless capitalists, the desire for a...
• Commented on The unspeakable truth
  The European Union looks like another failed dream, created by people from another era. Trying to unite vastly disparate groups of people across continents and impose a centralized culture, political system, economy, etc. is what empires do, and this is...
• Commented on A game of consequences
  Discipline would be strict with the space cultists. Eskimos supposedly pushed sociopaths off the ice to solve that problem. Space cultists could send their anti-socials into the Void via the nearest airlock....
• Commented on A game of consequences
  I like the idea of a religious community where the religion is something like “Cosmism”, and the place is a commune of space freaks who are on a sacred mission to open the High Frontier. Ever hear of the Overview...
• Commented on Holding pattern (part N ...)
  (Despite all of which I guess you're right and she'd be the lesser weevil when you run her checklist against Trump, Cruz, Rubio, and the rest of the killer klown kar krew. Groan.) I think people are a little confused...
• Commented on Holding pattern (part N ...)
  I do like leaders with confidence, style and panache. You have to admit that Trump at least has that. Whatever that makes me, so be it....
• Commented on Holding pattern (part N ...)
  Wouldn't it be funny if we had a reverse French Revolution, where an out of touch, bourgeois liberal elite spouts platitudes and tries to protect their privileges, and a working class conservative mob with nothing to lose drags them to...
• Commented on Holding pattern (part N ...)
  LOL right, this attitude is kinda what I'm talking about ;)...
• Commented on Holding pattern (part N ...)
  Trump is no Hitler; he not only has Jewish friends, he has a Jewish son-in-law ;) How failed is the Democratic Party if billionaire Trump is the class warrior and champion of the working/middle class, at least in a lot...
• Commented on Maneuvers in the Dark
  How is a president supposed to look? Which president did Obama look like? What precisely is wrong with a president who looks like a butcher?...
• Commented on Maneuvers in the Dark
  I think it's a fun election season. If your choice is always between the two candidates preferred by the establishment and its media, then your democracy is as phony as a Soviet election. Hillary (or Bush) reminds me of Andropov...
• Commented on Maneuvers in the Dark
  (Arggh, let's try again.) Right, Amerika has a coastal pirate occupation regime, not unlike what you have throughout the Anglo Empire. As heartland freedom fighters, we would like to push these "rim regimes" into the sea, just like our anti-imperialist...

• Commented on The paranoid style in 2016
  Actually, in Amerikan democracy, what Trump is doing seems quite intelligent. He's not trying to become a math professor; he's trying to get elected president. Do you think people get this position for the subtlety of their thought or the...
• Commented on Long range forecast
  In a civilizational contraction/collapse, everyone's sacred cows get gored, and fragile ideologies get discarded. One of the first casualties is the notion, popular in ivory tower leftist circles, that all opposition to immigration invasions among Western populations is a manifestation...
• Commented on Long range forecast
  I sometimes wonder how people reconcile this rather bleak, nihilistic view of life with an interest in, say, climate change activism. Why bother trying to “save the planet” when there's so little time, and the scale of the problem is...
• Commented on Science-fictional shibboleths
  The Archdruid John Michael Greer is apparently starting a whole new SF subgenre that rejects the main shibboleths of science fiction: the Religion of Progress and the Apocalypse/Star Trek dichotomy. His latest blog post has more: http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-flutter-of-space-bat-wings.html...
• Commented on Bombing Syria Considered Stupid
  Maybe, but what constitutes a “better life” is a lot of what the conflict is about. Osama Bin Laden had a great life by most standards, and I can point you to quite a few comfortable Westerners and Western-raised Muslims...
• Commented on Bombing Syria Considered Stupid
  I'm an outsider too, but I've spent quite a bit of time studying jihadist thought, and my takeaway is that secular Westerners who insist on viewing everything through a materialist, rationalist lens and don't take seriously the religious and mythic...
• Commented on Bombing Syria Considered Stupid
  Large scale migrations, slaughters on the streets of capitol cities, retreating empires, lost wars, brutal barbarians on the periphery -- it's starting to look a lot like Late Rome II to me!...
• Commented on Bombing Syria Considered Stupid
  The jihadist pdf “The Management of Savagery” from 2004 outlines the strategy ISIS is following. Provocation, polarization, and breaking the “halo of invincibility” around the superpower. Force the population to choose sides with extreme violence, provoke the superpower in order...
• Commented on Quiet in here, isn't it?
  Should he get the nomination I predict a Clinton landslide ... I seriously doubt it. Trump appeals to a wide spectrum of people, probably because he does embody the American ethos in a lot ways. In American democracy, the guy...
• Commented on A Storm Of Stories
  I’ll tell you what I’m doing: I create not just books, videos and web sites, but entire cults and tribes to go with them, complete with ways of life, memes, even language. It’s not very lucrative so far, but it’s...
• Commented on Ia, Ia, Google Fthagn
  I don’t find these Cthulhu analogies that persuasive. I think a more relevant deific archetype for the present age is the Dajjal (Muslim Antichrist), and the Dajjal System. What is the Dajjal System? It’s the entire “Satanic” world order being...
• Commented on Any Sufficiently Advanced Technology Is Indistinguishable From Cthulhu
  I think you’re forgetting the ideological dimension: ISIS has a grand narrative to sell to other Muslims (reinstating the Caliphate upon the methodology of the Prophet, eliminating the apostate puppet regimes from Muslim lands, etc.), which some are clearly buying....
• Commented on Any Sufficiently Advanced Technology Is Indistinguishable From Cthulhu
  Yeah, barbarian warbands are one of the more durable and effective modes of human organization (check out the Archdruid’s latest blog for more on that). The fact that they’re starting to crop up now and gaining momentum suggests that late...
