tldw: elites live in a bubble I disagree with Dr. Murray’s negative assessment of the future of America. In spite of the delamination–culturally and economically–of the elites from everyone else, and increased moral decay, in terms of strong stock market performance, strong dollar, low Treasury bond yields, strong GDP growth, strengthening US-foreign and economic dominance… Continue reading Charles Murray: How Today’s Elites are a Failed Product of the 60s Counterculture
Trump and social media censorship
These tweets by now are sorta old, but Trump addresses social media censorship: Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others…….… Continue reading Trump and social media censorship
Cohen investigation: analysis
As everyone knows, Cohen and Manafort were convicted. Michael Cohen Says Trump Ordered Him To Illegally Interfere In Election Political storm around Trump leads to ‘talk of impeachment’ — but it’s not likely Cohen implicated Trump in campaign finance crimes — but did not name him directly. Here’s why Does this means I was wrong… Continue reading Cohen investigation: analysis
Elon Musk Prediction: Nothingburger
How much trouble is Elon Musk in? My answer: not much. You have to understand how the liberal media FUD machine works: they take a non-story and then blow it up in order to propagate their underlying narrative/goal/desire, and then they try to wrap it in under a false pretense of journalistic impartiality, when they… Continue reading Elon Musk Prediction: Nothingburger
The intellectual richness of the ‘right’
A topic I want to addresses again is why there is typically more infighting among the ‘right’ than the ‘left.’ If you go to almost any popular right-wing blog (such as UNZ Review), Chan, or sub-Reddit, there is almost always infighting in the comments, and it can get pretty hostile and personal quickly, with some… Continue reading The intellectual richness of the ‘right’
Venezuela’s Collapse: Questioning the Media Narrative
I’m sure by now, given the constant media coverage, everyone has heard about the collapse of Venezuela’s currency, the Bolivar. The exchange rate is now a billion Bolivars to one US dollar, or something ridiculously low. The collapse of the Bolivar rivals that of the collapse of the German Reichsmark in the 1920’s, so we’re… Continue reading Venezuela’s Collapse: Questioning the Media Narrative
Alex Jones De-Platforming Part 2: Jordan Peterson’s Response
Jordan Peterson is possibly wrong here. Banning Alex Jones was bad for Facebook because now a lot of people are (temporarily) pissed at Facebook. However, it’s not like Facebook is in a difficult position of having to decide who to ban or not. Facebook, Twitter, Apple, YouTube, etc. constantly ban. They have no trouble banning.… Continue reading Alex Jones De-Platforming Part 2: Jordan Peterson’s Response
Peter Turchin is wrong about Crisis
A recent article by Peter Turchin, The Ginkgo Model of Societal Crisis, went viral and was shared on Vox Day and elsewhere, so I figured it merited a response. It will soon be two years since the US presidential elections of 2016, which should have made it clear to everybody that our society is in… Continue reading Peter Turchin is wrong about Crisis
Alex Jones de-platforming, part 1
All over Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube I’m still seeing anger over Alex Jones’ unexpected termination of his YouTube, Apple, and Facebook accounts. Even people and YouTube channels that have nothing to do with conspiracy theories or politics have chimed in. It’s evident Alex Jones’ de-platforming has a great cultural significance, or is evidence of Alex… Continue reading Alex Jones de-platforming, part 1
Ann Coulter lays off Trump
It seems Ann Coulter in the past few months has stopped ankle-biting Trump. She no longer does the daily border wall updates and has stopped criticizing Trump, in general. Mostly she just re-tweets links, with some commentary of her own, but is not critical of Trump anymore. My guess is, either she got tired of… Continue reading Ann Coulter lays off Trump
