Revising the NRx Map

I’m sure everyone who is familiar with NRx had seen the NRx map, which groups some of the major ‘alt right’ blogs into various categories: The map was created in 2013 and needs to be updated to include new websites, but I also think the nine categories can be reduced to just two: the ethno-nationalists/traditionalists… Continue reading Revising the NRx Map

Why Police Fire At Targets Multiple Times

Michael Brown, Ferguson County, and ‘Black Lives Matter’ are in the news again, and there are a couple misconceptions about police conduct and police weapons that need to be dispelled – that a lethal shot is instantly lethal (like in the movies) and that stun guns and tasers should be as effective as guns at… Continue reading Why Police Fire At Targets Multiple Times

‘Black Lives Matter’ – Dividing the Nation

The site is under a heavy hacking attack, so if you see posts about spam ignore them. Too bad ‘black lives matter’ is about dividing the nation, not helping mend the wounds http://www.unz.com/isteve/ferguson-yet-again http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3190883/Bernie-Sanders-forced-abandon-rally-Black-Lives-Matter-protesters-storm-stage-hold-four-minute-silence-Michael-Brown.html http://www.unz.com/isteve/silenced-in-seattle-videos-of-bernie-sanders-being-shouted-down-by-angry-blacks There is some speculation that George Soros, who is pro-Hillary, is behind this, either by splitting the Democratic vote or… Continue reading ‘Black Lives Matter’ – Dividing the Nation

Why the Web 2.0/Tech 2.0 ‘Bubble’ Refuses to Burst

In agreement with Marc Andreessen, there probably won’t be a web 2.0 correction for a long time. Right now we have interest rates still at zero, and there is so liquidity in the world right now, so much wealth. Every time web 2.0 is supposed to burst, such as in 2012 following Facebook’s unspectacular IPO,… Continue reading Why the Web 2.0/Tech 2.0 ‘Bubble’ Refuses to Burst

RE: Lost Decade

In response from Reddit to my post about America not being in a lost decade: It’s a pretty weak argument this guy makes. Some of his points are “We have uber, netflix and the large hadron collider now, so things are better!” also “Stock prices are soaring, so the economy must be doing great!”. I… Continue reading RE: Lost Decade

Atheist Liberals’ Pastor Jon Stewart Final Taping

I am not the most religious person, but when the left attacks religion for being conformist, they should at least look in the mirror first. The similarities are uncanny: And finally, if the left is as smart as they pretend to be, why does Jon Stewart, who mocked Palin for using a teleprompter, needs one… Continue reading Atheist Liberals’ Pastor Jon Stewart Final Taping

The Trump PR Machine

Trump has momentum. The question is, will he follow through or drop-out as he as done every time before. IMHO, Trump is an establishment candidate pretending to be anti-establishment. It’s possible he is helping Jeb by making the ‘establishment’ seem more electable by comparison. People assume his one comment about immigration makes him a rebel,… Continue reading The Trump PR Machine

Birth ‘Lottery’ Does Not Preclude Meritocracy

DOES ‘BIRTH LOTTERY’ TRUMP THE AMERICAN DREAM? There is a long-standing debate among economists and sociologists if the birth ‘lottery’ – factors outside of the control of the individual, such as parent’s income, IQ, and race, precludes the existence of the meritocracy. When a child wins the “birth lottery” by being born into a higher-income… Continue reading Birth ‘Lottery’ Does Not Preclude Meritocracy

What is Better Than a Republic? (Hint: It’s Not Democracy)

Off-topic: The Grey Enlightenment RSS Feed can be found here Here Scott Asks: What is Better Than a Republic? He writes, But if I get to vote on every issue, I feel a personal responsibility to the people affected. There is a big difference between watching your elected representatives abuse a minority group and doing… Continue reading What is Better Than a Republic? (Hint: It’s Not Democracy)
