What makes society so destructive? Day after day, we see our elected leaders making stupid and terrible decisions — with the consent and often encouragement of the populace. Most seem to at best treat it as an amusing sideshow, and at worst, attempt to sabotage it by choosing nonsense answers and ideology. Much of this [...]

1968
We all live in the shadow of the past because we are tied to the generation cycle. What people learn when they’re young is what twenty to forty years later they pass on. 1968 stays with us for a different reason. It is the ultimate form of the parent ideology that started in 1789 when [...]
Shiba Ryotaro Meets the Gays
In the 1980s, the famous Japanese novelist Shiba Ryotaro took a trip to America. His intelligent reflections on American and Japanese culture were turned into a book, Amerika Sobyou, which is still widely read today. One of the chapters of this book that stands out for me is his interview with influential homosexual activists in [...]
Every land gets the government it deserves
A popular refrain these days is, “No good deed goes unpunished.” People like to say this, and in normal conversation, it’s too controversial to decode it because it is so popular. Let me tell you what it actually means: “I do good deeds, and I’m sick of doing it, because there’s no reward, but I [...]
Assorted glimpses
Francis Fukuyama, A man of Hegelian dogma. He would do well to read some Burke, To give his Neo-Connery a final shirk. Alex Pareene Mocks Jonah Goldberg with a mind so keen. But his loathing of John Derbyshire, Fills me with fiery ire. Ira Glass, A true mascot of the New Class. His voice babbles on beautifully, Stuffing me with [...]
A dialogue on The Jews
Gentleman: Are you pro-Israel? Me: I am pro-nationalist, which means I’m both pro-Israel and support the right of any ethnic group to exclude all others. This is a nuanced and complex view to a situation most prefer to make one-dimensional. The message I have for white people is to support and imitate Israel, as they [...]
R.I.P. “Racist” 1936-2013
In the future, as they struggle to rebuild from within that which failed from within, people will remember 2013 fondly as the year the word “racist” died. They will remember how the United States, in a paroxysm of guilt that can only be salved through public charity, elected a half-black President despite the warning signs: [...]
Reality versus appearances
It can seem strange, or out of place, even, that a Danish conservative might submit an article to an American website. I am after all a conservative who take prides in his cultural background and language. Why should I be interested in a website named after another country? The answer may lie in the mysterious [...]
How conservatives differ from liberals
In 1789, a movement was launched within the West to destroy the West. This ideology was designed not to cause an effect in the world, but to cause an effect in the mind, so that those who adopted it could pretend they were doing good things and living a great life while in fact they [...]
Groups
All my life I have been confused by “groups.” How does one form a “group?” What motivates people to form groups? When is a group officially a “group?” What do groups do? When I was a kid I assumed this would all make sense when I was grown up, but my mind still reels. They [...]
