Attack the System- Prominent Conservative Thinks Republicans Will Be ‘Hunted’ Under Biden 5th July 2020I am increasingly coming across this kind of rhetoric from both Red Tribe and Blue Tribe partisans: “They want to kill us!” Does the US have an Iraqi, Yugoslavian, Rwandan, Northern Irish, Lebanese, or India/Pakistan future awaiting?Keith Preston
- America Can’t Take Another Four Years of This Lethal Idiot 5th July 2020The Red Tribe and Blue Tribe increasingly view each other as existential enemies. By Umair Haque Eudaimonia I’m going to say something that you probably already know. Another four years of this — the dystopia America’s become under Donald Trump — is unthinkable and nightmarish. Like I said, you probably know that. Yet I think […]Keith Preston
- What If Black America Were a Country? 5th July 2020This is some interesting data. If “Black America” were a country, it would be the 31st largest nation in the world per population size, roughly comparable to England, Canada, Mexico, Japan, or Iraq. “Black America” would be 46th in income per capita, between Italy, the UAE, Russia, and Mexico. The United States as a whole […]Keith Preston

- “Say BLM not ALM” is a performance bond 3rd July 2020And why, you may be asking, do I think it is like a ‘performance bond’ (whatever that may be)? Here is a historical analogy: The symbolic gesture of obeisance to Germany, made by Hungary [in winter 1938-9] but refused by Poland, was adherence to the Anti-Comintern Pact. … It was, of course, known in Berlin […]Niall Kilmartin (Stirling)
- Discussion point – current events show why universal basic income would be a terrible idea 3rd July 2020There are lots of reasons in my mind why UBI would be a bad idea. I know that some libertarians/classical liberals, such as the late Milton Friedman, favoured a form of it in the form of “negative income tax”, but largely because they wanted to sweep together existing welfare benefits into a single payment, and […]Johnathan Pearce (London)

- RAW LAND 11th November 2019by John GrauerholzI love the lonely landscapes, the empty places, the solitary spaces. I am beguiled by the barren scenery that is not quite desert, yet a geography that is still too unforgiving to be farmland. A soil that is not devoid of vegetation, but an earth where all the plants have already turned brown. […]Mr. Mean-Spirited

- On Being Hindu in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan 5th July 2020Most readers of this weblog will already know this story. Far more than I do at least: Construction work at Hindu temple site in Islamabad halted.

- Real Talk on Guns 9th March 2018It is a good idea to both own and be proficient with at least one firearm.

It is important that your weapon and […]Unknown
- Death Wish's Yankee Homo Critics Can Go Fuck Themselves with a Knife 8th March 2018Death Wish was generally panned by film critics - who are almost all a bunch of weak faggots that are scared of guns.
