Reactionaries are fond of saying there are three independent nations on the earth: America, Russia, and China. Everyone else is under the boot of the Cathedral, except for a few small protectorates of Russia and China. Each sovereign nation has its own Twitter equivalent, which enforces the values of its own state religion. It looks …

RNC convention: No riots, no floor fight, Trump in charge.
The headlines and stories about the floor fight were written in advance. I heard what I presume was the floor fight live. The speaker called a vote that the troublemakers should not be given the opportunity to sound off, that that part of the proceedings should be skipped. Thunderous ayes. Two or three nays, perhaps …
Another prediction: No kayfabe at the Republican National Convention.
At the coming Republican National Convention Trump will be officially nominated as Republican candidate for president, in a process more like a coronation than a vote. A long distance outside the coronation, there will be small, and exceedingly peaceful protests. Anyone unpeaceful will be hammered down so hard and fast you will scarcely get a …
Trucks gone wild
Our rulers’ position is now clear. We should learn to live with terrorism. Unlimited immigration will continue, and it is unthinkable and morally abhorrent to object to anyone in the world moving to America and living on crime, welfare, and voting left. The continued existence of borders and citizenship in a world dominated by progressive …
Defense of capitalism:
Reactionary future criticizes capitalism from the right. Capitalists have power independent of the state. They are apt to use that power politically. Example George Soros. By and large, capitalists overwhelming back the left. But, if they back the left, they are sucking up to power, or like the NGOs, serving the state when the state …
Separation of Church and State has failed catastrophically.
Same problem as anarcho capitalism. The vacuum is apt to be filled. And today it is filled with an official government belief system that daily becomes more extreme, and is enforced more coercively. In retrospect it is clear that in England the demand to disestablish the Anglican Church came from a competing religion, then called …
Teaching boys to be beta
I was watching “Troy”. And for the first hour it was totally great. The mother of Achilles, who has the power of prophesy, and is believed to be a goddess or something similar, prophesies that if he goes to war with Troy, he will die in that war, but his name will live for a …
How to give effect to Brexit
Supposedly, if the British voted for exit, the government would immediately invoke article 50 – would give notice that Britain was resigning from the EU. That is what the prime Minister told them. Well, the British voted for exit, and surprise, surprise, the government is not invoking article 50. The prime minister lied. What a …
George Soros on Brexit
Mixed in amongst the usual lies, were some truths. The “Leave†campaign exploited the deteriorating refugee situation – symbolized by frightening images of thousands of asylum-seekers concentrating in Calais, desperate to enter Britain by any means necessary – to stoke fear of “uncontrolled†immigration from other EU member states. Why the quote marks around “uncontrolled†…
All slopes are slippery
The Guardian remarks: The deeper fear among Tory remainers now isn’t just of a recession. It’s about the rise of something new in British politics When Tony Abbott halted illegal immigration to Australia he took a total no exceptions policy – not one illegal would be allowed in or allowed to stay, however sad his …
