Thermidor is last year leftism overthrowing current year leftism. But because leftists have no enemies to the left, no friends to the right, this is a fragile and unstable arrangement, short of bringing in a dictator for life who is a last year leftist. Thermidor, as an oligarchic group, is incapable of defending itself against enemies to the left. Although it is in the interest of the group as a …

The deep state
For a long time they were able to keep the choice to candidates where it did not matter who you voted for. But they had to dial bias in the media up to eleven, and credibility of the legacy media collapsed. Elections were, and in some countries still are, relatively free and fair, because the candidates and parties have identical policies and an elaborate system to prevent any outsiders from …
Time for Kings
The time of Republics has ended. The time of Kings approaches. It is said that comes the hour, comes the man. We shall see. The hour is near, and yet the man is nowhere in sight. The technology and tactics of warfare are rapidly changing, and no one has quite figured it out yet. The meaning of war itself is changing, and its future shape has not yet been revealed. …
Thermidor begins
I have been smelling a Thermidor in the wind for some time, but expected it to begin with the removal, possibly the lethal removal, of some of the people pulling Biden’s strings. This may have happened in a nonlethal fashion, or perhaps they all changed their minds simultaneously. Whatever happened was less visible than I expected. Are all the usual Biden handlers still to be found? Hamas attacked Israel. Suddenly …
The dissolution of the Monasteries 2.0
I always talk about Charles the Second, who undid a left singularity and built good economic and religious institutions. But I also frequently comment that fixing the problem requires the dissolution of the monasteries, which is a reference to Henry the eighth I normally do not cover the news of the day, but couple of days ago, Trump proposed the dissolution of the monasteries. A future American ruler is likely …
Nazis are commies and commies are nazis
Near as makes no difference. Notice that Russia’s leaders say that Russia’s goals in the Ukraine include de-nazification and/or de-communization, without really making a distinction between de-nazification and de-communization. Nazism was radical leftism in its day, and was perceived as radical leftism in its day. And, predictably, Hitler found himself outflanked on the left within the Nazi party, as Stalin found himself outflanked by Trotsky. So he killed them. Whereupon …
The shape of our enemy
The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, is currently in a power struggle with Yoel Roth, the former head of Trust & Safety at Twitter who is featured prominently in the “Twitter Files†released by Elon Musk. Yoel Roth is a Jewish faggot. That he is a Jew and a faggot is in his bio. As head of Trust and Safety, he displayed a strangely relaxed attitude to child …
Capitalism
Time to discuss the nature of capitalism, because fake Nazis on Gab are spouting Marxist history, economics, and theory: The Marxist sees bread on the supermarket shelf, and thinks this a manifestation of a central plan. He thinks we already live in a socialist economy, with big capitalists giving marching orders to little capitalists. And that is why they refuse to acknowledge that Musk is the great rocket scientist of …
Not the Babylon Bee
Somewhat after the last minute, they have proceeded with the real case against Kyle. A bunch of peaceful protestors peacefully protested by smashing cars and setting buildings on fire. The militia showed up toting guns, Kyle among them, to stop this. The peaceful protesters felt this was extremely provocative. Kyle saw a fire, and unwisely went towards it alone carrying his gun and a fire extinguisher. Ziminski was smashing up …
The fall of the Republic
PJ Media correctly observes of the botched and disorderly retreat from Afghanistan: This ensures that the catastrophe, rather than diminishing, has only just begun. It will not end when the last qualified person leaves Kabul but when the U.S. political system has found a constitutional way to clean house. Compare and contrast with the orderly and dignified Soviet retreat from Aghanistan. A constitutional house cleaning is unlikely to be practical, …
