Scalzied

Author John Scalzi’s propensity for terrified whimpering grovelling before leftists has led Heartiste to coin a new word “Scalzied”: When men are scalzied manboobs and women are manjawed feminists, the bedroom is an arid wasteland of dashed passion.

Why MRAs are whiny mangina losers

The Men’s Rights Activist program is real equality for men and women, wherein women make their own decisions and take the consequences of their own decisions.  It is a logically consistent and libertarian position, but can never be an emotionally consistent position because it is a cold, callous, nasty, hateful position that no one believes in, no one supports, a position that can never be popular. The only logically and emotionally consistent position.that can ever be popular, is Pauline male …

Courage and Nerdliness

The Audacious Epigone reminds us of the courage of John Derbyshire who told us: To the dissident, the only thing worth pondering about the proposition is, is it true? If it is, then no king’s command can falsify it; and if it is not, then not even the assent of a hundred million will make it true. Predictably, one year after he said this, he was persecuted for speaking truth to power. The dissident, therefore, has disturbing characteristics in common …

Students against a democratic society

Excerpts from Carlyle, predicting social decay, in the context of today’s headlines showing social decay. But, as Carlyle observed, in 1848, most of the Kings ran away at the first whiff of gunpowder. He hoped that they might be replaced by a sterner breed of Kings. They are not showing up yet. But, if enough people reject democracy, equality, and all that, perhaps they will. But I don’t think so. I am with Froude, who longed for the return of …

Guns, murder, and race

Stolen from the comment section of Steve Sailer’s excellent blog. Someone who wishes to remain anonymous has assembled data showing that American whites murder at about the same rate as whites in countries with strict gun control, American “Hispanics” murder at about the same rate as they do in their native countries, which generally have strict gun control, and that American blacks murder at about the same rate as blacks do world wide, mostly in countries with strict gun control. …

Mencius on the Fall

Mencius addresses the question:  Does today’s US resemble the late Roman Empire in the west, or the late Roman Republic, in his usual wonderfully cryptic, long winded, and obscure fashion. Mencius’s proposed solution to our crisis, oligarchy or military dictatorship, assumes that America is analogous to the late Roman Republic.  The people have become too degenerate to rule themselves, and so must be ruled by others.   In his latest post, however, he considers the possibility that there really is no …

The left singularity versus the technological singularity

Lately this blog has largely been about the left singularity:  That leftism leads to more leftism, which leads to even more leftism even faster, until everything goes to hell. The best known singularity, however is the information technology singularity, the rapture of the nerds What of the theory that information technology leads to more information technology? Well, in a sense, in the long run, looking back over the last several million years, it is obviously true.  Problem is that it …

Derivatives did it!

Bernie Madoff steals from his depositors. An evil Jew did it! Punish the evil Jew Bernie Madoff. Jon Corzine, pillar of the progressive establishment, senior financial regulator, steals from his depositors. Derivatives did it!. Poor Jon Corzine. We must punish derivatives by regulating them further.

Recent posts on Urban Future vanished

Recent excellent posts on the excellent blog “Urban Future” have mysteriously vanished. Perhaps the bitbucket ate them, but I suspect the problem was that he said “the Left”, instead of saying the US Government. Edit:  In the comments, Nick Land reassures me that they were merely eaten by the bitbucket. He was discussing the left singularity.  He suggests that the left singularity was akin to an alcoholic drinking shoe polish in the gutter, which not only implies that the future …
