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 …
Fed has no gold
Supposedly, the Federal Reserve has mountain of gold, seven thousand tonnes stashed in various places in the US. By an astonishing coincidence, it owes banks in other nations seven thousand tonnes of gold. The Fed owes the German government fifteen hundred tonnes of gold. Germany asked for its gold back. The Fed did not want to give it. So Germany asked for three hundred tonnes of gold back. The fed …
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 …
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. …

Law of conservation of pussy
Reading the manosphere blogs, I notice a lot of husbands complaining that their wife has sex with them once a month, and, of course, no end of nice guys getting no sex at all. A fertile age woman generally has sex at least once a week. As Saint Paul observed, few people have the capacity for continence, whether male or female. So if husband is not getting any, chances are …
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 …
Puritanism, progressivism, and entertainment
I have been watching the English dubbed Japanese anime “Speed Grapherâ€, which is pretty good except for the horrendously heavy handed propaganda. In the anime, money is revolting, immoral and disgusting, sex is revolting, immoral and disgusting, and male sexual pleasure obtained at the expense of females (there being no such thing as male sexual pleasure obtained with female pleasure) is the most utterly disgusting, revolting, and abhorrent of them …
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, …
The watchmaker is dead
When the religion dies, so dies the empire. Europe is the faith, the faith is Europe, and the faith is no more. Everyone who resents the destructive, self indulgent, and self destructive rule of the ever more left wing Cathedral, regrets the passing of Christianity, everyone including the secular right, perhaps especially the secular right, and some of them imagine it could be revived, though the remnant be small as …
