I examined the video frame by frame. At nine seconds, Yellow Hat is walking swiftly and calmly through the crowd of thugs blocking access to Milo’s speech, and no one pays him any attention. He appears to be just another protester helping block access. At 17 seconds Bald Man suddenly starts running towards him, and Yellow Hat abruptly starts backing away At 19 seconds, a big yell goes up from …
Police fine with left wing violence
Milo attempted to give a talk. Leftists arrived to blockade the talk and prevent people from entering. The blockade was allowed to succeed, in that only those who came early got in. People who merely arrived on time were prevented from entering. Bricks, firecrackers and paint were thrown at officers and others — and then a gunshot rang out. … Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole said there were no arrests …
97% of scientists support the scientific consensus on climate change
And one of them is the Senior Fellow at the Alliance for Climate Education, who has just been charged with murdering a woman in what is obviously a race hate crime, though of course when white women get murdered, it does not count and nobody cares very much. And as marginal electorates in flyover country that have had large numbers of Syrian refugees dumped on them are discovering, when white …
Deploraball totally cucked.
Pepe banned from the Deploraball, which means the left gets to define what symbols mean, and what symbols are permitted. If the left can ban Pepe from the Deploraball, they can make Deploraball attendees cheer someone in drag as “stunning and brave”, and the first Deploraball attendee to stop cheering loses his job, and will never be able to get another job.
The liberty of the slaves
The Dark Enlightenment and neoreaction recommend reading old books, and taking them seriously as the works of civilizations whose knowledge we have lost and whose institutions and social order we no longer understand, reading them to find out what evils Chesterton’s fences once held back. Thermidor has noticed a great gem in Seneca: That the modern conception of liberty is the liberty that the Romans allowed to slaves and small …
Open Letter to Scott Aaronson
Obviously you are not going to read this, because even though you keep patting yourself on the back about how open minded you are and how you refrain from cutting off contact with those who disagree with you, how you love all of humanity and want to maximize utility, you are in fact isolated in a self imposed bubble and blinded by hatred, self imposed ignorance, crimestop, and ignorant prejudice, …
Seeking war with Russia
I have been reading the rationales for actions and policies likely to lead to nuclear war with Russia, and they are incoherent, absurd, and make no sense. They are obviously post hoc rationalizations. The person posting wants war, and looks for justifications until he finds something that is socially acceptable and that he can pretend makes sense. They use Argumentum Ad Baculum (we need to blow up Russia or I …
Daily Shoah doxed for not being sufficiently anti semitic
If the Daily Shoah is insufficiently anti semitic and pro Hitler, who is sufficiently anti semitic and pro hitler? If they doxed me for being insufficiently enthusiastic about wanting to rob and murder Jews in sufficient numbers, there would be some logic in that, but the Daily Shoah? Those doxers are evil and crazy, they are our enemies – because none of us is sufficiently anti semitic. The Daily Shoah …
The perils of government intervention in health care.
It is mighty embarrassing if a sick person is turned away from hospital to die in the street because he has no money. So the kindly government insists that sick poor people be treated for free. But if the hospital is going to treat poor people for free, then the hospital is going to besieged by people with carefully memorized symptoms for vague and difficult to treat diseases who show …
Progressive Jews divorce Israel and religious Jews.
German court calls torching a synagogue free speech against Israel. Arsonists get suspended sentences, which is to say, go unpunished. If you say that the holocaust was not exactly as officially depicted, that is not free speech, but an act of hate. Molotov cocktails, however are OK.
