Defunding: The Most Effective Weapon in Our Arsenal?
When it comes to resisting the depredations of the Left, the best tactic is defunding/divestment. It's easy: just refuse to give money to your alma mater, say. When their bean counters make an appeal you simply ignore it, or explain why you will not fund opposition to your values. It costs nothing. No check to…

Do You Value Your Health?
Then you must be a white supremacist. This Unsinn is beneath refutation, but you ought to be aware of it. It supplies further reasons to divest the so-called 'universities' and to never vote Democratic.

Christianity and Politics
The Christian who sees politics with worldly eyes must support Donald J. Trump. The Christian who doesn't must withdraw from the fight and turn the other cheek even if it means getting slaughtered, just as Jesus allowed himself to be slaughtered. But the apolitical Christians won't be slaughtered right away. They will first have to…

What We are Up Against
It helps to know the enemy and not be as naive as a Mona Charen. Despite her manifold lovelinesses and virtues, Charen is a useful idiot for the Left and a useless idiot for us. (She is what I call a 'topical idiot'; she is obviously not a total idiot. And while I am abusing…

Memo to Leftists
Erase history and you won't be able to learn from it, including the dire consequences of erasing it.

The Cancel Culture’s Icons are Subject to Cancellation
Arnold Ahlert: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” —Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals The American Left has embraced a cancel culture whereby those who evince even the slightest deviation from moral perfection, no matter how long ago it occurred, is grounds for turning ordinary Americans into pariahs — and obliterating…

You’ve been Cancelled and Sacked; Why Grovel?
Here: Even liking the wrong tweets can cost you your career. Mike McCulloch, a math lecturer at Plymouth University, was recently investigated by his employer for liking a tweet that read “All lives matter.” Here in Canada, Michael Korenberg, chair of the board of governors for the University of British Columbia, was forced to step…

Leftism is not a Religion
Leftism is not a religion, but it is importantly like a religion.* How so? Religions make a total claim on the lives of their adherents, and the committed latter live accordingly. The serious Buddhist, for example, does not merely meditate for an hour in the morning; he tries to bring the mindfulness of the meditation…

Chess is Racist!
Not only is chess racist, it is also sexist and patriarchal. The fact that the Queen is the most powerful piece on the board proves nothing to the contrary. The powers allowed to the Queen are in truth nothing more than so many sops thrown to the feminists to keep them quiet. The sexism and…

Academentia
The Mandatory Banality of University Presidents. Excerpt: Outrage has been stirred. An “incomprehensible loss” (Bacow) has befallen us. “Anger, pain, and fear” (Casey) have been unleashed. Something must be done to bring about communities that are “truly safe, supportive, and inclusive for all” (Price). Worse, this killing comes on top of the epidemic that “has…

A Comment Thread on Tribalism and Identity Politics from December, 2015
Part of an uncommonly good thread. Here is the entry to which the thread attaches. …………………………………………………. Anon, My point was that many short comments are better than one long one. One problem here is that I tossed out a word, 'tribalism,' but did not define it. What's worse is that I used it very loosely.…

When Quotation Suffices for Refutation
'White America' is a syndicate arrayed to protect its exclusive power to dominate and control our bodies, Sometimes this power is direct (lynching), and sometimes it is insidious (redlining). But however it appears, the power of domination and exclusion is central to the belief in being white, and without it, "white people" would cease to…

Grievance is a Growth Industry
Leftists cling to their grievances despite progress made and remedies applied. And then they invent new ones. For they must remain permanently aggrieved. That is who they are: permanently adolescent in a state of permanent rebellion. That they have less and less to be angry about means nothing. The merest microaggression suffices to 'trigger' them.…
