The Accelerationist Option
I wrote recently that the only way out is through, but Malcolm Pollack's most recent offering is much better; it is indeed brilliant. It divides into three parts. There is first a litany of what ails us. The second part explains why the ills listed are upon us. The general answer is that . .…

The Demented Dems: Anti-Reality and Anti-Virtue
Anti-reality: House Republicans voted Thursday to ban transgender female athletes from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports by amending Title IX protections to only apply to biologically female athletes. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed 219-203, with no Democrats supporting the measure. Anti-virtue: Homebuyers with good credit scores will soon encounter…

A New Budweiser Joke
One of the old ones goes like this. "Ah had me a coupla Buds, but ahm none the wiser." I suggest as part of the punch back against the Anheuser-Busch Dylan Mulvaney wokery, the following: I had me a couple of Buds and my schlong's no longer a riser. But I am sure you can…

Globalist-Capitalist Woke Leftism II
On 26 January I wrote: The new global-capitalist woke leftism (GCWL) is very different from the old socialist-humanist leftism (SHL, which I take to include both the Old Left and the New Left). I want to understand the similarities and the differences. GCWL versus SHL 1) Both are secular and anti-religion. Since 1789 the Left…

Wokeassery Update
Alex Berenson on mRNAs Black Female DEI Director Cancelled by DEI. De Anza College, Cupertino, California. Not 'woke' enough, not 'diverse' enough to be 'included.' No 'equity' for her! Insufficient 'wokeness' = white supremacy. From the beginning, efforts to obstruct my work were framed in terms that might seem bizarre to those outside certain academic…

The Double Denial by the ‘Woke’
It is not unreasonable to maintain that there is no God and that nature alone exists. But suppose you take it a step further and deny nature as well. Then you are in the precincts of 'woke' lunacy. Call it the Double Denial. One way to deny nature is by denying that the biotic underpins…

2 + 2 = White Supremacy
No doubt.

Are There Any Decent Democrats?
There is at least one. His name is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I recommend his A Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID: An Attack on Science and American Ideals (Skyhorse Publishing, 2022). It is mercifully short, x + 110 pages long, and well worth your time. It is extremely well-documented. The text itself runs to…

A Hot Sauce Rant from 2013
A hot (sauce rant) or a (hot sauce) rant? Both. Parentheses matter! Scope matters. All scope distinctions matter. Mind your p's and q's. Discriminate operators and operands. (Am I sending a coded message?) Substack latest. Don't complain about 'old news.' What are you, a Twitterized 'woke' presentist? There is presentism in the philosophy of time…

Anarcho-Tyranny in the USA
Here by Auron MacIntyre at The Total State (Substack): The city of Philadelphia has announced an agreement to pay a $9.25 million settlement in connection with the police response to protests after the death of George Floyd in 2020. While dozens were killed and billions of dollars of damage were done during the riots that…

Kato Crews: ‘Wokified’ but not Qualified
Another example of how qualifications do not matter to wokesters. UPDATE 3/26. In the related case of the 'wokified' but not qualified Phil Washington, sanity has prevailed.

Academentia in excelsis
DEI and the collapse of the universities. Substack latest.

American Restoration
Substack articles by Bruce Abramson. From his About page: Suppose you think that it’s wrong to discriminate based on race. To the Woke, you’re a racist. Suppose you say that humans are either male or female. To the Woke, that’s dehumanizing. Suppose you champion free speech. To the Woke, you’re promoting hatred. Suppose you think…

Of Wokery and Merit
Destructive, anti-civilizational wokesters are not just against merit, they are positively for anti-merit, dysfunction, incompetence, stupidity, corruption, malevolence, and more. Qualifications don't matter; 'wokifications' matter: being black, female, lesbian, cognitively impaired, truth-insensitive, reality-denying, physically feeble, morally corrupt. Mayorkas, Fetterman, Buttigieg, practically the whole of the Biden administration. After watching this C-SPAN video will you tell…

DIE: ‘Equity’ Can Get You Killed
Here: America’s top medical schools, worried [that] they have too few minority students, are doing something about it. They are lowering academic standards for admission and trying to hide the evidence. Columbia, Harvard, the University of Chicago, Stanford, Mount Sinai, and the University of Pennsylvania have already done so. The list already tops forty, and more…
