The Cool, Calm, and Collected Civil War Companion

Communist agitators and revisionist history tend to go quite well together. When people use the tired phrase "those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it"--or some variation of this nonsense--they always fail to realize that the "history" that they're "remembering" has been retconned and corrupted by the insidious media, elitist corporate and globalist… Continue reading The Cool, Calm, and Collected Civil War Companion

The New Cosmopolitics: Will America Ever Come Back From This?

Cosmopolitics is an old, barely-used term that has something to do with separating politics from culture in such a way that irrational and unrealistic ideas can be discussed outside the realm of reality. Essentially, a way for the apolitical “Cosmopolitan” or “Globalist” with no desire to inform themselves in the age of information to talk… Continue reading The New Cosmopolitics: Will America Ever Come Back From This?

The Deceptive Dystopia of the Wuhan CoronaVirus

A Scintillating Scenario at CPAC 2020

Big ideas and bad actors: The death of modernity

Maybe our relationship with video games isn’t so simple

Every time a seemingly random act of violence occurs, our brains rely on social and cultural clues to bring some sense of reason to what is potentially unreasonable. Our brains, however, have another natural response to contradicting stimuli or irrational behavior; and that's called "cognitive dissonance." Cognitive dissonance occurs when one is aware that something… Continue reading Maybe our relationship with video games isn’t so simple
