The Dutch (Or “Dutch”) Became World News Yesterday
I’m too lazy to write a proper post today after a long week of work, tweeting, and paying way more attention to the elections than was good for my mental health. I’ll have more to say about Tuesday’s elections in the next coming weeks. Instead, allow me to embed and quote my tweet regarding a…

My Case For Trump
A while back, some anonymous troll on X attempted to “roast” me for writing on January 7, 2021 that “Donald Trump has every right to be bitter and resentful.” He lifted a screenshot with those words from this piece and argued that, therefore, “your opinion has no value.” It’s a peculiar person indeed who distills…

Stampede Of the Brainless Smartphone Addicts
Alright, let’s just call the present iconoclasm what it is: a moral panic. Doing so obviously puts one at risk of being placed on the wrong side of history — or worse, being labeled a racist — but a moral panic it is nonetheless. Those who have been predicting doom and gloom for our Western…

The Logical End Result of Postmodernism Is Here
I’m sure the lockdowns are fanning the flames, as it were, but something else must be going on too. It’s time to drop the pretense that this is about the sad death of George Floyd any longer.
