The Left has no use for old white guys, OWGs, except to use them as dupes, especially when it comes to obfuscating the true intentions of Leftism: for example, Gun Control is an obvious cover for gun confiscation but the OWGs in the Democrat party continually deny it. Another example: feminists are pretty honest about their intentions to assume superiority but for tactical reasons they let their O...

Though both the Left and the Right are authoritarian, they are generally distinguishable as the losers or the winners in society: the status quo vs. those who want to be. The Right is normally in control because feudalism works; however, when inequality gets bad enough, resentment & despair will swell the ranks of the Left until they threaten the established order, eventually toppling it, but...

Joseph Stalin led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He rose to power by ruthlessly exploiting his bureaucratic role as secretary of the Bolshevik party, where he was in charge of record keeping & correspondence. He used that power to control the party and eliminate his competition. Stalin was of average intelligence, and had the sociopathy of an Asperger’s. He was certainly a...

Yuri Bezmenov was a former Soviet KGB informant who defected to Canada in the 1970s. He was one of the world’s outstanding experts on the subject of Soviet propaganda, disinformation & active measures to subvert western culture. In 1984, in his book, “Love Letter to the West,” he laid out the four steps necessary to create a Marxist police state in America without firing a shot; they were: Dem...

We all live in a delusion fostered by the stories we’re told and the entertainment we consume: we think the good guy wins out and merit begets success, but the stark fact is, almost everyone is a failure at almost everything they do because they are at the mercy of someone. Who & what you end up to be is mostly the result of who pulls your strings: your family, your work, your church, and to a...

America is not ready for the men vs. women debate; in fact, it’s a no-go topic which is why men are losing, but the fact remains that the problems occurring in the U.S. aren’t the result of some other fault-line: it’s NOT Democrats vs. Republicans; it’s NOT Liberals vs. Conservatives; it’s NOT Fascists vs. Communists; but it IS men vs. women. Men had control until the 1960s then more and more wome...

One of the most important weapons in psychological war is to distort the language by changing the definition of words: for example, “racism” is now defined as any inequality between races rather than discrimination against a race. Another tactic is to create new slogans from existing words that suggest a meaning that is completely opposite: for example, cultural values like conscientiousness, punc...

The huge problem people have when discussing race is that don’t agree on what it is: old-timers think race means skin color but in the modern age, race is only a social construct independent of color: people with light-colored skin can be Black, and as the president of the United States publicly stated, dark-skinned people who don’t agree with the BLM agenda aren’t Black. That brings up the questi...

Nationalism and patriotism often get intertwined: patriotism is a sense of attachment to country and an alliance with other citizens to protect that sense of camaraderie, while nationalism is the belief that a particular culture constitutes a distinct people deserving of political self-determination. American Blacks are torn between the two: on the one hand, patriotism is colorblind and Blacks hav...

“Fascist” is a common epithet in American discourse: it means anybody who doesn’t agree with egalitarianism, the quest for all things being equal. In historical context, between WWI and WWII Germany was ruled by the democratically-elected Weimar Republic: famous for rampant inflation, weak control of security & deconstruction of social norms: the wokeness of the time. In the streets, the Fasci...

The greatest weakness of Capitalism is that everything is for sale, including our news. This has always been a problem but the vibrancy of market economics naturally inspired multiple newspapers in every town with opposing views to somewhat equally represent the political space. Unfortunately, another weakness of Capitalism, the concentration of wealth & power, inevitably allowed single organi...

Let’s review more law & society concepts: 1. Extreme penalties are political ploys to cultivate suburban votes. 2. Bad laws are worse than no laws at all. 3. Civil Asset Forfeiture violates the tenet of due process of law. 4. The State has a monopoly on violence because it’s better than Free Market violence. 5. Incarceration is the equivalent of a college education in some communities. 6. Drug...

Boomers are the people who grew up during the 60s/70s and Millennials are their kids who grew up in the 80s/90s. Like every parents/children generation before them, animosity develops: mostly out of resentment from the younger generation of being subservient to & overshadowed by the older; while the older are jealous to be young & relevant again. Boomers are being pushed out by Millennials...

YouTube is full of channels of men giving other men dating advice, an increasing so-called Manosphere where the attributes of masculinity are encouraged and the scourge of feminism derided. Many of these aspiring mentors have been married previously but they are single now and all have an excuse why. After almost a half-century of successful marriage to a woman I met when I was 18, I have some adv...

America has huge pent up capacity for sharing because we have so much of everything: products, places, time, grandparents. There are Sharing Economy apps to utilize underused assets, like cars, sports equipment, odd jobs, home exchanges, most anything you can imagine. Most of these will fail because they aren’t commercial or just can't get enough folks to sign up but the concept is good. At the sa...

California, because of the weather, is a beautiful place to live and farm. In fact, at about $50 billion annually, farming would be of tremendous economic importance to any other state but it’s only 2% of California’s GDP. California farms grow a significant portion of fruits, vegetables & nuts: for example, 88% of the nation’s strawberries. There’s 77,000 farms on 25 million acres of land, 9...

There’s lots of talk about immigration, spelled with an “i,” with millions of migrants wanting to come into the U.S. yearly, but there’s also emigration, spelled with an “e,” from the U.S., where people go to live in some other country, usually because it’s less expensive, but also to escape something: politics, legal entanglements, family. The number is not very large, only 3-5 million total Amer...

Most people don’t understand why so many choose to use drugs. Who but a drug user would be able to answer? Maybe someone who tried drugs, had a fabulous experience but decided not to do it again because they didn’t have the willpower to stop; they would know people use drugs because of the euphoria it gives them. For all the hand-wringing about the importance of “happiness,” drug users have it, at...

Societies require punishment because sociopaths, 4% of any population, will act against other people’s interests unless the risk is greater than the reward; and psychopaths, 1% of the population, are criminals because they enjoy it. Incarceration, a liberal concept, is the ultimate threat since executions are negligible, and obviously it’s exercised a lot if the amount of prisoners in America is t...

The only thing keeping someone from taking your stuff, raping your wife & killing you is someone else stronger. You by yourself cannot compete with psychopaths and their lusty cousins from committing harm. Even if you band together with your neighbors into a militia, there’s always a bigger one, and that’s assuming you can trust your militia not exploit their power against you. This situation...

Criminal Asset Forfeiture requires someone to be convicted of a crime before government authorities can seize their assets but Civil Asset Forfeiture is when government seizes assets before there is even a charge, and the victim can only get the assets back by suing the government in Civil court at their own expense, and rarely win if they do. There are many cases of people not accused of a crime...

Bad laws are laws that breed contempt for all laws. These are the unenforced laws, selectively enforced laws, and laws that simply can’t be enforced. People are also suspicious of all the new laws every year: how come? Society did just fine with last year’s laws, same for laws a decade ago; there’s even a compelling argument that laws made a century ago are better than today’s laws. Everyone knows...

One of the concepts ushered in by The Enlightenment was penal reform. Before that penalties were harsh: torture and execution were the primary sentences because there weren’t prisons simply because they weren’t practical, except debtors’ prisons where people who owed money worked off their debt. The idea of rehabilitation wasn’t even considered. Liberalism changed all that but extreme penalties st...

Let’s review more economic & retirement concepts: 1. Boiled down to fundamentals, all economics is a Ponzi scheme. 2. Slavery has always been and will always be, though the definition may change. 3. American manufacturing capacity can usually stretch to the situation. 4. No Fault insurance is unpopular among lawyers who make money from finding fault. 5. Capitalists swim in a cesspool of bribes...

American’s shop for value: the most bang for the most buck. There are people who buy for status, and people who only buy the very best, but traditionally American product designers aim for a high feature/cost ratio, so-much-so that we take this strategy for granted. However, Americans who have lived overseas, especially in Europe, are surprised to find that’s not the case around the world, where t...
