A Dark Episode

In addition to being low energy this week, I have been in a dark mood. Maybe it is the season. Maybe it is my breakneck schedule. Tough to know. I’m overdue for some time off, but the demands of building a media career do not permit it. That and the day job, which pays the bills, has been keeping me busy, so I have been burning the candle at both ends. That means this week’s show is a bit low energy and bit dark.

This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. The precision at hitting the mark on each segment is astonishing now. That brings me unlimited joy, bordering on bliss. There is also a bonus track on Gab, where I ramble about stuff after having come home from a bourbon tasting. If you are not on Gab, you should be. Despite their flaws, they are the good guys fighting to keep the lamps from going out in the West.

For this week, Spreaker has the full show. YouTube has the four longer segments from the show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android phone commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones.

I really like the phrase “Hitler phone”, and not just because I currently use an iPhone. In a parallel world’s media environment, I suppose that “Hitler phone” could have been the basis of “brand kitsch”, with a suitably goofy ad campaign:

“It doesn’t take a Triumph of the Will to make a call on a Hitlerphone!”

“Port a Hitlerphone over any major carrier. It will be your Final Solution for dropped calls!”

“Hitlerphone: make the Reich choice!”

Smartphones in general are cancer. But at least with the Commiephone, you can de-Googlefy it, blow away the factory OS and turn it into something that’s pretty close to what the old Treo was than the turbo-spy NSA cancer they’ve become today. The Hitlerphone? Not really. You’re pretty much stuck with iOS no matter what. And Apple doesn’t want you popping the hood and doing any service work yourself, they want you to pay them (and pay them), sink deep into their strong manly arms and let them hold and protect you. And screw you from behind, but they also… Read more »

Vox Daycare is super butthurt; just can’t let it go that someone mocked his Wylie Coyote like “genius”. If you aren’t careful you might end up as a villain in one of his puerile comics.

Climate. It’s gotten so politicized at this point, the truth does not matter, whatever the truth is. Only your political alignment matters and like all things political, that becomes rather stable and rigid. So there’s no real point in debating or discussing it, because you already know what someone’s going to say about it based on their other political affiliations.

Ok, the climate is changing. It has always changed. No one that i know of denies that. What people are skeptical of is that humans are responsible for it, even to a miniscule degree. What pisses most of those people off is the fact that governments use faulty science and sensationalist doom saying as an excuse to tax dirt people to an even further extent in order to “combat climate change” or whatever TF that means. It should be as much an insult as any of the blank slate nonsense that is used as an excuse to flush even more… Read more »

Well, the scam was responsible for my looking into the philosophy of science, I didn’t initially have the concepts or vocabulary to have an opinion. And, I knew it. I started out with just some incredulity, and that led me into contrasting credulity vs warranted or unwarranted belief, and so forth.

AGW is just a hypothesis. It’s crooks trimmers and frauds who have given the profession of science a bad name.

The body of well supported theories and the technology that flows from them has never been better.

The scientific method will come back into fashion one day.

It’s always the Cloud People yelling the loudest about How We Must Do Something and the proposals they make almost inevitably screw the Dirt People in some way or another. And the Cloud People are amusingly hypocritical too. If they really cared about what they were yelling out, they wouldn’t fly on the airplanes or drive cars or even take the bus – they’d do the responsible thing and use their own human power or animal power to get around. When it comes down to it, they have a set of political interests and agendas they want to further and… Read more »

Vox has to grow up. He’s done some good stuff but he’s getting conceited and arrogant. If you read him long enough you will see that he lies, doubles down, projects, and exhibits the traits of the gamma male that he so loathes. He’s bang on the money with his comics though. If he does it right (and it’s looking like he is) – he is going to reach young people that old farts like Derb, Yours Truly, and possibly our host – never will.

Yeah, you’re probably more right than wrong on that, Karl. I think he appeals to that crowd by rebelling against the leaders of certain organizations and giving its marginal members an alternate figurehead to speak for them. He stirs up shit wherever he goes. In fairness though, some of those organizations NEEDED to be stirred up and divided and others needed to be burnt to the ground. Others, like the new emerging Right – need all the unity, good press and teamwork we can get. I would like to be charitable and say Vox MIGHT have a place on the… Read more »

For amusement purposes only. Thanks Z, I learn so many new words here.

Assemblage theory is an ontological framework developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, originally presented in their book A Thousand Plateaus (1980). Assemblage theory provides a bottom-up framework for analyzing social complexity by emphasizing fluidity, exchangeability, and multiple functionalities.[1] Assemblage theory asserts that, within a body, the relationships of component parts are not stable and fixed; rather, they can be displaced and replaced within and among other bodies, thus approaching systems through relations of exteriority [1

The whole concept of global warming was conceived by the UN as racket to shift even more money (read: power) from the United States to the the UN itself, who had plenty of ethics deficient scientists lined up, desperate for grant money, willing to say anything in order to get it. As a fortunate coincidence for them, the fall of the USSR and the related death of the Church of Western Communism left a massive spiritual vacuum for hard leftists desperate for a new god to worship. It was quite obvious to me, even by the late 90’s, that this… Read more »

Voice broadcasting has its own rhythms and paces, as you are discovering, Z. Take a time block and a clock, and you learn how to bring your monologue to a tidy and timely resolution. It is quite satisfying! It supports being measured in your speaking, and going from here to there in a disciplined fashion. A good verbal version of jazz, is what it is.

Rush, for his part, is a master at working the thing. It is fun to listen to him work the blocks of time.

Banning drugs was about black people. Many politicians back in the early to mid 20th c have gone on record saying this is to keep black people away. At one point I would’ve said “dass raciss” and that’s wrong, but these days I wonder if they didn’t have a point, albeit a misguided point.

The problem I had with Reed’s article about child porn was that he brings his proposal of “digital” kids to the normies, like it’s up to us. Even though he martyrs himself in the article title, pushback in the comments was predictably pretty mild. Take this idea straight to the source, meaning the kiddie diddlers themselves, and see if those animals don’t try to burn you at the stake.

In defense of my fellow millennials, a lot of the leftism of this generation is due to millennials being less white than Xers and Boomers. The picture looks different when you look at white millennials specifically: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2017/10/31/a-new-survey-shows-white-millennials-think-a-lot-more-like-whites-than-millennials/?utm_term=.6914119c877e

The reason I am not surprised is that your commentary is incisive and curious. If a thing is true you are bound to come to it. Democracy is not sweetness, or kindness, or enlightenment, it is a beast to be avoided or, if ridden, carefully. Restricted suffrage should by no means extend only to women. But it is disrespectful to women to expect them to do something which twists their virtues into vice. Your original observation is likely true. It is not practical to do the right thing. What follows democracy, if it represents progress, will not likely be democratic.… Read more »

Christianity seems a medium for us to express Whiteness. What is in us.

The Others want to emulate us, rightly.

Christianity can greatly soften their rough edges- Good King Jesus, King of Kings, is a wonderful archetype- but it will degenerate into Voudoun, Santeria, Phalangist, Hate Krishna, or Falun Gong once non-whites adopt it.

We’ve qualified ourselves to be on top.

He’s a white kid. That made me even sadder. White with wealthy parents and a promising future in front of him. But he was attracted to thug crap and chose that way. Now his future options may be quite limited. Ultimately, yes, his actions were his own responsibility and, maybe to some degree, the fruits of his parents’ parenting. But the scummy ghetto culture is now prevalent in white mainstream America.
