It has been at least a year since I took a deep dive into the published works coming from the grievance studies departments. Back when I did regular Xirl Science segments, I spent a few hours a month perusing the various journals and aggregators, looking for the most amusing items. If that is your intent when reading something like Hypatia, the journal of feminist philosophy, you are spoiled for choice.
Perhaps it has been the long break from reading this material or perhaps they have continued to evolve, but the material seems different now. On the one hand, it is less flamboyantly nutty than I remember. There are far fewer articles that read like satire on the grievance studies rackets. They still exist, but it is clear that the trends have changed, and outrageousness is no longer the in-thing.
Instead, the work is more seriously crazy, as in claims that time itself is a result of oppression and whiteness. They appear to have moved on from claiming that Western culture is a conspiracy by the pale penis people to oppress embodied coloredness and people of uterus, to questioning reality itself. Even though it is loaded with insider jargon, the point of many papers is to question space-time.
This makes sense when you think about the basis of the project. What started out as a belief that culture creates people, so therefore those who “control” the culture create the people to their benefit, must eventually arrive at the conclusion that reality itself is merely a product of cultural control. Therefore, the victim of this can only escape by escaping the reality manufactured by the creators.
There is, of course, a strong whiff of the old gods in this. The culture is the creation of the white patriarchy in the same way the natural world is the creation of the Old Testament God. Alternatively, it is a corruption by white men in the same way Odin and his brothers killed the true creator in order to rule the world. The point of this “scholarship” is to return to the original intent of creation.
In other words, all of this stuff, like the liberal project that proceeded it, operate within the old mental frameworks inherited from both the Christian framing of existence and the pre-Christian framing. They discarded the essential bits and have set about producing things to fill the void of the supernatural. The woke are those most in need of the old gods searching for a modern version of them.

LOL! Freud is “German” ? All those intellectuals ran away from Germany to US were “German”, you say ? Come on man, don’t be this cucked and pathetic. It is one thing to suggest that JQ is being overrated sometimes but this is just denying reality and acting like we are all stupid. Really embarassing…
If Freud is German, then those new residents of Springfield, OH are as American as Feline Pie!
I just spent two hours with a conservative this weekend. His definition of an American seems to be “if they wanna be here” then They are an American.
i asked him what the difference between legal and illegal immigration was;, he really couldn’t tell me.
Come on, man, how many neon signs, red carpets, and GPS coordinates to that hamster wheel did you need?
Common man! Give me a break!
An unrelenting stream of Germans, non-stop… non-stop.
But that’s not a bad thing, that’s a source of our strength.
Freud was the original “Neocon?”
Freud, as he and Jung sailed to the USA: “Little do they know we are bringing the plague.” https://muse.jhu.edu/article/40708
I had forgotten that Jung was with Freud on the ship, which complicates my simple narrative that Freud’s ideas were the plague.
Freud and Jung can be studied as a personification of Chosen-European relations. Jung coined the term “collective unconscious” and wrote in 1934, “The ‘Ary@n’ unconscious has a higher potential than the J3wish.” https://jewishcurrents.org/carl-jung-and-the-question-of-anti-semitism
A while back I was hanging out with my psychologist friend, and he was talking Freud-Jung. I said something like, “Look, it’s simple, we don’t need to waste breath and brain cells. Freud was Jewish, Jung was Gentile.” He seemed a little caught off guard, makes sense because talking ethnicity is taboo these days. Nowadays he’s talking the evils of multiculti and the failure of diversity. We all come to it in our own way lol.
JQ? What’s that, the Johann Question?
Just heard the “German” part of the show and I second your criticism entirely. Something I’ve noticed with many of the early bird dissidents is that they are sort of tethered to their positions whereas johnny come late s like myself keep drifting to more hardline positions as the situation deteriorates. I’ve opposed the JQ as fantasy, defended “all men are created equal” and Lincoln and defended Churchill as the savior of the West on this site. I would do none of that today. It’s a sad fact that many og those who greet you as you climb ashore on… Read more »
This is seriously delusional. “Early Lifers” (I’m guessing) argue that Freud’s Jewishness was the cause of his (wrong, IMO) psychoanalysis, yet Marcuse’s Jewishness was somehow ignored when he was criticizing Freud?
Why isn’t Marcuse a f’ing Jew? Other than he came to a conclusion you like, I mean?
That all of the chosen are not always in agreement is not a refutation of the thesis that they almost all agree of the strategy of white dispossession. They disagree on tactics and that is what you are throwing dust up about.
Before WW2, it was understood that the highest priority of each chosen was, “what is good for our group?” That they don’t all arrive at the same answer does not mean that they don’t start from the same question.
Right. So when Jews promote things you don’t like it’s because of their Jewishness, but when they promote things you like…?
We don’t like any of them, you knob.
So why does the DR defend Maruse, you knob?
its amazing we know the name of Marcuse at all. Why is this little tribe so influential? Can’t us whites find social commentators of our own? Philosophers of our own? Whites need Jews?
We only know the name of Marcuse because he was easily the most pernicious of the Frankfurt School critical theorists. He was not and never will be considered a philosophical advocate for whites. That’s just ridiculous.
Ha ha ha. Yes, the DR is a real hotbed of Marcuse-love. Just give it a rest. You’re making a royal fool of yourself.
Look, I’m good with GL Rockwell’s distinction between Big Jew/Little Jew. Why is that absolutely impossible to even consider?
Steve, this is like championing the law-abiding black guy in your neighborhood who takes care of his lawn.
In both cases, they are outliers, but probably not as much as you might think. If one of their own does harm to the values of whites, in many cases, you will be surprised when they take the side of the bad one of their own.
And their kids will probably revert to the mean of their group anyway.
“In both cases, they are outliers…”
How would one know?
More importantly, why not just get out of blast radius? I don’t really care which is true because I don’t live there. If that changes, I’ll re-evaluate. Your AO, your monkeys.
In my community, they had to change the rules. Black representation had to be proportional to the local population. That meant about 1/45 or so. Obama changed that to mean 1/7, because that was the national average. I moved. I’ll move again if need be.
There are always sincere outliers but their numbers are so few that it is impractical to worry about them.
Certainly there were Germans under Hitler who rooted for the Allies. Have you ever criticized the Allies for not expending resources to save those Germans?
Certainly there were Southerners during the Civil War who favored the North. Have you ever criticized the North for not expending resources to save those Southerners?
Yeah, yeah, that’s a real good strategy you’ve got there. Live in a place until the nuggras wreck it and then move. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum. Before too long there’ll be no place left to run to.
Marcuse was also a filthy jew. Everything about the Frankfurt School was jewish and should have never found refuge on our shores
Agreed. Not so much the “filthy Jew” part but the idea itself was caustic to American society as it existed.
Would it really have mattered if it were the filthy commies from Cuba who did that? Because they certainly did. And while you can find only a few wearing Marcuse t-shirts or Freud t-shirts, there are a crapton wearing Castro or Guegvara.
Why the fuck can’t the “right” ever oppose Guavara, FFS!!!
Obviously, it is because a fair share of the D”R” are not in any sense “right” but are just “filthy commies”.
The Germans overproduced weirdos and cranks?
The Germans are the worst people in the world?
Freud and the other intellectual crazies are German?
Are you just trying to get a rise out of your listeners?
Looks like a lot of commenters made this point before me, but I must add my 2 cents’ worth: Freud and most of the other degenerates, kooks, and intellectual troublemakers were not primarily German. They may have been living in Germany, but they were Jews first and foremost. Germany was their victim/host, which they bled to the point of cultural ruin, aka the Weimar Republic. Eventually those Jews and their descendants came to the USA, and began making the same mischief here, with the same disloyalty to the host culture (ours!) they displayed previously. The nation that produced Bach, Beethoven,… Read more »
“Looks like a lot of commenters made this point before me, but I must add my 2 cents’ worth…”. So will I. Yeah, Z, you really whiffed on that one. S.V. and several others before said it best: the vast majority of those “kooks” and “bad apples” that fled to America were NOT Germans. The genuine first-generation Germans that came here contributed mightily to manufacturing and science – men like Werner von Braun, Adolphus Busch, Levi Strauss, Johan Roebling and countless others. Worst people in human history, indeed. Maybe it was a tongue-n-cheek comment that flew over my tiny brain.… Read more »

Speaking of soyboy cucks… “Retired Brigadier General Says Harris’s Multiracial Background Will Inspire Putin and Strengthen Our National Security”

Yesterday I suggested abundance was responsible for the decadence and depravity of the contemporary West. Those who replied to the comment agreed. Here’s another suggestion: social media has rocket-fueled the malignant narcissism Z described in his darkly funny podcast today. Social media is inherently feminine, and brings out the very worst aspects of it, including forced social consensus, rank madness, general bitchiness, and passive-aggressive competition. There are other factors that contribute to the magnified malignant narcissism, of course, but all of them combined are less of a factor than social media. That is not to say inane psychosis like Queer… Read more »

Leftist echo chambers and right wing echo chambers share many characteristics in common, others they don’t. One thing I see, over and over, in the leftist ones that I never see in the right wing ones are posters asking “What is our opinion about this?”
Yes. People bristle when leftism is referred to as a religion, but it is and the need to recite the correct creed is always a paramount concern. It is why they do not view a 180 on a given issue to be hypocrisy or inconsistent. The Truth is whatever the consensus of their Tribe is on any given day. Right wing echo chambers have a lot of problems, too, but fear of deviation from The Truth is not among them, even though conformity is big there, too.
Jack, you mentioned the rat experiments yesterday and I’ve always been interested in exactly what conclusions could be drawn from them. They weren’t controlled experiments so although abundance may play a large role, that couldn’t be all there is to it. What happens when wild populations experience abundance in nature? There is a temporary population explosion followed by a just as rapid collapse as resources run dry. In the rat experiments there was the initial population explosion but there was also overcrowding of the population under circumstances that don’t happen in the natural world. In both cases, however, there is… Read more »
Great comment, and a lot to chew on there. I’ll confine it to these right now: Thankfully though, 100% of humans don’t accept the beliefs It comes down to who the exceptions are. Unfortunately, the percentage of Gaia unbelievers is far higher in places outside of Europe, North America, and Australia and New Zealand and the cone countries in South America. Propaganda works only on populations with the intelligence to apprehend what is being pushed along with a moral compass that drives a person to do what is perceived, even wrongly as in this case, as the right thing.

As a low-brow aside, I watched a few episodes of Sin City Tow, about tow truckers operating in Las Vegas, every single time, it was low IQ dumfks who tried to use brute force, outright lies, or emotional anger to get the driver to drop the vehicle, not once did anyone admit they had parked in the wrong spot and accept consequences of their own actions, although the vast majority were poc’s, I still fear for us all. Imagine trying to negotiate terms with any of them on any issues. Screaming and threats seemed to be what works for them
The thing that is not so funny about all these articles is that we are financing them. All of these nutbags force us to pay for this BS through the government.
So let’s get what we can out of them–a few good laughs.
I think all of this could have been avoided if these nerds had been bullied properly in school. When The Revolution comes, there should be a Director of Bullying who ensures that all schools have a Designated Bully to ensure that nerds know their role.
Personalities are determined at conception. The purpose of Designated Bullies is to become char-broiled human hamburger meat when the nerds activate the PETN [explosives] in the Designated Bullies’ iPhones & Androids & Pagers. You can’t alter inalterable personalities. Personalities gonna personalize. Very very brutally. PS: The mere idea of masturbatoriums, and masturbating to death the shiksas in the idyllic summer camps, is nothing but Freudian Projection wielded upon the entire race of German Christians at large. Germans are [by nature] so classically inclined that they can’t even do porn correctly. Have you ever seen German porn? It’s simply embarrassing. Germans… Read more »
On one hand, that would remove xirl science. On the other hand, that would create a million Bill O’Reillys.
“Bully” implies masculinity, and this is rank feminism. Granted, women are by far the worse at pecking one another into social compliance, but take it much further into all realms of life. In fact, the abundant soy boys have indeed been bullied relentlessly by feminism.
All governments will need a Ministry of Wedgies and Swirlies.
And they wonder why it’s common for Americans to have an “anti-intellectual” streak. Mine’s a mile wide at this point. I have more respect for an unschooled hillbilly than for these over-educated loons. At least the hillbilly might have some practical knowledge to share. Talking to these Xirls risks making a person dumber – one of their nonsensical notions might get past the filter. Schools should be weeding these people out, not making mors of them.
How do we get rid of these people? I suppose we just have to wait for collapse and let nature take its course.
But how can you control matter?’ he burst out. ‘You don’t even control the climate or the law of gravity.

I hope they decide to leave physical reality en masse.
I see what you did there.
I also clicked on the link to “Hypatia” and gave it a look. I thought it WAS satire. I think Scott Adam’s framed it best when he pointed out that people are watching the same events, they are just different movies.
I’m with you Z. People like RFK and Musk succeeded in at least partially pulling me back in and caring about the election. Sure I hope Trump wins and we see liberal tears – while another voice whispers that it won’t matter. Feels like I’m in a Roman Triumph.
While if would be nice to see Trump win, I think he’s already performed his most useful function, which was as a catalyst. Another term, which would still be preferable to the alternative, probably won’t make a lot of difference, but could still be a lot of fun.
Fun, but dangerous… Biden has shown the the world that the USA is a true paper tiger. Our enemies are emboldened. The political world Trump reenters is not the one he left wrt USA’s credibility and power. Trump touts–even today–his ability to sit down with the major powers and play “poker”, but he has no hold cards. In history previous, this has lead to precipitous wars.
I see it another way. Western civilization took a wrong turn two centuries ago, when it based the entire culture in two absurdities: Freedom: All men should be free (completely impossible in any possible universe, the freedom of one man is the lack of freedom of another man, my freedom to have property is your lack of freedom to enter my property, for exemple). This is a contradictory statement, similar to “all circles must be squared”, “married bachelors exist”, etc. Equality: All men are equal (this could be possible in a possible universe, but it is obviously false in this… Read more »
If you examine things, they turn out to be surprisingly discoverable. Philosophy, Reason, basically.
Time points in one direction. History, i.e., Progress. The Hebrew thing.
Combine the two and you get Christianity, but Faith goes against Reason and Progress. That appears to be a contradiction.
Supposing we didn’t give credit for ourselves to Athens and Jerusalem, it might not be such a problem. Not even a third way, just that we’re something different. Idk, just my opinion.
Think you are on the right track. If faith, reason and progress are in disunion, it’s something in your beliefs.
God wants the best for His kids. He gave us reason to understand the world we see. Progress? Satan prides himself in hiding the Truth in plain sight. So why might faith and reason disagree with progress?…
Thank you. State things in so many words, people are are cool. State them plainly, you get downvoted. LOL.
Sniff, xirl science is what won my heart initially….then the racism
Come for the patriarchal oppression, stay for the intrinsic racisms!

Yes, the majority of pomos are shrieking mad. But we must take them seriously because they’ve successfully inflicted their madness upon the Western world. Much of what we stare at, aghast, in Clown World, is simply the byproduct of postmodernism’s conquest of the social sciences/humanities, and its creation of change agents who’ve gone into corporate, government, media, and Hollywood, and implemented what they absorbed in college.
Yep. Just because they are ludicrous doesn’t make them less dangerous. Russians found the Bolsheviks pretty ridiculous, too, for years, as you know.
I’m all for knowing the books and getting them right because I think Whiteness™ was great and the pomos were the last great academic exemplars of it, but it doesn’t matter or help us. He got there via an unlikely path—by following his own work—but Foucault was “always already” an American-style libertarian. People who stole the bodies-and-spaces rhetoric from him (third hand) are not. Writers who cite him rarely show any understanding of his work (analogous to “woke Christians”). Knowing him tells us nothing about them, and they’re the problem. Derrida’s philosophy demands radical dissidence, but in real life and… Read more »
Foucault was an overt homosexual who argued that criminality was rebellion against oppression, and that mental illness was nothing more than a stigma imposed upon the weak by the oppressors. Was he a libertarian of a sort? Perhaps. But given that libertarianism is arguably a Leftist deviation, I’m not going to give him points for that.
He was flat-out wrong.It had nothing to do with his gayness or mental illness or “libertarianism”-ness.
I mean, yeah, I doubt a flaming faggot has the keys to the kingdom, but I can come to that conclusion from what he said/did, without bothering with my prejudices about faggotry.
**sigh**
The point being that Foucault, like the vast majority of heauxmeaux, was an advocate for perversion. Do you enjoy the depravity of living in AINO? Then lay a bloody wreath at Foucault’s grave.
John Carter is the Warlord of Mars. He is a character from a book series that started with a book called “A Princess of Mars” My handle, Tars Tarkas is also a character from this series of books. He is an immortal earthling who was sent to mars by a drugged astral projection (IIRC, it’s called that). Very fun series of books.
There is someone writing a reactionary Substack under the pseudonym John Carter. Some of the posts are quite good:

You understand that these books are works of fiction!?
People, don’t let Tars fool you.
He actually has green skin, four arms and tusks in real life.
That was him in the movie, too, playing himself.

I disagree with Zman when he says women don’t necessarily add any value to a corporate boardroom. Someone needs to serve whisky to the men and light their cigars. And some men might appreciate a nice massage after the meeting.

My take on “questioning reality”, which seems to go along with “we are living in a simulation/computer program” (my personal take, tell me more, you have far from sealed the deal) is yet another way to flee responsibility. If we are in a simulation, it suggests either or both preordination of our behaviors or “it doesn’t matter anyway”. The shedding of one’s responsibility for one’s actions is what I get out of it, which is the baseline for quite a few poses and behaviors of people today.
Hope you are doing well Brother…
Yup, still living in the belly of the Cali beast. Things get weirder around here every day. Thanks for asking; hope all is good at your end.

A few points here: 1) Darryl Cooper has been getting a lot of attention these days, but there’s another great historian that our side should look into on YouTube. Zoomer Historian. Phenomenal channel. He primarily looks at interwar and WW2 Europe. Xirl science reminded me of an episode of his where he did a deep dive into the books that the Austrian Painter Party actually burned, and it was a lot of this stuff discussed here. 2) Sustainability actually does have meaningful application, the kooks just use it in ways that make no sense. For example, in the Philippines, it’s… Read more »
Ah, I’ve missed the xirl science…. I guess this show highlights the idea, (with all due respect to the female commenters here) that giving women a loud public voice, probably beginning in the 19th century, was a fair boondoggle. Paying attention to these myriad blatherings has been a huge waste of time (although often humorous lately) at best, and at worst, a recipe for disaster – which seems to be coming to fruition.
Well, after creaming his own father Chronos and the Titans, Zeus got busy oppressing Hera and the other girls, while trying to nail every human chick he could get his hands on.
See? Men never change.
Speaking of nailing every chick, we have a Rooster that jumps the bones of every one of our hens from the time he gets up, till he settles on his perch at night. Grabs them by the neck to do his business. We should probably change his name to Clinton.
From dawn til dusk? The only name possible for such Olympian effort is Zeus!
Clinton got his charm watching ducks, even more brutal than chickens.
Ducks also have weird twisted penises, so I’ve read. Or was that Epstein?
A chick I know went to a very liberal college in the 90s. On campus there was a pond full of ducks that the students liked to watch. She said that during a certain season, the male ducks would pursue reproduction with the females and it was far from consensual or gentle. She said the human women were mad at the men during that time.

Lactating chickens! Zman, this might be one of your best shows ever!
Update: oh gob, oh gob, “our rescue chickens”!
This is a serious issue. Living beings who have been designated at “hatching” as belonging to the class Aves are being systematically “pigeonholed” out of the class Mammalian. It is clearly intersectional lactatonormative classism which these brave lactating chickens are fighting against.Truly a ‘class’ struggle.

“Anality is what you think it is”
A finishing move they had to take out of Mortal Kombat because of Nintendo’s censors?
Given the infiltration of the video games industry by Woke adherents, anality would be not only encouraged but required as a finishing move in any current and future Mortal Kombat games.
You can’t choose between male and female characters in corporate video games anymore, only “body type 1” (square-jawed woman) or “body type 2” (soy-made man).
Next stop: anality type.

Is this really any different than the entire Matrix terminology, including “glitches” and “unplugging from the Matrix”
As for questioning space-time itself, physics is doing this too when it considers that space-time dies in a black hole and this cosmos itself may have began out of a black hole.
So yes, one can sanely make the argument space-time is an illusion, this entire cosmos itself is an illusion and reality is timeless.
“…the material seems different now. On the one hand, it is less flamboyantly nutty than I remember. There are far fewer articles that read like satire on the grievance studies rackets.”
Never having read the trash in these “journals” it’s hard for me to judge. But could it be that these journals are cleaning up their act a bit? Accepting articles that are “flamboyantly nutty” has exploded in their face since those articles are used by the “non-woke” opposition to discredit their cause.
I have agree with the comments here. Perhaps you never heard of Werner von Braun?
The amusing bit to me is that a tangential mention of the world’s favorite tribe gets comments from people who never commented. This happens every single time.
Some of the old hands may tire of repeating themselves, while the newbies or inactive are hoping that that amusement will turn into a little more self reflexion?
He has to know that those “bad apples” weren’t German. He could have said “German jews” and saved himself, but he didn’t.
