The Left Controls Everything, But Everything is Still Not Enough

The Left has the cities, the colleges and the universities, the K-12 public schools, the police departments and the military, and they have the ‘scientists’, the academics, and the financiers in their pockets; they have the bulk of publishers, movie makers, and media outlets, the political privileges and ‘affirmative actions’ enumerated for and enjoyed by those of their ‘protected’ class. They have the ‘justification’ of ‘social justice’ for acts of vandalism, theft, assault and murder, the claim of ‘tolerance’ where they cancel, harass and doxx. And yet, despite all of this, they claim that it’s not enough, that they’re under attack, and that they are doomed by ‘the right’. 

The truth is that what passes as ‘the right’ today is a fabricated fiction, a convenient enemy. The arc of history for Western society has, in its clear and definitive departure from classical liberalism, demonstrated a secular shift to the radical left, with ‘the right’ (in its true form) a distant memory for some, a foreign concept to most, or a man holed up in defense of the forgotten cause. 

The truth is that Leftism so dominates the political landscape that bigger and bigger government, along with further and further encroachments, is not just the trend but the general expectation. The truth is that Leftism is to politics what breathing is to humans: it continues without much thought, with only relatively minor concessions made along the way by members of the establishment in order to keep some semblance of order; to preserve some of the artifacts embedded in the national fabric; and to pacify the people who aren’t yet ready but who, over time, continue to yield to the gradual encroachments upon their lives, their liberties, and their quality of life. 

Among those who believe that they are ‘doomed’ by ‘the right’, they have been conned not just by popular reimaginings of the left-right paradigm, but by the narrow frames in which information is presented, and the narrow six-inch screens by which they formulate their conceptions of ‘life’ and ‘the world’ — all to the benefit of the state and the greater establishment at the expense of truth, liberty, and the individual. All at the expense of a real appreciation for the vast majesty of thought, beauty, and adventure that exists beyond the narrow confines of those six-inch screens.

Trump Victorious in 2024 Presidential Election

As of this hour, former President and now President-elect Donald Trump has secured his second term as the forty-seventh President of the United States. Trump’s victory comes after winning key battleground states Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.  As for the popular vote, Trump was victorious there as well, winning by a one-and-a-half-percent margin. Despite these results, it’s evident that there remains a significant social and political problem in the United States, where politically-motivated violence, social unrest, crime and general instability have become rampant over the years since the death of George Floyd.  However, I’d say the fact that it was even this close is ominous for the years ahead. This was as clear as it gets for an election, that the incumbents (both Biden and Harris) are wholly unfit for any office, that they present a real and present danger where they’re allowed within twelve thousand miles of a school zone, let alone any...

From BC to AD to AI

Artificial intelligence is bound not only to render the ordinary human being boring by comparison, and in many cases practically unnecessary, but to dispose human beings to hostility toward each other where any dares pose a question or raise a concern instead of taking it up with a chatbot (or AI interface); such a course of action eventually assuming such a regular place in human affairs as to stand in entirely for human discourse and daily interaction.  This is not only a very real possibility when considering the future course of human ‘civilization’; it is more than likely imminent or already upon us.  It is left to be seen just what this will look like, just how this will play out, just what tolerance the species (and even beyond) has for such extremes which this technology is to bring about. Likewise, it remains to be seen whether a heavily-indebted society facing never-ending and unavoidable taxes (i.e. taxes on property) can even be expected to retrain and retool for t...

Failure by Design

In the case for liberty, there is certainly some tolerance for error or failure, as it is generally suffered by the individual and not brought upon anyone by design . Wherever anyone seeks to empower government, however, one must be reasonably certain of the designs, the logic and the costs, and he must be equally honest about the unknowns as with the foreseeable consequences; after all, there is no margin for error where those designs are administered by the barrel of a gun.  One must necessarily remember that government is a monopoly on force and coercion, that force and coercion serve together as the modifying distinction between government and enterprise. It is a kind of force and coercion not by spirit or intention of written law but in accordance with the letter and understanding of the enforcers in their own time, in their own limited judgment and impaired conscience. As opposed to a state of liberty, where mistakes, failures and crimes are unavoidable in the face of human f...
