More footage from the fracas.I would be willing to match dollar for dollar the Go Fund Me to help the loudly suffering welp at the start there to Go Fuck Off. If Trump wins we could start a sort of manumission society for those weary of America’s lash; we could set them up for yearsContinue reading “America, Hate it or Leave it”

Anarchy in the PDX
This is some footage I took from competing pro-Trump/anti-Trump demonstrations in Portland.Note the amped-up kid at the beginning reassuring his friend, apparently, that he won’t go overboard because “my facemask is off.” Puh-leeeze. There’s an Alex Jones video of the event out there that features an Iranian immigrant, pro-Trump grandmother, and I’ll be damned ifContinue reading “Anarchy in the PDX”
Notes on the Stumpening
America’s future announced its arrival yesterday, shutting down Donald Trump’s Chicago rally. It was a heartwarmingly diverse group–Hispanics, Muslims prominent, shrill white college students, and blacks leading the way. Barack Obama’s vision, to which Paul Ryan would enthusiastically accede on economic principle, of who should wield political power and how. Notably, among the ethnic allianceContinue reading “Notes on the Stumpening”

The Yuge and the Jews
Jewish opposition to Donald Trump has been predictable and fierce. With some dissent, such as Mickey Kaus’ long-running, heroic immigration criticism, the consensus seems to have been immediate: Donald Trump is bad for the Jews. Opposition would appear to have everything to do with the immigration issue first and, maybe more deeply, unease for Trump’sContinue reading “The Yuge and the Jews”
Projectionism
Psychological projection doesn’t get its sociological due.I take the liberty of applying “projection” to the broader tendency to project onto others our own motivations and desires that is a natural, unavoidable psychological adaptation to society, not the displacement of Freudian projection. We don’t know anyone as we know ourselves and, while vanity may skew ourContinue reading “Projectionism”
Where’s Gratitude?
The Left denies the agency of “oppressed” groups, forever acted upon, never acting. This is necessary in direct correlation to the negative effects of a given group’s actions. No one is seen as having less autonomy than black Americans, for instance, as a group or individually. It’s practically a source of pride for those whoContinue reading “Where’s Gratitude?”
Diary: Yesterday Afternoon
A tall man standing in front of Mary’s strip club steps purposely to the curb and leans into an automobile grill. As if he’s trying to be heard through a hole in a wall he shouts, no, screams into the car’s impassive plastic faux-metalwork.I head upstairs. The wood steps feel solid but still creak plaintivelyContinue reading “Diary: Yesterday Afternoon”
Dark Prophecy
“And you, systematic Utopians, who make an abstraction of human nature, fomentors of atheism, fed on chimerae and hatreds, emancipators of woman, destroyers of the family, genealogists of the simian race, you whose name was but lately an outrage, be satisfied: you shall have been the prophets, and your disciples will be the high-priests ofContinue reading “Dark Prophecy”
