"How men treat women is a sign of their character. Think of the character signatures of Teddy Kennedy, Harvey Weinstein, and Jeffery Epstein. The feminist thrust toward social atomization strips away the opportunity for men to be “men” in that best sense of the word. Men offer women what other women can’t, and when they do it right, everyone is better off. Women at their best bring out the best in men."

"I think the question we should ask is this: If the satire found in This is Spinal Tap evinces a hostile racial agenda on the part of the artist, then what satires don’t do this? Does Oscar Wilde treat his upper-crust subjects any differently in The Importance of Being Earnest? How about the P. G. Wodehouse Jeeves novels? Do these have an 'anti-goy' agenda as well?"

"In this beacon on the hill that is a shining light unto all nations, twenty-four countries are less corrupt than the USA, and that seems generous, as I assume we know almost nothing about the CIA for the plain reason that the CIA is smart enough to reveal almost nothing about itself."

"All signs pointed to deliberate sabotage. But immediately, Antifa started holding up the controversy as evidence of their crackpot theory that class reductionist Leftists were secret Nazis."

"As for Cayla, her abusive husband slaps her on stage. The audience gasps. She slaps him. The audience cheers. She falls for Rumson, so we have a twist on adultery, but the mean husband is soon expelled. Did we mention he’s also a Mormon? A gun-toting, hard-drinking (?), racist, sexist Mormon."

"The Odinic path is appealing to a certain kind of European, yet it is a risky ideal, especially for a religion. The Ring cycle demonstrates this. There are still higher powers than Wotan, ones that can’t bend to divine whims or mortal action. Siegfried may shatter Wotan’s spear, but he can’t escape his fate. Even if one became a god, there are still forces you can never transcend."

"Here we had the detritus of an industrial society — the rusted-out hulls of 'iron monsters' — as well as the medieval ghosts of plagues from the past haunting Copperfield’s river. The disease that came by the water to the city of London in the 1830s was an old one, but its epidemic success required the mass society of the modern age and the great commerce of trade and empire that turned the 'fine fresh' Thames into a 'deadly sewer.'”

"That seems to be a general rule of Leftism: it most harms those it claims to be most concerned about. However, Leftist narcissists like Marina Hyde aren’t interested in the consequences of their Leftism. Decent people don’t mention black criminality — except to blame it on Whitey. But decent people do gloat over bestial savagery when it is inflicted on a deserving target. After the Boer nationalist Eugene Terre’Blanche was hacked to death by blacks on his own farm, Marina Hyde and an Iranian comedian called Omid Djalili openly gloated at the news on BBC radio."

"So hiring Americans might not be so much about love of country, but needing workers who can understand 'cultural and political context' to perform ideological censorship. That much, of course, is a departure from the common industry practice of Third World exploited labor so they can pay the absolute lowest wages possible. Someone from Bangalore might not get what 'small hats' means, realize that a picture of George Floyd holding a banana is highly irreverent, or understand naughty memes."

"Mattel has recently released a list of 419 words that it no longer deems suitable for Scrabble players worldwide.

It’s no coincidence that these are 419 of the most enjoyable words in the English language."

"The film, based on the novel I Hear Them Sing by Ferdinand Meyer, emphasizes over and over a quiet but no less serious struggle between the communal life of this small town and the stresses and duties it places on the individual."

"10:00 AM. Already at my artisan desk, made from sustainable balsa wood and, although inclined to wobble a bit and sort of snap and shit, still planet-loving. This is not a good start to an organizer’s day! The Vietnamese co-operative who put bamboo lining on the trans safe space have sent an invoice. Funny how capitalism seems to work for everyone but poor countries."

"Dougherty’s family narrative may be somewhat vaporous, but it’s really just a framing device for the real meat of the book. He has very firm ideas about some things. He’s a believing, practicing Catholic (that should be redundant, but in the Biden era, it seems it’s not). He’s never managed to become fluent in Irish Gaelic, but he’s a firm believer in making the effort, even though almost no one in Ireland has been fluent for 200 years."
