Did you know there were HUNDREDS of domestic bombings done by left-wing terrorists in the 1970s?

I’m looking forward to reading Days of Rage to learn what the hell was going on when I was a kid.

“dimly remembered”

Strange that, isn’t it?

Some things are strongly remembered and some things are dimly remembered.

Who knows why that is? It’s a mystery!

Earlier today, NPR's 1A program ran an interview on child surrogacy—they brought on a surrogacy lawyer, as well as a doctor who handles surrogate patients and a practicing surrogate mother.

Anyone who's followed my posts for a while will know that I am very anti-surrogacy for reasons that may not be obvious to some people: surrogacy relies on In Vitro Fertilization, and IVF inherently requires the destruction of human embryos.

My view is pretty straightforward: if we are against abortion because it requires, by definition, the intentional destruction of unborn human life, then it is only consistent to be against IVF and therefore surrogacy, as well.

In the UK alone, between 1991 and 2012, IVF directly resulted in the destruction of 1.7 million discarded human embryos:

The NPR segment ended with the lawyer expressing fear over the implications of Roe being struck down—very telling—this moral atrocity deserves more critical attention. Please spread the word.

The first two times I visited Europe were in full-on tourist mode. The very first time was literally a scheduled tour as a high school graduation gift (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Spencer!)

But when I brought my wife to Europe for our 9-week honeymoon I was already dissatisfied with that.

So the first 7 weeks was in one place: Taormina, Sicily. We had an apartment with a kitchen where my wife cooked most of our meals. We went to a local church every week. We always went to Nino’s for lunch after church and Nino would greet us. We made Sicilian friends. We had them for dinner. They had us for dinner.

We adapted to the rhythm of the town (riposo!)

I didn’t want to spin through a bunch of places. I just wanted to live somewhere else with my wife for a bit. Go (relatively) deep in one place rather than have the “postcard experience”* in many places.

* The postcard experience is where you go to, say, the Eiffel Tower, look at it, probably snap a picture yourself, and think “just like in the postcard!”

The internment of Germans during World War II is little known.

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn is the synthesis.

He called himself “arch-liberal” but also “extreme right”.

He was the great critic of democracy.

And he argued that liberty was our great medieval European heritage.

Rising energy prices, rising interest rates, inverted yield curve... Are we entering a recession this year? (Even if it isn't "official".)

I worked closely with BK Marcus when we both worked for the Mises Institute.

All my fellow nerds should read this article by him so they understand the “relevant technological unit”.

Key concept.

Consider the white working class, once a stalking horse used by the Marxists in the hopes of bringing down the West. Now cast aside and despised as “deplorables”, racists, etc.

I pity the latest stalking horses for what is coming when they, too, are no longer considered useful.

Much like "workers rights" movements can exist without the support of any "workers," the "LGBT rights" groups can & do exist without any "community" behind them. These are pure political entities & taking them as genuine is a grave miscalculation.

As Dee points out here, homosexuals are passé.
Transsexuals are the current stalking horse/designated right-wing target.

Do you like playing their game?

Patriarch: It's interesting to me that AA's audience broadly ignores Dee's proclivities but there is a segment which relentlessly fusses about what you have publicly disclosed about yourself.

Remnant Posting puts his finger on exactly the reason I think this stream with my wife is so critical.

Ground zero of so much crap is the attack on hierarchy in marriage.

The mid-2010s "anti-SJW" movement managed to make criticism of feminism feel basic, mundane, and surface-level, but it's a real shame, because that crowd of critics didn't have the necessary follow-through.

Feminism as a movement and a social agenda is still sorely in need of criticism, as pretty much all of the momentum behind modern degeneracy can be traced back to first- and second-wave feminism. The third- and fourth-wavers who drew the ire of "anti-SJWs" felt like surface-level criticism, because it kind of was—but this perception has been conflated with the idea that feminism is no longer worth criticizing.

Where do we think the transsexual craze and the "non-binary" nonsense and all the other gibberish came from? There's a straight line between that and the "breaking down of gender norms" that second-wave feminists aggressively leaned into during the period of '60s and '70s radicalism.

Destroying the social and sexual relations between men and women is and always has been key to the leftist project: how better to demoralize the average person than to cut them off from their normal, instinctive desires? Whether this is sexual, familial, tribal, communal, national, they had an interest in destroying all of these bonds, and the most basic of those bonds is the one between men and women. If you don't have healthy relations between the sexes, then you don't have functional families, and if you don't have functional families, you don't have community, nationhood, or civilization.

All of it was motivated by the same desires to further the broader leftist project, which is why so many feminists were also black nationalists were also communists, etc.... because at the heart of all their beliefs is the conceit that anyone and anything can be conflated, transposed, and transmogrified into anyone and anything else.

The only way the leftist worldview can be made coherent is to declare that everyone is interchangeable. Let that ferment in your social order for a few decades and you get the mess that we live in now.

Feminism, especially in the second-wave, was also a highly Jewish movement, and was basically a project to spread Jewish social values out into broader American culture. Look up ANY seminal second-wave feminist text or essay, 10 to 1 the author is Jewish. These left-wing Jewish activists were inexorably tied up with black nationalist and communist movements in the '60s and '70s. The idea that feminism is separable from these things or somehow less deserving of criticism is simply short-sighted.

I am not the first to say it, but the legacy of feminism is basically just Jewish women convincing gentile women to hate men. It's as good a summation as any.

It's going to get worse before it gets better, but the best thing you can do for yourself as a young man is to remember that women are not the same as you, and to never, ever settle for a woman who believes any of this nonsense. That might be hard to do, but it can be done and guys in these circles can attest to that. Simply don't settle for delusion or conceit.

The structure of Job.

Job cries out to the Lord.

Job's “friends” talk *about* the Lord sometimes, but only to invoke Him to accuse Job.

This phenomenon of attacking the innocent victim is something I have observed in real life.

It mystifies me. But it happens!
