The Hot Air Machine

THE  political situation in America is pretty awful, and has been for probably up to a decade (although, I’d argue it has always been bad, and has only become obvious in recent years). Every month, every week, every day even, we must watch on in an ashamed stupor as the assembly of people elected to direct with steadfast loyalty our country act like toddlers left alone in a classroom. A simply net positive GDP growth means nothing, because the cogs of the machine have grown greasy and old. As a great exhibit of the condition of our country, recent statistics show a very legitimate desire for secession among certain Americans. This is not good, it is as simple as that. Every nation-state, every civil society, is a human experiment. Locke, who I oft differ to, saw civil society as the consensual assembly of humans under common principles (Locke 2015, p. 77). The State, therefore, is consequently obliged to be sensitive of and accommodating to the human condition; not sensitive or ...

SINCE  this pandemic began a little over a year ago now, many people have been quite rattled by it. A pandemic . Who in the World knew this would have happened? It has perplexed many people, and it is why questions into the origins of the COVID-19 disease have become so voluminous lately. Many people have begun turning the above question, into a demand, “ Who in the World knew this would have happened?” Did anyone actually plan this virus? Is this virus a zoonotic fluke which just so happened to arise in 2020, which was quite a pivotal year on the geopolitical stage. If this virus is planned, then perhaps one of the largest and most intense controversies in all human history would unfold. But, if it was not, then perhaps we could cool the end-times hysteria and begin focusing on the rather incompetent and corrupt government responses that are actually provable and worth condemning. Those, at the very least, are conspicuous and worth judging. I am going to take the time to res...

LIKE  most people by this point in time, I am sick and tired of the word “vaccine”. The airways have been so clogged by it for the last few months I am being driven crazy by the constant and asinine prattle about it. Additionally, these vaccines themselves have rubbed me the wrong way. These vaccines have been produced with uncertain technologies, promoted and enforced through illiberal methods, and are of a highly suspect nature in various other regards. For those that rightfully question and think freely about everything, a good number of inquiries and objections about these vaccines have arisen. The response by the mainstream media and “experts” proves we are moving in the right direction, for time and time again what they dislike the common rabble doing has proved far better for the common rabble. However, of course, being an objector or freethinker does not indicate nor require intelligence, and a few dim minds have made their voices heard. Other than simply shrugging th...

              RADICAL  socialists/communists frequently espouse the idea that they are the moral Übermenschen of human politics/philosophy. Anyone who does not endorse their noble, egalitarian, collectivist ways are evil greedy bourgeois ; yes, even if you are a poor proletarian yourself. (1) However, in practice we see that socialism (which is what I will use hereafter as an umbrella) invariably leads to the formation of a tyrannical state. Socialism and capitalism, invariably tied into the political system, contrast greatly in terms of their democidal propensities. The toll of democide under socialist regimes since the 20 th century has been nearly 150,000,000 (2) (considering the age of my source, additional violence against Uyghurs, civilians, and Hong Kongers by communist states could have pushed the number up somewhat). As for capitalist or non-socialist regimes (this includes America, Kuomintang China, the UK, ...
