The cancel culture mob is upset over a piece of media, this time it’s because a girl character in a television show based on a video game did something that they were OUTRAGED about. A fictional character was able to defeat a man in an unarmed struggle. Her being smaller, and a female versus him being bigger and man defied all mathematics and reason to them. It was apparently unrealistic. For me personally, as far as fight scenes go and the context for her “win”, it was done pretty well. There was no Marvel spinning, parkour and acrobatic excess which we have become used to when we see a...

In a recent debate on the Joe Rogan Experience, between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith, Murray accused libertarians as being the “bisexuals of politics.” An interesting claim, one that assumes politics is in itself is a binary. Or that those in the ‘liberty’ spectrum, which can range from all types of anarchists, agorists and whatever passes for libertarian these days, have more in common than not. The belief that Right and Left are constants and relate specifically to the Western, mostly American politics, is shallow. Regardless. During his tenure as a libertarian spokesperson, Penn Jillete...

“Don’t do it son,” big George Foreman said as he shielded his commentary partners, Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley from violent rioters. The conclusion of the first Andrew Golota vs Riddick Bowe fight had ended in controversy which led to brawls and a ringside riot. It was with a commanding presence earned from years as a prize fighter, the best in the world, two time champion and a man who overcame great odds that kept those nearby safe. By then a millionaire, comfortable and forty-seven years of age. He could have run, cowered but instead he stood firm and protected his friends and others...

There was a time when Rebecca Black and her song, ‘Friday’ was a meme. It was popular for millions of people to tease, torment, stalk and threaten the life of a thirteen year old girl because of a music video, the digital mob was hungry for another child effigy to burn. The vitriolic obsession over Black was especially concentrated among, the screen names of 4chan who thought it would be funny to share online the school, house and class schedule of the teenage girl. Due to events out of her control she had become internet famous which meant she now belonged to the world. Many people love to...

In many ways Heinrich Himmler is the depiction of a perfect historical villain. A chief Nazi and a key player in the mass murder of millions of human beings in the name of State policy and the religious ideology of Nazism. Towards the end of the war, as it was obvious that Germany was losing their was a softening in his self-image in the hopes that should he take over from Herr Hitler, then he could sue for peace with the Allies or should he be captured by them, then they would see a humanity in him. He did some easing back on mass killings in areas, showing a mercy of sorts for some....

There’s optimism among the small government conservatives, liberty nationalists and MAGA hardliners from the first weeks of Trumps second presidency. The exposure of USAID to the world, revealing waste, nefarious conduct and ideologically bias that only proves that they were right. The US government is fascinating, it’s full of departments and agencies that continue to conduct themselves with little or no oversight or do things in secret or in the open. The government trips over itself, works against it’s own claimed interests but above all else it allows presidents and the government itself...
