The two statements above are entirely compatible.

I think that you will get a strong sense from this speech by Jonathan Bowden that gives a very good sense of what cultural Marxism means to him and those who think like him. Jonathan Bowden was a senior member of the Neo-Nazi British National Party. People who think like him are.... well .... you k...

3) I believe that the origin of Fuentes Jewish issue is for the most part an expression of his understanding of the level of influence Zionist Israelis have on American policy. He is not a structured, committed antisemite however... Meanwhile... Mom, dad Hitler was right. Hitler is awesome and the ...

1) Vance has been put in charge of the surrender negotiations precisely so that he can be blamed for the resulting agreement, if there is one. So my first prediction is that Trump will blame Vance for the outcome, but will do so obliquely. 1a) A corollary of (1): Rubio will expend a lot of hot air ...

There are usually rules for what counts as a good enough excuse to go to war, as well as what counts as civilised conduct of said war. no case has been presented at all for the former, which is highly unusual in any functioning democracy. My honest view is that at the most basic level the establish...

The royal touch (also known as the king's touch) was a form of laying on of hands, whereby French and English monarchs touched their subjects, regardless of social classes, with the intent to cure them of various diseases and conditions.The thaumaturgic touch was most commonly applied to people suf...

But this is the first administration to go mask off and simply reject the notion of civilised warfare with rules of engagement at all. The doctrine expressed — in itself — is perfectly sensible. There is nothing “civilized” about any warfare that I am aware of, but I will suppose that even for Hegs...

Funny how those "philosophical questions" always seem to skew you against "socialists" and favor political monsters over moderates. Your agenda is crystal clear. You wear it on your sleeve. If something has to do with justice for those wronged, then you're against it. I find Tru...

Margin of error. LOL https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/09/08/understanding-the-margin-of-error-in-election-polls/ The totals for the vote count add up to 100% Mannie.

Never heard of it. Who wrote it? The site that sells it, which I shall refrain from linking to, suggests it is only available for pre-order, so I don't think your "friend" handed you a tattered old copy they bought at a second hand store in the summer of 97. This feels a bit like you are o...

Right. Trump won by a plurality, not a majority. Yes, and in 2016 won without either. Actually, this probably isn't true. As you'll note, the percentages in the CNN poll do not total 100%. The reason for that is statistical, and has to do with what's called "margin of error," which is a f...

So far as I can tell 'the dean paradox' is nothing about dean's or paradoxes or even jokes. Or am I missing something? You're about right. Colin Leslie Dean is an internet crank who claims to be Australia's leading erotic poet as well as the greatest mathemetician and philosopher of all time. He pi...

Sorry but that dude is no technocrat, he's a populist with pretensions.

Flash? What say you? you skinny, indoctrinated, perverted cockroach of self-defeated post-Europeanism? 🤩 You always complain about the wrong bit of what I have to say. You whine about me calling you a nazi, but you are obviously that so there's no point to it. You are more than just a nazi though, ...
