“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Maybe there is hope after all

Back in early October last year, I wrote up a post that articulated my deep pessimism for the prospects of the generation that will come immediately after my own. I am, from my perspective rather unfortunately, a Millennial, which means that I am part of the most...

Land of confusion

Before we get started here I should provide a bit of a warning. If you are anything like me- i.e. you believe in tradition, decency, mental stability, and the immutable existence of two clearly defined biological genders- you are NOT going to like what follows....

The appeal of the Great Heresy

Another week, another series of Islamist attacks. London, March 22nd: Antwerp, March 23rd: Lille, March 24th: The list goes on for quite a bit. Islamism is on the rise across Europe, and the only response that the European people and their politicians seem to have is...

The burn ointment is in aisle 4

From the mouths of babes, and all that: Obviously I am nowhere near the poet and rhetorician that, say, Heartiste is. So I’ll blatantly rip off borrow a page from his book and call that a truth-shiv plunged straight into the core of every young...

Still not tired

The opposition party in the liberal media scored a truly beautiful own-goal (again) when Rachel Maddow attempted to answer a question that almost nobody had ever asked: Instead of getting right to her big scoop about a 2005 Trump tax return she obtained, Maddow opened...

In defence of normalcy

A few days ago I wrote about the fact that, to a mind steeped in the madness of feminism and the insistence of its adherents in treating men and women as entirely interchangeable, it can be jarring in the extreme to see what the world might look like when the...

The Collapsing Tor-pire

It would appear that Castalia House has decided that a certain 6’3″ ex-Marine badass hasn’t been piled onto enough for the questionable quality of his writing: The Third Edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says: “If anyone...
