“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.”

Playing the wrong game and losing the right one

It is not an exaggeration to say that the global geopolitical scene is changing at a speed and with a violence that we have not seen since the early 1990s. In eras past, people were fortunate to see one landscape-changing redrawing of the global order in a lifetime,...

Forty years ago today, St. Reagan Magnus of the Right stood at the site of the US Ranger monument at Pointe du Hoc, Normandy, and delivered one of his many great and legendary speeches. The monument commemorating the assault of the 2nd Ranger Battalion up the sheer...

Didactic Mind, Ep 117: The Burning of Rome

The Didactic Mind podcast is FINALLY back, after a long hiatus due to… well, sheer laziness, mostly, and a real lack of desire to talk about much of the craziness around us. Nonetheless, recent events in the West and Russia have made a podcast necessary to...

The interview that broke the internet

#BasedTucker’s interview with The Putin was, perhaps, the most highly anticipated video release of recent years. It dropped yesterday night, my time, and I finally managed to finish watching it this morning. The full interview is, as of this writing, still...
#BasedTucker meets The Putin

#BasedTucker meets The Putin

The picture at the top of this poast is a sort of Russian in-joke, which I confess I do not understand in the slightest. It has to do with a character from a children’s book series, published in Sweden, dating all the way back to the 1940s, called...
