Been loving the recent recommitment to ‘great men’ and their ambition. It’s been a great counter to the postmodern dreck we’re surrounded by, but I’m curious why so many people think the coming decade(s) will embrace an Alexander or Cortés mindset? Besides our own desires and…

For a considerable time, the Green movement hasn't been green; the Feminist movement hasn't been about women; the Human Rights movement hasn't been about rights; the Anti-Racist movement has been racist. All have merged with each other (intersectionality) and with the Pattern.
What the hell did I just watch? Jill Stein, the Green Party leader, says Jews can go back to Poland, that Zionists are 0.1% of Jews (we are over 95% of Jews) that the Israeli army is attacking American students on campus and they are at a risk of a genocide. Doesn’t get dumber:
