Hindu-Tamil ( ॐ ) depiction of Mariamman ( மாரியம்மன் ) Political Indoctrination | Wednesday – March 25, 2026 P olitical Indoctrination is a prerequisite in everything that requires the active engagement of the masses, and while this applies in particular to democracy , you would surely be hard pressed to find any other kind of engagement outside the officially established democracies, and this is perhaps best understood by the fact that most regimes around the world that clearly do not qualify as democracies still rely on that label or pretense, and whatever the case it is clearer still that such regimes while not being democratic in the formal sense still relies heavily upon the movement in on or the other direction of the masses . Indeed, it is even more clear that this kind of "zero sum" mentality is an inherent feature of democracy: either you are with me or you are against men, and surely most people cannot be against democracy? But political indoctrination requires muc...

King Shō Shin ( 尚真 ) Notes on Self-Defense | Tuesday – March 24, 2026 H ave I caused offense with all of my previous posts about the fragility of so-called men? Buh-huh-huh... Cry me a river. Cry me a river. The fact is that there can be no such thing as a man that is unable to defend himself; a man without lethality is an impossibility, there can be no such creature. Of course, lethality cannot be separated from self-defense, but this does not mean that the primary goal of self-defense should be a lethal outcome, but it does mean that self-defense contains within it, as a principle, the possibility of lethality, and indeed I do not believe that lethality in and of itself is a bad thing, because it would serve the cosmological order right to eliminate disturbances , and this is of course the other side of the metaphysics of crime . All of this should be obvious, but I gather that there are some persons that still fail to understand this, especially if they insist upon being "offen...

The Woman's Land Army of America Clarifying Statements about Men | Monday – March 23, 2026 B ecause of past statements on this page, I felt, again, a strong need to clarify a couple of things regarding the metaphysical status of men. To me, it is rather clear that men are depressing and sad creatures, but this did not always used to be the case; the sad and depressing modern man is just that, a feature of modernity. Women on the other hand do not appear to be sad at all, and in fact I would advise, and I will advise, people who consider children to strongly avoid putting a son to the world. I am not a proponent of abortion under most circumstances, but there is an argument to be had in this connection: surely it would be proper to abort a fetus if there is no life to be expected out of that fetus, and besides there are no strong doctrines outside the Catholic church opposing abortions. I still do not view abortions as a good thing, but then again arguing about whether something i...
