Photograph of the Atlas globe Western Hegemony | Tuesday – June 16, 2026 H egemony over the world, as they say , is a funny and interesting thing indeed. Of course, it would be true to say that the West , more than any other civilization or set of comparable civilizations,  in our time , read " Can Western Civilization Be Restored? ", hold a kind of "hegemonic", to use that rather implicit neologism , power over the world: for instance, the diffusion, read " Ideological Indoctrination ", of all kinds of clearly insane , from a historical point of view, constructions and habits are taken for granted as a favorable, rather than adverse , phenomena, and that verily the world is somehow, in an almost magic way, approaching more and more progress , some kind of limit or threshold  that may never be reached but that nonetheless should remain the grand political narrative and the core of the Western mission to "enlightened" and "rescue" the ...

Smokers' Delight By Troy T. The Case For Smoking | Monday – June 15, 2026 S moking, a topic that I have covered in the past , is too often considered unhealthy and even immoral. The facts are, of course, much more nuanced and much more complicated: sure, profane scientists claim that smoking " kills " and causes all sorts of diseases, as if modern are not diseased enough already , but they very rarely mention the real benefits that smoking can provide, such as calming the nerves and regulating your mood, really helping you to perfect your life.

How is that statistic, that number, helpful? No, these...

Tibetan ( 卐 ) depiction of Mahakala ( महाकाल ): The Protector of the Dharma ( धर्म ) Hard Work? Sunday – June 14, 2026 I n our times there is a lot of talk about hard work, as if hard work in and of itself will produce great results. Of course, the reality is that hard work in and of itself is quite worthless, even in the most corporeal sense imaginable , because what modern people demand and expect is always great comfort, and if a man is a hard worker yet his work fails to produce great comfort, he should expect a low wage. To put it in more technical terms: if you are working hard but the work you are doing is in low demand and there is a lot of supply of the kind of work that you are doing, then you should expect a low wage, regardless of the amount of work, hard or not, that you put in, read " What is Capitalism? ". So, essentially the whole concept of working hard is really nothing but a big fat lie , and I would submit to you that the objective of this "big fat li...
