Despite the name of this place I do like to think of myself as an original thinker (sometimes I even live up to the idea) and I often find myself pondering the way society has locked itself into what are actually very unoriginal and limiting modes of thought.
The one that’s come up in particular is [...]
That treaty. That damn treaty. Constitution in all but name. I’ve avoided EU issues for quite some time (as there are people better covering it than I) but it inevitably intrudes in every aspect of life.
It’s a done deal. A fait acomplis. No way out of it In the process of this constitution treaty becoming [...]
The anti-jihad doesn’t matter.
It’s a pretty controversial statement, I agree, but it’s true. We cannot change the world.
We fight, but our governments and their useful idiots ignore us. We protest and they call us “racist” and “haters”. We ask only that we be allowed to share our views and they call us “intolerant”. The way [...]
It’s one of those conclusion times again. Oh yes, ignore my previous post about commenting, I realised that my oh so valuable opinion was much needed.
Yeah.
Seriously though I realised withdrawing myself from the conversations was actually arrogance, assuming I was better than people simply because I didn’t agree with them. Then I spotted [...]
It’s the post you don’t want to make. The “I’m leaving such and so” post, the one that makes you sound a wee bit superior and snobbish, holier than thou, or just plain arrogant. Yep. That sort of post.
Gates of Vienna, more than any other blog, got me into this whole blogging thing. The Baron [...]
A story has broke recently, regarding a blogger named Lionheart, who faces arrest on his return to the UK over trumped-up charges of inciting racial hatred. (More analysis linked here)
LGF is curiously silent on the matter. Possibly Charles is observing his 24 hour rule but it’s been a bit more than that already, and at [...]
And I have pictures to prove it!
See? Nazi salute!
Anyone can make any symbol mean anything they want if they try hard enough. It is very easy to prove that the US is becoming fascist if you dig just a little.
And what does all of that prove? That the US is really the new nazi germany? [...]
The slight disagreement between LGF and Gates of Vienna (and others) – over “supremacists” vlaams belang and co – has apparently started down its home stretch. The latest story is making the rounds and a fascinating tale it is, too, dealing with symbology and the sort of historical context that the whole Web2.0 generation seem [...]
My brother’s wife is a friend of the Mayor of Asunción (capital city of Paraguay). The mayor of Asunción spends rather a lot of time with the President of Paraguay, who has been known to occasionally have contact with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
I’M A FUCKING COMMUNIST!!!
Or at least I am if you apply the purity [...]
Recent events at LGF and Gates of Vienna, amongst others, have left me at something of a loss. I’ve made several attempts to organise my thoughts on the matter in to a coherent narrative but, unlike some of my compatriots, it would appear that my ability to essay is rather lacking except in the spur [...]
