Absorption in the digital realm leaves kids feeling detached from their physical bodies. Virtual identities, invented through online play-acting and unwieldy pronouns, fuse with actual identities.

Joe Allen, Dark Æon

When very young people spend a lot of time interacting with a screen, they don’t grow into a normal awareness of their physicality. Their bodies are not completely real to them because they aren’t truly felt. The result is a subconscious but overpowering need to turn the body into a problem, endow it with festering wounds in order to be able to feel it. These wounds can be physical or mental but they are always invented and their purpose is finally to feel something.

As the technium expands, it transforms human nature. We are a civilization in transition. In many countries, the affirmation of transgender identity is enforced by law. Discrimination and “misgendering” are punishable by stiff fines, public shaming, and professional ruin. The Iron Rainbow hangs over our heads.

Joe Allen, Dark Æon: Transhumanism and the War against Humanity

The reason why the most recent interview makes such an emphasis on illegality is that the journalist needed an organizing idea for the piece. And her organizing idea was that I’m a victim because I’m a woman.

“Was it harder for you to get published because you are a woman? Was it harder to get tenure? To get recognition?” I said no to everything and explained that we have blind review. Nobody could have discriminated against me, even if they wanted, which nobody did.

But then I had to provide an alternative hook, so I did.

Actually, it’s easier to publish in my field when you are a woman. To give a single example, next week I’m speaking at a conference about masculinity. All speakers are female, and there’ll probably be an edited volume that will come out of it. But do you imagine an all-male conference panel on femininity? Or even on masculinity? Even if it did happen, it would be total crap because all men are allowed to say about masculinity is that it’s horrible. And I’ll give a talk that will be actually interesting because I don’t have these constraints.

These are the people we subserviently warn about upcoming terror attacks on their territory because God forbid they suffer any unpleasantness during the war they started:

And what do we gain from this eager subservience? When warned by Americans about the upcoming act of terror in Moscow, Putin publicly cussed them out and is now using the warning to insinuate that Americans knew about the terror attack because they organized it in the first place.

More proof that the US is not at war with Russia and, to the contrary, is positively disposed towards it:

Can you imagine Churchill warning Hitler that somebody was about to shoot Germans in Berlin in 1942?

Unfortunately, this American magnanimity is completely one-sided.

People get upset when I say the US soldiers are weak and pathetic but how would you characterize this?

It’s embarrassing to watch. See the dude with the fat butt who stands vapidly by while his comrades are pushed around and then runs away?

This unit should be renamed “anti-national guard.”

The whole thing is surreal. Yes, the Afghanistan withdrawal was embarrassing but at least it didn’t happen every day for years. This clown show does.

A terrible night for Ukraine. I didn’t sleep because I can’t while Kharkiv is being mass bombed. In the meantime, stupid Jack Sullivan is telling Ukraine not to bomb the Russian oil refineries because it’s mean, or something.

The Biden administration has been such a fail. They help Russia and Hamas, they send ginormous amounts of money to Iran so that Iran can give Russia even more Shaheed drones to destroy Ukraine. Domestically, they have the absolute gall to claim they reduced crime. Their vaunted crime reduction is in comparison with 2020, and the gullible among us don’t even notice the trick that’s pulled on them. The crime spike of 2020 came from the BLM and the resulting depolicing. These absolute cynics first engineer a huge crime wave and then want to be rewarded for bringing crime rates down in comparison to the crime wave of their own making.

I can’t, in good conscience, vote for these people. But I can’t vote for Trump either because he’s just as indecisive, dishonest and useless. Six years after becoming a citizen and being so excited finally to vote, I’ll probably sit out this presidential election because choosing between two shades of excrement is no choice at all.

Remember the story about the very left-wing woman who had to put her daughter into a Christian school? It was in 2021. The public school closed down every time somebody tested positive, and the progressive mother had a demanding job. So they had to put the kid into a local hardcore Evangelical school.

It looks like, in the intervening years, the very decisive little girl has managed to convert the whole family. The mother who used to post BLM slogans and such on social media now posts stories about how “last night we prayed as a family and we realized that God’s blessings…” Every time I backtrack and check to see if it’s the same person.

I spent the evening at Klara’s Easter concert, so I’m all in favor of such transformations.
