Forced altruism is false altruism, and those who would force others to be altruistic are entirely self-serving, even if they act altruistic themselves. It should come as no surprise that such hypocrisy is rife among the sociopaths who desire to control everything, because in the upside-down world of totalitarianism, the words used in propaganda typically…
Collectivism and Militarism are Inseparable
Every soldier sacrifices their individual needs and desires for the benefit of the unit. This is neither good nor bad, it simply is. However, this is not how a liberal society operates. Rather than the citizen's purpose being to live one's life to benefit society, society operates to benefit its citizens. The reason that the…
The Fallacy of the Collective Good
Those who can get you to believe in absurdities can get you to commit atrocities, and every atrocity has been committed in the name of the greater good, for the greater good is nothing more than the alibi of tyrants. That sentence combines three great quotes regarding the fallacy of the greater good, and that…
The Great Reset is Anything But
When I started the GAG files, I initially intended to write in a chronological order, detailling the slow, unrelenting creep of authoritarianism throughout all of human history. I may still do that at some point, perhaps as a stand-alone book under an obscure pen-name ("Oleksandr Varyazhskii)," perhaps, or some other deliberate red herring), but for…
Don’t Debate Ideologues
Simply mock them, because that's what they will do to you, whether you are aware of it or not. This is going to be an unusual post, even compared to my other editorials. I want to start off by mentioning that I fully intend to translate my previous article (which is not an editorial), but…
There are Two Types of People
Right, call this click-bait if you wish, for I don't know what you thought you might find: a refutation, a collection of "two types of people" memes, satire, or some rather mid-witted diatribe. What follows is probably closest to the latter. I shall begin by immediately refuting my own title, because the conclusion I've come…
Two Interesting Books
This is not an opinion piece, though I put it in that section because it really doesn't belong anywhere else. I suppose I should add another section for "literature" or "book reviews," specifically, if I end up making more posts like this. With that out of the way, let's get to the books! The books…
Another Point About False Dichotomies: Reality Denial Knows no Ideological Bounds
What follows is my longest opinion piece yet. While I fully expect that anyone who is determined enough to read the whole thing will walk away feeling the need to drive their fist through their computer screen, I did not write such an inflammatory article unprovoked. America is the land of false dichotomies; "you are…
Are You Complicit?
If you read my previous post and click the links I provide, then you'll see some rather hostile comments being thrown in multiple directions. Of course, I'm not at all surprised that a bunch of Sanders-supporters, colloquially known as "Bernie bros" on the internet, are salty and refuse to listen to reason. Hypocrisy is rife…
A Point or Two About False Dichotomies
Well, a certain false dichotomy, that is, specifically the "left-right" political dichotomy of the United States. My primary reason for discussing it right now is in response to some rather vitriolic comments on a recent article on Bracing Views. In the event that I get into another spat with Greg or someone like him, I'll…
