Free thought can lead you to discover the truth when no-one else is speaking it, but it can also lead you to the wrong conclusion, particularly when you have only part of the picture available to you. This, I suspect, is the true reason that so few people are willing to speak out against coordinated…
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…
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…
A Controversial History Lesson – Redone
Two days ago, I wrote a post titled "A Controversial History Lesson," as a response to antisemitic comments that I regularly see on BitChute. Admittedly, I was a bit ruffled, so I didn't include everything that I wanted to, and set it to private after only a day (I never delete anything). Some of these…
Another Day, Another Few Dead Men. Why Am I Nonplussed?
To quote Roger Waters, I have become comfortably numb. In fact, I wasn't going to write anything today, but the OUTRAGE at the two recent "mass shootings" (I hate that phrase, it's misleading) and President Trump's supposedly pre-written reaction to them has me annoyed to the point that my work must wait, it seems. There…
The Fight Between the Practical and the Ideal
My back is quite sore from working on my pond yesterday. Not so much from lifting heavy rocks, but from simply being bent over. I'm a natural back-bender, not a front-bender as most people are, but no-one seems to understand that. All the yoga in the world has not helped me touch my toes, but…
More Bad Ideas that Won’t Die: the Allure of Anarcho-Communism
I've gotten involved in quite a few arguments on BitChute with both libertarians and communists, and now, that seems to have spilled over to Steemit as well. I've had my fair share of discussions here on WordPress also, which is why I've decided to now write a piece to make my position as clear as…
Of Battleships and Speed-Boats
The following two paragraphs are meant to be a response to Andrew Tanner's reply to my comment on Monday Military Musings, but it won't show up. I tried posting it four times, twice as a response to him, once as a response to myself, and once as a new comment, but it never showed up. …
Of BitChute Music and Cancelled Vlogs
I had planned to start making a vlog on BitChute with regular updates, but this format is much quicker for me. As much as I would love to make animations, Adobe Flash CS3 is very picky when it comes to the exact settings for MP3 files that are used as soundtracks. I've found a complete…
Come On WordPress, I Thought You Were Cool
Right, so, I have some issues with WordPress. And LinkedIn, for much the same reason, which I will explain shortly. The first issue I'd like to bring up is the traffic. I know that, technically speaking, someone doesn't have to view any of my posts in order to actually read them, since I make the…
