The Left as the Trojan Horse of Jew Hatred
The regressive Left’s identitarian-intersectionalism fetish (sadly with many IYI Jews in their ranks) are the Trojan Horse of Jew hatred. Their shallow and incoherent identitarian politics presents a threefold danger: (1) white supremacist groups have now been relicensed to play that game. And yet, the regressives find their primary purpose as Nazi hunters, the uptick of…
The Tribe: The Liberal-Left and the System of Diversity
Looking forward to Ben’s forthcoming book. Ben, much like Frank Furedi, refreshingly offers sane commentary and insightful analysis from a Left perspective. Ben would be a terrific addition to the Spiked and Quillette rosters. ben cobleyFrank Furedifree speechidentity politicslabour partyPolitical philosophyregressive left
Cultural “Appropriation”
A misnomer if ever there was one. It’s the time of year (Halloween) when the ritualized faux outrage, the pearl-clutching virtue-signaling, often emanating from naively rationalistic and vain “Chardonnay socialists”, reaches fever-pitch. Conceptually lazy and illiterate concerning complexity and the evolutionary dynamic of spontaneous order (i.e. culture, for better or worse), they are doomed (pardon the…
Forgetfulness: Making the Modern Culture of Amnesia

Trying to control culture from a rationalistic perspective is bound to frustrate: the upshot is that cultural marxists have to double down, manifest as even more authoritarian. Their whole project is akin to “pissing in the wind” but we pay a grim price…

There’s No Such Thing as Islamophobia: Critique of religion is a fundamental Western right, not an illness
Superb analysis in City Journal by Pascal Bruckner outlining the fuckwittery that the regressive left is so complicitous with, and sadly, a disproportionate number of over-compensating virtue-signaling Jews buy into this dhimmitude under the guise of anti-Zionism. Also tiresome is when these nihilistically delusional dhimmies claim that there is no connection between Islam and terror. As…
