I understand preppers now
A zombie apocalypse is unlikely, but not impossible. More likely to happen is that the world will fundamentally change for the commoner in a way we are already well aware of, but haven’t really thought enough about. Yes we could all die as the nuclear arsenals are foisted upon each other by the capitalist classes Continue reading

A horse to water
William Buckley’s words were sophisticated, maybe too much so for the audience he was speaking to, and certainly we would not recognise the style now as something we could relate to. Such assuredness and confidence oozing out of each elongated sentence, performance notes in the execution of every critical word, pauses timed and positioned with Continue reading

He bought stuff
He inherits money, buys stuff, that stuff goes up in value, so he buys more stuff, the value rises again. He goes from wealthy to very wealthy, so he buys more stuff, that stuff goes up in value too. Someone else is designing and engineering this stuff, someone else is making this stuff, someone else Continue reading

Street Rangers?
I’m about to make what is called a slippery slope argument. I am aware that this tactic can be rather flawed but I will try to stay away from drawing too much inference from the initial postulate and stick with what is likely in an effort to not appear to be a tinfoil-hat wearing internet Continue reading

Do it for no other reason
I spent a lot of time on YouTube watching documentaries about the lives of poor US communities and I was shocked to see how the richest country in the world regularly treated its marginalised people. They basically abandon them to charity. The theme that runs through each is the prideful nature of the inhabitants of Continue reading

Road raging
We, in our naivety, believe that each of us is part of a collective, I’ve referred to this as the herd in past posts. That view is not incorrect in my opinion, but it is also not completely true. I’m going to support it and challenge it at the same time. It’s not a secret Continue reading

Dissecting the Tommy mind
I decided to do an experiment on my intellect this weekend, I would expose myself to the rhetoric of what is portrayed as the far right wing. I know what I mean by the term right wing, I am in no doubt about what I see this term to represent, but that may change as Continue reading

Deliberate Abstract
When a circus is in town they put up posters, you could see and know it was a circus flyer from the back of a galloping horse as you passed, you’d likely even catch the venue and date. Yet when you see a planning application stapled to a telegraph pole, that fucker couldn’t be harder Continue reading

A distinct lack of options
We visit a lot of historical sites, it’s our thing to be curious about why things have turned out as they are, and history provides a great perspective in understanding ideology and structure. I’ve said in previous posts that I think belief underpins ideology, but what of the situations that these ideologies create that affect Continue reading

The boss’s son effect
A long time ago a co-worker told me “there’s no asshole like the boss’s son”, though I cannot remember now who I am quoting. What he was saying was that the boss made the business what it is now, it’s success is their success. The boss’s children, if they have become involved in the business, Continue reading
