Reminder: There’s No Voting Our Way out of This

Today strikes me as a good time to repost this piece from three years ago. You're always in for something interesting when you go back through the archives for a little perspective. A previous post on how the tide is turning against legacy media and its Leftist bias drew commenters…

Baptism by Fire

Reader Durandel asks, Can we win with the leaderless, multiheaded hydra approach without at some point having a legitimate, genuine leader who is then martyred for the cause to trigger the Right into action? I've had reservations about the "no leaders" approach for a while. Granted, military history is not…

Sheep Without a Shepherd

Sheep Without a Shepherd

A recent post elicited some black pills in the comments, so it seems like a good time to put the current state of dissident politics in perspective. There's a feeling in the air that the energy of 2016 has largely dissipated. Even staunch MAGApedes are wondering if they haven't poured…

Hollywood Can’t Sonic

Hollywood Can’t Sonic

A professional animator explains why the Hollywood version of beloved video game icon Sonic the Hedgehog looks like blue cancer.

To Whom Shall We Go?

To Whom Shall We Go?

An important reminder that conversion is a grace, and God calls whomever He wills. No, not to anime fandom. To the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Praise to Our Lord Jesus Christ and welcome to Not John Daker. May the Lord draw you into ever closer communion with Him…

What Slippery Slope?

What Slippery Slope?

The vast overreach perpetrated by the Coalition of the Fringes in their Trump-induced frenzy is beginning to make normies take notice. From William M. Briggs: Long-time school teacher Peter Vlaming was fired for saying these words: “Don’t let her run into the wall.” Problem is, the lunatic parents of the…

Love of Theory…

Love of Theory…

...is the root of all evil, as the otherwise quite astute Z Man demonstrates as he fails to see the epistemological corner his penchant for biological determinism paints him into. Part of what drives the persistence of bad ideas is they seem to address a need among modern people to…
