The Diocese of Egypt

This is part of a series on Roman Catholicism. See this index. I’m going to take a break from my on-going series on masculinity to report on Monday’s breaking news. In an unprecedented move, the Vatican has approved the blessing of same-sex couples. The news—which has been rumored for some …

Masculinity and the Manosphere: Part 3

Part 2 of this series discussed the issue of fat men and masculinity. It showed that being fat—while generally unhealthy—is no reason to turn in your man card, but that many such men are quite masculine indeed. When you consider the tea drinking fat AI-generated preacher… …you’ll likely find that …

Masculinity and the Manosphere: Part 2

In part 1 of the series, I began a discussion about how the manosphere and red-pill notions of masculinity are skewed towards leftist philosophy and (ironically) the effeminate. One common aspect of expressed masculinity that has been pushed is physical fitness, specifically body weight. And so today I want to …

Masculinity and the Manosphere: Part 1

I’m starting a series that I’ve been wanting to write for some time. The manosphere claims to be about the promotion of patriarchy and masculinity as the pinnacles of manhood, but the tactics they use and the opinions they share are lefitst and they are effeminate. Over the course of this …

Where Do Leftists Get Their Ideas?

Where do leftists get their ideas? I have argued here that the answer is intellectuals using the authority of science. Maybe I am mistaken. Rather than disagree vehemently, prove it. Where do leftist ideas come from? If you have a better answer, let everyone here know. — comment by Arch Angel, …

Meeting the Masters

Back in “Believing Whatever You Want to Believe” (from 2016!) I wrote about William Wildblood, who was visited by beings he calls the Masters, who I’ve always presumed—out of an abundance of caution—were demonic, but I never found as much to criticize about his views on Christianity. In any case, …

Racial Segregation

Race and Intelligence In my short series on intelligence and education, I discussed how blankslatists believe that intelligence is largely environmental and that everyone has equal potential. In “Utilitarian Racism“, I noted that blankslatists believe a person’s moral worth is tied to that particular concept of equality. Underlying blankslatism is a …
