The last video by the Chinese state news agency Xinhua wasn't widely appreciated by my Western audience. The common reaction is that Asians just are awfully bad at propaganda.
Yes, they are pretty bad. And that's an Asian thing; it's not a communist thing. Look at this video by the Japanese Foreign Ministry. This also ties with my other recent post on Japanese decline.
The thing with Divine Revelation is that it is hard to notice. But sensitive people of all stripes can and do notice what is going on. Those with heartened hearts do not see what is happening even if its in front of their noses. But those who understand the ways of the Gods can sense it even thousands of miles away.
The Minister of the Interior (!) of Israel had this to say about the American election. (H/T Vladimir)
Now of course, when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail. To an...

You might remember that I called leftists "psychopathic status maximizers". Look at these people. Look carefully. Do you think they "believe" in some set of values?
No. It's all crap. We know since David Hume. We humans don't really know anything. You can't. You only get to be quite certain after a lot of trial and error about a very narrow area that yo...
In 1944 Jorge Luis Borges, the best writer that the American hemisphere has ever produced; wrote a short story called "Three Versions of Judas". The gist is that Judas should be our object of worship, because only by his treason of Jesus he made the crucifixion possible; and it was that which saved humanity. So no Judas, no salvation. Blessed be him.
Well, by that logic God Emperor Trump was made possible only by the treason of Anthony Weiner. So blessed be Weiner. Praise Weiner. Praise Kek.

A light hearted respite from all the heavy and gloomy stuff of late.
Japan is not without its problems, but one of its best parts is how they shamelessly copy anything. Identity politics is just not a thing over there, so you can produce things like this.

This is not a parody. There's a whole genre of local rap. It's obviously a shameless rip-off of black American rap, but who cares. The Japanese don't speak English and if they want to enjoy gangsta rap, ...
Von Neumann, widely regarded as perhaps the most intelligent man who ever lived, had this to say:
There's an amazing story (H/T Candide) of a Belgian couple who for some stupid reason decided to drive across the Belgian Congo (DRC today). They documented the whole trip on this forum. The whole adventure is a great story, of course. Unless you're like me, and can't stop wondering why would anybody attempt such a stupid trip. Why, oh why. I mean I sorta get it if you're a 20 something man with your...
I shut down my Twitter account last week (didn´t see the point really), and the blog's being slow too. But don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
What the hell am I doing you say? Well I'm busy. I found the best site in the internet.
I was chatting with Slittyeye on HBD, looking up pics of weird tribes on Google Images, when I stumbled upon the best fucking site on the internet. I came upon this link, which has pictures of albino Dravidians (!). Real cool pics.
When I first started this blog, I predicted that I'd run out of things to say about politics quite soon, and could carve up a nice niche by talking of East Asian issues from a neoreactionary perspective. At the moment I've been lucky enough to find a good audience just by speaking my mind on politics in general, and I don't intend to stop just yet, but I sometimes think I'd be more useful by bringing forward some real data on what's going on in this part of the world.
