The Last Jedi and Fake Reviews

The Last Jedi and Fake Reviews

We already knew that The Last Jedi was a con. Now proof has surfaced that the reviled Star Wars movie's ridiculously high Rotten Tomatoes critics' score is likewise a sham. Geeks and Gamers reports on leaked audio from Fanboys director Kyle Newman, who admitted that Rian Johnson's abomination was just as poorly…

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…
