This obsession with racism and profusion of race hoaxes ironically indicates that there is very LITTLE white racism. This is a supply problem for our progressive overlords. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/racism-hoa...

They will impose monolithic, misleading cultural narratives… and then pretend that they haven’t. They will use shaming language against dissenters and critics, even if the criticism is factual or done in good faith. This is how institutions are captured. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/fable-making

It seems undeniable to me that we are getting collectively weaker & it seems to be strategic. This is much bigger than just a political problem, but it DOES interact with politics in strange and unhelpful ways. And very few people want to talk about it. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/were-getti...

The left likes to accuse the right of venerating bad men. When one reads about the character of Marx, Rousseau, Foucault, Davis, etc. it becomes pretty clear that this is merely projection. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/queer-theo...

I generally enjoy Nolan films, but the additions and the fact that the film is based on a feminist re-imagining of the story isn’t promising. Feminists aren’t good at mythos or stories of masculine heroism… almost by definition. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/hollywood-...

In this new, pervasive scheme, feelings become the guide for legal operation: if officials are angry, punishments will be levied. If they feel pity, penalties will be withheld. This is now, in many courtrooms. the guiding conception… jmpolemic.substack.com/p/the-femini...

If this was totalitarianism we would see commissars. We might call them DEI officers, bias response teams, sensitivity readers. We would see Lysenkoism, the corruption of science by ideology, where people are punished and excluded for their dissent. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/substack-n...

I don’t really care what Gavin Newsom is up to. His state is a governing disaster, producing interstate refugees by the millions. Education, cost of living, crime, new construction, homelessness, home prices-CA is dead last in each of these categories. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/the-gavin-...

While the Left used to be intellectually promiscuous and full of ferment and diversity, they now contain essentially two impulses: (1) identity politics/social justice and (2) government spending on clients and nonprofits. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/a-clear-pa...

Patriotism requires children. When there are too few children in society the concept of ‘home’ and ‘future’ become matters of bias, fashion, identity. For a country to maintain a vital national spirit there must be many children. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/substack-n...

Our culture often tolerates and even encourages hostility and disdain of straight white men (or men, or white people, etc.). This is a gleeful and socially celebrated habit in many spaces and it’s a bad thing, more for the haters than for the SWM. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/the-scapeg...

The Left pretends that, because they valorize immigrants or promote trans activism, they can’t be totalitarian. ANY set of values arranged against free expression and individual agency can be totalitarian. jmpolemic.substack.com/p/the-age-of...
