Experts approve

One of the foremost authorities on Qanon, NEON REVOLT, very much likes ALT-HERO:Q #1. He posted his initial reaction on Gab:

Wooooooow. This is actually really good!

Vox Day’s Alt-Hero Q issue one, is now available for purchase through his Arkhaven Comics site, and on Amazon.

And as though it were by by some divine coincidence, it’s written by Chuck Dixon, the guy who did a ton of work on The Punisher and Batman.

(I swear to god, none of this was planned).

This is an honest-to-goodness spy story, and possibly the first piece of fiction inspired by #QAnon, and man, it’s a lot of fun.

And no, we don’t mind patriots posting single panels or creating memes from the comic. WWG1WGA.

This is why moderation is required

In case you find yourself being a little irritated by way in which the institution of comment moderation here causes a delay in the appearance of your comments, don’t be. Be grateful instead. Because what you no longer see is the antics of all the angry gammas sperging out in hapless gamma rage at their rejection from the group here.

For example, the banned gamma who goes by the laughable name “spinoza” posted this comment 28 straight times today between 3:13 and 3:19 PM, as he apparently failed to realize that his comments go directly into spam now.

This is nothing, in fact, it is two orders of magnitude less than the worst gamma tantrum we’ve witnessed here. And what you also probably don’t know is that every single gamma who is banned attempts to continue posting here after being told not to do so. That’s how reliable the socio-sexual hierarchy is. Although the level of persistence and the number of attempts vary, they exhibit the exact same patterns of behavior every single time.

Once you see how they respond to being rejected, you begin to understand why women react to them as if they are lethally radioactive cancer-causing agents.

AH:Q #1 now available

Arkhaven Comics is very pleased to announce that the digital edition of Alt★Hero:Q issue #1 Where We Go One is now available in CBZ and Kindle formats.

AH:Q backers should check your email, as we have sent out emails with download links to both formats to all the backers. Please note that these were only sent out to AH:Q backers, not backers of the original ALT-HERO campaign.

If you still cannot find it, then please email us at books -at- castaliahouse -dot- com and we will add your email to the mailing list.

That would be awkward

My money would be on China getting there first.

The US military is desperately trying to recover the wreckage of a Japanese F-35A stealth fighter which crashed over the Pacific yesterday amid fears China and Russia could beat them to it. Parts of the tail of the world’s most sophisticated stealth jet have already been found after it disappeared off the radar 85 miles east of Misawa, Japan during a training mission.

Eight ships and seven aircraft,including a U.S. Navy P-8 Orion maritime patrol plane, are looking for traces of the jet that is believed to have sunk to 5,000ft. The pilot of the aircraft is still missing.

But experts today warned that Russia and China could also be trying to get their hands on the aircraft to discover its secrets.

Tom Moore, a former senior professional staff member at the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, tweeted: ‘There is no price too high in this world for China and Russia to pay to get Japan’s missing F-35, if they can. Big deal.’

‘Bottom line is that it would not be good,’ retired US Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula told Business Insider.

It is believed Russia and China could be using their advanced submarines to scour the ocean floor in search of the jet in order to steal vital technology on board. And experts have warned that parts of the jet could easily be replicated if they do recover the wreckage before US or Japanese search teams.

On the other hand, given the apparent shortcomings of the F-35, the bigger fear might be the Chinese or Russians learning that there is no reason to replicate any parts of the jet. It’s interesting how this storyline tends to track the plot of A Mind Programmed/The Programmed Man.

Foreign investment

This destruction of the housing stock by rich foreign owners is the sort of consequence the free traders never factor into their “it’s good for the economy” arguments when considering the free flow of capital:

Drained whirlpools, decaying walls and foliage creeping up the stairs can be seen on a North London street called Billionaires’ Row. Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, north London, is one of the most exclusive roads in the country, but many of its 66 mansions lie vacant. Footage taken by ‘urban explorers’ shows moss growing up the once pristine white walls of the huge rooms and swimming pools with a shallow layer of murky water. The gardens rise high and in many the decor is clearly a few decades behind.

They include a selection of residences worth £73 million, reportedly bought for the Saudi royals between 1989 and 1993. In those days the homes caught be purchased for a cool million, now prices rise to around £20 million. In 2014, an estimated £350 million worth of mansions could be found on the prestigious street, the Guardian reported.

An Iranian resident told the paper: ‘Ninety-five percent of the people who live here don’t actually live here. It is a terrible place to live really.

So, the best housing stock in the most desirable areas is being destroyed, but on the plus side, the natives can’t afford to live there anyway. And the cycle will only continue as new developments are built to house the people who now live elsewhere and are building up a desirable neighborhoods that will attract more foreign “investors”.

Why the US is moving toward socialism

The Week suggests three reasons:

The question, then, is whether or not capitalism seems to be improving American lives. If so, it’ll remain dominant. If not, alternatives will look increasingly attractive. Here are three pieces of evidence that the capitalist system in America is, indeed, broken:

1. Leaders are paving the way for a second massive economic crisis within a generation.

Regulators are starting to ease the rules put in place after the economic meltdown that led to the Great Recession a decade ago. The Fed, for example, wants to loosen requirements for big banks to have plans in place to close in an emergency without requiring a government bailout. Congress and regulators are making it easier for those same banks to make the kinds of high-risk loans that led to the last economic disaster. The government last year rolled back the Dodd-Frank law that enshrined many economic protections into law.

2. It is becoming more and more difficult for the average American to live life sustainably.

3. The party of capitalism put Donald Trump in the White House.

All three reasons are legitimate, though not as significant as two additional reasons. The first is that there are now tens of millions of US citizens from nations with strong socialist traditions. For example, two of the three major Mexican parties are members of the Socialist International.

The second is that the media is dominated by individuals whose politics range the gamut from Marxian to Trotksyite.

Losing our true selves

This selection from Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 underlines the fundamental evil of Ben Shapiro’s attempt to redefine Western Civilization by rewriting Christianity and the European nations out of it.

“Do you have the book you were talking about with the Professor,” Fuka-Eri asked. “The one with Big Brother.”

“1984? I don’t have that one.”

“What kind of story is it.”

Tengo tried to recall the plot. “I read it once a long time ago in the school library, so I don’t remember the details too well. It was published in 1949, when 1984 seemed like a time far in the future.”

“That’s this year.”

“Yes, by coincidence. At some point the future becomes reality. And then it quickly becomes the past. In his novel, George Orwell depicted the future as a dark society dominated by totalitarianism. People are rigidly controlled by a dictator named Big Brother. Information is restricted, and history is constantly being rewritten. The protagonist works in a government office, and I’m pretty sure his job is to rewrite words. Whenever a new history is written, the old histories all have to be thrown out. In the process, words are remade, and the meanings of current words are changed. What with history being rewritten so often, nobody knows what is true anymore. They lose track of who is an enemy and who an ally. It’s that kind of story.”

“They rewrite history.”

“Robbing people of their actual history is the same as robbing them of part of themselves. It’s a crime.”

Fuka-Eri thought about that for a moment.

Tengo went on, “Our memory is made up of our individual memories and our collective memories. The two are intimately linked. And history is our collective memory. If our collective memory is taken from us—is rewritten—we lose the ability to sustain our true selves.”

Indiegogo hate campaign list

Indiegogo is attempting to legally strike back at ALT-HERO:Q. We believe we can very easily demonstrate the absurdity of their claims by pointing out how many of their campaigns are promoting hate by the ludicrous standard of the ADL, so I’m asking the Dread Ilk and the Reprehensibles to compile a comprehensive list of these Indiegogo hate campaigns for the legal team. This is the post to which you can add Indiegogo hate campaigns in the comments. Be sure to leave four details:

  • The name of the campaign
  • The URL of the campaign on the Indiegogo site
  • The specific hate symbol from the ADL Hate Symbol list that appears in the campaign
  • The end date of the campaign if it has ended, otherwise just note CURRENT.
All comments are moderated so don’t worry if your comment with a campaign or four does not appear immediately. Please follow the directions precisely. We need all four elements, one per line, with the SPECIFIC ADL hate symbol listed in the third line.

The fake opposition

A progressive embraces the Ineffectual Dork Weasels:

The vast majority of people in the IDW are extremely liberal on all of the core issues like abortion, climate change, gay marriage, etc. They’re not neocons, they’re not alt-right, and they’re not racists. They’re the opposite of that, actually, and the main thing they have in common is the desire to preserve and amplify good-faith conversation.

Rather than bash them due to something you heard from this one place—or that one friend—take the time to actually listen. Most of them are progressive just like you and me. And if you’re not liberal that’s fine too—listening will show you that true discussion is still possible.

The author suggests that Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson as partial exceptions who are not “extremely liberal”, but of course, he also mistakenly believes the Littlest Chickenhawk “doesn’t want to impose his religious ideas upon you through government” which is unintentionally hilarious to anyone who has read Shapiro’s book dedicated to the notion that both America and Western Civilization are Jewish.  But he did produce this useful chart:

And remember, this is supposed to be the courageous opposition to American progressivism.
