Ten Must-Read Books

Fandom Pulse lists ten books it considers integral to understanding the cultural war:

Our culture is becoming increasingly illiterate, with most attempts at any discourse becoming shouting fruitless insults rather than attempting to build a philosophical or moral goal. A lot of this is the impact of social media and video entertainment, boiling down everything into gotcha rhetoric for dopamine hits one receives from likes on the internet.

The Christian conservative needs to arm himself with understanding and knowledge to transcend the infantility and ignoramity of the culture, and so we at Fandom Pulse have curated a list of ten books for anyone who truly wishes to fight against the social justice agenda in the current culture must read if he wants to work to make positive change in the culture.

Our list begins here:

SJWs Always Lie by Vox Day

Vox Day’s 2015 manifesto serves as a tactical handbook for those facing social justice attacks in professional and personal settings. Day, a figure who has experienced cancel culture firsthand, outlines what he calls the “SJW attack sequence” and provides specific defensive strategies for those targeted by online mobs. The book’s value lies in its practical approach to understanding how modern callout campaigns operate, the psychology behind them, and concrete steps for defending oneself against reputation destruction. His breakdown of how institutional capture occurs and his “Three Laws of SJWs” provide a framework for recognizing patterns in cultural conflicts that continue to play out across institutions.

For the purposes of better understanding the enemy and its aims, I would have included Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill as well as Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley. It’s also worth noting the way in which social justice has been transformed into “woke” and then promptly misapplied as “woke right” to attempt to discredit the most effective opponents of social justice is a rather remarkable demonstration of how Clown World utilizes the Narrative to conceals its precepts and direct its controlled opposition against its genuine opponents.

I was always suspicious of those who leaped to endorse the term “woke” to replace “SJW” and those suspicions were confirmed as soon as Clown World’s pet “conservatives” began to make use of it to attack the same nationalists and Christians that they’ve been attacking since the closeted clown and conservative gatekeeper William F. Buckley drew a hard line between conservatism and nationalism in the early 1960s.

I have never been a conservative because conservatives are unprincipled frauds whose primary purpose is to control the opposition and throw the game.

Anyhow, there has been some demand for a leatherbound edition of SJWAL, and while we won’t make it part of the Library subscription, we may make it available as a one-off if there is sufficient demand, most likely including SJWADD as well.

A Turquoise Tide

The two-party system in Britain is on the verge of collapsing.

A turquoise tide has risen. The opinion polls were not wrong. Across the country, a large section of the electorate has abandoned both Labour and the Conservatives and thrown in its lot with Nigel Farage’s Reform army.

The trend was seen most spectacularly in Cheshire, where Reform’s Sarah Pochin overturned a Labour majority of almost 15,000 to win the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. Yes, the margin of victory was a tiny six votes. Yes, Labour was not helped by the fact the contest was triggered when their former MP was forced to resign after assaulting a constituent on a drunken night out. But the big picture is that Labour has lost one of its safest seats to an upstart party less than a year after Sir Keir Starmer’s landslide election win. And the Prime Minister himself is so unpopular that Labour strategists did not dare send him to Runcorn for fear of making things even worse.

Reform’s surge is by no means limited to Cheshire. In early results, the party seized control of the Lincolnshire mayoralty, pushed Labour hard in a string of other contests in heartland areas like Doncaster and North Tyneside, and came a strong second in the West of England, which had been depicted as a straight fight between Labour and the Greens.

By the end of the day, Mr Farage’s party will have won hundreds of council seats and for the first time taken control of major councils like Staffordshire and Lincolnshire. With the Lib Dems also set to do well and the Greens poised to add to their strength in local government, the results add weight to the growing sense that the two-party system is disintegrating.

Unfortunately, Nigel Farage appears to be more gatekeeper than genuine nationalist, so it’s likely that a considerable amount of the momentum will be wasted, and there is no sign that Reform will begin the mass repatriations that Britain so desperately needs. But it is still a good sign that the British people are rejecting the siren song of Clown World and the two major parties that it controls.

Who are the Reactionaries Now?

As comically unprincipled as conservatives are, liberals are even worse. Specifically, 2.86 times worse.

Support for free trade among American liberals has more than doubled since Donald Trump won his second term as US president in November, a study has suggested. During the election campaign, Trump accused America’s trade partners of ripping off the country and vowed to impose harsh duties on them. On April 2, he made good on his threat, announcing new “reciprocal” tariffs on nearly 90 countries, saying that it would raise revenues and boost the number of jobs in the US.

After global markets reacted by dropping sharply, the president put most of the tariffs on hold for 90 days, reducing them to a baseline rate of 10%. However, the pause does not apply to China, whose exports to the US are now subject to tariffs of up to 145% amid an ongoing tit-for-tat trade war.

A poll by Polarization Research Lab, first published by the Financial Times and actively shared by social media users on Friday, has suggested that “American attitudes towards free trade have rapidly polarized” over the past several months.

In early 2024, there was some 20% support for unrestricted exports and imports among both liberals and conservatives, the study said. However, the divide on the issue between the groups, which appeared in the run up to the election, has increased dramatically since Trump’s victory, it said. According to the poll, more than 40% of leftists surveyed now say that they “strongly approve” of free trade.

Meanwhile, the number of conservatives who support free trade has decreased, albeit not as sharply, with some 13% of them still favoring it, the study suggested.

In other words, 20 percent of liberals now SUPPORT the nonsensical, societally-destructive concept of free trade solely because President Trump is against it. Conversely, only 7 percent of former free trade-supporting conservatives have changed their mind on the topic.

A pox on both their retarded houses.

The Intelligence War

There are various reports, which appear to be based on direct public statements by comedian Jim Davidson of having seen a video showing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in compromising positions, that would likely lead to the end of both Starmer’s marriage and his political career:

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom may be headed for a major scandal, as rumors intensify about explosive CCTV footage allegedly showing Keir Starmer and Lord Alli in compromising positions inside a private office. The footage reportedly captures something physical between the two, and Starmer’s wife was shown the video—prompting her to storm out and contact divorce lawyers immediately. Labour HQ is reportedly in chaos trying to figure out a way to bury the story.

If legitimate, there is virtually no accident that the video was leaked. Whether it was by the Russians in response to Starmer’s anti-Russian bellicosity, or the Europeans angry about Starmer’s lack of enthusiasm for their anti-tariff campaign, or someone else is largely irrelevant. But it will make it clear that the never-ending shadow war between intelligence agencies is heating up and there will be more secret lives of politicians being exposed.

Identifying Autism

Here’s a hint: the infant vaccines are the primary causal factor. Anyone who insists otherwise is either a) stupid or b) lying.

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a large-scale federal initiative aimed at identifying the factors behind what he called the “autism epidemic,” with findings expected by September 2025.

Speaking during a televised Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday, Kennedy – who has previously been accused by critics of promoting conspiracy theories about vaccines – said the new research effort would involve “hundreds of scientists from around the world.”

“By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic. And we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures,” Kennedy promised. He stressed the urgency of the project, citing a sharp increase in childhood autism diagnoses over recent decades, rising from “one in 10,000 when I was a kid.”

At this point, you either have to be retarded or in the pay of USAID to even use the term “conspiracy theory” anymore. How many times do these “conspiracy theories” need to be conclusively proven to have been correct all along before morons stop believing it is some sort of conclusive rebuttal?

Appealing to science as a truth metric is appealing to something that is less reliable than a coin toss. And it’s remarkable in a world that is very familiar with Sherlock Holmes, there are so few people able to utilize even the most basic logic to observe the obvious truth. If these idiots who appeal to science were in the books, every single time Holmes made a correct observation, there would be a highly annoying character – call him Popper – who would insist that the observation couldn’t be possibly true in the absence of any peer-reviewed, published paper.

It’s a bit of a coin toss whether the world would be better off without scientists or lawyers.

Infertility is the End of Democracy

A highly astute observation on how the ascent of the so-called nationalist autocracies and the demise of the so-called democracies appears to be inevitable due to the way these democracies heavily bias their policies toward the least-productive members of their societies:

As far as I can tell, the most notable political science results of the 21st century is democracy cannot work well with low fertility rates. All converge on prioritizing retirees over workers and immigrants over citizens escalating social transfers beyond sustainability. I think this means we should try to understand non-democratic regimes better since they will represent the majority of global political power in the future.

It seems to me that the great graying and mass immigration simply are the end of democracies as we understood them. Just as failure to manage an economy and international trade were the end of Soviet Communism as we understood it. Low-fertility autocracies seems to have little trouble with reindustrializing or waging war when needed. These used to be 20th century strengths of high-fertility democracy!

This is simply another way that enfranchising and educating women, and encouraging the 30 percent of young women who historically married and had children to enter the work force, is both logically and observably incompatible with societal survival. It’s a viable path for a limited time, and it may even be considered a highly desirable path by many, but the now-observable fact is that viability comes with a built-in time limit which is remarkably consistent with the recorded lifespans of many historical societies.

With the benefit of hindsight, we can see the fundamental flaws in the underlying assumptions of failed past ideologies.

  • Communism: the idea that production will take place without a profit incentive.
  • Libertarianism: the idea that consent is a valid or viable basis for morality and legality.
  • Democracy: the idea that the collective will of the people exists in any meaningful sense or is relevant to the ordering and sustainability of society in any way.
  • Representative Democracy: the idea that an elected elite will meaningfully represent the wishes of the people
  • Constitutionalism: the idea that words on a piece of paper, interpreted by a political elite, will preserve the intentions of the society’s founders.
  • Elefthemporism: the idea that you can replace your native people with foreigners and buy the weapons required by your armed forces from your enemies.
  • Neoliberalism: the idea that the various idiosyncracies of the post-WWII order are of immutable significance for future orders.
  • Conservatism: the idea that yesterday’s status quo is the high point of human existence and any departure from it in any direction is dangerous and wrong.

Personally, I think the reason the “democracies” are failing is because they are fake, evil, and literally gay, but it is without question true that a societal lack of fertility and the inevitable evils that result from it will eventually render even the ideal Platonic form of liberal, constitutional representative democracy non-functional.

Forget the Third Term

Three terms wouldn’t be enough. The God-Emperor has 873 more terms to go. 3,495 more years!

Bookmakers view US President Donald Trump as one of the top picks to win the 2028 election, despite the two-term constitutional limit, Newsweek has reported, citing the latest betting data. According to an article published on Saturday, British betting company William Hill has listed Trump as a favorite to win the next presidential race with 5/1 odds, giving him a 16.7% chance of securing what would be his third term in office.

Vance has done very well as Vice-President so far, but he’s not the right man for the top job. Donald Trump Jr. would be a braver and much better choice for holding down the fort until Barron is old enough to ascend the Cherry Blossom Throne.

Second Term Same as the First?

The rhetoric has certainly improved. But President Trump hasn’t convinced everyone that he actually means business, as one new policy after another has dissipated before actually achieving any significant results. Simplicius suspects this is one reason the absurd ceasefire offer, which would appear to be an obvious non-starter, was presented to Russia:

The ceasefire agreement comes just a day after Ukraine launched the largest drone attack on Moscow of the entire war, with an estimated 400-500 drones, almost all of which were shot down, the remainder hitting civilian apartment blocks.

It appears to have been made for no better reason than scoring much-needed political points for Trump, who now wallows in a post-euphoric doldrums phase of his floundering second term, when virtually every one of his campaign promises has faltered or flopped. No Epstein, JFK, or 9/11 lists, no Mexican wall, no Fort Knox audit or UFO disclosure, no mass deportations, with ICE raids rumored to have halted, no promised US troop withdrawals from Syria, Europe, or elsewhere. Every other boastful attempt to capture Greenland, Canada, Panama, and everything in between has likewise fallen flat on its face, with countries no longer fearing nor taking the US seriously.

Desperate for a razzle-dazzle to slap points on the scoreboard, Trump’s team tipped this rushed ‘ceasefire’ deal for being just the trick. Except, it’s about the most nonsensically absurd ceasefire attempt imaginable, a veritable charade by another name.

  • It comes a day after Ukraine’s massive drone provocation, meant specifically to spoil the ceasefire by making Russia look like the bad guy, after Russia rightfully rejects the deal.
  • It comes in the midst of one of the largest frontline collapses of the war, as Ukrainian troops are being battered, decimated, and driven out of Kursk.
  • It comes with zero ‘concessions’ or offers to Russia itself, but huge reward to Ukraine in the form of the reactivation of all weapons shipments, aid, and intelligence sharing.
  • It comes when Ukraine still controls some Kursk territory, which is an obvious common sense non-starter for Russia.

I wouldn’t be quite so dismissive of the God-Emperor 2.0’s remarkable achievements in his first two months in office. But it is readily apparent that Trump needs to talk less and deliver more or he’s going to start losing at least some of the goodwill and popular support that he has amassed as a result of his aggressive executive orders.

I have no idea why he agreed to this ceasefire proposal or why he’s shown hesitation on cutting all support for Ukraine and exiting NATO. Russia is going to win the war even if the entire EU, UK, and the USA formally declare war and open direct hostilities tomorrow. Military power is all about who can get there first with the most, and no one is going to defeat the Russian military its own backyard on the basis of logistics alone. If this were a war for Mexico, or even Canada, the equation would be different, but given the geographic location of Ukraine, the inevitable outcome is not even potentially in doubt.

And certainly, I doubt that threats of adding a few more sanctions to the current 21 thousand or so already in place are going to impress or intimidate the Russians into doing anything they don’t see as being to their advantage.

Donald Trump threatened ‘devastating’ trade and economic consequences on Russia if President Vladimir Putin doesn’t agree to a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine. Trump issued the threat – which included a considerable hedge – while discussing administration efforts to bring an end to Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine, which Trump again said could lead to World War III.

Farage’s Day is Done

Niles Farage is a British hero. What he accomplished with Brexit surpassed anything that Winston Churchill ever achieved. But he has revealed his fundamental limitations and ruled himself out as an effective future leader of Britain due to his inability to understand the absolute necessity of multigenerational repatriations for national restoration:

Nigel Farage today ruled out allowing exiled MP Rupert Lowe back into Reform UK after he made yet another attack on the party leadership. The party leader said there was ‘no way back’ for Mr Lowe after he accused senior figures of trying to ‘silence him’ when he spoke out about grooming gangs. The Great Yarmouth MP was suspended last Friday over allegations of bullying and of verbally threatening party chairman Zia Yusuf – the latter is the subject of a police probe.

Mr Lowe denies any wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a ‘witch hunt’ after he dared to criticise Mr Farage’s leadership of the party. This morning he revealed he refused to delete a demand that the families of Asian grooming gang members be deported with them if they were ‘complicit’ in their crimes against teenage girls, from a speech he made in Essex in February. And he doubled down on his position, suggesting it was acceptable to deport ‘entire communities’ to Pakistan, saying anyone who failed to act ‘is as guilty as the rapists themselves’.

Mr Farage today accused Mr Lowe of pandering to Elon Musk, the Trump ally who suggested he lead Reform instead of Mr Farage in January. The party leader admitted he asked the then Reform MP not to talk about ‘repatriation’ and ‘mass deportations’, branding it ‘a very grave, dark and dangerous use of language.’

Like so many other political and public figures, Farage doesn’t understand that the post-WWII era is over. Holocaustianity is dead. So is multiculturalism and the moronic idea of “the melting pot”. The extreme concepts of Clown World of the last sixty years are the historical aberration, and the pendulum has barely even begun to swing back.

This isn’t to say he won’t ever become Prime Minister. It’s possible, and he would certainly be preferable to anyone in the Tory or Labour Parties. But he can’t be what Britain needs, and it appears he’s actively opposing the men who are.

The Actual Autocratic Antidemocracy

The absurd hypocrisy of the unelected European Commissioners decrying “autocratic” elected leaders like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Xinping when they are actively overturning elections and openly denying the will of the people is highlighted by their subversion of democracy in Romania:

Romanian presidential hopeful Calin Georgescu has branded the EU a “dictatorship” and stated that his country is “under tyranny” in response to the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) in Bucharest shooting down his candidacy for the upcoming election re-run.

The BEC dismissed Georgescu’s bid late on Sunday, having received more than 1,000 challenges against him, largely revolving around his allegedly “anti-democratic” and “extremist” stance. According to the ruling published on Sunday evening, Georgescu had “failed to comply with the rules of the electoral procedure, violating the very obligation… to defend democracy.”

The presidential hopeful, who was a clear favorite in the upcoming election and was polling between 40% and 45%, strongly condemned the decision.

“A direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide! I have one message left! If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall! This is just the beginning. It’s that simple! Europe is now a dictatorship; Romania is under tyranny!” Georgescu wrote on X.

This is more of that satanic inversion that permeates Clown World with its sulfuric stench. Orwell certainly had their number, as they define war as peace, black as white, and autocracy as democracy. The EU is the last current redoubt of The Empire That Never Ended, and the European nations will not be free until the European Union is shattered and its wicked “leaders” are driven from power and influence.

Fortunately, the Russians are waging open war on it, with the support of China and the new pro-American government in Washington.
