Libertarian Fascism
By Gekko
Medium has published an article that takes a swipe at ‘libertarianism’, presumably lest we start thinking for ourselves that individualism and freedom are good, rather than running into the loving arms of Big Brother to comfort us when the big nasty world invades our safe space. The article is worth a look not only because […]

Peak Phosphorus
By NZB3
In these days of mainstream Slave Culture certain Core Beliefs about the world are popular. The SC’s identity depends on being cognitively enmeshed in these fallacies but you don’t have to be!

1880s: Prohibition Creates Substitution Effect
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
We can be fairly confident that all these concentrate producers, like Masons, knew they were profiting from prohibition.

By Gekko
Jacinda Ardern, NZ PM, international superstar and torch-bearer of kindness and compassion, appears to be enjoying a free ride politically on the back of her sex.

Why Alt-Centrism is Necessarily A Spiritual Movement
By VJM
Central to alt-centrist philosophy is that, although it’s possible to understand why people support the other political positions, all those positions are fundamentally misguided by ignorance of the true nature of reality. Because the Establishment positions, the alt-left and the alt-right are all materialist, alt-centrism must distinguish itself from materialism. As this essay will explain, […]

He thinks that unless one is trained and spends all one’s time as one’s main business on the art or science in question then the work is sub-standard and brings everybody down. […]

r vs K Selection Theory: In Brief
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
In brief…if you look at the human world in terms of two extremes of how we care for our young we get K-selected and r-selected. I could write a great deal about this but here’s a quick run-down for now. As I keep using these terms on this page I’d better establish what I mean! […]
