In speaking truth to tyranny, it is necessary to expose both the immorality and historical record of socialism, its most widely recognized cause.
Despite its destructive consequences, the popularity of socialism persists, and this does not bode well for those who adopt socialism. As Senegal’s Magatte Wade illustrates, Africa’s poverty and tyranny are a direct consequence of “the deadly ideology of socialism,” an ideology also being practiced in Canada.
In fact, Canada’s recent political history provides a testimony to the tyranny caused by socialism, a tyranny not so unlike that which has been experienced in Africa.
The Freedom Convoy in 2022 provided both a literal and symbolic example of just how far from a free democracy Canada had drifted. Peacefully organized to oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates along with all COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, the Canadian government responded to the convoy and other protestors with force.Continue reading »
Comments Off on 877 – Trump’s political play—for the NPCs of politics
Sep112024
The term ‘Non Player Character’ (NPC) is widely understood to refer to those characters in a video game who are not controlled by a player, but are pre-programmed automated features of the game. In the world of politics, NPCs are voters who automatically follow the herd, without considering the fundamental principles or issues behind a given election in which they are voting. In other words, most voters.
Also referred to as ‘low information voters,’ NPCs have correctly come to be seen by many as a significant cause of America’s radical drift to the Left. But the problem is not the fact that NPCs exist and participate in the electoral process; it is that they tend to vote Left by default.
For those on the Right, it is tempting to want to correct the voting ‘process’ in the hopes that this will halt or reverse the slide into tyranny. To be sure, having an honest voting process is a positive and necessary objective, but it must never be forgotten that whether we get ‘good’ government or whether we get ‘bad’ government depends on the people and parties we elect.
Complicating matters is the fact that electoral politics by its nature compels the voter to vote for a ‘person,’ not necessarily for an idea, ideology, or policy. That’s why during political campaigns, politicians tend to attack the messengers rather than the messages. For the NPCs in the political herd, politics is thus reduced to a cult of personalities devoid of issues or substance. Continue reading »
Comments Off on 875 – Elect trick: The DNC, Kennedy, and Trump
Aug282024
While the Democratic National Convention was being hailed as an ‘electric’ event by Democrats, the real ‘elect trick’ was being pulled off by Robert F Kennedy Jr and Donald Trump. With Kennedy’s announcement that he would be endorsing Donald Trump in the November elections, whatever wind had gathered behind the Democratic sails was instantly dissipated.
“The DNC manufactured a surge of popularity for Harris based on nothing,” Kennedy announced on August 26. “Who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?”
While Harris may not have any policies, she and the Democratic Party do nevertheless pursue an ideology based on the politics of envy.
“We fight for equality but we also need to fight for equity because not everybody starts out at the same place” proclaimed Kamala Harris. “You understand some people need more.”Continue reading »
Comments Off on 874 – The politics of envy—the pro-socialist mentality
Aug212024
It is a sad fact that the vast majority of people have no idea what either socialism or capitalism actually are. However despite this shortcoming, most have some vague association regarding the moral justification for each.
Generally, most associate socialism with an altruistic philosophy of caring for others, and capitalism with selfishness, greed, and exploitation of others. Both of these viewpoints are false, and both emanate from the ideology of the Left.
Just as most are unaware of the nature of either socialism or capitalism, they also are unaware of the person who was primarily responsible for creating their false conceptions of each: Karl Marx.
Karl Marx was a loser in regard to every aspect of what it means to be human. In his image, he created the religion of Marxism. “It’s crucial to see Marxism as a religious architecture, not an economic theory,” warns Professor James Lindsay. And as reported by TIKhistory, “Karl Marx was brought up in mainstream religion instilling him with an altruistic morality.” Continue reading »
Comments Off on 862 – SOCIALISNT—The ugly truth about socialism
May292024
Socialism is promoted by most of its supporters as a compassionate ‘redistribution’ of wealth, when in fact socialism isn’t compassionate at all. The truly remarkable thing about socialism is that it has a 100% failure rate when it comes to improving the lives of those living under socialism. Yet its popularity persists.
That’s because socialism is a pyramid scheme that appears to benefit the first generation of people who adopt it – at the cost of future generations who receive no benefits but must pay all the costs. Ours is that future generation.
For example, the photo accompanying this post illustrates just one instance of how socialism looks in London Ontario in 2024. Drug addicted and homeless people clutter the streets everywhere. Scenes like this were unthinkable only a few years ago.
The Canadian Press recently reported on the results of a poll in which one third of Canadians approve of Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) for homeless people. That so many people would approve of killing the homeless is tragic evidence of how deeply the Left’s death cult has taken root. And as we have been learning, MAID is far from being a guarantee of painless death: As observed by Kelsi Sheren in her conversation with Jordan Peterson: “MAID is a terrifying way to die.”
Similarly, socialism is a terrifying way for societies and cultures to die. As an ideological variant of the Left, the ugly truth about socialism is that it is simply another death cult. History has repeatedly demonstrated this and still, in light of this knowledge and experience, millions around the world continue to proudly call themselves socialists.
The antidote to socialism is capitalism, but most fear to acknowledge this because capitalism is Just Right.

Comments Off on 852 – Primacy—consciousness or existence?
Mar202024
“In politics, perception is reality, the truth doesn’t matter.”
Given the broad acceptance of this view of politics, it should not be surprising that so many good people see politics as an evil. They thus avoid getting involved in a process that affects everyone’s life whether they are interested in politics or not.
But this viewpoint is itself a form of political propaganda because in reality the truth does indeed matter in politics, so much so that political interests which are not aligned with truth go to such great lengths to hide and/or misrepresent the truth. Those political views are broadly identified as coming from the Left, which represents many variants of collectivism.
For those on the Right (which represents individualism, freedom, and capitalism), the current state of politics has become so irrational and beyond understanding that it is almost impossible to accept that the tyranny we are experiencing is real. “Everything is upside down or totally backwards,” has become a familiar refrain expressing this frustration and disbelief.
To understand the madness of the political Left, it is necessary to know how those on the Left think. One of the most difficult concepts to grasp is that those on the Left are strictly ideological, not philosophical. Ideology originates strictly in the mind, unconcerned with the facts of reality. A working philosophy on the other hand, is disciplined by the facts of reality.
In philosophy, these two opposing ways of thinking are contrasted as the ‘primacy of consciousness’ (in which reality is not perceived by consciousness but is created by consciousness) and the ‘primacy of existence’ (in which reality exists irrespective of anyone’s consciousness).
In politics, it is the Left that relies on ideology, while the Right relies on philosophical principles.
Consequently, this conflict between Left and Right manifests itself in a battle of definitions and concepts, ranging from the definition of freedom to the definition of democracy. While those on the Left are obsessed with “defending democracy,” many on the Right insist that freedom is the primary value to be defended.
While freedom is indeed the primary value, the surprising truth is that freedom and democracy go hand-in-hand.
Unfortunately, even when the truth is told, most people cannot recognize it or distinguish it from all of the false perceptions about politics. To be understood in a light that is Just Right, truth must be discerned; it requires a process of thought and discipline that too few understand: philosophy.

Comments Off on 849 – Applied philosophy—the practicality of freedom
Feb282024
In their struggle against tyranny, many dismiss ‘philosophy’ while calling for ‘practical’ solutions to a condition that is wholly the consequence of ideas – and ideology. Given that the predominant zeitgeist of today’s culture is primarily on the Left, it should not be surprising that the field of philosophy has been largely discredited and dismissed as a failed subjective approach to the problems and challenges of life. However, this is a tragic error.
Reality dictates that one cannot possibly separate the philosophical from the practical without encountering a contradiction. If the ‘theory’ does not match the ‘practice’ then the ‘theory’ is no longer valid and cannot be regarded as such. The proper response is not to dismiss all ‘theory’ out of hand, but to formulate a theory that does indeed match the practice.
In the fields of ethics and politics, ‘theory’ is often equated with ‘philosophy’ or ‘ideology.’ Each of these terms is properly associated with modes of thinking that lead to certain intended outcomes or results.
So why do so many applied ‘theories’ fail to result in their intended outcomes? For a simple reason: the ‘theories’ are based on a mode of thinking philosophically referred to as the “primacy of consciousness” which stands in direct opposition to the “primacy of existence.” Continue reading »
