Population and Automation
On the one hand, people are panicking about falling birth rates in Europe and on the other hand it seems very clear that automation is going to be destroying millions of jobs. Don’t these two factors wash out in the … Continue reading
What Trump Offers Conservatives
In light of the current Milo contretemps I decided to finally get around to a sequel to this post. There I pointed out what Trump gives progressives (short answer – a reason to live and escape from responsibility). The answer … Continue reading
In Case Anyone was Wondering Whether Feminism is Dead
It’s definitely dead. When a movement reaches the point that it becomes fodder for fashion (ugliness so terrible that it has to be changed every few months). Then there’s no going back. My favorite line: “reaching women who might not … Continue reading
When Jerks Are Right
She may come from a xenophobic political tradition and be a rabble rousing populist on Putin’s payroll, but damn, Marine Le Pen gets it done. What a contrast to the spineless dithering Swedish “feminist government” representatives who were eager to … Continue reading

My Life as an Illegal Alien, pt 1
Twice in my long stay in Poland my residence was not….. entirely….. legal. The first time was in the early 1990’s. It was my third visit and first after the entry visa requirement for Americans had been lifted and I … Continue reading
Muslim Ban
On the one hand, Muslim Ban is a great political slogan. It isn’t accurate and doesn’t make logical sense since the EO in question was not remotely an actual ban on Muslims in general entering the US. But that doesn’t … Continue reading
