The new Europe

By now, most people have realized that the EU is a colossal failure. We sit and wait for the euro to crash, and for the EU to land in yet another economic crisis that is currently spreading. And this time it will be more serious, with electricity shortages and perhaps even rationing of food and …   →

Feminist capitalism

We can state the following, since women entered the labour market, wages have decreased. Of course, it’s all about supply and demand; the more people competing for jobs, the more you can squeeze wages, at least initially. In the past, a middle class man could support a whole family, that is no longer possible, now …   →

In the dark wake of progressivism

In a society that previously celebrated progressivism and radicalism, it is now difficult to be radical. It hardly works in politics where there is some kind of left-wing conformism, the same in philosophy and social science, where new ideas are forced to pass through a filter of various climate and woke ideologies. Dissenting thoughts are …   →

The legislator, the people and the nation

What constitutes a nation? Is it its people, culture, habits and customs or its legal framework – or all of it? On whose authority did the ancient legislators act, Lycurgus, Solon or the Fathers of the American Constitution? There was obviously already a people seeking their services, but perhaps not united or unified? The Constitution …   →

Hidden power, decay and upheaval

Am I the only one who feels that politics is a farce, with clowns like Trudeau, Macron, Zelinsky and the mummy Biden? And in the EU we have Ursula von der Leyen whose political career is lined with failures and corruption. It’s a mockery of the intelligence of the electorate. One wonders how many birdbrains …   →

Is the woke left an intolerant, humourless and puritanical Free Church movement?

It is often said that Christianity’s great contribution to the development of humanity was its view of man. Every human being was equal before God’s judgment, that we thus had the same essence and value before eternity. Good deeds in the course of one’s life could of course contribute to a higher value before St. …   →

What does the far right want?

We are not talking about the totalitarian ideologies of the early 20th century, but about the far right that is around us today. What do they really want? And how do their views differ from those of ordinary people? Perhaps they are inspired by the way we lived a few decades ago, when things were …   →

The search for the fourth political direction

In short, the political confrontations of the 20th century were about three different ideologies, communism, fascism and liberalism. After the Second World War, fascism lost, and in 1991, communism was also wiped off the map after the fall of the Soviet Union. What remained was Western liberalism as the sole victor, the battle was settled, …   →

Entrepreneurs, despots and dark elves

I’ll start by mentioning Curtis Yarvin’s latest article, which was not very well received in the corner of the internet where he and many other right-wing intellectuals have sought refuge from the contemporary shitstorms. Yarvin draws a parallel with the world of Tolkien, where the ruling elite are described as elves and ordinary people as …   →

Political recalibration

For a long time we have been stomping at a political crossroads with only two exits, right or left. Some people know where they want to go, they are aware of the two different visions of society. But the question is, is it not time to adjust our political compass? The root of the right/left …   →

The right of abortion, a left or right position?

Abortion is constantly brought up as a talking point in debates, especially in election years. And often the right positions itself against, and the left for. In progressive European countries the issue is rather lukewarm, with many parties advocating the right of abortion; in other countries, the issue is debated more vociferously. In concrete terms, …   →
