The town was not real. The people were not real. The arguments were not real. And yet they walked, and they talked, and they filled the air with the sound of living. They had built it well. At first, there was nothing but silence. Then came the voices. Carefully arranged, meticulously deployed, sock puppets stepping…

Post-Woke
Recent revelations have illuminated a disconcerting reality: the narratives that have long underpinned the modern left are not the organic manifestations of grassroots movements, but rather, the carefully constructed illusions of a well-oiled propaganda infrastructure funded by billions of tax dollars, effectively making the public pay for smoke and mirrors. Everything has been a lie….
An End To Astroturf
People keep talking about “the good old days”—that magical time when every institution was supposedly aboveboard, every politician was a man of the people, and the news was a shining beacon of truth hand-delivered by a haloed anchorman. As if Walter Cronkite was broadcasting straight from the right hand of God, free from anything resembling…
Why C-Suite Wages Are So High
It is a strange thing that in an age of unprecedented prosperity, resentment against those who oversee it has never been greater. The corporate executive, particularly the CEO, is today a creature of suspicion—accused of incompetence, greed, and worst of all, unjustified wealth. It is a familiar charge, made with increasing fervor by those who…
CEOs are Cheap
They found him standing by the glass doors before dawn, the thin hue of the city’s lights behind him. He was a tall man, shoulders bent by relentless hours. The tie around his neck might as well have been a tourniquet. Across the hotel lobby, a few bleary-eyed travelers caught a glimpse of his figure…
Leftism is Infantalism
A lot of leftism these days feels like someone just slapped a political label onto a guy who never learned how to do his own laundry? I mean, remember when you were a kid—like a teenager, say—and you’d get all furious at the world because you, I don’t know, got a bad haircut or couldn’t…
Delay Deny Defend
Isn’t it amazing how insurance companies have turned into the schoolyard bullies of the adult world? Yeah, that’s right, the folks who are supposed to “share your risk” and “have your back” are now the ones knocking your lunch tray onto the floor. Except it’s not a milk carton and a PB&J they’re dropping; it’s…
Achieving Super Gender
In coping with modern existence, many young adults find themselves ensnared by doubt, confusion, and a pervasive sense of aimlessness. The transition into adulthood, once a heralded journey of self-discovery and accomplishment, has become fraught with uncertainty. Yet, there lies a path that not only dispels this fog of despondency but also instills confidence, purpose,…
Robot Slaves
History has a way of repeating itself, especially when we refuse to learn from it. Take the grand idea of using slaves for cheap labor. Ah yes, humanity’s oldest bad habit. We think, “Free labor? Sign me up! What could possibly go wrong?” Well, sit back and let me tell you—a lot. Sure, you can…
Digital Potemkin Villages
There is something almost charming about the audacity of illusion. Throughout history, we’ve seen leaders, regimes, and movements craft entire realities out of thin air to bolster their strength or conceal their weaknesses. In the modern age, however, this art of illusion has reached unprecedented sophistication. The Democrats, with their unerring knack for performative politics,…
Artificial Foods
Let’s talk about food. Not the romanticized, farm-to-table idealism or the soul-soothing street food of a back alley in Bangkok, but the cold, processed reality of what lines the shelves of American grocery stores. The fluorescent-lit aisles are a neon jungle of bright colors, bold fonts, and promises of “great taste!”—a cacophony of marketing so…
Island restaurants
Island restaurants are absurd. There’s no other way to put it. You land in paradise, surrounded by shimmering water teeming with life, and what do they serve you? Alaskan king crab, farmed salmon that tastes like wet cardboard, and shrimp from Thailand—a globalized culinary catastrophe brought to you by frozen cargo. Somehow, they think that…
