One Soul at a Time

One Soul at a Time

The Didact writes on how taking the red pill has saved souls and lives [http://didactsreach.blogspot.com/2017/07/saving-souls.html], and may yet save civilization. > Perhaps the most severe consequence of “taking the red pill”, or “waking up”, or whatever you prefer to call it, is that you usually undergoes a deep personal crisis in which just about every core belief that you have ever held comes into question. I’ve written about this before; as with everything else in life, choices have conse…

Guilty Until Proven Innocent

Guilty Until Proven Innocent

I first heard about this despicable practice when the author Dean Koontz detailed it in Dark Rivers of the Heart. Peter Grant on asset forfeiture [https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2017/07/this-isnt-just-injustice-its-moral.html] : > The whole problem with civil asset forfeiture is that it requires the citizen to prove a negative – i.e. to prove that the asset(s) in question are not the result of criminal activity.  Trouble is, in courts of law, the normal standard is that the prosecutio…

Feel free to take a look at whatStefan Molyneux [https://youtu.be/wohYNCD4u-E], and Scott Adams [https://www.periscope.tv/ScottAdamsSays/1mnGemynWNbGX?], among others have had to say. What I want to talk about is something else. Stefan alludes to it. It’s something I’ve seen when looking at the latest Colbert episodes to gauge the mood and talking points (dishonest, one-sided, hypocriti…

Was it Right?

Was it Right?

Vox Day commented on a recent Darkstream [https://www.periscope.tv/voxday/1yoJMpRqZvYGQ?] that one should always be willing to use the uncivilized tactics of a leftist or SJW against them. This is of course straight out of game theory – tit for tat. Something that I’ve discussed in the past fits into the Christian version of the golden rule [https://thelastredoubt.com/2017/05/digging-into-golden-rule.html], that you can take how other people treat you as a sign of what they consider acceptable b…
