“Storm X, they can’t stop us all”
By NZB3
So here’s clear meme signal that our mainstream culture needle is set to Slave. The initial “Storm Area 51, they can’t stop us all” impulse has morphed in the last few days to four other iterations that I’ve been able to easily find. And that’s just New Zealand! What the hell does it all mean? […]

Honour Culture Dispute Resolution
By NZB3
You know my secret hack for thinking about personality, history, and culture. If you have not been reading along then here is a quick reminder before we get to the story of the Samoan toilet fight… Honour Culture: Perceive problems as personal and solve them personally. Hands on. Warrior culture. Constant concern for their reputation […]

Oh No, Anarchists!
By NZB3
Fairly on the mark, although the esteemed cartoonist has a different bent on property relations. How can a true anarchist insist that others abolish property per se? You try it your way, let others run society their way, and we’ll see who pisses off Elon Musk first.* — * Existential Comics has been picking fights […]

Agree With Us Or You’re White
By NZB3
This racist statement is made without irony. Here a premise, ‘racism exists’, is defined not by the nature of what it is but by the political identity of those involved. Does not repair to evidence, does not seek to convince or persuade. Does not appeal to the reader’s intellect. It sets up race-based in/out […]

The Situated Nature of Social Reality
By NZB3
Here an institution (eg ‘apartheid’, eg ‘racism’, eg ‘sexism’) is defined by not by the nature of what it is but by the political identity of those involved. To those who of us with post-Enlightenment minds this picture exposes a simple nonsense. How can the woman in this picture be against ‘sexism’ when she’s privileging […]

Brown Razzle Dazzle
By NZB3
Great cutting through the ephemera to the root core here by VJM. He helps us recognise that the contemporary ‘Brown Communism’ is simply Marxist Communism by another name… “Brown Communism is a very similar memeplex. The difference is that, instead of appealing to the Western working class, it appeals to non-whites as a quasi-racial bloc.” […]

Cricket Participation
By NZB3
Everyone gets a participation certificate in the r-selected hegemony. Especially if the politicians get to steal a little glory. “Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the Black Caps deserve a “heroes’ welcome” home after a “remarkable” World Cup final in London overnight.”- ‘Traumatised’ PM wants heroes’ welcome for NZ cricketers; RNZ In the K-selected cultures […]

Conspicuously Compassionate
By NZB3
Victimhood Culture’s means of production, their identity, is to be conspicuously compassionate. But they don’t pay for it. That’s where Dignity Culture comes in. When DC runs out of money because VC sucks it dry then we have revolution or else civilisational collapse.

The Forrester Gallery, Oamaru
By NZB3
Oamaru’s art gallary, The Forrester Gallery, is yet another of New Zealand’s cultural sites that has been mothballed recently. I wont try to figure out what’s going on now but will collect a few newsclippings while they’re still online. “The Forrester Gallery is housed in a spectacular neo-classical building originally constructed in 1884 for the […]

No Culture: The Return of the Primitive
By NZB3
Dan McGlashan (writes for VJM, thus Anarkiwi) makes sage pronouncements from time to time. Yesterday, this: “One man’s ferality is another man’s natural vigour.” I don’t accept that wholesome vigour is the same as feral urges, that it’s just a matter of one or another man’s point of view. But how do we tell one […]
