The Other One Drop Rule

January 10, 2018
Culture/History

Seeing as historical racism and historical guilt/corruption of blood are apparently all the rage of discussion nowadays, I feel it is time once again to discuss the complexities of historical racism and reveal that things were never quite as simple as they’re assumed to be. A smug talking point that Europeans will never cease to

The Realness Of Hate Hoaxes

December 26, 2017
Culture

So if you’ve been paying attention to the news recently, you’ll remember that last month the air force academy recently had a hoax incident in which a black cadet forged racist graffiti that was allegedly threatening him, only for it to be revealed that he himself had painted said racist graffiti. Surprisingly, Lieutenant General Silveria (the

Why The Fuss Over Makeapp?

November 23, 2017
Culture

If you follow the memeosphere, the hot trending topics, you’ve probably heard about a little app called, er, MakeApp. It’s a cellphone app designed by Russian Ashot Gabrelyanov that purports to be able to use a filter on a woman’s photograph to remove the makeup and reveal her au naturalle skin. It can also add

Gun Control Wouldn’t Work In America

November 17, 2017
Culture/Politics

Another spat of mass shootings, and the same old arguments for and against gun control have sprung up like clockwork. Since we all know this isn’t really going to affect anything, allow me to give my two cents on this issue: Gun control would never work in America (and I specify strictly WITHIN the United

Why Are We Angry?

November 11, 2017
Culture

The arbiters of our culture at Old Media outlets such as the Washington Post and the New York Times, and the “young and hip” people who write exactly like the Old Media outlets (Huffington Post, Salon, etc) have been in something of a conniption for the past year and a half. Namely, they’ve been wondering

An Outstanding Parable For Masculinity

November 2, 2017
Culture

Today’s post is about a video game. Don’t close the window, I have a serious point in all of this! I freely admit that as a hobby, games are not in the least constructive, and correspondingly, as I’ve grown up, have bills to pay and dedicate most of my free time to my creative endeavors,

America Lost The Cold War

October 30, 2017
Politics/World

Upon reading the title of this article, you were likely confused, if not gobsmacked by the idea. “‘America lost the Cold War?!’ Absurd!” I can hear you saying. And indeed, the very thought of it seems pretty absurd–after all, The USA is still around, and the Soviet Union has long since collapsed. That should summarily

Trump, IQ Tests, and Me

October 20, 2017
Culture/History

In honor of last week’s Trump/Tillerson IQ Test kerfuffle, I decided to do a very politically relevant anthropology article. Well, even more politically relevant than the other times I talk anthropology, a topic that is literally  the most important thing that nobody is talking about. So a few days ago, the president got into a bit

More People Need A Punch In The Head

September 30, 2017
Culture

It is often complained about that civil society just isn’t very civil anymore. And those who argue certainly have a very good point. A cursory glance around the world at the moment would show a smattering of politically based riots and terrorism going on at any given time. Much more prevalent (albeit not as singularly

Book Review: “Free Speech Isn’t Free”

So the time has come for me to review a book written by my boss (my tertiary boss to be more specific. I work three jobs, so you know I’m amongst the societal elite). More specifically, it is Roosh V’s most recent book Free Speech Isn’t Free, the first of his books to be written

Mead, Brannon, and Sexual Misery

September 1, 2017
Culture/History

Last week we delved into Coming of Age in Samoa, and now we’ll deal with its repercussions. As a casual glance around would inform you, much of the discussion of masculinity that goes on in this day and age is roughly “why don’t we just…change it? After all, there’s nothing inherent about it, it’s all just

Margaret Mead’s Samoan Skullduggery

Let’s discuss a rich and exotic culture, the beautiful islands of the South Seas. It is long past time to go deeply in-depth into the theories of one Margaret Mead–and of course, we’ll discuss how they were wrong, and why people just keep on believing in them anyway. We will also discuss how Mead’s true believers

The Alt-Right Done Goofed

August 20, 2017
Politics

So the “Unite the Right” rally has come and gone…and now I can no longer say that “…the alt-right, for all of its many flaws, has never killed or committed bodily harm upon somebody.” In looking at the driver of the car that ran down and killed that woman, it turns out that James Fields

“Fifty Shades Of Adolf” By Jakobi Kid

August 11, 2017

A bit of a confession to make, first of all. I, of course, love what I do in the reactosphere, and want to contribute in some way to the rebirth of strong and masculine men throughout the world as well as the rebirth of something resembling normalcy in my lifetime, but a not-inconsiderable part of

Onward Transgender Soldiers!

August 4, 2017

As you’ve probably noticed, over the last week or so, there has been a furious debate in American politics and culture over President Trump’s decision to ban transgender soldiers from serving in the United States military. The left, which at one vague point in the past professed to be anti-war, was of course in favor

The Rise of Trump From An “Elite” Perspective

July 27, 2017
Culture/History/Politics

As we are well into the first year of the Trump administration, and leftists are still walking around in a dim haze of incredulity, I’d like to reflect a little on why the man was elected. As some of you have probably inferred from the title, I am (on paper) a “coastal elitist.” I was

Mother’s Little Helper?

July 21, 2017
Culture/History

A major part of the progressive mindset is the notion of a linear path of history (one might call it a “progression”). This is essentially the belief that all things today are better than all things in the past, and all things in the future will be better than all things today. Since things today

A Confederacy of Dunces by JK Toole

A Confederacy of Dunces. Undoubtedly, this is a novel that most of the people reading this article have heard of, whether by hearing it described vaguely as a contender for the Great American Novel, hearing it spoken of in hushed tones due to the alleged “curse” on the property that has caused every attempt at

What Is Our End Game?

July 11, 2017
Philosophy/Politics

We’ve made the big time, folks! And by “we,” I don’t mean “me,” specifically, but rather the reactosphere as a nebulous organization has made the big time! The New York Times, the Washington Post, and other esteemed publications are talking about the alt-right, the manosphere, neoreaction, paleoconservatism, and all of the various permutations of intellectual

“Re-Imagined Masculinity” is Always Doomed to Fail

June 30, 2017
Culture

A common trope one hears in the midst of the “official” discussions on masculinity (ie: stuff that you’d never find within a mile radius of a website such as this one) is the idea that “toxic masculinity” can be solved by “reimagining masculinity.” To elaborate, this is the idea that the traditional “social construct” of

The Ultimate Rebuttal to Feminism?

Last month, famous feminist Youtuber Laci Green caused something of an outrage amongst her fanbase when she began associating with fellow internet personality Chris Ray Gun.

Is Cultural Marxism A Conspiracy Theory?

June 16, 2017
Culture/Politics

A common allusion that you will see made on various right-leaning political websites (and some that have gone far beyond leaning to the right) is an allusion being made to the concept of “Cultural Marxism.” It’s certainly a term that I have used in the past, including the series of articles that ultimately started my

Bullying Is Good For You Part II: So You Want To Be Resilient

June 8, 2017
Culture

In my last article, I discussed the need for men to occasionally be humbled, and conversely, the need for men to be resilient in defeat and learn from their mistakes, to avoid making them again. This made me ask another question: how does one become resilient? The concept of emotional resiliency is essentially the capability to

Hey Snowflake, Bullying Is Good For You

May 31, 2017
Politics

With the cultural zeitgeist being what it is, and the young people being increasingly more sensitive and hysterical to whatever minor conflict enters their lives, I felt it would be best to discuss a hard lesson that I learned from the better part of two decades in the public school system. Before I can discuss

War Before Civilization

Culture

Oh boy, Larsen’s doing another anthropology related post! With the recent…unpleasantness in Manchester, it might possibly be relevant to current events though. Well, maybe not, but it does debunk a major tenet of leftist anthropology, so it’s always semi-relevant if nothing else. If you’ll recall my last article, I am an anthropologist by training, and

Feminists Feel A Nervous Tremor

May 20, 2017
Culture/Philosophy

A few weeks ago, the website “Feminist Current” wrote an article about the coming propagation of sex robots. As you might expect, it was not in favor of men utilizing these sex robots. The reason given for this trepidation was that sex robots are the epitome of patriarchy—now, women would no longer be seen as metaphorical

How Anthropology Makes The World Worse

Something that my readers may not know about me is that I am an anthropologist by training, biological (or evolutionary) anthropology to be exact.

Thoughts on The Reagan Years and Trump

May 9, 2017

With all the talk of Trump abandoning his campaign promises (and I’m certainly upset about that myself), and the diminishing fervor for the “god emperor,” there’s another right-wing “sacred cow” that I would like to take down a few pegs, and that’s one that Mr. Trump himself mentioned idealistically in one of his speeches. Namely… Can

The Appropriateness of Appropriation

You, the humble reader, might have noticed that race relations in the United States (particularly between blacks and whites) are at something of a nadir-not THE nadir of race relations, as that is an actual name given to a period from the end of Reconstruction to some point early in the 20th century, but pretty

Contrary to popular opinion, we at The Liberty Conservative are quite capable of entering stable, monogamous relationships—and I’m certainly no exception to that, as I am currently in a stable, monogamous relationship with a single woman.

The Solution To The American Prison Problem

April 3, 2017

As anybody can clearly see, the prison system, and really the justice system on the whole, completely sucks in the United States.

Stereotypes Can Be Beneficial

I’m about to drop a thesis that some might find…a bit controversial. And that thesis is—contrary to the popular wisdom, with its talk of “invisible knapsacks” (my featured image being a visible knapsack) and “stereotype threat”, stereotypes may, in fact, be beneficial! And not in the typical sense of stereotype formation having evolved as a

Things Gleaned from Updike’s “The Coup”

In his life, John Updike was considered to be one of, if not the, premier American novelists of the 20th century-his Rabbit Angstrom books are still considered to be one of the best satires of the archetypical downtrodden American husband and father (the genre arguably started by Sinclair Lewis’ Babbit), full of broken dreams and

Isn’t “The Nation of Immigrants” A Bit Offensive?

A Plan for Slavery Reparations

As most have probably noticed, the state of race relations in the United States could certainly be better.

A Review of “Noble Savages” by Napoleon Chagnon

We Were Already Living in Brave New World

In the last couple of weeks, it has been something of a big “human interest” story that people have been buying George Orwell’s 1984 en masse in a reaction to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States.

What I Learned from “The Art Of The Deal”

Rape Really Is About Power!

February 5, 2017

A cliche that you’ll often see in the regular public service announcements regarding rape and sexual assault is the idea that “rape isn’t about sex, it’s about power”. And, despite my derisive tone in the first sentence, I feel that this is basically true. Sex certainly isn’t difficult to get whether it’s free or purchased—while

The Cynicism of American Culture

Last week, I wrote an article discussing why the fabled “Great American Novel” will likely never come to pass.
