More thoughts on the Male Exodus – on how it reflects a social problem, its association with democracy, the importance of authority, disillusionment, the schizoid phenomena, and other things

In a recent conversation I some interesting remarks. I said that, it seems to me, that we are in what I called an “era of suppression”. I use the word “suppression” in a particular way. As I use the word, … Continue reading

Thoughts on how freedom, democracy, and equality leads to powerless nobodies – the illusion of intellectualism and the creation of systemism

Thoughts on some aspects of “reverse discrimination”, the creation of “false entitlement”, and the hidden culture clash

Thoughts on the hidden contempt of politicians in a democracy . . . a quality brought out in the Trump presidency – the dilemma of a “leader” with remarks about the “pretend democracy” and the “democratic Regency”
